Chapter 244 Uncle and nephew meet
Chapter 244 Uncle and nephew meet
Qingzhou.
At this time, Chengnan Prefecture has been in chaos these days.
Because Master Fubao is missing.
Wang Yu'er was furious and summoned all the people in the government office to interrogate them one by one.
Zhang Yuankai, Chu Ren, Li Wanhua and others led their troops to search everywhere in the city, searching house by house.
But there was no clue at all, and Fubao just disappeared out of thin air.
Everyone was so anxious that they couldn't eat or sleep, and their mouths were covered with blisters. Wang Yu'er especially felt that it was her own negligence and blamed herself even more.
The people in the city were equally anxious. To them, Fubao was not only Master Yue's son, but more importantly, Master Fubao was sensible and cute. They had already regarded him as their own descendant.
If Master Yue came back and found his son missing, how sad would he be? So everyone mobilized their connections, and friends and relatives joined in the search.
Just when everyone was busy, an uncle who was setting up a stall not far from the government office suddenly remembered that on the day Fubao was lost, he saw a suspicious man in black appear at his stall. He did not buy anything but just stared at the government office. When he was about to ask, the man in black left.
This news was like a bombshell. Li Wanhua immediately ordered to follow this clue. Si Yin also sorted out all the information and finally found that a carriage that left the city was the most suspicious.
Just when Li Wanhua was preparing to chase him, someone sent a letter from Donglin. Li Wanhua couldn't wait to open it, and there were many numbers written inside.
"This is a letter sent by Yue'er." Because the method of using Arabic numerals to convey information was taught by Yunyue.
Li Wanhua took out the book and compared them one by one.
"Yue'er said that Fubao must have been captured by Xiao Yinchen's men. She said... Anyway, Fubao is safe now. She and His Highness are already rushing to the capital. She told us not to worry too much, and she will bring Fubao back safely. However, we need to be prepared in advance, because there may be... a war."
Everyone was shocked when they heard about the war. But they were relieved when they thought Fubao was safe for the time being. Li Wanhua calmed down and began to arrange the defense of the mansion. At the same time, she sent someone to send a letter to Yun Changshan to inform him of the situation.
War? They were no longer afraid. The dog emperor had been doing these dirty tricks time and time again, and they had long since been unable to tolerate it.
-
In the imperial study in the capital.
A child of about five years old panted and looked at Xiao Yinchen with admiration, and handed over the big characters he had written. This person was Xiao Ping, the child of Xiao Yinchen and Queen Liu.
Xiao Ping came here immediately after class at the Palace Academy.
Today, the Grand Tutor praised his calligraphy for having the style of his father, so he couldn't wait to show it to his father.
Xiao Yinchen took the paper handed to him by Xiao Ping. The writing was indeed very good, and there was a moment of trance in his eyes.
But it was fleeting, especially as he looked at Xiao Ping's increasingly unfamiliar face, the look in his eyes was gradually replaced by coldness and disgust.
"Well, go ahead." Xiao Yinchen put the paper aside and turned around to continue reviewing the memorials.
"Father..." Xiao Ping called out a little aggrievedly. He was the only prince in the palace and the only child of the emperor. But why was the emperor so indifferent to him?
Xiao Yinchen glanced at him coldly and did not respond. Instead, he waved his hand impatiently.
Every time she saw him, she was reminded of the fact that she had been betrayed. She wanted to kill Xiao Ping, the Queen, and everyone in the Liu family countless times.
However, although he was the emperor and possessed supreme power, he was also restricted by many things.
Xiao Ping looked at the paper thrown aside, feeling aggrieved. He bit his lip and thought to himself: Why does my father always treat me like this? Did I do something wrong? But no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't find the reason.
Xiao Ping had no choice but to leave in grievance and went to Queen Liu's palace.
"My son is here, come quickly, your mother has asked someone to cook your favorite soup." When Queen Liu saw Xiao Ping coming, she stood up with a loving face.
Xiao Ping couldn't hold back any longer and threw himself into Empress Liu's arms, crying, "Mother, why doesn't my father like me..."
