"You're dreaming!" Hong Lie roared, slamming his phone on the couch.

He won't let Xiao Nuan face such cruelty alone!

Cha Apeng stood aside respectfully, looking at his nose and nose, and he didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere.

Hong Lie leaned against the back of the sofa chair, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

He remembered that the mysterious person's phone call, the strange voice said that the person to deal with was not Huo Liting at all, but him, the third prince of the Qingbai Kingdom......

Big brother, is that person the big brother?

Hong Lie's heart tightened, and his hand unconsciously grabbed the armrest of the sofa.

But before he could think about it, the phone vibrated in the crack of the sofa.

"What else do you want?" he thought it was Hong Min, and shouted angrily without even looking at the electricity.

On the other end of the phone, Huo Liyi was stunned by the yelling.

But Hong Lie spoke in Qingbai, he didn't have a receiver at all, he only speculated on the tone, and said not to be outdone: "What are you fierce? I just want to remind you that you promised to come to see my grandmother today, when will you come? My grandmother is waiting for you!"

Only then did Hong Lie glance at the number on the screen, confirming that it was Huo Liyi, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Now, I'll go out right now, soon." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone directly, got up and went upstairs to change clothes.

Cha Apeng cautiously followed, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, then, what about the current affairs of Mrs. and His Royal Highness Wang Sun?"

Hong Lie paused.

He held the handrail of the staircase and exhaled heavily: "Paper can't contain the fire, since they have to pierce this layer of window paper, then we simply open the skylight and say something." At this time, nothing is more important than the life of Nuan Nuan and Yuntian. ”

......

In the evening, the main residence of the Huo family.

In the brightly lit dining room, Aunt Ding instructed the servants to set the elaborate dinners on the table.

The aroma of Z country food, exotic Qingbai country special dishes, as well as Western-style simple meals and so on.

Old Mrs. Huo sat on the main seat, her gray eyes were in the direction of Hong Lie's seat, and she said politely: "Mr. Hong, I don't know what flavor you like when we meet for the first time, so I let my subordinates prepare some at will, please forgive me." ”

Knowing that the old lady couldn't see it, Hong Lie still stood up, leaned over and thanked him gentlemanly, before he said respectfully: "The old lady is polite, these are already very good." However, I really don't have much appetite, if the old lady has anything to say, I might as well get straight to the point!"

Huo Liyi just picked up the chopsticks and rolled his eyes unhappily: "Eh, what kind of attitude do you have, my grandmother is kind and prepared, who are you showing your face!"

Hong Lie once again respectfully apologized: "I'm sorry, old lady! I didn't mean to offend, but my son didn't come back, and I really couldn't eat it." ”

Huo Liyi put down his chopsticks with a "snap": "Pay attention to your words, Yuntian is the son of Ah Ting of our family." Don't think that if Ah Ting is not here, you can do whatever you want, I am ......"

"Ayi, you go back first. The dishes on the table, what you want to eat, directly ask Aunt Ding to pack it for you. Old Lady Huo interrupted, her tone unobstructed.

“......”

Huo Li was speechless, he looked at Hong Lie unwillingly, and then at the old lady, and finally lost in Aunt Ding's shaking head: "Grandma, am I here to eat......? Hey, forget it, Aunt Ding, I want this, this, and this. ”

He quickly pointed to a few dishes on the table, and got up to leave.

Aunt Ding didn't ask someone to pack it, so she directly asked the maid to pick up the dishes and follow Huo Liyi back to Beiyuan.

The rest of the servants, Aunt Ding dismissed them separately.

In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the huge main house restaurant, Aunt Ding, the old lady and Hong Lie.

"Mr. Hong, although I can't see your appearance, I feel your words and deeds, and I know that you are a good boy with a sense of education and responsibility, and you are worthy of being the prince of Qingbai Kingdom. Old Mrs. Huo was the first to speak.

