Since Eunuch Ping didn’t co to urge An Luming to return to his bedchamber, An Luming was only escorted by a few close Palace Attendants, along with Zhang Wenhe, to Qiankun Hall.
They had just walked halfway there.
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared in the darkness, and a young boy about the sa age as An Luming, dressed in luxurious clothes, stood arrogantly in front of him.
An Luming naturally didn’t know who this was.
Since arriving at the Imperial Palace, he had always been by Xiao Jinxing’s side, hardly seeing anyone else.
But it was evident that the young boy in front of him was not friendly.
An Luming didn’t take the initiative to greet him and tried to walk past him with his entourage.
"Stop!" Xiao Yanqi shouted at him, "How dare you not kneel and show respect when eting this Prince!"
Xiao Yanqi had instructed his Palace Attendants to inquire, knowing An Luming was at Xiaoxiang Palace today, but would return to Qiankun Hall tonight. After his evening al, he waited impatiently, only to see An Luming sauntering along, which infuriated him even more!
An Luming stopped and looked at the person in front of him, responding calmly, "Are you also the Emperor’s son?"
"I’m the only son of the Emperor!" Xiao Yanqi corrected righteously.
"You were before, but not anymore," An Luming replied amicably, introducing himself, "I’m An Luming, also the Emperor’s son, and I’ve been in the palace for half a month."
"An Luming, you’re just a bastard, shalessly calling yourself a Prince!" Xiao Yanqi was extrely angry, completely dismissing An Luming.
An Luming was sowhat provoked by Xiao Yanqi’s words.
But rembering his mother’s instructions to stay in the palace for six months and then leave without causing trouble, he maintained his composure, saying, "I will leave in six months, so indeed, there will only be you as the Prince."
"Then kneel before this Prince!" Xiao Yanqi pressed aggressively.
An Luming, having his pride, couldn’t easily kneel to anyone, and explained, "In six months, you’ll be the only Prince, but now we both are. By the rules, I don’t need to kneel to you. Please step aside, I’m heading back to Qiankun Hall."
Hearing An Luming ntion Qiankun Hall to suppress him, Xiao Yanqi beca even angrier.
Despite being in the palace for years, his chances to et the Emperor were rare, let alone sleeping in Qiankun Hall.
Yet this bastard from the people enjoyed such favor from the Emperor.
He was also reprimanded by his consort mother today because of him.
He shouted, "Today you won’t leave unless you kneel to this Prince!"
An Luming frowned.
Though he had not t many people in the palace, everyone emphasized etiquette; he had never encountered soone so rude.
Even the sowhat aggressive consort he t today wasn’t this discourteous.
Of course, An Luming was not soone to submit to insults.
He had no desire to waste further words with Xiao Yanqi, ignoring him completely, he walked directly past him.
"An Luming, you’re revolting! Treating this Prince’s words like wind in your ears, co, seize An Luming!" Xiao Yanqi ordered loudly.
The Palace Attendants following Xiao Yanqi hurriedly moved to block An Luming’s way.
An Luming’s eyes narrowed.
Zhang Wenhe swiftly intervened as the attendants approached, swiftly subduing them with a few strikes.
Xiao Yanqi was dumbfounded.
How could An Luming dare to attack his people!
Seeing his Palace Attendants floored, Xiao Yanqi’s face showed a trace of fear.
An Luming turned back to look at Xiao Yanqi, "I said, in six months you’ll be the only Prince, until then, you don’t have the right to demand I kneel!"
"An Luming! You bastard!" Xiao Yanqi cursed vehently from behind.
He had co to chastise An Luming, yet was now threatened in return.
How could he tolerate this?
"You’re a bastard, your mother is a harlot, what right do you have in the palace..." Xiao Yanqi cursed angrily.
An Luming had already left.
But he suddenly returned in front of Xiao Yanqi, his small face exuding a cold aura.
Xiao Yanqi couldn’t help but close his mouth at that mont.
At that mont, An Luming resembled the Emperor when furious.
Frightened, Xiao Yanqi felt a chill down his spine.
"Insult , but insult my mother, and I’ll kill you!" An Luming threatened word by word.
His eyes clearly showed a strong intent to kill.
Xiao Yanqi’s face turned pale with fear.
The bastard from the public, An Luming, dared to threaten him like this.
He had been the Crown Prince for four years, the only Prince of Daxuan Kingdom. Civil and military officials all bowed before him, yet this little bastard was so dismissive of him.
In a fit of rage, Xiao Yanqi suddenly lunged, catching An Luming off guard, and pushed him to the ground with all his might.
Zhang Wenhe hadn’t anticipated such strength from a child, thus unprepared, failed to stop Xiao Yanqi’s actions.
An Luming was heavily thrown to the ground.
Xiao Yanqi looked down at him from above, "Little bastard, see your own status before daring to threaten !"
Zhang Wenhe was about to take action.
"Uncle Zhang!" An Luming stood from the ground, directly stopping him.
Zhang Wenhe withdrew his hand.
"I’ll handle my grievances with him myself!" An Luming said.
He walked right up to Xiao Yanqi.
Xiao Yanqi was intimidated by An Luming’s aura.
Clearly not taller or stronger, yet it felt like he was superior.
"An Luming, if you dare hit , you’ll be executed... ah!" Before Xiao Yanqi finished, An Luming pushed him to the ground.
Before he could react, An Luming quickly sat on Xiao Yanqi, punching his body and face repeatedly.
Xiao Yanqi had never been beaten like this before.
He was imdiately scared into panic.
Instinctively, he returned a few punches to An Luming.
But against An Luming’s aggressiveness, it was futile.
He was soon desperately begging for rcy.
"Let go, An Luming, let go, it hurts so much, let go..." Xiao Yanqi cried loudly.
The Palace Attendants around Xiao Yanqi realized the situation was dire, hurriedly running to Yunxia Palace to report the incident.
Bai Mowan’s emotions had been at their peak recently.
Hearing Xiao Yanqi was being beaten by An Luming, she was livid!
She brought people with her, charging furiously towards them.
At the sa ti, Zhang Wenhe had his Palace Attendants report back to An Ning.
An Ning was a bit disbelieving.
An Luming, usually so tolerant, actually got into a fight with Xiao Yanqi, whom he seed to have little interaction with?!
An Ning also didn’t delay, quickly leading people there.
