Shu Nuan had no choice but to pick up the little guy, and while wiping the little guy's tears, he coaxed her and said, "Daddy doesn't want to be childish. Daddy is going to fight."
Qingzhi flattened her mouth, but Xiao Naiyin felt aggrieved: "I don't want daddy to go to war."
"That won't work. If dad doesn't go to war, bad people will bully Qingzhi. Is Qingzhi afraid of bad people?"
Qingzhi blinked away tears and nodded.
Shu Nuan lowered his head and kissed the little guy, "Then tell daddy that Qingzhi will wait for daddy to come home, okay?"
Sheng Qianmo stood aside and watched. Hearing the conversation between mother and daughter, she felt an indescribable peace in her heart.
It's because Shu Nuan in front of him needs his coaxing just like Qing Zhi before she is willing to listen to him. But once Qing Zhi gets scared, she is very considerate and explains to the little guy in front of him that his Shu Nuan, There will also be such a gentle side.
After Qingzhi heard Shu Nuan's words, the little guy shuddered and turned to look at Sheng Qianmo. He obediently followed what Shu Nuan had just taught him, said a few words and took a breath, and it was very laborious. After finishing the sentence, he blinked his watery eyes and tears rolled down again.
Seeing the little guy like this, Sheng Qianmo felt funny and distressed at the same time. He couldn't help but stepped forward and leaned down in front of the bed. He grabbed Qingzhi's hand and kissed it. His voice was gentle: "Daddy will come home as soon as possible. Qingzhi, does she believe her father?"
Qingzhi nodded, then shed tears again.
Immediately afterwards, Sheng Qianmo didn't care that Qingzhi was still watching under his nose. He couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Shu Nuan. His warm and hoarse voice whispered in her ear, "Let's go, baby." .”
Shu Nuan nodded slightly, his face still calm.
His breath lingered on her lips, his remaining warmth lingered.
It wasn't until the door was closed that Shu Nuan's mind wandered, and his heart seemed to feel empty all of a sudden.
But she still has to pretend that nothing happened, comfort the little guy in her arms, and protect her and his home.
Then she could miss him.
…
royal palace.
After Shengzhi came down from the court, he went directly to Ziling Palace.
Today was the day that Fourth Brother and Ning Chengyuan were going to go on an expedition. He thought it was necessary to tell Ji Xili that it was up to her to decide whether to go and see him off.
However, after arriving at Ziling Palace, they heard from people in the palace that the queen had left the palace early in the morning and returned to Ji's house. She also specifically asked the people in the palace to wait until the emperor arrived before reporting to the emperor.
After hearing this, Sheng Zhiyu frowned slightly, feeling quite uncomfortable after all.
But he still decided to wait until Ji Xili came back before talking to her about the matter.
The order to go out was rushed, and many people had not had time to prepare.
Among them, the one who also knew nothing was the Second Young Master Ji who was recovering from his injuries in the Ji family.
At that time, Second Young Master Ji was still lying on the hospital bed, half-conscious, and vaguely heard his father talking to Ji Xili.
"Why didn't you tell me about Xu Bai's injury? If I hadn't been careful and sent someone to ask about the current situation of the Ji family, I might not have known that Xu Bai was stabbed until now..." Ji Xili thought more and more. It is unbelievable that at the feet of an emperor like Beicheng, there are still people who dare to assassinate the Imperial Tutor of the Hanlin Academy...
Lord Ji sighed at the side: "Don't be angry. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would worry. Besides, the doctor said that as long as Xu Bai takes a good rest for a few months, he will slowly recover."
