Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

People were hurrying on the streets and the people were living and working in peace and contentment. Although Tan Qianhuan had a beastly heart, he managed Jizhou in an orderly manner and all the people in Jizhou praised him highly.

"What do you want to eat today?"

"Um... just some candy?"

"it is good."

The two of them walked around for a long time, bought a lot of snacks and drank tea in the teahouse.

It's another spring. Although Jizhou is in the north, it also has beautiful scenery.

"Godfather, you really don't have a woman?"

Tan Qianhuan’s eyes tightened!

"Why are you asking this again?"

"Oh, I just feel sad. You have managed Jizhou so well, but you don't even have a child. Who will the throne be passed on to in the future?"

Tan Qianhuan smiled slightly and peeled a candy for her.

"Your Majesty has been calling me a traitor every day before I got married. If I get married and have children, Your Majesty will probably think that I have a rebellious heart."

"So when you were young, you didn't have any women you liked?"

Tan Qianhuan smiled. He never regarded love as a necessity.

"No."

Ran Qianxi gently held the candy in her mouth, and Tan Qianhuan embraced her and gave her his favorite kiss.

"Then there must be a lot of people throwing themselves into your arms, right?"

"Leave it to them. My whole heart is on the country and you."

Ran Qianxi was stunned.

"Why are you involving me?"

"Why not involve you? Xier is the only woman I treat differently in my life."

Perhaps Ran Qianxi doesn't understand his implied meaning yet, but she will be stunned when the mystery is revealed.

"My foster father treats me so well."

Ran Qianxi looked around and suddenly saw a little girl in front of the pastry stall, her eyes full of fear.

Tan Qianhuan immediately looked in the direction she was looking.

"What are you looking at, Xier?"

Ran Qianxi was stunned and turned around. When she turned around again, the little girl disappeared out of thin air.

"nothing…"

Tan Qianhuan raised his eyes and guessed that something was wrong, then turned and looked at Ran Qianxi with a smile.

"Shall I take Xier to listen to storytelling?"

Ran Qianxi smiled and didn't think too much about the little girl.

"Okay, let's go."

At dusk, Ran Qianxi was strolling in the yard when suddenly a stone was thrown in. She looked around but couldn't see who threw it. When she went over to pick it up, she found the stone was wrapped in a piece of rag. She opened it curiously and saw two big words on her eyelids!

'Run for your life!'

"Mom..."

She hurriedly walked out of the palace and looked around but didn't see anyone. She walked behind the wall and saw Tong Jiangang putting away his sword.

"Chief Tong...Chief Tong?"

Tong Jian walked over and bowed.

"Hello, Miss Ran. I just heard some noise outside the wall, so I came to check it out."

Ran Qianxi clenched the cloth strip and hid it behind her. It seemed that this matter was not simple. Someone must have sent this message deliberately.

"Ohhh... Then you do your best..."

At night, Ran Qianxi was anxious and unable to sleep. She saw corpses all over the ground during the day and a strange little girl on the street. At night, she received such a secret letter. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.

'Boom~'

"Mom!"

A loud thunder in the sky frightened her to death. In fact, she was not afraid of thunder, but people are most easily frightened when they are concentrating.

"Oh my god... this is too scary... what is hidden in this yard..."

'Rumble'——

"Oh my god, no, no, I'm going to scare myself to death."

She picked up her clothes and ran to Tan Qianhuan's room.

“Godfather, Godfather!!”

Tan Qianhuan was discussing secret courtyard matters with Qi Shuang when they were interrupted by her knocking on the door.

"It's Miss Ran..."

Tan Qianhuan glanced at him, and he was about to leave through the back door, but Ran Qianxi pushed the door open and walked in. Everyone was stunned for two seconds when they saw him, and they all became nervous instantly. Unexpectedly, Ran Qianxi didn't recognize him at all, and she immediately jumped into Tan Qianhuan's arms...

Seeing her frightened expression, Tan Qianhuan became anxious and concerned.

"What's wrong, Xi'er?"

"I want to sleep with my stepfather instead of in my room."

Tan Qianhuan smiled and rubbed her back soothingly.

"Okay, but are you scared of thunder?"

Ran Qianxi nodded frantically.

"Mmmmm, that thunder is so loud."

Tan Qianhuan signaled with his eyes, and Qi Shuang stepped back. Then he carried her to the bed.

"I'll sleep with you."

"Okay, okay, come on, come on."

Qi Shuang walked out of the yard and felt more and more that something was wrong. She was so brave during the day, how could she be afraid to sleep at night because of thunder?

"How's the chief?"

Qi Shuang looked at the two brothers, who were the two who had carried out the mission with him during the day.

"I haven't found it yet. I have a feeling that the child is hiding near the palace."

"What should I do?"

"Hey... take your time. You and I didn't do a good job. Fortunately, Miss Ran arrived in time, otherwise we would have been whipped."

"The prince treats Miss Ran very differently. The women in the mansion..."

"Hush, hush, are you trying to kill yourself? Take a rest now and continue looking when the rain stops."

Tong Jian was on guard duty in the pavilion. He clearly heard a sound outside the wall. He flew out instantly but didn't see anyone. He either heard it wrong or it was a ghost. When he was puzzled, he saw Qi Shuang and the other two.

"Did you find it there?"

Qi Shuang and the other two stopped, turned around and walked into the pavilion, all with sad looks on their faces.

"Not at all. It's like it disappeared."

"Children are small and hard to find when they hide!"

Tong Jian’s brain flashed!

"What did you say? You mean children?"

One of the guards looked at him.

"Yeah, it was to catch the kids."

Hearing this, Tong Jian suddenly realized that it couldn't be a ghost, and the cat didn't make that much noise, so it could only be a child. He immediately turned around and went to check near the east wall!

The next day—

Ran Qianxi slept soundly last night in Tan Qianhuan's arms. She was not in a good state, and Tan Qianhuan did not do anything. Instead, he kept patting her until she fell asleep. But Tan Qianhuan was not seen in the morning.

"Is he busier than Baili Yong?"

After she got dressed and washed, she went out to find food and suddenly saw Tong Jian carrying a little girl. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was the girl she met on the street yesterday.

"Mom...what's going on here? Spy in the palace?!"

She followed all the way to Tan Qianhuan's study.

"My Lord, I have caught you."

"Oh my god... my godfather... please don't scare me..."

She hid stealthily, Tan Qianhuan looked up calmly, and the little girl had a horrified look on her face!

"Where did you catch it?"

"Return to the prince, Miss Ran is in her room."

Ran Qianxi, who secretly heard everything, was horrified. She didn't even notice that there was a child hiding in the room.

"Buddha bless you, what's going on..."

Tan Qianhuan's face looked heavy.

"Then Xier knows everything?"

Tong Jianli knelt on the ground immediately.

"Your Highness, this child sneaked in last night. Miss Ran should not know about it."

Tan Qianhuan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his temples.

"Kill him."

Tong Jian was stunned and immediately pleaded for the girl.

"Your Majesty, please think twice. This child... this child is just..."

Tong Jian hesitated, obviously having difficulty speaking.

"What is she?"

"She...replying to Your Majesty...she is the daughter of a spy."

Tan Qianhuan raised the corner of his mouth with satisfaction.

“Now that you know this, you should know what to do.”

"But she is still a child after all, Your Majesty. She is innocent. Please consider the blood relationship."

The gloomy expression on Tan Qianhuan's face was enough to make people feel so suffocated that they dared not breathe. This was a look that Ran Qianxi had never seen before.

"I will say it again, just kill him."
