Chapter 190: Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire, Fire! (1 / 2)
I’m sorry for missing today’s updates as my laptop broke last night. I managed to arrange a temporary system today after work. I’ll be updating today’s chapters now and will continue with the temporary system until my laptop is fixed. Thank you for your patience and understanding! 🙏After the court session, the old emperor led a group of senior ministers to visit Xu Yanmiao.
The moment the door opened, the old emperor almost cursed aloud.
Fool! Scoundrel! Worthless as a dog! How could I have fathered such a wretched offspring?!
Before him, even the once-lustrous fur of the little Bai Ze seemed to have lost its shine. Xu Yanmiao appeared listless, barely managing to summon the energy to speak, “Why has Your Majesty come here with the ministers?”
The old emperor immediately felt that the punishment he had given to Prince Fu was far too lenient.
Softening his tone, as if afraid of startling Xu Yanmiao, he said, “We’ve always seen you as strong and lively, bouncing around with energy. But today, you’ve taken the rare step of requesting leave, and we’ve heard rumors that you were frightened and even vomited several times. So, we came to check on you. Don’t stand at the door—go back to bed. After court, there’s no need to adhere to strict formalities.”
Xu Yanmiao felt a warmth in his heart. Once he lay back in bed, a hand stretched out from under the blanket, giving the emperor an opportunity to express his care and concern.
