After hearing his words, some timid individuals left the room. In the end, only Luo Bingbing and her two companions remained in the private room, along with two young men in the adjacent room who did not leave.
Inside the private room, Li Jingshan immediately understood that the general was looking for the little one in front of him, who was also his master, upon hearing the general's words.
Hearing someone disrespect his master on his territory ignited his temper. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door while loudly saying, "Which bastard is making a ruckus here and disturbing my master's peace?"
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the deputy generals beside the general downstairs reprimanded him loudly, "You audacious commoner, how dare you be so disrespectful to General Lan! Seize him!"
"Yes." As soon as the deputy general finished speaking, many soldiers around responded immediately.
When those guards saw that Li Jingshan was upstairs, they hurriedly rushed up to capture him.
However, before they could start climbing the stairs, a clear and youthful voice rang out from within the tavern. It was Luo Bingbing, who loudly said, "Dongfang, isn't your emperor a bit too cowardly? Even a mere general can make you 'roll' away."
Bang...
It was like a thunderclap in broad daylight!
The speaker had intentions, and the listeners were even more intrigued; thus, this thunderous remark instantly stirred up a commotion.
Indeed, the two individuals in the adjacent room to Luo Bingbing were none other than His Majesty of the Silver Moon Kingdom and his personal bodyguard, Mo Xuan. However, they had disguised themselves.
In the entire tavern, aside from the little one who spoke, everyone else was astonished by her words, including His Majesty Dongfang Hao.
Despite having changed his appearance to the point where he was unrecognizable, how did that little one know he was right next door?
Although he felt puzzled, as an upper-class individual, he quickly composed himself. He went to wash off his disguise in a nearby basin of water and instantly returned to his original appearance.
However, he did not immediately go outside because he had come to watch a show—specifically, he had come to see Luo Bingbing's performance.
As soon as Luo Bingbing left the palace, his Dark Guard immediately returned to report to him. He quickly disguised himself and left the palace, wanting to find out what that Little One was doing out on the streets.
Although he couldn't determine the purpose of the Little One's outing, he gained a deeper understanding of her true abilities.
The Nursemaid was quite surprised after hearing her Little Princess's words, as she had not seen any sign of the Emperor recently.
Looking at her Little Princess with confusion, she concluded that her Little Princess was intentionally claiming the Emperor was present to scare off the soldiers outside using his name.
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the Poet Sage Li Jingshan was not only astonished by her impolite way of addressing the Emperor by his surname but also puzzled.
The Little One had been in the private room all along and had not come out, and he himself had remained in that private room without seeing anyone else enter. He couldn't help but wonder where the Emperor mentioned by the Little One could be.
Suddenly, he recalled that two Young Men had passed by the entrance of that private room earlier. After scanning the tavern, he noticed that aside from those in the private room behind him and those in the adjacent room who hadn't come out, everyone else had already exited their rooms.
Thus, he became increasingly certain that the Emperor of the Silver Moon Kingdom was indeed in his tavern, specifically in the private room next door.
At the same time, he speculated about the identity of his master, that Little One, who knew the Emperor well enough to casually call him by his surname—she must have significant connections.
When General Lan and his soldiers heard the Little One claim that the Emperor was present, fear gripped them, causing their forward steps to halt.
However, they only paused for a moment because they had not heard any response from Your Majesty nor seen any sign of him. So they resumed their actions.
The patrons in the tavern thought they could avoid disaster because the Emperor was there, but upon realizing he had not appeared at all, they were all greatly disappointed and secretly blamed that Little One for her nonsense.
In truth, Luo Bingbing's direct revelation of Dongfang Hao's true identity was also an act of revenge for having someone follow her secretly!
Seeing Dongfang Hao remain in the adjacent private room without coming out while those soldiers were about to take action again made Luo Bingbing's lips curve into a sly smile as she thought, "Dongfang Hao, you think you can just sit back and enjoy the show? Not a chance."
Then she exclaimed something even more shocking: "That person named Dongfang—hasn't he been Emperor long enough to consider becoming a coward?"
As soon as everyone felt the tense atmosphere closing in, the thunderous words of the Little One echoed in their ears again. "Landmine! Landmine!" And this Landmine was even more explosive than the last.
Dongfang Hao furrowed his brows tightly, clearly displeased; the emperor's authority had been directly attacked and provoked.
In the tavern, aside from the Nursemaid and the Poet Sage Li Jingshan, everyone else thought that the Little One who spoke those words must be either impatient with life or had lost their mind.
Both the Nursemaid and Li Jingshan felt a deep sense of worry after hearing the Little One's words, fearing that His Majesty would punish that Little One.
General Lan, after hearing Luo Bingbing's words twice and seeing that the emperor had not appeared, concluded that the emperor was not present at all. He believed those two sentences were deliberately said by the Little Doll to make him withdraw and spare her.
Having come to this realization, he immediately shouted loudly to Luo Bingbing upstairs, "You insolent girl, the emperor is not here at all; don't think you can scare me with his name."
At this point, he paused slightly before continuing, "Even if the emperor were here right now, he couldn't save your life. In front of him, I could still execute you on the spot."
Luo Bingbing was about to retort when someone else spoke up before she could.
Indeed, it was none other than our Your Majesty Dongfang Hao, who calmly said, "Oh, is that so?"
