"Xiaochuan, I-I'm on this side-" Gao Yu hesitated. He actually had already made a choice.

"Uncle, the housekeeper asked me to go play football on the lawn. I'm going to hang up now. Uncle, go ahead and do your thing. Don't rush back. Bye."

Wen Xiaochuan heard Gao Yu's embarrassment, found a very lame excuse, and hung up the phone early.

Although he grew up without a mother, he didn't feel very sad because there were many people who loved him.

However, now his uncle, the only one who remembered his birthday, had also forgotten his birthday. How could Wen Xiaochuan not be sad?

He returned to his room sobbing, curled up and hid under the desk. The little guy hugged his knees with his hands, and his unstoppable tears wet his collar.

I don’t know how long I cried, but Wen Xiaochuan was tired and fell asleep unknowingly.

The housekeeper was outside watering the lawn when the black Jaguar that had been out returned.

The car door opened and Gao Yan got out carrying a car model cake.

"Mr. Gao, whose birthday is today?" asked the housekeeper.

"Xiaochuan, today is Xiaochuan's fifth birthday." Gao Yan was in a good mood, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Oh, why didn't you tell me in advance? I need to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Xiaochuan's birthday." The housekeeper immediately turned off the water valve, put away the water pipe, and said, "I'll go to the supermarket now."

"Well, drive my car." Gao Yan threw the car keys to the butler.

"Okay." The housekeeper took the key and said, "I'll go change my clothes."

"Ah."

Gao Yan went into the house and put the cake in the refrigerator.

He glanced at the living room, but Wen Xiaochuan, who usually played with building blocks on the carpet, was nowhere to be seen.

"Xiaochuan." Gao Yan loosened his tie with one hand and went to the study on the first floor to find Wen Xiaochuan.

The study door was open. Gao Yan stood at the door and took a casual look. Wen Xiaochuan was not inside.

"Ogawa? Are you upstairs?"

No one answered.

"Ogawa, where are you?"

Still very quiet.

Gao Yan immediately felt something was wrong. He ran to the second floor and quickly opened Wen Xiaochuan's bedroom door.

"Xiao Chuan?"

The bedroom was empty, and Gao Yan was really anxious.

"Ogawa! Ogawa!"

He opened the doors of all the bedrooms and looked for Wen Xiaochuan one by one, but there was no sign of him.

Oh no, he won’t go to the beach alone.

Gao Yan's tall figure quickly ran out of the villa and came to the wide beach.

He thought that Xiaochuan liked the sea and liked playing with sand, and maybe he was just playing around and sneaked out alone.

However, Gao Yan ran almost the entire coastline but found no trace of Wen Xiaochuan.

He looked at the vast blue ocean, with waves coming one after another. It would be very dangerous for a five-year-old child to fall into the sea.

No matter how playful Xiaochuan is, he would never run into the sea alone. Gao Yan is absolutely sure of this.

"Could it be?"

Gao Yan felt as if he had fallen from a height of ten thousand meters.

A dangerous thought flashed through his mind. Could it be that Ogawa was forcibly recalled to the Taifeng Dynasty?

Once this idea emerged, it grew wildly in my heart like weeds.

Ogawa is still young and has no father's protection. He can easily be burned by the high temperature when passing through the time tunnel corridor.

Besides, he would no longer be the crown prince when he returned, so who could protect him?

Gao Yan's hands trembled uncontrollably. He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

Master Huang said that except for him, no one in the entire Taifeng Dynasty had the ability to forcibly summon them back.

Moreover, because he tried to forcibly spy on the secrets of heaven and sent Li Zhao and Li Heng back to a parallel world many times, Huang Dashi was punished by heaven and his body deteriorated severely.

It had taken all of Huang Dashi's energy to send the three of them and a boat full of antiques over.

Taifeng Dynasty, Observatory.

"Your Majesty, have you really made up your mind? Once you go, you can never come back."

Li Zhao stood on the observatory, facing the wind and looking at the distant sky.

"I have given up."

Master Huang, with a head full of silver hair, looked up at the tall young emperor.

"You've put so much effort into unifying the Taifeng Dynasty. Do you really want to give up?"

"I have decided to pass the throne to my seventh uncle. The Taifeng Dynasty will be handed over to him."

Li Zhao's seventh uncle was born to an unfavored concubine of the previous dynasty. His natal family had no power and he was not favored by the royal family. In the bloody battle for the throne among the princes, so many princes died, but he was the only one who survived.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. The Seventh Prince, who voluntarily avoided the world, would never have imagined that Li Zhao would take the initiative to hand over the jade seal to him.

Huang Dashi wanted to advise: "Prince Ruiping has been taking blood from his heart every day, and his cold symptoms are getting worse. I am worried that he will not be able to survive in this world for much longer."

"That was Ah Heng's choice."

"What about you, Your Majesty?" Huang Dashi had been terrified by the brothers' madness over the past five years. "You are the ruler of a country, yet you are willing to be a test subject for drugs. In the past five years, you have consumed so many poisonous insects, snakes, and herbs. Although you haven't developed symptoms like Prince Ruiping's, if you do, I'm afraid it would be more poisonous than a cold."

"This is my choice."

Li Zhao and Li Heng decided to take this step five years ago.

Huang Dashi tried to persuade him in vain, so he could only lower his head and say nothing.

-

The fishy and wet sea breeze swept across his face, and Gao Yan woke up from his memories.

Wen Xiaochuan can't go back to Taifeng Dynasty, he is still here.

Gao Yan's heart was beating unusually fast. He forced himself to calm down and quickly ran back to the villa from the beach.

His shoes and trouser legs were filled with sand, which fell to the ground as he ran.

Gao Yan searched every corner of the villa and finally found Wen Xiaochuan under his desk.

The little guy has fallen asleep.

I don’t know how long I cried, my little face was covered with tears, and my little head hit the table leg, leaving a deep red mark.

Gao Yan gasped for breath, and his heart, which had been squeezed by an invisible hand, was finally released.

He watched quietly for a long time before half-kneeling on the ground and carefully picking up Wen Xiaochuan.

The little Wen Xiaochuan curled up in Gao Yan's arms and slept soundly.

Gao Yan rarely hugged him.

It's not that he doesn't love Wen Xiaochuan, but he is very busy. After dealing with the affairs of the court, he went straight to the observatory.

Li Zhao was a test subject for medicine. Li Heng took blood from his heart every day to make pills, which Li Zhao took.

After taking the pill, go to the top of the observatory and serve as a guide between the two worlds. Master Huang chants mantras and performs rituals to connect the parallel time and space.

Pills are harmful to the body, but in order not to give up any chance of success, Li Zhao did not let anyone replace him.

Because of this, his concern for Wen Xiaochuan became negligible.

Even Wen Xiaochuan himself felt that his uncle was the person who loved him most in the world.
