Chapter 24 - Scalp Anesthesia

Duanmu Yan's scalp went numb, and she muttered innocently: "We didn't do anything!"

Gong Shengrui let out a silent sigh, as his eyes turned towards the two elders: "Send someone to deliver the book she wants to read to the royal study!"

"Yes sir!" The two old men answered and slowly left the royal study room.

Duanmu Yan bit her finger tip, and quietly moved towards the door.

"Halt!" When she stepped out of the hall, Gong Shengrui suddenly spoke.

Duanmu Yan's face froze as she timidly declared, "They're leaving!"

"But I did not say that you can leave!"

"…" Duanmu Yan.

"Come here!" Gong Shengrui ordered.

Duanmu Yan looked at Chen Xi who was outside the door. Seeing her nod her head, she could only shake his head and walk into the royal study.

"Sit on this side!" Gong Shengrui patted the place where she had previously grinded.

"Oh!" Duanmu Yan slapped her cheeks that were like crystal buns and moved to Gong Shengrui's side with a tortoise's speed.

Gong Shengrui bent his waist, rummaged through the book for a while, and then threw a book of poems in front of Duanmu Yan: "Before lunch time, memorize the first ten pages well, then write it silently; if you don't know the place, you can ask!"

Duanmu Yan's small face instantly turned white. "What if … What if we can't do it?"

"No need for lunch!"

"…" Duanmu Yan pursed her lips. If she knew earlier, she would have eaten more in the morning.

He pouted, unwilling to sit down in front of the desk. Holding the scripture in his hand, he covered his tear-filled face.

When she thought of how she was going to starve at noon, she wanted to cry …

"My Lord!" It's time for Emperor to drink the medicine! " Feng Ji carried the medicine bowl and entered the imperial study.

Gong Shengrui frowned slightly: "Since when did you become a medicine giver?"

"The little girl was so scared by you that she didn't dare come in, so she could only ask for help from her subordinate!" Feng Ji was not afraid, and directly placed the medicine bowl on the table.

Gong Shengrui gave a cold snort, but in the end, he did not bother too much with him.

"Drink the medicine!" Her gaze turned towards Duanmu Yan who was holding the book.

"…" Duanmu Yan.

Her silence made Gong Shengrui unhappily knock the table: Let I personally feed you? "Hmm?"

"…" Duanmu Yan.

Feng Ji quietly stood on his tiptoes and looked around. He could not hold in his laughter.

Gong Shengrui coldly swept his gaze over, scaring Feng Ji as he quickly covered his mouth.

"That …" This subordinate suddenly recalled that the task you gave me previously was not completed yet, so this subordinate will take his leave first! " As soon as he finished speaking, he fled as well.

Gong Shengrui raised his eyebrows, reached out and picked up the book in Duanmu Yan's hand. He realized that she, who should have been reading, was actually sleeping soundly.

For a moment, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

"I looks at your lunch today, I really don't want to eat anymore!" Gong Shengrui slammed the book in his hand onto the table.

Duanmu Yan, who was still sleeping soundly, sprung up with a quiver.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? " Duanmu Yan looked around, her tone anxious. When she saw Gong Shengrui's gloomy and fearsome gaze, the only thing that remained was sleep, which quickly slipped away.

"I don't want to eat lunch today, right?" Gong Shengrui's thin lips formed a straight line, revealing a sense of danger.

Duanmu Yan licked her dry lips and said cowardly, "We've only read two pages in half a year!"

The implied meaning was that I better not eat lunch if I have to read ten pages of the entire morning!

Gong Shengrui was so angry that he started laughing: "Since you have the backbone, then forget about the Evening meal s!"

"No!" Duanmu Yan subconsciously shook her head: "If we don't eat lunch, if we don't eat Evening meal, we will starve to death!"
