In the imperial study.

Emperor Yong Ning was listening to the latest progress of the search for the little princess. When he heard that they still could not find her, he was so angry that he overturned the table in front of him and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Those around him were so scared that they knelt on the ground and held their breaths.

Emperor Yong Ning wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his fist and cursed. “A bunch of good-for-nothings. It’s been so long, but we can’t even find a little girl.”

The minister who had just reported the matter said in a trembling voice, “Your Majesty, please calm down. I… I will immediately send more people to help progress the search.”

“Send more people, send more people, send more people.”

Emperor Yong Ning strode up to the minister and kicked his shoulder.

The minister fell to the ground, and his crown fell off. He did not have time to pick it up. He quickly got up and continued to kneel.

Emperor Yong Ning said unhappily, “For the past two months, you’ve been coming to report the latest news about the princess to me. You say you can’t find her and that you’re sending more people out to keep searching.”

“Count on your fingers; how many times have you said this? Have you yielded any results?”

“Do you think I’m a beggar? Do you think I’ll accept whatever you say? Hmm?”

If Emperor Yong Ning was in a good mood, he could still say the same thing and get away with it.

However, he gave the same reason every time, which was obviously perfunctory. Who wouldn’t get angry?

Plus, the person he was talking to was the Emperor of Eternal Peace, the Son of Heaven, the being who held the power of life and death in his hands.

“I… I… I know. I was wrong…”

The minister was so frightened that he kept kowtowing. His head was bleeding, but he still did not stop. He kept kowtowing, and the sound of his head colliding with the ground was very loud.

Emperor Yong Ning was annoyed. He interrupted him and asked Xiao Lizi to drag the man out. He wanted him to kowtow outside. He was a piece of trash. He should kowtow until he died.

“Your Majesty, why don’t you drink some chrysanthemum tea to cool down?” Xiao Lizi hurriedly offered him a cup of tea.

After taking a sip of tea, Emperor Yong Ning asked, “How’s the search for that little rascal who’s been toying with our people going?”

Xiao Lizi’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that the emperor would be concerned about the princess today and would not ask about that little brat again.

He did not expect him to ask about that kid.

Xiao Lizi wiped away the cold sweat that was quickly forming on his forehead and said, “The Golden Guards are still searching the palaces. They’ll come forward to provide a report as soon as they have news.”

“Hm!” After Emperor Yong Ning acknowledged this, he said, “Search every palace and every corner of The Imperial Palace. Don’t miss a single place.”

Xiao Lizi was worried because he still could not find the child and did not know what to do.

Emperor Yong Ning reminded him of something.

It seemed that the Golden Guards had only searched a few places in the open.

As for those remote and unfrequented places, they might not have searched them yet.

And weren’t unfrequented places the perfect hiding places?

In addition, the little brat who teased the emperor and the imperial kitchen’s chef was so mischievous and did not play by the rules. Therefore, it was very likely that he was hiding in a place that people rarely went to.

Xiao Lizi felt that it was necessary to bring this to the Golden Guards.

“Your Majesty, I will pass your message to the Golden Guards.”

Emperor Yong Ning waved his hand dismissively, and Xiao Lizi left.

An hour later, the Golden Guards began a new round of search.

Their first destination was The Cold Palace.

Right now, Jun Ning was weeding the vegetable gardens with her mother. She was caught off guard when she heard the commotion outside The Cold Palace.

“Open the door to The Cold Palace. We’re going to search the palace.” The leader of the Golden Guards gave the order.

The old maidservant in charge of guarding The Cold Palace did not quite understand. “Milords, what happened? Why do you suddenly want to search The Cold Palace?”
