Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
While scolding, Xue Dafu chased after Emperor Hao and beat him up.
Emperor Hao, who was hiding with his head in his hands, felt that he couldn’t clear his name even if he jumped into the river.
In the kitchen, when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan heard Xue Dafu angrily curse, they knew that the Emperor had been exposed.
Liu Guixia was about to go into the kitchen to see if the two children needed her help. When she heard her husband screaming that there was a thief, she immediately grabbed the hoe leaning against the courtyard and rushed to the back while shouting, “Yihu, Erhu, wake up! There’s a thief!”
Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu also heard their father’s voice. They didn’t even have time to light up lamps or put on their coats. They all got up and left the room. They also grabbed their weapons and went to the back.
Behind them, such a huge commotion naturally woke up Shao Youyue, Zi Cui, and the others who lived at the back. Zi Cui and Xia Han were skilled. When they heard that there was a thief, they immediately drew their swords and rushed out. They wanted to help Xue Dafu catch the thief and protect the Empress.
When they heard that it was a thief who wanted to steal the Empress, Zi Cui and Xia Han instantly had killing intent. They wanted to kill this thief as soon as possible.
Xue Liu and Miao Han had hurriedly lit up the lamp in the hut. With the help of the light, they could clearly see the rapist’s face. With a thud, the two of them instantly knelt down with their swords, trembling.
“It’s, it’s the Emperor.”
When Jiang Yue and Xue Yan rushed to the back, they just happened to see Zi
Cui and Xia Han kneeling down in front of Emperor Hao. They immediately stopped in their tracks.
Liu Guixia, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu rushed over in a hurry. If they hadn’t stopped in time, they would have almost crashed into Jiang Yue and Xue Yan who had suddenly stopped in front of them.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could see clearly that Zi Cui and Xia Han recognized Emperor Hao, but Liu Guixia, Xue Yifu, Xue Erfu, and Xue Dafu did not recognize Emperor Hao. Liu Guixia, Xue Yifu, and Xue Erfu stopped because Jiang Yue and Xue Yan arrived first and stopped, so they did not b.u.mp into Emperor Hao. However, Xue Dafu was busy chasing Emperor Hao. Zi Cui and Xia Han had clearly rushed out with their swords, but they suddenly knelt down, shivering with a look of fear. At first, he didn’t react, and his hand subconsciously hit Emperor Hao’s back twice before stopping.
“Zi Cui, Xia Han, why are you kneeling?” Xue Dafu asked in confusion.
It just so happened that Xue Liu had asked Miao Han to stay in the room to watch over the Empress. The Empress was a little frightened and was worried that it was not a thief but an a.s.sa.s.sin, so she came out to take a look. When she saw Zi Cui and Xia Han kneeling on the ground, she was also very puzzled. She opened her mouth and asked Zi Cui and Xia Han in a whisper, “What’s wrong with you two?”
Just as she finished asking, she saw Emperor Hao’s face. Her face turned pale and she knelt on the ground with a thud, trembling.
She originally wanted to call him the Emperor, but he had come out of the palace. She more or less had some eyesight and quickly changed her tone.
“Master Huang.”
“Master Huang?” Xue Dafu, Liu Guixia, Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu looked at Emperor Hao in confusion.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could only look at Emperor Hao. They wanted to see how this Emperor would explain himself before they decided what ident.i.ty this Emperor would use.
After all, the Emperor had originally planned to do it secretly, but now that he had been discovered, he would definitely have to make up an ident.i.ty.
Emperor Hao was beaten up by Xue Dafu in a very sorry state. He felt pain everywhere on his back, but he still tidied his clothes unhurriedly. He felt that it was enough before he cupped his hands and smiled at Xue Dafu..
