Chapter 386 That was Yuan Xiaonian’s first murder
"Hahaha..." Yuan Tianchen laughed heartily, "Then our little Suining must have won."
"Mother!" Yuan Huaihong was not happy to hear this and explained unhappily for little Suining, "Father said that Mr. Wen and Miss Fuxing can predict the future. Our Suining can do the same. Let them compete."
"Brother Crown Prince," Little Dumpling shook Yuan Huaihong's hand, "I'm not a god, I can't predict the future."
She looked at Wen Renli and Fuxing curiously, "Are Uncle Wen and Sister Fuxing gods?"
"Young Lady, you're joking. I'm not a deity," Wen Renli nodded. "As for Fuxing, I think she's at least favored by the gods."
Yuan Tianchen and Shangguan Jinglan nodded at the same time. Obviously, both of them were very interested in the fact that Fuxing could predict the future.
"So how was the competition just now?" Shangguan Jinglan said with a smile, "Little Suining...didn't cry?"
"Mother, Sister Suining didn't lose." Yuan Huaihong was very proud.
"Oh? Really?" Shangguan Jinglan subconsciously looked at Yuan Tianchen. Seeing Yuan Tianchen nodded, she was even more surprised. "What's going on? Could it be that our little Suining is also favored by the gods?"
Yuan Tianchen chuckled, "That's possible. This kid is too smart."
"Let's go to the side hall. I asked them to prepare snacks and fruits, as well as programs. We can watch and talk at the same time." The Emperor of Jin led everyone to the side hall.
Li Suining followed Yuan Huaihong obediently. It seemed that she really didn't need to leave the palace today.
However, she had no way to go to the cold palace to see Concubine Jing.
At the same time, in Yonghua Palace, the fifth prince waited for a long time, but when he saw that Li Suining had not come, he asked Chunxiang to go to the East Palace.
Only then did he realize that Li Suining had been called to the Yangxin Palace.
"Mother, I want to go too." Yuan Baoyu pestered Concubine Yi and acted coquettishly.
Concubine Yi sent someone to the Yangxin Palace to inquire and found out that the Queen had also gone there, which made her even less willing to go.
"Be good, Baoyu. Suining will be back after having lunch in the Yangxin Palace. You can play together then."
In fact, she didn't want Yuan Baoyu to get involved in any formal occasions where the prince appeared, for she was always afraid that rumors would spread in the palace that Yuan Baoyu was trying to compete with the prince for favor.
What's more, Shangguan Jinglan also went there today, so she couldn't go.
"But mother..." The little fat boy played with his fingers pitifully, "I am so bored now."
Concubine Yi was having a headache. Li Suining had only been in the palace for a few days and had been friends with Yuan Baoyu for a few days, but her son couldn't stand the separation after just a while.
She sighed, held the little fat boy in her arms, and coaxed him softly, "Baoyu, how about this? Tonight, mother will let Sui Ning stay in Yonghua Palace, okay?"
"Really?" The little fat boy's eyes lit up.
Imperial Concubine Yi nodded. "But the condition is that you have to play by yourself now. Xiao Suining and the Crown Prince have gone to see your father. It must be something important. We can't go and cause trouble, okay?"
"Okay, mother, I can play by myself." Yuan Baoyu was instantly happy.
After all, the fat guy can still tell which is better, being apart for a short while or being together for a whole night.
He slid down clumsily from Concubine Yi's arms and walked on his short legs to find Chunxiang, "Chunxiang, Chunxiang, I want to prepare a fragrant pillow for Li Suining, and..."
Concubine Yi looked at her son's back, smiled and shook her head.
However, she also understood that Li Suining could not live in the palace forever, and might leave soon.
She was a little worried and hoped that her silly son would not cry too sadly.
On the other side, in the cold palace, Concubine Jing had gone to the door five or six times, but she still hadn't seen the little girl.
She couldn't help but ask her son worriedly, "Is nothing wrong with your sister?"
"What will happen to her?" Yuan Xiaonian had been sitting in the corridor, looking a little annoyed.
Li Suining had clearly told him yesterday, but for some reason he hasn't come yet.
Could it be that the girl has changed her mind?
Yuan Xiaonian's expression darkened. If Li Suining dared to lie to him, he would make her regret it.
"Xiao Nian, why don't you go to the Eastern Palace and ask?" Concubine Jing was really restless.
In her mind, Le Ping had been away for a long time and now he was finally back. If he disappeared again, she really couldn't bear it.
"Okay, mother, please go back to the room and wait. I'll go to the Eastern Palace." Yuan Xiaonian stood up and helped Concubine Jing back to the room. "It's cold outside. Don't worry. Leping will be fine. I'll bring her back soon."
Concubine Jing nodded.
Yuan Xiaonian quickly left the Eastern Palace.
Before he was ten years old, he and Concubine Jing lived in the cold palace.
He clearly remembered that at that time, the emperor had asked him to choose between giving up his mother and staying outside the cold palace, but he chose his mother without hesitation.
That was the person who gave birth to him and raised him, and he would never give up.
However, after moving into the cold palace, everything was completely different from before. They didn't even have someone to serve them sincerely, and even three meals a day became a problem.
Yuan Xiaonian was not like he is now at that time. He once tried to find the Emperor of Jin, but he didn't even get to see him. In everyone's eyes, he was already an abandoned prince. In this cruel harem, he was like a stray dog.
Once, he went out to look for food and searched for a long time. When he came back, he found that something had happened to Concubine Jing... She had been forced.
When Yuan Xiaonian found her, she was lying in the snow, her clothes in disarray, with two discarded cold steamed buns hidden in her arms, as hard as stones.
At that time, she was still unconscious. When she saw Yuan Xiaonian, she smiled foolishly and kept stuffing steamed buns into Yuan Xiaonian's hands, asking him to eat quickly.
Yuan Xiaonian was really going crazy at that time. He couldn't even go find that person because he knew clearly that if this matter became known to others, Concubine Jing would have no way out.
He was so angry that he bit his arm, and the scar is still there.
But later, Yuan Xiaonian finally found that person, a eunuch guard.
The guard confessed everything that had happened without a trace of fear in his eyes, because he was sure that the prince in front of him was more afraid of this secret being revealed than he was.
In his eyes, an abandoned prince was just like an unwanted stray dog.
But he didn't expect that Yuan Xiaonian really became a stray dog. However, he was not the kind of dog that would allow others to spit on him or drive him away. Instead, he was the kind of dog that would bite people to death for a bite of food.
That night, Yuan Xiaonian bit the guard's neck, and blood gushed out, spraying all over his face and mouth, but his eyes became even more crazy and terrifying in the night.
That was Yuan Xiaonian’s first time killing someone, but not the last.
Yuan Xiaonian understood earlier than any other prince that in this place, either you kill him or he kills you, and he would never be the one killed.
Never!
