It has been nearly a year since Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince disappeared.
But the days when Xiao Ting and Xiao Xin were separated were even longer.
Back then, the Ninth Prince tortured and killed so many people for Xiao Ting, which caused resentment in the court. The emperor negotiated with the Ninth Prince to let the Ninth Prince leave the imperial city and go to the fief.
Not long after they left the imperial city after moving their house, they were attacked and killed, and went to the fief in three ways. Since then, Xiao Xin and Xiao Ting have never seen each other again.
Not to mention Xiao Xin, Xiao Ting also misses this little girl a little bit.
"My sister misses you too." Xiao Ting greeted him cheerfully, and then looked him up and down.
"It's said that children grow up fast, and it's only been a while since I've seen them grow so tall."
Xiao Xin pouted and was very unhappy, although she tried her best to hide her feelings, but her eyes were still reddened.
"Xiao Shi and sister haven't seen each other for almost two years." Didn't it take long? His sister is really heartless.
Xiao Ting was surprised, has it been so long? Didn't two years go by very slowly? Why did she feel like she just went out for a stroll.
But seeing Xiao Shihong's rabbit-like eyes, she didn't dare to make him cry anymore.
Xiao Ting immediately raised her hand.
"It's all my sister's fault. I shouldn't be away for so long. Stop crying, we are grown children."
"Princess..."
Oh my god, Xiao Ting was shocked when she heard this voice.
Just coaxed a little crying baby here, and another big crying baby came over there.
Green Weed and Red Spoon has arrived.
The two of them have been following Xiao Xin and Chu Yun, waiting for Xiao Xin to send them out for something to do, and only now return to the residence.
When Xiao Ting saw that Hong Shao was about to cry, with a clear face, she immediately waved her hands and backed away.
"I told you, don't cry. If you cry again, this concubine will be worried to death. How can I marry you in the future?"
Lu Hua hurriedly grabbed the red spoon, although there were tears in her eyes, she was amused by her master's actions.
"Why don't the slaves know that the princess is also afraid sometimes?"
Although Hong Shao was still crying, fortunately she didn't rush over, Xiao Ting let out a long sigh of relief, hid behind Xiao Xin and patted her chest.
"You're right, my concubine is not afraid of anything, but she's afraid of the little red spoon girl crying, oh, yes, and my little girl."
"Sister..." Even if Xiao Xin didn't change his expression, even though he was eight years old, he still felt embarrassed and blushed when he was called a little boy by his sister.
"Princess, leave this to the subordinates, you and the young master go to the inner hall to talk."
Li Mo stood aside and watched them playing tricks, feeling very speechless, the house is in such a mess, and the princess is still in the mood to tease the maid.
There is also the little son, he is only like a child when the princess is around.
Xiao Ting's arrival brought laughter and peace to the chaotic City Lord's Mansion.
"By the way, sister, why didn't brother-in-law come back with you?"
Xiao Ting was not happy to mention this matter, and slapped the table loudly.
"Don't mention that heartless one. This girl cured his injury with good intentions, but he turned his back on him and kicked this girl away."
Xiao Ting always spoke like this, few people could understand her.
Finally, under Xiao Xin's patient guidance and inquiry, the truth of the matter was revealed.
I heard that after Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince were trapped in Yandi, after Yanwang fled, he never sent anyone to chase them down.
But the Ninth Prince was unconscious and seriously injured, Xiao Ting hesitated for half a month.
I didn't wait until the Ninth Prince woke up.
In the end, I could only be patient, and I only made a small cart, dressed up in disguise, and spent several months going around before I got out of Yandi.
But what she didn't expect was that just after reaching the border of the empire, the Ninth Prince woke up.
This was originally a good thing, but Xiao Ting was dumbfounded when she saw the eyes of the Ninth Prince.
The one who was meowing was not the person she was familiar with at all, but the evil Ninth Prince whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
The dialogue in it is naturally difficult to describe, Xiao Ting and the Ninth Prince directly changed their situations, one became a mouse and the other became a mouse, Xiao Ting was that well-behaved and helpless mouse, and it was still delivered to the door.
Taking this opportunity, Xiao Ting integrated the source of extreme yin into the body of the Ninth Prince, hoping to help him.
Of course, she didn't elaborate on the process.
But the result was not satisfactory.
Three days later, the Ninth Prince woke up, and Xiao Ting asked him how he felt, but he kicked her and flew her away, then waved her sleeves without taking away a cloud, and directly, hehe... disappeared.
Miss Xiao Liu tried her best to suck her milk, but in the end she didn't even see a piece of her clothes.
Silently stood there for a long time, then jumped into a rage.
But no matter how she cursed the Ninth Prince in a fit of rage, he never appeared again.
In the end Miss Xiao Liu had no choice but to embark on the road of returning to Licheng, and of course the hardships involved are self-evident.
"So, princess, you came back from begging all the way?"
The crowd simply didn't know what to say, the Ninth Princess of the mighty empire returned to her fief by begging for food.
"Yes."
