At this time, Prince Rui and Qin Songyin were talking to the person in charge of the gold mine outside the mine.
Qin Hexuan had been following Qingtian, but just now a group of miners walked out and pushed the two of them away.
Who knew that just as Qingtian left his sight, in just a blink of an eye, her terrified scream was heard from the mine.
Qin Hexuan pushed away the miner who was blocking his way and rushed in two steps at a time.
He didn't bother to ask what happened. His eyes were already red when he saw Qingtian squatting on the ground with his head in his hands begging for mercy.
Qin Hexuan kicked away Shan Laoda who was standing in front of Qingtian, and reached out to hold her shoulders. He was full of anxiety, but he still had to suppress his voice and asked softly: "Qingtian, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Before he finished speaking, Prince Rui rushed in from outside.
"What happened? What happened to Sunny?"
The person in charge of the gold mine followed and sternly asked the dozen or so people in the mine: "Who among you offended Her Royal Highness? Why don't you apologize immediately?"
When the people at the mine came to work early this morning, they heard that Prince Rui would bring the princess to the gold mine today.
The Jiapigou gold mine was originally explored and excavated by Prince Rui, so it was not surprising that the emperor sent him to inspect the gold mine again.
Only the leadership at the top knew that Prince Rui came here specifically to clean up the corrupt officials in the gold mine.
Now that the storm has just subsided, no one dares to run into the gunpoint.
The miners in the mine all shook their heads.
"Boss, we really didn't offend Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"That's right. We are all shoveling ore inside. Her Royal Highness the Princess just came in."
"Is it because the mine is too dark and we are all black and smelly that we scared Her Royal Highness?"
The miners did not know about the previous relationship between Boss Shan and Qingtian. They did not see Boss Shan bullying Qingtian, but he was kicked away by Qin Hexuan. They did not dare to say anything, but they were all standing up for Boss Shan in their hearts, and their tone was inevitably sarcastic when they spoke.
Only Boss Shan, who had been lying on the ground and hadn't gotten up, felt his heart beating like a drum.
Princess?
When did Qingtian become a princess?
Prince Rui bent down and picked up Qingtian, patting her back and asking in a low voice.
The manager of the gold mine immediately gestured to everyone to keep quiet.
Qingtian leaned on Prince Rui's strong shoulders, and the fear he had just felt subsided a little.
She didn't dare to turn around to confirm whether that person was Boss Shan. She held Prince Rui's clothes tightly with both hands and whispered, "Dad, let's go out. I'm a little scared here."
Prince Rui quickly carried Qingtian out of the mine, and Qin Hexuan followed closely behind.
Qin Songyin, who stayed outside, had already called the guards and surrounded the entrance of the mine. He was relieved to see that the three people came out safely.
Just as Prince Rui was about to ask someone to prepare a car and take Qingtian back to the inn to rest and ask for details, the person who had been asking around about which mine Boss Shan was working in today finally came over.
He had no idea what was going on here, and from a great distance away he shouted at the top of his voice, "Shan Boss, where are you? Come out quickly! Your wife is looking for you. She said your house is on fire and your son is injured!"
When Qingtian heard the words "Shan Lao Da", his body trembled again.
When Prince Rui heard this, he suddenly remembered something and his expression changed.
Qin Hexuan frowned and pursed his lips into a sharp arc.
Both of them turned their eyes to the mine entrance.
Boss Shan just suddenly learned that Qingtian had become a princess, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
So she simply took advantage of Qin Hexuan's kick and lay on the ground, holding her stomach and screaming, refusing to get up.
It was not until he heard someone outside shouting that his son was injured that he no longer cared about pretending. He jumped up and ran outside.
"Who's looking for me? What happened to my son?"
Qingtian immediately buried her face deeply in Prince Rui's shoulder, her body trembling slightly.
Prince Rui held his daughter in his arms, his eyes almost turning into sharp blades, and he wished he could let this kind old man be pierced by thousands of arrows and die on the spot.
Qin Hexuan clenched his fists and couldn't help but take a step forward, but Prince Rui stopped him by holding his shoulder.
"Uncle!" Qin Hexuan was a little anxious.
Prince Rui, however, signaled him to be patient.
The young manager who was looking for people everywhere came running over breathlessly, only to find that all the big shots in the mine had gathered here.
"What's the matter with you?" The manager of the gold mine was so angry that his nose was almost crooked. He thought to himself that he had repeatedly warned them early this morning to work honestly and be careful with their words and actions, so why did they have to make such a fuss in front of Prince Rui!
"I'm here to see Boss Shan..." The steward carefully repeated the story.
When he heard that it was a family accident, the manager's expression relaxed and he said to Shan Laodao: "Since it is a family accident, then you should go back and take a look. If you have any difficulties, don't handle it by yourself. The mine will do its best to help you."
This is Wen Zonglin's consistent style, and Jiapigou Gold Mine also follows this tradition.
At this moment, Boss Shan's mind was completely occupied by his injured son, and he even forgot about the sunny day beside him. He thanked the steward and ran out.
Qin Hexuan thought that Prince Rui didn't know who Boss Shan was, so he didn't say much at this time, but made up his mind silently in his heart.
He looked at Qingtian, who was nestled in Prince Rui's arms like a frightened child, with heartache and said, "Your Highness, let's take Qingtian back to the inn to rest first."
"Well, let's go back!" Prince Rui walked out holding Qingtian.
The manager of the gold mine was very considerate and prepared a carriage for them.
