Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

Now that they had figured out the situation, Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian planned to return to Beijing early the next morning.

A few Canglong people were left behind to live in the old man's house, monitoring the surroundings at all times and reporting to Xiao Mobai immediately if something was wrong.

The next day, when he was packing his things and getting ready to set off, Gu Nian found a plant growing on the edge of the woods not far from the old man's house, with very beautiful flowers.

That location is considered to be close to the boundary of Lingnan, on the edge of the soft soil.

"Husband, look at that flower. It looks very beautiful. I have never seen it in the capital."

Gu Nian pointed to the woods in the distance and pulled Xiao Mobai's sleeve to let him see the scenery in the distance.

"Well, it does seem very beautiful." Xiao Mobai followed the direction of Gu Nian's finger and saw the flowers in the distance.

"Go over and have a look." After Xiao Mobai finished speaking, he held Gu Nian's slender waist and led her to the direction of the flowers.

When they reached the edge, Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian stopped first, and then tentatively walked forward. When they stepped on the hard ground, Xiao Mobai let go of Gu Nian with confidence and continued to walk forward while holding her hand.

"It appears there are currently no issues with the land."

"Well, I can go see the flowers with peace of mind."

Because Xiao Mobai was there, Gu Nian could completely trust Xiao Mobai to ensure his safety, so he focused all his attention on the cluster of beautiful flowers.

"This flower is quite interesting. It grows on the tree."

Gu Nian took a closer look and found that all the vines of the flower were wrapped around the tree. If it were not so close, he would have thought that the flower was growing on the tree.

"But looking at it this way, I feel that these flowers and trees are very ambiguous." Gu Nian sighed with a smile.

Xiao Mobai put his hand on Gu Nian's waist and said in agreement: "Well, it does seem very ambiguous. It would be great if Nian'er could stay by my side like this."

"What? Do you think I ran away?"

Hearing this, Gu Nian turned his head and looked at Xiao Mobai with great dissatisfaction.

"No way, but Nian'er has the ability to run around at any time."

When he was a child, he raised Gu Nian in the palace, and the little girl's heart and eyes were full of him. Later, as she grew older, the little girl began to like the world outside the palace and often sneaked out of the palace to play. If he is caught, he will be tempted to go out with him.

Later, she met Qionghua, learned about Tinglou's existence, and gained the ability to leave him at any time.

But Xiao Mobai was just talking. If the little girl was really tired of her current life, he would just follow her wherever she went. He would never allow her to leave his sight.

"I won't run around if I can, I will always stay by my husband's side."

Gu Nian naturally knew what Xiao Mobai minded, so she held his arm affectionately to express her feelings.

"I'm not afraid of you even if you run around. I will always be by your side."

The relationship between the two people has always been so harmonious because they trust and understand each other. It seems that whatever you say or do can penetrate into the other person's heart.

"Husband, I want to take this flower back and plant it in the royal garden. What do you think?"

"Of course it's fine."

Since Gu Nian wanted it, Xiao Mobai would naturally agree and began to carefully dig out the rhizome of the flower. In order not to destroy the whole flower, Xiao Mobai dug up the tree that was entangled with it and took them back together.

On the way back to Beijing, Gu Nian had been carefully caring for the flowers he brought back because he didn't know what their growth habits were. He just guessed that since it lived in a humid place, it should naturally like water.

After a month, Gu Nian finally brought Hua Ping An back to the palace. But not long after planting it in the imperial garden, the flower withered, but the tree was still alive and well.

Looking at the withered flowers, Gu Nian stood in the Imperial Garden feeling sad for a long time. No matter how Xiao Mobai comforted her, Gu Nian could only force a smile.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Mobai directly ordered someone to bring the little prince over.

Now that the little prince could walk a few steps with the help of the palace maid, he babblingly walked towards Gu Nian, and Gu Nian's attention was instantly attracted.

"Son, why are you here?"

Gu Nian opened her arms, held the little prince in her arms, and looked at Xiao Mobai.

"Did you order someone to bring him here?"

"Well, I couldn't bear to see you sad, and I didn't have the ability to comfort you, so I had to call this little guy over. I'm afraid you will feel better only when he is here."

"Thank you husband."

Gu Nian hugged the child, stood on tiptoes, and kissed the side of Xiao Mobai's face.

Xiao Mobai also realized Gu Nian's movements, bent his knees, and accommodated Gu Nian's movements.

"What are you grateful for for this little thing?"

Xiao Mobai only temporarily relieved Gu Nian's mood, and then sent a message to the Canglong brothers stationed in Lingnan, asking them to bring back some more orchids and secretly cultivate them behind Gu Nian's back.

But even if they hired the best gardeners, they couldn't keep the orchids alive. According to the gardener, the flower cannot survive here because the climate in the capital is too dry and cold.

After several twists and turns, the orchid was not finally raised, so Xiao Mobai had no choice but to give up.

However, he did build a house in a village on the border of Daliang, and the yard was filled with such orchids. When you have the opportunity, take Gu Nian over and let her see it.

For several months, everything was peaceful in Ling Nan, and the strange soil did not spread to the land in Daliang.

However, Xiao Mobai waited for the news that the messenger from Ling Nan who came to ask for help was about to arrive.

It turned out that not only Xiao Mobai was paying attention to this matter, but the emperor of Lingnan was also paying close attention to the situation in the village.

But all the people he sent failed to return. He found out that a huge Jianghu organization in Daliang went in and came out safely. However, after inquiring in many ways, he still failed to successfully contact the organization. He could only send an envoy to ask the emperor of Daliang for help, hoping that he could help contact the Jianghu organization.

Hearing the news that Gao Quan came to report, Xiao Mobai raised his eyebrows in surprise. However, he still ordered Gao Quan to prepare for the envoys to enter the palace.

"I didn't expect that the emperor of Lingnan would actually have his mind set on you. But this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Gu Nian was also very surprised when she heard the news, but she felt that she could take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits from Ling Nan.

"You're a smart little guy, you won't suffer any loss."

Gu Nian only said one sentence, and Xiao Mobai understood the meaning of her words.
