Ji Youlin and the young Emperor faced each other. Ji Youlinâs eyes were so bloodshot they were almost unbearable to look at directly.
"My mother asked me who I offended. I figure, in this world, the person who most wants to capture and discipline me, aside from Your Majesty, is no one else, right? Besides, the best doctors in the world are all in the Imperial Medical Bureau at the Imperial Palace, arenât they?"
When Ji Youlin said this, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Old Six! Donât speak such nonsense!"
Without a second thought, Old Lady Ji slapped him on the head.
Is this Old Six trying to get our whole family killed? Or does he simply not want to live anymore?
"Mother! Iâm telling the truth! If you donât believe me, ask him. Hasnât he been wanting to dismember me in his heart for a long time?"
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor felt an urge to touch his nose, but as an emperor, his conduct and bearing had to be elegant.
He slowly poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Itâs true that in my heart, Iâve wanted to dismember you. However, I also cherish talent. Your craft requires both your hands and your eyes. If I truly wanted to deal with you, Iâd simply have someone cut off your legs. That way, you couldnât run away. Wouldnât that be better?"
"You... They say an Emperorâs mind has nine bends and eighteen turns. Today, Iâve truly witnessed it."
Ji Youlinâs words amused the young Emperor. However, before he could speak, Ji Youlinâs head was once again met with a slap from Old Lady Ji.
"You rascal! How dare you speak to His Majesty like that? He is the sovereign, and you are his subject! Donât you understand the saying, âIf the ruler wants a subject to die, the subject must dieâ?"
Old Lady Ji, thereâs really no need for you to say such things, is there?
"Alright, Mother! I think I roughly know whatâs wrong with Sixth Brotherâs eyes. Iâll take him out to have someone look at them. Weâll take our leave first."
Zhu Xiuxiu really couldnât hold back any longer; the problem with Sixth Brotherâs eyes had indeed surfaced.
That precious child of our family, that mouth of hers! We must find a solution!
"Who are you taking him to see? Iâll go with you!"
Hearing Zhu Xiuxiu say she was going to take Ji Youlin to see someone about his eyes, Ji Youran couldnât sit still and immediately wanted to go with them.
Zhu Xiuxiu pushed him back down. "Second Brother, you should stay here and have tea with His Majesty. I donât think you want to meet that particular person."
Ever since Ji Youran found out he was struck by lightning because Xiaosuisui had opened her Celestial Eye, he hadnât looked at her kindly even once!
"Who is it? There arenât many people I dislike that much!"
Ji Youran still wanted to go, but in the end, he was stopped by Ji Youyuan.
When Zhu Xiuxiu, dragging Ji Youlin along, found Xiaosuisui, she saw her holding Xiaobai. Xiaosuisui had two earthworms in her palm and was trying to get Xiaobai to eat them!
Xiaobai tilted his head back, his nose twitching, tears welling in the corners of his eyes.
"Xiaobai, eat up quickly! How will you grow big and strong if you donât eat meat?"
The corners of Zhu Xiuxiuâs mouth twitched, and she put a hand to her forehead. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Ji Youlin beside her say, "You silly girl! Itâs a vegetarian rabbit, yet you insist on feeding it worms. What do you think it is? A chicken?"
Upon hearing Ji Youlinâs words, Zhu Xiuxiuâs eyelid twitched instinctively.
Oh no, Old Six is done for!
Indeed, just as she had that thought, she heard Xiaosuisui say, "Xiaobai isnât vegetarian! He eats meat!"
"Are you blind? Where do you see him eating meat? Didnât you see those earthworms in your palm? You keep trying to stuff them into his mouth, and heâs about to cry!"
Ji Youlin was almost amused to death by his little niece. A cute, plump white rabbit, yet she insisted on raising it like a chicken, feeding it worms all the time. Why didnât she just raise it like a dog?
And feed it bones directly, right?
