Thinking about it, Xuanyuan Zhenhua also felt that it made sense. He nodded his head, thinking that Lin Lin didn't even know that she had drugged his food. His martial arts and cultivation was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Maybe that face belonged to someone else.
The more he thought about it, the more his hair stood on end. He looked around, as if his eyes were watching his every move.
At this moment, Xiaoxiao could already feel the aura approaching her again, and her mind was extremely nervous.
"Woo woo!" The little thing yelled unhappily in the direction of the gate. It sounded even more sinister than if he had seen a wolf in the mountains at night.
This brat, he had a small confirmation that the woman was in the vicinity. Turning around, she carried Lil Thing towards the entrance of the courtyard. When she reached the door, she put down the little thing.
"Wu wu wu!"
Lil Thing landed on the ground and began to shout as it charged towards its target.
As for Ran'er, who was hiding in the dark, her hair stood on end as she saw Snowball approaching. Gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to turn around and leave immediately.
When she left, Snowball walked back to Tiny, rubbing her body affectionately against the bottom of her tiny pants and circling around her with her head in her hands.
"That's great! As long as you are here, no one will dare to come close to you. " Xiaoxiao purposely raised her voice and said loudly, as a warning to someone.
"Xiao-Xiao, how is Pingfei's health recently?" Xuanyuan Zhenhua stood in the courtyard, gazing through the hole in the wall at the figure of Ran'er as he retreated.
As he approached, he patted the creature's head in delight and gave it a thumbs-up.
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips into a smile, and gently replied, "Mother Qian is in great health, but her mind is always on royal father's body, and she fears that woman will harm you."
"Rest assured, I have a strong and sturdy body. Let Princess Pingping take good care of himself. When the time comes, I will definitely dress up the rouge hall again as I wish." This time, Xuanyuan Zhenhua gave a tiny pill of reassurance. At this moment, his heart was actually in a mess.
His thoughts had to be reorganized. Everything was not as simple as he had imagined, and perhaps Sue's death had something to do with the woman called Ran'er.
"Father, don't worry. This little one will definitely bring the matter to you. "Oh right, I'll go see Eunuch Lin later. Eunuch Lin is a good person." He thought of that night when Eunuch Lin had braved the heavy rain to see Madam Ping. He thought of the tears that had welled up in his eyes when he looked at his father's body, and felt extremely grateful to him.
Mentioning Eunuch Lin, Xuanyuan Zhenhua sighed, "That's right! "He has accompanied me for so many years that I have never given him anything."
"To Eunuch Lin, being able to be by Imperial Father's side is already the greatest gift. He is not related by blood, even if you gave him the entire family's fortune, what use would it be? " He went to inquire about Eunuch Lin's life in the early morning.
He, who was not even ten years old, was willing to enter the palace for the sake of his parents. Although he was beaten up and scolded, he had almost lost his life several times when he first entered and had never left this golden silk cage ever since.
For humans, the most precious thing is gratitude. He was precisely such a person, so he desperately accompanied his father by his side. In this world, other than love, one could live forever!
"Sigh …"
Xuanyuan Zhenhua sighed deeply. He had spent so much effort for so many years just for a few children and had countless women by his side. However, in the end, only Lin Zi could speak his heart.
It was an honor to have a daughter now that the heavens had brought her to him.
"Father, don't always sigh. You have to be happy and live for a hundred years." Xiaoxiao pouted her small mouth and shook her royal father's arm.
In the courtyard, the old and young began to talk about other topics. Snowball crouched at her little feet, then jumped into the Emperor's arms and quietly listened to their conversation. After a while, he jumped onto the ground and rolled around on the clean grass. He had a lot of fun playing around.
The conversation lasted until the afternoon. Unknowingly, a familiar face appeared at the entrance of the courtyard. Seeing that the Emperor and Xiaoxiao appeared exceptionally happy, he flung his sleeves and quickly walked in.
"Woo woo!" The little thing perked up its ears and stared at the incoming person.
"This son greets royal father. Long live royal father! "Long live!"
So it turned out that when Imperial Concubine Mei returned to her bedroom, she couldn't calm down no matter how hard she thought. With a flash of inspiration, he called Xuanyuan Yu into the palace. On the surface, it said that he was going to visit the Emperor who had just awoken, but in reality, it was a form of surveillance.
When he heard that his royal father had awoken Xuanyuan Yu was naturally happy, and that they had returned to the palace, he had no wings to fly to their side.
Then, he threw down the toy in his hand and hurriedly entered the palace.
"Get up!" Xuanyuan Zhenhua raised his hand and carefully examined his youngest son, whom he had not seen for a long time. Seeing that his son was in high spirits, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"Sister-in-law, you're finally back." Xuanyuan Yu saw that Little Qiao did not cover up her mouth and was stared at with a little wink, so she obediently choked back the rest of her words.
In the end, he was still a child who had grown up a lot. On the surface, he looked a lot more mature, but as soon as he spoke, he could tell that his childishness hadn't changed.
Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly. Such a young man would always be a little brother to her. If he were to marry such a husband, he would become a true kitchen maid in less than two years.
"Sister-in-law, why are you shaking your head? Was it because Yu'er was dressed apologetically today, or did he feel that Yu'er was being disrespectful to him? " Seeing such a small expression, Xuanyuan Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.
