Hearing this voice, Xu Mingyi let go of Wu Chao's hand and turned to look at him with a hint of gesture.
Wu Chao stood up from the corridor.
Wu Jingming saw this and walked over.
"A Yuan——" Looking at the boy in front of him who was taller than himself, Wu Jingming said: "Go up."
He has basically said what needs to be said just now. Now, perhaps it is time for A Yuan and the prince to talk alone.
Wu Chao nodded and subconsciously looked back at Xu Mingyi.
The girl nodded to him: "Go."
Only then did Wu Chao leave the backyard.
"What happened today is really rude. I hope Uncle Wu can forgive me." Xu Mingyi said in an apologetic tone.
She had just thought about it, eavesdropping on this matter was a personal matter that Wu Chao could do, but she couldn't. It was just that at that time, she only wanted to find out the truth and did not think carefully.
Wu Jingming shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "It doesn't matter."
Anyway, he could see that A Yuan must have dragged the girl to do this. His son was messing around, so he couldn't really blame the girl.
"It's just that this matter is very important, and it's not yet time to make it public, so I hope Miss Xu can help keep it a secret."
"Don't worry, I won't reveal even a single word to anyone."
The girl was obviously young. The guarantees given by a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old were often doubtful, but looking at the girl's clear eyes, Wu Jingming actually felt relieved.
Feeling relieved, Prince Wu couldn't help but want to ask a few more questions...
For example, between Miss Xu and A Yuan...
But after thinking about it, I realized it wasn’t suitable after all.
Let's ask our boy later. He is an elder. What does it sound like to ask a little girl something like this?
"It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore." Xu Mingyi saluted and said, "I'd like to thank Uncle Wu and tell Wu Shisun when the time comes. I will go back first."
Wu Jingming nodded and thought: "It's too late now. It's probably not safe for Miss Xu to go back alone..."
Xu Mingyi felt that this was true.
If anyone meets her, that person will indeed be unsafe.
"I'll have someone take Miss Xu back."
Seeing the girl opening her mouth as if to refuse, Wu Jingming smiled and said: "Send it to your residence and come back, no one will notice."
With that said, he ordered the guys behind him to pick two skilled secret guards to come over.
As for why he didn’t even shy away from sending secret guards to the little girl in front of him——
He generally understood that A Yuan did not hide everything from this girl. In a passive sense, he no longer had to see this girl...
It was difficult to refuse the elder's kindness, so Xu Mingyi stopped making any further excuses. After thanking Prince Wu, he left the place under the escort of two secret guards.
In the elegant room on the second floor, King Yan had already sat up. After tidying up his robes, he sat on the edge of the couch with a fairly upright figure. He raised his hand to signal the young man who walked in: "...sit down."
Wu Chao sat down in the chair by the window. The two of them faced each other. The fingers of King Yan's hands on his legs were curled up and released, and his eyes were a little uncomfortable.
He wanted to say something.
But I really don’t know what to say best.
He has no experience in getting along with his son. If the child is still young, he can just take him to the street and buy ten or eight packs of candy. There is always a way to make people happy, but the key point is that this child can no longer be called a child.
It was Wu Chao who broke the slightly awkward silence first.
"Your Majesty—" Wu Chao started, and after blurting out the title, he suddenly paused, and his face was obviously slightly uncomfortable.
"It doesn't matter." King Yan finally seemed to know what to say and said quickly: "Just shout like this first... to avoid accidentally shouting in front of outsiders."
So, there should be no problem, right?
"Since the prince suffers from a heart disease, why doesn't he carry the Baoxin Pill with him?"
King Yan didn't expect this to be the first thing he heard, but he immediately replied: "I always carry it with me. I just forgot about it because I went out in the middle of the night and changed my clothes in a hurry."
"It's such an important matter, and the prince knows the purpose of this trip, so he should be personally prepared in case of any eventuality——"
When Xiao Qi went to get the medicine just now, he had already heard from Zhao Zhao that the disease was serious and could even be life-threatening.
After hearing this, King Yan was silent for a moment.
Is this what it feels like when I am being controlled by my son?
Needless to say, I feel really comfortable in my heart...
King Yan nodded and said: "I will definitely remember it next time, and I will never forget it again."
Next, he still has a lot to do. This life must be cherished and used. At least, he must use it to fulfill his duties as a father...
Thinking of his dereliction of duty over the years, King Yan couldn't help but ask: "How has it been...in the Wu family these years?"
In fact, there is no need to ask more questions about the answer to this question, he already knows it.
The moment he saw this child, he knew that the Wu family was very attentive to his upbringing. Even if they really kept people by his side these years, they might not be as good as they are now.
"Everything is fine." Wu Chao replied.
"That's good……"
King Yan asked again: "What do you like to do in your daily life?"
"Reading, playing chess, practicing sword riding, riding and shooting."
"That's right." King Yan nodded approvingly, looked at the young man's robe, raised his arm, and said: "You also like dark colors? Xuanqing? I have been accustomed to wearing such colors since I was young.
Already."
Wu Chao lowered his eyes and took a look at his robe. It was indeed very close to the color worn by King Yan... so he nodded.
King Yan then asked: "What do you like to eat?"
Wu Chao thought for a while and said: "...a lot."
King Yan nodded in approval again: "It's good not to be picky."
"..." Wu Chao didn't quite understand what was worthy of praise in this - if you put it this way, isn't it also something worthy of praise that he is so good at breathing?
Then, the other party asked: "Who came up with the small character A Yuan?"
"Taken by my grandfather."
——Is it also "very good"?
As expected, King Yan showed his approval again: "Very good. The name Wu Chao is also very good."
Wu Chao was silent.
This time I even praised two of them at once.
Just when the other party was about to speak again, he said calmly and honestly: "If the prince doesn't know what to say for a moment, there is no need to speak in a hurry."
In any case, just do as you please, but there is no need to be so intentional about getting along with him.
Even in this deliberateness, it is obvious that there is an elder's clumsy intention to please.
But the man in front of him didn't owe him anything.
When King Yan heard this, he smiled sarcastically at first, and then the smile gradually faded and became filled with complicated emotions.
