Chapter 506: Complaint From The Adorable Little Seven

The imperial officers nodded, agreeing that the man, who went by the surname Wei, bit off more than he could chew.

Although General Liao had taken no action so far, he was distressed. Being a minor magistrate, General Liao was scared to even bear the consequences when the elders received the letter, not to mention him.

Let’s see what will happen later.

The Capital will definitely respond to the incident that happened at the Bayview Seafood Restaurant…

That night, the glowing moon was hanging high in the night sky.

In a residence of the Capital.

The elder of the Helian Clan was sitting on the main seat. Despite being an old man, he gave out a rather inimical aura all because of his abstruse eyes. People would only feel disturbed after staring into his eyes for some time.

He was surrounded by the stewards of the family who were all smiling. “With less than five days left, Helian Wei Wei might not even be able to reach the doorway. Five days later, the Helian family will be completely in our hands. When the time comes, we will need the elder’s help to choose a reliable patriarch.”

“You don’t have to worry. I have already chosen a candidate.” Elder Helian took a sip of the white wine. “But, recently, some minor issues have arisen.”

Some quick-witted stewards immediately recalled the case that happened in Fuping County two days ago after listening to Elder Helian’s word. “Elder, you are concerned about the presence of County Magistrate Wei?”

“How can an unimportant county magistrate like him bother me?” Elder Helian scoffed and continued calmly, “But, Governor Chen, who supports County Magistrate Wei, works for the Retired Emperor. It will not be easy to deal with him.”

The two men carried on with their conversation before they were interrupted by a servant.

The servant handed them an imperial edict.

Elder Helian read the edict before he gave out a mirthless smile. “He is really conceited to put his oar in everything. Being a minor magistrate, he’s trying to intervene in every affair.”

The others took a glimpse at the edict while Elder Helian was reading it. “Do they intend to close down Bayview Seafood Restaurant?”

Then, they chuckled, “Perhaps the county magistrate is carrying his head around. He is so brash to meddle in the affairs of Bayview Seafood Restaurant.”

“That’s because he is backed by Governor Chen.” Elder Helian carefully folded the edict. “Bayview Seafood Restaurant is a prestigious old brand that has been selling marine products for years. It was founded before the Retired Emperor succeeded to his throne. Therefore, it is impossible for them to close down the Bayview Restaurant. I fretted to contend with Governor Chen, but this provides me a good reason to fight him.” After he finished his words, he lifted his head and ordered the servant who delivered him the edict, “Tell Qingtian to handle the case unsparingly. Other than Governor Chen, arrest everyone else who attempts to ruin Bayview Restaurant’s reputation regardless of their official position. After I report the case to the Retired Emperor, I will meet them personally at the provincial capital.”

“Noted.” The servant bowed respectfully before he left the scene.

The night sky turned darker.

In a room of the palace, a little boy was holding his belly as he writhed in agony on his bed. The imperial physicians were on tenterhooks.

They were perturbed mainly because the Little Seventh Prince refused to let them diagnose his illness.

He was obviously sick. But, they could not comprehend the prince’s reaction as he threw pillows at them whenever they attempted to go near him.

They reckoned that his massive force could easily annihilate all of them!

In fact, it was not an exaggerated statement.

The Little Seventh Prince’s strength was extraordinary.

For him, beating people up was apparently his usual pastime.

The imperial physicians stood by the bed awkwardly as they gazed at each other in silence.

“It’s your turn.”

“No, no, no. I’m very inexperienced. Maybe Imperial Physician Zhang should try and do it.” You must be kidding me. Anyone who tries to approach Little Seventh Prince will definitely become his next target! I got slightly nearer to the Little Seventh Prince just now and was mercilessly hit by the pillow. Until now, my head is still spinning!

He felt the urge to ask the Little Seventh Prince the number of pillows he had hidden.

Since the moment they entered the room, the Little Seventh Prince had treated them as if they were some ferocious monsters. He would hurl the pillow at anyone who attempted to approach him.

If the situation persisted, they would never be able to check his pulse, not to mention to find out about his condition for they were separated from the prince by a screen.

Eunuch Sun was worried about the prince. He had been pacing up and down outside of the prince’s bedroom since earlier in the day. When the imperial physicians left the room, he quickly went up and asked, “How is it? What’s the diagnosis for the Little Seventh Prince?”

When they were asked, the imperial physicians appeared rather embarrassed. They scratched their heads and replied guilty, “Little Seventh Prince refused to let us check on him.”

“What do you mean?” Suddenly, the Retired Emperor appeared. When he received the news about his severely ill grandson, he hurriedly rushed over to visit the boy without changing away his official garment. He even left the uncertified edicts behind.

Eunuch Sun was actually waiting for the Retired Emperor all this while.

The faces of all the imperial physicians turned pale as they knelt before the Retired Emperor.

However, the Retired Emperor did not have the time to stop and listen to the imperial physicians’ defense and excuses. He entered the room and went past the screen.

The stubborn little boy was lying on the bed while staring at the ceiling. He put on a solemn expression as he pondered on what to eat later.

The Retired Emperor’s heart wrenched when he noticed the grumpy pout on the pretty little face. His grandson had never ever fallen sick. He was always a healthy and strong boy. It was a rare scene of him lying down quietly.

The boy used to frolic within the mountains with absolutely no issue. It was shocking to see him falling ill after a mere visit to the provincial capital.

“Little Seven, tell Imperial Grandfather. Where does it hurt?”

The little boy answered succinctly, “My stomach hurts.”

“Your stomach hurts?” The Retired Emperor reached out to stroke the soft and small belly. Puzzled, he lifted his eyebrows. Little Seven’s stomach is not bloated. Perhaps, he is feeling hungry?

However, it was impossible for Little Seven to starve himself when he could even consume a living fish.

“What happened?” The Retired Emperor turned to look at Shadow, who had been following him closely.

Not knowing how to answer, Shadow’s gaze wavered…

The little boy did not forget about the task his Third Brother assigned him. He said with a sombre expression, “Someone forcefully sold me a basket of prawns.”

“Are you not full yet?” The Retired Emperor deduced according to his beloved Imperial Grandson’s usual habit. “Send my order to the Imperial Kitchen. Tell them to braise the prawns!”

The boy smacked his lips, almost drooling when he heard about the braised prawns. However, he knew that he could not eat before he finished his job.

“I’m not hungry. The terrible restaurant served me putrid prawns. My stomach began to hurt after I finished the dish. However, when I tried to argue with them, they told me that they were backed by an influential figure.”

The little boy wrapped himself with the blanket before he turned his back to the Retired Emperor. Then, he put on a pitiful expression as though he wanted to be left alone because the world had disappointed him.

This boy was such a good actor.

“This is ridiculous!” The Retired Emperor was enraged. He reckoned that he was unbiased as he defended his grandson. After all, other than being a glutton, his favorite Little Seven had never caused trouble to anyone else. He was appalled to discover that someone actually fed the boy with rancid prawns!

Upset, he ordered Shadow in a frigid tone, “Shadow, where did Little Seven have his meal?”

It was a simple question. Shadow dropped his head and answered, “Little Seventh Prince had it at the Bayview Seafood Restaurant which is located in the provincial capital…”
