Jun Ning could only see the little boy’s face clearly when she got closer. He was fair and very cute. With his silly little expression, he looked even more adorable.
She really wanted to pinch him.
She just did not know who could bear to bully such a cute little guy.
The little boy looked at the chicken leg that she was holding out and licked his lips. However, after a long while, Jun Ning’s arm started to become sore. He still had not taken it from her.
He clearly wanted to eat it, but he was not taking it from her. Why?
Clearly, he was afraid it had been poisoned.
At the thought of this, Jun Ning did not take offense. Instead, she took a bite and said, “Don’t worry, it’s not poisonous!”
The little boy took the chicken drumstick from Jun Ning and called Jun Ning “boss” while sobbing. Then, he gobbled it up.
He did not mind at all that Jun Ning had bitten the chicken leg. He gnawed on it in big bites, and his lips were shiny with grease. He was obviously famished.
All of a sudden, Jun Ning realized that tears were still streaming down his face.
She thought that she had gone too far and that was why he was crying. She quickly said, “It’s fine if you don’t want to call me boss. You can call me by my name. Don’t cry!”
Jun Ning thought that the little guy would stop crying after that. To her surprise, he continued to cry. He was crying even harder now.
Jun Ning did not know why, but the louder the boy cried, the more uncomfortable she felt.
It seemed that she really did not want to see this little brat cry.
“Don’t cry.” Jun Ning hurriedly reached out to wipe the boy’s tears away. She raised three fingers in a show of sincerity and said, “I was wrong just now. I swear I will never bully you again. I…”
“Boss, you… You didn’t bully me…” The boy was choked up. “I’m just a little touched. In this palace, if my mother wants to starve me, no one would have the guts to feed me. You are the first one who dared to go against her. ”
“Mother?”
“You’re hungry?”
Jun Ning was sharp enough to notice the key bit of information in the little brat’s words.
“Yes, the empress is my mother. I am the seventeenth prince, Jun Yu. Mother is extremely strict with me. If I don’t finish the homework that the grand tutor assigns me, she will punish me by starving me for the entire day…”
“You can’t eat if you can’t recite anything? Wow, so ruthless. This is your biological mother? Come here and look for me if you run out of food in the future. I’ll take care of you!” Jun Ning retorted. She then gave the little guy another chicken leg.
When Jun Ning said this, she did not think about the fact that her situation was no better than Jun Yu’s.
However, she had gone hungry before and she knew how terrible it felt. She wanted to help Jun Yu.
Jun Yu was touched. “Boss, you’re such a nice person. I’ll follow you from now on!”
…
Meanwhile, after Xiao Lizi finished explaining things to the Golden Guards, he came back and personally brought over the medicinal soup that Emperor Yong Ning had recently been drinking.
“Your Majesty, it’s time to drink your medicine!”
Emperor Yong Ning put down the red pen he was holding, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, “My sickness will remain as long as the princess remains missing. No medicine will be of any use!”
He was heart sick.
A broken heart can only be alleviated when the burden is lifted.
“But…” Xiao Lizi tried to persuade him, but Emperor Yong Ning interrupted him. “Walk with me to the imperial garden. For some reason, I really want to go for a walk in the imperial garden.”
After saying that, Emperor Yong Ning left.
Xiao Lizi hurriedly picked up Emperor Yong Ning’s cloak and followed him.
Surrounded by a group of people, Emperor Yong Ning approached the imperial garden.