Hong Lie hooked his lips self-deprecatingly: "Old lady, you have won the award." I can't even take care of my own son, so what kind of responsible person can I be? However, although I am not reliable enough, I can barely see who is reliable. Old lady, the most dignified and capable person in this family is only you. In front of you, I don't need to hide it, just say it directly. ”

Mrs. Huo was dumbfounded for a moment.

This kid is really undisguised for Yuntian's sincerity!

Immediately, she smiled lovingly: "Okay, since the goal is the same, then let's get straight to the point." Mr. Hong, I hope you can be open and honest and tell me all the information you have now. ”

"Of course. Hong Lie nodded solemnly: "My words will be very long in the future, if you don't understand anything, you can interrupt me at any time." But please be prepared for some unexpected situations that may exceed your expectations. ”

Old Lady Huo felt a bad feeling in her heart, but she didn't interrupt and nodded silently.

Hong Lie tried his best to control the speed of speech, but he still couldn't hold back the worry and anxiety in his heart, and told all the things about how he met Xiao Nuan and gave birth to Yuntian.

"Yuntian Freedom is very smart, he knows that after the Huo family had an accident, he came back alone. Although he didn't admit in front of you that he was the bloodline of the Huo family, his behavior can't deceive people, I'm sure you've already guessed it, right?"

"Yes, we have had a guess for a long time, but it is very comforting to hear you say it yourself, Mr. Hong. ”

Old Mrs. Huo grabbed it in the void excitedly, and Aunt Ding immediately handed her hand over: "It's our Ah Ting, and it's really the bloodline of our Huo family." ”

Aunt Ding shook the old lady's hand hard, and her voice trembled: "Yes, yes." ”

Mrs. Huo stabilized her emotions, turned her head like Hong Lie and said gratefully: "Mr. Hong, thank you, thank you for saving Xiao Nuan, and thank you for doing everything possible to keep Yuntian, and also give him the best life and education, and cultivate him so well." ”

Hong Lie said calmly: "From beginning to end, I treat him as my own son, and I will naturally give him the best of everything." The reason why I chose to confess to you at this time is actually selfish. ”

He paused before mustering up the courage to continue: "Yuntian's identity is already half-exposed in the royal family. Nuan Nuan was designed by my brother, and at this moment was confined to the dormitory by my father and mother. I have never coveted the throne, against my brother. But because of my weakness and incompetence, I can't even keep my wife and children now. ”

Old Lady Huo frowned, and her heart sank.

It turns out that the foreshadowing he just made is waiting here!

She held Aunt Ding's hand tightly, and said with relief: "Mr. Hong, it's not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself too much." Your generosity and kindness are the most precious qualities in this world. If it weren't for that, Xiao Nuan and Yuntian wouldn't have lived until now. ”

"But in the end, I still hurt them!" Hong Lie lowered his head, unable to hide his frustration.

Facing this gray-haired foreign old man, he actually felt more relaxed than facing his parents and family.

Perhaps, it is because there are no rules.

Perhaps, because they have the same goals......

Guilt is not something that can be relieved in a few words.

Mrs. Huo changed the topic at the right time: "Mr. Hong, we haven't been able to contact Ah Ting, do you know his whereabouts?"

Hong Lie was stunned for a moment, but still according to Cha Apeng's words, he told the old lady about Huo Liting's current situation.

"Old lady, what I can be sure of now is that Mr. Huo should still be alive, but his specific address and recent situation now, I'm afraid that even Nuan Nuan and my father and queen mother don't know, please forgive me. ”

Old Mrs. Huo and Aunt Ding's faces showed sadness at the same time, and their hands kept tightening until they were faintly painful.

After a while, Mrs. Huo let out a long sigh: "Sure enough, something happened." Thank you, Mr. Hong, for being outspoken about us. Regarding Yuntian's kidnapping, is there any progress on your side?"

