Perhaps it was because the Tianling Fruit was so delicious that Nalandel was not afraid at first. A smile appeared on her little face and she said sweetly, "It's so sweet."
"Diel, why are you still out at such a late hour?"
Nalandel blinked her big eyes and lowered her head in frustration: "Brother... was in a bad mood. Dai'er went to buy osmanthus cakes for her brother to eat, but Dai'er couldn't find it."
On South Street, there is a family that is really famous for its sweet-scented osmanthus cake. My cousin must have been unhappy because of the breakup of the engagement, so Dai'er secretly left the house to buy his favorite cake.
Feng Ruqing sighed softly.
Thinking of her cousin's expression when she saw her today, he looked really bad. Unfortunately, she didn't know about breaking off the engagement at that time.
"Let's go, Dai'er, I'll take you to buy it."
Feng Ruqing stood up, she held Nalandel's little hand and smiled slightly.
…
The night is getting darker.
The general's mansion was in a mess. Even the old general who was feeling unwell climbed out of bed and led everyone in General Nalan's mansion to look for Nalandel.
The lanterns are on.
At the door of the General's Mansion, Mrs. Nalan kept looking out. Her hands anxiously squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of anxiety.
"The general and dad have been out for so long, why haven't they come back yet? I don't know if they have found Dai'er."
Dai'er could not crawl until she was one year old, could not speak until she was two years old, and could walk on her own only when she was three years old. In addition, she was frail and sickly, so she had been hurting Dai'er a lot since she was a child.
If Dai'er really disappears... then she... how should she spend the rest of her life
Mrs. Nalan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed softly.
Just then...
Under the candlelight not far away, a small figure suddenly reflected in her eyes.
Mrs. Nalan was overjoyed, but when she saw the girl next to Nalandel, her expression changed instantly. She quickly stepped forward and snatched Nalandel out of Feng Ruqing's hand. Hold her tightly in your arms.
Her eyes were very panicked, and she hugged Nalandel hard, as if she was afraid that Feng Ruqing would bully her again.
"Auntie," Feng Ruqing understood where the fear in Mrs. Nalan's heart came from. She smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, I won't bully her. This time, Dai'er wanted to buy cakes for her cousin and got lost outside. I bumped into her, so I sent her back."
Mrs. Nalan still couldn't believe Feng Ruqing, and her eyes were wary: "Thank you very much, princess. I won't bother her in the future. Dai'er, you can't do this again in the future, my mother is almost scared to death by you." ”
Nalandel put her head in Mrs. Nalan's arms, and her little face burst into a bright smile: "Mom, don't be afraid, cousin... protect me."
Feng Ruqing protects Dai'er
There was doubt in Mrs. Nalan's eyes. As long as she didn't bully Dai Er, she would be grateful to her for the rest of her life, let alone expect her to protect her.
"Aunt, I really don't mean any harm," Feng Ruqing said with a heavy expression, "I came here this time to ask... how is grandpa's health?"
She did not mention the fact that her cousin's engagement was annulled. She was too embarrassed to mention it. She could not mention it in front of Mrs. Nalan, otherwise, their relationship would be even more irreparable.
Mrs. Nalan smiled reluctantly: "How did my father become like this? Princess, doesn't he know? That iron-blooded order was forged with the queen's life's blood. Princess, you insist on giving it to Concubine Rong. My father is with you." I begged you for days and nights, but you refused to see him... After that, his health became worse day by day. "
