Skretil's Ignorance Walker

After thinking of Gladiolus and Magnolia, Platycodon changed direction and walked towards Gladiolus's room first.

"Your Highness the Queen."

When the guards guarding in front of Jianlan's room saw Kikyo, they also saluted respectfully. Kikyo did not hesitate and asked the guards as soon as he arrived.

"Is Jianlan asleep already?"

"This……"

Hearing this question, the two guards looked at each other, then secretly looked at the crack in the door of Jianlan's room. After seeing that there was still light inside, they answered Kikyo:

"Your Majesty, the princess should not be asleep yet."

"Yeah……"

After getting this answer, Kikyo felt much better, so she knocked on Jianlan's door.

"Gianlan, are you still awake?"

After a while, Kikyo heard Jianlan's voice from the room.

"Mother? Is that you? Please come in quickly!"

"Hum~"

Hearing Jianlan's surprised voice, Kikyo seemed very happy. She gently pushed open the door and saw Jianlan sitting at the desk.

"My dear, long time no see~"

As soon as the mother and son met, they gave each other an intimate hug.

"Mother, why did you come to Yi Wanhua City?"

After the hug, Jianlan looked at Kikyo happily. They hadn't seen each other for a while, and now they seemed particularly close.

"I heard that you were attacked, so I came here specially."

Kikyo also said with a smile, as if the quarrel with the queen just now had never happened, leaving only the image of a kind mother in front of Jianlan.

"I'm fine. Your Majesty has been protecting me. I haven't been hurt at all."

Jianlan also said happily that when facing her mother, it seemed that she finally didn't have to disguise herself like she did in front of outsiders, and she showed an innocence that suited her age.

"Yeah, I know everything..."

Kikyo gently stroked Jianlan's head, then sat on the bed with Jianlan and started chatting.

"My future queen, have you studied well with His Majesty during this period?"

"Yes, of course! Even His Majesty praises me from time to time!"

"Really? That would be great."

The two of them couldn't help but let down their guard when facing their loved ones. Although as members of the royal family, they still have to abide by some rules even in this environment, there is no doubt that this moment is the easiest and most relaxed moment for them in recent times.

"By the way, I wonder if Mu Lianhua is asleep. I want to chat with her too..."

Kikyo suddenly said this in the middle of the conversation. It was already late at night, and she was worried that Mulianhua had already gone to bed.

"It's okay, I'll go call her."

Seeing that her mother wanted to see Mulian, Jianlan volunteered to step forward, but before she could take two steps, she was stopped by Kikyo.

"Forget it. If she's already asleep, don't bother her. It'll be the same if we meet tomorrow."

In the face of Kikyo's dissuasion, Jianlan shook her head.

"But mother, tomorrow Mu Lianhua will leave Wanhua City for Kroma to take up her post. If we wait until tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be too late."

"what?!"

After hearing the news, Kikyo was very surprised. Although she knew that Mulianhua would definitely leave the palace to manage her own territory in the future, it was too early now. Mulianhua was still young. How could she be allowed to manage a piece of land alone?

"How could this be? Did His Majesty say this himself?"

"Uh-huh."

In response to Platycodon's question, Jianlan nodded, but she didn't dare to tell the truth, because it was Jianlan who persuaded the queen to let Mulianhua leave Yi Wanhua City earlier.

"Really? I'll leave it to you then..."

Knowing that Mulianhua would leave Yi Wanhua City tomorrow, Kikyo seemed a little lonely. When she thought about her youngest daughter having to face those dirty adults, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken for Mulianhua.

"Yes."

Jianlan nodded, then ran all the way to the door of Mulianhua's room next door.

"Mulianhua! Don't sleep! Mother wants to see you!"

When they arrived at the place, Jianlan did not wait for the guards around to react, but took the lead in knocking on Mulianhua's door.

Not long after, Mulianhua's sleepy voice was heard from inside.

"Ah...what happened...? An earthquake?"

"What's the earthquake? Mother is here. She said she wants to see you. Get up quickly!"

At this time, Jianlan was getting a little impatient, so she opened the door and rushed towards Mulianhua who was still dazed on the bed.

"Eh? Sister Wang, what are you doing..."

"Stop dawdling and let's go!"

Before Mulianhua could react, Jianlan picked her up and ran to her room.

"Ehhhhhh?! What happened?!"

Mulianhua, who was still at a loss, screamed, but when she was thrown onto her bed by Jianlan and saw Platycodon, Mulianhua roughly understood what was going on.

"Mother...Mother Queen?! Why are you here?!"

After seeing Platycodon, Mulian was also very surprised. She didn't expect that she could see her mother again before leaving.

"The wood lotus..."

But at this moment, Kikyo no longer had the smile and relaxation she had just had. After learning that Mulian would leave tomorrow, Kikyo was filled with endless worry.

Then Kikyo hugged the petite body of Magnolia in her arms and did not let go for a long time.

"Mother..."

Although Mulianhua didn't quite understand, after feeling the warmth from her mother, she closed her eyes and hugged Platycodon, beginning to enjoy this brief tenderness.

"..."

Seeing this, Jianlan seemed a little unhappy, but she couldn't say much at this time, so she could only wait for the two to separate on their own.

After Kikyo finally let Mulianhua go, she still couldn't help but worry and kept stroking Mulianhua's fragile body.

"My dear little wood lotus, I heard that you will be going to your territory to take up your post tomorrow. Is this true?"

"Well! Now I am an adult who can stand on my own! Mother, I am awesome, right?"

Compared to the extremely worried Platycodon, Mulianthus had no such worries at all. She just proudly showed off her achievements to her mother, just like a child showing off his new toy to his mother.

"Uh-huh."

At this time, Kikyo didn't say anything more, but just kept stroking the small body of Magnolia, but she was still worried in her heart.

"Come, let me tell you how to manage your own territory..."

After becoming really worried, Kikyo decided to temporarily teach Mulianhua some management experience, hoping that she could use it in the future, so she began to teach Mulianhua earnestly.

"Ok!"

Mulianhua nodded happily, and then listened attentively with Jianlan.

The three of them chatted until the early morning.
