A Little Speechless

She had just left the cave and burped in satisfaction. Then, someone stopped her from going any further.

The person who stopped her was dressed in a bright yellow robe. He exuded an aura of might without showing anger, and the majesty he gave off was extremely potent. Jun Ning felt a little breathless as she stared into his sharp eyes.

Judging by his aura, she guessed that this must be Emperor Yong Ning.

Jun Ning guessed the man's identity easily.

She did not rush forward, but waited for Emperor Yong Ning to speak.

However, after a long time, Emperor Yong Ning did not speak. He just reached out to stop her.

Jun Ning took a deep breath and looked away from Emperor Yong Ning. She turned to look at the arm that was almost as big as she was.

"Please show mercy. I'm in a hurry to go back for dinner... I'm still working."

Emperor Yong Ning did not move. He asked with a smile, "You're in a hurry to go back for dinner?" Was the burp he had just heard fake?

"Well..." Jun Ning looked up at Emperor Yong Ning and said, "I made a mistake."

"A scoundrel, hehe." Emperor Yong Ning's smile was even more frightening now. This little brat really dared to say that!

Jun Ning blamed herself for provoking him. She knew that the man's gaze was scary, and that one look was enough to make her hair stand on end. Why was he still looking at her?

She coughed and retracted her gaze. She said sullenly, "I still have chores to do. I have to rush back to wash the clothes, pour away the dirty water, and..."

She continued to list tasks that she had to complete, claiming that she did almost everything. She listed her chores as well as that of others and kept talking non-stop.

She wanted to appear busy and important.

She wanted him to quickly let him go.

Emperor Yong Ning had a headache. He massaged his forehead and stopped her. "Stop, don't say anymore."

"Oh!"

Jun Ning immediately stopped talking.

Emperor Yong Ning still did not let her go. Instead, he looked at her up and down with a strange expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking.

Jun Ning pretended that she did not know that Emperor Yong Ning was looking at her. She looked at the sun in the sky, and her gaze held a trace of anxiety.

She looked really anxious.

If Emperor Yong Ning could see that, he would let her go.

However, Emperor Yong Ning did not fall for her tricks. In Emperor Yong Ning's eyes, Jun Ning was a professional liar who never spoke the truth.

After lying to his son, Jun Yu, she was now lying to him.

Who would believe that she had so much work to do?

Hehe, Jun Yu might fall for this kid's tricks, but he would not.

He grabbed Jun Ning's arm rudely and questioned her coldly, "Little brat, tell me honestly, what are your intentions with Little Seventeen? Why are you getting close to him? Are you trying to harm him?"

"Also, why did you go to the imperial kitchen and tease the chefs? Are you taking the opportunity to poison and harm everyone in the palace? Tell me, who sent you?"

A series of questions were thrown at Jun Ning, who was a little dumbfounded and speechless.

This foolish emperor must be paranoid, right?

All she did was steal some food. Then, she saw that the crybaby was hungry, so she gave him some food. Why did this emperor say that she had ulterior motives?

Did she look like a bad person?

No way!

She thought that she looked fairly average.

Even if she did not look like a good person, he did not look like a cruel person.

The emperor's eyes were truly sharp.

Jun Ning rolled her eyes internally, then said without fear, "I don't have any bad intentions, and I don't understand what you're saying. Let... Let go of me. You're hurting me."
