Xiao Yu said aggrievedly: "Aunt, I'm sick too. My back is injured so badly, how can I hurt her again? I won't do that. I actually like little Miaomiao too!"
The Duke's wife finally breathed a sigh of relief. She whispered to him, "Take good care of yourself, everything will be fine!"
Xiao Yu gave her an innocent smile, but that smile did not reach his eyes!
He knew that nothing could be done!
As night fell, the entire Li Wang Mansion fell into silence.
At this moment, a tired and hoarse voice came from Prince Li's study: "Uncle, must it be so serious? Yu'er is only angry because he lost his mother. Anyone would be unhappy!"
Prince Li handed the warm tea to Emperor Sheng An and said, "Your Majesty, it's a rare opportunity for you to leave the palace. Please try the Longjing tea in my palace and see if it tastes good."
A hint of impatience flashed across Emperor Sheng An's face. How could he have the heart to drink tea now?
All he could think about was how to keep Li Wang's family here!
He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, but couldn't taste anything.
He then said, "As long as you can stay, I can make any compromise, even sending Yu'er to the imperial mausoleum!"
Prince Li immediately interrupted, "Your Majesty, you were right. Yu'er is young. How could he possibly suffer in the freezing cold of the Imperial Mausoleum? As the current emperor, you should understand that our Prince Li's Mansion attracts attention because of its size!"
Emperor Sheng An stared at him helplessly, and after a moment he reluctantly explained: "They say what they want, but I understand that you and Zhan Yan don't have such thoughts at all!"
Prince Li smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, people's hearts are fickle. The more you care about something, the more vulnerable you become. I care about Wanwan and her children, so I can't let them suffer even the slightest injustice!"
Emperor Sheng An explained in a trembling voice: "It's not me, it's the Queen. She is dead now!"
Prince Li said, "Your Majesty should know clearly that our departure from the capital is the most satisfactory outcome. No one in the court will ever again say that Zhan Yan's achievements surpass his own. As for His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the resentment in his heart will gradually fade away!"
Emperor Sheng An was silent for a long time before he said solemnly, "Then the Imperial Uncle wouldn't take any soldiers with him, would he?"
A cold glint suddenly flashed across Prince Li's eyes. He frowned and looked at Emperor Sheng An: "Your Majesty, is this the main reason for you leaving the palace so late at night?"
A guilty look appeared on Emperor Sheng An's face. He subconsciously touched the jade ring on his finger and said, "Whether the emperor's uncle believes it or not, from the beginning to the end, I have only wanted to keep you in the capital!"
Prince Li was too lazy to argue with him. He said calmly, "Of course I won't take any soldiers with me. However, with so many family members and so much stuff on the road, we need the Royal Guards to escort us!"
Emperor Sheng An nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely let the Imperial Guards escort you safely to southern Zhejiang!"
Prince Li responded and raised his head to drink the tea in his hand.
Emperor Sheng An understood that this was a ceremony to serve tea to the guests, so he tactfully stood up and took his leave.
He walked outside and saw the pitch-black night sky. He couldn't help but murmur, "Soon, the capital will be in turmoil because of Prince Li's family relocation. I also want to see how many of these important officials in the court will side with them!"
The next day, the news of the family's relocation from the palace had spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
The first one who couldn't sit still was Fang Qingshan. He brought Yin Yue directly to Li Wangfu to inquire about the news.
He followed Zhan Yan into the study and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you leaving so suddenly? What happened?"
Zhan Yan simply said four words: "I can't stay here!"
Fang Qingshan was silent for a moment before hesitantly speaking, "What about us? Can we bring our Fang family with us?"
Zhan Yan looked at him in surprise: "Are you leaving too?"
Fang Qingshan frowned and said, "Without you, what's the point of this capital? Besides, I'm just holding an idle position now, and the court won't use me much. If I follow you, maybe I can go train the troops again. Southern Zhejiang should be short of guards, right?"
Zhan Yan's heart moved slightly. Fang Qingshan was right. Although southern Zhejiang was the fiefdom of King Li, he had not been there in person for so many years. Things and people must have changed a lot.
Even the city guards do need a backup person to supervise them.
The person in front of me is indeed the best candidate!
Zhan Yan saw the expectant look on his face and couldn't help but say, "Don't worry. Qing Ning hasn't recovered yet, so she won't leave the capital so soon. Besides, your father is still a general in the army. I'm afraid the emperor may not let you and your wife leave!"
Fang Qingshan scratched his head: "What should we do? Anyway, you have to remember, no matter what, don't abandon us. Wherever you go, I will be your vanguard general!"
Zhan Yan lowered his eyes and chuckled: "Okay!"
The two had just finished discussing when Lin Ran walked in. He said in a serious tone, "Count me in too. The Lin family can never be separated, no matter what!"
The three of them smiled at each other, their faces showing anticipation for the future.
A few days passed peacefully, and soon it was Princess Youyi's birthday party.
Since the queen had just passed away, Concubine Rong was not planning to hold a grand ceremony for her.
But Emperor Sheng An disagreed. He felt that this was Princess Youyi's coming-of-age ceremony and everyone must witness it.
Lin Yiwan also received an invitation, and it was specifically suggested that she bring her three children into the palace.
In order to prevent any accidents, King Li assigned each of them a maid who was skilled in martial arts.
Little Miaomiao was very excited as it was his first time to attend a banquet in the palace.
She also refused to let the wet nurse hold her, and ran around everywhere on her own with her short legs.
Lin Yiwan was on high alert, paying close attention to her movements. No matter where she went, she would follow her closely.
Until the Duke's wife suddenly sent someone to look for her son, saying that her son had accidentally fallen into the water and was unconscious, and asked her to go over and check.
Lin Yiwan couldn't refuse and was dragged away.
But she still reminded Zi'er to take good care of the little cat!
She doesn't feel comfortable handing it over to someone else!
Little Miaomiao loved the Imperial Palace's garden. She started by catching butterflies, and then she heard someone shouting, "There are koi in the lotus pond! They're so pretty!"
Little Miaomiao's curiosity immediately piqued. She anxiously grabbed Zi'er's hand and said, "I want to see the koi. Take me there!"
Zi'er couldn't stand her nagging, so she took her hand and walked to the edge of the lotus pond.
As they got closer, they saw several koi fish jumping out of the water.
The big fish with red and white colors is particularly conspicuous under the sunlight.
Little Meow jumped up happily: "Look! The big fish is swimming towards me! Hurry up!"
As she shouted, she ran in the direction where the koi was jumping.
The accident happened in an instant. She missed a step and fell into the lotus pond.
"Miss!" Zi'er reached out to pull her, but failed to catch her.
The little cat fell into the water and disappeared in an instant.
