Chapter 27: Punished Yinyin
Translator: Asada
As the sun sat, the atmosphere gradually darkened.
In the bushes, the dumpling was covered with mosquitoes. She kept scratching her hands. She was hungry. She felt wronged and complained to the System,”Uncle System, you said that he will come out of here, he isnt out ye!”
The system cannot hurt the human cub. The three year old cub completed the last task.
Even if the group thinks that it wasnt completing the task, she was just looking for her father but the result was good.
After the group allowed her, not only the blackening of the villain and the family was prevented but she indirectly also affected the original world which was on the verge of collapse.
In that world, the villain wanted to kill the male protagonist and all his friends but somehow the villain suddenly changed his mind, disappeared without a trace and the world continued with order. The system bureau was very surprised.
The system decided to take good care of the human cub, wait for her to prevent the blackening of the villain and make him return back to normal and then grant her a wish.
He hesitated and said,” Little cub, how about you go back soon and find a way to see Dad tomorrow?”
The three-year old isnt sensible. The system needs to think more about this. In case its late, the Jingyuan Palace gate would be closed and locked. How can she go outside then?
The dumpling was tender but when she heard what the system said, she immediately shook her head ans said no, “Dad has agreed with it. I have to wait for the Dad to come.”
System “…”
Are you sure that its not your unilateral agreement? [1]
When the three-year old was stubborn on seeing Dad, the system could not hold it.
She has been there for a long time.
I do not know how long it has been.
There was a movement far away from the front.
Its a cobblestone road, the boots stepping on the road is very small. The dumpling is half squinting and dozing off little by little.
Her ears were on the ground and when she heard the movement, she opened her eyes.
She looked around and said in a milky voice, “Is Dad Coming?”
She was about to stand up, but her small soft legs were numb from a long time, she slammed on the ground.
“Who!”
“Who is this girl? Is she a slave?”
The palace lady ran quickly to the bush, the small dumpling was sitting on the ground and staring at her in horror.
HuanYue Palace, the palace of Duan Qi.
A woman was in twilight palace dress, leaning slantly against the chaise longue while looking down at the dumpling standing on the ground. [2]
The pink skirt of the dumpling was dirty and the dust and dirt has stained it.
She was grinning at the strange palace and aunt. The aunt was smiling nicely but she was very bad. She did not allow her to sit and let her stand and talk.
“I head in the palace that the His Magesty brought back a small wild species from outside the palace, is that you?”
Duan Qi looked up and down with her eyes,”Are you the His Magesty’s child?”
“Say, who is your mother?”
The palace lady immediately caught the soft dumpling on the arm,”Speak and tell the goddess what you know and she will let you go after a while.”
The palace lady wasn’t too harsh but her arm is tender, her eyes became sore but she didnt make a sound like a stubborn cub. The more you are not good to her, the more she will not talk.
She even didnt know anything and didnt know what the bad aunt was asking. She barely leaned her head and kept her mouth shut.
The rumbling of the stomach was heard.
Duan looked at the small belly of the dumpling and smiled, “Dont talk then, let this wild cub stand at the door. Dont allow her to eat, dont allow her to drink. She will talk when she wants to eat.”
“Go to the kitchen and cook something delicious and let her look at it.”
At the same time, the Jingyuan Palace was in a mess.
Previously, after having her bath, the dumpling was taken to Duke Dou who arranged the palace of the residence of the lady with four weak and sick people who were now looking for her everywhere.
They rummaged through all the corners of the Jingyuan Palace but didnt find the dumpling.
Wan Hao is old and her heart is soft. After hesitating for a long time she said, ,”Little Liu, woudnt it be better to go to Duke Dou for help?”
Xio Liu immediately refused. “No If we tell Duke Dou then the Emperor will immediately know about it. You dont want to live?”
When they think of the Emperor, he can easily kill them in one slash. The four of them are silent.
“Continue to look for her, look outside the Jingyuan Palace, Wan Hao you go the east, no name you are responsible for the west and I am going here….”
They are looking for the dumpling but the dumpling is standing outside the HuanYue Palace while being stared by the palace lady.
She has placed roasted chicken, all kinds of fruits and vegetables and even cake on the table. It was fragrant but the dumpling was not allowed to eat it till she told about her mother outside the Palace.
The dumpling was flustered and her eyes were red but she refused to cry. Dad has said that when Dad is not there then she needs to be a strong child.
She stood and stood and gradually her pair of small legs shook and she could no longer stand.
“Hey…..Uncle System, YinYin is not good, YinYin is so tired, She is so hungry.”