She didn't have any valuables in her body, and she had already pawned everything she could, and lost everything she could lose.
The most important thing is that the empire is not full of dense forests like Yandi, and you can catch a rabbit to satisfy your hunger. There are towns everywhere. She can only go to the village to make a living, and then rush to the city to ask for directions. Few people in the country know the way.
Li Mo was very sad to hear that.
"It's all the subordinate's fault. You have suffered so much because you didn't tell the concubine the codes for contacting each place in advance."
Nani
Xiao Ting stared round her eyes.
"You mean, there are people from the palace in many cities?"
She heard it right, how does this feel like opening a branch.
"Yes, it's all the subordinate's fault." Li Mo bit the bullet and confessed.
"Bastard, you're not human." Xiao Ting cursed angrily, and a series of words popped out as if she didn't want money.
Everyone present was red-faced, this princess had never been so angry before, and she never cared about the people below, why did she speak so harshly today
Could it be that he was wronged outside
Li Mo, the object of scolding, had already knelt on one knee, unable to say anything.
After Xiao Ting cursed, her mood gradually calmed down.
"Sister, Li Youwei didn't do it on purpose, so just let him go."
Originally, Xiao Xin felt that Li Mo's behavior was unethical, but now that his sister scolded him for nothing, he felt embarrassed.
"What? What's the matter with Li Mo?"
Xiao Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then when she saw Li Mo kneeling there, she immediately asked, "Hey, hey, how long has it been since I saw your kneeling problem, is it getting better again?"
Everyone "..."
"Wangfei is right, it's all the subordinate's fault, and the subordinate is willing to be punished."
"I'm not scolding you, it's none of your business."
Only now did Xiao Ting realize that they had misunderstood.
"Then sister, since you don't blame Li Youwei, who were you scolding just now?"
"Of course it's Chu Li, he will avenge this girl, he will wait for me, hehe..."
Li Mo didn't know what to say.
Without getting the whereabouts of the Ninth Prince, everyone no longer struggled, after all, they were just subordinates.
Three days passed in a flash, and the City Lord's Mansion had basically returned to normal, but there was still no news from Chu Yun.
Except for Xiao Ting, everyone was very worried.
But Li Mo couldn't find the whereabouts of Cheng Yunyi and Chu Yun, let alone them.
Overall, the atmosphere in the mansion is quite mild.
This day Xiao Xin found Xiao Ting and talked about Chu Yun's identity.
The two of them were chatting unintentionally, but suddenly they talked about Chu Yun's disguise as a man.
In addition, Cheng Yunyi asked Chu Yun to go with him by name, if it was just to threaten the Ninth Prince, then there is no need to hide his whereabouts.
A few days passed, and the two of them seemed to have disappeared from the world, and they couldn't even be found.
"Look for Li Mo, he must know something."
Xiao Ting agreed with Xiao Xin's opinion.
While asking people to come to Li Mo for questioning, he muttered, "This kid has been restless these days, he must be hiding something from us."
When Li Mo came in, his face was full of preoccupations, but when he saw Xiao Ting's scrutinizing eyes, and Xiao Xin's calm but unquestionable expression, his heart beat.
"Princess, young master."
Xiao Ting motioned him to sit down, then stretched comfortably, and said seemingly unintentionally.
"Have you found Chu Yun?"
"The subordinates are useless, and the prince has not been found yet."
"Xiaoyun is a little girl, how many years can she be the heir?"
Li Mo had no choice but to answer Xiao Ting's words. This was not something he could manage.
"Why did Cheng Yunyi take Xiaoyun away? What identity does she have?"
Although Li Mo had already told them everything about what happened on the viewing platform, Xiao Xin was not there after all.
Li Mo's heart skipped a beat.
Xiao Ting frowned slightly.
"Is there a problem with Xiaoyun's identity?"
"Li Youwei, brother-in-law is not here now, and most of the affairs in the house are taken care of by you, but Xiaoyun's disappearance cannot be taken care of by you alone. You'd better tell us everything, so that we can all figure out a solution together."
Xiao Xin has already confirmed that there is something wrong with Chu Yun's identity, and he is trying to force Li Mo.
"This matter, the subordinates dare not talk nonsense, you should ask the prince."
But in the end, Li Mo didn't say why.
Although Li Mo didn't say anything, Xiao Ting and Xiao Xin looked at each other and understood that there must be something wrong.
"If I can find Chu Li, do I still ask you?"
Xiao Ting was a little annoyed, but no matter how intimidating she was, Li Mo refused to say a word.
Xiao Ting didn't plan to ask anyone else, except for Li Mo and Yuchi's heartbreak, she can guarantee that the Ninth Prince will not let anyone know about it.
"Okay, if you don't want to say it, then use your own ability to find Xiaoyun. If you can't find it, wait for your master to come back and explain to him yourself."
Xiao Ting is not worried about life.
What's more, with such a big matter involved, she was even more helpless.
Another half month passed by, and there was still no news from Chu Yun, but shocking news came from the imperial city.
"The imperial city of the empire was bloodbathed by a force, and many people died overnight."
