Fortunately, heaven has eyes, and let them encounter the Old Shopkeeper.

Rumor has it that this Old Shopkeeper is Zhao Yin’s senior brother, who disapproved of Zhao Yin and the Emperor’s actions, so he stepped in to rescue those dozen little kids.

That night, the people watching at the inn described the events with vivid detail...

"I saw with my own eyes the Old Shopkeeper performing Gu Solving with the little kids, cutting a piece of flesh from Zhao Yin to lure out the Gu insects from inside the little kids. Each little kid had thousands of Gu insects inside, and the Old Shopkeeper pricked a small wound on their fingers. Those Gu insects, smelling the flesh and blood of Zhao Yin, swiftly emerged from the wounds, and in a flash, filled a bowl with Gu insects. Oh, dear heavens, it was so terrifying. Even thinking about it now makes my scalp tingle. I don’t know how those little kids survived. Alas! These people really have lost their conscience."

"What? You dare say the Emperor has lost his conscience, aren’t you afraid he’ll behead you!"

"Let him behead me then, at worst it’s just death. Anyway, with this kind of person as Emperor, we’ll never have any good days."

"Indeed! When will these days ever end? Clearly, the Fourth Prince is the source of the outbreak, but the Emperor refuses to deal with him, obviously shielding."

"This is a case of the upper beam being crooked, causing the lower beam to be askew. If the Emperor is this sinister, how good can the Fourth Prince be?"

"True! Thankfully, we still have the War Prince, otherwise Moli Country would truly be doomed."

Ever since the Insect Persons’ affair was exposed, such discussions could be heard all around the streets and alleys.

It’s said that the Emperor’s actions have damaged the imperial prestige, and he is truly unfit to be the Emperor of Moli Country.

Upon hearing this, the Emperor flew into another rage, but what could he do?

Zhao Yin seems to have vanished from the world, despite sending many people to search, not a bit of news has come.

"Damn Zhao Yin, find him for me, I absolutely will not let him go." The Emperor sat restlessly in the Imperial Study Room.

"Your Majesty, have a cup of hot tea to relieve fatigue." The little eunuch handed over a cup of hot tea.

"Drink what? At this moment, how can I be in the mood for tea!" In his fury, the Emperor slapped the teacup out of the little eunuch’s hand...

"Bang...!"

The teacup fell to the ground, tea splattering all over.

"Spare me, Your Majesty, I didn’t mean to." The little eunuch was scared to death, he fell to his knees, and vigorously kowtowed.

The Emperor frowned, roaring at the little eunuch: "Get out, don’t bother me."

The little eunuch wanted to leave, but the ground was littered with shards of porcelain, and he feared that if he accidentally wounded the Emperor, he’d be a capital offender.

"Your Majesty, there are so many broken porcelain pieces on the ground, let me clean them up before leaving." The little eunuch tremblingly said as he lay on the ground.

"Bang...!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor grabbed another teacup from the table and hurled it to the ground, bellowing: "I told you to get out, did you hear?"

The little eunuch was scared to death, and didn’t dare say anything anymore, he didn’t even dare to stand up, crawling out on his belly.

"Infuriating! This servant has no sense at all." The Emperor sat angrily on the Dragon Throne, possibly scolding for too long, he felt a bit thirsty, only to realize all the teacups had been smashed.

"Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi." The Emperor called out again.

The little eunuch was waiting at the door, and upon hearing the Emperor’s call, immediately responded, and ran in trembling.

Having just been chased out by the Emperor, now being called again, unsure of what was needed, the little eunuch’s heart pounded wildly.

The Emperor still angrily said: "I am thirsty, quickly pour a cup of tea."

The little eunuch was almost in tears, thinking, Emperor, I just offered you tea, didn’t you say you weren’t thirsty? Now that all the teacups are smashed, why are you thirsty again?
