Xiao Xixi is Xiao Lingfeng's first child, so it stands to reason that he should love her more.
But because of Xiao Xixi's fate, she was sent out since she was a child and did not come back until she was fifteen years old.
They are nominally father and daughter, but in fact they are not much better than strangers.
Xiao Lingfeng came forward to greet him.
"Wei Chen pays respects to Xiao Liangdi."
Xiao Xixi asked curiously, "Why is my father here?"
Xiao Lingfeng hesitated again and again, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"It's your mother and your sister who are sick. They accidentally fell into the river when they crossed the bridge yesterday afternoon. When they were rescued, they were already unconscious. I invited all the famous doctors in Shengjing to my house. But it's useless, instead of getting better, they're getting worse. I really have no choice but to go to the palace to ask the prince and ask him to allow me to take the imperial doctor home."
Xiao Xixi blinked: "That's it."
Xiao Lingfeng frowned: "Why don't you seem surprised at all? Those are your own mother and sister. You know that they are in great trouble, shouldn't they be worried?"
Xiao Xixi calculated a hexagram for Xue Shi and Xiao Zhilan. The two of them will suffer a little, but their lives will be fine.
Since he can't die, Xiao Xixi feels that there is nothing to worry about.
But these words cannot be said to Xiao Lingfeng.
Xiao Xixi just smiled embarrassedly at her father's questioning, and then asked, "Did father see His Royal Highness?"
Xiao Lingfeng was very dissatisfied with her reaction, but now that she is the Prince Liang Di, no matter how dissatisfied he is, he has no right to point fingers at her.
He frowned and said, "No, His Royal Highness is busy. I can't go in until he is done."
He noticed the food box in Xiao Xixi's hand, and asked tentatively, "Are you going to give food to His Royal Highness?"
Xiao Xixi admitted frankly: "Yes."
Xiao Lingfeng took two steps forward and said eagerly, "Can you take me in? Your mother and sister are very ill, and we can't delay any longer. I have to invite the imperial physician back as soon as possible."
"Can not be done."
Seeing her refusal so neatly, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly got angry in his heart: "They are all your relatives, would you rather watch them die than reach out to help them? Why is your heart so cold-hearted? ?!"
Even if she was scolded, Xiao Xixi was not angry, she explained seriously.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't be sure that I can see His Royal Highness. Like you, I just arrived here, and I haven't let anyone go in to report. And you just said that His Royal Highness is busy, He may not be free to see me. If he refuses to see me, and I agree to your request, wouldn't I be ignorant?"
What she said was reasonable, and Xiao Lingfeng couldn't refute it.
He knew that he was too impulsive and had no brains to speak, but he was an elder, so he couldn't bring himself to apologize to the junior.
So he could only say with a straight face: "If the prince doesn't want to see you, then I will pretend that I didn't say anything."
At this time, Eunuch Chang walked out.
He didn't expect Xiao Liangdi to be here too, so he hurriedly bowed.
"Why is Xiao Liangdi free to come here today?"
Xiao Liangdi is the most reluctant woman in the East Palace to go out. Unless it is necessary, she is rarely seen going out. It is really rare to see her appear today.
Xiao Xixi said with a smile, "I'm here to deliver soup to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please let my father-in-law help spread the word."
"Okay, the slave will help you pass the message."
Eunuch Chang turned around and was about to leave, but Xiao Lingfeng hurriedly stopped him: "Eunuch, is His Royal Highness the Prince free to see me?"
