Chapter 1497: Leading The Spirit Beasts To Attack The City XXV
He had just spoken when the little prince dashed out of the palace like a gust of wind.
The eunuch felt weak in his knees from fright. “Your Highness, you can’t go outside!”
Thankfully, before the little prince had gotten far, two guards had blocked his way.
“Your Highness, it’s dangerous outside. You can’t go out there.”
“Get lost!” The little fatty’s excessive fat was shaking as he kicked the guard. “Get lost immediately, or I’ll get Mother to cripple you!”
The guard winced but dared not make a sound. “We have received orders from the emperor not to let you leave.”
“You…” The little fatty’s eyes widened as he glared at them furiously.
“The nerve of you!” A cold voice barked not too far away, sounding menacing. “Who has allowed you to block my ninth brother’s way?”
When the little prince lifted his head, he saw an elegantly dressed young man slowly walking over. The little prince snorted and turned away, unwilling to look at him.
“Ninth Brother, I was just joking with you back then. Why did you go to the spirit beast forest?” The young man was smiling brightly. “You ended up making Father and Mother worry a lot.”
Qi Yue pouted, clearly reluctant to speak to this young man.
The young man raised his head to look at the guards blocking the way. “My ninth brother is a natural-born coward. Did you think he would go to the city gate? Father is personally there at the city gates to stop the intruders so those people wouldn’t be able to enter. My brother is just feeling playful and wants to leave the palace when Father’s not here.”
Qi Yue kept quiet and pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.
The guards exchanged glances, feeling hesitant.
The young man continued, “Forget it. I’ll take my ninth brother out personally. If Father asks about this, you can use this as an explanation. If you continue to stop ninth brother, don’t say I didn’t remind you that you’ll both be tortured to the point where you wish you were dead with his temper.”
The guards’ expressions faltered slightly.
The little prince truly had a terrible temper, and he liked to hold grudges. If they insisted on not letting him out to play, he would definitely take revenge on them in the future.
“Your Highness, then if the emperor asks…”
“Just tell him that I took him out to play.” The young man smiled gently.
“Understood, Third Prince.”
The guards heaved a quiet sigh of relief. With the third prince’s word, they would not have to worry about giving the emperor an explanation or having to face the little prince’s revenge.

Outside the palace gates, the young man stopped and looked back at the wide-open palace gates. He then turned to the little prince with a smile that did not quite reach his eyes. “Ninth Brother, you shouldn’t have come back alive.”
The little prince glared at the young man. “What does it have anything to do with you whether or not I return? You won’t be able to harm me that easily and my mother won’t forgive you.”
“Is that so?” With a smile, the young man lowered his gaze at the little prince. “Then, I’d like to see which one of us will get the last laugh, hahaha!”
The young man laughed out loud and walked past the little prince, not giving him another glance as he headed toward the streets.
The little prince was not in the mood to care about him. Like a little meatball, he ran in the direction of the city gates.
The streets of Wu Shang City remained silent as usual, but it was filled with bloodshed and slaughter outside the city gates.
As Feng Lianqing watched this scene before him, he felt more anxious. He never thought the little prince would tell the emperor about Miss Feng whipping him.
‘It’d be great if Master was here… Master will definitely have the power to stop all this!’
The empress’s eyes were venomous, and her gaze was like a knife as she stared fixedly at Feng Ruqing.
