The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant's Beloved Youngest Daughter-Chapter 136: Can’t Believe It’s Real

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Can’t Believe It’s Real
Emperor Yongning was extremely fatigued at this moment, so exhausted that the functions of his body seemed greatly diminished, and even his vision was a bit hazy, unable to focus on a point.
It was difficult to be in a good state to read the letter.
But Emperor Yongning, after all, was Emperor Yongning, with formidable self-control.
He forcibly pressed down his exhaustion and concentrated on reading the letter.
The letter was only a single page, and Emperor Yongning swiftly read through its contents.
But why was the content of the letter different from what he thought?
The Crown Prince wasn’t encountering some trouble with the child abduction case, but rather...
The Crown Prince actually said he found Yi Yi outside, and there’s no need to send people to search anymore. Moreover, Yi Yi is right by his side, very safe.
All of this was within Emperor Yongning’s range of understanding and acceptance.
However, the Crown Prince also mentioned that while helping Yi Yi bathe, he accidentally discovered Yi Yi’s identity as a little girl. Yi Yi wasn’t a boy disguised as a girl; she was indeed female.
Initially, Emperor Yongning didn’t believe it, feeling the Crown Prince was speaking nonsense. But at the end of the letter, the Crown Prince staked his position as Crown Prince as a guarantee.
The Crown Prince wouldn’t joke about his position.
This showed that the matter was true.
Yet, Emperor Yongning suspected he hadn’t rested well for several days, causing his eyesight to blur to the point of being unable to clearly see the words on the letter, misreading its contents.
How could this be?
What wild fantasies was he having that he could even misread the letter’s content?
Yi Yi and Seventeen are twins, both Princes.
Just that Yi Yi looks good in female attire, resembling the little princess he longed for, so he allowed Yi Yi to dress as a girl.
Yi Yi is a boy cross-dressing as a girl, not truly a girl.
He always felt it was a pity Yi Yi wasn’t a girl and frequently thought Yi Yi should have been a girl.
Thinking about it was one thing, but how did he misread the letter to see it as he wished it to be?
Absurd!
Emperor Yongning rose, circled the room, and after rubbing his eyes to reread it, found it still the same.
It was somewhat unbelievable to him. No, more precisely, he couldn’t believe it was true.
With trembling hands, he handed the letter to Xiao Lizi, saying, "Xiao Lizi, read this letter to me, will you?" Xiao Lizi reading it shouldn’t be wrong, right?
Xiao Lizi bewilderedly took the letter and began reading.
After reading, he understood why the Emperor suddenly asked him to read the letter.
All previous letters delivered to the Imperial Study Room were read by the Emperor himself. The sudden request for him to read it was because the Emperor doubted what his own eyes saw in the letter, suspecting he might have misread it, hence why he was asked to read it.
Xiao Lizi said firmly, "Your Majesty, you didn’t misread the letter, Eighteen is indeed a princess, not pretending, she is your long-desired little princess, perfectly rooted and red. Moreover, the Crown Prince personally verified this, with absolute certainty."
Whether or not Emperor Yongning heard Xiao Lizi’s words, he sat there motionless for quite some time before putting on a cloak, without even wearing shoes, and headed out to the outer part of the Imperial Study Room.
Xiao Lizi hurriedly picked up the shoes from the floor and followed.
Upon catching up, he saw Emperor Yongning inexplicably standing by the large waist-high tank that housed lotus flowers, scooping water from it to wash his face several times.
This behavior was indeed inscrutable, what on earth was he doing?
Xiao Lizi said, "Your Majesty, that’s water for the lotus flowers, why use that for washing your face? If you want to wash, allow me to fetch water for you."
As he spoke, Xiao Lizi helped Emperor Yongning put on his shoes, and assisted him back inside.
The night breeze was cool, with a large temperature difference between day and night, given Emperor Yongning’s current physical condition, remaining outside for long was indeed unsuitable, not to mention washing his face with such water, lest he fall ill again.
But Emperor Yongning shrugged off Xiao Lizi’s supporting hand, saying, "Xiao Lizi, I want to know if I’m really dreaming?"
Emperor Yongning was so afraid the letter was a dream, seeing in the letter that Yi Yi was his daughter, that there was no cross-dressing, was also a dream.
Once he woke up, everything would vanish.
He wouldn’t be able to accept that.
Xiao Lizi thought, "Does the Emperor not think there’s something wrong with the letter anymore? Instead, he thinks there’s something wrong with himself? Imagining this is all his dream? Not real?"
It’s quite outrageous.
Just how afraid was he that the letter’s contents could not be real!
"This is not a dream," Xiao Lizi said: "Your Majesty, didn’t you just wash your face with cold water? Did you feel it? The water is cold, and one wouldn’t experience such a real sensation in a dream."
Emperor Yongning thought for a moment, delighting: "The water is indeed cold, this really isn’t a dream!!!"
Saying that, Emperor Yongning once again used the cold water from the tank to wash his face, feeling the water’s temperature once more.
It’s icy water, not a dream.
"Ha ha ha... ha ha ha..."
Emperor Yongning was overjoyed.
His treasure was truly female, truer than pure gold.
His treasure was outstanding.
Emperor Yongning didn’t know how long he laughed, but finally, he stopped. Stopping, he was impatient to go outside, to see his treasure and hear her say she indeed was the girl, the daughter he longed for.
Emperor Yongning likely forgot that Jun Ning had long told him she wasn’t male, but female; it was Emperor Yongning who didn’t believe it.
Xiao Lizi, however, remembered this matter, and reminded Emperor Yongning briefly, whereupon he recalled in Cining Palace, the little girl in his arms told him she was indeed a little girl.
At that time, he thought she was jesting and paid no attention, merely listening for entertainment.
Now, it seemed he had been wrong.
Emperor Yongning remorsefully raised his hand and slapped his forehead, "What was I thinking back then, why didn’t I believe my treasure’s words? Would she have needed to joke about such a thing with me? Surely not."
Moreover, the matter of Yi Yi dressing as a boy was a hot topic within the palace, Qiong Hua must have known. Yet Qiong Hua never objected, nor hindered what others saw as a wildly ridiculous act of letting a boy pose as a girl.
Evidently, because she knew Yi Yi was a girl, posing as a girl was only natural, so she didn’t oppose it.
But why didn’t she tell him sooner?
If she had spoken sooner, it wouldn’t have resulted in so many issues.
Emperor Yongning couldn’t understand, and when he couldn’t understand, he could only turn to Qiong Hua for clarification. Qiong Hua had already gone to bed, but was pulled from her covers. When Emperor Yongning asked her about this, she replied helplessly, "I thought Yi Yi told you, so I didn’t mention it."
She did say, but he didn’t believe.
Well, Qiong Hua wasn’t intentionally hiding it.
It could only be said that he himself didn’t believe, missing the truth, and causing this series of farcical incidents, for which he bore significant responsibility.
In the future, he must take heed, never to dismiss the children’s words as untrue.
