A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 578 He Used ’Get Out’ on Me
Chapter 578: Chapter 578 He Used ’Get Out’ on Me
Xiaosuisui pointed to her nose and looked at Prince Yan, her large, puzzled eyes blinking.
"I am referring to you. Roll down at once!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaosuisui’s expression suddenly changed. She abruptly stood up, leaped off the Dragon Throne, grabbed Prince Yan by the collar, and attempted to throw him out of the hall.
BANG, SMACK, CRASH... Sounds resonated.
Outside in the Square, the two, one large and one small, began to clash.
Prince Yan was a skilled military commander. Though experienced, he was initially caught off guard, allowing Xiaosuisui to seize the initiative.
However, as the fight continued, they exchanged blows back and forth for over a dozen rounds.
"How did this turn into a fight?"
The courtiers were rattled, expressing their astonishment aloud. They rushed out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, standing under the eaves to watch the unfolding confrontation.
Inside the Great Hall, Eunuch Ling was greatly distressed.
"How did Prince Yan start fighting with the Eldest Princess?"
"The Princess is still so young; what if she gets seriously hurt by Prince Yan?"
"The Princess belongs to the Ji Family. Her seven uncles are not to be trifled with."
Panicked, Eunuch Ling shouted towards the commotion outside, "Stop fighting! Your Highness, stop! The Eldest Princess is still young; please don’t hurt her!"
After shouting to those outside, Eunuch Ling hurriedly turned to the Emperor, who was still seated on the Dragon Throne.
"Oh, Your Majesty! How can you remain seated?
"What if the Eldest Princess is badly injured by Prince Yan?"
Seeing Eunuch Ling’s desperation, the Emperor, still unconcerned, chuckled lightly.
"Don’t worry! Prince Yan can’t hurt my precious daughter!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Ling quickly retorted, "But the Eldest Princess can’t hurt Prince Yan either!"
As soon as Eunuch Ling finished speaking, the Emperor suddenly leaped from the Dragon Throne and dashed out with the speed of an 800-meter sprinter.
"Suisui, stop!"
The Emperor’s loud shout left the courtiers bewildered.
Did His Majesty call out to the wrong person?
Shouldn’t he be telling Prince Yan to stop?
Just as the courtiers finished their thoughts, they witnessed the four-and-a-half-year-old Eldest Princess let out a great yell, "AH!" And then...
Everyone was stunned.
They stared, eyes wide in disbelief, involuntarily gulping.
How is this possible?
His Majesty the Emperor rushed out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, taking long strides, only to be met with an astonishing sight.
His cherished daughter had grabbed Prince Yan by his belt, lifted him horizontally, and was swinging him around in the Square, clearly looking for a good spot to slam him hard onto the ground!
Terrified, the Emperor shouted, "Suisui, don’t slam him!"
The Emperor’s shout came just in time, causing Xiaosuisui to pause.
"Why can’t I slam him?" Xiaosuisui asked loudly, still holding Prince Yan aloft as she looked up at the Emperor.
"Daughter, if you slam him, you might kill him. Put him down quickly! Be good, listen to me!"
Hearing this, Xiaosuisui responded with an "Oh," and said, "So, Foster Father, you’re worried I might kill him?"
The Emperor nodded vigorously. "Yes, Daughter. Important matters are at hand. Killing someone would be terrible, wouldn’t it?"
Xiaosuisui nodded in agreement and replied, "Killing someone is indeed bad. So, I won’t kill him."
The Emperor and his courtiers finally let out a collective sigh of relief.
However...
THUMP! A loud thud echoed, followed by Prince Yan’s piercing cry of pain.
The crowd was dumbfounded. "Didn’t she say she wouldn’t slam him? Princess, why don’t you keep your word?"
The courtiers watched in utter shock, questions of disbelief tumbling from their lips.
Xiaosuisui quickly shook her head. "Uh-huh! I never said I wouldn’t slam him! I said I wouldn’t kill him. Look, isn’t he still alive?"
The courtiers hurried forward to check on Prince Yan. Indeed, he was still breathing, but his injuries...
"Prince Yan’s life isn’t in danger, but these injuries..." one muttered.
Earl Pingnan, who had a military background and some knowledge of injury assessment, shook his head, confirming the severity.
The Emperor, exasperated, instructed Eunuch Ling, "Quickly, send for the Imperial Physician! And have Prince Yan moved to a Side Palace to be tended to!"
Eunuch Ling accepted the command, his heart pounding with trepidation.
"Princess, why did you suddenly attack him?" Dugu Xiao asked, perplexed, looking at Xiaosuisui, who stood to one side, arms crossed, chin held high, watching Prince Yan being carried away.
"He told me to ’roll.’ Foster Father said that if anyone dares to say that word to me, I should beat them until they roll on the ground like a dog!"
The little girl’s voice was crisp, her words fierce. If not for the preceding spectacle, everyone hearing this would have probably died laughing.
But now, they all instinctively clapped their hands over their mouths.
The Emperor couldn’t help but twitch his lips, pondering inwardly,
So, this is my fault then?
"Eunuch Ling, a servant from Earl Pingnan’s Mansion has brought the silver," a young eunuch ed, entering with a tray.
"Give it to the Earl!" the Emperor instructed.
The young eunuch handed the silver to Earl Pingnan. Xiaosuisui’s eyes lit up upon seeing the silver, and all that had just transpired seemed to vanish from her mind.
"We have money! Let’s go play!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Earl Pingnan... or rather, at the silver in his hands!
Earl Pingnan’s mind, however, was entirely filled with the image of her lifting Prince Yan, spinning him around, and slamming him to the ground...
He too came from a military background and possessed considerable martial skill. Yet, it was obvious that even Earl Pingnan, a seasoned veteran who had survived countless battlefields, was no match for this little girl.
And so, Earl Pingnan obediently accompanied the Eldest Princess to the gambling tables in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for three hundred rounds.
In this round of gambling, it could be said the Eldest Princess was completely victorious. She won a combined total of over one hundred thousand taels of silver from the civil and military officials, a haul comparable to the winnings fleeced by any gambling house in the Capital City.
The moment the eunuchs cleared away the tables, the Emperor finally spoke.
"Today, the money my beloved courtiers lost to the Eldest Princess shall be considered a donation to the victims in the Yunhang disaster area. Do any of my beloved courtiers have any objections?"
Who would dare to object? First, there was the incident of the gambling house being plundered yesterday. Then, the Emperor himself had the Eldest Princess gamble with them. And after witnessing her overwhelming might in subduing Prince Yan, no one dared utter a single word of dissent!
"We, your humble servants, have no objections!"
A faint smile touched the Emperor’s lips. He changed the subject and began to discuss the details of the disaster relief.
"My beloved courtiers, the funds for disaster relief have now been raised. I have already dispatched people to transport them to Yunhang in advance. Furthermore, given the severity of the disaster in Yunhang, I believe there is an important matter that needs to be addressed, that must be addressed. Do my beloved courtiers know what it is?"
The moment this topic was introduced, the hall once again filled with hushed whispers.
