A thin middle-aged man without a beard, wearing an official hat and a green robe exclusive to eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, walked in with a cold expression.
Xiao Li didn't even look at Lee Dun. He stared straight at the young girl and walked up to her. Suddenly, he raised his arm.
"Pa!"
The crisp sound of a slap rang out.
The young girl felt a sharp pain in her cheek, and her neck couldn't help but tilt to the side. Her body staggered, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. It was obvious that the slap was extremely painful.
The young girl bit her lips. Her face was clearly in pain, but she didn't even stroke it. She raised her head and stared at Xiao Li, who was a head taller than her, with no sign of admitting defeat.
"Still stubborn? This is the first time I've seen one in the Imperial Palace."
Xiao Li stood with his hands hanging by his side. He glanced at Li Dun, who was slowly standing up, from the corner of his eyes. Immediately, he looked at the young lady with a mocking gaze and said,
"But this kind of stubbornness is courting death in the Imperial Palace.”
"This is the palace, not the outside. The palace doesn't care what you do outside, but once you enter the palace, you have to follow the palace's etiquette. This time, it's just a slap, but if you do it again, you'll be skinned.”
"Look at you. You still don't know what you did wrong?”
Xiao Li narrowed his eyes as if he was talking to a young girl, but it was more like he was talking to Li Dun.
" Remember, you shouldn't address me as Your Highness. The people who live in this palace are the royal family's scandals, and they can't be publicized. That's why the Sage hasn't conferred the title of the palace's master yet, let alone his mother. If you address me like this, something bad will happen."”
As he spoke, Xiao Li turned around and looked at Li Dun, whose gaze was gradually turning cold. He bowed slightly and immediately raised his head with a smile.
"Servant Xiao Li greets Langjun."
"His Majesty is examining the eight princes in the Dew Palace today. The sage is merciful. Although your identity is not correct, you are still related by blood. Therefore, he invited me to come and ask Langjun to go immediately.”
" Your Highness, don't go!!"
" This is definitely not His Majesty's idea," the young girl said anxiously." Someone must have wanted you to make a fool of yourself in front of His Majesty!"”
The identity of Li Dun's illegitimate son had long spread to every corner of the palace. Especially three years ago, Li Er had sent someone to conduct a school examination for the eleven-year-old Li Dun.
However, to everyone's disappointment, this illegitimate child actually failed to learn anything and was illiterate!
In the three years that he had been in the side hall, Li Er had arranged for people to teach this illegitimate child. However, the current emperor would never have expected that those who had come to teach Li Dun had all accepted bribes from others.
In name, he was here to teach, but in reality, he did not do anything.
Three years had passed in a flash, and Li Dun was still the same Li Dun. Nothing had changed.
The memories in his mind kept coming back. Li Dun was silent and felt some sympathy for the previous owner of this body.
It was no wonder that he had transmigrated here and squeezed out his soul consciousness. The previous owner of this body had probably already thought of committing suicide.
"If you keep talking, you will be punished by the court!”
Suddenly, Eunuch Xiao Li's face turned cold. He said to the girl in a cold voice,"
"This matter was decreed by a saint. You are just a servant, yet you keep spouting nonsense. Do you want to test the law by yourself and the rules of the palace? Let me tell you, even if I beat you to death here today and kill you, the Saint will only remember my meritorious deeds and not my mistakes!”
"So be it!"
The girl shouted angrily,
"But there has to be a reason for this. His Highness is His Majesty's biological son. How did you treat him? " I've been here for two years. I've seen enough of you people. How you look down on others and how you bully His Highness. Isn't it just death? At most, I'll die. I'll let His Majesty know how detestable you people are!!”
"Are you tired of living?"
The veins on Xiao Li's forehead bulged as he raised his hand at the young girl and angrily said,
"If you want to die, you don't have to go to His Majesty's place. What right do you, a servant, have to see His Majesty? I told you, you're just a little servant. It's enough for me to kill you!!”
Seeing Xiao Li's palm suddenly come down, the young girl stubbornly opened her beautiful eyes wide, not the slightest bit afraid of the strength of that slap.
Suddenly, from behind the young girl's head, a slender and fair palm reached out along her cheek and grabbed Xiao Li's palm.
A slightly hoarse and magnetic voice sounded behind the girl.
"You're right. If you kill a servant, you don't need to see His Majesty. Just like how you want to kill her, I can kill you.”
