When Xiao Chengyi and Mu Yun'an arrived, Xiao Jue and others were already waiting. Mu Yun'an got out of the car and walked towards them.
But she didn't see Xiao Yunchu, so she asked curiously: "Where is Chu Chu?"
Xiao Jue's face was livid and he said angrily: "On the way here, she said she forgot to buy something, so she ran away on horseback. This girl has been spoiled by me. I will take good care of her when she comes back."
Mu Yunan: "..."
She knew that Chu Chu was good at Kung Fu, so she wasn't worried. She wouldn't have wanted to leave. After all, the capital city of Beichen was very prosperous, with countless delicious food and fun.
Mu Yun'an didn't think much, got on the carriage and went to say goodbye to Mu Xuechu.
However, Xiao Chengyi was a little dissatisfied and said: "She said she was going shopping, so you let her go? It's not like you don't know that your sister is so bold, so aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble again?"
Xiao Jue was speechless for a moment after being scolded by him. He stretched out his hand to summon one of his subordinates and said, "Go to the city to find the princess and bring her back."
The subordinate bowed his fist and turned to leave.
Xiao Chengyi asked very puzzledly: "She is running around alone in Beichen's capital. As an elder brother, you can rest assured?"
Xiao Jue said: "Chu Chu is not a child, and she has been wild since she was a child. When she was in Nanyue, she often did not return to the palace, and her father did not say anything."
Xiao Chengyi's lips twitched, and he frowned and asked, "Uncle, is this how he taught you?"
Xiao Jue said: "My father has been training us brothers and sisters since we were young, so that we have the ability to protect ourselves. He said that when we are born into the royal family, we will face many dangers. It is better to rely on ourselves than to rely on others."
Although Xiao Chengyi agreed with this, he still found it a bit incredible. He didn't know what his uncle had gone through to polish his children like this.
He asked curiously: "How many brothers and sisters do you have?"
Xiao Jue said: "My father was famous for his romantic nature before he ascended the throne. He had countless concubines and heirs in his house. After he ascended the throne, he didn't add anyone. Even so, I have five younger brothers.
My sister has six."
Xiao Chengyi was a little stunned. He frowned and asked, "Then your younger brothers and sisters are the same as you?"
Xiao Jue shook his head: "No, they were all raised pampered and have not suffered much." After a pause, he said again: "Don't worry, my father raised my younger brothers like trash and treated me
No threat."
Xiao Chengyi didn't think so. He advised: "Having said that, you can't let down your guard. If I guess correctly, the reason why my uncle was able to stand out in the civil strife was thanks to his romantic reputation, which made people think that he was a
Waste is insignificant, am I right?"
Xiao Jue's brows twitched, then nodded: "That's true. Grandpa is the youngest son of Taizu. He is deeply loved by Taizu and even intends to pass the throne to him.
However, in the end, he was assassinated by an adulterer, leaving only his father and his aunt to depend on each other. His father knew his situation, so he kept a low profile and endured it all the time, surrounded by tigers and wolves.
During the Seven Kings Rebellion, my father finally broke out of the siege and won this kingdom, which no one expected. Everyone thought he was just a romantic waste.
I don’t know that when my grandfather was assassinated, my father secretly determined to avenge his father. At that time, he was only twelve years old, and my father’s biggest regret in his life was that he could not protect his aunt.”
Xiao Chengyi didn't know much about Nanyue's past. Now that Xiao Jue mentioned it, he realized how difficult it was for his uncle and mother to live in Nanyue.
If not for the civil strife, his mother would not have ended up living in Beichen and finally married his father.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a hurried voice coming from behind: "Master, my subordinates only found Her Royal Highness the Princess's horse in the city, but there was no one looking for her."
The person who came was the person Xiao Jue sent to find Xiao Yunchu.
