"Princess, what exactly brought you to the Xie Family’s home in the first place? And what about all that has happened since then?"
Xiaosuisui walked to Xie Pan’Er’s side, grabbed her arm, and introduced her to Long Wu.
"Long Wu, let me tell you, this is my beautiful sister. She said if she spent too long buying preserved fruit and got back late, she would be punished, so I brought Sister Feifei back."
She then pointed to Xie Pan’Er and continued, "Upon our return, we saw that wicked man about to beat my beautiful sister’s mother to death, and he even wanted to kill me and my Xiaobai." Lastly, she pointed at Xie Yinghui. "He wouldn’t let me go home and wanted to fight me, so I fought him."
Long Wu took a long time to make sense of it all. He hadn’t completely comprehended the first part, but had managed to piece together most of it from the Princess’s words!
"Offending the Princess and arbitrarily administering punishment—rest assured, Princess. I will faithfully report this matter to His Majesty and request his judgment."
"What needs my judgment?"
A majestic voice rang out from behind them, causing everyone in the courtyard to drop to their knees. "We pay our respects to Your Majesty! Long live the Emperor, ten thousand years, ten thousand times ten thousand years!"
"Father-Emperor!"
Seeing the young Emperor, Xiaosuisui scampered over and hugged his leg, gazing up at him with a giggle. "Father-Emperor, what brings you here?"
The young Emperor bent down, scooped Xiaosuisui up, and pinched her cheeks, where a bit of baby fat had just appeared.
"My precious daughter went missing from her own home under mysterious circumstances. How could I not come out and look for you myself?"
Xiaosuisui pouted. "I was planning to go back as soon as I found Xiaobai, but then I met my beautiful sister. Father-Emperor, her mother is so pitiful! Look at how badly she was beaten!"
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor could not help but gaze at the kneeling members of the Xie Family. His imposing, dragon-like eyes swept over each one of them. Feeling the Son of Heaven’s authority and wrath, they all shivered in fear.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to explain! There are truly hidden circumstances behind our offense to the Princess..."
First Madam Xie, seeing the Emperor for the first time, was already trembling with fear. She thought of her offense to the Princess and the implication behind the Princess’s words—accusing her of abusing Xie Pan’Er’s mother, Madam Luo.
The young Emperor did not listen to her ramblings. With a sweep of his eyes, he had already deduced the general situation from the scene before him. Moreover, he had overheard most of what happened as he entered.
"Offending the Princess, and privately administering punishment. Regardless of whether you were wronged or deserved it, for the offense against the Princess alone, death would be too lenient a punishment for you."
The young Emperor spoke languidly. His tone was not loud, but the underlying anger was substantial.
The members of the Xie Family trembled with terror, opening their mouths to beg for mercy, but then they heard the Emperor continue.
"However... as the saying goes, those who act in ignorance are not held guilty. My Princess has just arrived in the capital, so your offense, stemming from your unfamiliarity with her, might be forgivable."
"Yes, yes! Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty is wise!"
Hearing the Xie family’s flattery, a slight smile touched the young Emperor’s lips. "Your ignorance in offending the Princess might be excused. However, this private administration of punishment and disregard for human life violate the laws of the Great Han. Youze, you are thoroughly familiar with our national laws; why don’t you enlighten these members of the Xie Family a little?"
The Youze whom His Majesty the Emperor referred to, whose full name was Ji Youze, was the youngest son of old General Ji—and also Xiaosuisui’s youngest maternal uncle.
At this point, Xiaosuisui had no idea that the handsome man named by her Father-Emperor was her only maternal uncle whom she had not yet met.
Nestled in the young Emperor’s arms, she clapped her hands. "Enlighten them! Enlighten them!"
The young Emperor pinched her little cheek again. "Good girl. We’ll head back to the Palace now. Let your younger uncle handle things here!"
"Younger uncle?" Xiaosuisui’s eyes widened in surprise. Looking at Ji Youze’s face, she exclaimed, "Younger Uncle is so beautiful! He’s as beautiful as Beautiful Sister!"
Ji Youze’s face instantly darkened.
