Chapter 378 I Will Be His Relative Too
Brother Xiaojing is leaving?
Baoya’s little head was a little confused.
She came to Kuizhou City just to get away from the capital and be closer to Jingzhen, but Jingzhen is leaving tomorrow?
Seeing Baoya stunned, He Chunxiu became a little nervous. She patted her hand holding the letter and asked, "Whose letter is it? Is everything okay?"
Baoya shook her head: "It's okay, Mom."
She folded the letter calmly and said, "If you have time tomorrow, please write a letter to Grandma and the others. We have settled down in Kuizhou now, so don't worry them."
"Yeah," He Chunxiu nodded, "Business has been good these past two days, and your father and I have been so busy that we almost forgot about it."
It was getting late, Yun Sanlang winked at He Chunxiu, telling them that they should go back. Baoya was also tired after a day, so they should not disturb the child's rest.
He Chunxiu understood and stood up to clean up the dishes on the table as usual, but Baoya stopped her and said, "Let's ask sisters Yiyue and Eryue to clean up later."
"Well, your father and I will leave first. If you have anything, just ask someone to call me at the breakfast shop across the street." He Chunxiu said.
Baoya nodded and jumped off the chair to see them off, but He Chunxiu refused: "Just ask Chang Li to see you off. It's dark outside, don't go downstairs."
"Yeah." Bao Ya walked to the corridor outside and watched Chang Li holding a lantern and sending his parents and little brother out of the gate of Shanhai Tower. Then he returned to his room.
She closed the door of the room and felt something was wrong the moment she turned around. There was a cold wind blowing behind her. The window was open and someone must have come in.
Gripping the dragon beard noodles on her wrist, Bao Ya wanted to take the initiative to attack, but she turned around suddenly and was faced with a black mask without any facial features.
"ah!"
The little girl screamed in fright, took several steps back, and bumped into the door behind her, causing pain in her back.
The man with the black mask quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth: "Shh!"
"Keep your voice down, your master is a serious criminal in the imperial court!"
It was the familiar voice of Nan Xuan.
Baoya blinked, indicating that she would not scream anymore.
Nan Xuan then let go of his hand and took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome and elegant face.
Baoya patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, why are you here?"
On her way to Kuizhou, she heard rumors that Nan Xuan was being hunted by the imperial court and the underworld, and she thought that Nan Xuan would not appear again for a while.
"Why am I here?"
Nan Xuan poked Baoya's forehead with his finger. "If I don't come, how are you going to get to the capital tomorrow morning? Are you going to make it there with your short legs?"
Hearing this, Baoya looked down at her own short legs and smiled, "Hey, I can do Qinggong too."
"A five-year-old kid running around will be kidnapped by human traffickers." Nan Xuan sighed.
"Anyway, tomorrow is your last chance."
I'm afraid that if I can come back again, I'll have to wait until the time for the enthronement ceremony when I reach the age of twenty, which will be four or five years later.
Baoya sniffed her little nose and said in a muffled voice, "I know."
The room fell silent for a moment, and neither of them spoke.
After a moment, Baoya asked, "Will you send someone to protect him?"
She was sent to guard the border just after returning to Beijing. Although she didn't know whether it was the emperor's intention or someone else's intervention, she knew that this trip would definitely be full of dangers.
"Of course," Nan Xuan nodded. "Jingzhen is my disciple after all. If I don't protect him, who will? Don't worry."
"well……"
Baoya didn't reply to him, but sighed.
Nan Xuan poked her puffy cheeks and said, "Why are you sighing like a child?"
Baoya held her chin with her hand, her little face full of sorrow: "Master, Brother Xiaojing is so pitiful."
"How do you say that?"
"He's already sent to guard the border right after returning to the capital. Doesn't that sound like he was kicked out right after entering the house? His father, the emperor, definitely doesn't love him."
"So, does his mother treat him well?"
After Baoya asked, she covered her little mouth.
I seemed to have asked a stupid question just now. If his parents loved him, Brother Xiaojing would definitely not have been living outside for so long.
"Jingzhen no longer has a mother." Nan Xuan looked serious for the first time.
He took a deep breath, reached out and patted Baoya's shoulder: "So, you must treat him well. Apart from his brother, he has no one who can be called a relative."
"Then, I will become his relative too." The little girl's voice was tender and crisp, and her words were filled with the innocence that only belongs to a child.
"Yes," Nan Xuan nodded, "We are all his relatives."
The next morning, before dawn, the two left Shanhai Tower.
When they hurried to the outside of the city gate, the two large dark iron gates were slowly opened by the soldiers guarding the gate.
Nan Xuan took Baoya, who was wrapped in a furry cloak like a snow-white ball, and hid behind a big tree not far away.
In the early winter morning, the morning breeze is still very biting.
Nan Xuan felt the little white ball beside him shaking.
He raised his eyebrows and asked Baoya: "Are you cold?"
Baoya shook her head like a rattle: "I'm not cold."
After saying that, he quickly sniffed his nose.
Nan Xuan:......
I quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose.
At this moment, Baoya suddenly waved her hands happily: "Master, Master! Someone is coming out!"
Nan Xuan crumpled up the handkerchief he had used to wipe his nose and threw it into the straw behind him, then looked up.
Sure enough, the soldiers defending the city were neatly lined up in two teams. The sound of horse hooves was heard, and a young man in silver armor rode on a tall black horse. The red tassel on his helmet reflected the glittering light of the silver armor, which was gorgeous and dazzling.
Beside him was a young man in dark riding clothes. He had his hair tied up high, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and his face was warm and friendly as he talked and laughed.
Behind the two men followed a group of imposing cavalry, followed by food carts, and finally a group of soldiers holding spears to support the team.
Baoya stared intently at the young man in silver armor. His figure was very similar to Jingzhen, but she didn't dare to recognize him.
Seeing that her eyes were fixed on him, Nan Xuan stretched out his finger and poked her soft cheek.
"Hey, doesn't your brother Xiao Jing look handsome in armor?"
Baoya nodded subconsciously.
Nan Xuan added, "The man next to him in black riding uniform is his brother, the current Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince...His Royal Highness?
Baoya was stunned.
Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so gentle and friendly?
She just thought that was Brother Xiaojing's personal bodyguard.
Just as he was in a daze, Jingzhen, who was riding a horse not far away, seemed to have noticed something and turned his head to look over here.
Baoya didn't have time to hide and her eyes met his.
Jingzhen: ...
As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he felt that something was wrong over there, as if someone was staring at him.
As a result, when I turned around, I saw a round, snow-white little ball hiding in the grass under a big tree.