Hong Lie moved his lips, thinking of Huo Liren's unpredictable face, he finally swallowed his words back, and shook his head with his eyes down: "I'm sorry, I know, I've already told Huo Liyi." The situation seems to be at an impasse. ”

Old Lady Huo's brows frowned imperceptibly: "Since that's the case, then Mr. Hong, I suggest you go back to Qingbai Country first." Although your parents won't touch Xiao Nuan for the time being, after all, she has the protection of the identity of a citizen of country Z, but it is difficult for others to say. Only when you go back, clear up the misunderstanding, and eliminate the hidden dangers can you thoroughly understand this matter. ”

Hong Lie's first thought when he knew that Xiao Nuan had an accident was to go back and save her.

"But, what about Yuntian?"

Old Mrs. Huo said solemnly: "Don't worry, no matter who he wants to recognize in the future, as long as he is willing to wade through this troubled water for our Huo family, we will not disappoint him." You have no better way or information on the news, so leave him to us with peace of mind! I assure you that we will get him back. ”

Hong Lie hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Okay." ”

He got up and bowed deeply to the old lady respectfully: "Old lady, I will entrust Yuntian to you." ”

"Don't worry!"

Mrs. Huo took advantage of Aunt Ding's support and stood up to send her off.

Watching Hong Lie go out and drive away, Aunt Ding helped the old lady turn around and said in a low voice: "If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, this Mr. Hong probably wouldn't have told the matter of Young Master Yuntian." ”

"Yes!" Mrs. Huo sighed and said with relief: "People's hearts, who is not selfish? However, I vaguely feel that what he said today may not be the truth, and he seems to have something to hide from us. ”

Aunt Ding frowned and thought carefully: "It seems a little strange for you to say this. Mr. Hong spoke very calmly before, whether it was talking about Sanshao or Sanshao's grandmother, but when you asked him about the clues to find Young Master Yuntian, he seemed to hesitate. ”

Old Madam Huo frowned and pondered for a moment: "Since he doesn't plan to say it, we shouldn't be able to ask." You first let Nanshan go to contact the embassy in person, and ensure Xiao Nuan's safety first. What happened back then was that our Huo family was sorry for her, and we couldn't let her be charged with being a spy because of this. ”

"Yes. Aunt Ding replied respectfully: "What about Young Master Yuntian?"

"Wait. I always felt that this incident was full of weirdness, and it should not be done by ordinary kidnappers, but like the malicious revenge of an acquaintance. ”

Aunt Ding's eyebrows sank.

But seeing that the old lady didn't mean to say any more, she didn't ask any more.

After helping the old lady to sit down, he bowed and retired.

......

Qingbai Country, Imperial Palace.

Xiao Nuan was anxiously walking around the dormitory, when he suddenly heard the guards outside the door say in unison: "See the queen." ”

She was slightly stunned, but reacted quickly, and immediately pulled her hair more messy, and slumped her shoulders so that her clothes hung loosely on her body.

As soon as Xiao Nuan was finished here, the door of the dormitory was pushed open, and Queen Tita walked in with a few maids.

Xiao Nuan greeted him respectfully and bowed down: "See the queen mother." ”

Her voice was low and dark.

Queen Tita looked at her haggard appearance, distressed, and hurriedly supported her: "I heard that you have basically not eaten much since you were grounded, and you specially asked someone to stew some supplements, you can pick what you like, and eat a few bites." ”

As she spoke, she raised her hand to the maids, who immediately put their things on the coffee table in the dormitory.

Matsutake mushroom chicken soup, papaya stewed snow clams, stewed bird's nest with rock sugar......

As the lid is lifted, the aroma fills the air.

Xiao Nuan shook her head wistfully: "I'm sorry, Queen Mother, I can't eat anything now, I'm just afraid that I'm going to waste some of your thoughts." Yuntian has not been found yet, and I am also a mother, and I hope that my mother can understand my feelings. ”

Queen Tida raised her hand and motioned for the maids to stand down before she lowered her voice and said, "Of course the Queen Mother can understand your feelings. The Queen Mother has come here to help you. ”

She clasped Xiao Nuan's hand, her eyes were warm and sincere: "Good boy, you tell the queen mother the truth, what is going on with this matter? After five or six years of getting along, the queen mother can see that you are a kind and gentle child, and you are definitely not the kind of person Amin said, and the queen mother also believes in Ah Lie's vision." Although he is sometimes a little playful, and likes those boundless nihilistic fantasies, he is not so confused that he does not distinguish between right and wrong. You tell the queen mother, okay?"

