When Zhui Feng was being cursed at, he was filled with annoyance. He glared at Xiao Sis back and prepared to ignore him.

This brats mouth is this bad, just let him be beaten to death by the Empress Dowager.

He gave a snort and found a hidden place to hide himself. He was going to wait for doctor Zhang to finish treating the Empress Dowager to escort doctor Zhang back.

But when he calmed down and thought about it, the things Xiao Si cursed him with werent unreasonable.

This brat Xiao Si was very smart and had many ideas. When the emperor gave him errands and he couldnt understand them, it was Xiao Si who gave him ideas which allowed him to figure out the emperors thoughts.

If one was to mention who understood the emperors thoughts the best, it was Xiao Si!

If Xiao Si was really beaten to death by the Empress Dowager, how hurt would the emperor be! Even if the emperor wasnt hurt by this, he, Zhui Feng would still be hurt.

After all, Xiao Si had indeed helped him many times.

Fine, fine, fine, hell go and find the emperor. He hoped that the emperor wouldnt punish him on account of Xiao Si.

Zhui Fengs figure swayed and he silently disappeared from the Peaceful Life Palace.

Xiao Si, if you dont want to suffer, tell this widow the honest truth. Where is the emperor!

In the Peaceful Life Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting in a seat, sharply staring at Xiao Si.

Xiao Si couldnt stand up from being bound and he kneeled on the ground. He didnt even dare look up, only kowtowing his head.

Empress Dowager, this servant really doesnt know where the emperor is. Even if this servants guts were as large as the sky, this servant would not dare lie to the Empress Dowager. He knew that disaster was coming today. The Empress Dowager was truly angered and his little life might be lost in this Peaceful Life Palace.

He looked over and saw that the guards already had big sticks that were thicker than their arms and they were painted red. This was the palaces largest punishment stick and as long as they hit, one would either die or be crippled.

Xiao Si kept crying inside his heart. Emperor, ah emperor, if you leave without a word, at least take this servant with you. Now the Empress Dowager is going to beat this servant to death. When you return to the palace, you wont be able to see Xiao Si anymore.

Very good. This dog servant refuses to talk, someone, time for the large punishment! Empress Dowager Zhous expression was soft, but it allowed no discussion. She even ignored Su Jin who wanted to ask for mercy for Xiao Si.

After a pause, she then said, If he doesnt talk, then beat him until he does. If he never talks, then beat him to death!

The guards gave sounds of acknowledgement. They brought a bench over and put Xiao Si over it before raising their sticks.

Xiao Sis soul flew out in fear as he began to beg.

Empress Dowager, mercy! This servant really doesnt know where the emperor is! Empress Dowager, on account of me serving the emperor all these years without asking for any merit, please show mercy! It doesnt matter to you if you beat this lowly servant to death, but if the emperor comes back and doesnt see this servant, he will certainly be sad. You are the emperors mother, can you bear to see him being hurt?

Although he was engulfed in terror, he still worked hard to find a way to persuade Empress Dowager Zhou. His mind was quick and his mouth kept going. These words did have some sense to it and it indeed made Empress Dowager Zhou hesitate a bit.

The guards in charge of the punishment all looked at each other, feeling like they couldnt do it.

They all knew that Xiao Si was the emperors most trusted little eunuch. They normally didnt even have time to curry favour with him, how could they dare offend him.
