Chapter 1060: Always Quiet?
In the early morning, before daybreak, Xiao Mingxin opened his eyes.
He stretched out his chubby little hands to rub his eye sockets, yawned, put on his clothes, climbed out of bed, and went to get a basin of hot water for himself and Xinping to wash.
Xiao Xinping was disturbed from sleeping, and immediately pouted and was about to cry.
“Ooooooooooo!”
“Ouch!”
Mingxin was so frightened that he covered her mouth with his hand and said, "Don't cry, what if you cry and attract bad guys?"
But this time, his threats didn't seem to work.
Xin Ping was so aggrieved that tears began to fall from her eyes. Even though he was covering her mouth, she still sobbed, "Wuwu, mother..."
“…”
"mother!"
Mingxin was a little surprised: "Oh, so you can talk?"
"Father...Mother..."
After hearing what he said, Xinping cried even harder.
In fact, it is not surprising that Mingxin thought she could not speak. However, children over one year old originally learn to speak by imitating what adults say. But ever since she came out with Ran Xiaoyu, Ran Xiaoyu has become a person of few words. And during these days when she was taken care of by Mingxin, Mingxin was afraid of attracting other people's attention, so he asked her to be quiet and not cry.
If you can’t learn to speak, you will naturally speak less.
But at this time, she seemed to have felt extremely aggrieved, crying loudly for her father and mother, and her tears soon wet Mingxin's palms.
Ming Xin could only hold her in his arms and coax her softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry."
“…”
"Well, we won't live here anymore. Let's go out and look for your mother today, okay? I will definitely help you find your mother!"
“Woo…”
Xinping was different from some of the spoiled children and princesses who were born into wealthy families. She was very susceptible to being coaxed. After crying for a while, she stopped sobbing.
Mingxin helped her wipe her face quickly, then said, "I'll go ask the shopkeeper for some food later. Once we're full, we'll leave, ha."
"Woo woo, mother..."
Just as Xinping was crying and calling for her mother, Nanyan was running quickly in another dark alley.
Her heart was beating very fast.
Her ankle was just slightly sprained, but fortunately she couldn't speak, and couldn't even cry out in pain. She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain. Without even a break, she ran away in the night.
Now, she needs to follow the path she remembers and return to Prince Ning's Mansion.
No matter what happens to others, she wants her daughter to be safe and sound.
And Ran Xiaoyu...
She must have escaped from the palace with Xinping for herself and to stand up for justice. At this point, she couldn't just abandon her.
We must rescue them.
Must do!
She almost gritted her teeth and kept repeating this sentence in her mind. However, no matter how determined one's heart was, the pain in her body could not be ignored. The pain in her ankle became more severe as she ran forward step by step.
pain!
The pain is excruciating.
Her body was stumbling, and even when she reached the street corner, her ankle felt sore and weak, and she suddenly lost her balance and fell forward.
"ah--!"
She uttered a low cry of surprise.
At this moment, a tall figure suddenly jumped out from the front, stretched out his hand, and hugged her in his arms.
That familiar feeling made Nan Yan's heart move.
I raised my head and looked at the pair of bright eyes in the dim light.
“No harm…?”

At this moment, Zhu Feng was sitting at the table, looking at the servant standing in front of him, his brows slightly furrowed.
What? I think I heard a child crying?
Is it an illusion?
Or - a dream?
Last night, he had a chaotic dream all night long. In the dream, sometimes he saw the slender back of the woman, as if she was about to leave him, which made him heartbroken; sometimes he heard the clear laughter of a child, and the joy seemed to ease his burning mood.
The illusory images kept appearing before his eyes and lingering in his ears, making it impossible for him to calm down for a moment.
At this moment, although he was still sitting quietly at the table, he was actually exhausted.
But his face was calm without a trace of expression.
He just raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Have you found out the news?"
The attendant standing before him immediately whispered, "Your Majesty, Prince Ning made the move the day before yesterday."
"How did he find Ran Xiaoyu?"
"According to my subordinates' investigation in the city, it seems that Ran Xiaoyu and Her Royal Highness the Princess appeared in Changqing City a few days ago, but were later pursued by people from Prince Ning's Mansion and disappeared."
"Then where did Prince Ning find her the day before yesterday?"
"It is said to be a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city, called Dabao Temple."
"A Buddhist temple?"
"Yes."
"What about the people in the Buddhist temple?"
“I heard that almost all of them have been arrested.”
"Basically, does that mean there are still some fish that slip through the net?"
"I've heard that Prince Ning sent people to search the area around the Buddhist temple for a while before leaving Dabao Temple. I think there might be some fish that slipped through the net, but they reportedly found nothing, so he returned to Prince Ning's mansion."
“…”
Zhu Feng's breathing became heavy.
At this time, Qin Ruolan came in with her two maids and bowed gently to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty."
"Um."
Zhu Feng was thinking about something at the moment and didn't say much. He just waved at her lightly.
When Qin Ruolan saw that there were obviously more attendants around her than those transferred in the previous two days, she immediately guessed that Zhu Feng was going to send troops.
"Your Majesty, are you really going to Prince Ning's Mansion today?"
Zhu Feng glanced at her.
"You don't want me to go?"
For some reason, Qin Ruolan's heart trembled when she looked at him, as if in an instant, even his soul was seen through.
She could only lower her head and said softly, "I am just worried about the emperor."
“…”
For some reason, although he was clearly concerned about her, Zhu Feng felt that her words were boring.
Then he said calmly: "I have my own ideas."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. Qin Ruolan was a little anxious and hurriedly followed him: "Where is the emperor going?"
Zhu Feng didn't say anything. He went out and indeed arrived at Si Nanyan's door.
Lian'er, who was standing behind Qin Ruolan, saw this and suddenly a smug expression appeared on her face. She quickly lowered her head so as not to be noticed.
Zhu Feng had already asked the two guards at the door: "How is she?"
"In reply to the Emperor, the room has been very quiet."
"It's been quiet?"
Hearing these words, which should have been reassuring, Zhu Feng suddenly sensed something strange. He frowned and reached out to push the door open.
There was a loud bang and the door slammed into both sides.
The cold wind rushed into the room. There was no one in the room except for the open window on the other side, which was slightly fluttering in the wind.
When the two guards saw this scene, their eyes widened in fear: "This——"
Zhu Feng's face suddenly turned pale.
"What's going on?!"