Facing Queen Tida's almost pleading look, Xiao Nuan bit her lip.

The entire palace was in danger, and she couldn't figure out when Hong Min was, and she unconsciously had so much evidence.

She didn't know who to trust now, and who else to trust!

But over the years, Queen Tita has indeed treated her and Yuntian well, and the queen has always been tolerant and benevolent, and she is a very reasonable person.

After hesitating for a while, Xiao Nuan finally made up her mind: "Queen Mother, I ......"

Before she could say anything, the door of the dormitory was rudely pushed open, and Hua Rong rushed in with a maid.

Seeing Queen Tida, Hua Rong was visibly stunned.

Queen Dida was engrossed in waiting for Xiao Nuan's words, but was suddenly interrupted, and her expression was also stunned: "Rong Rong, why did you come here?"

"Of course I'm looking for you!" Hua Rong reacted, hurried over, pulled the queen into the inner hall behind the screen, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the palace people said that you came here, so I rushed over immediately." ”

Queen Tita frowned slightly: "What are you looking for me?"

Hua Rong glanced at the screen vigilantly, and suppressed her voice again: "I heard about her and want to ask you about it." I've been here once before, but she won't admit anything. But the eldest brother said it conclusively, and he came up with so much evidence, which confused me. Queen Mother, why don't we take advantage of the fact that the third brother hasn't come back and quietly deal with her!"

Hua Rong made a "kill" gesture, Queen Tita was stunned, and said in a low voice in disbelief: "Rong Rong, why are you ...... Didn't you have a good relationship with her before?"

Hua Rong puffed out her cheeks and said angrily: "It's because I'm good that I feel unbearable! I'm so sincere and good to her, how can she deceive me? Queen Mother, you know, I really regard Yuntian as my own nephew." She completely disregarded the royal family, and even less regarded our feelings, I am really angry!"

She has always been straightforward, and there is no room for sand in her eyes, which is what her character can say.

But Queen Tida still felt unbearable: "Really don't look at it anymore?

Hua Rong said with annoyance: "I really can't stand it." You don't even know how long I've been talking to my big brother. The eldest brother may have exaggerated, but the evidence is true. And ......"

She hesitated, gritted her teeth, and said, "And the eldest brother talked to the third brother on the phone." The eldest brother deliberately recorded the audio, and the third brother almost admitted that Yuntian was not our royal bloodline. But the third brother's feelings for her are too deep, and he clamored not to let the eldest brother touch her at all. So the best thing to do now is for us to take advantage of the fact that the third brother has not come back and quietly dispose of her in advance. ”

Queen Dida looked at Hua Rong in shock: "Did you really hear the recording?"

Hua Rong nodded, and said angrily: "Yes, otherwise I can be so angry!

Queen Tida noticed Hua Rong's words, and her eyes darkened.

This child, love and hate are so clear that even the title of "Nuan Nuan" is saved, and it is all "her"!

Queen Thida sighed, "I'll consider your words, let me think about it again." ”

"Don't just think about it, you have to go back and discuss with your father quickly! The third brother has now received the news, if he leaves Yuntian alone and rushes back immediately, won't it be ugly at that time?"

Hua Rong frowned, with a rare seriousness in her expression: "Queen Mother, you know that these things must not be publicized." ”

These words, like a thunderclap, shattered Queen Tida's pity for Xiao Nuan.

"You have a point, and I will go to your father and the king now. ”

After Queen Dida finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the screen, she didn't look at Xiao Nuan again, and went straight to the door.

