Chapter 61 The Emperor Saves His Cub!

Ling Suisui had knelt in Madam Xu's small Buddhist temple before. When she saw Madam Xu kneeling, she also knelt on the cushion like her.

Then, she bowed with her chubby hands and made a wish in a baby voice to the Buddha statue.

"May Sui Sui grow fat every day, play every day, and not get beaten."

Mrs. Xu, who was standing nearby, heard her wish and almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

Mrs. Xu’s Buddhist hall is smaller than the Empress Dowager’s, but the cushions that were in Mrs. Xu’s Buddhist hall are not found here.

Ling Suisui did not see the futon, nor did she see the empress dowager kneeling down.

She shook her little head and spoke slowly.

"Don't kneel every year."

"Without a cushion, I feel pain every year."

When the Queen Mother heard her refusal, her face immediately turned cold.

"I am the Queen Mother of a country. My words are orders!"

"Do you dare to disobey orders?"

The Queen Mother's majesty as a ruler for many years is not false.

She spoke so harshly that even Concubine Hua, the most favored concubine in the palace, had to kneel down.

But Ling Suisui refused to kneel.

Ling Suisui instinctively knew that the Queen Mother was releasing malicious intent towards her!
Therefore, Ling Suisui refused to kneel.

"Grandpa Emperor said that we should not kneel every year."

Ling Suisui raised her soft little face and brought Ling Di out.

Emperor Ling played with Ling Suisui for a while before going to court.

He promised Ling Suisui the right not to kneel to anyone.

"Grandpa Huang?"

The Queen Mother sneered at Ling Suisui's address, "You are a wild child with unknown origins, and you are worthy of calling the king of a country grandpa?"

The Queen Mother's original plan was to let Ling Suisui learn a lesson from her.

When Ling Suisui was extremely afraid of her, she would give Ling Suisui a sweet date.

A stick and a sweet date are enough to tame a three-year-old child.

If she could tame this child, she would be able to prevent him from ever biting her twelve again!
The Queen Mother's plan was a good one.

Her set of procedures works for all the concubines in the palace!

There is not a single concubine in this palace who is not afraid of her.

But Ling Suisui is not a palace concubine.

She is a stubborn little girl!

"Madame Liu, come in."

The Queen Mother called in Nanny Liu who was at the door.

After Nanny Liu came in, the empress dowager turned her back, wrapped a string of Buddhist beads in her hands, and gently closed her eyes.

"This child doesn't know the rules of the palace. You should teach her well to prevent her from being disrespectful and making a fool of herself."

"Yes."

Nanny Liu has been with the Empress Dowager for many years, and she can understand what the Empress Dowager means with just one look.

Not to mention that the Queen Mother has now made it so clear.

Nanny Liu bent down, with no expression on her face.

She stretched out her hand, a pair of rough hands like eagle claws, pinched Ling Suisui's cheeks and stuffed a piece of cloth into Ling Suisui's mouth.

Ling Suisui: “!”

Ling Suisui suddenly couldn't make any sound.

She struggled with her little body and tried to run out of the Buddhist temple.

But she is too young!
She was like a kitten in the hands of a grown man.

Nanny Liu has been in the deep palace for many years and knows a lot of secret and bloodless tricks.

Soon, Ling Suisui's pair of bright black round eyes were filled with tears.

She kicked her short legs desperately, but her legs were also caught by Aunt Liu!
In the Buddhist temple, Ling Suisui was in so much pain that she couldn't even cry.

Outside the Buddhist temple, Nanny Huang was accompanying the eldest princess.

She poured tea for the eldest princess and consoled her with a smile, "Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much about Miss Suisui. Don't you know who the Queen Mother is?"

"She also knows that Miss Sui Sui was frightened this time, so she deliberately asked Miss Sui Sui to stay in the Buddhist temple for a while so that the Buddha can protect her and relieve Miss Sui Sui of her worries." Nanny Huang's words were gentle, but the eldest princess was still worried.

"Mammy, Sui Sui has been in the Buddhist temple for a while. It's time for her to take her medicine."

"Please go and inform them so I can take Sui Sui to take medicine."

The eldest princess not only asked Nanny Huang to report again.

She also asked someone to invite Emperor Ling again.

When Suisui was brought here, the eldest princess had already sent someone to invite him once!
This is the second time.

According to the rules, when Emperor Ling went to court, he would neither pay attention to nor listen to the reports from the harem.

But the eldest princess still wanted to give it a try.

For some reason, the eldest princess' eyelids were twitching violently.

She has always been very respectful to the Queen Mother over the years!
Although the Queen Mother doted on the twelfth prince Ling Mo very much, she had no intention of helping him to compete for the throne.

In the harem, she was still in opposition to Concubine Hua.

That's why the eldest princess has been a filial grandson in front of her for so long!

"Your Highness, please be patient, I will pass on the message right away."

Time passes little by little.

About a cup of tea later, Emperor Ling, who had finished his morning court early, finally arrived.

Emperor Ling was able to rush back not because the eunuchs reported that Ling Suisui had been taken away by the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother wanted to see a little child, and such a thing was not even included in the list of announcements.

Emperor Ling was alarmed by Concubine Li.

Concubine Li drowned and nearly lost her life. These life-threatening matters reached the ears of Emperor Ling, who then ended his morning court session.

After he came out of court, he had just seen Concubine Li and had not yet spoken a few words to her when the Princess's men found him.

At the same time, Ling Chengze, who had just come out of court, also received news about Ling Suisui.

Ling Chengze and Ling Di, the father and son, went to Shoukang Palace one after another.

In Shoukang Palace, the Queen Mother had already come out of the Buddhist hall.

She was talking to the eldest princess.

Seeing Emperor Ling and Ling Chengze coming over, the Empress Dowager did not reveal the slightest flaw on her face.

She sighed and admitted her mistake to Emperor Ling.

"It's all Twelve's fault this time. The two children suffered."

"As for Xiao'er, I will compensate him well."

"And Sui Sui, I'll let this child rest in the Buddhist temple so that the Buddha's light can calm her down."

It's rare for the Queen Mother to be so humble.

She spoke of her love for the two children, and Emperor Ling was moved.

But Ling Chengze didn't feel anything about these words.

He said calmly, "Grandmother, she needs to calm down every year, and it's time to find an imperial physician to help her."

"It's getting late now, Suisui should go back."

After Ling Chengze finished his two sentences, the Queen Mother continued to speak, and the meaning of her words was obvious -

She wants to stay with Ling Suisui for a little longer.

But what Ling Chengze said just now was not to discuss with her, but to inform her.

Ling Chengze didn't listen to a word the Queen Mother said.

He rushed in directly and went to the Buddhist temple with a clear goal.

When the Queen Mother saw him breaking into the Buddhist temple, her face changed.

"Ling Chengze! How dare you break into the palace! Don't you think highly of me?!"

The Queen Mother was so angry that she slammed the table and said, "Emperor! Look at your good son! He is about to rebel!"

The Queen Mother complained to Emperor Ling in person.

Emperor Ling frowned and also felt that Ling Chengze's behavior was a little inappropriate.

But the next second, he saw Ling Chengze coming out with a baby that was as soft as noodles.

The baby who was taken out had blood on his mouth!

This blood was not done by Mammy.

Mammy isn't stupid enough to leave any traces!
The nanny didn't want to leave any marks, but the cub was so badly bullied that he bit his own mouth and made it bleed!
