The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"No, I am just staying at the Master Seal's residence temporarily."

Caizhi felt a chill in her heart when she saw him staring at the child like that, and she quickly responded.

"How dare you! A slave like you has no right to speak here."

The eunuch in charge beside the emperor spat at her fiercely and signaled the young eunuch next to him to slap her in the face.

"..."

The young eunuch looked at Caizhi kneeling on the ground. His legs trembled and he fell to his knees with a plop, his head on the ground, trembling.

"Slave...slave dare not, slave deserves to die..."

This is the girl beside Pei Zhangyin. Who would dare to take action without his order?

"waste!"

The eunuch in charge kicked the young eunuch, turned his head and looked at the emperor attentively with an embarrassed look.

"I asked you a question, why didn't you answer?"

The emperor's face was not looking good either. He thought that the servants below were just putting on a show for him, thinking that he couldn't see anything.

"Sister Caizhi, get up quickly!"

Yuanyuan didn't have time to pay attention to the emperor. She squatted down and looked at Caizhi who was lying on the ground and trembling all over. She didn't understand why she was so scared.

Concubine Jing, who was standing by, also took the opportunity to break free, squatted down and pulled the child into her arms with trembling hands.

"Your Majesty, this child is still young and doesn't understand anything. Please don't argue with her."

"Oh! I didn't know when you became so close to Pei Zhangyin? You even know this kid's temper very well."

The emperor pushed away the beauty who was leaning on his arms, and his tone was already tainted with anger.

"I don't have any, Your Majesty, please understand."

Concubine Jing knelt down quickly, still in shock. She had married the emperor as a concubine before he ascended the throne, and their friendship in their youth had now become like this.

If this child hadn't spoken out to stop me today, I would have been exposed like a prostitute, naked in broad daylight and exposed to everyone.

"No?"

The emperor sneered. These women, as his concubines, were actually rushing to seduce a eunuch who was not even considered a human being.

A few days ago, Concubine Xu was tortured by him until she was unrecognizable. This is the result of defying the imperial power and being fickle.

"Why are you all kneeling?"

Yuanyuan couldn't pull Caizhi up, nor could she get Jingfei up. In her current understanding, kneeling down to someone was wrong.

"I am the Son of Heaven. All the people in the world must kneel before me. Why don't you kneel?"

The emperor's voice suddenly became stern. He flicked his long sleeves and frowned, looking quite regal.

"I don't want to kneel." Yuanyuan looked at his fierce look, raised her finger and pointed at him and added: "I hate you!"

Maybe it was because the old man’s attitude towards her before was so bad that she had become immune to it and was not afraid when she saw the emperor getting angry.

"Don't talk nonsense..."

Concubine Jing was so scared that she covered her mouth and pressed her little hand down.

Even though Pei Zhiyan has the final say in this palace, the emperor still has the final say. If you really annoy him, the consequences will be disastrous.

But this child was a little different from ordinary children. She was very stubborn and had never been seen kneeling down.

The air fell silent. The emperor stared at the child in front of him with his deep eyes for a moment and suddenly laughed out loud.

"Princess Jing, please come with me."

"..." Concubine Jing didn't react for a moment. Seeing him reaching out his hand to her, she turned pale with fear: "I am not feeling well. I want to go back and rest first."

But the emperor did not allow her to refuse and pulled her arm forcefully.

Seeing that he was still trying to bully Concubine Jing, Yuanyuan quickly slapped the back of his hand with her little hand, but unfortunately her strength was too weak and it had no effect at all.

"hiss--"

The emperor quickly withdrew his hand, leaving a deep red bite mark on the back of his hand. He angrily raised his hand to hit the child in the face.

A long knife was placed directly in front of the child. He hastily pulled his hand back and almost slapped the blade.

Wu Xian sheathed his sword, stood in front of the child with his tall body, and saluted the emperor.

"The Master Seal Holder has ordered that Concubine Jing has been making noise in the palace for no reason and disturbing the Master Seal Holder's peace. From today on, she is confined to her bedroom and is not allowed to leave without permission."

"Yes!"

Concubine Jing's tense heart finally relaxed and she was helped up by the nanny beside her.

She knew that Pei Zhiyan was helping her out because of the child, not because they had any friendship.

"The palace of Concubine Jing is separated from the Moon-Watching Tower by several palace roads. How could it disturb Master Pei's peace and quiet?"

The emperor gritted his teeth but had to put on a smile, although his heart was already trembling with hatred.

"Your Majesty, if the Master Seal says it is a disturbance, then it is a disturbance."

After Wu Xian reported, he picked up the child on the ground and strode away. Caizhi also quickly got up and chased after him.

"..."

The emperor looked at the backs of the people leaving with a distorted expression on his face. He raised his hand and slapped the courtesan next to him hard in the face.

"Didn't I tell you not to get close to Concubine Jing? Why are you meddling in her affairs?"

Wu Xian rushed over immediately after receiving the news from his subordinates. This little guy is really brave. He even dares to bite the emperor.

"She's a good person."

"How do you know she's a good person?"

"She gave me sweet treats."

Although Yuanyuan had only come into contact with Concubine Jing once, she spoke to her gently and wiped her sweat very gently.

"It's just a few pastries. Are you bought off by them? Just consider it as returning the favor for the pastries. Don't bother with her in the future."

Wu Xian carried her back to Wangyue Tower. Pei Zhiyan was sitting on the couch drinking tea, his eyes fixed on the child in his arms.

"What happened?"

"..."

Wu Xian narrated the entire incident and explained the unusual movements of officials in the capital while he was away.

"Rinse your mouth. How can you eat anything? Don't you think it's dirty?"

Pei Zhiyan listened to his report and poured tea into the child's mouth.

The little guy puffed up his cheeks and rinsed his mouth with tea. When he moved the teacup over, he opened his mouth to spit out the water, grabbed the water chestnut cake from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Didn't you go to bed?"

"How can I sleep if you get into trouble every time you go out?"

Pei Zhiyan poked her forehead with his slender fingers. What a heartless little thing, all she knew was eating and drinking.

"I didn't get into trouble..."

Yuanyuan looked up at him with a sullen face, thinking that she was doing a good deed.

"You damn duck has a tough mouth!"

Pei Zhiyan glanced at her and wiped away the pastry crumbs on the corner of her lips with his fingertips.

If I hadn't protected her, she would have died countless times with her reckless personality.

"Humph!"

Yuanyuan could tell that the old man was mocking her, so she folded her arms and turned her back to him, her tail almost reaching up to the sky.

"What are you humming?"

"I just hum!"

The little fellow was determined to go against him and snorted loudly a few more times.

"You grunt like a pig, you know that?"

Pei Zhiyan raised his eyebrows slightly and pushed her nose with his finger, making her look like a little pig.

"Ahhhh..."

The child slapped his hands in frustration, pouting and kicking his legs in anger.

"..."

Wu Xian looked at the father and daughter playing around, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue reporting.

Is the Master of Seal really listening to him?
