Little Qinhuo had disappeared, and Princess Jing only discovered it half an hour ago.
But she had no intention of looking for him, as she was completely focused on finding Tianbao.
Tianbao felt a lump in his throat, picked up the purse, and found it was empty.
She looked carefully and saw the word "Xian" embroidered on the purse. This was the purse for the fairy sister. Did she take the wrong one?!
She must have taken the wrong thing. She would never steal Tianbao's purse.
Qin Huo, who had already left Xijing, sneezed suddenly. He touched the purse embroidered with the word "sweet" on his waist, and a faint warmth appeared in his cold eyes.
He opened the koi's mouth and saw a peace charm strung with a red string inside. He put it around his neck without hesitation, stuffed it into his shirt, and gently pressed it with his little hand. The sweet smile of the little milk bag seemed to reappear in front of him.
[In Fengyi Palace, the Second Prince, who was reading, shuddered inexplicably and got goose bumps all over his body: Where does the cold wind come from? Someone, close the window!]
As soon as Tianbao returned to Lewan Palace, she yelled at the top of her voice, "Mother! Mother!"
There was no one to answer except the echo: "Mother?"
The maidservant Cheng'er ran out with red eyes: "The princess is finally back! The queen is in Xuehan Palace."
"What's wrong with Empress Dong? What's wrong with my mother?" The little guy frowned anxiously and turned around to run towards Xuehan Palace.
Cheng'er explained the general situation as she ran: "The Emperor just lost his temper in Xuehan Palace, and no one can persuade him. Right now, no one dares to speak up for Concubine Dong, except the Empress... Alas!"
Tianbao's eyes turned red with anxiety. Mother, please don't let anything happen to you!
Before he ran into Xuehan Palace, he heard Concubine Wan sobbing from inside, but there was no angry rebuke from the tyrant emperor.
When I went in, I saw that Concubine Wan and the Third Prince were kneeling in the main hall, wiping their tears. The eunuchs and palace maids were also kneeling on the ground, but there was no sign of the tyrant emperor.
"Mother!" Tianbao pounced over with a pout.
When Concubine Wan heard her daughter's voice, she subconsciously opened her arms and took the little girl in her arms, choking with sobs, "Tianbao, are you back? Did you have fun outside the palace?"
Tianbao nodded and then shook his head.
She was living a happy life outside, but her mother and others were suffering in the palace. She felt so sad.
"Mother, get up. Third brother, get up." Tian Bao firmly wiped away the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes with the back of her hand. She held Concubine Wan with one hand and the third prince with the other.
The two of them shook their heads and knelt on the ground without moving.
Concubine Wan smiled bitterly: "My dear sweetheart, I'll ask Cheng'er to take you back to have dinner, wash up, and have a good sleep."
The tyrant emperor didn't tell them to get up, so no one dared to. Those kneeling there were all those who had pleaded for Concubine Dong before, and they had all been kneeling for more than an hour.
With tears in her eyes, Tian Bao knelt in front of Concubine Wan and touched her knees with her warm hands: "Does it hurt, mother?"
Concubine Wan felt warm in her heart and smiled softly with tears in her eyes: "It doesn't hurt, sweet baby, go back."
"Did my aunt make father angry?"
Concubine Wan was speechless. She thought for a long time, not knowing how to explain. Finally, she could only sigh, "It's your father who misunderstood her. My sister would never do such a thing. Mother believed her, but your father didn't."
The Third Prince, standing by, burst into tears again. "Mother is not having an affair with anyone else! Mother and that man only spoke a few words, I saw it clearly!"
Tian Bao's clear eyes showed confusion: "What is a private affair?"
Concubine Wan: ...How can she explain this?
The Third Prince said woodenly, "It's just that my father suspects that I'm not his son, but that my mother and I were born to another man."
Tianbao took a breath, she knew about this kind of thing!
Not long after she was first adopted, her adoptive father had another woman and had a child with another woman, leaving her mother behind. Her mother cried every day, cursed her with all sorts of nasty words, and took her anger out on her by beating her. Once, she was nearly beaten to death, and only after someone called the police did her adoptive mother return her to the orphanage.
Tianbao silently took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the third prince's face.
The Third Prince looked at her intently and said softly, "Thank you, Tianbao."
"Third brother, don't cry. Father is sad, so he's losing his temper." Tianbao thought that her father must be like her first adoptive mother in her previous life, heartbroken and that's why he acted like this.
The Third Prince turned his head away and said, "Humph! I think he is blind, heartless, and deaf. Mother always speaks well of him, what does he know?"
Tianbao bit his lower lip and looked sad for a while with a bitter face.
“Gurgle…”
“Gurgle…”
Tianbao and the Third Prince's stomachs rumbled one after the other. Tianbao touched his shrunken belly and asked, "Mother, have you had your meal?"
Concubine Wan shook her head and said, "Cheng'er, take the princess back to dinner."
This time, Tianbao was no longer stubborn. He stood up and quickly disappeared into the night.
After a cup of tea, Tianbao came with a group of eunuchs and palace maids, each holding food in their hands.
"Mother, let Tianbao feed you!"
Concubine Wan couldn't bear to refuse, but she didn't open her mouth for a long time: "Tianbao hasn't eaten yet, Tianbao eats first."
"Mother, do you want to eat? If mother doesn't want to eat, Tianbao won't eat either! Father didn't forbid you from eating." Tianbao pouted her lips high, and a layer of mist quickly filled her big eyes.
Concubine Wan felt distressed and helpless and could only open her mouth.
Tianbao immediately burst into laughter, fed a spoonful to Concubine Wan, and then picked up another bowl to feed the third prince.
The eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground in Xuehan Palace looked at them enviously and lowered their heads silently.
They didn't know how long they had to kneel and how long they had to go hungry. Fortunately, the little princess was filial, so the masters didn't have to go hungry at least.
Soon, plates filled with food were handed to them one after another.
The kneeling eunuchs and palace maids looked up in surprise: "Slave... also?"
As Cheng'er and the others were dividing the food, they said, "The little princess said there's something for everyone, so hurry up and eat."
The palace maids, who were prone to tears, choked with sobs and kowtowed to the little sweet baby: "Thank you Princess Yongle for your gift. May the princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"
Concubine Dong treated them well, and they pleaded for mercy out of conscience. Some of them had begun to regret after kneeling for so long. But at this moment, their wavering hearts became firm again.
Little Sweetie felt a little embarrassed, it was just a bowl of rice.
She said in a baby voice, "You're all great! Madam Dong is a good person. She's good to you, and you should be good to her too. That's called... repaying kindness!"
"It's a way of repaying a favor." The third prince smiled, and the gloom in his heart was dispelled a lot.
Little Sweetie said seriously: "Yes! Yes, read the newspaper!"
The Third Prince shook his head and did not correct her.
"You are full and loyal, you are all great! Tianbao will bring you food tomorrow!" After she said this, she turned and ran away.
The eunuchs and palace maids were at a loss whether to laugh or cry: Little princess, there is no need to do that. We don’t want to keep kneeling.
Under the soft moonlight, the little sweet boy in a red riding suit rushed straight to the Lingxiao Palace like a ball of warm fire.
There was a solemn and cold atmosphere in the Lingxiao Palace, and there was no sign of the tyrant emperor.
Tian Bao was frantically running around when she saw Zhang Fujin returning to Lingxiao Palace to get his cloak. She quickly jumped over and said, "Eunuch Zhang! Where's my father? Where is he hiding and crying?"
Zhang Fujin was so moved when he heard this familiar sound that tears streamed down his face. "The little princess is back! That's great! Let's go and persuade the emperor!"
