With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

After Lin Can was taken away, Xu Dingcheng was the only one left in the side hall. He became more and more uneasy. He stood up and walked to the door of the hall. He stretched out his hand to test it, but the towering door did not move at all.

Just when Xu Dingcheng was feeling anxious, Lin Can was brought to the queen. As soon as she entered the warm main hall of Fengqi Palace, she seemed to come alive.

The queen had someone bring her a bowl of ginger soup. Lin Can was frozen and had no time to blame the queen. She immediately picked up the ginger soup and drank it in one gulp.

She felt warm, and finally let out a long breath. She stared coldly at the queen, "Second sister, what are you doing? If you have something to say, just say it directly. Why do you have to use such a torturous method?"

The queen's face was expressionless. She only spoke calmly, "I asked someone to check the poison that Xu Dingcheng put on the flowered dress. It is a poison that can make people sleep for seven days and then die in their dreams. Lin Can, do you know about it?"

Lin Can didn't have time to hide the surprised look on her face, and the queen asked again, "You want me to die? I am your sister."

"Impossible," Lin Can was stunned for a while, and finally reacted and pointed at the queen, "Dahua has been brought into Fengqi Palace by you, so whatever you say is true."

Thinking of Qiqige, the worthless orphan girl from the grassland, who had sat at the right hand side of the Queen during the palace banquet, she became furious.

Why should a concubine occupy the position that belongs to her?

Lin Can seemed to be crazy, and would never admit that she was wrong. "Second sister, no," she said with a sarcastic smile, "Queen, why did you wrongly accuse my husband?"

The Queen looked at Lin Can without a trace of warmth in her eyes. After a long while, she spoke coldly, "Dahua is a sensitive child. She grew up in the malice of adults. Therefore, although she is only six years old, she can tell who is truly kind to her."

"Oh," Lin Can waved his hand disdainfully, "A wild girl who grew up in the countryside, given food to keep her from starving to death, is a gift from our Xu Mansion. What else does she want?"

"What else do you want?"

The queen stood up angrily, walked quickly towards Lin Can, and slapped her hard, "I want to adopt Dahua as my adopted daughter. The emperor has already drafted a title for her. From tomorrow she will be the Princess of Hengyang, and her fiefdom of Hengyang will be 1,500 households."

"Are you crazy? She's just a country girl..."

Dahua, who was hiding behind the screen, had already burst into tears. Emperor Mingde held the little girl in his arms with heartache and gently wiped Dahua's tears.

He said in a very low voice, "Don't cry, Dahua. Father is here. No one can bully Dahua."

"Yeah," Qian Qian held Da Hua's hand distressedly and nodded heavily at her, "Yeah."

[Da Hua not only has her father, the emperor, but also me and her mother. I like Da Hua so much. Come on, Sister Hua, give me a kiss.]

Looking at the little girl who pouted towards Dahua, Emperor Mingde broke out in a cold sweat on his back. No, where did this little girl learn such lewd behavior?

Before he could figure it out, Qianqian had already kissed Dahua hard. Dahua was amused by her and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, then held up Qianqian's little face and kissed her several times.

Qian Qian giggled when Da Hua kissed her. The Queen let out a long breath when she heard the laughter. She looked at the secret guards in the palace and said, "Send Madam Xu back."

"Yes."

Without saying a word, the female secret guard pulled Lin Can's arm and was about to take him out of the hall. Lin Can panicked, "Lin Qianyue, where is my husband? What are you going to do to my husband?"

The queen turned her back to her and suddenly felt the same way as Guo Mingyi and Zhao Linger. She didn't want to waste her time on Lin Can and his wife at all.

Besides wasting time, you also make yourself angry for no reason!

It’s not worth it. It’s really not worth it.

Xu Dingcheng was locked up in a side hall of Fengqi Palace without charcoal fire for a whole night. He was so cold that he kept running around in the side hall without caring about his image.

When the sky turned pale, the door of the side hall was finally opened.

Xu Dingcheng smiled and walked towards the visitor trembling all over. Before he could open his mouth to scold him, a bucket of ice water was poured on his head.

He felt a piercing cold all over his body, and his brain seemed to be frozen, and he had no idea what was going on.

Several young eunuchs waited outside the hall for half an incense stick of time before entering the side hall carrying clean clothes and charcoal.

He quickly helped Xu Dingcheng change his clothes, dried his hair, and then carried him to Xu's house.

Sure enough, Xu Dingcheng developed a high fever that day, and the entire Xu Mansion was in chaos again.

The queen immediately ordered her subordinates, "While Xu Dingcheng is ill, hurry up and take over all the properties of the Xu Mansion. Also, take care of the people he employs."

"Yes."

The secret guard took the order and left. The queen looked at Dahua who had just woken up. She held her on her lap and gently patted Dahua's head. "Good child, from now on you will live with Qianqian in the palace, okay? From now on, I am Dahua's mother, and your majesty is..." The queen frowned awkwardly, "Your majesty is Dahua's father, okay?"

Dahua nestled obediently in the Queen's arms. She had been back in the Xu Mansion for so long, but Madam Lin had never hugged her like this before.

After a long while, Dahua whispered, "Is it okay?"

"Of course you can," the Queen said in a gentle voice, "Although our Dahua is the child of Lin Can and Xu Dingcheng, they don't love Dahua, so Dahua can choose her own mother and father. Is Dahua willing to choose us?"

Dahua raised her eyes to look into the Queen's eyes. The Queen chuckled and looked into her eyes. Gradually, Dahua's eyes were filled with tears.

Her breathing became more and more rapid, her lips were pursed, the corners of her eyes, her face and the tip of her nose were all red, and after holding it in for a long time, she finally burst into tears.

The little girl buried her head in the queen's neck and cried loudly and heartbreakingly.

The queen couldn't help but tear up when she heard the crying. Xiao Qianqian, who was playing with Erdan on the side, was also startled.

She ran to Dahua in panic, stretched out her little hands and patted Dahua's legs again and again, "Ah, ah, no, huh, no,"

The little girl was so anxious that she could speak. She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead when she heard Dahua's extremely miserable cry.

[Wuwuwu, Tongzi, what happened to my sister Hua? 】

The system was also somewhat moved, [It's okay, Dahua has been holding it in these days, and today I can finally cry. It's okay to cry. If you keep some things in your heart, you will get sick. ]

Xiao Qianqian nodded, [Alright, alright, go ahead and cry. Even after crying, Sister Hua is still a strong woman.]

The queen hugged Dahua, secretly wiped her tears with her sleeves, and looked at Qianqian helplessly.

Erdan also wagged his big white tail and walked to Dahua. He tilted his big head and looked at Dahua with his ice-blue eyes for a long time.

Then he nudged the crying human cub with his big head, and rubbed Dahua's little hand carefully with the tip of his nose.

Dahua hugged Erdan’s big wolf head, buried her face in Erdan’s white fur and continued crying.

Erdan grinned, looking disgusted with Dahua, whose face was covered with snot bubbles, but he let her hold him without moving.

Dahua told herself that she would only cry this time and never cry again.

Because she finally has a home...
