Liu Lianniang received praise from her father, and a pure smile bloomed on her pink face.
"That's right, Lian Niang is the best. By the way, daddy, can Lian Niang ask you a question?"
Liu Mingzhi wiped out all the millet porridge in the bowl in three strokes, then put down the porridge bowl and looked happily at the little girl with a serious face.
"Of course, Lian Niang, what question do you want to ask?"
The little girl tapped her pink lips with her delicate fingertips and was silent for a moment, looking at her father curiously with her big, watery eyes.
"Dad, what did you say about the crown prince? What is the crown prince?"
The little girl's curious question made the beauties who were drinking porridge stunned again. Their eyes glanced at her husband intentionally or unintentionally, as if they wanted to see how he would answer Liu Lianniang's question.
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Lianniang, whose little face was full of curiosity, and raised his hand with a smile to pinch the little girl's pink cheeks.

"The Crown Prince, the Crown Prince is the heir to the great dragon's 100,000 kingdoms and lands!"
"Heir?"
"Yes, heir."
After Liu Lianniang heard Young Master Liu's explanation, she raised her neck and thought for a while as if she didn't understand. At her current age, she obviously still doesn't understand what it means to be the heir of Dalong Shiwan Mountains and Rivers.
The little girl raised her head and thought for a while, then gently shook her head at Young Master Liu.
"I don't understand, it's too complicated."
"Hahaha, it's good not to know! It's good not to know! If you know too much about some things, you will lose the happiness you deserve."
When Liu Lianniang heard her father's gentle words, she hurriedly shook her little head with her hair tied in two buns.
"I won't ask anymore, Lian Niang won't ask anymore, Lian Niang doesn't want to lose her happiness.
Lian Niang is still so young. If she loses her happiness, it will be so uncomfortable in the future."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the innocent yet serious expression of nervousness on the little girl's pink face, and he burst out laughing.
"Hahaha... That's right, Lian Niang is still so young, of course she can't lose her happiness, otherwise, her future life will be too boring.
So, Lian Niang, you won’t care about anything from now on, don’t ask anything, just grow up happily.”
The little girl nodded heavily, raised her little hand and patted her swollen belly a few times: "Hmm, Lian Niang listens to Daddy, Lian Niang is the most obedient.
Daddy, Lian Niang’s Dudu is feeling better now, can I go to the yard to do some activities first and then come back to have some porridge?”
"Go ahead and watch your step so you don't trip over it."
"Yes, yes, yes, Lian Niang knows, then Lian Niang will go first."
As soon as Liu Lianniang left, Liu Shuang, Liu Keke, Liu Yunrui and the other little guys immediately put down the empty porridge bowls in their hands, got up and chased after Liu Lianniang.
"Sister Lian Niang, please wait for us, we will go with you."
After several little guys swarmed out of the main hall, Liu Mingzhi naturally took off the tobacco bag from his waist.
Liu Mingzhi skillfully filled the tobacco, lit it with a fire stick, then walked to the hall door with a stool and sat down with his legs crossed.
He acted like this because he was worried that he would choke Qi Yun, his sisters, and their children when he puffed away the smoke.
Liu Mingzhi puffed out a puff of smoke towards the outside of the hall with a contented look, then turned to look at Liu Yaoyao, Liu Chengqian and his brother and sister who were sitting next to the table.
"Yaoyao, Chengqian."
"father?"
"Daddy?"
"On the day when one hundred thousand soldiers marched westward, my father ordered you to secretly investigate the lists of people who were asked to be executed by the Qiu Queen in various state capitals. How are you prepared?"
Liu Yaoyao hurriedly stood up and walked towards Young Master Liu. She stopped in front of her father and reached out her hand to take out a document from her sleeve.
"Dad, my son and his third brother have already discussed it and packed their bags. We plan to set off after breakfast to investigate the confessions of those executed prisoners.
My son and my third brother originally planned to send daddy, you and your mother, and all the aunts and sisters their resignation later, but I didn’t expect that daddy would ask me first.”
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and blew out the smoke from his mouth, reached out to take the document in his daughter's hand and flipped through it casually.
"Yaoyao, Chengqian."
"The child is here."
"Every year, the imperial court executes a group of death row prisoners for heinous crimes. This is not a strange thing. However, the number of death row prisoners executed this autumn has more than doubled compared to last year.
My father was worried that there might be some false or unjust cases, so he sent you two siblings to go to various state capitals to secretly review it.
After you have determined in the various state capitals that the confessions of the death row prisoners are conclusive, you can directly order the local chief officials to escort the death row prisoners to the execution ground for execution on the spot.
However, if it is discovered that the confessions of some death row prisoners are inconsistent with their previous confessions in the documents, you should immediately order the Ouchi guards who follow you to escort those prisoners whose circumstances are not right back to the capital, and your father will review their files."
"Yes, I understand, kid."
"Just understand. You are all grown up. Leave these matters to your father. Don't worry.
By the way, if you find any inmates on death row whose confessions are inconsistent with their confessions, you must ensure their personal safety.
You must know that once this situation occurs, it is not just a matter of whether the death row inmate has been unjustly, falsely or wrongly convicted, it may also involve major hidden secrets of state officials bending the law for personal gain and disregarding human life.
Therefore, you two must ensure the personal safety of those death row inmates with special circumstances."
"My child obeys your orders, please don't worry, daddy."
“Another point is that when reviewing the case files of those death row inmates, if you discover that local state officials have violated the law for personal gain, you must not act rashly.
You just need to silently write down the identities of those officials and the evidence of the crimes they committed, and let your father handle all matters.
No matter what happens, ensuring your own safety first is the most important thing, remember?"
"My child understands."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, taking a long puff of dry cigarette. With the smoke in his mouth, he turned to look at Ying'er, who was sitting not far away.
"Ying'er."
"Master?"
"Ying'er, you should go to your husband's study immediately and take the two volumes of imperial edicts from the drawer on the far left of the desk and give them to Yaoyao, Chenggan and his brother and sister respectively.
By the way, do you have the key to the study with you? If not, I will give you my master key first."
Ying'er hurriedly stood up and walked out, patting her chest with a sweet smile.
"Master, Ying'er always carries the key to the study close to her body. So Ying'er went to the study first to get the imperial edict?"
"Go ahead and don't forget to lock the door when you come out."
Ying'er nodded obediently, trotted out of the main hall waving her jade hands.
"knew."
Liu Mingzhi watched Ying'er's beautiful figure hurried away, and happily leaned over the threshold to knock out the embers in the smoke pot.
"Yaoyao, Chengqian."
"The child is here."
"You two siblings also go and clean up. After your Aunt Ying'er hands you the imperial edict, go to the palace and ask your Uncle Song to order some troops for you!"
"Yes, kid, please retire."
"Well, go ahead."
Qi Yun, the third princess and the two sisters watched the siblings leave the main hall unhurriedly, and hurriedly got up and walked to Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, I, my sisters, are going to take care of the children. Don't forget anything by then."
"Okay, let's go, Lian'er, Sister Ya, you two sisters will also go there together and prepare some things for them to use for self-defense.
Although the Ouchi guards are all top-notch masters, they are still prepared for any danger after all!"
