Ji Youlin and the young Emperor faced each other. Ji Youlin’s eyes were so bloodshot they were almost unbearable to look at directly.
"My mother asked me who I offended. I figure, in this world, the person who most wants to capture and discipline me, aside from Your Majesty, is no one else, right? Besides, the best doctors in the world are all in the Imperial Medical Bureau at the Imperial Palace, aren’t they?"
When Ji Youlin said this, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Old Six! Don’t speak such nonsense!"
Without a second thought, Old Lady Ji slapped him on the head. Is this Old Six trying to get our whole family killed? Or does he simply not want to live anymore?
"Mother! I’m telling the truth! If you don’t believe me, ask him. Hasn’t he been wanting to dismember me in his heart for a long time?"
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor felt an urge to touch his nose, but as an emperor, his conduct and bearing had to be elegant.
He slowly poured himself a cup of tea and said, "It’s true that in my heart, I’ve wanted to dismember you. However, I also cherish talent. Your craft requires both your hands and your eyes. If I truly wanted to deal with you, I’d simply have someone cut off your legs. That way, you couldn’t run away. Wouldn’t that be better?"
"You... They say an Emperor’s mind has nine bends and eighteen turns. Today, I’ve truly witnessed it."
Ji Youlin’s words amused the young Emperor. However, before he could speak, Ji Youlin’s head was once again met with a slap from Old Lady Ji.
"You rascal! How dare you speak to His Majesty like that? He is the sovereign, and you are his subject! Don’t you understand the saying, ’If the ruler wants a subject to die, the subject must die’?"
Old Lady Ji, there’s really no need for you to say such things, is there?
"Alright, Mother! I think I roughly know what’s wrong with Sixth Brother’s eyes. I’ll take him out to have someone look at them. We’ll take our leave first."
Zhu Xiuxiu really couldn’t hold back any longer; the problem with Sixth Brother’s eyes had indeed surfaced. That precious child of our family, that mouth of hers! We must find a solution!
"Who are you taking him to see? I’ll go with you!"
Hearing Zhu Xiuxiu say she was going to take Ji Youlin to see someone about his eyes, Ji Youran couldn’t sit still and immediately wanted to go with them.
Zhu Xiuxiu pushed him back down. "Second Brother, you should stay here and have tea with His Majesty. I don’t think you want to meet that particular person."
Ever since Ji Youran found out he was struck by lightning because Xiaosuisui had opened her Celestial Eye, he hadn’t looked at her kindly even once!
"Who is it? There aren’t many people I dislike that much!"
Ji Youran still wanted to go, but in the end, he was stopped by Ji Youyuan.
When Zhu Xiuxiu, dragging Ji Youlin along, found Xiaosuisui, she saw her holding Xiaobai. Xiaosuisui had two earthworms in her palm and was trying to get Xiaobai to eat them!
Xiaobai tilted his head back, his nose twitching, tears welling in the corners of his eyes.
"Xiaobai, eat up quickly! How will you grow big and strong if you don’t eat meat?"
The corners of Zhu Xiuxiu’s mouth twitched, and she put a hand to her forehead. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ji Youlin beside her say, "You silly girl! It’s a vegetarian rabbit, yet you insist on feeding it worms. What do you think it is? A chicken?"
Upon hearing Ji Youlin’s words, Zhu Xiuxiu’s eyelid twitched instinctively. Oh no, Old Six is done for!
Indeed, just as she had that thought, she heard Xiaosuisui say, "Xiaobai isn’t vegetarian! He eats meat!"
"Are you blind? Where do you see him eating meat? Didn’t you see those earthworms in your palm? You keep trying to stuff them into his mouth, and he’s about to cry!"
Ji Youlin was almost amused to death by his little niece. A cute, plump white rabbit, yet she insisted on raising it like a chicken, feeding it worms all the time. Why didn’t she just raise it like a dog?
And feed it bones directly, right?
