Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

It wasn't until a sturdy brat jumped into his arms that Boss Yuan reacted.

"Guoan.....Guoan..." Boss Yuan held Guoan and spun around, and Guoan laughed out loud as he was spinning in the air.

Guoan's clear laughter came from the huge imperial study.

The emperor sat at the table and watched them immersed in joy quietly without saying a word.

After a while, Boss Yuan put Guoan down and asked, "Why are you here?"

Guoan replied, "Ten days ago, Uncle Yue suddenly came to Lihua Village to look for Yaoyao, so we followed Yaoyao to the capital. Yaoyao followed Uncle Yue and left. She only came back the day before yesterday."

"You mean Yaoyao is also in Beijing?" Boss Yuan was overjoyed.

"Yeah, grandma and Sister Ling'er are here too. Oh, by the way, Sister Ling'er was taken in by our family. She has beautiful eyes, one black and one blue."

Boss Yuan nodded, but didn't care much about the fact that there was one more person in the family.

"So where are Yaoyao and your grandma now?"

"Yaoyao is probably at Uncle Lu's place. As for Grandma, I only know that Uncle Yue sent her to a very beautifully decorated house."

Guoan replied.

"It seems that you are still family." The emperor suddenly spoke.

Only then did Boss Yuan and Guoan remember the existence of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty." Boss Yuan knelt down hurriedly.

"Nothing, I understand when family members meet." The emperor waved his hand, looked at Guoan and said, "Little Guoan, please go out first. I want to speak to Deputy General Yuan."

Guoan looked at the emperor with his round eyes and nodded reluctantly, "Okay."

He looked back at Boss Yuan every few steps and finally walked out of the imperial study.

Watching Guoan's departing figure, the Emperor finally looked directly at Boss Yuan and asked in a deep voice, "I heard from General Lin that you rescued those soldiers from the orcs back at the border?"

When Boss Yuan heard the emperor ask this, cold sweat broke out on his body. He answered with a stiff upper lip, "Yes."

"It seems that Deputy General Yuan must have some extraordinary qualities." The emperor said with a smile when he saw General Yuan's trembling look.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind... I only possess brute strength, and it was all a fluke."

Boss Yuan was still kneeling on the ground with his head lowered.

The emperor smiled and said, "Deputy General Yuan, there's no need to be so nervous. I summoned you in today because I want to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, please tell me everything I know."

"I heard that Lieutenant General Yuan fled from the north to the south to escape famine?" The emperor asked the question he had always wanted to ask.

Boss Yuan nodded.

"Yes, there was a three-year drought in the north at that time, and I had no choice but to flee south."

Emperor: "Could you please tell me in detail about these three years of drought?"

"Yes!"

Boss Yuan told the emperor all the details of the severe drought in the north without missing a word.

The prices at the town's grain shops fluctuated constantly, leading to incidents of cannibalism. Elderly people starved to death to save food, and ordinary people died of bloating from eating Guanyin soil. Bandits invaded the village, burning, killing, and looting, even forcibly abducting women.

The emperor's face was filled with anger as he listened to each and every incident.

The emperor's majesty was overwhelming, and Boss Yuan knelt on the ground and said nothing more.

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Deputy General Yuan."

Boss Yuan looked up and said, "I'll take my leave."

He probably guessed that the emperor had suddenly summoned him to the palace.

There has been a drought in the north for three years, and Guoan has been hungry for such a long time. If he saw the king of a country at this time, he would probably have complained to the emperor.

Guoan sat on the steps, his chin resting on his hands, his eyes blank.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he immediately stood up and jumped to Boss Yuan.

"Uncle, uncle, let's go find Yaoyao and grandma."

Boss Yuan's eyebrows were filled with a gentle smile, "Okay."

At this time, the emperor also hurried out of the imperial study, and Boss Yuan hurriedly pulled Guoan aside.

"Guoan, I asked you to look after Ci'er. Why didn't you tell me when Ci'er woke up?" The emperor came to Guoan and questioned him.

Guoan scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, you only asked me to watch him, but you didn't ask me to inform you, Your Majesty."

The emperor almost fainted from anger.

Left in a hurry.
