Chapter 17 - Harassment

Duanmu Yan struggled with all her might, attempting to struggle free from his restraints. "Big scoundrel! "Let go of me now, or I'll order people to spank you, you villain …"

's face became darker and darker following her outrageous call. Everywhere she went, everyone broke out in cold sweat because of their foolish Emperor.

Fifteen minutes later …

Gong Shengrui stopped and looked outside the cold palace: "Open the door!"

"Yes sir!" The guards did not dare to delay any further and hurriedly opened the door to the cold palace that had been abandoned for many years.

Even though Duanmu Yan's brain could not be considered as bright, at the same time, he was still able to see through his intentions. She was so scared that her shoulders started shaking like autumn leaves: "We, We warn you, do not act recklessly, or else, or else …"

"Or what?" Gong Shengrui smirked, loosened his fingers, and threw her inside the door.

"Wu ~" Duanmu Yan's face flushed red from the pain, she had been trying hard to hold back her tears for a while now, as they slid down the corners of her eyes, "~ Big Scoundrel! "You are bullying me!"

Gong Shengrui scoffed coldly, his stone-like heart forcing open his eyes: "Close the door, without I's order, no one is allowed to let her out!"

The two guards looked at each other and answered cowardly, "... "Yes!"

"You haven't eaten breakfast? "Hmm?" Gong Shengrui's eyelids narrowed dangerously.

The two guards quivered and replied in unison with a loud voice: "Yes!"

Gong Shengrui's gloomy and cold face, seemed to have slightly improved. He turned around and went back the way he came.

Duanmu Yan's pupils became big, she anxiously climbed up, wanting to escape the cold palace.

The guard extended a hand and blocked her way: "Emperor! Please don't make things difficult for our subordinates! "

"I don't want to stay in the cold palace, I don't want to ~ purr ~"

The guard was at a loss on what to do as he cried. He subconsciously looked in the direction Gong Shengrui had left: "Emperor! This is Prince Regent's wish! "

The meaning in his words was, if you want to think of a cold palace, then you better beg Prince Regent!

Duanmu Yan was startled, and unwillingly shouted towards Gong Shengrui's back: "Scoundrel! "I know I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore ~ Wuu ~ Big scoundrel, let me out ~ Wuuu ~"

"Too late!" At the same time, Gong Shengrui disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Wuwuwu ~ I won't stay in the Cold Palace ~ I won't stay in the Cold Palace ~ Wuwuwu ~"

"My Lord!" Chen Xi and the others have already knelt outside for more than four hours! " In the end, Feng Ji couldn't bear it anymore and braced himself to speak.

Gong Shengrui glanced at him indifferently: You want to plead on her behalf?

"Eh ~" Feng Ji only felt a wave of cold wind blow past the back of his neck, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body.

"Go and tell them that kneeling until tomorrow morning is useless!" With that said, Gong Shengrui changed the imperial report and continued to read.

Feng Ji opened his mouth, as though he wanted to say something, but the words did not come out.

Sighing silently, he turned around and walked out of the royal study.

"Master Feng! How about it? What did Prince Regent say? " Chen Xi asked anxiously, looking at Feng Ji with disdain.

Feng Ji shook his head: "You can all go back, kneeling here is useless!"

A hint of disappointment flashed past Chen Xi's eyes, and she stubbornly said: "This servant is not leaving, this servant will be kneeling here until Prince Regent releases Emperor!"

"If I were you, I wouldn't be here blocking Prince Regent's view; instead, I would be returning to my bedroom, preparing hot water and food for his."

Chen Xi knew what he said was reasonable, but how could she be at ease when she saw her master spending the night in the cold palace alone.
