Mo Chuan's eyes were fixed on Xiaosi's face again.
For a long time, he remained silent.
Xiaosi waited with his neck curled up for a long time. When Mo Chuan didn't speak, he couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, you can kill me if you want. I have no complaints. I have no worries and no relatives in this world." , unlike Zhui Feng, he can still protect the emperor and take care of Xiao Ru while he is alive. The Queen is most worried about Xiao Ru... "
Mo Chuan's heart suddenly moved.
Yes, Xiaoru!
This is the person closest to Ning'er. If there is still a glimmer of hope for her, it lies in Xiao Ru.
Xiao Ru has been living in Shen Guogong's mansion and taking care of the little baby.
Shen Ning once told her that no matter what happened outside, not even a word of it could reach Duke Shen's mansion.
Therefore, although earth-shattering events happened one after another in the capital, Duke Shen's mansion was as peaceful as usual.
Xiaoru was sitting in the yard, pushing the cradle.
The sun was beautiful, shining warmly on the baby's cradle, making it sway.
The baby slept soundly and sweetly, with a flushed face. Xiao Ru's eyelids started to tremble as she looked at it.
Suddenly, a dark shadow fell in front of her, blocking the sunlight above her head.
Xiao Ru was suddenly startled, and when she opened her eyes, she was even more shocked.
"Your Majesty! Why are you here? Where is my eldest lady? My eldest lady..."
She jumped up from the stool and hurriedly looked behind Mo Chuan, but did not see Shen Ning's figure.
In her eagerness, she even forgot to salute.
However, Mo Chuan had no intention of paying attention to such details now. He said in a deep voice, "Where is Ning'er?"
"Miss? She hasn't come back. Didn't she go to the palace? Your Majesty, is she not with you?" Xiao Ru asked repeatedly.
Mo Chuan gritted his teeth.
He couldn't say.
Shen Ning protected Xiaoru too well, so she didn't know anything. If he told this girl the truth, she would never stay here quietly like this.
If she had another accident, how could he have the nerve to see her!
"She... said she was bored in the palace, so she sneaked out. I thought she came back to see you." Mo Chuan lied without changing his expression.
Xiao Ru believed it all of a sudden.
She immediately patted her chest and let out a breath.
Just now she was so frightened that her face turned pale, thinking that something had happened to the eldest lady.
In the past few days, she had nightmares almost every night, dreaming that the eldest lady no longer wanted her. When she woke up, even her pillow towel was wet with tears.
"Your Majesty, can I please go into the palace and see the eldest lady? I haven't seen her for several days and I really miss her." Xiaoru said timidly.
She didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Mo Chuan, but she still had the courage to request.
Mo Chuan said calmly: "What did she say to you when she left?"
"The eldest lady asked the slave to take good care of this little baby, and said not to worry about anything else. She said that even if the sky fell, she would support the slave. But the slave really wanted to see her. The slave always dreamed that the eldest lady didn't want her. I..." Xiao Ru said, her eyes turning red.
Mo Chuan's heart felt severe pain again.
Ning'er, Ning'er, did you have a premonition a few days ago that you were going to leave me
"You must do what you promise her. She doesn't like people who break their promises. Xiaoru, do you want to make her unhappy?" Mo Chuan said expressionlessly.
Xiao Ru shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, no, I will never do anything to make the eldest lady unhappy."
"Then take good care of him."
Mo Chuan glanced at the little baby again, feeling as if he had been stabbed by a knife.
