Chapter 376 I Only Believe in the Dead
Yuan Baoyu was so angry that he shouted at Yuan Xiaonian, "Bullying a child is nothing. Wait until I grow up..."
Yuan Xiaonian crossed his arms and interrupted him nonchalantly, "I will grow bigger!"
"..." Yuan Baoyu burst into tears in anger, "I hate you, I hate you, I want to tell my father..."
"Brother Baoyu, don't cry," Li Suining quickly coaxed him softly, "Go wait for me outside, I'll be out soon."
Yuan Baoyu's tears hadn't stopped yet, and he asked while crying, "Aren't you afraid...that he will kill you?"
"No, no." Little Dumpling persuaded the little fat boy for a long time and finally persuaded him to leave.
Yuan Xiaonian crossed his arms and couldn't help but look at the ball again.
Obviously, Li Suining has a maturity that is not expected at this age?
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Finally, the surroundings became quiet, and Yuan Xiaonian's cold voice seemed particularly abrupt.
Little Dumpling shook her head, but this time, she didn't nod again.
Because what happened just now shows that the Second Prince is worried about Concubine Jing. A child like this is also a good child, so she is really not afraid.
Yuan Xiaonian sneered and didn't dwell on the question anymore. He asked condescendingly, "Who have you told about Leping?"
"Brother Crown Prince." Li Suining immediately replied in a low voice.
Yuan Xiaonian didn't say anything, but the aura emanating from his body became even more terrifying.
"But, Prince Brother thought...Le Ping was a maidservant of Concubine Jing." Little Dumpling immediately added.
Yuan Xiaonian raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the little girl already knew Le Ping's identity.
He looked at Li Suining silently, as if waiting for Li Suining to explain something.
But after waiting for a long time, Li Suining still didn't say anything.
"Don't you want to explain yourself?" Yuan Xiaonian bent down and put his handsome face close to Li Suining. "You should know... everyone who knows about this matter has been..."
He made a motion of slashing his neck with his hand knife.
The little girl shuddered with fear and subconsciously took a step back, but still secretly looked at Yuan Xiaonian and whispered, "I...I won't say anything nonsense."
Yuan Xiaonian stood up straight and said, "I only believe in the dead."
“…” Li Suining stopped talking. She didn’t know what Yuan Xiaonian meant, but she… couldn’t die.
She also wants to rescue her father and brothers.
She thought about it and immediately said anxiously, "Empress Jing needs me."
This is her only bargaining chip.
"I promised Concubine Jing that I would visit her every day from now on. If I don't come tomorrow, she might... get worried again."
Yuan Xiaonian was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, "You are quite clever, but remember, if... anyone else knows of Le Ping's existence, I will not forgive you."
"Even the East Palace and the Crown Prince can't protect you."
The little dumpling nodded immediately, without a trace of doubt on his face.
Yuan Xiaonian waved his hand and let her leave.
Li Suining turned around and tried to run away as if he had been pardoned, but just as he took a step, someone grabbed his collar and half of his body floated in the air.
She was startled and looked back at Yuan Xiaonian crying.
"Where were you going just now?" Yuan Xiaonian asked in a deep voice.
Li Suining hesitated for a moment, then told the truth, "I went to meet two people. It is said that... they can see the future. They are... distinguished guests invited by the emperor to the palace."
"Oh?" Yuan Xiaonian raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested. "Where are they?"
Li Suining shook his head honestly, "I don't know. Brother Baoyu knows, but...we can't go today. We ran away secretly, and the adults will be worried if we stay too long. Maybe we can go tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go with you tomorrow." Yuan Xiaonian put the little dumpling down.
Little Dumpling immediately ran out of the cold palace without looking back.
As soon as I got outside, I saw Yuan Baoyu waiting anxiously.
The little fat boy completely forgot that Li Suining was a thief. He ran forward with a worried look on his face, "Sister, are you okay? Did that robber bully you?"
"I'm fine, thank you, Brother Baoyu." Little Dumpling patted his chest to calm himself down quickly.
Yuan Baoyu tilted his head and asked, "Then...are we still going to look for those two people?"
"No, we're not going. Yonghua Palace and Shaoyao are probably already looking for us. Let's go back quickly and go tomorrow."
"Okay." Yuan Baoyu agreed immediately.
The two little guys immediately held hands and ran back to Yonghua Palace together.
Before reaching the gate of Yonghua Palace, I saw Shaoyao looking for me anxiously.
"Sister Shaoyao!" Little Dumpling felt a little guilty. "I'm here. I'm with the Fifth Prince. We're fine."
Shaoyao immediately ran forward and carefully confirmed the situation of the two people, then she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Where have you been? You really scared me to death. If you don't come back, Concubine Yi will go to find the Emperor."
She paused and continued, "The prince will be here soon."
Little Tuanzi felt even more embarrassed. He didn't expect that he had alarmed so many people.
"Sister Shaoyao, please return to the Eastern Palace immediately and tell the Crown Prince that I'm fine. As for Imperial Concubine Yi..."
Li Suining glanced at the Fifth Prince and said, "I will go back with my brother Baoyu to admit his mistake."
Shaoyao glanced at the two little ones holding hands tightly, and suddenly felt happy. She nodded gently, "Okay, then I will go back first and come to pick up the county lady soon."
She left with a smile.
Li Suining and Yuan Baoyu returned to Yonghua Palace with their heads down and met Concubine Yi.
Imperial Concubine Yi was truly terribly anxious. Seeing the child finally return, she hurried forward to check, "Where have you been? Did you meet any bad guys? Are you hurt?"
Yuan Baoyu subconsciously looked at Li Suining. Seeing Li Suining shook her head, he slowly replied, "No, I'm sorry, mother. Sister Suining and I went out of the palace to play. I made you worry."
"I'm sorry, Madam, it was my idea." Little Tuanzi also quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake. "I took my brother Baoyu and ran away secretly, making Madam worry. Madam, please don't blame my brother Baoyu. It's my fault."
Concubine Yi sighed softly, "I'm glad you're okay."
She suddenly noticed that the two little guys were still holding hands, and she couldn't help but frowned.
Before, Yuan Baoyu clearly hated Li Suining, but now why...
At this time, a message came from outside, and the prince had arrived.
"Alright, Baoyu, go in and change your clothes. And little Suining," Concubine Yi ordered them to go to the back. "Suining, I've made a few sets of clothes for you, try them on."
Although she didn't want Yuan Baoyu to have too much contact with Li Suining, she also knew that the child was really pitiful. In the past few days, she asked someone to go outside the palace to make clothes for the child.
Li Suining was instantly flattered, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Soon, the two little guys went to the back hall happily together.
