Chapter 23 Going to Find the Ancestor
After Prince Qing left with Princess Zhaoning, Nanny Feng gritted her teeth and walked over to Chuntai.
As the housekeeper of Prince Qi's mansion, this was not the first time she had dealt with Chuntai, but every time she saw her face with the horrifying scars, she still felt scared.
"Miss Chuntai, this courtyard is filled with the stench of blood. Could you please give Princess Yihe a guest room?"
"No." Chuntai said without thinking, his tone cold enough to quench ice.
"Since you are staying at Prince Qing's Mansion, you must abide by its rules."
She glanced at the red carpet on the ground in the yard, sneered, and a murderous aura spread around her.
"Madam Feng, are you dissatisfied with the smell of blood? If my prince hadn't gone to the yamen today, wouldn't this blood belong to my Princess Zhaoning and the guards of Prince Qing's mansion?"
"You reap what you sow... Princess Yihe is still young, so her mistakes are understandable. But you, an old servant who manages the palace and is buried up to your neck in the earth, don't you understand things?"
Seeing that Nanny Feng, who always acted bossy, was actually being pointed at and scolded by a maid in her early twenties, several palace maids hurriedly carried Yun Yihe back to her room.
Seeing that there were only a few imperial guards left in the courtyard, Chuntai, who had been suppressing her anger, raised her hand with lightning speed and slapped Nanny Feng in the face with a "slap" sound. The girl's eyes were rolling around and she seemed to be thinking about something.
The force was so strong that not only did the opponent fall sideways to the ground, but two of his teeth also flew out with blood.
"ah!!"
She screamed in shock, covering her face, and looked at Chuntai looking down at her in disbelief, her mind still confused.
Meeting her gaze, Chuntai curled her lips and smiled beautifully, but in the eyes of Nanny Feng, it looked sinister.
"I saw that Princess Yihe was so sad that she couldn't even cry out loud. She just kept crying silently... I'm afraid that learning etiquette won't be possible today. The kitchen will send you food and water, and you can settle down on your own."
…
On the way back to Lifeng Hall, little Tangbao kept hugging her father's neck tightly.
"Daddy is so awesome! Daddy is a hero!!"
"Daddy will protect Tangbao, Tangbao must reconcile with Daddy."
As she said this, she slapped Prince Qing hard on the face.
The man's face turned red and he smiled suddenly. It turned out that being admired by the person he cared about felt pretty good.
Since the little thing thinks he is a hero, then he will be her hero for the rest of his life!
"Congratulations, Tang Bao, on getting a title. What gift do you want? Daddy will give it to you."
"Really?" The little guy's eyes lit up instantly.
"I knew Daddy is the hottest!" Little Tang Bao rubbed his forehead against the man's face and said happily, "Then Daddy will take Tang Bao to the pills tomorrow, okay?"
Sister Chuntai said that everything is almost ready and they can distribute porridge and cold-weather supplies tomorrow.
Since she was treating everyone to buns, she had to go and take a look!
"Okay, Daddy?"
"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy~"
Prince Qing's head hurt because of her noise, but he felt so happy in his heart that he felt light-headed when he walked.
"That's not impossible, but you have to go somewhere with me today."
"Okay!" Xiao Tangbao agreed without thinking. It was a good thing to be able to go out. She hadn't been out on the street for a long time.
And... maybe Tang Bao can see his mother while walking on the road!
…
Half an hour later, Chuntai's back teeth were almost broken as he watched the carriage moving further and further away.
What family head would just go to the grave on a whim? And in the middle of the day, anyway?
Not to mention that after the old prince was buried in the wilderness, the master never visited his grave.
Even if the master can really find the old prince's tomb according to the map, it will be dark by then!
It would be fine if he did it himself, but the little princess is only three and a half years old this year. What if she touches something dirty, gets scared, or gets sick?
Chuntai didn't know that Tangbao was invulnerable to ghosts and spirits. From birth until now, only the bewildered female ghost in red and the guilty Yanli had ever approached her; other spirits had stayed away from her.
She was extremely worried, but there were outsiders living in the mansion, and the Zhao family still refused to come and pick up Yun Yanyao, so they couldn't just throw her out...
Chuntai knew that even if she was worried about the little princess, she had to stay in the mansion and keep a close eye on her.
She glared at Chengfeng, who shuddered and immediately said, "I'll bring another team to follow secretly! No, two teams. I'll personally lead two teams of secret guards to follow the prince and the young princess."
After saying that, he ran away.
There's nothing he can do. It's his fault that he hasn't been able to defeat this living ancestor for so many years!
…
Tang Bao sat in the carriage, swaying from side to side, humming a song, and secretly looking out the window.
But the more I look...
Why are there fewer and fewer people on the road? Gradually, even the houses are no longer visible?
Something was wrong, very wrong... If the person sitting opposite her wasn't her biological father, she would have suspected that she had encountered a human trafficker.
"Daddy, where are we going?"
"Daddy will take you to meet your ancestors."
ha?
Before little Tangbao could fully understand what his father meant, the carriage slowly stopped with a "whoosh".
Standing at the foot of the mountain, the little guy's smile disappeared from his face and he looked visibly haggard.
"Dad, shouldn't the imperial mausoleum be outside the city? Why did Dad take Tang Bao to climb the mountain?"
"Oh, those lying in the imperial mausoleum have never blessed us. What kind of ancestors are they?!"
Prince Qing picked up little Tangbao with one hand and walked up the mountain according to the direction marked on the map. He said, "The day I found you was the anniversary of your grandfather's death... I will take you to see him and express my gratitude."
Although there were not many weeds in winter, the mountain path was still difficult to walk on. Prince Qing was holding the child and it was very difficult for him to walk.
Little Tangbao rested her head on her father's shoulder and yawned. Prince Qing patted his daughter's head and said lovingly, "If you're sleepy, take a nap. Wait until your father calls you."
The little guy fell asleep quickly, and when he opened his eyes again, it was dark.
"Dad, why haven't we found Grandfather yet?"
"..." Prince Qing was also puzzled. Yes, why couldn't he find it? Wasn't he following the route marked on the map?
Suddenly...
With a "whoosh" sound, an arrow flew out of the bowstring and headed straight for Prince Qing and his daughter.
The arrow was so powerful and so fast that Prince Qing subconsciously threw Tang Bao aside.
The moment he let go, he clearly saw the masked man in black in the forest, holding a bow and nocking a second arrow...
Without giving it much thought, he immediately ran deep into the forest—just to use himself as bait to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
"quick!"
"Protect the prince!!"
"Protect the princess!!!"
As the secret guard roared, a cold arrow whizzed past his ear...
Night birds fly together, startling the sky.
The next moment, everyone realized in shock that the person they had killed was not His Royal Highness Prince Qing!
But...