"No, I just feel that Master Four is becoming more and more handsome and more and more likeable. If you don't believe, ask your Imperial Father! "Little by little, she praised him. When she saw him nod, she sneakily went over and blinked before asking:" Has Fourth Master taken a fancy to a young lady's house?
He frowned, his frown nearly causing his entire face to furrow into a ball.
He looked at Xiao Xiaoshan with a dark expression, clearly displeased. "Does sister-in-law wish for Yu'er's marriage that much?"
It was a bit cruel to lose hope, but rather than letting him live with impossible expectations, it would be better to destroy his thoughts.
It was a little hard for his to bear, but when he saw the emotion in Xuanyuan Yu's eyes, he felt that what he had done was right. Tilting her head, she said very seriously, "Yu'er isn't young anymore. If I had married an imperial concubine earlier, I would have been able to reassure Imperial Father and mufei. It would have been great if there was someone else by my side to talk to."
Xuanyuan Zhenhua was overjoyed to hear this. He was just worried that he wouldn't be able to find a chance to speak, and in his heart, he was filled with gratitude for his wisdom. Therefore, he echoed, "That's right! "You're right, you're not lacking either. Tomorrow, let sister-in-law and your mufei help you see which lady is suitable for you. If you marry early and enter the sect, it'll help you grow faster."
He suddenly felt that his youngest son had also grown up, although he wasn't as wise as Qi'er, nor as domineering as Jie'er, nor as calm as Ye'er. But, this child also had his own, pure and kind. Having a family could indeed help a man mature quite a bit.
"No!" Xuanyuan Yu shook his head in disagreement. He was not a person that was easy to get rid of. Unless he could find a woman as adorable as this little one, he would rather have her seat empty.
"Then what do you want?" Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips in annoyance. Since the topic had already begun, if she did not settle this brat today, her royal father would not be able to rest in peace.
Xuanyuan Yu was not stupid and knew that this matter could not be forced on her father. After thinking about it, he thought of another person. Someone who lived alone like him, his beloved second brother, Xuanyuan Ye.
He blinked his eyes and said confidently, "Does royal father want to say that men should start a family and start a business?"
"Yes!" Xuanyuan Zhenhua nodded his head.
However, when Xiaoxiao heard this, she knew that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Xuanyuan Yu. After not seeing her for so long, this brat had become much more crafty.
Pretending not to understand, she drank a small sip of the hot tea that Xiu-Er had just poured. She looked at Xuanyuan Yu and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Second brother and third brother aren't married yet. Even if I wanted to marry an imperial concubine, it wouldn't be me!" Xuanyuan Yu was simply like a two-shot bird, directly throwinghiss two brothers into the well. This way, even if he was at the bottom, it wouldn't be her turn.
He firmly believed that it would be difficult to deal with second brother and even harder to deal with the three of them. It would probably be a few years later when royal father takes care of those two fellows, right?
Who knew what would happen to the palace in a few years?
Perhaps after his brother ascended to the throne, he had already become a famous prince who commanded the armies of the Azure Dragon Country. When he was famous, was he afraid of not being able to find a suitable woman for himself?
"That's right!" Why is your second and third brother so clueless? I heard that there are a lot of girls around them. " Hearing this, Xuanyuan Zhenhua frowned again. In the past, he'd heard that the women by Jie'er's side changed their clothes even faster, and Ye'er also had many female friends by her side. This Qi'er has already been a concubine for so long, but why hasn't the little brat made any move at all?
Something was not right! Something was wrong.
Rubbing his long beard, he carefully sized up Yu'er and found that his eyes had been rolling around his body all this time. And Little Qiao kept making faces. It seems that it really isn't that simple!
No wonder Ruoshui and Ji-er were always hostile towards Little Jun. So that was the case!
No!
If this continued, they wouldn't even need to fight for the throne. Something big would happen.
With an unintentional glance, he was able to see through the misgivings in royal father's heart. He honestly lowered his head and rolled his eyes. Even if he didn't finish Yu'er today, he might not be able to get off the stage.
After some thought, she smiled and raised her head to look at Yu'er. "Xiaoxiao, may I ask what Fourth Master is busy with these days?"
"What are you busy with?" Xuanyuan Yu looked at Xiaoxiao in puzzlement and frowned.
"How about I ask you? What are you busy with? " The emperor didn't know why he asked this question, but he was very curious.
"Ugh …"
Xuanyuan Yu was a little speechless under the two's stares. He thought for a long time before continuing, "Oh, royal father! "Yu'er has recently left the palace as well, and learned a few things about beauty and health outside the palace. He has recently opened a garden in the back garden, and has been busy taking care of the flowers and plants, as well as giving his mother many secret recipes for beauty."
"Plant flowers at this time of the year?" Seeing Xuanyuan Yu's proud appearance, Xuanyuan Zhenhua stared at him dumbfoundedly. Could it be that this brat's head was caught by the door?
"Hahaha!" "Hahaha!"
Xiaoxiao was provoked by her royal father's expression to the point of laughing out loud, while the two of them looked at her in puzzlement, causing her to immediately lower her head and obediently drink her tea before laughing out loud.
