Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 263
The person blocking the way was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, with a cold expression on his face. He was Xu Zhi, the Little Huai King who was supposed to be guarding King Huai's coffin in the mourning hall at this time.

"My lord, why are you here?"

Butler Zhao looked astonished.

Hearing Steward Zhao call him little prince instead of prince, Xu Zhi was a little unhappy, and waved his hand impatiently.

"This king and these three sky surveyors have something to say, you go down first."

"But..." Seeing the cold expression on Xu Zhi's face, Housekeeper Zhao felt that something was wrong and hesitated.

"Ok?"

Steward Zhao's body shook, he didn't dare to say any more, he bowed his head and turned back.

Xu Zhi looked at the back of Butler Zhao leaving, and a look of dissatisfaction and coldness flashed in his eyes.

Since the master gave the order, the servants should obey immediately, how dare they hesitate!

He was very dissatisfied with Butler Zhao, not only because of the hesitation he showed just now, but also because of Butler Zhao's attitude towards him in the mourning hall.

His father is dead, he inherited the throne, and the new owner of the palace is naturally him.

But when Li Qiu and others came, he actually chose to report the news to his concubine mother instead of him, and after reporting the news to his concubine mother, he completely ignored him, as if he, the prince and the new master of the palace, would not same as existence.

Xu Zhi knew that Steward Zhao was an old servant who came with his mother and concubine when she married into the palace, and he had a deep friendship with his mother and concubine as master and servant.

But if a servant makes the master unhappy, it's time for him to leave.

The thought of finding a reason to dismiss Butler Zhao flashed across Xu Zhi's mind, so he looked away and looked at Li Qiu.

Li Qiu looked at the Little Huai King who had just inherited the throne in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He has always been very sensitive to other people's eyes and gaze.

When he was in the mourning hall, he sensed that little Huai Wang was looking at him with malice hidden in his eyes.

Stopping them at this time must have malicious intentions.

"My king heard from my mother and concubine that the three adults were sent by the court to hunt down the sky patrol who killed my father's ghost."

Xu Zhi said in a cold tone.

"My lord, if you have nothing urgent to do, you'd better get out of the way quickly."

"Because every moment of delay, we find that ghost, and the possibility of avenging your father becomes smaller!"

Li Qiu didn't want to talk to him, so he said coldly.

A gloomy look flashed in Xu Zhi's eyes, and his words were somewhat angry.

"That's exactly what this king wants to say!"

"Oh? I don't know what advice the little prince has?"

Li Qiu's tone was still cold.

Xu Zhi suppressed his anger, his face became cold again.

"I don't dare to teach you. This king just wants to remind a few adults. No matter what Xun Tiansi said to the three, I only hope that the three can do their best and kill the ghost to avenge my father."

"Otherwise... at the emperor's place, this king may inevitably have to join the three adults for a book!"

Xu Zhi's words hide needles, with thorns everywhere, slightly yin and yang, which makes people very uncomfortable.

Li Qiu narrowed his eyes and said with a little disdain.

"My lord, are you threatening me?"

Xu Zhi didn't seem to understand the meaning of Li Qiu's words.

"You may think so."

"Although the three are first-rank and second-rank officials of the imperial court, I hope the three don't forget that this world belongs to our Xu family after all. To put it bluntly...you are just servants with foreign surnames."

Mu Fei and Wang Yuan who were behind Li Qiu heard what Xu Zhi said, their expressions were astonished and unbelievable.

It was fine for Xu Zhi to threaten and mock them, but he dared to say the same to Li Qiu.

They wondered if this little prince, who had just inherited the throne, didn't know what a rank-[-] Skyscanner represented.

Maybe it doesn't matter if Xu Zhi threatens other first-rank officials who don't have much power. After all, he is a member of the royal family and has inherited the throne of Duke Huai.

But if he is doing this to a first-rank official who holds a lot of power, he will be a little confused about his weight as an idle prince, especially when he said this to a first-rank sky surveyor.

As a Martial Saint, the emperor should pay three points of respect. He is just a little idle prince, how dare he be so presumptuous in front of a Martial Saint!

In fact, Mu Fei and Wang Yuan guessed right, Xu Zhi really didn't know what a rank-[-] Skyscanner represented, and he didn't know the weight of himself as an idle prince.

The only son of an ordinary family is doubly loved, not to mention the family of a prince who should have many heirs.

