Chapter 37 Li Chengqian: Are you really my biological father?
The three of them took turns tasting all the food on the table and found that each kind of fruit and snack had its own unique flavor, which made Chang Le and Cheng Yang exclaim in surprise.
Amidst the playful commotion, an hour quickly passed, and Chang Le noticed that Xiao Si Zi had yawned several times.
"Sizi, are you sleepy? Why don't you go take a nap?"
Most children are like this; they get sleepy after eating, and my little brother had always had the habit of taking a nap.
"Okay! Then I'll go take a nap first." Xiao Si rubbed her eyes, got up and walked towards the bed, not forgetting to pick up the small fan Lin Fan had bought for her along the way.
Before long, Chang Le had settled Xiao Si Zi in and placed the small fan on the bedside table after turning the fan speed to the lowest setting.
After doing all this, Chang Le led Cheng Yang out of the main hall, instructing people to take the leftover snacks and fruit.
"Mingyue, Qiuxia, you two take good care of Xiaosizi. If... if you find that Xiaosizi has disappeared again, don't panic. Just report it immediately, understand?"
"This servant will heed Your Highness's instructions!"
After watching Chang Le and Cheng Yang walk away into the distance, Qiu Xia patted her chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.
So much has happened in the last two days; it's fair to say I've been on the verge of death several times.
"Sister Mingyue! Tell me, was our prince really taken away by some deity? Or—?" Qiuxia asked, her face filled with terror.
"Shut up right now, or you'll get yourself into trouble. Our prince is so adorable, isn't it normal for a deity to like him? Stop being so paranoid!"
"Okay, okay, I won't tell, but please don't hit my head! Mother said hitting my head too much will make me stupid!"
Qiuxia looked at Mingyue with a wronged expression, but wisely kept her mouth shut.
"Will you learn your lesson if I don't hit you? Remember, you're not allowed to say those kinds of things in front of others again, understand?"
"Okay!" Qiu Xia didn't dare to say anything more.
Mingyue had a serious expression on her face. Clearly, she was not as simple-minded as Qiuxia. She looked around to make sure no one had heard the conversation before returning to the hall.
"Brother Lin Fan, do you really want this ice cream?"
Little Sizi, who had just fallen asleep and was still a little drowsy, seemed to see Lin Fan walking up to her with several ice creams, mumbling in his sleep, and waving his little hands unconsciously under the blanket.
"Qiuxia, let me tidy up the desk. Go check if the young prince is sleeping soundly!"
Mingyue looked at the somewhat messy table and gave instructions while tidying it up.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xia walked towards the bed. Chang Le had turned on the small fan and lowered the bed curtains when she left. When Qiu Xia carefully lifted the curtains, she saw that there was only a small blanket and a strange object on the bed. There was no trace of the little princess!
"His Highness—His Highness is gone again!"
Mingyue, who was tidying up outside, suddenly heard Qiuxia's exclamation. Her heart skipped a beat, and she dropped what she was doing and ran inside.
"What happened?"
"His Highness has disappeared again!" Qiu Xia pointed to the bed, trembling.
Upon seeing this, Mingyue drew back the bed curtains, and indeed, it was just as Qiuxia had said.
"Don't be afraid, you stay here and keep watch, I'll go report!"
Remembering Chang Le's previous instructions, Mingyue was no longer as afraid as before. She had no time to pay attention to Qiuxia and turned to run out of the palace.
"Ouch!"
Because she was running very fast and didn't look up, she bumped into someone as soon as she reached the door and fell to the ground with a thud.
Before I could even look up, I heard a shrill voice.
"How dare you! How dare you offend His Highness the Crown Prince! Are you blind as a bat!"
The newcomer was none other than Li Chengqian, the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. Upon hearing the eunuch's threats, he quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was unharmed.
Upon hearing this, Mingyue on the ground widened her eyes instantly. Looking up, she saw a handsome young man gently rubbing his chest with a slight frown.
"This servant greets Your Highness! I was flustered just now and did not notice you. Please forgive me!"
Hearing the commotion outside, Qiuxia immediately ran out of the hall. Seeing Mingyue kneeling at the door, she also knelt down.
"It's alright! What's wrong that you're so panicked? By the way, where's Sizi?"
Today, a palace attendant brought several strange but delicious dishes and told him that they were sent by Prince Jinyang. Li Chengqian thought that he hadn't visited his younger sister for several days, so he decided to come and visit her since he had some free time today. However, he didn't expect to be bumped into by someone as soon as he arrived at the door.
"Your Highness, the young prince is not currently in the palace!"
"Oh, did you go to see your mother?"
Li Chengqian was a little puzzled. Usually, Xiao Sizi wouldn't go out at this time, since the weather was so hot and it wasn't suitable for her to go out.
"Your Highness, the young prince did not go to see the Empress! Actually—actually, the young prince was just here, but now..."
It's suddenly disappeared again!
"What do you mean by 'it was here just now, and now it's suddenly gone'?" Li Chengqian frowned, his mind still reeling.
"What this servant means is, Your Highness, you've gone missing again!"
Mingyue's voice was already tinged with tears. Although this was not the first time it had happened, Li Chengqian was unaware of the matter and did not notice the word "again".
"What! You mean to say! Little Sizi is missing?" Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes instantly turned red, and his expression became ferocious.
Seeing Mingyue nod fearfully, Li Chengqian was so angry he almost jumped up. He quickly bypassed the two and rushed into the hall.
They quickly searched the hall, but couldn't find any trace of Xiao Sizi.
"Guards, seize these two! This matter is of utmost importance; I must go to see my father immediately. You all stay here and guard this place; do not let either of them leave!"
After giving his instructions, Li Chengqian strode towards the Taiji Hall, not daring to stop for a moment.
Mingyue and Qiuxia had no way to express their suffering, and could only hope that His Majesty and the Princess would arrive soon, otherwise their lives might be in danger.
Li Chengqian ran wildly all the way. After all, he was the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, and no one dared to stop him along the way. Before long, he arrived outside the Taiji Hall, panting heavily.
Inside the hall, Li Shimin was engrossed in processing memorials when he saw something that made him so agitated that he threw the memorials he was holding away.
"It's been almost a month since the floods in Jiangnan Province, and the reports on the disaster are only being submitted now. They're utterly useless!"
"Father—Father Emperor—something terrible has happened! Ah!"
Before Li Chengqian could finish speaking, something hit him in the face.
"Oh, it's Chengqian! I see you're in such a hurry, I wonder what's the matter?" He automatically ignored the incident of throwing away the memorial earlier.
"Reporting to Father Emperor, Si-Si Zi has gone missing!"
"Oh, they've disappeared again so quickly?"
Li Chengqian was extremely anxious. He had thought his father would fly into a rage upon hearing the news, but what did he just hear?
What the hell do you mean by "So fast? Missing again?" Is this something a father would say in this situation?
Li Chengqian really wanted to unleash a string of curses.
"Father, what do you mean by 'disappeared again'? Also, I have had my brother's maid detained and Hanfeng Palace sealed off, but I still need your order to immediately seal off the palace or Chang'an city to find the thief—!"
"Alright, I understand. Chengqian, you don't need to worry about this. I know what I'm doing. Release everyone first, and there's no need to seal off Hanfeng Palace."
Li Chengqian never dreamed that Li Shimin would have no reaction at all when he learned that Xiao Sizi had gone missing, and even asked him to release him. He felt extremely frustrated.
At this moment, he really wanted to ask Li Shimin: "Is Xiao Sizi really your biological son?"
