A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 89: Lonely Person

"Someone by His Majesty’s side?"

Old Madam Ji frowned.

"Yes, they were with His Majesty just now. I’m sure of it."

Old Madam Ji turned to look at Ji Youzhi.

Ji Youzhi understood. "Everyone stay put. I’ll handle this!" Then, he went out.

The secret guards outside saw Ji Youzhi and quickly clasped their hands in a salute. "Lord God Hunter, His Majesty summons you!"

Ji Youzhi nodded, his expression instantly becoming impassive. He asked in a low voice, "Where is His Majesty now? Is he in his room?"

"He’s in the mansion behind the inn."

The Emperor, accustomed to living in grand palaces since childhood, found it difficult to adjust to a small inn.

So, at noon, he had his men purchase the mansion behind the inn. The young Emperor was generous, and his subordinates were capable; one look at them and people knew they weren’t to be trifled with.

Thus, the homeowner took the money and promptly and smoothly departed with his family.

When Ji Youzhi arrived at the rear mansion, he saw the Emperor sitting and enjoying the cool air under a large willow tree by the Lotus Pond. He immediately knelt to pay his respects.

The young Emperor leisurely popped a grape into his mouth, his eyes glancing sideways at Ji Youzhi. He didn’t ask him to rise.

The young Emperor is feeling quite stifled and furious today, Ji Youzhi sensed.

The young Emperor was indeed stifled and furious. He was probably the first emperor in history to be thrown down the stairs by a small child!

At first, he suspected there was something unusual about the child. But when she ran into Second Master Ji’s room, the young Emperor’s wits finally returned.

He recalled the elderly woman holding the little bundle, and then thought of the Ji Family members also staying here. Suddenly, he understood. The Ji Family already has so many monstrously talented sons; it’s not strange for an even more monstrously talented little bundle to appear now.

Ji Youzhi knelt on the ground. The sun blazed overhead, and sweat dripped from his forehead.

After a long moment, the young Emperor finally spoke, his voice unhurried, "How come We’ve never heard you mention your family has such a remarkable little child?"

Ji Youzhi’s heart pounded in alarm. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you mean."

"Truly don’t understand?"

The young Emperor popped another grape into his mouth.

Ji Youzhi remained silent. Beads of sweat from his forehead dripped onto the cobblestones with a PLOP.

"You..."

Seeing Ji Youzhi’s impassive demeanor, the young Emperor knew his temperament. If he wants to protect them, then let him!

To sit on the throne is to be destined for solitude. For all these years, Youzhi’s companionship had made him feel that he was not, in fact, entirely alone.

Every time the young man before him returned from his trips outside, he would bring back some novel trinkets from beyond the Palace walls.

He would tell him about the customs and conditions of the lands outside. He would even investigate on his behalf whether the officials out there were truly serving the country and working for the welfare of the common people.

"Rise!"

Recalling the bond of their brotherhood, the young Emperor ultimately decided not to let Ji Youzhi kneel to the point of heatstroke.

However, Ji Youzhi did not rise. He kept his head lowered, as if he hadn’t heard the young Emperor’s command.

"You... you want to kneel, is that it? Fine! Then keep kneeling! We grant you permission!"

Seeing Ji Youzhi’s persistence, the young Emperor stomped his foot in frustration and roared to the empty air, "Someone go and fetch Old Madam Ji and their family’s little bundle!"

The shadows under a nearby tree flickered, and someone departed at once.

Ji Youzhi, greatly alarmed, immediately kowtowed. "Your Majesty!"

"You want to kneel? Then continue kneeling!"

"Your Majesty, please quell your anger!" Ji Youzhi kowtowed forcefully, his forehead striking the ground.

"Quell Our anger? We will not!" the Emperor shouted back at him, his voice loud.

Furious, he rose from his chair, picked up the fish food, and went to feed the fish.
