The passenger uncle got up in shock and fished out the driver's baby. He held the baby in his arms and checked him carefully from head to toe.
"Ningzi, did you bump into anything?"
The frightened kid shook his head blankly. He was not hit, but he was a little scared.
The cub car that Huo Lin drove was a few years old, but before the cub was used, the mechanic personally checked it and found no safety issues with the car.
Even though the bike was mishandled by the kid and ended up in a ditch, he wasn't hurt.
Seeing that he was fine, An Nuo felt relieved.
He climbed out of the ditch holding the cub.
The clothes of the two children, one big and one small, were all dirty, which was unbearable for An Nuo, who had a mysophobia.
The little boy also knew that his uncle loved cleanliness, so when he was rummaging through the trash cans to pick up junk, he was reluctant to let his uncle do it.
Now not only did he make his uncle dirty, but he also made his uncle hold the dirty kid. The dirty kid sniffed and could hardly lift his head.
Not far away, the person who had suddenly run in front of the car just now saw that they had fallen into the ditch, and didn't even show any intention of coming over to check.
After noticing that the two people, one big and one small, stood up in the car, the child, who looked only seven or eight years old, turned around and ran away.
"Uncle, put the baby down!"
The little boy struggled to break free and jumped out of his uncle's arms, then ran towards the person who caused him to overturn the car.
"stop!"
The little kid yelled fiercely from behind: "Don't run!"
This kid didn't obey traffic rules, causing my car to overturn, and he didn't even apologize to me, which made me so angry.
The little guy has to run every day in kindergarten, so when he runs to chase people, he is like a little cannonball, launching himself out in a flash.
An Nuo didn't catch up with him.
"Ningzai!" An Nuo called the little kid from behind, fearing that the little kid would get lost while running.
The little boy was so obsessed that he just wanted to catch up with the man. He ran hard with his short legs, and after running two blocks, he finally caught up with the man.
The older kid in front of him panted and held onto the wall. He looked back at the little tail that he couldn't shake off. He panted and said incoherently, "You, it's useless for you to chase me. I don't have the money to compensate you."
The little boy was also holding on to the wall. He looked at the clothes on the older boy in front of him and knew that the other boy didn't have much money.
But since you have caused someone to have a car accident, regardless of whether you have to compensate or not, you should at least apologize sincerely.
"I didn't ask you to compensate me. You, you have to apologize to me."
The little boy was educating the older kid who was in tatters not far away. He said, "The teacher said that if you do something wrong, you should say sorry."
The older kid didn't say sorry, he just frowned at him and said, "Don't follow me anymore. If you follow me again, I will beat you up."
Little cub: “…”
Threatened with being beaten, the kid subconsciously turned back to look for the adults.
An Nuo's health has been taken care of by Zhan Xi and Ling Qi during this period, and it is visibly better than before.
But his health is only slightly better than before, and not yet as vigorous as before.
The little cub is now at an age with abundant energy, and it is still very tiring to keep up with such a cub.
An Nuo didn't catch up for a while.
Without the adults around, the little boy had no guard of honor. He looked at the older kid who said he was going to beat him up, and his chubby face wrinkled.
"I didn't mean to make you flip over. No, I did it on purpose."
The older child saw that he had a frown on his face and looked a little aggrieved, so he suddenly spoke again: "To tell you the truth, someone gave me money to take you away. If it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't have bullied you on purpose."
The older child's words stunned the younger one.
He was very familiar with the surrounding area, so he dared to go out alone to pick up scraps even when no adults were around.
But the older kid's words about taking him away scared him a little.
He took two steps back, clearly wary of the older kid who was leading him to chase after him.
The older kid was able to speak out loud because he had changed his mind and didn't want to kidnap him: "Little cub, I'm really short of money recently, don't follow me. If you continue to follow me, I might really lose control and take you away for money."
I don't know if this is meant to scare people, but it is very effective for little kids who are afraid of being kidnapped.
He looked at the older child who was chasing him away, and after taking a few steps back, he ran back.
"uncle!"
The little boy ran while calling for his uncle. After running for a while, he dived into his uncle's arms.
An Nuo picked up the panicked baby and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, uncle is here. What happened? Why are you so scared?"
"Someone wants to kidnap the cub."
The little boy hugged his uncle tightly and told him everything about the conversation he had just had with the older boy.
After listening to this, An Nuo hesitated for a few seconds.
Instead of looking for the older child, he chose to take the cub home.
An Nuo was in poor health and his mental strength did not have the slightest bit of aggressiveness. Although he had a lot of questions about the kid just now, he did not dare to go up to him himself, as he was risking his life.
