"Mother!"

Xie Jiancheng hurriedly supported her.

The eldest princess grasped his wrist tightly, her voice trembling slightly as she looked at him for confirmation.

"Maybe Jing Yuan was too angry, so he didn't hear it, right?"

Xie Jiancheng didn't say anything.

Will it?

In fact, the princess herself didn’t believe this. She had watched Jing Yuan grow up since he was a child, and she knew Jing Yuan’s personality best.

If she had encountered something strange, she would have screamed, cried and made a fuss.

Could it be that Jing Yuan...her child...

"Mother!"

Xie Jiancheng shouted, "Someone come! Call a doctor!"

…

On the way back to the palace, Emperor Qixuan had a gloomy expression and closed his eyes in thought.

The air pressure in the carriage was a little low, and Chu Yaoyao moved her feet uncomfortably.

[What happened? ]

Chu Yao expressed his guess, "Father, did the Xiao family do something again?"

Apart from the Xiao family, he really couldn't think of anything else that could make his father's face change so suddenly.

Emperor Qixuan glanced at him, neither saying yes nor no, "Don't think too much."

As they were talking, the carriage had already entered the palace gate.

"Su Maowen, send the little princess back to Qionghua Palace."

"yes."

Being held by Su Maowen, Chu Yaoyao turned around and looked at them angrily.

[You actually hid it from me, you scumbag father! ]

Didn't you say you wouldn't yell like that? Ha, you bastard who doesn't keep his word!

His sight fell on Chu Yao standing beside him, and Emperor Qixuan returned to his senses, "Return to Chendong Residence as usual."

Then she looked at him deeply, "Do you know what to do?"

Chu Yao nodded. Of course, he had thought about it countless times.

Looking at his back, Emperor Qixuan felt a little reluctant. He really hoped that Chu Yao could grow up.

But this price...

Thinking of this, Emperor Qixuan's eyes turned dark, revealing a chilling coldness that made people tremble at the sight of them.

His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was as cold as ice. "Go back to the imperial study!"

Chen Dong's Office Chu Yao just walked in when he heard a scream.

"Hey, Third Prince, you're finally back!"

As soon as Xiao Anzi saw him, he hurried to greet him.

"What happened to you the night before yesterday?" Xiao Anzi looked at his expression carefully.

Under his sleeves, Chu Yao's fingers trembled slightly, and then he waved his hand impatiently.

"Hey! Don't mention it. After you led the guard away, I was about to sneak in when Xiao Zhuozi showed up."

Chu Yao sat down angrily and pounded the table. "He said he would not let me go in to see my mother!"

"You didn't go in?"

Chu Yao picked up a cup and prepared to pour water, but found the kettle was empty.

After hearing what he said, he thought of Xiao Zhuozi who helped him escape.

"What's wrong with you, slave? You ask questions all the time when you come back. Don't you even know to pour me a glass of water? You have no manners!"

"Yes, yes, yes, this servant deserves death. Your Highness, please forgive me."

Xiao Anzi slapped himself twice in the face and hurried to get the teapot.

When Chu Yao was the only one left in the room, he suddenly became deflated and drooped his shoulders slightly.

In fact, Xiao Anzi is my mother's man.

He should have thought of it earlier.

The footsteps gradually became clearer, and Chu Yao adjusted his expression, "Why are you so slow!"

Xiao Anzi smiled flatteringly and said, "I have fetched some nectar for you."

nectar?

Smelling a faint sweet fragrance, Chu Yao lowered his eyes.

This nectar was given by my mother.

Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Anzi seemed to be talking to himself.

"This nectar is His Highness's favorite. Now there is only half a can left. If Her Majesty was here, she would have prepared it long ago."

Hearing this, Chu Yao put the cup down heavily, and the nectar water he had just taken a sip of splashed everywhere.

"You know I'm worried about my mother, but you keep mentioning it in front of me. Are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me?"

Xiao Anzi knelt down hurriedly and said, "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Highness. But I see that Your Highness is worried, and I am anxious for you."

Chu Yao sneered in his heart. Worried about him? I'm afraid you're the one who's worried!

Xiao Anzi stood up, looked outside the door, then closed the door and leaned close to Chu Yao's ear.

"Your Highness, if you want to see the Concubine Xian, I will take you there at night."

"Really?" Chu Yao's eyes widened at first, then he curled his lips, "Are you still using the same method as last time? The guards aren't stupid, how could they be fooled twice?"

"Someone will help Your Highness then."

"cut!"

Chu Yao looked unconvinced, "This palace is used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Now that my mother has lost power, others can't even hide from her, so how could they possibly help?"

"Really!" Xiao Anzi couldn't help but raised his voice a little.

After realizing something was wrong, he leaned close to Chu Yao's ear and lowered his voice, "It was Lord Xiao's spy."

"Grandfather?" Chu Yao pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, how could I forget my grandfather? He is so powerful, he will definitely be able to save my mother!"

As he said this, he was about to run out.

"Oh, Your Highness, that won't work."

Xiao Anzi hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Xiao has been punished to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors. You won't be able to see him even if you go there."

"Why don't you wait until you meet the queen and then make a long-term plan?"

Hearing this, Chu Yao nodded and patted his shoulder, "That makes sense. Your Highness was right about you."

Xiao Anzi smiled flatteringly.

Sure enough, without the stupid Xiao Zhuozi instigating him, he became a popular person with weight in the eyes of the Third Prince! Seeing him like this, Chu Yao's eyes flashed with sarcasm. Did you believe it?

It seems like a good idea to use him to practice my acting skills.

…

Qionghua Palace

As Chu Yaoyao walked to the door, she saw two pairs of eyes staring at her.

She was so scared that she lowered her little foot that was about to step over the threshold.

Quietly took a step back.

【What's going on? 】

"Is the little princess back?"

Meng Jieyu stood up and looked at her with a little attentiveness, "Little Princess, do you still remember me?"

Chu Yaoyao took another step back.

[So enthusiastic? Even more terrifying. ]

If Chu Yaoyao hadn’t seen the favorability level above her head, she would have wanted to run away.

[It looks like a weird aunt who wants to kidnap children! ]

"Don't scare her." Concubine Shu walked forward and picked up Yaoyao.

"Yao'er, don't you remember? We met with Concubine Meng in Ci'an Palace."

Chu Yaoyao looked over and called out softly, "Aunt Meng."

"Hey!" Hearing the gurgling sound, Meng Jieyu's smile deepened.

【Why is the mouth here? 】

Concubine Meng gave Concubine Shu a look.

"Your Aunt Meng wants to ask, do you still have those things you gave to your mother before leaving the palace?"

"right!"

Meng Jieyu couldn't wait to take over the conversation, "I want to buy some."

After saying that, she looked at Yaoyao expectantly.

God knows how surprised she was when she discovered this magical thing.

This also...

So convenient!

She fell into water when she was a child and suffered from cold body. During those few days every month, she felt like her life was worse than death.

If there was something that could generate heat when attached to the body, there would be no need to get up in the middle of the night to drink hot water from a bottle.

And there are things that are more convenient than menstrual belts...

Thinking of this, her eyes became more eager.

[It turns out it was for the baby warmer. 】

…

Half an hour later, Meng Jieyu left with a tightly packed small package, feeling very satisfied.

In the room, looking at the dazzling gold on the table, Chu Yaoyao couldn't help but open her mouth, tears streaming down from the corners of her mouth.

She stretched out her little hand, waved at Meng Jieyu's back, and shouted in her heart.

[Rich lady, don't leave. I still have some! ]

【Give me another chance! 】
