Chapter 180 Why is Stone so dog-like?

"Yes, I was originally in the mountains. Then a white tiger came and stopped me, trying to lead me down the mountain. I realized something was wrong, so I rushed over there."

Xie Yunchuan knew that Li Manyan planned to take the women to that place to pick flowers today, but he didn't expect Shengsheng to be there as well.

That makes sense, though. If it weren't for Sheng Sheng being there, Bai Hu wouldn't have bothered to ask him to rescue people.

"Aww!" Sheng Sheng remembered something and called to Zi Juan, "Sheng Sheng remembers they went this way. Were they looking for Stone? Zi Juan, hurry up and bring Stone out!"

The white tiger was extremely fast and knew that the stone was here, but so much time had passed and it hadn't appeared in the hunting grounds. It probably knew that its appearance would frighten people, so it didn't approach.

Sheng Sheng was quite reluctant to part with Shi Tou, thinking she would have to take care of him for at least ten days or half a month. Unexpectedly, the Bai Hu family came to pick up the child in just one day.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said listlessly, "I'm going to deliver the stones."

Now that Stone has left, who knows if we'll ever see him again?

The little guy always obediently called her "master," and even though they had only spent a few days together, he still felt a deep sense of reluctance to part with her.

Zijuan brought the stone over, the little guy's milk stains still wet at the corner of his mouth. He was a little unhappy about being interrupted while eating, but he immediately forgot about it when he saw Shengsheng and started wagging his tail happily.

It's clearly a little white tiger, but why does Stone always seem a bit dog-like?

The little dumpling weakly hugged the stone, who licked her cheek and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Sheng Sheng cuddled with Shi Tou for a while, still happy that Shi Tou could return to his family. She quickly composed herself and said...

"Stone, Stone, your mother and the others have come to pick you up. The Wolf King is dead, you can go home now!"

"Really!" Stone exclaimed excitedly. "Where is Mother? Where is Father?"

Sheng Sheng had never met Stone's father, and she didn't know if any of the other four white tigers had Stone's father.

Sheng Sheng could only say, "I don't know if your dad has arrived yet. Let me take you to find them now."

Stone nodded frantically: "Okay!"

Xie Yunqi and Xie Yunjia were both stunned. Xie Yunqi exclaimed, "Wow, this little tiger can actually understand human speech! It's so smart, nodding and shaking its head."

Xie Yunjia didn't speak, and her expression didn't change.

Just as Xie Yunchuan was about to call a few Imperial Guards to escort Shengsheng to the woods to find the white tigers, Eunuch Hou came running over with a whisk in hand.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

"Eunuch Hou?"

The old eunuch Hou frowned, panting as he read through the entire story. He let out a long sigh of relief: "Oh dear, I heard that the Second Princess encountered a pack of wolves again on her trip. That was so worrying! Seeing that the Second Princess is alright, this old servant is relieved!"

Eunuch Hou was an old man by Xie Yuxiao's side. The group of people had been watched by Eunuch Hou since they were young, and they respected him very much. They also had a good relationship with each other in private.

Xie Yunqi had Xiao Quanzi hand a handkerchief to Eunuch Hou: "Eunuch Hou, wipe your sweat. Look how much you're sweating in this cold weather."

Eunuch Hou thanked the Fifth Prince and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief for a while: "Oh dear, it was His Majesty who was so anxious when he heard about this that he even abandoned the sika deer and immediately sent someone on horseback down the mountain to instruct this old servant to check if the Second Princess was safe and sound."

Xie Yuxiao has a foundation in martial arts and even led an army in his youth. However, he is now busy with government affairs and has no time to study horsemanship and archery like he did in his youth. He can only participate with young people during the annual hunting season.

Hearing that his father was worried, Xie Yunqi waved his hand casually: "Oh, Eunuch Hou, tell Father not to worry. Look, Sheng Sheng is perfectly fine. Our Sheng Sheng can even handle tigers, what are a few wolves?"

"Fifth Prince, His Majesty knows that the Second Princess is exceptionally intelligent, but His Majesty is a father, how could he not be worried?"

Sheng Sheng smiled and said, "Eunuch Hou, tell Father not to worry and not to go down the mountain. Father finally has some time to relax, and we can't let Sheng Sheng ruin it."

"Your Majesty is too worried. Judging by the time, Your Majesty should have already returned to the hunting grounds. Why don't you come with me, Second Princess, so that Your Majesty can see for yourself and put your mind at ease?"

"ah."

Sheng Sheng hesitated for a moment; she had intended to see Shi Tou off.

Xie Yunchuan saw through her thoughts and said, "Go ahead, I'll talk to Father. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with Father."

Eunuch Hou: "This... is fine. If the Second Princess has something to do, then go ahead. His Majesty will surely understand. Anyway, this old servant has seen that the princess is safe and sound. At worst, this old servant will speak to His Majesty on her behalf."

Sheng Sheng chuckled, "Yes, thank you, Eunuch Hou."

Eunuch Hou's smile deepened: "Oh, Second Princess, you flatter this old servant. There's no need for thanks."

With a comforting tone, Xie Yunchuan gently rubbed Shengsheng's little head.

Sheng Sheng tilted her head back and laughed, indicating that she was alright.

She's an invincible little dumpling, how could she possibly be sad over such a small thing?

Where there is gathering, there will naturally be parting; stones belong to nature.

Xie Yunchuan chuckled softly, took a few steps, and noticed Lu Chi, who had been silent in the corner, suddenly spoke up: "Young Master Lu, let's go together."

"Huh?" Lu Chi was taken aback. Why did the Second Prince invite him to see His Majesty?

However, Lu Chi couldn't very well say that he didn't want to see His Majesty, so he replied, "Yes."

Xie Yunchuan followed Eunuch Hou to Xie Yuxiao's tent to meet the Emperor. Sheng Sheng then planned to continue to see Shi Tou off.

Xie Yunjia, being a girl herself, naturally sensed the reluctance in Shen Sheng's voice and softly asked, "Would you like your elder sister to come with you?"

Sheng Sheng shook her head: "No need, Your Highness, I can manage on my own."

"Okay, then come to my place for dinner tonight. I'll have someone make you some braised pig's trotter soup." Xie Yunjia nodded, paused, and added, "Put a stove on the stove, and after you finish the pig's trotters, you can also boil any vegetables you want."

Sheng Sheng knew perfectly well that Xie Yunjia was just trying to coax her, so she immediately smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, then the pig's trotters should be stewed for a long time, so long that they fall off the bone when you bite into them!"

"Um."

Xiao Tao was the happiest when Sheng Sheng wanted to have dinner with Xie Yunjia.

Xie Yunjia finally had a bit of an appetite because of the Second Princess. Xiao Tao wished she could invite the Second Princess to their tent for every meal, so that their princess could always have a good appetite.

Xiao Tao immediately wrote down Sheng Sheng's request, thinking that she would have someone stew the pig's trotters later, guaranteeing that Sheng Sheng would eat them tender and fall off the bone when she ate them that night.