After all, he and his Ningzi don't look like they would fight.
"Ningzi, let's go back and talk about this."
An Nuo carried the baby back with him. After returning to the place where the car overturned, the two of them moved the car together.
An Nuo didn’t know if it was Ann Nuo’s illusion, but he felt that the little fat boy seemed to be a little stronger than himself.
After working for a while, the car that had gotten into the ditch was finally pulled out.
The little guy picked up the spilled waste and put it back into the bag. He wiped the seat with his chubby hands, and then asked his uncle to sit down again.
The cub car whizzed away.
Not long after, the little boy returned home with his uncle.
When the two of them returned, Zhan Xi and Ling Qi were not there.
"Uncle, come here!"
The little boy parked the car in the parking space his father had drawn for him, then pulled his uncle out of the car: "Give your uncle a bath!"
An Nuo's cleanliness obsession had almost reached its limit. He found clean clothes for himself and the cub, and then took the cub into the bathroom.
The uncle and nephew were taking a shower in the bathroom, unaware that a huge crisis had already enveloped them.
In the court session today.
In front of everyone, Cole revealed a shocking revelation—
"Queen Ivy has woken up and is in the palace. Ludwig clearly knows how Queen Ivy woke up, but he refuses to reveal this secret!"
"Are you still going to trust and worship such a selfish emperor?!"
The things Cole revealed had been revealed before, but they were suppressed in a short time. Although some people had impressions of this, the impression was not lasting. Now that they were reminded again, the memory that was originally ignored was deeply rooted.
It is not known whether Cole was crazy when he revealed this information, or whether he knew that his death was near and wanted to make things difficult for Ludwig.
After he dragged Ludwig into the water, he also brought along the fat kid he mentioned on the phone: "The kid in the kindergarten class of the Imperial Military University, he was the one who woke up Queen Ivy! There are so many people in the empire who are mentally exhausted, they all deserve a chance to live!"
Cole was wearing a uniform prisoner uniform, but his back was straight.
He was like giving a speech, announcing the secrets of the royal family and the little fat boy. Just as he was about to solemnly say the little fat boy's name as the finale, a bullet hit his temple with excellent accuracy.
Cole fell to the ground on the spot, his body slumped to the ground, his eyes wide open, looking in the direction of the shooting.
In the dark.
General Mance, who had just arrived, held a black gun in his right hand.
He was hidden in the darkness, but his eyes met Cole's.
At this moment, the noisy environment around seemed to be a movie scene that suddenly disappeared, and the footsteps and people walking back and forth were like NPCs in a silent movie.
Mance looked at the fallen man quietly and calmly.
There was no fluctuation in his eyes, as if the person in front of him who was beaten to death by him had no blood relationship with him.
He should have done this many years ago.
It was only until this moment, so many years late, that he was able to fire the shot in the name of carrying out the order of His Majesty the Emperor.
Ling Qi and Zhan Xi, who were also here, saw everything that happened in the courtroom. From the moment Cole said the first sentence, Zhan Xi rushed forward with a sullen face.
But there were security guards in the court, so even if Cole was talking nonsense, Zhan Xi couldn't kill him.
Cole had been talking nonsense for a long time and was finally killed. Zhan Xi felt relieved when he saw him fall.
He still wanted to go forward and check if Cole was dead. If he wasn't dead, he wouldn't mind stabbing him a few more times.
"Zhan Xi, Zhan Xi!"
Ling Qi's face was ugly. He pulled Zhan Xi's arm and whispered, "Look over there, someone is recording! More than one person is recording."
The field is in chaos now, and many people are taking the opportunity to record videos.
Ling Qi thought of a countermeasure in the shortest possible time: "Hurry up and contact Ludwig, ask him to seal off all the space here, and then check the star machines one by one. Oh, and immediately block the signal here to prevent anyone from releasing the video."
I have to say, Ling Qi's brain works very quickly.
But although his brain worked quickly, it would take time to deal with this sudden situation. Even if there was only a short time difference, it was enough for the incident to ferment.
The court was sealed off, the signal was blocked, and everyone was checked one by one.
Mance did not intervene in the follow-up.
He is the best general and the top assassin around His Majesty the Emperor. Now he has completed his mission, and the rest of the matters will be handled by His Majesty the Emperor's other confidants.
Due to the changes that occurred in the court, Zhan Xi and Ling Qi couldn't leave for the time being.
After thinking for a moment, they called Huo Lin and asked him to pick up Xiaozai and An Nuo: "Linzai, let Ningzai and An Nuo sleep in the palace tonight."
