Chapter 317

The old lady of He Mansion, upon hearing that her grandson had gone missing, had just been rescued and sent back when she already fainted; the lady of He Mansion also fainted.

Now only the He elder remains in charge.

The He elder came over and knelt before Prince Qi.

Prince Qi didn't feel that; he actually felt a bit ashamed to accept this ceremony.

After all, if it weren't for him listening to the obedient one's words at that time, moving his thoughts, letting Sui Si go cause a ruckus with the City Guard, letting the other side reveal their weakness, who would have thought a small child would be tied under the carriage and taken out of He Mansion?

Jing Cheng is not under martial law, so the City Guard's checks are not particularly strict.

Especially when returning to the city, Prince Qi heard that the carriage claimed there was an unmarried young lady on board, it was inconvenient to show themselves more, and they had slipped some silver as an excuse, so they didn't let the City Guard do a more thorough check.

Because the City Guard didn't check carefully, they also didn't notice that they were bringing a child.

While Prince Qi was pondering, he received a great ceremony from the He elder.

However, he quickly stepped forward and lightly supported the person: "It was just a coincidence that I happened upon this; anyone couldn't just ignore it."

Of course, without his obedient one, ordinary people couldn't have noticed this! His obedient one is indeed amazing!

Thinking of these, Prince Qi couldn't help but proudly lift his chin slightly.

Because he wasn't sure who had abducted the young master of He Mansion, Prince Qi also didn't dare to speak in detail about how he discovered the young master's situation, and he certainly didn't reveal anything about Sui Sui.

He thought, what if those people still had accomplices or a backup plan? If he revealed his obedient one now, wouldn't that bring trouble upon his obedient one? As an adult, he doesn't fear scheming.

But his obedient one is still young; for now he won't say anything, and will see how things develop later.

The He elder didn't know; he only knew that his most beloved little grandson had almost been kidnapped.

What's the difference between this and taking his life? After the He elder got up, he covered his face and burst into wailing sobs.

Prince Qi:

Ah this!

He really doesn't know how to coax people.

He helplessly glanced at Master Shen.

Master Shen stroked his beard and said nothing.

He then glanced at Liu Dafu…

Oh, right, Liu Dafu helped send the child to the rear courtyard.

In the end, Prince Qi had no choice; he stepped forward two steps, spoke a few comforting words, and managed to console the He elder.

The He elder wanted to hold a banquet to express thanks, but Prince Qi declined, saying that his Princess Consort and the children were waiting at the gate, they still needed to return to the Residence, and tomorrow they still had to go to Lanruo Si to fulfill a vow.

Going to Lanruo Si to fulfill a vow is indeed important.

The He elder couldn't stay longer; he could only gratefully grasp Prince Qi's hand: "Your life-saving kindness cannot be repaid in words; when the Prince returns to the Residence, this old official will surely come to the door to express thanks, to express thanks!"

Hearing those words, Prince Qi felt relieved in his heart.

He was scared to death!

Just now he still thought that the He elder was over-excited, wanting to offer himself in marriage, which frightened Prince Qi into wondering how to politely yet properly refuse so as not to make the He elder burst into wailing sobs.

Fortunately, fortunately.

The He elder thanked for a long time, then presented two boxes of gifts, and only then saw Prince Qi off from the residence.

At this moment, Sui Sui was nestled in the Mother Consort's arms, anxiously whispering: "Will the little brother be alright?"

Sui Sui thought, that little brother is truly pitiful.

Tied onto the carriage.

Moreover, he was tied face down; who knows what state he'd be in if he were awake and saw that.

Sui Sui had suffered before, so he naturally knows that bitterness is not tasty.

If life could be sweet, who would want to endure bitterness?

Princess Consort of Qi didn't want the child to be afraid; she gently rubbed Sui Sui's back while softly saying: "It'll be fine, Liu Ye Ye is examining him, Liu Ye Ye is very capable, he'll surely be fine, and moreover the little brother's family has many capable people."

The Princess Consort of Qi also didn't expect that the rescued child was from He Mansion. She thought, she had never heard of severe internal strife in the He Mansion's inner quarters; how could this child have been tied up? It's really strange! Not understanding, she simply stopped thinking about it and focused on comforting Sui Sui.

The little girl didn't understand; at times she worried about the little brother, at times she touched her own flat belly and murmured that she was a bit hungry.

There were still snacks on the carriage; the Princess Consort took them out and let Sui Sui eat two pieces to fill his stomach a little.

Feng Xuanrui and the others were in the carriage behind, engaged in a heated discussion.

"I'm even more capable!"

"Obviously Master Shen is more capable!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Liu Dafu is the most capable!"

"Those two arrows whooshed out, so impressive! I want to be that capable in the future too!"

……

Although the young masters were also worried about He Mansion's little master, what they saw more of was Master Shen's brave bearing and Liu Dafu's miraculous two arrows.

The little masters were full of envy, wishing they could personally go onto the field to practice.

Unfortunately, they didn't manage to do it.

Shen Hua Tang and Liu He Meng also weren't entirely at ease; at this moment Aunt Qiu was guarding them, afraid the two children would be scared, and Aunt Qiu also soothed them with a smile.

The two children weren't actually that frightened; they were just a bit worried about He Mansion's little master's situation.

Now that the Prince hasn't come out, they also aren't clear about what's happening inside.

Fortunately, after waiting a while, Prince Qi came out, and everyone could also breathe a sigh of relief.

Prince Qi also knew that everyone might still be worried about He Mansion's little master, so he smiled and nodded: "It's fine, it's fine, he's already awake and eating."

Liu Dafu used medicine to fumigate the child awake; at the moment the person is still dazed, lacking energy.

But he's already crying out that he's hungry, scared; having a reaction is good enough.

The people in the Residence were in a flurry of activity; Prince Qi took the opportunity to take his leave.

Otherwise, he feared that Elder He would again take his hand and cry.

Everyone quickly set out again, returning to Qi Wang Fu.

After the Prince got back into the carriage, he brought Sui Sui over and gently kissed the little girl's forehead: "Father King's good child, you truly are Father King's Lucky Star!"

Actually, the Prince didn't really care about the He Mansion's thanks, or keeping track of favors.

He simply enjoyed the feeling of having his face lifted up.

"Who wouldn't want to show off when they have glory on their face?" Princess Consort of Qi watched from the side, somewhat worried: "... Who tied up the child? Have you found out who it was?"

After hearing that, the Prince shook his head: "For now we don't know; we'll find out after they interrogate over there, and later I'll send someone to ask."

The Princess Consort of Qi nodded after hearing that.

Seeing she still had worry on her face, the Prince smiled: "Princess Consort, just relax; with so many people in our residence, could we possibly fail to protect a good child? Don't worry about things!"

Princess Consort of Qi, however, wanted not to be afraid.

But, those people's methods...

It seems they do have some.

Even the young master of the He Mansion could be silently abducted.

Throughout the entire mansion, not a single person noticed.

If it weren't for them happening to run into each other, if it weren't for Sui Sui seeing...

By the time they discovered it, that child would probably have been tens of li outside the city; then, how could they hope to find the child?

Where would they go to look? However, the Prince said, the Princess Consort of Qi also couldn't well refute.

She thought, lately she really needed to keep a good watch on the child!

Second watch
