"Hao'er, Yun'er, where are you?" Lu Xiaoli's voice changed, with a sobbing sound.
Nothing will happen, right? They have only lived here for a few days. There are often some vendors selling goods on small carts outside. Hao'er and Yun'er won't be cheated, right?
How could she be so careless?!
Hearing Lu Xiaoli's panicked voice, Tong Huaan pushed away Jiang Xiuping who had been pestering him, walked to the door and looked at Lu Xiaoli, who was in tears and panic, and frowned, "What happened? Where are Hao'er and Yun'er?"
?Weren’t they playing in the yard just now?”
Lu Xiaoli immediately started crying, "Yes, but now I don't know where I went."
Tong Huaan was startled. He didn't pay attention just now, he was just angry.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiuping also ran out and stood there, "Hey, where are Hao'er and Yun'er? Sir, when are we leaving?"
"Shut up!"
Tong Huaan reprimanded loudly and tried to keep himself calm. Although the two-bedroom concubine moved here not long ago, the courtyard here belongs to General Tong's Mansion, and no one would be stupid enough to kidnap the people here, especially the children.
Unless - unless it's him!
"Bring the horse here." Tong Huaan loudly ordered the slave driving the cart, "I want to go somewhere."
"Ms. sir." Lu Xiaoli burst into tears and looked at her husband pleadingly. Where is he going at this time? Doesn't he care about his children who don't know where they are?
"I'm going to bring Hao'er and Yun'er back." Tong Hua'an said loudly, got on his horse, and without saying much, rushed towards the house of Xuan Jinmo who had just left, "You just stay here, there is no need to report to the official, wait for me
information."
Lu Xiaoli watched blankly as Tong Huaan disappeared.
"It's all your fault!" Jiang Xiuping glared at Lu Xiaoli angrily and said angrily, "It's a good idea not to take good care of the child. If the child is lost, my husband is also angry, and our return will be delayed again. You
It’s so useless!”
Lu Xiaoli didn't make any distinction, she just cried softly with her mind completely blank.
The door of Xuan Jinmo's house was closed, and the slave at the door was sitting on a stone in front of the door to rest. He seemed not surprised by Tong Huaan who was rushing towards him, and watched quietly.
"Where's Xuan Jinmo? Let him come out to see me!" Tong Huaan said angrily.
The slave at the door had already stood up from the stone before he arrived, smiled, and said respectfully: "Sir, Master Tong, the master has gone to the palace."
Tong Hua'an was really angry. The slave's smile made him feel that everything that happened before must be related to Xuan Jinmo. It seemed that Xuan Jinmo was sure that he would come back again.
Without saying much, Tong Huaan turned his horse and rushed towards the palace.
Xuan Jinmo is the young minister who is most valued by the emperor today, and Tong Huaan is also a young man with considerable status. Especially with the Tong family's established foundation, the people in the palace are also extremely polite to Tong Huaan. He just got off the horse,
Someone stepped forward to help him lead the horse.
"Master Tong, are you okay?" The guard outside the palace was very polite.
"Did you see Xuan Jinmo go in?" Tong Huaan was so angry that he didn't want to say anything properly.
"Yes, I've been in for a while." The guard said politely and respectfully.
"I want to see him." Tong Huaan said without thinking.
"This--" The guard was a little embarrassed and hesitated. He could see that Tong Huaan was angry and couldn't guess what happened. It stands to reason that Mr. Tong had just married Mr. Xuan's biological sister, and the two should have a very good relationship, but look
The expression on Master Tong's face made Master Xuan's heart go crazy, "Master Tong, it's not that my subordinates don't want you to see me. Master Xuan is accompanying the emperor to discuss things at this time. If you go in like this, I'm afraid - it's better to do this."
Just wait here for a moment, maybe Master Xuan will come out soon."
Tong Huaan couldn't calm down and wait at all, but after all, he was in front of the palace. No matter how powerful the Tong family was, they couldn't enter or leave it casually. He had to suppress his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Then please go and report it, and say that I will find Xuan."
Jin Mo has something very important. If the emperor has finished discussing with him, let him come out to see me immediately!"
But in his anger, he didn't notice the randomness and wantonness of his words.
The guard was a little stunned, but then nodded respectfully and said, "Okay, Master Tong, please be a moment."
After waiting for about half an hour, the guard came out and said with a polite and respectful smile: "Your Majesty, please come over, Mr. Tong."
Tong Huaan suppressed the anger in his heart and kept a calm and gentle expression as he followed the guards into the palace. There was still some way to go, so he got on the carriage and drove for a while before arriving at the back garden.
Several people were sitting in the pavilion drinking tea in the garden. Apart from the emperor and the queen, they were his sister Tong Xiaoye and the hateful Xuan Jinmo. The four of them seemed to be chatting happily, and their expressions were all very happy.
Tong Huaan knew that his sister was summoned by the emperor to the palace to accompany Princess Tianxiang, so he was not surprised that his sister appeared here. His eyes were like knives gouging Xuan Jinmo, and then he suppressed his anger and knelt on the ground to express his anger to the emperor.
Salute and say hello.
"Haha." The emperor smiled and said slowly, "Get up, there are no outsiders, no need to be polite, come, come and sit, I just want you to come over."
Although Tong Huaan was eager to ask Xuan Jinmo about his children, in front of the emperor, he had to suppress the irritability in his heart, tried hard to maintain a smile, and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Tong Aiqing, I have to say sorry to you." The emperor said slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed by the sunlight, and his expression was very gentle, "My daughter was naughty for a while and asked Xuan Aiqing to ride a horse with her. It happened that
Xuan Aiqing had official business and couldn't leave, so Tianxiang asked Xiaoye to accompany her on horseback. As a result, Xiaoye accidentally fell and injured her body. Although her muscles and bones were not injured, she had to rest for two days. Seeing that the weather is good today, I asked her to let her go.
The servants pushed her over to enjoy the flowers and drink tea. While they were talking, they heard Guard Cao say that you have something urgent to do to see Xuan Aiqing, so I just took this opportunity to explain."
Xuan Jinmo smiled slightly and said: "Xiaoye's injury was also an accident. Princess Tianxiang is already feeling extremely guilty because of this. She is thinking about her mistakes behind closed doors. Cousin Hua'an will not be angry, right?"
Only then did Tong Huaan realize that his sister was sitting on a pushable chair. He was stunned for a moment and wanted to ask how the injury was and whether it hurt. But he glanced at the emperor and listened to Xuan Jinmo's lukewarm words.
I had to swallow my worries and said: "It's time for the emperor and Princess Tianxiang to worry. Xiaoye is the only daughter of her parents and the youngest, so she loves her the most and rarely practices martial arts. When she recovers from her injury, I will teach her well."
Horse riding so that she can have fun riding with the princess."
The emperor smiled slightly and said in a slow tone: "By the way, you were so focused on listening to me that you forgot to ask Tong Aiqing why you came to the palace to find Xuan Aiqing in such a hurry?"