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing significant about it, but upon reflection, it felt rich with meaning and quite intriguing.
General Lan was momentarily taken aback by Emperor Dongfang Hao's words. In his understanding, the emperor should not be present at all.
Realizing what he had just said made him break into a cold sweat; he even forgot to kneel and pay his respects to Dongfang Hao.
After Dongfang Hao finished speaking, he led his Personal Bodyguard Mo Xuan out of the private room and into the corridor.
Seeing that they were still standing there foolishly without any intention of bowing to him, Dongfang Hao couldn't help but frown slightly and remarked in a teasing tone, "It seems that I truly hold no position in your hearts at all!"
Upon hearing Emperor Dongfang Hao's words, everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted him, shouting, "Long live My Emperor! Long live! Long live!"
General Lan bowed and quickly explained to Dongfang Hao, "I truly did not know Your Majesty was here. I am deeply sorry for disturbing Your Majesty!"
"I believe I just heard you say, my dear Lan, that even if I were here, you would not be able to stop yourself from killing the Ice Princess, is that correct?" Dongfang Hao asked casually.
Upon hearing His Majesty's words, everyone realized that the one who had just spoken was actually a royal princess! No wonder she was so bold and arrogant! Dongfang Hao seemed to feel that his previous statement lacked detail, so he continued to reveal more: "And aren't you afraid that Lord Lo An will come after you? She is his most beloved youngest daughter!"
Li Jingshan, standing nearby, was not particularly surprised by Dongfang Hao's revelation, as he had already guessed the identity of his Little Master was anything but ordinary.
However, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think to herself, "Damn Dongfang Hao, you clearly want to watch the tiger fight from the mountain!"
When General Lan heard that the Little One was the youngest daughter of his nemesis, Lord Lo An, his anger flared up instantly. He directly addressed Dongfang Hao, saying, "Your Majesty, that princess nearly took my Little Girl's life a while back. I implore Your Majesty to seek justice for me!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Hao felt that he had already stoked enough flames for today; it was sufficient for Lord Lo An and Lan Zhiguang to clash for a while.
Yet he still needed to find a way to get closer to that Little Doll. So he decided to do a favor for Luo Bingbing. He slowly said, "I recall being present at the time and saw your daughter actively seeking trouble with the Ice Princess."
Upon hearing His Majesty's words, Lan Zhiguang understood that Emperor Dongfang Hao was subtly protecting the Little Doll. With the emperor backing her up, he naturally dared not make any further moves or send people to capture Luo Bingbing.
However, he thought that while he couldn't capture the Little Doll, surely he could apprehend that troublesome commoner who called him a "bastard"!
Thus, he pointed at Poet Sage Li Jingshan and advised Emperor Dongfang Hao, "Your Majesty, that commoner might be a spy from another country. For safety's sake, please allow me to take him in for questioning."
Dongfang Hao turned his head slightly to look at Poet Sage standing at the door of the private room and said sternly to Lan Zhiguang, "A spy? Are you trying to provoke a war among the four nations?"
"I would never dare," Lan Zhiguang replied, looking at Dongfang Hao with a puzzled expression.
Li Jingshan noticed Emperor Dongfang Hao looking at him and out of courtesy walked up to him, slightly bowing as he said, "I have long heard of Silver Moon Emperor's wise governance; seeing it today truly confirms it."
"Wherever could I deserve such praise? I have long admired Poet Sage's reputation."
As soon as Dongfang Hao mentioned the title of the Poet Sage, the people around couldn't help but exclaim, "So this Gray-Robed Elder is the renowned Poet Sage Li Jingshan!"
Seeing the admiration in the eyes of those around him, Li Jingshan did not show any arrogance. Instead, he sincerely said, "I feel quite ashamed. Although I am honored by the World's People as the Poet Sage, my talents are not even a fraction of those of the Ice Princess."
After a brief pause, he continued, "However, I have just taken the Ice Princess as my master. I believe that in the future, my literary skills will surely reach new heights."
Another thunderous shock resonated in everyone's hearts, but this time it was not caused by Luo Bingbing; it was from Poet Sage Li Jingshan himself.
Upon hearing Li Jingshan's words, waves of astonishment surged within them, and they firmly remembered the name of the Ice Princess from Prince Luo's Residence.
Lan Zhiguang, who was astonished yet again, realized that he could not capture that Little Doll or confront Li Jingshan, who had called him a bastard. He had no choice but to take his leave from Emperor Dongfang Hao and depart from the tavern with his soldiers, tails tucked between their legs.
Once the soldiers left, everyone felt a sense of safety and turned their attention to the entrance of the private room to see what the Ice Princess from Prince Luo's Residence looked like.
However, there was still a Your Majesty present, so while they had the desire to look, they lacked the courage.
Dongfang Hao noticed that the Little One had not come out for quite some time and teased, "Little Doll, have you also changed your ways and turned into a timid turtle?"
He expected that as soon as he spoke, the Little One would appear before him. However, after several minutes passed, there was still no sign of her.
Seeing this, Poet Sage Li Jingshan turned and called into the private room, "Master, Master." Yet again, there was no response from inside.
Thus, they both walked toward the private room. Upon entering, they found it completely empty—there wasn't even a shadow of anyone inside, let alone Luo Bingbing.
