Chapter 228 Silly child, your father is praising you to death!
Hearing Aunt An's confident tone, Chen Ling'er's anxious heart calmed down.
Sitting back on the couch slowly, "Aunt, Ling'er should take a nap first, so that she will have enough energy to act in front of the miracle doctor later."
"Okay, okay! My little ancestor, I will take care of the rest." Aunt An tucked the corner of the quilt into Chen Ling'er's arms, twisted her slender waist and went out excitedly.
Zuo San took a look and saw that the mother and daughter were about to have trouble!
Chen Ling'er was lying on the bed like a dead pig. It seemed there was no need to monitor her anymore.
It’s better to keep a close eye on that bad woman and see what evil ideas she comes up with to deal with the master.
……
In the underground palace of the villa, the candlelight flickered, bright and dim.
The man with a ghost face sat on a replica of the dragon throne and crushed the mahogany dragon head on the throne with his right palm.
The man with the ghost face had madness in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked the black-clothed man kneeling below him: "Tell me! Why did the Right Hall Master disappear after only being here for a few days? What about those masters she brought with her? Did they all disappear?"
These are not ordinary people!
Unless they are willing, ordinary people can't get close to them. Of course, even masters can't do anything to them!
At the very least, they would be poisoned to death and their souls would return to the heavens! At the worst, they would be controlled by them and become puppets without thoughts or emotions!
They are his secret weapon and an indispensable part of this plan.
The man in black crawled on the ground, his voice trembling, "I went to deliver breakfast to them as usual, but the house was so quiet that there was no one. I searched the house several times inside and outside, but there was no one. But I found that there seemed to be a fight in the house..."
"Are they all dead? Search the whole city for me. Remember to search secretly! Don't come back if you can't find anyone!" A cold and dark light flashed in the eyes of the ghost-faced man, cold and bloodthirsty.
The man in black couldn't help but shudder and tremble all over. "I obey your orders!"
All the men in black in the underground palace filed out, leaving only the man with the ghost face sitting alone on the imitation dragon chair.
"Bang!" The handle of the dragon throne on the right side could not withstand the anger of the ghost-faced man and once again broke into pieces.
Who? Who is against me? Who is ruining my good deeds?
If I find out, I will drink your blood, peel off your skin, pull out your tendons, and then make a drum out of your skin...
……
Thousands of miles away, in Nanshun Kingdom, the weather is like spring all year round and the scenery is picturesque.
At this time, in the Ronghua Palace of Concubine Wan in the Imperial Palace, an elegant and dignified old woman was sitting on the concubine couch with a worried look on her face.
Concubine Wan, who was sitting opposite the old lady, walked up to the old lady with graceful lotus steps. The red jadeite pearl and phoenix-head gold hairpin on her head made a tinkling sound when it collided with each other.
"Mother, there is still no news about Qi'er?" She stepped forward and grabbed Madam Nangong's old hands, asking with a worried look on her face.
"Your Majesty, ever since Qi'er and Rui'er swore that they would not return home until they found their aunt, they would send a few letters home to express their safety in the first few years. But in the past two years, they have even stopped writing letters, and there has been no news from them at all." Old Madam Nangong bowed her head and shed tears silently.
"This child!" Concubine Wan didn't know what to say.
At the end of the last few years, when my mother came to the palace to visit me, the topic always came up with my eldest nephew Nangong Qi.
It was fine in the past few years. When my mother came, she would bring letters from my nephew and share with me his experiences outside the palace.
There has been no letter from her mother in the past two years. Looking at her mother's graying hair and increasingly old appearance, Concubine Wan rubbed Madam Nangong's shoulders with heartache and kept comforting her.
After my sister was lost, my father passed away a few years later, leaving my mother alone to manage the huge mansion.
After the eldest brother Nangong Boze inherited the title, his mother often fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures in the back hall, praying to find his sister as soon as possible.
The eldest brother had two sons: the eldest son, Nangong Qi, started learning calligraphy at the age of three, learned martial arts from a master at the age of five, and passed the imperial examination at the age of ten. He was a famous child prodigy in the capital.
But ever since he accidentally found out that he had a little aunt who had been left home since she was a baby and her whereabouts had been unknown.
I don’t know what was wrong with him, but one day, he suddenly told his mother that he wanted to travel around the world and find his aunt who had been lost for many years.
It has been almost six or seven years since I left.
This little bastard, he’s already grown up, but he doesn’t even know how to send a letter home!
Don’t you know that your grandmother at home must be worried?
This made other family members worried, but they didn't dare show their emotions in front of their mother.
"Mother, is it your grandmother who is here to see you?" At this time, a dignified and well-mannered young man walked in from outside the door.
Madam Nangong wiped away her tears quickly and said with a forced smile, "I meet the Second Prince!"
“Grandma, I’ve told you so many times, don’t always call me the Second Prince. It seems so distant! Just call me Rui’er.” The Second Prince, Nan Yaorui, shook Old Madam Nangong’s arm and said coquettishly.
"Second Prince, etiquette cannot be abolished!" Old Madam Nangong glanced at the maids and eunuchs standing around her and said with a serious expression.
Then he leaned close to Nan Yaorui's ear and whispered, "This is in the palace!"
Emperor Nanshun is currently in his prime and has five sons. Excluding those who died young, there are three adult princes left.
The three princes stared at each other with eager eyes, regarding each other as a thorn in their eyes and the strongest competitor for the position of crown prince.
That’s right, up to now, Emperor Shun of Nan has not yet appointed a crown prince.
He just watched the three brothers fighting each other and he reaped the benefits.
Nanshun State was the strongest of the four major states, rich in beautiful jade, with a developed economy and strong military.
Emperor Nanshun was a man of great talent and strategy, unparalleled in the world.
Since he came to power, Emperor Nanshun, who was good at making plans, used iron-blooded tactics to win over all the ministers in the court under his control.
The court was peaceful on the surface, but secretly there were undercurrents...
"Rui'er, have you handled all the government affairs assigned to you by your father?" Concubine Wan sat back in her original seat, looking at Nan Yaorui with a gentle smile on her face.
Nan Yaorui, who had been clinging to Madam Nangong, turned his face away guiltily, "Replying to Mother, today Father is only testing me in archery, there is no other government affairs."
However, his archery skills were not up to standard, so his father punished him by making him practice running circles and shooting arrows in the horse farm.
He didn't even listen to the guard who was training with him saying that Madam Nangong had come to the palace to see Concubine Wan, so he let go of the reins and ran over to pay his respects.
As for what my father said about running 500 laps before leaving the racecourse, I just ignored it.
Anyway, my father loves me the most, and he won’t say anything even if I fail to accomplish my task.
Concubine Wan looked at her silly son with a frown on her face: My poor child, you are still too naive! How can your father spoil you? He is flattering you to death! As long as you are not capable, you can't do this or that, and you will never be able to affect his stable throne.
But she couldn't tell him these words directly. Given his stupid personality, if she said them to him, it would probably reach the emperor's ears in less than half a day.
Concubine Wan sighed helplessly, "Rui'er, Qi'er hasn't written home this year. It's been two years, and I don't know where he is now? Is he living a good life?"
After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and rolled her eyes at him: If you hadn't provoked Qi'er, would he have been away from home for so many years? He vowed not to go home until he could find his aunt?
If I can't find my sister,
Looking at her old mother sitting opposite her with an old and haggard face, Concubine Wan didn't dare to think any further.