Empress Liu was startled and quickly comforted him, "Nonsense, how could your father dislike you? You are his only prince. Your father must be too busy..."
Xiao Ping was not comforted and was still very sad: "But father has never hugged me since I was a child. My cousin said that my uncle would play with him every day and hug him... father and he..." Xiao Ping didn't know how to express it. He felt that father hated him. Because he could feel it. He didn't praise himself or scold himself. No matter what he did, it seemed to have nothing to do with father. He was like... like a stranger.
Queen Liu felt so distressed when she saw her son's sad expression that a cold light flashed in her eyes.
This child was born after ten months of pregnancy, and although the father of the child is someone else, in her opinion, none of this is important.
As long as it's your own flesh and blood, it's enough.
What's more, as she raised him little by little, he became more and more outstanding, and Queen Liu felt that her original actions were extremely correct.
Xiao Yinchen, since you are not good to my son, I don't mind letting you pass on the throne earlier...
"My son, your father is a man who is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Do you think he is like this to your mother, your grandfather, and those ministers? It's not that he doesn't like you, he just has that kind of personality. Don't be sad. Let's eat and drink soup first. Later, your mother will have someone make your father's favorite drink. You can give it to him and he will be very happy."
Xiao Ping felt better when he thought about how his father never smiled no matter who he was with. He thought his mother was right.
Then he left Queen Liu's arms embarrassedly: "I know...I am disrespectful."
"What are you talking about? I'm your mother. You don't have to act so politely in front of her."
Queen Liu took him to the dining table, and the mother and son had their meal in a warm atmosphere.
After the meal, Empress Liu put the soup for Xiao Yinchen in the food box and said, "Go, take it to your father and tell him that he worked hard reviewing the memorials."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Xiao Ping smiled and left with the eunuch.
Looking at Xiao Ping's thin back, Empress Liu said coldly: "Rushuang, go tell my father that... we can't wait any longer."
……
At this time, Fubao, who was brought into the main hall, was looking at the magnificent palace curiously with his big round eyes. He touched this and that from time to time, without any sign of fear at all.
Instead, the palace maids and eunuchs around were all trembling with fear, fearing that this little kid would anger the emperor and bring implicate themselves.
Xiao Yinchen came out of the inner room and saw this scene. He sat majestically on the dragon chair and said sternly: "There are no rules!"
"Hehe, this is Fubao's first time in the palace, so I'm curious!" Fubao looked at Xiao Yinchen on the throne with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity.
Xiao Yinchen was dazed for a moment when he looked at Fubao's smile, as if he saw his childhood...
He asked, "Why aren't you afraid of me?"
Fubao replied in a baby voice: "You are my second uncle, there is nothing to be afraid of. We are a family!"
Xiao Yinchen was stunned: "Do you remember me?" Then he shook his head. The last time he met him was six years ago, when Fubao was still a baby. No matter how smart he was, it was impossible for him to remember anything.
Fubao ran to Xiao Yinchen with his short legs and looked up and said, "My father told me that I have an uncle who is the emperor. They said they would take me to see the emperor, so it must be my uncle!"
"Oh, what bad things did he say about me?" Xiao Yinchen sneered. He didn't believe that his elder brother could say anything good.
Fubao shook his head: "Daddy didn't say anything bad about my second uncle. Daddy said that adults' affairs are none of children's business. My second uncle is just my second uncle~"
Xiao Yinchen was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Did your father really say that?"
Fubao nodded heavily and lied: "Yes!! It's true!!"
It's fake. My parents said that my second uncle is a brainless villain. They told me to stay away from him.
After hearing what Fubao said, Xiao Yinchen showed a complicated expression on his face, as if he was touched by the innocent words of a child, but he quickly restrained his emotions and snorted coldly, "You are smart at such a young age."
"Hehehe, my second uncle praised me."
Fubao scratched his head and started to climb onto Xiao Yinchen's legs.
"What are you doing!" Xiao Yinchen said in an unhappy tone.
"Hug him! This is the first time Fubao meets his second uncle, so of course he has to hug him." Fubao said as if it was a matter of course.
Xiao Yinchen's hands, which were about to throw him down, stopped in mid-air.