The palace lady smiled and said,”What are you doing? If you talk about what I want to know then this girl will give you something delicious to eat and let you go.”
The Emperor isnt keen on the harem and no one has the same temperament as him. Only few of them have not yet received the fury of the Emperor. They all a re stagant. No one has any children and everyone is at the starting point.
But no one knows why the Emperor will bring a child from outside the palace?
Everyone secretly concluded and guessed that she is most likely the child of the Emperor.
Otherwise, why would the Emperor with ruthless temper bring a child into the palace without a reason? She has heard that when the child entered the palace, she was dirty. How much does he like clean people? No on even touches him and this is the first person to be treated specially.
Just like other concubines, she bears expectation to have a family and enter the palace. She wants to have a child with the Emperor. In addition she is also selfish. She loves the Emperor.
She loves and fears that man. If the Emperor ever has a child then it must be from her belly.
After standing for an hour, the dumpling coudnt help it. She softly fell on the ground. The system was anxious. He was annoyed that he didnt think about it. He directly asked the dumpling to stop the villain on the road but forgot about the dangers of the Ancient Palace.
This is the center of ancient Imperial Power. There are many people who make their own conclusions. There are many people in the palace who are vying for power. In such a world, as long as the right to punish a child is not a crime, the dumpling is only three years old. Little cub…
The system is annoyed by the current situation, the first world was going too well so he became a little numb.
Her body condition is very poor and there are symptoms of dehydration. The system bit his teeth.
At this time the door of the royal study finally opened and man came out from inside. Don Gonggong went up to him, “Your Majesty wants to return to the Palace?”
“I didnt have dinner yet.”
He walked on the road and there was long shadow in the moonlight.
The palace gate opens.
The man came out from the inside and refused the sedan chair,”You dont have to follow me.” [3]
Duke Dou knows that the Emperor loves to be clean and often does not allow other people to follow him. Don Gonggong retreats from the palace.
While walking through the bushes outside the palace, the man’s eye condense. A small pink shoe was lying on the ground outside the bush. The shoe was less than half a palm and it was covered in dirt.
He reached upto it and picked up the shoe and placed them in his palm and stared at it for a ling time.
Duke Dou saw the emperor not moving for a long time and followed up ,”Your Majesty?” He saw the little shoe and wondered,” There are now children in the palace…” speaking of the dumpling.
Duke Dou frowned,”Is it the Miss’s shoe?”
“What about her?”
“The slaves were arranged in the Jingyuan Palace which is close to the LongQian Palace but away from the Harem. The slaves were selected suitably for the young lady.
The man said,”Send someone to find her.”
The dumpling was locked in the firewood house. There was a small kitchen in the HuanYue Palace. The kitchen had a small firewood room on the side. The firewood room was dark at night and nothing could be seen. THere were no windows and the door was closed.
The dumpling was hungry and thirsty and her legs hurt. She was confused and said,”Uncle System, she must be jealous, I want to see Daddy…”
The heart of the system is also twisted. He learns the way of the humans and awkwardly comfort the dumpling,”Little Cub very soon, your father will come to you very soon and save you from here, hey , hey…”
She slept on the ground.
At this time, the HuanYue Palace had become a mess as it was suddenly occupied. Don Gonggong took the guards and encircled the palace. man’s face was dark and heavy. He looked down at the women who was lying on the ground.
“Where are you hiding the child?”
The man’s eyes were deep and she cant see the emotions in it but she knows that he is angry.
The man was just like an ice even his blood was cold. When was the last time she saw him so angry?
Ten Years ago…
The Empress Dowager rebelled against the Emperor who had just ascended the throne. Duan Qi had the privilege of seing this man with her grandfather. He was still a teenager. He looked at his relatives with such eyes. After looking for a long time, he did not say a word. The human heads and blood soon splashed on the ground.
She was suddenly scared.
She squatted on the floor and shook her body,” In…in the firewood.”
Needless to say, the guards soon came to inform him,” Your Magesty, the firewood room is locked.”
The door was soon slammed open and dusty smell soon covered the scene. The man did not even move his brows and walked up to the small curled up cub.
The dumpling was born small and she was only three year old, she was also short of food and clothes. She seemed even smaller in the corner.
He reached out and was about to life the ball.
The dumpling’s faced turned pale and her baby fat on her face wrinkled. Her brows came together and she murmured in her dream with her young voice. She kept repeating that she is hungry.
He paused but then held the dumpling in her arms. The little dumpling swayed and drilled into his arms. The little dumpling held his clothes.
He hugged the the dumpling and went out. Don Gonggong had a face full of suffering, he had no tears in his eyes. He knew that he has messed up big time…. [4]
