"Stop pretending to be deaf and dumb, if you don’t speak, I won’t let go." Emperor Yongning’s grip tightened a bit, the threat was clear.
No wonder he’s the Emperor with the power of life and death, Jun Ning felt his heart tremble under the pressure, fearing that he might be killed in a fit of anger.
After a moment of unease, he reached his free hand towards his waist, seeming to want to take something out. But his expression was conflicted, hesitating for a long time without taking anything out, it seemed that this thing was not simple.
He was still considering whether to take it out.
"Will you speak?" Emperor Yongning’s grip tightened again.
Jun Ning felt his wrist was about to be crushed, tears were swirling in his eyes, but he refused to compromise, defiantly saying, "Will you... will you let go?"
Clearly very scared, yet his tone was still quite firm.
The threat might work on a child of his age, but he was facing Emperor Yongning.
Emperor Yongning was unmoved, "...No."
"Are you sure you won’t let go?" Jun Ning had made up his mind and took out that thing from his waist, gripping it tightly in his hand.
Emperor Yongning lifted his chin slightly, "I’m sure."
Jun Ning clenched his teeth, "Then don’t blame me for being impolite."
This sound was extremely dismissive, laced with ridicule.
But in the next moment, Emperor Yongning found no time to be dismissive or sarcastic.
Something suddenly scattered towards his face, seemingly powdery, red, accompanied by an intensely spicy smell, strongly irritating the nose and eyes.
Emperor Yongning had no time to dodge, caught off guard, he got a face full of it, couldn’t help but sneeze.
The next moment, his entire face and eyes experienced a severe burning sensation, accompanied by the taste of spicy heat.
Indescribably uncomfortable.
Emperor Yongning was completely unable to act arrogantly anymore.
Rubbing his eyes, hunched over, he shouted in distress, "Xiao Lizi, quick, quickly call the Imperial Physician, I’ve been poisoned."
Xiao Lizi had been standing right behind Emperor Yongning, how could he avoid being hurt by this too? Ridiculous! He was in a similar state to Emperor Yongning, both harmed by the stuff.
None of the people behind them escaped either, all were affected.
Some had inhaled more powder than others.
The instigator, Jun Ning, no longer showed any signs of his previous cautious fear, at this moment, he folded his arms across his chest, confidently circled them all.
They were nearly rolling on the ground from the spice, which made him unable to resist clutching his belly and laughing.
He laughed so hard his stomach hurt before he stopped.
"Let me tell you, this is not poison, you are not poisoned. This is super spicy pepper powder that was prepared especially for you, just enjoy it."
This spicy powder was taken by Jun Ning while sneaking into the Imperial Kitchen to steal chicken. It was to avoid being entangled like before, unable to shake off those nuisances. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝
Initially thought he wouldn’t need it, didn’t expect to use it so soon.
And on the Emperor, no less.
Thinking about it makes him feel thrilled.
On his way back to the Cold Palace, Jun Ning couldn’t stop laughing, wishing he could write ’Today’s young master is feeling great’ on his forehead for everyone to see.
The Cold Palace had just undergone a terrible search, returning to a state of previous neglect.
Qiong Hua was anxiously waiting, seeing Jun Ning not come back for a long time.
