Xianglan's eyes were extremely complicated, full of fear and anger.
When Zhao Huan was fostered in Renming Hall, Xianglan was only twelve years old. She was just a young girl. She really had to worry about taking care of the young Zhao Huan.
Ten years apart, we meet again.
The sharp-tongued Pandan originally planned to punish Zhao Huan with small punishments and big warnings, so that Zhao Huan would have a long memory.
Unexpectedly, the little prince who always liked to hold Pandan's thigh in his memory had turned into a terrifying and majestic prince.
Things have changed and people have changed, and the family ties in the past have faded...
At this time, the familiar voice of "Sister Xianglan" seemed to reveal memories that had been sealed for many years.
"This servant absolutely cannot bear the prince's words..."
Zhao Huan's eyes were also a little complicated.
Because his memory when he was young was too vague, Zhao Huan would not have been able to recall what happened that year if Queen Xiansu hadn't mentioned it.
Zhao Huan did not hesitate, and saluted directly to Xianglan. His waist was almost bent at ninety degrees, and his gestures were all respectful.
"When I was young and careless in the past, it is difficult to remember Sister Xianglan's care and concern."
"Now that Prince Ding's palace is surrounded by enemies, I can only be more cautious. Anyone who dares to override the palace will be attacked head-on by me."
"Please bear with me for the disrespect I showed to Sister Xianglan earlier."
"If you don't worry about Wang Wei, even if you kowtow and apologize to Sister Xianglan, what's the harm?"
Hearing this, Pandan's eyes were already red.
Xianglan is only four years older than Zhao Huan. Compared with the wet nurse, she is more like a sibling or a playmate.
In the past ten years, Xianglan had been paying attention day and night, and whenever she had the opportunity, she would ask someone to find out about Zhao Huan.
After learning about Zhao Huan's experiences over the years, Xianglan was so worried that she couldn't sleep all night long.
Even though he misses her deeply, He Yijie, the maidservant, can only suppress his longing and dare not reveal any of his feelings.
Realizing that Zhao Huan had already thought of her, Xianglan couldn't hold back anymore and tears fell involuntarily.
"As a close servant of the Queen, if you are weak at all, you will be plotted by others. How many people want to use me to put spies around Her Majesty the Queen?"
"In order to protect the palace, you have become more cruel and violent. How can I, my slave, be the same?"
"Does it hurt? Don't bear grudges against Her Majesty the Queen, she has always treated you as her own child."
When I first met Xianglan, she was still an arrogant and annoying maid.
But at this time, the gentleness in the palm of his hand made Zhao Huan feel like a spring breeze.
Zhao Huan was both scared and lucky in his heart. If it weren't for the fact that Queen Xiansu was extremely difficult to shake, she would have almost killed the person who cared about him the most...
When Zhao Huan looked up at Xianglan again, the face that had become ugly due to disgust actually became bright and handsome...
It really comes from the heart.
"Who said that this king, whose father is not close to him and whose mother does not love him, is left alone?"
"The Renming Palace is all my dearest relatives!"
Xianglan burst into tears and laughed, but when she felt Yu Gui's strange gaze, she had to hide her true feelings.
The bright look was once again replaced by arrogance.
"Let's go quickly!"
"Renming Hall is not a place for you to come!"
Xianglan gave a sweet shout and left without looking back.
Looking at Xianglan's back, Zhao Huan's cold and hard heart couldn't help but loosen...
Is this...the taste of family love?
It turns out that I am not alone.
In addition to Zhu Lian and Zheng Qingyun, there are also mothers and sisters who care about him...
"Yu Gui."
"The slave is here."
"The people in Renming Palace are all close relatives of this king."
Yu Gui smiled with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never leak what I saw."
Zhao Huan nodded, ignoring Yu Gui's vow, and glanced at the imperial guards watching next to him.
"Record the names of these people for me."
"It's not easy for me to go back to the harem. I have to bring something back."
How could the imperial army not know the profound meaning of Zhao Huan's words?
Realizing that Zhao Huan was going to seal their mouths, all the Imperial Guards knelt down with a roar.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy. We will definitely keep our mouths shut and will never dare to reveal even a single word."
Zhao Huan, however, had no expression on his face: "The reason why Prince Ding's palace has been able to support itself until now is not because of benevolence to all living beings."
"but……"
"My biological mother and adoptive mother are both known for their kindness."
"For the sake of the two queens, I will give you a chance."
"Remember, if anyone uses this matter to make a fuss, I will kill you all first."
All the Imperial Guards looked at each other in disbelief, not even having the slightest doubt. They knelt down and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic.
They knew very well that even if Zhao Huan entered the palace once, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but trying to kill them would still be like crushing ants.
Gao Qiu's fate serves as a lesson to others and a lesson to others.
With Empress Xiansu's tacit approval, Zheng Qingyun's pardon was no longer a problem. All he had to do was go back and wait for the imperial decree.
Almost as soon as Zhao Huan left the palace, Zhao Ji stormed to the Renming Hall with great momentum.
"Queen, I have repeatedly warned you not to see that traitor privately."
"It seems you didn't listen to what I said!"
Looking at Zhao Ji standing in front of her with a cold face, Queen Xiansu was calm and unhurried, without the slightest hint of timidity.
"A palace wall separated us, mother and son, for ten years!"
"Concubine, I would like to ask Your Majesty, why are you so cruel?"
Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows and his eyes were sharp: "Are you blaming me?"
Not to be outdone, Queen Xiansu said: "Why, Your Majesty, is it no wonder?"
