CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 370: OLD GINGER IS SPICIER

This is a sign of distrust towards him, and also contempt!

Not only that, but people from Bei Xia might also think he couldn’t handle such a small task, needing others to come in to help, truly a good-for-nothing, unworthy of trust, without any real skills.

The Bei Xia envoy was firm, "There’s no need to call for anyone else, I can do it alone."

"Really?"

Jun Ning murmured briefly, then suddenly walked to Emperor Yongning’s throne, opened a mechanism, took out a gold-plated, engraved dagger, and tucked it into her sleeve.

Then, while the Bei Xia envoy wasn’t paying attention, she moved behind him, unsheathed the gold-plated dagger, and pressed it against the envoy’s waist.

She asked, "Envoy, tell me, who’s more important? You, or the noble girl from the Beast Taming Clan? If you were to die here today, would Bei Xia care about you?"

Speaking of which, this Bei Xia envoy and the noble girl from the Bei Xia Beast Taming Clan were not comparable at all.

Because the noble girl from the Beast Taming Clan is more important than anyone else.

If the envoy were to die here, he’s just a mere envoy, without any important official status in Bei Xia, dead and gone.

But the noble girl from the Beast Taming Clan is different; she alone can rival an army.

In the return of the noble girl from the Beast Taming Clan, his death is completely insignificant.

The atmosphere shifted dramatically; the previously overbearing, arrogant envoy now couldn’t maintain his superiority anymore.

The envoy finally understood fear, cold sweat pouring as he spoke, "...Princess, please reconsider, don’t be impulsive."

"Impulsive? Ha!" Jun Ning sneered, "When you were forcing my Emperor to kneel for you earlier, you didn’t reconsider!"

Earlier, despite being outside the Imperial Study Room, blocked by Xiao Lizi, Jun Ning desperately advanced a few steps, reaching the entrance.

She heard the commotion inside and the outrageous actions of the Bei Xia envoy.

Her heart ached terribly!

She had to make the envoy pay.

"I was wrong..." the envoy quickly admitted his mistake.

But Jun Ning was not going to let him off easy, she said, "Admitting your mistake should come with the right attitude, yes?"

"Attitude?" The envoy was stunned, suddenly realizing, he knelt before Emperor Yongning, kowtowed loudly several times, pleading for mercy.

He once forced Emperor Yongning to bow down to him, now he was returning the favor.

Hoping this troublesome girl would remove the dagger from his hand, and spare him further difficulty!

Jun Ning retorted, "Is this your kowtowing attitude when your forehead hasn’t even touched the ground?"

"...No!" The envoy said, "I’ll kowtow again, I’ll continue to kowtow."

The envoy took a proper stance and gave several loud kowtows to Emperor Yongning, his forehead touching the ground, a red mark appearing on it.

He thought Jun Ning should be satisfied now, should remove the dagger against his back!

Yet, Jun Ning still didn’t move the dagger away.

Not only did she not move it, Jun Ning shifted the dagger to the Bei Xia envoy’s neck, and said, "...Emperor, look, should we kill this idiot?"

Kill him?

And curse him as an idiot?

The envoy had never suffered such humiliation, he collapsed despairingly backward on the ground.

Emperor Yongning raised his hand slightly, saying, "No need!" Pausing, he added, "Have someone take him away to clean the latrines at the fortunate beings’ bureau."

These words were spoken so calmly, yet carried such insult and devastating impact.

Jun Ning’s actions of hitting and threatening were mere trifles.

Making someone used to holding their head high bow down, letting someone standing in the clouds fall into the mud, sending someone who doesn’t engage in earthly matters to clean the latrines, this was truly the fatal and punitive measure.

Emperor Yongning, deserving of the name Emperor Yongning!

The elder is indeed wiser!

Once the situation reversed, and he had leverage, he began to act!

The Bei Xia envoy was taken to clean the latrines.

Emperor Yongning didn’t give him a single glance.

The Bei Xia envoy shouted, "Your Majesty, you can’t treat me this way, I am Bei Xia’s envoy, insulting me is insulting Bei Xia, do you really want to do this?"

The Eldest Prince said, "Shut up, we, Dong Chu, helped you find the noble girl from the Beast Taming Clan. Asking your Bei Xia for a laborer is feasible, there’s no such thing as insulting you..."

The Bei Xia envoy still wanted to say something to extricate himself from the situation, but he was dragged away by several eunuchs, soon no sound from him could be heard.

The Imperial Study Room finally fell silent.

Emperor Yongning sat on the throne, waved to Jun Ning, Jun Ning quickly walked to Emperor Yongning, rushed into the open arms of Emperor Yongning waiting for her.

Emperor Yongning said nothing at all, only holding Jun Ning tightly with one arm, holding her for quite some time, without releasing.

He inwardly seemed to say nothing, and yet, said everything.

A thousand words embodied in this embrace.

The Eldest Prince asked Jun Ning, "Hey, how did you take in that Lan Xihe?"

Jun Ning had not yet answered, when Emperor Yongning spoke first, "Once One went out of the palace, saw that girl being bullied by Jun Yang, pitied her, and took her in."

The Eldest Prince was curious, "Father, you actually knew about this matter?"

"Yes, yes, I knew." Emperor Yongning said, "At that time, I didn’t allow One to bring that unknown-origin girl into the palace, One and I stood firm for so long! Later I agreed to let her stay by One’s side, but she suddenly sent the girl away..."

Emperor Yongning was also quite curious at the time, Jun Ning had been persistent in wanting to keep the girl, why did she send her away? Where was she sent? He wanted to ask, but feared that asking might cause Jun Ning to clamor to keep the girl, so he didn’t ask.

"I see." The Eldest Prince then said, "Then Ah Ning, where is she being kept now? Just tell me directly, I’ll go bring her back to the palace?"
