Chapter 25 - Consequences of the challenge to authority

"If you don't want to starve to death, then work hard to memorize the first ten pages!" Gong Shengrui said without a doubt, and conveniently pushed the medicine bowl in front of her: "Remember, when you can recite the first ten pages of the scripture well, and when you can eat!"

"Don't …"

"The protest is futile!" Gong Shengrui tapped the medicine bowl: "Drink it!"

Not only did he not give them food, he even drank medicine …

The more Duanmu Yan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. A layer of mist slowly seeped out of her eyes.

"Hold it back. Otherwise, if I doesn't mind, I'll let you experience the cold palace for a few more days!" Gong Shengrui's words were not a joke, they scared Duanmu Yan so much that tears came out of his eyes, and he immediately held it back.

He picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Reading books!"

"Oh!" Duanmu Yan once again picked up the scripture, and looked at the dense black words written on it. Unknowingly, her eyelids started to tremble again.

Suddenly, a 'pa' sound came out, scaring Duanmu Yan as she hurriedly raised his head.

"I'm not asleep!" Duanmu Yan quickly explained.

"Soon!" Gong Shengrui's face darkened, "Are you a pig? "He fell asleep the moment he started reading?"

Duanmu Yan pouted her lips in grievance, "There are many words in it that I do not recognize, and it does not recognize me either. I do not like it, and it also does not like me, so..."

"Stop trying to find excuses for I! Which word do you not know? Come out, I will explain to you!"

"..." "Oh!"

In the entire morning, Gong Shengrui had not approved a lot of books. He had only taught her to recognize characters and explain the meaning of each poem …

Even so, during the entire lunch hour, not to mention the ten pages of familiar back, she was even stuttering after reading three pages.

"You don't need to eat lunch today!" Gong Shengrui stood up and flicked his sleeves as he left.

Duanmu Yan laid her head down on the table and muttered powerlessly, "I knew it. We don't have lunch, we don't have Evening meal, and we don't have breakfast tomorrow either …"

"Emperor! Emperor... " who was being stopped by two guards outside the imperial study shouted while tiptoeing.

Duanmu Yan pouted, she slowly got up and walked to the side of the door: "Chen Xi! The bad guy will not let us eat! "

"Your servant heard it!"

"I'm hungry, always hungry. Do you think I'll starve to death?" Duanmu Yan looked at Chen Xi pitifully. That look, was extremely pitiful.

"Emperor! You better not let your thoughts run wild, this is just a moment of anger for Prince Regent, I will definitely give you Evening meal s at night, but in the afternoon, you must read seriously, you must not make this Prince Regent angry again! " Chen Xi warned repeatedly. With Prince Regent's temperament, if Emperor was still not enlightened, it was possible for her to starve for two to three days.

When he saw this recognition, Chen Xi's entire being turned bad.

"This Emperor has remembered it!" Duanmu Yan said with a bitter face and nodded her head innocently: "Forget it! "I think it's better for me to go back and read. Maybe the big scoundrel will be happy and give me some afternoon tea!"

"…" The chances of this happening were extremely slim.

Duanmu Yan acted as if she did not see Chen Xi's expression, she turned and ran back to her original position, holding onto her scripture and reading with a stutter.

Half an hour later …

's figure could be seen from afar. When he got a little closer, Chen Xi immediately knelt down.

"Prince Regent! Emperor has not recovered from his severe illness, if he does not eat the food, his condition will become worse. Therefore, this servant dares to ask you, please eat something from Emperor! "

Gong Shengrui's obscure gaze lightly swept across Chen Xi: "Are you done talking?"
