"Mother, why? Don't you like Tangtang very much too?"
Huo Chenyi didn't understand.
Mingming's mother had previously supported his idea of finding Tangtang and bringing her to the capital.
Why stop him now that we've finally found him?
"You already attracted a lot of attention with your grand gestures before. If you go in person now, do you think Huo Minglang won't send people to assassinate you along the way? Don't let yourself be dead before you even see Chi Tang!"
Humans are selfish.
She was grateful to the Chi family for bringing warmth to her son.
But what she cares about most is always her son's safety!
“Mother, I will be careful. But please don’t stop me, you can’t stop me anyway. Unless you kill me now!”
Huo Chenyi stopped asking questions and directly and domineeringly stated his attitude.
stop?
Can.
But as long as he doesn't die, he will go looking for it!
"Chen Yi!"
"Mother, have you forgotten what the holy monk said? Tangtang will influence my entire life. If something happens to her, my life will also change."
Upon hearing Huo Chenyi's words, Princess Duanyang hesitated.
However, Princess Duanyang quickly made a decision: "Don't worry, His Majesty has been sending people to protect Chi Tang's safety. You can rest assured."
She wasn't the only one who believed the holy monk's words.
Even the emperor's elder brother held the attitude of "better safe than sorry."
Even if it's not true, it's just a little trouble to protect a little girl and help her grow up safely.
"I won't feel at ease until I see Tangtang is alright with my own eyes."
Huo Chenyi refused to budge.
No one can protect Chi Tang as reassuringly as he himself is by her side.
Moreover, His Majesty would never send anyone unless Tangtang's life was in danger. Furthermore, he wouldn't consider the safety of the rest of the Chi family.
This time he regretted it terribly.
After his mother recovered, he should have personally gone to pick up the Chi family.
Otherwise, so many problems wouldn't have arisen!
"Why are you so stubborn, child? Do you really think you're more reliable than the people His Majesty sent out?"
Princess Duanyang truly did not want her son to leave the capital.
Huo Minglang has gone completely mad.
Last month, she actually came to her and said she wanted Chenyi to help her perform a religious ceremony.
She sent someone to inquire secretly and learned that a master had calculated that Huo Minglang's current son's fate was being suppressed by Huo Chenyi.
Previously, Huo Chenyi's destiny was suppressed by the other party.
However, after returning from his trip to Jinyang City, Huo Chenyi's fate changed.
Moreover, Huo Minglang's children have indeed been quite unlucky lately, either getting injured or falling ill, it's like a series of unexpected disasters.
So, how could Princess Duanyang feel comfortable letting her son tell anyone?
What if I get kidnapped by that heartless Huo Minglang and forced to perform a ritual?
"Mother, but I want to protect Tangtang, I want to stay by her side." Huo Chenyi's tone suddenly softened. The thin little boy, who was less than a meter tall, knelt down with red eyes.
"She's different to me."
"I want to save her, just like I once longed for someone to save me, it's the same thing."
These two sentences brought Princess Duanyang to tears.
She understood.
The son's intention was not simply to save the Chi family.
He wanted to save his past self!
Chen Yi wanted to pull out the version of himself that had been locked in that dark little room!
"Chenyi, if you insist on doing this, your mother won't stop you. But your mother hopes that since you've made your choice, you will have no regrets, even in the face of death!"
Princess Duanyang squatted down in front of Huo Chenyi and said to him slowly and deliberately, "Chenyi, have I ever told you that although I hate Huo Minglang, you are the best gift God has given me?"
Huo Chenyi's heart skipped a beat.
Really?
Am I really a gift from God to my mother?
He always felt unlucky.
One of the main reasons is that if it weren't for him, perhaps the relationship between my mother and that person wouldn't have gotten this bad.
Or perhaps his eyes... if they were a normal color, they wouldn't look like this.
"Son, go. Don't worry, Huo Minglang will definitely not dare to send anyone to hunt you down this time."
"Mother?"
Huo Chenyi was somewhat confused.
What did my mother say?
"Alright, take more men with you and go. I'll have the Vermilion Bird team protect you secretly."
"No. The Vermilion Bird Squad is the Emperor's secret guards sent to protect you."
“I don’t need to. I am a princess, who in this capital city would dare to lay a hand on me? If Huo Minglang really has a death wish, your uncle will definitely not let him live.”
Princess Duanyang told her son not to worry.
Huo Chenyi did not refuse and set off immediately after saying goodbye.
Standing in the night breeze, Princess Duanyang pulled her heavy cloak tighter around herself and coughed twice.
Bihe, the head maid beside him, sighed softly and asked, "Your Highness, the young prince is still so young, and traveling through the night is dangerous. Why didn't you try to stop him?"
The young prince is only five years old after all.
Even with so many people protecting him, can the young prince's body withstand the journey day and night, covered in wind and frost?
"Fortunately, it's not far from Beiyang City. If we ride at full speed, we should arrive by dusk tomorrow."
Princess Duanyang did not respond to the objection.
It cannot be stopped.
Moreover, his son was lifeless before, with no warmth or vitality visible on his face.
