Chapter 36 I cried. How could my father's love be so heavy?

Cheng Yunmeng left Yu's study drenched in sweat, and just as he returned to his own courtyard, he collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Xingran was even shocked.

He hurriedly helped his mother back into the house, handed her a cup of warm water, and then began to comfort her in a low voice: "Mother, today we can be considered to have turned a disaster into a blessing, you don't have to worry too much."

Not only did they solve the trouble in the courtyard today, but Emperor Mingze also replaced the palace maids in their courtyard. The days when even the palace maids could bully them are finally over.

Cheng Yunmeng gently stroked Jiang Xingran's hair and shed tears secretly.

How could he know that today they had really been through the gates of hell?

If it weren't for the little guy's voice, the knife that Xuntao stabbed today would have stabbed both mother and son in the future!

There is more in her heart than just worry.

Lucky, scared, confused...

All kinds of emotions came flooding back at once, making her head feel dizzy.

Looking around in confusion, she saw several mahogany lunch boxes piled in the corner of the wall: "What are those?"

Jiang Xingran followed Cheng Yunmeng's gaze and said hesitantly, "It should be carried by those eunuchs who followed Jiang Yingcheng today."

Although the situation today was chaotic, he still noticed that they were carrying too many lunch boxes.

At this moment, their stomachs began to growl.

Jiang Xingran was silent for a moment, then said with a stern face, "I'll go take a look."

The exquisitely crafted mahogany lunch boxes were opened one by one, revealing even more exquisite plates of snacks inside.

He paused only for a moment, then calmly took out two plates of food, wanting to go back and share them with his mother.

Today's lunch was ruined by Zui Lan, and he and his mother are still hungry.

Just before turning around, he spotted a pink purse in the corner of the lunch box.

Cheng Yunmeng also came over: "Xiao Yingcheng's wallet?"

There was a very cute rabbit embroidered on it, and you could tell who it belonged to at first glance.

Neither of them took it too seriously.

"I'll go to Xingshuang Palace and send it back to her later. Let's eat first." It was already past dinner time, and it would be difficult to go out and get food.

Cheng Yunmeng hesitated: "But these..." These are all Xiao Yingcheng's things.

"Don't worry," Jiang Xingran said, "Without Jiang Yingcheng's order, there is no way that eunuch would put things here without permission."

They usually serve his father, the Emperor. If they are not careful, they will lose their heads. They would never make such a mistake.

It could only be that Jiang Yingcheng left it for them on purpose.

After dinner, Jiang Xingran changed into the most formal clothes, put his small purse in his pocket, and walked towards the Xingshuang Palace.

The palace maid in charge of communication quickly welcomed him in, but the only one who received him was Concubine Wan.

The candlelight in the room cast a soft light on Fang Siwan. She gently tidied her hair and said softly, "Chengcheng just returned to the palace and is being taken to the bath by the maids. If the Seventh Prince is not in a hurry, can he stay in the palace and wait for a while?"

Fang Siwan quietly observed Jiang Xingran's expression: "Chengcheng started talking about going to play with her seventh brother since yesterday."

Jiang Xingran shook his head, took out the purse from his sleeve, and said calmly like a little adult: "Xingran is only here to give you this purse today. Now that the things have been delivered, Xingran should go back to accompany mother."

It was warm and bright here. If he stayed any longer, he might not be able to control his anger.

Why did he and his mother have to stay in such a cold and dark courtyard? !

Why are the children of the same emperor treated so differently? !

Jiang Xingran clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the violence in his heart.

I have to get out of here quickly, he thought.

He stood up and was about to say goodbye, but he heard a small cry from the opposite side.

"Oh, Chengcheng wanted to give it to you."

Jiang Xingran was stunned.

Fang Siwan was also confused by Jiang Xingran's reaction.

"She was rummaging through her closet yesterday, saying she wanted to give a gift to her favorite friend. This purse is the packaging she chose for that gift."

She slowly stood up and stuffed the purse back into Jiang Xingran's hand: "I absolutely dare not accept this thing, otherwise Cheng Cheng will cry if she sees it at night."

Jiang Xingran slowly lowered his head and stared blankly at the purse that was stuffed back into his hands.

gift?

For him?

Could it be that Jiang Yingcheng was abducted by someone?

Why did she suddenly show her kindness to him so frequently?

He wanted to stay in the Xingshuang Palace to find out the truth, but after waiting for a while, a palace maid came in to report that the little princess had fallen into a deep sleep after taking a bath. He had no choice but to leave with the purse in his pocket.

After going out, he hesitated for a while, but finally he couldn't resist his curiosity. Under the still bright moonlight, he slowly reached out and opened the purse.

There are a dozen round and plump golden beans inside.

Refracting dazzling light.

Good-looking and practical.

Jiang Xing clenched his fists tightly, his thoughts churning.

Although he didn't know what Jiang Yingcheng was up to, he really needed this gift...

In the moonlight, there was a cold and determined light in the little boy's eyes.

At the same time, Jiang Yingcheng, who was sleeping soundly in the house, seemed to have dreamed of something good, and he laughed out loud while dancing with joy.

The next morning, Jiang Yingcheng opened his eyes when Fang Siwan called him.

Just as she looked up, she was almost scared to tears by the scene in front of her.

[What's up, Fei Si, is Cheng Cheng blind?! ]

The whole room was pitch black and she couldn't even see where her mother was!

Fang Siwan: “…”

Fang Siwan: "Qingbi, hold the light."

She had never gotten up so early before and almost overslept. As soon as she entered the room, she rushed directly to the boy's bed. She didn't even have time to ask for the lamp to be lit, which led to this scene.

Qingbi quickly turned on the light.

The candle lit up with a faint soft light from the flame of the tinder, and Jiang Yingcheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

【The baby is scared to death! 】

After this incident, Jiang Yingcheng finally came to his senses.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes with her hands and said in a low voice, "Mother, why did you wake Chengcheng up so early?"

Fang Siwan stroked Jiang Yingcheng's soft hair with some distress, thinking of Emperor Mingze's instructions the day before, and said softly: "Eunuch Changshun is already waiting outside. He said that your father suddenly missed you very much and wanted to see you all the time, so he sent him to pick you up."

In the past, this would have been an honor that many princes and princesses could not ask for, but Jiang Yingcheng let Qingbi put on the heavy tunic with an ignorant expression, with only one thought in her mind -

[Wuwuwu, how can father's love be so heavy...]

It's too early!
