Seeing that signature scar and hearing that sowhat familiar voice, Head Constable Wang was stunned for a mont before coming to his senses.
Just as Li San grabbed Xiaosuisui and was about to force her to kneel, Head Constable Wang’s knees buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.
"What are you doing, Head Constable Wang? The esteed lady asked this little monster to kneel, not you. What is the aning of this display?"
Seeing Head Constable Wang’s actions, Li San was terrified and quickly shouted at him.
Sweat beaded on Head Constable Wang’s forehead, and his body trembled. He was so terrified he nearly wet himself; his entire fra was shaking.
He prostrated himself on the ground and shouted, "Greetings, Your Highness the Princess! Long live the Princess! For ten thousand years, for ten thousand, thousand years to the Princess!"
What? The Princess? Everyone’s faces filled with shock; they couldn’t believe what they were hearing from Head Constable Wang.
"Head Constable Wang, what are you saying! Where is any princess here?"
County Magistrate Wu and the others looked around but saw no one else besides their group. Furthermore, he hadn’t heard about any princess accompanying the young Emperor on his southern tour!
County Magistrate Wu had forgotten. When the Imperial Carriage of the young Emperor arrived at the Xun’an County Yan, his two constables, chosen by the Lord God Hunter to track the missing children, had told him that the Emperor had bestowed the title of Princess on soone right then and there.
What was I doing at that ti? Oh, right! He had been so scared he’d wet his pants. The thought that he, a re seventh-rank official, actually had the chance to et the Emperor was so overwhelming that he imagined the Wu Family’s ancestral tomb must be emitting auspicious smoke. So he hadn’t paid any attention at all to the news that the young Emperor had suddenly bestowed the title of Princess on an infant girl.
Even if I had heard it, I would have done the sa thing today. After all, the infant girl in front of is utterly hideous. With such a long scar on her face, who would ever think she could be a princess!
"Indeed, Head Constable Wang. Aren’t you getting old and muddled?" Li San said. "There are only a few of us here; there’s no one else. By the way, I heard that the Great Wizard of Nanjiang is highly skilled in unorthodox practices. You haven’t been hexed by him, have you? Look at you! The last ti I saw you, you still had a fair amount of hair. How is it that now, your head is bare? Could that Great Wizard have used so Evil Technique on you?"
Seeing that his mission was about to be accomplished and his favorability was on the verge of increasing, Li San hadn’t expected Head Constable Wang to suddenly kneel like a fool and shout, "Long live the Princess!" This completely halted his intended actions.
"Shut up!" Head Constable Wang roared. "Do you know what you’re doing? Daring to make the Princess kneel before a farr’s wife? Do you not want your head anymore?"
Head Constable Wang was drenched in sweat, his body rigid. He knelt before Xiaosuisui, his eyes filled with terror.
This is Princess Chang Rongshun Shunhe, the one His Majesty the Emperor holds in his arms and refuses to let go of! What have these people been doing just now? Making her kneel and kowtow in apology? To a farr’s wife! Heavens, do these people think their heads are too firmly attached to their necks? Are they tired of living?
"No, you shut up!" Li San retorted, sneering as he kept his grip on Xiaosuisui. His face feigned righteousness, as if he were a great benefactor. "I think your mind has been addled by that Great Wizard of Nanjiang! What do you an, I don’t want my head? And that I made the Princess kneel to a farr’s wife? Did I make the Princess kneel to a farr’s wife? I’m making this little monster kneel and apologize to the esteed lady! I’m saving this little monster’s family! If she doesn’t kneel and apologize to the esteed lady today, she’ll drag her entire family to prison, do you understand? I’m saving her!"
With a sudden exertion of force, he pushed Xiaosuisui down, trying to make her bend her knees and kneel before Zhao Chunxiang!
