Chapter 552: Xiaohu Acknowledging His Father

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In Kunning Palace, Princess Jingning was teaching Princess Hui An how to shoot.

Princess Hui An’s archery was always consistent. As usual, she missed the target. After practicing early in the morning, she did not hit a single target. Princess Hui An threw the bow in exasperation. “This bow is not good!”

Princess Jingning said calmly, “If you can’t do it yourself, why are you blaming the bow?”

Princess Hui An said seriously, “It’s just that the bow isn’t good! I’ve shot the bullseye before!”

“Once,” Princess Jingning emphasized.

Moreover, it was hard to say if Hui An had shot it that time.

‘Your… your garden won’t do! It’s too small! The target is wrong!”

Princess Hui An found all kinds of faults. In short, she refused to admit that she couldn’t.

Princess Jingning said, “Alright, go to the imperial garden to practice. It’s big enough.”

Princess Hui An was about to collapse.

The two of them brought the palace maids and eunuchs to the imperial garden.

“The stool is too hot!” “The water is too bright!”

“The sun is too bright!”

Princess Hui An continued to nitpick.

Recently, because the news of Xiao Zhonghua angering Emperor Jing Xuan had spread like wildfire, the treatment of Qi Xiang Palace in the Internal Affairs Department had been affected. However, because Princess Hui An had been brought into Kunning Palace, she was with Princess Jingning day and night. For a moment, no one dared to stack the deck against her.

“Can’t I rest for a while? My arm is sore.” Princess Hui An felt wronged. Princess Jingning was merciful. “Then rest for a while.”

The two of them sat down on the stone stool. Princess Hui An was almost exhausted and nodded at the table.

Princess Jingning said, “You didn’t sleep well?”

Princess Hui An snorted. “Of course, I can’t sleep well with you!”

Princess Jingning said coldly, “I should be the one who can’t sleep well. I wonder who puts their hand on me every night…”

Princess Hui An said angrily, “Put my hand on you?”

Princess Jingning glanced at Hui An’s proud chest and said seriously, “It’s nothing. Behave yourself in the future!”

She slept very obediently and well. Princess Hui An was simply baffled.

As the two of them spoke, they did not notice a sneaky figure approaching silently.

She was holding a poisonous snake in her hand. The poisonous snake flicked its cold tongue.

“Are you feeling dry?”

A childish voice suddenly sounded behind her.

Her body trembled and she pinched. The poisonous snake hurt and actually bit the back of her hand!

Her pupils constricted as she gritted her teeth and let out a muffled groan.

“What’s that sound?” Princess Jing Ning asked.

The palace maid was frightened to death. She threw the poisonous snake away and ran!

Xiaohu grabbed the poisonous snake on the ground. “Your shoes (snakes), your shoes (snakes)!”

Viper was a very precious medicinal herb. There were many snake gallbladders at home. They were either used to brew medicinal wine or boiled with snake gallbladder scallop loquat ointment.

Princess Hui An looked around. “I think there’s a child’s voice. Is it Sixth

Brother? That’s not right.”

The Sixth Prince was ten years old. It was impossible for him to have such a childish voice.

Princess Jingning instructed Taozhi, “Go take a look.”

The palace maid wanted to shake off Xiaohu, but she couldn’t. She stopped, turned around, and walked towards Xiaohu resentfully…

After the Empress Dowager and Sikong Yun realized that Xiaohu was missing, they immediately found an excuse to leave.

Emperor Jing Xuan felt that something was wrong with the two of them, but no matter how suspicious he was, he could not suspect that a living person had been spirited away.

“Your Majesty.” Eunuch Fu served a cup of tea.

Emperor Jing Xuan asked suspiciously, “Do you think Mother and Sikong Yun

are acting strange today?”

“Well…” Eunuch Fu smiled. “I’m stupid and don’t feel anything abnormal.”

“As for me…” Eunuch Quan was about to speak when Eunuch Fu blocked in front of him and handed Emperor Jing Xuan a pill.” It’s a new pill sent by the Imperial Astronomy Center. Does Your Majesty want to take it? ”

Eunuch Quan was furious!

Emperor Jing Xuan swallowed the pill.

