Rui 'er was surprised that Yan' er and Little Shadow weren't here to pester him, but to find the Grand Tutor.
Yan 'er leaned on her brother's back and glanced sideways at him. "Come with us?"
Rui 'er immediately stopped his horse and asked seriously, "Are you serious?"
"When have I ever lied to you? Hehe, are you coming or not? "
Yan 'er giggled, her eyes turning into crescents and dimples appearing on her cheeks. She looked so harmless that it was easy to overlook her mischievous and scheming nature.
Rui 'er also returned a bright and happy smile. "That's great!"
Yan 'er was delighted by his reaction and immediately winked at Little Shadow. But Rui' er smiled and said, "That's great, you two can go by yourselves!"
Yan 'er's expression froze. Rui' er carried her on his back and placed her in front of Little Shadow.
He patted Little Shadow's head and said seriously, "Here, I'll leave my sister to you. Have a safe trip!"
He was clearly about the same age as the little shadow, and he was about the same height as the little shadow. He was not taller than the little shadow, but he acted like an elder brother as he stroked the little shadow's head and spoke in a serious tone. Most importantly, the little shadow actually smiled and nodded subconsciously.
Smack!
Yan 'er immediately stood on her tiptoes and slapped Little Shadow's head. It looked heavy, but it was actually light. "Why are you nodding!"
Little Shadow finally came back to his senses and scratched his head. He didn't say anything and just took a step back. As expected, Yan 'er and Rui' er didn't say much to him and the siblings started talking.
"Brother, are you sure you don't want to go? You'll regret it if you don't. I'll give you one more chance. Are you coming or not? "Yan 'er smiled slyly.
"No!" Rui 'er was firm. He had already planned to find an excuse not to return to the palace and go straight to the South to find a doctor after he returned from training. Before leaving the palace, he had already found out about the Grand Tutor's whereabouts from the Medical Department. The Grand Tutor would be staying in the South this summer. He didn't want to mess around with Yan 'er. If he traveled with her, he would be deafened by her noise in less than three days.
"Okay, okay, okay!" Yan 'er put her hands on her hips and said in a grown-up tone, "It's fine if you don't want to go. Little Shadow and I will go by ourselves!"
Rui 'er leaped onto the horse, intending to watch them leave before leaving. But who would have thought that after they got on the carriage, they would stop behind him without moving.
Yan 'er was sitting in the car, holding a piece of pastry with both hands and nibbling on it. Lil Thing appeared out of nowhere and sat on Yan' er's shoulder, also holding a piece of pastry and nibbling on it with relish. Little Shadow sat outside and pulled the reins.
The three of them looked at Rui 'er, who felt a little scared. According to his past experience, this was definitely not a good sign. Yan 'er must have dug a hole for him again.
"You guys … still aren't leaving?" he asked tentatively.
"Your Highness, you should leave first," the little shadow said.
Suspicion flashed across Rui 'er's eyes. Of the thirty-six stratagems, leaving was the best stratagem. Thus, he waved and left.
The horse galloped at full speed. After running for a while, he turned back to look. Seeing that Yan 'er and the rest had not followed him, he was still worried. He kept feeling that something was wrong.
However, he didn't stop and continued on his way. His father was afraid that Yan 'er would be tricked, but he wasn't. It was fine as long as Yan' er didn't trick others. With Little Shadow and the Shadow Guard around, he was at ease.
Just like that, Rui 'er traveled all day and tied the horse to a big tree to rest at night. Just as he was about to take out some dry rations, he smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
Someone's nearby?
Rui 'er followed the smell of barbecued meat and saw Yan' er and Little Shadow sitting in the bushes, eating barbecued meat.
Yan 'er was craving the food. Little Shadow broke off a drumstick and gave it to her while reminding her that it was hot.
"Yummy!"
Yan 'er took a bite and gave it to Little Shadow. "Brother Shadow, it's really good. Try it!"
"Princess, eat it. There's still a lot." Little Shadow smiled. He was like a gentle little brother in front of Rui 'er, but a gentle big brother next door in front of Yan' er.
He broke off another drumstick and handed it to Rui 'er, shouting, "Your Highness, you must be hungry. Come!"
Rui 'er pursed his lips and strode over.
He knew these two wouldn't let him off so easily. He didn't say anything and just sat down cross-legged, taking a big bite of the drumstick. He took a bite and was shocked. "Little Shadow, when did you learn how to roast meat?"
"I learned from Uncle." Little Shadow replied.
Uncle was referring to Jin Zi. Rui 'er and Yan' er called him Uncle, so Little Shadow followed suit.
Every year, Jin Zi and Mu Ling 'er would take some time to stay in the capital for a few days. Jin Zi had to report on the situation in Northern Li, while Mu Ling' er came to play with her sister and the children.
Yan 'er muttered, "I haven't seen Lil Ling' er in a long time."
"You'll see her this winter." Little Shadow smiled.
Jin Zi and Mu Ling 'er's daughter was called Jin Ling. Thus, Mu Ling' er was called Big Ling 'er and Jin Ling was called Lil Ling' er.
