Chapter 18: Don’t Blame Me for Being Impolite

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Don’t play dumb. I won’t let go if you don’t tell the truth.” Emperor Yong Ning gripped harder, and the threat was obvious.

It was only to be expected of an emperor who held the power of life and death in his hands. Jun Ning’s heart trembled under the pressure of his aura, and she was afraid that he would kill her in a fit of anger.

After a moment of uneasiness, she reached toward her waist. She looked as if she was going to take something out. However, she had a conflicted expression on her face and did not do anything for a long time. It seemed like things were pretty complicated.

She was still considering if she should take it out.

“Are you going to tell me or not?” Emperor Yong Ning gripped her wrist even harder.

Jun Ning felt as if her wrist was about to be crushed. Tears were already welling up in her eyes, but she refused to give in and said stubbornly, “Are … Are you going to let go or not?”

She was clearly very scared, but it did not show in her tone.

She found it easy to threaten a child who was young like her, but this was Emperor Yong Ning.

Emperor Yong Ning was unmoved. “I won’t let go.”

“Are you sure you don’t want to let go?” Jun Ning had already made up her mind. She took out the item from her waist and gripped it tightly.

Emperor Yong Ning raised his chin. “I’m sure.”

Jun Ning gritted her teeth. “Then, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

“Hah!”

The voice was filled with disdain and mockery.

However, Emperor Yong Ning had no time to mock him.

She had scattered something in front of him. It seemed to be some kind of powder. It was red and accompanied by a strong spicy smell, which was very pungent.

It was too late for Emperor Yong Ning to duck out of the way. He was caught off guard and began sneezing.

In the next moment, his entire face and eyes were burning with intense pain. It was a very spicy sensation.

It was unspeakably uncomfortable.

Emperor Yong Ning could no longer be arrogant.

He rubbed his eyes, bent over, and shouted in a sorry state, “Xiao Lizi, quickly, quickly call the imperial physician. I have been poisoned.”

Xiao Lizi had been standing right behind Emperor Yong Ning just now. How could he have avoided it when Emperor Yong Ning was feeling its effects? What a joke! He was in a similar situation as Emperor Yong Ning, injured was well.

Even the people behind them could not escape this powder. They had all fallen.

However, some people inhaled more powder, while others inhaled less.

The situation varied.

The instigator, Jun Ning, was no longer as cautious and scared as before. Now, she crossed her arms over her chest and proudly let them go.

These people were in so much pain that they were practically rolling on the ground, and she could not help but hold her stomach and laugh.

She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

“Let this young master reassure you that this isn’t poison. You have not been poisoned. This is super strong chili powder. I prepared it just for you. Enjoy it. ”

Jun Ning had brought the chili powder with her when left for the imperial kitchen today. It was to avoid being stuck with a bunch of idiots like last time.

She had not thought that it would be very useful, but she certainly did not expect that she would use it so soon.

Plus, she had used it on the emperor.

It was exciting just thinking about it.

Jun Ning was laughing all the way back to The Cold Palace. She wished she could write the words ‘I’m having a great day’ on her forehead, so everyone could see.

After a round of terrifying searching, The Cold Palace had returned to being uneventful and uninteresting again.

Jun Ning still had not returned and Qiong Hua was waiting anxiously.
