The Emperor didn’t pay attention to the National Master’s words at first. He knew the National Master was unaware of what the peasant woman had done to his precious daughter. Of course, he didn’t plan to tell him either. However, upon hearing the latter part of the National Master’s words, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows.
"What did you say?"
"I said, it is detrimental to her virtue for the Princess to bury people alive, Your Majesty. You should intervene!"
Hearing the Emperor question him, the National Master thought he had taken his advice to heart. An emperor who listens to advice is a good emperor! However, the Emperor then said, "Not that sentence, the one after that."
The Little Emperor’s brows furrowed so deeply it seemed he could squash a fly between them.
"I said, burying someone alive is detrimental to virtue, and it’s even worse that the Princess cruelly gouged out the person’s eyes. This is practically ensuring they won’t have a complete body even in death! If Your Majesty doesn’t discipline her now, when she grows up, she might..."
"Stop talking!"
The Little Emperor raised his hand, stopping the National Master from continuing. The Little Emperor’s face was etched with seriousness.
"Your Majesty!"
The National Master felt a surge of anger; he barely recognized the Emperor due to this sudden change. He indulged a child, proclaiming her a Princess without any discussion with the ministers, and not only gave her a highly symbolic title but also doted on her excessively. When the little girl wanted to bury someone alive, he even personally dug the pit for her! Is this behavior befitting a ruler of a nation?
The National Master was so angry his chest heaved.
"National Master, be quiet for now and let me think!"
The Little Emperor waved his hand at him again and began pacing back and forth before the National Master. The National Master grew dizzy watching him.
After a long while, he finally stopped and declared with certainty, "I remember very clearly, Xiaosuisui did not lay a single finger on that venomous woman! It was not Xiaosuisui who gouged out her eyes!"
"What did you say, Your Majesty?"
The National Master was also stunned. If the Princess didn’t gouge out the woman’s eyes, then what happened to the eyes of the Lucky Star’s mother? At this moment, the National Master felt an inexplicable sense of horror. He even overlooked the Little Emperor referring to Li Chunxiang as a "venomous woman."
"I remember very clearly, Xiaosuisui did not gouge out that venomous woman’s eyes. There must be something wrong here."
The Little Emperor repeated himself, then immediately spoke to the air, "Go, bring my Lord God Hunter here! Also, check if the Ji Family members have returned. Have them all come to see me!"
Hearing the Little Emperor’s orders, the National Master also realized something was amiss. He stood quietly to one side. After a moment, a shadow guard came to report.
"Your Majesty, neither Lord God Hunter nor the Ji Family are present. They have all gone to Ling Village."
"Send someone to urge them to hurry."
After giving his orders, the Little Emperor also waved his hand at the National Master, saying, "National Master, you may return for now. I will have this matter thoroughly investigated!"
The National Master thought, ...Is that it?His purpose for coming here wasn’t just this, was it?
Forget it. Seeing the Little Emperor clearly didn’t want to discuss it further, he decided it wasn’t his place to linger and thus departed.
Upon leaving the Emperor’s residence, the National Master saw Xiaosuisui standing on the high enclosure wall, flying a kite. The National Master glanced at her with disdain and left without a word of greeting.
Xiaosuisui only jumped down from the wall after watching the National Master walk away until he was out of sight. The Little Emperor, who had just emerged from the room, saw this and was so frightened his heart nearly leaped out of his chest.
"Slow down! Be careful. It’s so high to jump from; what if you injure your feet?"
The Little Emperor examined her feet from top to bottom. Only when he saw she was unharmed did he feel relieved.
"They won’t get hurt! Suisui will never hurt her feet, ever!"