Huo Lin just said "hmm" and went to pick someone up without even asking the reason.
When the little boy saw his brother coming to pick him up, he was naked and had not yet come out of the bathtub. He always took a long time to take a bath, not because he was very clean, but because he loved to play while taking a bath.
Put a few toy ducks in his bathtub and he will play with them for a long time.
"uncle."
Huo Lin looked at An Nuo who was already dressed, and took over the job of bathing the baby: "Let me bathe Ning, you pack your things, Uncle Zhan asked me to take you to live in the palace."
Although the little boy loved the food cooked by Ling Qi, he would still go to the palace every now and then to eat the food cooked by the chef. He never forgot his uncle when he ate delicious food, and naturally brought An Nuo with him when he went to the palace.
Huo Lin listened to An Nuo's question and answered honestly: "Uncle Zhan didn't tell me the reason, he just told me to take you there."
"Okay, you take care of Ningzai, I'll go pack my things."
Seeing that he didn't know, An Nuo didn't ask any more questions, but went to the house to pack up the things he needed for the stay. All the things he needed were brought from the sixth planet.
In the bathroom.
The naked little cub held the little duck and wanted to invite his brother to play with him, but his brother refused the invitation and forcibly took the little cub out of the bathtub.
"I'll wash you again in the evening. Now let's go back to the palace and have a delicious meal. The kitchen has braised some delicious meat, and the aroma is so good that the whole restaurant can smell it."
After listening to his brother's description, the little cub, who didn't want to come out just now, gave up struggling in a second and obediently let his brother wipe him dry.
"Brother, it's a stone!"
After getting dressed, the little boy reminded his brother to put on his ruby necklace. This "red gem" is actually a cheap gem that is despised by the entire galaxy, and not many people like to wear it in the countryside.
But I don't know why, the little guy likes it very much.
Uncle Zhan said that when he first picked up the baby, the baby had this thing hanging around his neck. Uncle Zhan once wanted to take off the cheek necklace, but as soon as he took it off, the baby started crying and no matter how he tried to comfort him, he would not cry.
Over time, Zhan Xi let his son wear this necklace.
Huo Lin held the baby in one hand and bent down with the other hand to put the ruby necklace on the baby in his arms.
He was very skilled in taking care of the cub. By the time Annuo had packed up everything, Huo Lin had already blown the cub's hair dry.
"Uncle, let's go."
"Um."
When they arrived at the palace, Ivy put down the star machine in her hand after seeing them. She had a smile on her face that was no different from usual, and her voice was as gentle as always: "Ningzi, you are here, do you miss your aunt?"
"Yes!"
Ivy took the little cub and hugged him, then kissed him on the face a few times: "Auntie, the cub wants some meat!"
"Eat, we'll eat big chunks."
Ivy prepared delicious food for the little cub. After feeding the cub, she took the cub to read picture books and do homework.
"Aunt, where's Uncle Lulu?"
The little boy played with his aunt for a long time, but he didn't see Uncle Lulu. He felt a little puzzled: "Is Uncle in the study?"
"no."
Ivy smiled and coaxed him, "Your Uncle Lulu is working overtime. He will come to see you when he is done. You play by yourself first. We will see Uncle Lulu later."
"good!"
The easy-going kid nodded and stopped asking for Uncle Lulu.
Time passes by every second.
The little boy has been busy since daytime. He persisted until about ten o'clock, and then he started to yawn sleepily: "I am sleepy, little boy."
Before waiting for Uncle Lulu, the little guy was finally carried by his uncle to sleep.
After settling the baby down, Annuo did not continue lying in bed with the baby. He got up and went outside to look for Ludwig.
Ivy's emotions could not escape his eyes.
An Nuo had long noticed that something was wrong with Ivy. She looked normal, but in fact she was very tense.
Ivy was not in a good state, Ludwig did not show up for a long time, Zhan Xi and Ling Qi did not call him and directly asked Huo Lin to pick them up. These people tonight were all very strange.
An Nuo walked in the corridor and arrived at the study in a few steps.
The door of the study was closed tightly.
But unfortunately, An Nuo had very good hearing and he could hear the voices inside, including Zhan Xi, Ludwig and Ivy.
Zhan Xi's voice sounded the most anxious: "This kind of thing is not easy to suppress! We can suppress it once, but we can't suppress it a second time, a third time, or more times! Cole died too quickly. Who told Cole, who told him these things?!"
