After bowing, Li Yi stood up from the ground. It was impossible for a ten-year-old child to say that he didn't understand anything. The Seventh Emperor knew that he had no status in his father's heart. He had expectations, but was disappointed again and again. The little emperor had no expectations for Li Xiaoyuan, but he was his father after all. Thinking that he might never come back once he left, Li Yi still shed tears.
Yu Xiaoxiao walked forward, hugged Li Yan in her arms, patted him, and said, "How about you go up and kiss him? A goodbye kiss or something?"
Give me a kiss?
Goodbye kiss?
Li Yan looked up at his cousin, and suddenly he was no longer sad. How could a person who was already dumbfounded still be sad?
"No kiss goodbye?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked.
Li Yi quickly shook his head. He had never heard of a son kissing his father when saying goodbye.
"Let's go then," Yu Xiao.
The child glanced at the bed again.
Yu Xiaoxiao also looked at the bed, and then saw a square box placed next to Li Xiaoyuan's pillow. Looking at the texture and color, Yu Xiaoxiao asked Li Yan: "Is this jade?"
Li Yi looked at Li Xiaoyuan, thinking that no matter what, he could not forget his father's appearance. Hearing Yu Xiaoxiao's sudden question, Li Yi was very confused and said, "What jade?"
The jade box is next to the little pinky pillow.
Li Yan said: "It should be."
Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and took the jade box in her hand, and said to Li Yan: "It is inlaid with a dragon, it looks very valuable."
Li Yi reached out and touched the jade box, whispering, "Cousin, this is something my father had."
Yu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly and said, "I only took your father's things. If he doesn't want to ask for your living expenses and child support, who should I ask? It is his duty to raise you until you are 18 years old."
Li Yan said to Yu Xiao very honestly: "Cousin, I don't understand what you are saying."
Yu Xiaoxiao...
Li Yi then said, "My father is about to wake up."
Yu Xiaoxiao took a look and saw that Li Xiaoyuan's eyelids were moving.
Li Yi suddenly became scared, and without thinking, the Seventh Emperor hid behind his cousin.
Yu Xiaoxiao didn't have any idea. Seeing that Li Xiaoyuan's eyelids were trembling more and more violently and he was about to wake up, Yu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and slapped the Suzaku King on the head.
Li Xiaoyuan lay motionless again.
Yu Xiaoxiao acted quickly, and Li Yan didn't see clearly what his cousin did. Seeing that his father didn't move again, he pulled Yu Xiaoxiao's sleeve and asked, "Cousin, what happened to my father?"
"Your father fell asleep again," Yu Xiaoxiao said as she opened the jade box. There was a square jade in the box, which looked very nice. Yu Xiaoxiao decided to take it. Such a large piece of jade, plus the jade box, should be able to sell for a good price, enough to support her little cousin until he is eighteen years old. She pulled a piece of cloth from Li Xiaoyuan's bed, wrapped the jade box, and carried the cloth bag on her back.
Li Yan said, "Do we really want to take this?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Li Xiaoyuan's bedroom again. There were still many valuable things in it. "Hey," Yu Xiaoxiao patted the child on the head and taught him, "We should not only be kind, but also be content."
Li Yi looked at the cloth bag that Yu Xiaoxiao was carrying, and the Seventh Emperor fell silent.
"Let's go," Yu Xiaoxiao picked up her little cousin again and said, "Let's go pick up your Nanny Zhou."
Yu Xiaoxiao carried Li Yan and climbed over the window and the wall, out of Li Xiaoyuan's bedroom, and ran to the palace where Concubine Yu lived again.
A guard stood behind the flower bed outside the bedroom, watching Yu Xiaoxiao and the Seventh Emperor walk past him.
Yu Xiaoxiao heard someone breathing and knew there was someone behind the flower stand. She hesitated for a moment as to whether to knock the person out or not, and her steps also stopped for a moment.
Li Yan said, "Cousin, why don't you leave?"
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked at the flower bed.
When Li Yi was struggling with Yu Xiaoxiao's hand to look at the flower stand, his hand somehow touched the knot of the cloth bag, and the knot broke immediately.
The jade box slipped out of the cloth bag and fell onto the snow.
The prisoner huddled behind the flower bed, not daring to utter a word, his body trembling.
Yu Xiaoxiao listened to this person's trembling and felt that such a timid person could not possibly be a big shot in the imperial palace. After realizing this, Yu Xiaoxiao ignored this little guy, picked up the jade box, and took Li Yan to find Nanny Zhou.
When Yu Xiaoxiao successfully found Nanny Zhou, she slapped her unconscious before she could scream. When she was taken out of the palace, the eunuch also knelt in front of Concubine Long.
"You said that Princess Linglong brought the Seventh Prince to meet His Majesty?" Concubine Long asked the supervisor.
The supervisor said, "Yes, I heard the Seventh Prince calling that female cousin."
Concubine Long nodded and whispered, "That must be Yu Linglong."
Ai Jingzhong, who had just returned from the White Horse Temple, asked, "Why does Your Majesty want to see Yu Linglong?"
Concubine Long said, "What can the people of Fengtian do for your majesty?"
The supervisor hesitated for a moment, then said, "I saw Princess Linglong carrying a jade box with a golden dragon inlaid on it. I don't know what it is..."
"What did you say?" Lord Ai asked anxiously, "A jade box inlaid with a golden dragon?"
The supervisor nodded and said yes, and told Concubine Long and Ai Jingzhong everything about how Yu Xiaoxiao was carrying the cloth bag, how Li Yan broke the knot of the bag, how the jade box fell on the snow, and how Yu Xiaoxiao picked it up and took it away.
"You step back," Ai Jingzhong ordered the supervisor.
The supervisor quickly retreated.
When Concubine Long heard the eunuch talking about the jade box inlaid with a golden dragon, she felt uneasy, but she was unwilling to accept this reality. After the eunuch was dismissed by Ai Jingzhong, Concubine Long said to Prime Minister Ai: "Maybe that box is not..."
Ai Jingzhong waved his hand at Concubine Long and said, "Your Majesty, please send someone to check with Concubine Yu."
Concubine Long said, "Your Majesty can really give the jade seal to Yu Linglong?"
Ai Jingzhong said with a gloomy face: "The host master said that Yu Linglong, Gu Xinglang and his wife are now living in the same inn with Jing Mo."
Concubine Long could no longer sit still. She would not care about the people of Fengtian, but she wanted to kill the Japanese. What Concubine Long feared most now were the Queen and Jing Mo.
"What is the exact severity of His Highness's injuries?" Ai Jingzhong said, "Your Majesty should order someone to find out as soon as possible."
"You think I don't want to?" Concubine Long said, "The door of the Queen's Palace is closed, and the doctor who treated Li Yuan's injuries was imprisoned in the Queen's Palace by that woman. How do you want me to find out?"
Ai Jingzhong shook his head and said, "It is impossible for Princess Linglong to leave the palace at this time."
"Someone," Concubine Long rushed out the door and said, "Go and bring Concubine Yu to Chanshui Palace."
Ai Jingzhong advised: "Your Majesty should go there in person. If Concubine Yu is unwilling to come, Your Majesty should not force her at this time."
After hearing what Ai Jingzhong said, Concubine Long personally led her people out of Chanshui Palace and went to the palace where Concubine Yu lived.
