Night Owl looked at his master with a puzzled expression.
Lin Wudi murmured and pulled his lips awkwardly, thinking: You ask me, who should I ask?
"Let's go visit the little emperor of Xuanlong Kingdom."
"I just don't believe it. Even if we use the treasures in our Qiankun bag to smash it, we still can't get two bowls of spiritual spring water..."
Lin Wudi's mouth twitched and he made a difficult decision.
…
Soon, under the command of the new Jingzhao Yin Gao Zhengqing, the orphanage was quickly renovated.
Upon hearing the news, the noble families donated money and supplies to the orphanage out of their own pockets.
The main purpose is to provide charitable relief in the hope that the good name will spread and His Majesty will reward them with a bowl of spiritual spring water.
There were many people who had this idea. For a time, the orphanage that Gao Zhengqing was in charge of was overcrowded, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
He's a good hand at investigating cases and fighting corruption, but... he hasn't even started his own family yet.
Looking at the group of short-legged creatures running all over the ground, he, who was usually calm and composed, was sweating profusely.
"Hey, little guy, be careful and run slower." Gao Zhengqing quickly helped up the child who almost fell down at his feet.
"You two, stop fighting."
"Don't steal..."
"Be good, don't cry, don't cry, eat some candy, uncle will buy you some candy..."
“…”
Gao Zhengqing was busy all morning.
He was good at investigating and combating corruption, but he never imagined that one day he would be responsible for solving cases and settling disputes for these children...
A child trying to walk on his legs for the first time.
For the first time, consciousness regained clarity.
These children's hearts are full of curiosity and surprise.
Looking at the noisy children of all ages in the hall, Gao Zhengqing's eyes were filled with tenderness.
The curvature of the mouth corners cannot be suppressed.
Good, that’s great, it’s better to be more lively.
What happened to these children was unfortunate, but it was also their good fortune to meet the wise ruler of Xuanlong Kingdom.
At this moment, Gao Zhengqing was completely convinced of Murong Ye.
I secretly swore that I would serve the country wholeheartedly.
The news that the orphanage had received donations of money and supplies reached the palace.
Murong Ye smiled indifferently.
Just as Jiang Wanyue said, all it took was a hint and those people would hand over the silver and money one after another.
Ultimately, I have to thank Tiantian.
If it weren't for her spiritual spring water, they really couldn't think of a good way to make those aristocratic families that had been entrenched for hundreds of years give up some money.
Tiantian is really the lucky star of their Xuanlong Kingdom.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something's wrong, something's wrong!"
Murong Ye was reviewing memorials when Xiao Tao's terrified voice was heard outside the imperial study.
Murong Ye stood up suddenly and walked quickly to the door. Looking at Xiao Tao who was wandering anxiously, his heart moved slightly.
"But what happened to the Queen Mother?"
Murong Ye asked, but he had a vague guess in his mind.
"Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager is missing!"
"I was guarding the Madam in the outer room the entire time. I was so sleepy at night that I took a nap. I think the Madam was taken away by the bad guys at that time!"
"This servant deserves to die. This servant deserves to die. Please, Your Majesty, save the Empress."
When Xiaotao saw Zuo Yexuan disappear, she subconsciously thought that a thief had kidnapped the Empress Dowager.
Since the matter concerned the reputation of the Empress Dowager, she could only keep it secret from everyone in the Cining Palace and come alone to ask His Majesty for help.
As for the possibility that her life might be in danger due to her poor care, she had long forgotten about it.
After hearing this, Murong Ye finally felt relieved.
The palace was heavily guarded, and if a thief broke in, his own dragon guards would surely have noticed it.
It seems that the Queen Mother has made up her mind to leave the cage that has imprisoned her for many years.
Murong Ye felt both joy that his mother had escaped from the sea of suffering, and a hint of sadness.
After this separation, I wonder what form the Queen Mother has taken. Will they, mother and son, ever meet again?
"Xiao Tao, don't worry."
"Last night, the Empress Dowager suddenly fell ill, and my mother personally attended to her and stayed by her side."
"From now on, you will work in the Imperial Study."
"When you turn twenty-five, I will grant you a marriage with Lin Feng, and you can leave the palace and live your life."
Murong Ye suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart and spoke.
The Queen Mother is kind to others. Although Xiao Tao is a maid, the Queen Mother treats her like a sister.
The Queen Mother once said that she wanted Xiaotao to marry Lin Feng, the captain of the Imperial Guards.
Now that his mother has escaped, the heavy responsibility naturally falls on him as her son.
Xiaotao:?
Xiaotao's face was full of question marks.
Weren't we talking about the Empress Dowager? Why did we suddenly turn to her marriage?
"Your Majesty, in reply to your Majesty's words, Xiao Tao will not marry. Xiao Tao wants to follow the Queen Mother."
"Wherever the Empress Dowager is, there I will be."
"This servant is willing to accompany the Empress Dowager to attend to the Grand Empress Dowager. I beg Your Majesty to grant my consent."
Xiao Tao reacted immediately, knelt down and kowtowed, and volunteered.
Murong Ye sighed when he heard this.
"Xiao Tao, this is also the Queen Mother's wish."
"The Queen Mother has also prepared a dowry for you, so you can't refuse."
Xiaotao was both moved and sad at this moment.
After a long time, she kowtowed to thank the emperor for his great grace.
Murong Ye looked at Xiao Tao's back as she left, and a smile appeared on his cold face.
Where will the Queen Mother go?
After a long time, Murong Ye smiled and drafted an order.
An imperial edict was quickly issued to General Xiaoyao's mansion.
…
There was a huge crowd outside the orphanage.
"Everyone, please don't push, please come one by one."
"Lord Gao Zhengqing has requested assistance from the Imperial Palace. The Emperor has issued an edict, and the new dean is on his way. Please be patient."
