The fish pond connects the past and present, and the tyrants of the fallen country seek fame every d

He thought that he would meet Xiao Yuan later and didn't want to be disturbed by his nephew, so he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"what!"

Hearing this, Xiao Anyu was stunned and obviously didn't react. He stood there blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Uncle Emperor, are you really going to let me go out and play by myself?"

He confirmed it again, seemingly finding it hard to believe such a decision.

"Hmm!? You don't want to go?"

Xiao Yanheng raised his head, raised his eyebrows, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"It's not impossible..."

Seeing that he seemed to be about to regret it, Xiao Anyu hurriedly said, "No! I really want to go play!"

His eyes sparkled as brightly as the stars in the night sky.

He looked at Xiao Yanheng with anticipation, afraid of missing this opportunity.

"Then can I go play with Sister Su?"

Xiao Anyu asked tentatively, his eyes full of desire.

"no!!"

Xiao Yanheng directly rejected his proposal with a firm and cold tone.

Xiao Anyu's expression immediately became depressed, like a wounded puppy, but he soon cheered up.

"Ok."

He murmured in response, forcing a smile.

He didn't say anything more because he knew it was useless to argue with the emperor's uncle.

Xiao Anyu walked out of the room slowly, holding the book, with a depressed look on his face, his steps seemed particularly heavy.

Seeing his small figure looking so lonely, Xiao Yanheng couldn't help but feel soft in his heart, thinking: Am I too strict?

He felt an inexplicable sense of self-blame welling up in his heart.

But hasn’t it always been like this?

Thinking of this, Xiao Yanheng still felt a little reluctant.

In the end, the softness of the heart triumphed over reason.

"and many more!"

Hearing this, Xiao Anyu immediately stopped, turned back, and asked excitedly: "Uncle, are you letting me go?"

There was unconcealable joy in his voice.

"Can I leave now? I'm all ready!"

Xiao Anyu asked impatiently, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

As he spoke, he raised his hands in an attitude of complete submission, as if he was waiting to be sent out on an adventure.

Looking at this appearance, Xiao Yanheng couldn't help but think to himself: This kid actually learned how to act.

There was a trace of guilt about his situation in my heart just now, but now it disappeared without a trace.

"What are you thinking about!"

"I promised your father that I would take good care of you. Here is the mission letter, take it."

As he spoke, Xiao Yanheng took out a book that looked very old but was in very good condition from the pile of books on the table and handed it to Xiao Anyu.

The book not only records many wonderful stories, but also contains many principles and lessons on how to be a person and do things.

After taking the book, Xiao Anyu's face was filled with disappointment and helplessness, and his originally bright eyes dimmed in an instant.

Although his diet has improved recently and his cheeks have regained some of their childish roundness, this makes him look even more pitiful and helpless.

He took a difficult step, slowly and stiffly approaching Xiao Yanheng. He carefully took the heavy assignment letter, still unwilling to give up his last glimmer of hope. He mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle, didn't you promise to take me out for an outing today? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The voice was weak and tiny. "Please don't regret it. Even if you don't go looking for Sister Su, please take back what I said, okay?"

He spoke in an almost pleading tone, his eyes filled with an infinite hope of changing his decision.

But Xiao Yanheng, who was standing opposite him, was still cold and ruthless, with no fluctuation in his expression.

"No! This decision cannot be changed!"

The tone was firm and stern.

Then he added, "Hurry up and do what needs to be done!"

He was not given a chance to retort.

Faced with such a firm attitude, Xiao Anyu could only sigh deeply, and seemed to become even more depressed.

"Ugh……"

There is so much helplessness contained in a sigh.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yanheng's mouth twitched slightly: Who did he learn this from?

I must ask Bai Yi to investigate the real reason behind this and consider whether I should hire some teachers to tutor and educate this little boy.

At this moment, these thoughts were quietly forming in his mind.

Just at this moment, Bai Yi, who had been paying close attention, noticed Xiao Anyu's lonely look and felt distressed.

So, he asked softly, "Your Highness doesn't look well. Did the Master just reprimand you? Logically, this shouldn't be happening today. After all, even Miss Su is coming to visit, so everyone should be very happy, right?"

After listening, the little prince nodded slowly, his eyes filled with unconcealable sadness.

This is really inappropriate for such a young child and looks a bit funny.

The child was wearing ill-fitting adult clothes and walked unsteadily, like a little performer trying hard to maintain balance on the stage.

Bai Yi and Wu Le watched this scene, trying their best to suppress their smiles. They gently consoled him, "Don't be sad. The master must have his reasons for doing this. Perhaps he's trying to protect you, or perhaps he wants to give you a special mission."

They whispered a few kind words to the little boy, and when they saw that the boy's mood had calmed down a little, they wisely chose to remain silent and not disturb this rare silence.

Of course, all the sounds in the room were heard by Xiao Yanheng who was eavesdropping at the door.

With the short distance between them and his own impressive martial arts skills, it was not difficult for him to hear these subtle sounds clearly.

This made him more determined to find some respected and good teachers to teach his nephew as soon as possible, and not let him live in a muddle-headed way.

It seems like he has been pampered too much recently!

This thought made Xiao Yanheng secretly blame himself.

The truth behind all this is currently far beyond the understanding of the person who was instructed to do something.

If he knew the true situation of the whole matter, perhaps he would obediently act according to what Xiao Yanheng said.

At this moment, something strange suddenly happened near the ancient dry well in the yard.

Xiao Yanheng, who was originally sitting leisurely in the study, suddenly became alert. He jumped up almost subconsciously and moved quickly to the well in three or two steps. The whole process took only a few seconds.

Due to the design of his residence, the study and the old well that had been dry for a long time were separated by only a thin earthen brick wall, so the distance between the two was actually quite close.

After taking his position, he immediately fixed his gaze on the deep and bottomless darkness. His eyes were extremely sharp, as if he could see through all obstacles and directly explore the secrets within.
