Quick Transmigration: The Foolish Beauty Saves the World

Chapter 132 The Useless Prince's Power Seizure (10)

"Oh dear! Your Highness! What are you doing..."

Just after 1 p.m. the next day, outside the laundry department, the eunuch's shrill voice shattered the tranquility.

"Young master, look, I've found a treasure!"

The young eunuch looked at the thin child in the Third Prince's arms, his vision blurred, his chest heaved, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please put it down! How can you bear to touch this?"

As he spoke, he tried to snatch the child from Jingli's arms.

Jingli raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "What I set my sights on belongs to me. Who gave you the audacity to speak out of turn!"

Seeing that the young eunuch was about to break out in a cold sweat, Jingli picked up Yu An and ran away.

Although Yu An was small, it still took Jing Li some effort to hold him completely. In order to prevent the palace servants from taking Yu An away, Jing Li even luxuriously used a stamina recovery card on herself and stumbled all the way back to her palace with Yu An.

At this moment, Lady Langyue was enjoying tea with the other ladies, while Jingli was the only mistress in the palace.

Setting down Yu An, whose face was flushed red, Jing Li wiped his sweat and ordered the palace servants who had followed him, "Prepare hot water!"

The young eunuch hurriedly knelt down: "Your Highness, there were many people and eyes in the laundry department just now. It won't be long before word gets out that you kidnapped this servant boy. It would be fine if the Empress found out, but if..." The young eunuch nodded meaningfully, not daring to say more, "...then it could implicate you and get you punished!"

"Nonsense!" Jing Li crossed her arms and kicked Yu An: "Little brat, you tell me, were you kidnapped by me?"

Jingli's kick looked big, but it landed very lightly on Yu An. The force was just right, only making Yu An stagger, but without causing any pain.

Yu An frowned slightly, quickly knelt down, and his knees hit the smooth, clean floor with a soft "thump".

Jingli's heart clenched.

Then, Yu An's forehead hit the ground, producing another muffled thud that sent chills down one's spine.

He didn't answer Jingli's question directly, but only said, "This humble servant wouldn't dare."

He had long known that Jingli was a noblewoman in the palace, but he never expected that this guy was actually a prince.

Ignoring the magnificence of the palace, one can glean the extent of his favor simply from his arrogant and domineering demeanor.

At this point, if Yu Anruo admits that she was kidnapped by Jingli, she will definitely offend Jingli, but if she says no, the eunuch will punish her.

Yu An clenched his fists, feeling both suspicious that this was a trap set by Jing Li and resentful of his own powerlessness, like a weed.

He was still young, and as he thought about it, his eyes reddened.

He breathed heavily, kneeling on the cold floor, and felt a chill run through his body.

Today, Yu An might be going to die here. It remains to be seen whether it will be this prince who deceived him or that snobbish eunuch who ends his life.

Yu An closed his eyes, a tear fell, and he heard Jing Li's voice:

“Look, young master, I didn’t kidnap him. He said he wouldn’t dare.”

Yu An couldn't see Jing Li's expression, but judging from his voice, he felt that Jing Li must be very smug.

"This……"

Jingli deliberately went along with Yu An's words, and the young eunuch couldn't find a word to refute her for a moment.

He lightly pounded the ground and let out a long sigh.

"Your Highness—"

"I said prepare hot water! Are you all deaf?!"

The palace servants glanced at the young eunuch, then at Jingli, and finally dispersed to prepare for their departure.

Jingli glanced at the young eunuch and said lightly, "Young eunuch, you may get up too."

Then, looking down at Yu An, who was still curled up on the ground, he said as if talking to himself, "What's so special about the little rabbit of the August Goddess? I still have my little baby."

Jingli knew that it wouldn't be long before Langyue found out what he had done in the laundry department, and before that, he had to put on a good show.

The palace servants quickly brought hot water. In front of them, Jingli gave Yu An a cold look and ordered them to quickly strip off his tattered clothes and stuff him into a wooden tub without a second thought.

"Give it a good wash, and the little baby will definitely be whiter and cleaner than that little rabbit."

Jingli also took a bath. He was covered in sweat when he carried Yu An back. However, his bathtub was separated from Yu An's by a screen. His tub was larger than Yu An's and was filled with colorful flower petals, emitting a faint fragrance.

The prince's noble form is not something someone like Yu An can see.

On the other hand, the palace servants who were ordered by Jingli to clean up Yu An's mess showed no mercy, as if Yu An were just an object.

Yu An had extremely pale skin and was so thin that he was skin and bones. His pale skin, which accentuated the outline of his bones, was covered with new and old scars.

With a little force, the palace maid covered the old, already purplish wound with new red marks, a shocking sight.

Yu An bit her lip hard, but even so, she still let out a soft groan or two from the pain.

Jingli had been listening intently to the sounds coming from that direction. When she heard Yu An cry out in pain, her brows twitched, and she threw a ladle of water hard in the direction of the palace servant.

"Be gentle! This is my treasure! If you break it, I'll chop off your hands!"

After Jingli finished speaking, she angrily sat back down in the bathtub.

Fortunately, his words had a deterrent effect, and the palace servant, whose side was half wet, became much gentler, and the sound of water from Yu An's side also subsided.

Jingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

[Keiri: This is terrifying, my legs are going weak...]

The voice of the man from the palace was very loud, and the child's voice was also very penetrating; even 6058 in the courtyard heard the noise.

[6058: Wasn't this the time when we were about to chop off someone's hand?]

[Keiri: (?????? )?]

[Keiri: I can only say that I can't bring myself to do it.]

[Keiri: If I hadn't been speaking so loudly, they would have noticed my voice was trembling.]

[Jingli: Feudalism is harmful!]

This was the first time Jingli had expressed her feelings so excitedly within the system, indicating that the amplification of emotions in this world was not limited to negative emotions.

6058 thinks it's cute.

[6058: On the other hand, what if he holds a grudge against you for treating him like this?]

Jingli dangled her little feet in the water.

[Keiri: To be honest, I don't know either.]

[Keiri: But if we don't do this and let him continue growing up among slaves, things could get even worse.]

Jingli said to 6058 seriously:

I have some ideas, even though they involve some risk.

However, judging from each of the previous worlds, Mr. Yuan is not a fool.

He might hold a grudge against me now, but as I said before, he can't hurt me. Before he matures, I'll try my best to make him understand that we're on the same page.

6058 paused briefly.

[6058: What if, I mean, what if.]

[6058: If, in the end, you find yourselves on opposite sides due to unforeseen circumstances, have you considered what to do?]

Jingli closed her eyes and submerged half of her face in the water.

If the palace servants were to look up even slightly, they would notice a sorrow on the Third Prince's youthful face that seemed incongruous with his age.

If what 6058 said is true, then it would be a major event that would lead to a change of dynasty in a country.

The blood, tears, and sacrifices involved are not what Jingli wanted to see.

[Keiri: If it ultimately comes to this, there's nothing we can do to change it...]

[Keiri: Well—I hope everything gets back on track.]
