Chapter 29 - Eating Overlord's Meal

Outside of the hall...

"Emperor has been inside for so long, why is there no movement?" The guard on the right was suspicious.

The guard on the left looked around, and when he did not see Duanmu Yan, he felt goosebumps all over his body: "Did something happen?"

"…" The guard on the right side: "..." Why don't we go in and take a look? "

The guard on the left hesitated for a moment before nodding.

The two of them walked into the Qianle Palace.

"Emperor! Are you there? Emperor... " The two guards called out for him, but no one answered after a few more calls. The uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger. They walked into the inner room, but when they looked inside, there was not a single person in sight.

A thump could be heard in their hearts.

"The Emperor and Emperor couldn't have been taken away by someone, right?" The guard on the right shouted.

The guard on the left shook his head, walked to the window, and looked at the footprints on the chair: "It should be Emperor that jumped out of the window with the little prince in his arms!"

"Then what should we do now? Looking for someone? Or go and notify Prince Regent? "

"Go and notify Prince Regent first!" The guard on the left smiled bitterly, thinking, they are probably going to suffer physical pain again.

"Emperor! Where are you going? " Guard looked at Duanmu Yan carrying the little prince, and felt that he was seeing things.

Duanmu Yan pursed her lips and put on a dignified look: "We are leaving the palace!"

"This, this …"

"What is it? I don't even have the right to leave the palace now? "Hmm?" Duanmu Yan imitated Gong Shengrui's tone and asked politely.

Guard quickly kneeled down: "This subordinate does not dare!"

Duanmu Yan laughed secretly, she did not expect to learn from that big bad guy, and become so useful.

"Since you don't dare, get out of my way!"

Guard kneeled straight, with no intention to give way. "Emperor! It is dangerous outside the palace, it is inappropriate for you to not bring any guards or maids! "

"I can protect myself, there's no need for you to worry!" Duanmu Yan tried his best to maintain the dignity of the Emperor, and his voice grew heavier: "If you don't move away, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Just as the Guard was at a loss of what to do, a rough looking man descended from the city wall.

"Since Emperor wants to leave the palace, it is naturally not good for us to stop him. Emperor, please!" Yan Xingjun extended his hand and made a 'please' gesture.

Duanmu Yan was ecstatic, but she kept it in.

"You're sensible!" Duanmu Yan said as she walked out of the palace.

The guard was puzzled. "Master! When Emperor leaves the palace alone, I am afraid that there will be danger. Why are you still … "

"I have my own intentions, you go and inform Prince Regent first, for the matters concerning the exit of Emperor, there is no need to ask about anything else!"

"..." "Yes!"

— —

It was the first time in Duanmu Yan's life that she had walked out of the palace. For a moment, anything she saw was a novelty.

Like a canary escaping from its cage, it was filled with curiosity and exploration of an unknown environment.

"..." "Sugar gourd, selling candied fruits …"

Duanmu Yan looked at the scene in surprise. A man was carrying a red candied flakes for sale, he could not help but follow along.

The man looked back. "You want to buy a bunch?"

Duanmu Yan nodded.

The man picked a bunch of big red candied fruits and passed them over to Duanmu Yan. "Our Old Chen family's candied fruits are famous for their delicious dishes, I guarantee that you will eat them once, and want to eat them a second time!"

Duanmu Yan's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"It's even more real than real gold!"

Duanmu Yan greedily licked the tip of her tongue and took it.

"Thank you!" Duanmu Yan thanked her and turned to leave.

When the man saw this, he blocked her path and said, "You haven't paid me the silver yet!"
