AMLFS Chapter 4

Chapter 4: The Prince Canes Palace Staff, Protects His Husband With Domineering Aura

He strode quickly to Song Huaixi.

Zhao Fangye snatched the teacup from his hand, throwing it aside, and pulled him behind himself.

The exquisite cloisonné enamel teacup crashed to the ground, instantly shattering into pieces, and the scalding tea splashed everywhere with the fragments.

“Ah!”

Noble Consort Xiao, who was closest to the teacup, cried out in alarm. She quickly reached out to block, but it was too late.

Several small cuts were immediately made on the back of her delicate and fair hand by the flying shards.

“Impudence!”

Clutching her bleeding hand, Noble Consort Xiao angrily pointed at him, “You dare to barge into the Zhiro Palace and show such disrespect to me!”

Zhao Fangye didn’t even glance at her. He turned around, took Song Huaixi’s hand, and examined it carefully.

Song Huaixi’s fingers and palms were burned red in a large area. He looked at him with a grievance.

Glistening teardrops hung at the corners of his eyes, about to fall.

As soon as Zhao Fangye arrived, it was as if he had found a backer. He stretched out his hand pitifully and complained to him.

“They made me kneel for a long time and scalded me with tea.”

Seeing him accusing them in such a pitiful manner, Zhao Fangye’s already cold and stern expression darkened even more.

It wasn’t enough to disgust him; now they had to involve innocent people.

Song Huaixi’s voice was clear and bright, reaching the ears of everyone in the hall.

The palace servants didn’t expect him to dare to say it so openly.

“What nonsense are you talking about! Shut your mouth!”

The nanny beside Noble Consort Xiao immediately stepped forward to scold him, “Don’t throw dirty water on our Noble Consort.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Zhao Fangye heard her words and walked step by step to the nanny.

The nanny was intimidated by the ruthlessness in his eyes, and her whole body trembled.

The next second, Zhao Fangye kicked her in the stomach.

She flew straight out and stopped only when she crashed into the curio shelf in the corner.

Zhao Fangye retracted his foot, looking at the mess in the corner, a look of disgust on his face, “What are you? How dare you point fingers at my man.”

For a moment, the people in the hall were filled with shock and fear.

Song Huaixi was also startled, but he thought Zhao Fangye looked so majestic when he was venting his anger for him!

Noble Consort Xiao stared at the person on the ground, stunned for a long time before regaining her voice.

“Zhao Fangye, you’re being presumptuous! You dare… you dare to hurt someone in my palace!”

Zhao Fangye turned to look at her, his pale eyes filled with coldness.

“You’re just a consort, what qualifications do you have to make my Prince consort kowtow to you?”

Zhao Fangye approached her step by step, looking down at her with a sneer: “Noble Consort Xiao, you’re the one being presumptuous, aren’t you?”

Noble Consort Xiao was intimidated by him, and collapsed to the ground, unwilling to admit defeat.

“I hold the Phoenix Seal and manage the harem. In terms of reason and etiquette, he should pay his respects to me. But you barged into the Zhiro Palace without an imperial decree. Aren’t you afraid that His Majesty will punish you?”

“Heh!” Zhao Fangye sneered and said no more, “You can try.”

After saying that, he looked around at the crowd in the hall, his voice devoid of warmth: “Today, all the palace servants who humiliated the Prince consort will be caned to death.”

“Men, drag these maids down.” Zhao Fangye coldly ordered.

The guards walked in neatly andBetdown everyone in the hall. For a time, all the palace servants began to howl heartrendingly.

“Your Highness, spare me!…”

“Noble Consort, save me…”

Seeing her palace servants being taken away, Noble Consort Xiao’s beautiful face twisted.

She threatened the guards in a sharp voice: “How dare you! If you dare to touch my people, I will immediately chop off your heads!”

The guards below grabbed the people and were in a dilemma, looking at the two above, at a loss for what to do.

“Why aren’t you taking them away? Are you waiting for me to do it myself?” Zhao Fangye looked at the leader with a nonchalant tone.

The leading guard shuddered and immediately led the people out.

Compared to Noble Consort Xiao, Zhao Fangye was much more terrifying to them.

Noble Consort Xiao watched helplessly as people were taken away, and her whole body trembled with anger.

She originally wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate him, but she didn’t expect Zhao Fangye to be so presumptuous!

Unfortunately, the Empress’s father, Chancellor Wang, had influence throughout the court, and even the emperor was wary of him. She couldn’t do anything about Zhao Fangye.

Song Huaixi looked at the people being taken away from beside him. Without exception, everyone’s face was filled with despair and fear.

Startled by their gazes, Song Huaixi thought: How terrifying.

Subconsciously, he ran towards Zhao Fangye.

Hiding behind him, grabbing his sleeve, Song Huaixi asked him, “When are we going back?”

This place was too scary, and he wanted to go back.

