He then raised his head, a smug look on his face, but it didn't last long. He realized something, looked behind Li Xiaochen, his expression fell, and he asked blankly:
"Where's my sister? She went to find you, but you came back. Where is she? You just abandoned her? What if she's in danger?"
Li Xiaochen looked at the serious little face in front of him and found it a bit amusing. This kid was precocious for his age, so he spoke calmly:
"Your sister is tired and sleeping in the next room. Don't disturb her."
"oh!"
Xiao Hao was immediately out of breath! He mumbled a reply, "Why didn't you say so earlier that your sister was back? I had to ask for so long!"
Ignoring his discomfort, Li Xiaochen went to the inner room to visit Aunt Mu. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw that Aunt Mu had already woken up, and he felt relieved.
"Xiao Chen is back! Are you alright? A man dressed in black came in earlier and asked about your whereabouts. I didn't tell him. Who were they? Will they cause you trouble again?"
When Aunt Mu saw Li Xiaochen come in, she disregarded her pain and asked him with concern.
He walked over and whispered:
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Mu, for causing you trouble this time! I've dealt with those people, and they won't be coming again. Also... we'll be leaving soon, please take care of yourself!"
Are you leaving?
Aunt Mu was stunned! She couldn't come to her senses for a long time.
Li Xiaochen couldn't bear to nod anymore, so he could only look at her like that.
"Alright, then leave! Aunt Mu knows you're not a simple person, so I won't ask. I just hope you'll be careful and take care of yourself."
Looking at Li Xiaochen in front of her, Aunt Mu suppressed her grief and gave him her detailed instructions.
"Okay! I understand!"
Li Xiaochen didn't say anything else, just stood aside, listening patiently, nodding in response from time to time.
"Your Uncle Mu won't be back until tonight, so he probably won't see you. I'll get up now and prepare some seafood for you to take with you!"
As Aunt Mu was about to get up, Li Xiao pressed her down.
Li Xiaochen said softly:
"Aunt Mu, no need. Please take good care of your injuries. I'll come back to visit you again sometime!"
Li Xiaochen is not one to make promises lightly. But after meeting Lin Yuxin, he made all the promises he had made in his life. He couldn't bear to make this selfless old woman in front of him sad.
If a single sentence can give them hope, then what's the harm in him saying it?
If things go smoothly in the capital, he might actually have time to bring Lin Yuxin to visit them again in the future.
"Really? That's great, that's great! Come back and visit us whenever you have the chance, this will always be your home!"
Aunt Mu's eyes reddened, and she grasped Li Xiaochen's hand, choking back tears as she spoke.
Yes! Thank you!
Li Xiaochen pursed his lips and said in a low voice.
Li Xiaochen chatted with Aunt Mu for a while longer. Only after the guards at the door came to remind him that he could leave did Li Xiaochen come out.
Wang Yu was assigned to the right side of the cabin. Since there was no bed, they set up a table, placed a wooden board on it, and Wang Yu lay down on it.
Li Xiaochen hadn't paid attention to him earlier, but when he came out, he saw him and woke up.
"Your Highness!"
When Wang Yu saw his master finish speaking and come out, he quickly greeted him respectfully.
"Yes, thank you for your hard work this time!"
Li Xiaochen saw that his injuries had been treated, and judging from the method, it was Xin Xin who did it.
Wang Yu's injuries were sustained while protecting him. He was under the influence of drugs and was somewhat delirious. He was almost injured by the assassin several times, but Wang Yu reacted quickly and blocked the attack for him.
In the end, he was unharmed, but Wang Yu was seriously injured. Later, when they were on the run, Wang Yu did not want to implicate him, so he asked them to let him go.
Xueying hid him directly in the bushes, hoping to give him a chance to survive.
Wang Yu was lucky; he wasn't discovered by the assassin, but Lin Yuxin found him instead.
"You flatter me, Master. Protecting you is my duty!"
Upon hearing his master say that he had worked hard, Wang Yu was immediately alarmed. Ignoring his injuries, he raised his hand to bow to Li Xiaochen while lying on the wooden board, saying humbly.
His master is acting strangely. He would never say such things before. Why is he saying such sentimental things now? Could he be influenced by the princess?
"Alright, since you're so badly injured, stay here and rest for a few days before setting off again."
Li Xiaochen stopped wasting words and, seeing that his condition was not suitable for a long journey, simply left him behind.
"Your Highness, I can leave. If I stay, you will have no one to help you. I'm worried about Leng Han and the others not being here!"
Upon hearing that the prince wanted to keep him, Wang Yu panicked and quickly said...
"Alright, that's settled. I'll send a message to Shui Mei myself and tell her to come directly from Beicheng."
Li Xiaochen frowned and gave the order directly.
"yes!"
Seeing that his master had already made up his mind, Wang Yu had no choice but to agree.
Li Xiaochen gave him a few more instructions, then turned and left.
Then he turned around and walked towards Lin Yuxin's wooden house. Seeing that Lin Yuxin had fallen asleep again, he couldn't bear to wake her up, so he simply picked her up and walked towards the yard.
Xiao Hao, who was standing outside, saw Li Xiaochen carrying his sister out and quickly followed. He walked all the way to the outside of the courtyard and watched Li Xiaochen put his sister into the carriage before he climbed up.
Then I sat down next to my sister and stayed by her side.
Li Xiaochen frowned and glanced at him a few times. Why was this brat so worried about his wife? If he wasn't in a hurry to get back, he really wanted to get another carriage and send this kid over.
