In the early hours of the morning, before dawn, Xiao Mingxin opened his eyes.

He stretched out his fleshy little hand and rubbed his eye sockets, yawned, got dressed himself, climbed out of bed, and went to bring a basin of hot water to wash himself and Xinping.

Careful Ping was disturbed from sleeping, and immediately pouted, about to cry.

"W-wh

"Ouch!"

Mingxin was so frightened that she covered her mouth and said, "Don't cry, what should you do if you cry and attract bad people?" ”

But this time, his scare didn't seem to work.

Xinping was so aggrieved that tears fell big and big, although he covered his mouth, he also whimpered and cried: "Woo, mother......"

“……”

"Mother!"

Mingxin was a little surprised: "Oh, so you can speak?" ”

"Father...... Mother......"

Hearing him say this, Xinping cried even more vigorously.

Actually, it's no wonder that Mingxin thought she couldn't speak, but a child who was more than a year old originally learned to speak by imitating the words of adults, but since she came out with Ran Xiaoyu, Ran Xiaoyu is a person who doesn't talk much, and Mingxin has been taking her these days, Mingxin is afraid of attracting the attention of others, so she is quiet and don't cry.

If you can't learn words, you will naturally have fewer words.

But at this time, she seemed to have been wronged, crying for her father and mother, and the tears stained Mingxin's palms after a while.

Mingxin could only hold her in his arms and coax her softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry." ”

“……”

"Then, we don't live here anymore, let's go out to find your mother today, okay? I'll help you get your mother back! ”

"Woo ......"

In the end, Xinping was different from half of the pampered children and the princess of the golden branches, but he was very coaxed, and after crying for a while, he stopped sobbing.

Mingxin helped her wipe her face, and then said, "I'll go and ask the shopkeeper for something to eat later, and when I'm full, we'll leave, ha." ”

"Woo, mother......"

Just when Xinping was crying and calling his mother, in another dark alley, Nanyan was running fast.

Her heart was beating hard.

The ankle had just sprained a little, but fortunately she couldn't speak, not even exhale pain, gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain, and didn't even take a break, so she ran away in the night.

Now, she needs to follow the path in her memory and return to King Ning's Mansion.

No matter what other people do, she wants her own daughter, safe and sound.

and Ran Xiaoyu......

She must be for herself, in order to fight for herself, so she will escape from the palace with Xinping, and at this time, she can't leave her alone.

Be sure to get them out.

Definitely!

She almost gritted her teeth and kept repeating this sentence in her heart, but no matter how firm her heart was, the pain on her body could not be ignored no matter how firm her heart was, and the pain in her ankle became more aggravated as she ran forward step by step.

Pain!

It hurts so much.

Her figure also stumbled, and even when she walked to the corner of the street, her ankles were sore, and she suddenly lost her balance and fell forward.

"Ah——!h

She let out a low exclamation.

And at this moment, a tall figure suddenly jumped out in front of him, stretched out his hand, and hugged her into his arms.

That familiar feeling made Nanyan's heart move.

Raise your head and look at the bright eyes in the dim light.

"It doesn't hurt ......?"

|

And at this moment, Zhu Feng sat at the table, looking at the attendant standing in front of him, and frowned slightly.

Why, it seems that you heard the cry of a child?

Is it a delusion?

Or - dreams?

Last night, he had a whole night of chaotic dreams, and in the dream, for a while, the slender back of the woman, as if she was about to leave him, hurt his liver and intestines; After a while, a child's crisp laughter sounded, and the joy seemed to relieve his burning mood.

The illusory images kept lingering in front of his eyes and ears, so that he could not be quiet for a moment.

At this moment, although he was still sitting peacefully at the table, he was actually haggard.

But his face was so calm that there was no expression at all.

He only raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Has the news come back?" ”

The attendant standing in front of him immediately whispered: "Back to the emperor, King Ning is the hand of the day before yesterday. ”

"How did he find Ran Xiaoyu?"

"According to the subordinates who explored the city, it seems that a few days ago, Ran Xiaoyu had already appeared in Changqing City with Her Royal Highness the Princess, but then she was chased by the people of Ning Wangfu, and after that, she disappeared."

"Then the day before yesterday, where did King Ning find her?"

"It is said to be a Buddhist temple on the outskirts of the city, called Dabao Temple."

"Buddhist temple?"

"Yes."

"What about the people in the temple?"

"I heard that most of them have been arrested."

"Basic, that means there are still fish that have slipped through the net?"

"The subordinates heard that King Ning also sent people to search near the Buddhist temple for a while before leaving Dabao Temple, and it should have been a fish that slipped through the net, but it is said that in the end the search was fruitless, so he returned to King Ning's mansion."

“……”

Zhu Feng's breathing became heavy.

At this time, Qin Ruolan walked in with her two maidservants and gently saluted Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Feng was thinking about things at the moment, and he didn't say much, just waved his hand at her lightly.

And Qin Ruolan saw that there were obviously more attendants around her than those transferred two days ago, and she immediately guessed that Zhu Feng was going to send troops.

"Your Majesty, is the emperor really going to King Ning's Mansion today?"

Zhu Feng glanced at her.

"You don't want me to go?"

I don't know why, Qin Ruolan's heart trembled when she saw it, as if in an instant, even her soul was seen through.

She could only bow her head and say softly: "The concubine is just worried about the emperor." ”

“……”

For some reason, he was obviously concerned about himself, but Zhu Feng felt that her words made people feel boring.

Then he said lightly: "I have my own opinions. ”

After speaking, he got up and walked out, Qin Ruolan was a little anxious, and hurriedly followed: "Where is the emperor going?" ”

Zhu Feng didn't speak, went out and did arrive at the door of Si Nanyan's room.

Seeing this, Lian'er, who was standing behind Qin Ruolan, suddenly showed a smug expression on her face, and hurriedly lowered her head to prevent people from noticing.

Zhu Feng had already said to the guards at the two gates: "How is she?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor, the room has been quiet."

"It's been quiet?"

Hearing these words that should have been reassuring, Zhu Feng suddenly felt something unusual? He frowned, reaching for the door and pushing it open.

Then I heard a bang, and the door slammed into both sides.

The cold air poured into the room, and the room was empty, except for the open window on the other side, which was slightly blown by the wind.

When the two guards saw this, their eyes widened in fright: "This-"

Zhu Feng's face suddenly turned blue.

"What's going on?!"
