“My dear…” Qi Fang was frowning slightly.

Yue"er was, after all, a prince. How could his master be a random person? Moreover, they knew nothing about the ident.i.ties of these people. How could they leave Yue"er with them and feel at ease?

The empress"s expression stiffened. “If you won"t help Yue"er put in a good word, that"s fine, but how can you stop him from doing what he wants? I don"t care as long as he"s happy.”

For some reason, after hearing the empress"s words, Feng Ruqing glanced at the empress oddly. There was a complicated emotion behind her gaze.

“State Preceptor, don"t you think this little fatty is just like who I was before?”

Back then, Feng Tianyu had also indulged her body"s original owner in becoming this way. The only difference was that Feng Tianyu would still educate her, but this empress… was just spoiling him endlessly.

Nan Xian smiled calmly. “That"s true.”

“Yeah.” Feng Ruqing smiled. Her grin was laced with sarcasm as her gaze at the empress became sharp. “I"m not sure if you"re the little fatty"s biological mother.”

The empress was stunned. Her expression darkened. “What do you mean, Miss?”

“If I hadn"t known, I"d have thought you were his stepmother.”

Stepmother?

The empress"s expression was completely sunken. “If I"m his stepmother, would I adore him this much? Miss, it"s true that I was indiscriminate earlier and that Lianyi has tricked me. I was at fault, and I will admit it, but you can"t deny my motherly love for my Yue"er.”

“Spoiling your child is like murdering him. Do you understand?” Feng Ruqing smirked. “It"s no wonder that he"s this arrogant and obnoxious. He won"t even respect anyone and is reckless enough to rush into the spirit beast mountain on his own. Did you ever think that if Feng Lianqing and I did not show up in time, he would have lost his life?”

The empress paled slightly, and her body trembled.

If… it was not for this young lady and Feng Lianqing… Yue"er would have really been gone!

“The way I see it, because of your indulgence and adoration, this little fatty must have bullied the guards in the palace frequently to the point that when he leaves the palace gates, no one will dare to stop him.” Feng Ruqing sauntered over to the empress with her heavy aura. “Hence, he has gained the opportunity to enter the spirit beast mountain. But if you let the palace guards know that both of you are the true owner of the palace, would they have disobeyed you and let him go out on his own?”

The empress staggered a little with her hands clenched into fists. She bit down hard on her lip.

It happened the last time when those guards had allowed Yue"er to leave on his own.

It was the same this time. She had clearly instructed them not to let Yue"er leave the palace but they still let him out, only because they would rather disobey her than disobey Yue"er!

“Children are born a blank slate. It is how you paint on this paper that matters. I don"t believe in naturally born-wild children. They"re just spoiled. When faced with such wild children, you just have to hit them. If he keeps misbehaving, just hit him again. Hit him until he listens. Boys have thicker and rougher skin. He"s not a little girl, so are you afraid he"ll break?” Feng Ruqing smirked and asked.

“What"s more, he can"t be so lucky all the time. There are numerous skilled men in this Land of No Return. Wu Shang City is just the tip of an iceberg. If this wild child grows up to provoke someone outside… wouldn"t he be dragging Wu Shang City down?”