Although the news that Queen Ivy was alive was leaked last time, Cole did not react at that time, so it is impossible for him to suddenly bring this matter up here.
And his Ningzai.
Zhan Xi racked his brains and thought a lot. He checked for a long time. He dared to swear that his Ningzi had never exposed his skills in front of Cole.
"Cole must die. If he doesn't die, Ningzi's name will have been exposed."
Ludwig's face was cold, and although his voice still sounded calm, people who knew him well could tell at a glance that he was furious.
"I will have people thoroughly investigate everyone who has met Cole during this period. The most urgent task now is to keep Ningzi under a tight cover!"
If someone wants to investigate, they can still find out who has close contacts with the palace.
Ningzai’s name was not revealed, but his situation was still risky.
"Ludwig."
Twice in a row, it was her presence that put the little cub in danger of being exposed. One can imagine how heavy the self-blame was on Ivy's mind.
She called Ludwig softly, "I can't hide anymore."
She is the empress of the empire, and for the dignity and credibility of the imperial royal family, she has to stand up.
"We must give the public an explanation for this matter."
Ivy had made up her mind. She walked to Ludwig's side, put her hand on his shoulder, and continued, "I will tell them that I am alive, but at the same time, I will tell them the truth that the person who saved me is not capable of saving all the people whose mental strength is exhausted. I cannot disclose the other party's identity. If they are not satisfied with my behavior... I respect all their criticisms of me."
As soon as Ai Wei said these words, Zhan Xi immediately understood -
Ivy is using her own reputation to take risks for the little guy.
Zhan Xi's Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't say anything to dissuade him.
He is selfish.
Compared to the infamy that Queen Ivy might have to bear next, he still wanted his cub to be a little safer.
His cub is still too young and must not be exposed at this moment.
"The Queen."
Zhan Xi clenched his hands into fists and whispered, "Thank you."
Ivy smiled and said, "You're welcome. If it weren't for Ningzai, I would still be lying in the coffin. I would rather face these storms soberly than lying in the coffin."
"At least my husband and children are by my side."
Ivy was open-minded. After telling Zhan Xi about her decision, she opened the Star Machine without any delay and posted a long article on her Star Network account.
In the long article, she mentioned that she was rescued by someone, but the other person was also physically exhausted after rescuing her.
Queen Ivy's writing style and wording are very good, but even though her wording is well written, the people still don't buy it.
All the people just want to know: Who is the person who can cure mental exhaustion
Their relatives and their loved ones also need such treatment.
In the face of life and death, how many people can remain rational
Although the royal family’s public relations department is doing its best to control the pace and try to stabilize public sentiment, this wave is difficult to stabilize.
Ivy's StarNet accounts were all attacked.
The conversation in the study ended in silence.
Ludwig never commented on his wife's behavior from beginning to end. He just stayed with her and supported her no matter what she did.
"It's getting late."
Zhan Xi knew what the current situation of the Star Network was without even looking. He did not continue to stay in the study room, but proposed to leave: "Ningzi, sleep here tonight. I'm going back first."
"Um."
Zhan Rao pushed the door open and left. When he left, the corridor outside was empty and there was no one there.
And after he walked some distance away, Annuo came out from the corner.
He looked at Zhan Xi's back as he left, but did not call him to leave.
Raphael gave him the Star Machine. Perhaps what he wanted to know could be seen on the Star Machine.
after an hour.
An Nuo had already figured out the whole story, and his message alerts were ringing wildly at this moment.
These were all messages Raphael sent him.
Ever since he broke up with Raphael, Raphael has sent him countless messages every day.
If he lost contact a little later, Raphael would worry that he had fallen in love with someone else.
At the moment, Raphael was not worried that he would fall in love with someone else, but he guessed what he was going to do.
He called and messaged An Nuo but no one answered. He felt as anxious as a big dog without his owner to comfort him.
Different from Raphael's anxiety.
An Nuo was very calm at this moment. He sat beside the little cub, looking down at the cute sleeping little cub. As he looked at him, he bent down and kissed him.
"Ningzi."
An Nuo called out softly, his eyes full of love for the precious little cub: "Fortunately, uncle came to you in advance."
If he had come a little later, if something happened to his precious baby, he would not be able to handle it in time.
At this moment, An Nuo was extremely grateful that he and his baby did not meet too late.
He kissed the cub, then posted a message on Starnet.
The message he sent was simple and straightforward, with only one line of text -
He admitted his identity.
After releasing the message, he went to find Ivy and Ludwig.
"You two, please forward my updates."
Otherwise, no one would have noticed his newly registered StarNet account.
