Chapter 100: I'll Take Another Son of Yours

"This is Great Wei." Xiao Yin stood above, his expression cold.

"Spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!" The shopkeeper kept kowtowing, his forehead swollen, but he didn't dare order the kitchen to prepare meat.

"Tsk, tsk, Your Majesty, you won't get to eat any meat, how pitiful!" Ci Xin shook his head, his face full of pity, as if it didn't matter to him and instead, the emperor was desperate for meat, unable to go without it for even a meal.

"Xiaoyue, it's been a while since you had Aunt Jin's braised pork knuckle, right?" Xiao Yin turned to his sister and asked.

"In that case, I'll trouble Aunt Jin then!" Xiaoyue looked at Aunt Jin, slightly pouting.

"Serving Princess Royal is my duty." Aunt Jin bowed and then headed towards the kitchen.

Xiao Yin glanced at Eunuch Gao, who immediately turned and ran after her.

"Tsk, an old fat fish dares to be so arrogant. Uncle, we've collected all the silver, shouldn't we stop now?" Ruo Xi was decisive and ruthless.

Uncle's actions were still too slow.

Xiao Yin's lips twitched, a bitter smile on his face: his niece still had plenty of bandit spirit!

It was time to reel them in.

Kang Prince's influence spread wide, and the city's defense camp, with thousands of soldiers, were all loyal to Kang Prince's Mansion.

So in recent days, Xiao Yin had Baiyu take care of stripping those men of their military powers.

Kang Prince lay in bed groaning, hearing hurried footsteps outside. He turned before anyone could report and asked, "Is that little beast causing trouble again?"

"Yes, it's the Thyme Restaurant cooking meat, braised pork knuckle, they say they're using rock sugar and plum sauce..." the servant finished, swallowing hard.

"Damn it!" Outside, Yu Dehuai shouted, "Follow me, let's tear down that restaurant!"

"What's going on out there? What is the second son doing?" Kang Prince struggled up, enduring the pain, looking outside. "Quickly, stop him, stop him!"

Kang Prince was anxious; the second son was always rash, didn't he remember being beaten at the banquet?

The steward quickly turned, but couldn't catch up.

"Bang!"

The door of Thyme Restaurant was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in.

"Clang!"

In the next moment, with the sound of weapons clashing, these people were thrown back out of the restaurant.

Only after they hit the ground did their necks split open, blood gushing out.

"Ahhh! Murder!"

"Ahhh, the second master is dead!"

People screamed and scattered.

"It's over, Yude County is going to be in chaos!"

"Hurry back and hide, this is no different from the capital's turmoil back then. The emperor... he isn't someone to mess with!"

"Since the emperor came to our Yude County and dared to kill, it shows he's not afraid of Kang Prince. They say Kang Prince is secretly making dragon robes. If caught, it's immediate execution!"

"Yeah, I heard that too. It was a servant cleaning the prince's room who found it in a secret compartment!"

The crowd chattered, quickly dispersing.

Even the second son of Kang Prince, who was crawling on the ground, begging for help, was ignored.

All the guards Yu Dehuai brought were dead.

Yu Dehuai was still alive.

Eunuch Gao stepped out of the gate, his expression cold, looking at Yu Dehuai crawling in the blood. "Hmph, scum. Not chopping you into pieces is already lenient. Daring to disturb the emperor's meal, you've grown bold."

"Father, Father!" Yu Dehuai crawled desperately, fear in his eyes, calling out, "Help me, someone, help me!"

But everyone he brought was dead, and the crowd had fled. The once bustling street was now empty.

Nearby shops closed their windows and doors when Yu Dehuai turned to look.

Inside Kang Prince's Mansion, the obese Kang Prince sat up, the pain making his face tremble.

"What's the situation with the second son? That little beast can't be provoked; he's going to get himself killed!" Kang Prince roared.

"Prince, Prince, Second Master, Second Master..." Before Kang Prince could stand, shouts came from outside.

"What happened? Is he dead?" Kang Prince widened his eyes, holding his breath.

"Not dead!" The servant shook his head.

"Phew, thank goodness." Kang Prince breathed a sigh of relief, saying sternly, "Well, although that little beast is brutal, killing brothers and fathers, he still has some restraint. Hmph, this is my territory, he can't just come here and cause trouble!"

"But the second son is as good as dead!" the servant whispered.

"What?" Kang Prince froze, his eyes widening in shock, roaring, "What do you mean?"

"The tendons in his wrists and ankles have been severed. He crawled all the way back." The servant said, kneeling down.

"Bang!"

The Kang Prince raised his hand, and a gust of wind struck the servant, who didn't even have time to groan before turning into pulp.

"Good, very good!" The Kang Prince walked down the steps step by step.

"My lord, what should we do? Ah Huai, he was, he was mutilated like that!" A woman holding a child less than a year old ran over, wailing.

"Bring in the bloodied body."

"Father, Father, help me, it hurts, it hurts!" His tendons and veins severed, this kind of pain was unbearable for most people.

"Second son, second son, quickly get a doctor, are you all just standing there?" The newly appointed steward came over, waved his hand, and shouted.

"All the way back, you crawled here?" The Kang Prince took a deep breath and asked.

"Yes, no one helped me, no one saved me." Yu Dehuai shook his head.

In the Kang Prince's Mansion, those who had gone out were killed, and those who hadn't were busy with funeral arrangements.

It wasn't until a quarter of an hour later that Yu Dehuai was discovered.

And since Thyme Restaurant was close to the Kang Prince's Mansion, by the time the mansion servants found him, Yu Dehuai was barely alive.

The royal physician was missing.

"Just now, he was still here, where is he?" The Kang Prince roared.

Just half an hour ago, he was still by his bedside, how could he be gone now?

"My lord, the physician escaped amidst the chaos; he seems to have already left the city." A servant from the mansion reported.

"Damn it, damn it!"

The Kang Prince was furious.

"What a temper, Kang Prince!" Outside, Xiao Yin walked in, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe. Behind him, he brought the Black Armor Guard, their presence imposing and intimidating.

Yet, in his arms, he still held a small swaddled bundle.