Eunuch Fu said, “Your Majesty, shall I deliver the food?”

Emperor Jing Xuan sighed. “I don’t have an appetite. I’ll take a walk in the imperial garden.”

“Yes.”

Eunuch Fu brought a cloak and put it on Emperor Jing Xuan.

Eunuch Quan was about to follow when the two young eunuchs behind Eunuch Fu squeezed him behind.

Just now, Eunuch Quan had tried his best to be in the limelight in front of Emperor Jing Xuan. This was a big taboo for Eunuch Fu. It was not necessarily true that Eunuch Fu was kind. Could he climb to the position of the chief of the Imperial Palace without some dirty tricks?

Eunuch Quan was furious. When Emperor Jing Xuan and Eunuch Fu went out, he hurriedly chased after them. However, when he crossed the threshold, he was tripped by a young eunuch and fell to the ground!

Emperor Jing Xuan walked into the imperial garden from another direction.

He had just arrived when he heard a child’s voice.

He walked forward and saw a palace maid foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground. Beside her squatted a baby.

Xiaohu said, “Are you swollen? Wake up!”

It turned out that when the palace maid planned to catch Xiaohu, the snake poison in her body acted up and she fell to the ground.

Xiaohu didn’t understand. He thought she was sick and wanted to wake her up.

There were many people in the palace, but not many children. Could it be someone’s family?

Emperor Jing Xuan walked over suspiciously.

Xiaohu saw the shadow on the ground. He grabbed the little snake and stood up, turning to look at Emperor Jing Xuan.

Emperor Jing Xuan suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.

“Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty!”

It was Eunuch Fu and Taozhi, who had rushed over to investigate.

Taozhi went forward to report. “Princess, His Majesty fainted!”

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at the many faces above his head in a daze. Some were Jingning’s, some were Hui An’s, and some were that child’s…

“Royal father!”

“Royal father!”

Xiaohu tilted his head. “What is Loyal Farmer ?”

The voices in Emperor Jing Xuan’s ears gradually disappeared. The world seemed to have fallen silent. He saw everyone calling him anxiously. The children looked at him curiously, as if they had called him something…

Emperor Jing Xuan did not faint for long.

When the Empress Dowager and Sikong Yun arrived after hearing the news, he had already woken up.

This time, strictly speaking, it was only a short dizziness and he did not completely lose consciousness.

Beside him stood Princess Jingning, Princess Hui An, and a strong-looking child.

The thing they were most afraid of happened in the end. Emperor Jing Xuan saw Xiaohu.

Xiaohu looked so similar to the former King Nanyang. It was impossible for him not to discover anything.

“I’m guilty!”

Sikong Yun lifted the hem and knelt down. “I brought him into the palace. It has nothing to do with others!”

Emperor Jing Xuan took out a small club and used it to look at the small gong. “So it wasn’t a mistake with the pill. Someone accidentally entered the box. If he hadn’t crawled out on his own halfway and let me meet him, how long would you have planned to hide it from me!”

Sikong Yun broke out in cold sweat.

King Nanyang was Emperor Jing Xuan’s taboo. Emperor Jing Xuan was going to start a massacre.

“Ze’er, listen to Mother’s explanation…” The Empress Dowager even called him by his nickname.

Emperor Jing Xuan looked at her with hurt. “So Mother knows too? I was wondering why Mother and the Imperial Inspector were so strange today!”

Sikong Yun said, “Your Majesty, everything was my idea…”

Emperor Jing Xuan interrupted him coldly, “You still know that you’re my official! Sikong Yun, how dare you! I’ve been kept in the dark by you and didn’t know that I had a child of my flesh and blood wandering among the commoners!”

Sikong Yun kowtowed. “I’m willing to be punished… Wait.”

Flesh and blood?

What flesh and blood?

Xiaohu ran over. “Loyal Farmer, can you return the club to Xiaohu?”

The Empress Dowager was speechless.

Sikong Yun was speechless.

Not far away, Su Xiaoxiao, who had rushed to the imperial garden, staggered.

Young brat, it’s only been half a day since we last met, and you’ve already acknowledged a wild father?