Although Duke Huai had many wives and concubines and loved to go outside to find flowers and ask willows, it may be due to some physical problems. He had only one son, Xu Zhi, in his life, and he was doted on, almost to the point of spoiling him. The same is true for Princess Huai.

As a result, although Xu Zhi did not do things that would damage the face of the royal family, such as robbing civilian women in the street and bullying the market, he was no different from ordinary dandies in other respects, he only knew how to enjoy and have fun.

It wasn't until Duke Huai died unexpectedly and succeeded to the throne that he changed slightly, became interested in power, and became more arrogant.

After hearing Xu Zhi's words, Li Qiu finally no longer had a cold expression on his face, but turned into a cold one.

He looked at Xu Zhi with a dangerous sternness in his eyes.

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from the corner, Princess Huai, who turned pale and frightened, turned out of the corner in panic, followed by Butler Zhao, who was also pale and frightened.

After Steward Zhao was driven away by Xu Zhi, he recalled the look on Xu Zhi's face and always felt that the situation was not good, so he immediately went to the mourning hall to find Princess Huai and told her about the matter.

When Xu Zhi left the mourning hall, he found a reason and lied. When Princess Huai heard that Xu Zhi was looking for Li Qiu, she felt bad. She was Xu Zhi's mother, so how could she not understand Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi didn't know what a rank-[-] Skyscanner represented, and it was very likely that his words would collide and offend Li Qiu.

Thinking of this, she hastily comforted the guests who came to mourn Duke Huai, and immediately left the mourning hall with Steward Zhao and headed straight for this place.

Princess Huai didn't care about her manners along the way, she hurried to stop Xu Zhi in time.

Unexpectedly, when they reached the corner, Princess Huai and Steward Zhao happened to hear Xu Zhi's last words, and they turned pale with fright.

How dare Xu Zhi speak to a martial sage like this, calling him a servant!
Concubine Huai led Steward Zhao, his face turned pale, and he turned out of the corner in panic.

"Mother concubine."

Seeing the sudden appearance of Princess Huai, Xu Zhi instinctively flashed panic in his eyes, and shouted.

He lied and left the mourning hall, without telling Princess Huai, he came here.

Snapped!
Concubine Huai's face was full of fear and anger, and she rushed up, slapping Xu Zhi hard in the face!

Xu Zhi covered his face with clear red palm prints, and looked at Princess Huai in astonishment and bewilderment.

He was directly slapped by Princess Huai's slap, he thought he lied and slipped out of the mourning hall, and came here to meet Li Qiu without telling Princess Huai, Princess Huai would at most reprimand him a few words, but who would have thought that he would come up with a slap.

The number of times Princess Dahuai hit him since he was a child can be counted on the fingers, and it is the first time that such a heavy one has been hit!
The most important thing is to be merciless in front of outsiders and let him lose face!

Xu Zhi felt a burning pain on his face, and a surge of anger arose in his heart, his face turned red and he was about to explode.

Snapped!
Seeing the change in Xu Zhi's expression, it was obvious that she didn't know what mistake she had made, so Princess Huai was angry and anxious, and slapped her hard with her backhand!

"Nizi! What did you say to Lord Li and the two adults! You still haven't apologized to them!"

Xu Zhi was completely terrified, the anger in his heart dissipated, and instead he felt an instinctive fear of Princess Huai.

Although Princess Huai doted on Xu Zhi since she was a child, it doesn't mean that Xu Zhi has no fear of her.

When parents get angry, children will instinctively fear and fear, and Xu Zhi is no exception. At this time, he also forgot that he inherited the throne not long ago and became the master of the palace.

Facing Princess Huai, Xu Zhi's eyes dodged, and his tone of voice was three points weaker, but he was still a little bit aggrieved.

"Impossible, I am the lord of the prince, how could I bow my head to him."

"you……"

Princess Huai raised her hand again, Xu Zhi dodged instinctively.

Seeing that Xu Zhi could not be hit, Princess Huai let go of her hand, angry and anxious.

Her eyes were red, the pear blossoms were raining, she turned around and bowed to Li Qiu apologetically, with a hint of resentment for the failure of iron.

"Master Li, I'm really sorry!"

"The little concubine is incapable of discipline, and let Nizi run afoul of Lord Li and the two adults, and the little concubine is apologizing to the three adults on his behalf!"

"I also hope that Master Li and the two adults, Nizi just experienced the pain of losing his father not long ago, and he was insane for a while and slipped his words. Don't be as knowledgeable as him!"
