Chapter 330 You Zhu is the Second Prince of our Northern Barbarians
Sure enough, the next night, Xiaotuanzi appeared again and continued to tell the thrilling story of her and Huo Linger.
Huo Xi broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this.
"You mean... even the officials from the capital government have joined the hunt?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, "Yes, luckily Uncle City Lord and Aunt Hai Jiao arrived in time, otherwise Aunt Huaer would have died."
When little Tuanzi thought of Aunt Huaer, he missed her a little and sniffed.
"Aunt Hua'er should have already gone to the City Lord's Mansion. I hope she can live a good life there."
Huo Xi, who had been asking questions all the time, was unusually silent at this moment, as if he was thinking about something.
"Uncle Huoxi, why aren't you talking?" Little Dumpling asked curiously.
Huo Xi remained silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Tell me...what happened to that government official?"
"My second brother said he committed suicide," Li Suining muttered to himself. "I guess he was afraid Uncle Huo Yan would interrogate him, but..."
"Second brother said that he should be protecting the person behind him."
Little Tuanzi asked Huo Xi in confusion, "Uncle Huo Xi, is the official in the government office a high-ranking official? Who can give him instructions?"
Huo Xi suddenly sneered, "He's more than just a high-ranking official."
In the Northern Barbarians, the official system of the entire court was different from that of the Great Jin.
The Northern Barbarians do not have a particularly detailed and systematic official configuration. They only have one royal family, and there are twelve city lords' palaces in twelve cities.
In the capital, a government office was established as the only one that could connect these forces.
It can be said that the influence of the government officials in the Northern Barbarians is almost equivalent to that of the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty.
Therefore, there is only one person who can make the government officials protect with their lives, and that is... the current Barbarian King Huo Yan.
Huo Xi understood that Huo Yan was protecting Princess Huo Ling'er in the palace and in front of everyone, playing the role of the best uncle to the emperor and proving that he was the best brother.
But behind the scenes, he used lies to induce Huo Linger to leave the imperial capital, and even asked her to fight Bai Yunfeng to the death.
And on her way back to the capital, he tried every possible means to kill her.
Huo Xi couldn't accept it. Huo Linger was just a girl. What threat did she pose to Huo Yan?
Huo Yan had clearly promised him that he would not hurt Huo Linger, so how could he go back on his word?
Li Suining kept looking at Huo Xi curiously. She could feel that Uncle Huo Xi seemed very angry, but she didn't know what Uncle Huo Xi was angry about.
She continued to tell a few funny things, but Uncle Huoxi didn't respond.
"Uncle Huoxi," Little Dumpling saw that the time was almost up, "I want to go back."
Huo Xi finally spoke again, "Okay, little one, from now on... you don't have to come again."
"Why?" Little Dumpling immediately became anxious. "Uncle Huoxi, I still have a lot of stories about Princess Sister that I haven't told you yet."
However, Huo Xi seemed to have made up his mind, "Let's go back."
"Uncle Huoxi..." Little Dumpling noticed that Huoxi had closed his eyes, obviously refusing to talk.
"Then I'll go first." Little Dumpling felt that his mission had failed.
She looked back every step of the way and went back reluctantly.
The third day was the day when You Zhu and Yun Tiankuo entered the palace.
Huo Linger and Xiaotuanzi were waiting in Linlangxuan early in the morning, and asked Bai Kou and Bai Zhi to go to the Fire God Temple to inquire about the situation.
Around noon, Bai Kou came back and said that someone had already entered the Fire God Temple.
"That's great." Huo Linger was very happy and asked Bai Kou to go and take another look.
"Yes, Princess!" Bai Kou was also happy. No matter what the purpose of You Zhu's return to the Northern Barbarian royal family was, she felt that it would be beneficial to Huo Linger.
At least, her little princess is not so lonely anymore.
She hurried back, only to see Baizhi coming back from another direction.
"Where did you go if you weren't here to keep an eye on it?" Bai Kou asked in confusion.
Bai Zhi pressed her stomach and said, "My stomach is not feeling well, so I went out for a while."
"Are you okay?" Bai Kou saw that her face was indeed not very good. "Why don't you go back first? I can stay here by myself."
Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "It's okay."
The two stopped talking and looked carefully at the situation in the hall.
Yun Tiankuo had already told the story of You Zhu's origin, but he did not mention that You Zhu was adopted by Bai Yunfeng. He only said that the child was found in the northern border.
You Zhu, who took off her black veil for the first time in front of the Fire Banquet, looked straight ahead at the front of the hall and said, "Greetings to the Barbarian Emperor... Uncle!"
Huo Yan already knew You Zhu's origin at this time, but he had no choice. Yun Tiankuo was there, so he could only choose to accept Yun Tiankuo's version.
He walked down from the throne, came to You Zhu, and lifted up You Zhu's face.
"Be good, don't be afraid, let your uncle take a good look."
But at first glance, there was no fear in the child's eyes.
However, Huo Yan still couldn't help but sigh that this child looked so much like his mother, especially those blue eyes, which were almost exactly the same.
You Zhu is a child of the royal family and Huo Dai’s son, there is no doubt about it.
But this child is just like his mother, too dangerous.
Huo Yan couldn't help but think that if Huo Dai could set fire to the Bai family army's camp, You Zhu could set fire to the Fire God Temple... This child only made him feel terrified.
However, Huo Yan could not show this. He could only hug You Zhu and cry with excitement.
"You Zhu, right? Good boy, good boy, uncle finally found you."
You Zhu's small body was like a cold stone, without any response.
Huo Yan quickly gave up on the family drama and just patted You Zhu's shoulder, repeating, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
They were hiding and there was nothing he could do.
But now, if this kid dares to come back, he has a chance.
At this time, Yun Tiankuo smiled and said, "Congratulations, Lord Barbarian Emperor, for finding Prince Youzhu. The royal family has added fresh blood."
The prince... Huo Yan quickly burst into laughter, "Yes, my younger sister Huo Dai is gone, and my elder brother Huo Xi is also gone. This child... naturally has to be raised under my name."
He instructed the palace servants behind him, "From now on, Youzhu will be the second prince of our Northern Barbarian royal family. He will live in Langyuetan. Perhaps, he and Ling'er can play together."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace attendant stepped forward and looked at You Zhu with a smile, "Second Prince, let's go. I'll take you to the Langyue Altar."
"Yes, just tell me what you need." Huo Yan watched them leave.
"Your Majesty," Yun Tiankuo spoke again, "The Second Prince has returned. This is a great news. Your Majesty, would you like to hold a banquet to welcome him? Would you like your subordinates to inform the other city lords to gather in the capital to celebrate the royal family together?"
"Of course." Huo Yan smiled and nodded, "Then I'll ask City Lord Yun to arrange these matters."
"Yes, Lord Barbarian Emperor, I will do my best!"
Yun Tiankuo's eyes widened. "Then... until the banquet is over, can I stay at Langyuetan? It will be convenient for me to take care of the Second Prince."
Huo Yan's expression was not very good, but he nodded, "Okay!"
