Chapter 446 His Majesty is missing.
Sleeping in the open air, getting up early and sleeping late, and having to deal with killers who suddenly appeared from nowhere, after such a long time, Siming suddenly relaxed when he heard that he could take a rest.
As soon as he relaxed, his vigilance dropped sharply. The moment he turned around, his foot twisted and he bumped into the person behind him with a "bang".
The man's body was cold and hard, and even though he was a strong and healthy mortal, he still felt the pain so much that he uttered an impolite curse.
"...When you walk——" Don't you have eyes?!
"Uncle Gao!"
The excited voice of the young man behind him interrupted Siming's next words.
He was stunned for a moment before he could clearly see the appearance of the person in front of him.
The silver armor reflected the cold light, and the sharp-edged face showed the majesty of the commander, but the expression...
"Hey!" Gao Siyuan grinned, his smile as silly as if he had seen his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Jiang Yingcheng jumped up to meet him.
Gao Siyuan squatted down with a loving look on his face and held the little guy in his arms.
During the whole process, no one looked back at Si Ming who was hurt.
Siming: “…”
Does anyone still care about the old man who was hit? !
Do I have to make him fall down and scream in pain? !
…
Gao Siyuan led everyone directly to a nearby house.
Ever since Zhong Chengwang traveled all the way to their camp to report the news, they had deduced several possible final destinations of the young man from his location, sent people to prepare the yard in advance, and dispatched a large number of personnel to patrol the city, attempting to stop him halfway before he reached the camp.
Gao Siyuan was fortunate enough to "win the prize", but... after the initial excitement he felt when he saw it wore off, he fell into a state of slightly anxious tension.
Thinking of the situation he would face next, he felt like rubbing his hands in anxiety.
"His Majesty said," Gao Siyuan carefully considered his words, "the war is at its most critical moment, and he cannot leave for the time being. He is afraid that the presence of the young prince will distract him, so..."
He looked at the boy's puffy cheeks and said the following words almost with his eyes closed: "So, I want you to rest here for a while. When the war is not so intense, His Majesty will come to pick you up in person."
Jiang Yingcheng went through almost the same mental journey as Gao Siyuan.
The moment the words "Little Prince" appeared, she suddenly realized that her identity had been exposed and she could no longer feel at ease being called Little Prince.
She looked around the small courtyard, which was obviously not fully furnished.
Uncle Gao's words today showed that... the emperor neither wanted to see her nor run around, so he arranged for them to live in this small courtyard that he had obviously just bought, and sent many people to guard it.
Jiang Yingcheng felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head, and he began to panic belatedly.
The emperor knew her identity and no longer wanted her.
The indescribable grief enveloped the little figure. Jiang Yingcheng slightly bent down and said in a low voice, "Chengcheng knows."
Gao Siyuan prepared a long speech but only opened the beginning: "???"
So easy to talk to?
This shouldn't happen...
…
After a simple dinner, Jiang Yingcheng curled up in his assigned room and lay on the bed.
[Father knows the truth...]
Roll from the edge of the bed all the way to the innermost part.
[Father, please don’t be so clear…]
From the innermost part, roll to the edge of the bed.
“Boom—”
After a loud muffled sound, a suppressed cry was heard again in the empty room.
“Woo woo woo…”
Le Chen, who was guarding outside the door, felt distressed. Just as he was about to push the door open, another voice suddenly came from inside -
[Then, then Cheng Cheng should prepare the note and hand it directly to Uncle Gao...]
The dust stopped.
Although they had heard some of the Prince Xin's intention to rebel from the young lady's thoughts, they knew nothing about the details. Giving the young lady some time to sort it out and hand it over to Gao Siyuan was indeed the best option at the moment.
There was another rustling sound from inside, and it sounded like the kid had already found paper and pen and was thinking about how to start writing.
Le Chen looked up at the dense guards all around him, thought for a moment, then walked out of the yard.
He has to ask that Gao what the meaning of today's drama is!
When Liaochen rushed into the room of "Gao", it was already crowded with people.
The few people who could hear the young man's thoughts looked like they had been there for a long time. Each of them had a cup of steaming tea in their hands, but no one could really calm down and taste it. They all stared at Gao Siyuan's face with unfriendly expressions, as if they wanted to stare a flower out of the other's face.
Seeing Chen suddenly appear here, everyone looked over in surprise.
Regardless of the joy of being rescued, Gao Siyuan subconsciously said: "Why are you here too?!"
Isn't it your turn to accompany the little guy outside today? !
"Writing a note." Liao Chen said briefly.
After a pause, he added: "I've already cried once."
Different from her previous cries of arrogance, this time she suppressed her cries with all her might. If it weren't for his extraordinary hearing, it would have been difficult for him to notice.
Gao Siyuan fell silent.
However, a few people didn't want to wait too long.
"What on earth is going on?"
They all knew that Emperor Mingze had already known the truth about the true and false heirs, but Emperor Mingze was always worried that they would reveal the truth in front of the little guy. When discussing countermeasures, he never told them, the group of people who had been guarding the little guy.
Gao Siyuan's eyes swept across the faces of several people one by one, and then he sighed deeply.
The first thing he said was: "Your Majesty is gone."
"!!!"
The expression of Xingshi's accusation changed immediately: "What?!!"
They thought of countless possibilities, but they never expected that Gao Siyuan would say such a groundbreaking thing as soon as he opened his mouth.
"How come His Majesty is missing?!"
The room was full of top experts, and Gao Siyuan was not afraid of spies coming over to eavesdrop, so he told them the truth.
"Six days ago, our army successfully broke through the Beiming border. The enemy was completely defeated and could only wait for our army to march straight in, retake the border city, and then attack forward."
"That night, our army attacked the second city. The enemy was frightened and had already withdrawn, leaving only the elderly, the weak, women and children to defend the city... Our army successfully captured it without losing a single soldier."
"If that's the case," Liaochen frowned, "Why would Your Majesty still..."
Gao Siyuan felt a bitter taste in his throat: "The bad thing is that the 'Peach Blossom Land' map that the young prince once drew is right between the second and third cities."
"Your Majesty was eager to seek talented people, so he personally led a team of elite soldiers to go there, but once they left... they never returned."
They had not received the message that was supposed to be sent within three days, and now the entire camp was extremely anxious.
It was not until three days ago that Zhong Chengwang found them that they hastily decided on such a terrible plan.
Everyone in the room was silent.
If they were in their place, they couldn't think of a better way.
After a while.
Gao Siyuan suddenly came to his senses: "By the way, what is the little prince writing on this note?"
"Oh, it's about Prince Xin," Liaochen nodded casually, "Prince Xin's family seems to want to take advantage of Your Majesty's attack on Beiming to cause trouble. The little guy wants to--"
He got stuck halfway through his sentence.
The relief and contemplation on Liaochen's face were frozen at the same time, mixed with a bit of panic from the sudden reaction, making him look a bit funny.
"It's broken!"
Everyone looked at each other and spoke at the same time.