Hua Rong watched her go out, and left with the maids in a majestic manner, before closing the door, pulling over the maid who brought her and saying to Xiao Nuan: "Quick, Nuan Nuan, you have changed your clothes." ”

When they were talking secretly behind the screen just now, Xiao Nuan found that this maid was somewhat similar to her in terms of height and body shape, and even her eyebrows and eyes were a little similar when she lowered her head.

Hua Rong's solution is to exchange the tanuki for the prince.

Xiao Nuan knew that it was one thing, but when the real thing came, she still couldn't help but worry: "In this way, won't it really affect you?"

"No, you can rest assured!" Hua Rong said as she directly pushed her behind the screen: "I am the princess of the dignified Qingbai Kingdom, even if my father and queen mother are angry again, at most they will only punish me with a small punishment." Besides, do you think they dare to make a big deal about this kind of thing?"

"This is the truth, but ......"

"Don't do it anymore. The more minute you delay, the more dangerous it will be, and not only will you not be able to leave, but everyone will follow suit. What's more, I've got in touch with the third brother. When the time comes, as soon as you meet, the family of three will go wherever they like, and your father and queen will not be able to help you. ”

Hua Rong's words came as soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Nuan saw that time was tight, and she didn't have time to ask in detail, so she could only compromise: "Okay! Then let's get out of here first." ”

After changing her clothes, Xiao Nuan bowed deeply to the maid: "Thank you!"

The maid hurriedly helped Xiao Nuan up and winked mischievously: "Madame doesn't have to thank me, I'm just a little maid who was coerced by the princess, and I don't really want to." ”

Xiao Nuan was stunned, and understood in an instant.

This is also one of Hua Rong's plans, to take all the blame of everyone involved in the matter on her, the princess, alone.

"Hua Rong, I have written down your kindness. In the future, I will definitely repay you!"

Hua Rong helped her straighten her clothes and hair, and then chuckled and said, "You and Yuntian are alive and well, which is the best reward for me." ”

When the words fell, she turned around in a dashing manner, pretending to be angry and shouted: "If you don't say it, don't say it, I'll see how high you can be." Qionghua, let's go! It's an eyesore when you see this person!"

Qionghua.

Xiao Nuan read silently, lowered his head and kept the name in his heart.

The guards saw Hua Rong angrily taking the maid out, lest the anger burn on them, they all lowered their heads and held their breath, eager to disappear in place, where did they dare to interrogate.

Soon, Xiao Nuan smoothly followed Hua Rong out of the dormitory.

Outside the palace gate, a low-key black car was already waiting there.

Just waiting for Hua Rong and Xiao Nuan to get into the car, the driver immediately started the car and drove towards the outside of the palace.

Seeing that the car was completely out of the palace, the anger on Hua Rong's face completely dissipated, and was replaced by excitement.

"It's exciting, it's exciting, it's so exciting. I'm a genius!" she proudly asked Xiao Nuan for credit: "You just say I'm amazing, don't you?"

Xiao Nuan smiled lightly and gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!

She didn't expect that Hua Rong, who seemed to be nervous and heartless, would plan things so smoothly and carefully in such a short period of time.

"Hehe!" Hua Rong immediately leaned her head on Xiao Nuan's shoulder affectionately like a child begging for candy: "Where are you going next?" Do you want to go back to China to find the third brother, or to find that Ambassador Huo?"

"I want to go back to country Z directly, no matter what, I have to get Yuntian back first. ”

That's the third brother?

Hua Rong was deeply pleased, and smiled and teased, "Then aren't you worried about that Ambassador Huo at all?"

Xiao Nuan calmly analyzed: "There shouldn't be anything on his side for the time being." The person who took him away would definitely be courteous if he had something to ask him for help. If things don't work out, they may be in danger. ”

Hey, it turns out that I don't care about the third brother!

Hua Rong poked and sneered secretly, although she was a little disappointed, but she still supported: "Okay, I have arranged a private jet, and I will send you a direct flight to country Z later." ”
