“Snap!”
The car was speeding up, and several packages of fruits and snacks were thrown off the table.
"Su Yun, don't rush so much, slow down."
Not getting a response, Su Xingyi hurriedly stood up and tried to open the heavy car window curtains, but a wave of dizziness hit him, and he fell back down.
The eagle-headed man Nie Ying heard the noise, opened the curtain and looked, and saw a bloody dagger stabbing towards him.
Nie Ying failed to dodge in time and was stabbed on the wrist.
Su Xingyi took the opportunity to kick open the car door. The cold wind, carrying a pungent smell, blew straight into his face, and Su Xingyi completely lost consciousness.
On the east city gate tower, Commander He Lin was giving a speech to his men in a majestic manner.
"Now that two nobles are residing in Huayang County, everyone entering and leaving the city gates every day must be strictly checked, especially those wanted by the Ministry of Justice and those who are habitual petty thieves. If found, they must be promptly sent to the garrison. Do you understand?"
"Understood! Master He!"
"Okay, everyone take your places."
He Lin glanced outside the city, then turned around after a moment and looked down at the prosperous city. Perhaps because he had been promoted, his eyes were full of joy.
He could have asked his adjutant to do this, but he just couldn't sit still. He couldn't be as lazy as that guy named Luo.
If I don't personally go through each city gate, I will feel uneasy.
"Sir, that looks like the carriage from the Princess's Mansion."
He Lin looked over and recognized at a glance that it was the carriage that Su Xingyi usually took when traveling. However, why did these guards look so unfamiliar?
"Quick, stop him first."
"Quickly get out of the way! How dare you stop the carriage from the Princess's Mansion?"
He Lin walked straight to the car window and said respectfully to the person inside, "Your Highness, it will be dark in just over an hour. I wonder why Your Highness is in such a hurry to leave the city?"
"How dare you! Do you think the prince needs to be informed before he travels?"
He Lin looked at the unfamiliar face and said coldly, "It's my duty!"
"you……!"
"The princess wants to eat the frosted sugar persimmon cakes from Dongli County." Nie Ying drew aside the curtains and glanced at He Lin. "The prince wants to go buy them himself. It's getting late, so we have to get there before dark."
He Lin caught a glimpse of Su Xingyi, his eyes slightly closed, one hand pinching his brow as he leaned back on the couch, seeming to be very impatient at being interrupted. "Your Highness, I'm sorry to bother you. I will let you go now."
After the heavy curtain was lowered, a thin man behind Su Xingyi quickly got off the couch and laid Su Xingyi flat.
The carriage quickly left the city.
He Lin looked at the carriage going away and curled his lips. The prince really dotes on the princess!
When Xiao Lingyu woke up, he didn't see Su Xingyi, so he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
When I woke up again, Xiao Xier handed me a candied haws.
"Mother, this is what Dad asked Lei Xiao to buy before he left. It's so sweet, try it."
Xiao Lingyu took a bite and said, "It's really sweet. Hasn't your father come back yet?"
"Not yet. It's just after the New Year, so fruits and vegetables are probably hard to find. Daddy might go shopping all over the city."
"Moshu!"
"The servant is here!"
"Tell Lei Xiao to send someone to look for the prince. If you can't buy all the fruits and vegetables, then don't buy them. Come back first."
When Xiao Lingyu turned around, he saw Xiao Xier chewing on a candied haws. She looked like a little squirrel stealing pine cones, and she looked so cute.
Xiao Xier noticed Xiao Lingyu's gaze and quickly handed over the candied haws.
"Mother, you eat."
Seeing her smacking her lips, Xiao Lingyu knew she hadn't had enough. "You can eat it. Mother doesn't like sweet food very much these days."
Xiao Xier stuffed the candied haws into her mouth again and continued to chew it.
"After you finish eating, come and lie down in the bed to keep warm. Your sister Yulan has left, so mother will sleep with you tonight."
"don't want!"
"What?"
Xiao Xier wiped her mouth and hands, turned into the bed and put her little head on Xiao Lingyu's belly, "I want to sleep with Xiao Liuxi tonight. I will learn to take care of her first. When Xiaowu is born, I can take care of Xiaowu. When we go to Nankun, you can give birth to Xiaoliu for us to take care of."
"You're already thinking about Little Six before Little Five is even born?"
"Yes, Xiaoliu can be my younger sister, but she has to be born in Nankun."
Xiao Lingyu touched Xiao Xier's head and said with a smile, "I think you want mother to go to Nankun and not let us come back, right?"
"Hehehe..." Xiao Xi'er nuzzled Xiao Lingyu's neck and kissed him on the cheek. "I'm a princess in Nankun. Besides my father, mother, and elder sister, I'm the oldest. No one in Nankun dares to mess with us. Here, I have to endure the old emperor's anger and can't go back to Beijing to visit my relatives."
It seems that Xiao Xier regards Mu Chen Hanyue as a good sister, and she really needs to go to Nankun with her. Only when her true identity is exposed can she feel at ease.
"How old is your eldest sister? Is she as cute as you?"
"She's nine, no! Ten years old. She's so serious, she looks more like a little adult than me. She has to go to court with my father every day. Once she succeeds to the throne and becomes the empress, I can eat and drink as I please."
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to be the empress?"
"Being the empress means worrying about the entire Nankun, which will be very tiring. I have an older sister above me, and we are from the same mother. Even if I wanted to be the empress, it wouldn't be my turn!"
Xiao Lingyu: "Is she as fragrant as you?"
"Yes, it smells good, just like me!"
“Does it really smell the same?”
Xiao Xier thought about it carefully and said, "It smells just as good, but it wasn't as strong at first. After I went out with her to see my grandfather, her scent became as strong as mine."
Xiao Lingyu was shocked, thinking that Mu Chen Hanyue must have done something.
"Your elder sister..."
Seeing Xiao Lingyu hesitate to speak, Xiao Xier asked, "What does mother want to say?"
She wanted to ask her elder sister if she could also control the release of fragrance and use it to heal patients?
"Your mother was injured when she gave birth to you. Has your eldest sister visited her every day over the years?"
"Yes, she would bring breakfast to eat with my mother every day. She is as filial as I am."
"You are different from her!"
"How is it different?"
"First, she is older than you. Although she has the same fragrance as you, she cannot use it to heal your mother."
Xiao Xier opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
She never thought about it that way.
A thought flashed through her mind, but it slipped away so quickly that she didn't catch it.
"Mother is right, we are different. I am more powerful."
"You are my mother's most beloved child, so naturally you are more powerful than your elder sister."
Xiao Lingyu reached out and scratched her armpit.
"Ah, hahahaha...it's so itchy..."
The mother and daughter were playing in the room as the sky outside gradually darkened.
"Princess, do you want to have dinner now, or wait until the prince comes back?"
Could it be that Xingyi can’t buy everything and can’t come back?
"Has it been delivered to Canglangyuan?"
"It's been delivered."
"Xiao Xi'er, are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry. I ate two strings of candied haws this afternoon."
"Then shall we wait for your father to come back before we eat?"
"good!"
