Quick Travel, Miao Miao’s Villain Cannon Fodder Rescue Plan

Chapter 585 The Little Princess Who Depends on the Imperial Concubine in the World of Palace Fightin

Feeling the little hand in her palm tremble suddenly, Xia Rulan looked down and found that Miaomiao's face was pale and her round eyes were full of anxiety.

"What's wrong Miaomiao?"

Xia Rulan followed Miaomiao's gaze.

The fifth prince Xiao Yan was standing in the shadow of the corridor pillar, staring at Miaomiao with a pair of sinister eyes and a sneer on his lips that was not in line with his age.

That gaze was like the tongue of a poisonous snake, wrapping around him stickily and coldly.

Xia Rulan's heart skipped a beat. She immediately hugged Miaomiao into her arms and blocked her view with her sleeves: "Don't be afraid, your cousin is here."

Miaomiao buried her face in her waist, her hands tightly clutching her belt, and said in a muffled voice: "Fifth Brother...why are you looking at me like that?"

Xia Rulan didn't answer, but patted her back soothingly, looking around vigilantly.

In Yongshou Palace, Xia Rulan frowned and told her aunt everything that happened in the afternoon.

Upon hearing this, Xia Yingying paused slightly while arranging flowers, and with a "click", she used the golden scissors to cut off an extra crabapple flower.

She sneered: "I know."

She put down the scissors, bent down and held her daughter on her lap: "Miao Miao, remember, stay away from your fifth brother from now on, okay?"

"Why?" The little dumpling tilted his head, his eyes full of confusion.

Xia Yingying stroked her soft hair and avoided the question: "Just remember what mother said."

She didn't want to talk about these complicated things with the little one.

Miaomiao pouted. Although she didn't understand, she nodded obediently: "Yes, Miaomiao will be obedient."

Looking at her daughter's confused look, a hint of coldness flashed in Xia Yingying's eyes.

"Rulan, you should be more careful in the future and don't get close to the Fifth Prince."

She was worried that Concubine Rong would vent her anger on Rulan.

Xia Rulan nodded, "Okay, aunt."

Lunch was served quickly, and it was all Miaomiao and Xia Rulan’s favorite dishes.

The two little guys were full and soon felt sleepy. Xia Yingying raised her hand and asked the palace maid to take the two children to take a nap.

The afternoon sun filtered through the gauze curtains, casting dappled shadows on the bedroom floor. Xia Yingying stood by the bed, quietly watching the two little girls sleeping in each other's arms.

Miaomiao clung to Xia Rulan like a little sloth, her chubby face flushed from sleep, with a little shiny saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth; Xia Rulan gently hugged her little cousin, maintaining a protective posture even in her sleep.

The two sisters look very happy.

Xia Yingying's eyes softened unconsciously.

She gently pulled the quilt over to cover the two little ones' exposed feet, then turned and walked out of the inner hall.

"Mother Song."

Nanny Song, who was guarding the door, immediately stepped forward and asked, "Madam?"

"Call Xiao Qingzi over."

Xia Yingying stood in the corridor, the tenderness in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by coldness.

After a while.

Nanny Song came back, followed by Xiao Qingzi: "Madam, Xiao Qingzi is here."

Xiao Qingzi stood at the bottom of the steps with his head bowed, his attitude respectful, but it couldn't hide the sharpness in his bones.

Xia Yingying looked at him - this young eunuch seemed docile, but there was a bottomless undercurrent in his eyes.

"Do you know why you were called here?" Xia Yingying went straight to the point.

Xiao Qingzi shook his head: "My servant is dull, please explain clearly, Madam."

Xia Yingying tapped the railing with her fingertips: "From today on, you will stay by Miaomiao's side and never leave her side."

Xiao Qingzi suddenly looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Especially..." Xia Yingying narrowed her eyes, "Be on guard against the Fifth Prince and make sure Miaomiao doesn't get hurt."

The wind blew through the courtyard, and a fallen leaf swirled and landed between the two of them.

Xiao Qingzi slowly knelt down and said in a low but firm voice, "I guarantee with my life that I will never let the young master get hurt in the slightest."

Xia Yingying stared at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

She asked her brother to investigate the matter of Rongpin's father and brother being exposed, and later she traced the clues to Xiao Qingzi.

She was indeed very curious.

Xiao Qingzi's back stiffened.

"Forget it." Seeing this, Xia Yingying waved her hand, "I don't care about your past, as long as you are loyal to Miaomiao."

"Just be careful next time and don't reveal your true identity."

If she hadn't asked her brother to erase all traces of the Rong father and son's affair, the emperor would have probably already traced it back to him.

She turned and looked in the direction of Jingxin Garden, muttering to herself: "Rongpin, you'd better behave yourself..."

On the way to the Shangshufang, Miaomiao skipped and jumped in front, and the pearl flowers on her bun swayed with her movements.

She turned around from time to time and waved to Xiao Qingzi behind her: "Xiao Qingzi, hurry up!"

The little guy is very excited now.

Xia Rulan took her hand and said with a smile, "Are you so happy?"

"Of course!" Miaomiao's eyes sparkled. "Xiao Qingzi is amazing! He can weave little dragonflies and perform magic tricks!"

The little guy couldn't believe it. His mother actually said today that she would let Xiao Qingzi follow her from now on.

Xiao Qingzi followed three steps away and raised the corners of his lips slightly when he heard the words.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing behind the rockery out of the corner of his eye - the Fifth Prince was staring at this side coldly.

"My dear young master," Xiao Qingzi took two steps forward, seemingly unintentionally blocking Miaomiao's side. "I've just made a straw rabbit. Would you like to play with it after school?"

"Really?" Miaomiao tugged at his sleeve in surprise, "Can't I watch it now?"

Xiao Qingzi glanced at the rockery—the Fifth Prince had disappeared. He said softly, "I'm not done yet. I need to add another pair of long ears."

Xia Rulan glanced thoughtfully at the rockery and brought Miaomiao closer to her: "Let's go, we're going to be late."

The fifth prince stood in the shadow of the corridor, looking coldly at Miaomiao and her group who were laughing and playing in the distance.

"Your Highness," a young eunuch whispered, "Empress Rong has asked you to go to Jingxin Garden tonight."

The fifth prince clenched his fists, digging his nails deep into his palms.

Of course he knew what his mother was going to say - something like "you must strive for honor" and "you must take revenge".

But when his eyes fell on Miaomiao's bright smile, a nameless anger suddenly rose in his heart.

Why?

Why was this wild girl able to live so happily? Why was she favored by my father? Why...did my mother have to suffer?

"Tell Mother I'll be there." He turned and left, his voice too cold to be a child's. "By the way, ask Aunt Zhang to take my pet, Little Flower, with you."

The young eunuch shuddered - the snake called "Xiaohua" was a highly poisonous red-banded snake.