Lil Ling 'er was the youngest in the group at just over five years old. She could be said to be everyone's joy! She was as muddle-headed as her mother, but she inherited her father's shrewdness and became a muddle-headed little money-grubber! She was always muddle-headed when it came to other things, but when it came to money, she immediately became shrewd and stingy. She didn't know if it was because her father was called Jin Zi, but she had a soft spot for gold ingots. As long as she got her hands on gold, no one could cheat her of it except her father.
Once, Mu Ling 'er brought her to the palace to play. Han Yunxi jokingly asked, "You're called Lil Ling' er. Let your parents give birth to a little Jin Zi, okay?"
Lil Ling 'er was only three years old at that time. She nodded seriously. "Okay!"
Thus, when she returned, she immediately asked her father if she wanted to give birth to a little Jin Zi. Jin Zi, who didn't know the situation, threw a small gold ingot to her.
After that, whenever she wanted money, she would say, "Daddy, daddy, give birth to a little Jin Zi for me."
When this reached Han Yunxi's ears, Han Yunxi almost fainted from laughter.
Yan 'er loved Lil Ling' er dearly, doting on and protecting her as if she was her own sister.
Tang Hongdou, the head of the Tang Clan, was now twelve years old. She was just as greedy as Lil Ling 'er, but she also doted on Lil Ling' er. Knowing that she liked gold, she would secretly give her several gold ingots every time they met.
Yan 'er's mind wandered at the mention of Lil Ling' er.
When Rui 'er was full, he glanced at the tent that Lil Shadow had set up and asked seriously, "Lil Shadow, aren't you going to find your father?"
Lil Shadow nodded even more seriously than Rui 'er. "Mm!"
"I'm being serious with you!" Rui 'er was angry.
Lil Shadow was still serious. "Your Highness, the princess and I are indeed going to find my father."
Rui 'er's face darkened, but Yan' er laughed. "That's right, we're going to find the Grand Tutor!"
Rui 'er ignored them and walked to the tent to sit down.
Lil Shadow wanted to explain, but Yan 'er stopped him with a look. Lil Shadow didn't say anything, but a sneaky smile appeared on his lips. Even his sneaky look was so gentle.
Yan 'er hurried over and called the doctor sweetly, "Brother."
Rui 'er glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Yan 'er sat down beside him and hugged his arm, leaning on his shoulder. "Brother, can I tell you a secret?"
Rui 'er didn't say anything.
"Okay!" Yan 'er said with a sneaky smile.
Rui 'er looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "No, don't tell me. Hold it in!"
Yan 'er immediately let go and stared at him with wide eyes.
Rui 'er was amused and slowly smiled at her innocently. "Hold it in. Don't tell me!"
Yan 'er really didn't say anything. She covered her mouth with both hands and sat aside. Who knew if she was drawing circles or doing something else.
This girl could still hold it in and didn't mention it again.
Just like that, Rui 'er handed over the Shadow Guard in the dark and instructed him to keep watch. Then, he nestled in the tent with Lil Shadow and Yan' er to sleep.
Rui 'er slept in the middle with Lil Shadow on his right and Yan' er on his left.
At first, Yan 'er slept with her back facing her brother and didn't move at all. No one knew if she had fallen asleep. In the middle of the night, she finally turned around slowly and went over to Rui 'er, pushing him. "Brother … Brother, I'll tell you. I'll tell you, okay?"
"Brother, wake up. I'll tell you the good news."
"I surrender. Wake up. I want to tell you …"
…
She had been holding it in and thought she could do it! But after holding it in for an entire night, she still couldn't hold it in. She felt uncomfortable all over if she didn't say it out loud.
"Brother, wake up!"
She pulled hard. Rui 'er was still in a daze. "Don't be noisy. Sleep!"
"I have to say it! Wake up! "Yan 'er continued to pull.
Rui 'er was so sleepy that he had long forgotten about it. He pushed her away. "Don't be noisy. Sleep!"
Yan 'er continued to push and pull. "Brother, I'll tell you … I have to tell you."
The same sentence was repeated over and over again.
Finally, Rui 'er couldn't take it anymore and sat up. "Xuanyuan Yan, do you think I won't kick you out? So noisy! "
Yan 'er said, "If you want to kick me, you have to hear the good news first. I want to tell you the good news. Let me say it. "
Rui 'er's head drooped. "You win. Say it."
Yan 'er said, "Brother, the Grand Tutor isn't in the south. He's on Boundless Mountain near Medical City. Aunt Min wrote a letter to Little Shadow and told him to go find them. "
Yan 'er sighed in relief and murmured, "I'm finally at ease."
Rui 'er sobered up and turned to look at Little Shadow. "Shadow, is this true?"
Shadow wasn't asleep. He hadn't been woken up by the noise, but he hadn't slept at all. He was still missing his father and mother.
He turned around and gave her a warm smile. "Mm! I'm going to find my father and mother. "
"What are they doing on Boundless Mountain? It's a barren mountain. "Rui 'er was curious.
He went to the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds every summer, so he was very familiar with Medical City and its surroundings.
"I don't know either. My mother didn't tell me." Little Shadow crawled to his feet and murmured, "Your Highness, I'll tell you and the princess in secret. You mustn't let it leak! My mother said not to tell anyone, I'm the only one who can go. "
… …
Mo said, "Today's second and third watch will be very late. Please don't wait and come back tomorrow." Little Poison Consort's book has been confirmed and will be launched next year. There will be a new edition, please look forward to it. "
