The words of a little brat could not be trusted.
“Get out here,” he said.
At this, Jun Ning started trembling. She pointed in the direction across from her and cried, “Fire, fire, fire…”
Her eyes were streaming with tears. It was scary.
The crowd still did not believe her. However, the child looked truly frightened. They realized that the kid might not be pretending.
“Is there really a fire? Otherwise, why would this little brat be shaking like this?”
The crowd spoke in unison, then stood up straight and followed Jun Ning’s gaze.
Jun Ning took the opportunity to wriggle out and run out of the imperial kitchen.
The little kid moved nimbly and her escape was very fast. Like a rabbit, she quickly ran out of the imperial kitchen.
“There’s no fire!”
“This little brat is lying. You can’t believe him.”
By the time the crowd realized that they had been tricked, Jun Ning had already rushed out of the imperial kitchen.
“The little brat’s acting was quite realistic just now! He actually managed to deceive people of our age. D*mn, this is embarrassing.”
“I’ll break your legs for lying to me.”
Chef Liu picked up the spatula on the chopping board and rushed out of the imperial kitchen in a rage.
He would not stop until he caught this little brat and broke his legs.
The people who were close with Chef Liu also followed him out, wanting to help Chef Liu catch the little thief.
However, an adult’s body was not as agile as a child’s, and the roads in the palace were full of narrow, winding paths. Jun Ning either hid behind the stone lions or hid in the dense forest. She had a long and winding escape route, and these people would not be able to catch her.
The longer Chef Liu spent trying to catch her, the more he felt like he had been played. It was very embarrassing, and he became more and more indignant.
At this moment, he could not care about his dignity or rules of any kind.
He was stubborn and his heart was set on catching the thief. He wanted to catch him and beat him.
As a result, the people got to see something particularly interesting today. They saw a little boy running desperately away from a group of people pursuing him. The people chasing him held onto spatulas, rolling pins, and wooden utensils as they ran. These people all looked fierce.
Those who did not know better would think that these people were about to kill runaway pigs.
Concubine Liu, who was strolling nearby, saw this and asked in confusion, “What are those people from the imperial kitchen chasing?”
“I’m not sure, but seeing how fierce they are, could it be that some living creature from the imperial kitchen has escaped? The chefs might be concerned about it running into people, so they’re chasing after it.” The nanny beside her offered a possible explanation.
“It’s possible. Then let’s go back quickly,” said Concubine Liu. “We don’t want to be in their way.”
“Let’s go, master. ”
Just as the master was about to leave with her servants, Concubine Liu saw the emperor’s imperial carriage close in on the imperial kitchen.
“No, granny, we can’t leave yet.” Concubine Liu looked worriedly at the person on the imperial carriage. “We have to go and stop the emperor’s imperial carriage from moving forward. Otherwise, they might run into him.”
The nanny followed Concubine Liu’s gaze. “Master, let’s hurry over. Otherwise, it’ll be too late.”
“Alright,” she said.
Concubine Liu and her servants hurried toward Emperor Yong Ning’s imperial carriage, trying to intercept the hoard before they ran into Emperor Yong Ning.
Because she was too anxious, Concubine Liu tripped and twisted her ankle. However, she was only concerned about the emperor’s safety and did not have time to care about the pain in her foot.
After she got up, she continued to run forward with a limp.
