Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

In the middle of the night, a panicked boy knocked on the door of Prince Xiao Zihong's Mansion.

Soon, lights were lit in Xiao Zihong's courtyard in the palace.

"What did you say? Say it again?"

"Your Majesty, someone outside has come to report that the young master is missing."

Xiao Zihong's eyes were full of bloodshot at this time, and he yelled at the newcomers, "You are all a bunch of trash. Can't you even take care of a child?"

The servant dared not say a word and could only lower his eyes and wait for his master's orders.

"Send someone to investigate immediately. If we catch him, I will cut him into pieces." Xiao Zihong had a gloomy face and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

The servant quickly agreed, turned around and ran out of the room.

Xiao Zihong really couldn't guess who did this, and no one knew that he was the father of the child...

He walked back and forth in the room with a gloomy face, constantly thinking in his mind whether it was his father, the Xiao Zimo brothers, or the queen...

In any case, these are just his guesses.

And he really couldn't figure it out. Could it be that their secret had been leaked?

He really couldn't figure it out, so he could only go to Zhuangzi to take a look. Thinking about it, Xueer was going crazy now.

Whenever he thought of Xue'er and the child, he couldn't stop worrying about her.

I recall that when he was eight years old, he was just a prince who was a palace girl. After his mother died, he was bullied by the eunuchs and maids in the palace. He was beaten severely by the eunuchs for a plate of pastries, and he happened to be caught by Qi Xueer who followed Mrs. Qi into the palace. It was her. She stepped forward to save him and brought him to the Queen Mother, so that he was proud to let his father know that he still had such a fourth prince.

From then on, his life became better. He didn't move out of the palace until he reached adulthood and was named the Fourth Prince by his father. From that time on, he had vowed that he would...

Soon Xiao Zihong arrived at the gate of the mansion. The servant behind him led the horse closer. His thoughts were interrupted. He grabbed the reins, jumped on the horse, and ran straight towards the city gate under the moonlight.

At this moment, he couldn't care about anything else. He had already lost Xueer once before, but this time...

At this moment, his mind was in a state of confusion, and Cui Ma ran faster and faster, wishing he could fly to Xue'er immediately.

At this time, as time passed by, Qi Xueer became more and more disappointed. She sat on the ground blankly with a pair of red and swollen eyes, no matter how much the maid tried to persuade her, it was to no avail.

This was the scene Xiao Zihong saw when he arrived.

He quickly ran into the room and picked up Qi Xue'er who was on the ground, "Xue'er, I'm here..."

"Woooo...we have a child...a child..."

As he spoke, he fainted. Xiao Zihong anxiously shouted to the maid to find a doctor.

"I'll go right away, right away." The maid crawled out of the room.

Xiao Zihong carried Qi Xueer to the bed in the inner room, and carefully put her on the bed. Looking at her red and swollen eyes and half-dried hair, he felt a pain in his heart.

The emperor in the palace looked at the child in the hands of the hidden guard, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Leave the child to him." The leader of the hidden guards narrowed his eyes. Could it be that the emperor meant to take the child...

The emperor nodded slightly, then closed his eyes, turned his hand back and asked him to take the man away, and warned him never to let the child know his life experience.

"Yes!"

Soon the dormitory became quiet again.

It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. As an emperor, he was just an ordinary father and grandfather.

Although this child should not have been born, he is still of royal blood anyway, and he also knows his debt to Xiao Zihong, so he will choose to keep his bloodline alive no matter what.

The eunuch in charge beside him sighed helplessly when he saw this scene. The palace maid had the intention to climb onto the dragon bed, so the emperor was merciful by not ordering her to be killed, even though he knew nothing about the fourth prince before he was seven years old. , but although he later treated the fourth prince somewhat...

All the children in the royal family have gone through this process, just like the emperor’s sister and brother.

Everyone on Xiao Zihong's side was busy all night but no trace was found. Qi Xueer's heart collapsed a little bit at this time. She ran out of the yard and ran towards the well in the backyard like a madman, saying that she didn't want to live anymore after her child was lost. .

Fortunately, Xiao Zihong was always by his side and he was able to hold him back.

The maid on the side shed tears silently. Everyone in Zhuangzi was punished today, and many people disappeared inexplicably. The maid was also trembling in her heart at this time, for fear that Grandpa Wang would kill her and silence her.

Xiao Zihong has always been by Qi Xueer's side, taking care of her, and has no time to care about anything else.

The two days continued like this for five days. Seventeen of the princes in the capital came to Zhuangzi and reported that the third princess of Xiao Zihong, Shang Yuguo, had arrived in the capital. This time, Prince Xiao and the princess were also accompanying them.

Qi Xueer said sickly and asked him to deal with anything first.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon. You can't let your imagination run wild anymore. Otherwise, when the child comes back, you will..."

Xiao Zihong seemed to have given all his patience to Qi Xueer, coaxing him softly until she nodded in agreement.

After Xiao Zihong left, Qi Xueer had been sitting on the bed with empty eyes, neither eating nor drinking. She even ignored the maid talking to her.

The servants in the yard were nervous for a while, thinking of ways to make fresh food and bring it into the house, but they were all sent out intact. At this time, everyone was trembling for fear that the prince would punish him when he came back.

Xiao Zihong returned to the capital from Zhuangzi and entered the palace.

At this time, the emperor, Prince Rui, Prince Yi, Prime Minister Chu Haochen and others were discussing in the Qingxuan Palace. When Xiao Zihong arrived, he happened to see the emperor and Xiao Zimo talking and laughing, and the anger in his heart was immediately ignited again.

"Oh, my brother has arrived a long time ago. It seems that my brother is still very concerned about this marriage?"

Prince Rui glanced at Xiao Zihong, smiled coldly and asked, "Since Brother Four Emperors don't care, let me let my father give this opportunity to others."

Xiao Zihong paused, a sinister light flashed in his eyes, and turned around to salute his father.

"Okay, sit down."

Chu Haochen and Xiao Ziyi looked at each other and understood what was going on. Chu Haochen suddenly remembered last night that the Fourth Prince's figure was similar to that of Master Yu in the Qingyun Kingdom's palace...

Moreover, according to the news they had received from Xiao Zimo before, the troops stationed in the valley had been captured. They did not expect that there were as many as 18,000 people there, although only 10,000 could go to the battlefield.

The few of them looked at whether Xiao Zihong would be mad if he knew about this.

Listening to what the previous emperor explained, several people nodded in response with serious expressions.

In the end, the important task of accompanying the three princesses and their group to appreciate the customs and customs of the capital fell on Xiao Zihong.
