The noisy crowd was silent for a moment, and everyone knelt down as if they were facing a great enemy.

Xiao Liuli heard her father's voice, turned her head in a daze, and her two dull eyes were full of endless fear on her pale little face.

The white sunlight fell through the eaves, and she was reflected like a fragile porcelain—

It seems to shatter at the touch of a button.

Xiahou Qi's heart was slightly suffocated.

He strode forward, his steps hurried and sluggish.

The dignity and majesty of being a king were left behind at this moment, and they could not be cared about anymore.

"Daddy......"

Xiao Liuli looked up at him, and after confirming that it was really his father, the fear in his eyes turned into grievances.

"What's wrong?"

Xiahou Qi bent down to hug her and held her in his arms with his arms.

The movements were so gentle that even he didn't notice them.

The little one seemed to have something to rely on, and his whole face was buried in his father's shoulder, and he let out a low, helpless whimper.

"Daddy, I just want a steamed bun, did I do it wrong......"

"Why did my uncle and aunt lock me up in a dark room, beat me and scold me?"

"I just want a steamed bun ......"

Xiao Liuli couldn't help crying anymore.

On a snowy night last year, she wanted to ask her mother for a steamed bun to celebrate her birthday, but the adults in charge of the meal couldn't help but pull her hair and drag her into a dark room.

She couldn't see anything, but she could feel the sticks hitting her, and she cried out in pain.

But the harder you cry, the more painful it hurts.

Since then, she has learned to cry silently and has become more obedient.

Now snuggled in her father's arms, as if she has something to rely on, she can finally vent the grievances in her heart.

"Daddy, I didn't do anything wrong, and I'm not a bad boy......"

Listening to the little guy's heart-rending cry, Xiahou Qi's heart was tightly pinched.

He caressed her back, whispering comfort over and over again.

"Yes, you're not wrong, it's them who are wrong."

"You are my daughter, the princess of Dayan, you can do whatever you want, you can do anything."

"This is true both in the past and in the future."

The tyrant, who never said much, seems to use all the patience of this life in this moment.

And Xiao Liuli gradually calmed down under the soothing of her father's gentle and slow words.

Then he fell into a deep sleep.

Everyone was stunned.

Emperor Dayan's sudden appearance in the imperial dining room was enough to shock them, but what was the scene in front of them?

It is rumored that the cold-faced tyrant who cuts people when he is angry actually holds the child so gently!

"Ahh

At that moment, a wail broke the peace of the room.

was bullied by a cat on the head, and the manager was so angry that he picked up a kitchen knife from the board and wanted to cut at the cat's spine.

Bai Ze dodged flexibly, jumped outside the house in a few positions, and hid behind Xiahou Qi.

As the saying goes, no matter how high your kung fu is, you are afraid of kitchen knives!

It's just a cat now, so it's not stupid enough to go head-to-head with a kitchen knife.

"Where did this brute go? Don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!" ”

The steward's face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see, so he could only swing his knife indiscriminately.

He followed the blurred white shadow to find the direction of Xiahou Qi, and his face was hideous and terrifying.

As soon as He Xiang, who was slowing down, arrived at the place, he saw a bloodstained and crazy person rushing straight towards His Majesty.

Still with a kitchen knife in your hand!

He Xiang exclaimed, and before the word "help" was shouted, the madman had already been kicked away by Xiahou Qi.

People fly three meters away, and dust is five feet high.

The steward lay on the ground and cried bitterly.

Why?

He was just driving away a little beggar, why should he suffer such pain!

The manager got up tremblingly, and his first reaction was to pick up the kitchen knife.

Today is the Emperor Lao Tzu coming, and he is going to kill that beast!

"Drag him here!" Xiahou Qi ordered.

The guards skillfully stepped forward and grabbed the steward's feet and dragged him to the emperor like a livestock.

The manager who hadn't found the kitchen knife couldn't slow down at all, and he took another kick to the head, rolling two or three times before stopping.

But Xiahou Qi didn't mean to stop at all, he dragged back when he flew, and kicked back when he was dragged to him......

The crowd of onlookers was dumbfounded.

Rao is a well-informed Bai Ze, and when he encountered the scene at first glance, he also shook his head.

It's bloody! It's violent! It's cruel!

Still, it loves!

Who let this turtle grandson bully Libao without knowing whether he is alive or dead!

"He Xiang, what crime should the head of the imperial dining room be guilty of today's actions?"

Xiahou Qi seemed to be tired of kicking, and after the others were dragged over again, there was only disgust left in his half-lowered eyes.

"According to the law of Dayan, the assassination of the current saint will be executed by Ling Chi! Insulting the royal bloodline is an additional crime! ”

He Xiang raised his voice and deliberately bit the words "royal blood".

The crowd was shocked.

It turned out that the emperor was really holding the princess of Dayan!

Those who spoke wantonly before are now soaked in cold sweat with fright!

I could only pray secretly that the emperor did not hear their rebellious remarks.

But how could Heaven do what they wanted?

Xiahou glanced at it coldly, "What should we do with everyone present?" ”

He Xiang half-bowed and said in a lofty tone: "Ignoring the princess, you should be executed!" ”

When the people who were still lucky heard this, they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

The same is true of the chief who is lying on the ground, although he cannot see, but his ears are still good.

"Ling Chi was executed" and "the crime was added to the first degree" were heard even more clearly.

"Big, sir? No, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The villain is unintentional, the villain doesn't know that it is Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is really an unintentional move! Your Majesty! ”

He knelt down a few steps against his bloody face.

Xiahou Qi felt disgusted and didn't want to take another look, so he ordered in a cold voice.

"All those present today are punished with fifty rods, and the head of the imperial dining room—"

"I don't know the princess, gouge out your eyes! Insult the princess and pull out the tongue! Push and hit the princess, cut off your hands! ”

"Spread my will, and those who commit it again in the future will be like this!"

In just a few words, everyone was nailed to the spot.

The emperor's words are tantamount to warning the harem that the little princess is very important!

Whoever disrespects the princess will be rewarded with death!

And spare their lives, in order to pass the news to the harem.

Everyone bowed their heads and thanked each other, exchanged glances with each other in private, and understood each other.

This harem, I'm afraid it's going to change......

After announcing everything, Xiahou Qi sat on the chariot with Xiao Liuli in his arms and returned to the Yongshou Palace.

Bai Ze followed behind inch by inch, running on four legs to be on fire.

He Xiang stayed behind to supervise the punishment, and the guards pressed the chief and punished in front of everyone to set an example.

A group of people who were originally resentful, after witnessing the torture of the governor, were already grateful to face the cane again.

In just half a day, the matter of the imperial dining room spread in the palace.

The rumors spread quickly.

When the news reached Pankang Palace, Concubine Gao was holding a soup bowl to feed medicine to the four princes.

Hearing this, she threw the medicine bowl on the ground like crazy, her eyes full of resentment.

"I knew that this little wild seed finally followed her's foxy energy!"
