Chapter 1349 “Call Xiachen A Bastard Child (5)”
Afraid the rancid old hag would scare his precious little sister that was in his arms, Bai Xiachen hurries to pat the girl’s back to pacify her mood. However, his woes were clearly pointless because Di Ling Yan only had her big brother in those eyes. Whatever foul language Yu Yao was spouting? It never made it past her ear.
“Good Ling Yan, go play by yourself first, your big brother here needs to take care of something.” He smiles reassuringly at the baby girl hanging off his neck.
It’s best to not let her see some pictures until she’s older….
“I don’t want to.” Shaking her head like a rocking drum, Di Ling Yan refuses, “I go where Big Brother goes.”
“Behave Ling Yan, go find Jin Tian and play first.” Due to how doting he was towards the baby girl, Bai Xiachen’s voice didn’t sound the least bit heavy like he’s afraid of scaring her.
Nevertheless, in light of her unwillingness to go, Di Ling Yan still did as told and dropped down from the boy’s arm. Her face said it all there: she’s not happy!
Yu Yao on the other hand continued to snicker with disdain at the scene. This bastard and wild child dare to order the princess around? I don’t know how he seduced the baby girl, but no one can shield him once the princess leaves. Once we’re alone, humph, I’ll make sure he learns who’s in charge!
But the old hag’s evil plot was never meant to be. Before Di Ling Yan could take a single step forward to leave, the footsteps that was still pretty far away had now come into view. These men were heavily dressed in armor, all looking sharp and strong in the eyes.
Yu Yao naturally felt elated at the supposed reinforcement: “What are you palace guards doing? How can you let a wild child into the palace grounds without anyone noticing? I’ll be sure to tell the king about your failure!”
Leading the group here was a demon by the name of Yuan Po, he’s the captain of this squadron. As for why he came running in such haste, it’s because he got a report from his subordinates earlier that Prince Xiachen has returned.
But……
What he didn’t expect on this meeting was the harsh words coming out of this Yu Yao’s mouth who shouldn’t be here to begin with. In fact, he could feel his knees shaking right now, that’s how horrified this captain was right now.
Just like their head, the rest of the palace guards were also stupefied. This woman is nothing more than the wife of that leopard tribe’s chief, how dare she scold the prince? And how dare she order us around? Who does she think she is?
Yu Yao continues to be oblivious as usual. Heck, if someone with a smidge of brain just took a closer look, they would immediately notice the livid faces across the men. Cocking her chin high: “From the way I see it, you palace guards also need to be punished and reorganized for this failure. Not only did this wild child sneak into the palace, he’s also trying to defend Mu Ying, this bad seed who tried to harm the princess. If it wasn’t for me coming in the nick of time, who knows what sort of plot they would’ve commited….”
Without preparation for that ridiculous accusation, Yuan Po the captain completely fell to the ground as he tripped while running. Instead of properly coming to greet Bai Xiachen by bowing on one knee, he ended up crawling and kowtowing like a criminal that was pleading for mercy.
Talk about bad timing, the poor demon captain never did a damn thing, he only came at the wrong time. Now he’s likely to suffer some sort of punishment for merely hearing Yu Yao’s foul tongue.
“Prin…. Prince Xiachen… forgive me for coming late!”
Prin…. Prince Xiachen?
Instantly after that title, Yu Yao’s cheeky grin froze, causing her expression to turn an ugly shade of white as she awkwardly stared at the boy.
