I dare not, I dare not.
Chu Xi nodded, “You’ve already paid me great respect, so I should be allowed to see the Imperial Consort, right?”
“This… Princess Your Highness, it would be better for you to stay away. This contagious disease is particularly severe!” Fang Shiming, who was kneeling before Chu Xi, kindly warned her.
With such a noble identity as Chu Xi’s, if she were to contract this illness, then they at the Imperial Medical Academy would truly be doomed.
Zhuo Junli, following Fang Shiming, said, “Your Highness, with your noble status, it is important to take care of your phoenix body. If you were to catch the disease…”
“Step aside, I want to see.”
Chu Xi remained calm and composed, her childish face adorably melting hearts, yet it was her deep eyes that bore the shadow of Chu Yifeng, demanding respect and even instilling some fear.
Zhuo Junli and Fang Shiming exchanged glances, both making way while kneeling, with Fang Shiming gently lifting the yellow cloth and softly cautioning Chu Xi, “Princess, wear a mask, and you must stay back. Even coming into contact with the Imperial Consort’s breath could lead to infection.”
That is why they were fully equipped, wearing masks where necessary and tightly wrapped in white protective suits, securely worn.
The two palace attendants carrying the stretcher were bundled up as thick as bears, for fear of contracting the disease.
Chu Xi put on her mask, yet there was no ripple in her glass-like eyes. She saw Leng Shuqing revealing half of her face, covered with swollen red pox. Some areas were even broken and oozing with yellow pus that turned the stomach.
Leng Shuqing’s voice was strained, her eyes painfully shut.
Although Chu Jinling and the others knew that this was Leng Shuqing’s method for slipping away in disguise, the sight of her still involuntarily revolted them.
Perhaps because everyone was unguarded, or maybe it was the moonlight, pale as silver light, that obscured the fleeting coldness in Chu Xi’s eyes. Her small hand produced a dagger, and the moment she plunged it into Leng Shuqing’s belly, everyone was caught off guard.
Only Leng Shuqing’s scream: “Ah!”
“Pup!”
Followed then by the sound of blood splattering.
“Princess!”
“Princess Your Highness!?”
Zhuo Junli quickly stepped forward, pulled out the dagger, and pushed Chu Xi away.
Chu Xi picked up the dagger and was about to stab a second time but was stopped by someone!
“Princess Your Highness, what are you doing? This shouldn’t be done! This is the Noble Consort!”
Fang Shiming was horrified; he could never have imagined that Chu Xi, such a young child, could be so cruel. The ferocity of her attack… was truly shocking!
She was still a child, after all!
“Is the Noble Consort greater than the Princess?”
Chu Xi held the small dagger, nonchalantly wiping the bloodstain from her cheek.
She looked down at the dagger, tailor-made for her by her Daddy for protection, and having watched many medical texts with her Mother, knew that if the blade only penetrated just over an inch into the human body, it wouldn’t kill Leng Shuqing.
Unfortunately, her second strike was too late.
While Fang Shiming and Zhuo Junli were busy trying to save Leng Shuqing’s life, it was Chu Jinling who stroked his chin and answered Chu Xi, “Actually, the status of an Imperial Consort is not as noble as that of a legitimate princess.”
To be serious, even if Chu Xi had stabbed Leng Shuqing, Leng Shuqing could not stab back, for that would be against etiquette.
A trace of blood passed through Zhuo Junli’s eyes as his gaze fell on Chu Xi.
Chu Xi lifted her chin slightly, facing the Prime Minister, the head of the civil officials. Even if he had scared her, she did not show her fear, still speaking in a tender and crisp voice, “My Daddy is Chu Yifeng.”
Zhuo Junli laughed, but it was a bitter laugh.
He thought, if Chu Xi were to become even more arrogant, her next words should probably be, “What can you do to me?”
He dared not delay any longer, grabbing Fang Shiming to help treat Leng Shuqing, and hurriedly had her carried away.
A little later, and the child might have taken Leng Shuqing’s life.
Chu Xi turned around and asked Mo Qi for a clean handkerchief. “I need to wipe the knife clean.”
Mo Qi immediately wiped it clean for her, still with a lingering fear, he admonished, “Princess, please do not act rashly next time. I can take care of such tasks in your stead.”
“This is something you cannot take care of for me.”
Chu Xi smacked her lips; if these adults were able to act, she wouldn’t have had the chance to do so.
But having watched for quite some time, none of them moved an inch, which left her no choice but to do it herself.
She looked at the person curled up in the corner, who had nearly knocked over her brother, and said, “She deserves to die too.”
Chu Jinling followed her gaze to see she was referring to Yu Lu.
Yu Lu shivered even more violently, and liquid continuously spilled from beneath her.
This time, Chu Jinling could fulfill the task. He used the Youming Knife to sever Yu Lu’s head and then directly boxed it to send to the Prime Minister’s Estate.
As for what mood the Prime Minister’s Estate received this head with, he did not care.
But tonight, he would have to thoroughly contemplate in the imperial study about how to handle the affairs of the royal court, after Zhuo Junli leaves Jiang Du City.
Lin Sisi cleaned the Youming Knife and sat at the small table by the imperial table, applying the scented paste Noble Consort Xiao had given her, and said in a gentle voice, “Jinling, don’t be afraid. I’m here with you!”
Chu Jinling looked at her, his eyes curving into a smile.
Mo Qi escorted Chu Xi back to Fengyi Palace—Chu Heng and Shan Bao had already gone to sleep. After taking her bath, Chu Xi removed her shoes and climbed into bed. She intended to lie down next to Chu Heng, but he suddenly made a funny face at her, “Na-na-na! Sister Xi, I’m not asleep! Hahaha!”
He thought to scare Chu Xi with his grimace, but all she felt was that her brother was becoming more simple and lovable.
Chu Xi’s delicate little hand patted his head, “Be good, Sister’s back now. Let’s sleep together.”
“Okay!”
Chu Heng turned to push Shan Bao. “Shan Bao, make some space; Sister is sleeping with us.”
“Ow!”
Shan Bao, roused from sleep and quite displeased, raised his paws, but then put them down, appearing to willingly let Chu Heng lay on its belly and use it as a pillow.
Since Chu Xi had the same scent as Chu Heng, it too ceased its resistance.
But Chu Xi didn’t rest on it, only lying down next to Chu Heng.
Chu Heng’s nose was actually incredibly sensitive; he could smell the scent of blood on Chu Xi.
He cupped his little face and spoke softly, “Sister Xi, did you get scared going out with Uncle Mo Qi tonight?”
He remembered feeling uncomfortable and nauseous when he smelled blood.
Chu Xi, with her eyes closed, still sought out his head and gave it a rub, “No, sleep now, Heng’er. Your sister will protect you.”
Chu Heng: “…”
Though he felt warmed by her gesture, he also didn’t quite understand.
Chu Xi held his little hand, their hands tightly clasped together. During the night, Chu Xi’s eyes were exceptionally bright, shining like luminous pearls, casting a lustrous glow, “Since you are so adorable, Heng’er, stay adorable forever.”
She wished to possess a potent ability like Daddy.
Today in the palace, she had invoked her father’s name all along the way, and everyone was awed by it. That feeling…
She enjoyed it too much.
