He had just spoken when the little prince dashed out of the palace like a gust of wind.
The eunuch felt weak in his knees from fright. "Your Highness, you cant go outside!"
Thankfully, before the little prince had gotten far, two guards had blocked his way.
"Your Highness, its dangerous outside. You cant go out there."
"Get lost!" The little fattys excessive fat was shaking as he kicked the guard. "Get lost immediately, or Ill get Mother to cripple you!"
The guard winced but dared not make a sound. "We have received orders from the emperor not to let you leave."
"You" The little fattys eyes widened as he glared at them furiously.
"The nerve of you!" A cold voice barked not too far away, sounding menacing. "Who has allowed you to block my ninth brothers way?"
When the little prince lifted his head, he saw an elegantly dressed young man slowly walking over. The little prince snorted and turned away, unwilling to look at him.
"Ninth Brother, I was just joking with you back then. Why did you go to the spirit beast forest?" The young man was smiling brightly. "You ended up making Father and Mother worry a lot."
Qi Yue pouted, clearly reluctant to speak to this young man.
The young man raised his head to look at the guards blocking the way. "My ninth brother is a natural-born coward. Did you think he would go to the city gate? Father is personally there at the city gates to stop the intruders so those people wouldnt be able to enter. My brother is just feeling playful and wants to leave the palace when Fathers not here."
Qi Yue kept quiet and pursed his lips, not daring to say a word.
The guards exchanged glances, feeling hesitant.
The young man continued, "Forget it. Ill take my ninth brother out personally. If Father asks about this, you can use this as an explanation. If you continue to stop ninth brother, dont say I didnt remind you that youll both be tortured to the point where you wish you were dead with his temper."