“No hurry.” Zhao Fangye took his hand and sat down on the chair, looking down at the redness on his hand, a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes: “Does it still hurt?”

“Not as much as it did just now.”

Being comforted, Song Huaixi’s heart warmed, and his hand playfully moved in his palm.

As a result, a sharp pain immediately came from his fingertips, causing him to frown.

At this moment, a shrill cry came from outside the hall, and Song Huaixi was startled, clutching Zhao Fangye’s hand tightly.

“It’s nothing. Don’t be afraid.” Zhao Fangye comforted him gently.

Turning his head, his voice was like being filled with ice: “Drag them further away! Don’t defile the Prince consort’s ears.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

The guards immediately stuffed cloths into the mouths of the palace servants being caned and dragged them far away.

Noble Consort Xiao looked at them and suddenly said with a mocking tone, “It seems that Prince Ning is very satisfied with this Prince consort. I have a good eye.”

Zhao Fangye’s expression moved slightly. He had been wondering what madness the emperor was up to.

So it was this woman’s doing.

“I am endlessly grateful to the Noble Consort for being so concerned about me. Consider today a thank you gift from me.”

Saying that, Zhao Fangye took Song Huaixi’s hand and got up: “Noble Consort, please enjoy the show. I won’t keep you company.”

After the two left, Noble Consort Xiao smashed the ornaments around her to pieces.

“Zhao Fangye! Don’t think you can continue to be arrogant. Don’t even think about competing with Jingshuo for the throne!”

Song Huaixi held Zhao Fangye’s hand and walked on the palace road. Thinking of what had just happened, he still felt frightened.

“This place is so scary, I don’t want to come here again,” he said to Zhao Fangye.

Hearing his words, the corners of Zhao Fangye’s lips slightly curled: “Didn’t you just say you liked it very much, that it was very beautiful?”

“I regret it, this place is not good at all. The people here are so bad.”

Song Huaixi had never suffered any grievances. Today was his most aggrieved day. He didn’t have a good impression of the Imperial Palace.

After a while, he said again: “Not everyone is bad, the Empress is very nice.”

Zhao Fangye paused slightly, turning his head to look at him with a complicated expression: “Have you seen her?”

Earlier, when he went to the Kun Ning Palace to find Song Huaixi, the Kun Ning Palace was clearly tightly closed.

“I didn’t see her, but a nanny in Taoist robes inside gave me this.”

Song Huaixi took off the sandalwood bracelet he was wearing on his hand and handed it to him to see.

Zhao Fangye recognized that it was something his mother often held in her hand. He didn’t expect she would give it to Song Huaixi.

“It seems that she likes you very much. She has never given me anything.”

Zhao Fangye glanced at the bracelet and said in a lonely tone, turning his head: “Since she gave it to you, you should keep it.”

Holding the bracelet, Song Huaixi noticed the loss in his tone.

He thought for a while and handed the bracelet to him again.

“What are you doing?” Zhao Fangye glanced at him with a faint tone.

“For you.”

Song Huaixi held up the bracelet, sending it to him, his tone sincere: “Now you also have something the Empress gave you.”

Song Huaixi looked up at him with a clean white face, his dark eyes earnestly gazing at him.

The crown on his head was askew, and he looked pure and naive.

A look of emotion flashed across his pale eyes. Was the little fool comforting him?

Immediately, Zhao Fangye shook his head. What would a fool know?

“It’s for you, keep it yourself.” Zhao Fangye walked past him.

Seeing that he didn’t want it, Song Huaixi chased after him relentlessly, “Mine is yours! For you!”

Hearing this, Zhao Fangye ignored him, his slender legs striding far away in one step.

Song Huaixi held onto his crown and chased after him. His knees, which were aching from kneeling just now, throbbed with movement.

He also forgot about the idea of giving away the bracelet, panting and shouting at Zhao Fangye’s back.

“Hey, walk slower. My knees hurt, and my head hurts too.”

Zhao Fangye stopped and waited for him ahead. After he approached,

He reached out to take off his crown and was about to throw it on the ground.

Noticing his movements, Song Huaixi quickly stepped forward and hugged the crown in his arms.

Looking at the sparkling jewels on it, he touched it and said, “Oh! Don’t throw it away. It’s very expensive and so beautiful.”

“As you wish.” No longer paying attention to him, Zhao Fangye continued to walk forward, but his pace slowed down a lot.

After all, from the beginning, Song Huaixi was dragged into this feud by himself.

Song Huaixi hugged the crown in his arms and walked slowly, holding up his skirt.

Zhao Fangye was a little impatient. At this rate, how long would it take to leave the palace?

Noticing that he was unhappy, Song Huaixi pitifully said, “My knees hurt. It wasn’t intentional.”

Zhao Fangye stared at him. After a long time, he said softly, “I know.”

Then, Song Huaixi saw him squat down in front of him: “Get on.”
