Meng Yu was caught off guard and was shocked by the scene.
At that moment, he even thought in his mind, could it be that someone in his family was involved in the rebellion?
Fortunately, the guards outside the door did not rush up and push him to the ground. Instead, the leader stepped forward and explained his purpose to Meng Yu in a friendly manner.
"We were sent by the prince and princess to protect the young master!"
Meng Yu finally understood what was going on. He quickly invited everyone to sit in the front hall, and then went back to tell Mrs. Ye about it.
Mrs. Ye also had a headache after hearing about this.
The child just wants to go home. Isn't it too much of an effort to mobilize so many guards?
But she has no right or position to say this.
Moreover, Qingtian’s identity is different now, and she is really afraid that something unexpected might happen along the way.
Even Elder Cen said, "It's our fault. We don't even have a servant to guard the house. No wonder Prince Rui's palace is worried."
After he finished speaking, he turned to Sister Ye and said, "If you need to leave the city again, remember to send someone to inform Prince Rui's mansion in advance."
Mrs. Ye also quickly said that she understood.
Unexpectedly, Meng Yu had the car ready and the guards were also ready to go. But when Qingtian went out and saw so many people, he immediately became unhappy.
"Mom, why do we have to bring so many people with us when we go home?" Qingtian's face was wrinkled. "If we bring them back, we won't even have a place to stay!"
Upon hearing this, the leading guard quickly said, "Young Master, we all have tents with us, so we can just find a place to set up camp.
"The prince and princess have instructed that the young master's life must not be disturbed."
Even though she said that, Qingtian still refused, and finally just started to cry.
Mrs. Ye couldn't coax her no matter what she did, and she said angrily, "Forget it, why don't we just not go back?"
The leading guard was also helpless, as this was not something he could decide.
But seeing Qingtian crying so sadly, he had no choice but to quickly send someone to report the matter to Prince Rui and Princess Rui.
Not long after they were born, Prince Rui and Princess Rui both came to the Cen Mansion.
The two people originally wanted to persuade Qingtian in person, hoping that she could accept and slowly adapt to a life where there is someone following her and protecting her wherever she goes.
Who knew what was wrong with Qingtian today? He was just determined and no one could stop him from crying.
Qingtian has always been well-behaved and has never thrown a tantrum like this for no reason.
Tears as big as beans flowed out of his eyes and then rolled onto his clothes.
Her little mouth was tightly pursed, and she looked pitiful, as if she was trying hard to hold back but couldn't.
Mrs. Ye's heart was almost broken by the child's crying.
But since they couldn't even coax her, Prince Rui and Princess Rui were even more helpless.
In the end, the two of them bargained hard and finally managed to reduce the number of twenty guards to two.
Prince Rui finally had no choice but to pat the guard's shoulder and say, "Pei You, pick someone to accompany you. From now on, the two of you will be responsible for protecting Qingtian. Do you understand?"
Pei You stood up straight after hearing this and said firmly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely use my life to protect the young master. Anyone who wants to harm the young master must first step over my body!"
After he finished speaking, he pointed out a young man from the group he brought with him and said, "Fan Yizhou, come with me to protect the young master!"
Pei You was still worried that Prince Rui would not trust Fan Yizhou, so he explained in a low voice: "Your Highness, although Fan Yizhou is young, he has a family background in martial arts and has practiced martial arts since he was young. He has excellent skills and is almost unmatched among the guards in the palace."
When the others heard Pei You say this, they did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, some of them nodded slightly in agreement.
The twenty people today are the best selected by Prince Rui from his own guards.
If even these people are convinced by Fan Yizhou, it means that his skills are really good.
Pei You is also quite skilled and experienced, making him a good match for Fan Yizhou.
Prince Rui nodded and said, "I'll leave Qingtian's safety to you."
After struggling for so long, almost an hour had passed.
Mrs. Ye wiped the tears from Qingtian's face and finally took her in a carriage out of the city gate.
Qingtian leaned on the carriage window, looking at Pei You and Fan Yizhou who were riding horses beside him. Although he didn't say anything, he was still a little depressed.
Mrs. Ye had never understood why Qingtian was so resistant before. Seeing that she was still calm, she finally couldn't help but hug her to her side and asked in a low voice.
"Don't you like these guards, Qingtian? They can protect you!
"This way, if you encounter any danger again, like last time, you won't be captured by bad guys again. Isn't that good?
"Besides, haven't you already lived in the palace for half a month? Are you still not used to having someone follow you?"
Mrs. Ye thought that Qingtian didn't like the guards following her, just like she didn't like being surrounded by a bunch of maids and servants to serve her.
Unexpectedly, Qingtian sighed like an adult, turned around and hugged Mrs. Ye's arm.
"Mom, everyone in the village thinks I'm your and dad's biological child.
“They are completely unaware of what’s happening in the capital.
"If I bring a large group of people back to the village and they all call me little master, how can I explain it to the villagers?
"Wouldn't that mean everyone would know that I'm not my parents' biological child?"
Mrs. Ye was stunned by Qingtian's words.
Otherwise, this child is smart!
If Qingtian hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have even thought about this relationship.
In fact, even Qingtian himself may not have figured it out.
She had just returned from Prince Rui's Mansion. The reason why she suddenly wanted to go back to the village so much, besides missing Old Lady Ye and her brothers, was that no one in the village knew her background and they all thought she was the child of Old Man Ye and Mrs. Ye.
Qingtian was not used to staying in the palace, so she urgently needed to find a place where she didn't know about these things to relieve her stress.
Of course, she was too young to think clearly about these things, let alone tell Mrs. Ye about her thoughts.
But she still instinctively rejected the palace guards, and didn't want the villagers to know her life experience.
Mrs. Ye hugged Qingtian in her arms and said, "Silly child, no matter whether others know it or not, you are your parents' daughter and their sweetheart.
"Think about it, don't your great-grandfather, grandfather, and cousin all know that you are not your parents' biological child?
"But what does it matter? This won't affect everyone's love and affection for you, right?
"You are so young, how can you have so many things on your mind?"
As soon as Mrs. Ye finished speaking, she heard Meng Yu say from outside: "It's not good for children to think too much. They will not grow taller."
Qingtian had just felt warm in her heart after hearing what Mrs. Ye said, but she started crying again after hearing this.
"Wow—I want to grow taller—"
