Chapter 1406: Prince Li's Extra: The Person Is Missing

The emperor's visit to Concubine Xu's bedroom again was beyond everyone's expectations in the palace, and it would certainly cause a stir in the harem, but these stirs were destined to have nothing to do with Canyang Palace.

On the way back to Canyang Palace, Jinxuan kept shouting for candied haws, but Ah Man ignored him with a cold face. When they were about to reach Canyang Palace, Su Jinxuan burst into tears.

She was young and didn't understand the twists and turns in the adult world. She was just greedy for the delicious candied haws. Seeing that Canyang Palace was right in front of her, she could no longer eat the candied haws she had been thinking about, so she cried particularly sadly.

"Xuan'er, be obedient. When you return to the palace, sister will make it for you." Xuan'er has always been very obedient. It's rare that she is so obsessed with one thing and cries when she can't get it. So facing Xuan'er's crying, Ah Man was a little at a loss, but still insisted on holding Xuan'er and walked straight towards Canyang Palace.

She would not take Xuan'er back to Concubine Xu's palace. Her pride would not allow it. She was even more unwilling to see her father and Concubine Xu in love. So, no matter how much Xuan'er made a fuss, she was not prepared to compromise.

"Imperial sister, imperial sister, I want to eat candied haws. Aunt Xu's candied haws are delicious. They are as delicious as those made by my mother."

Xuan'er struggled in Ah Man's arms, tears falling down. He shouted hoarsely as if he could get what he wanted as long as he shouted louder.

What Xuan'er didn't know was that the size of his voice had little effect on Ah Man, but the words he struggled to say pierced Ah Man's heart.

He said that Aunt Xu's candied haws were as delicious as those made by her mother.

She never thought that Xuan'er, who was still young, liked candied haws only because they looked like those made by her mother. He was remembering his mother through candied haws.

Ah Man always thought Xuan'er was still a child, but she didn't expect...

"Xuan'er, be good. If you want to eat candied haws, I'll make them for you. If you miss mother, I'll take you to see them."

Ah Man couldn't control her tears when she said this. She had been deceiving herself and telling herself that Xuan'er was still young and that her longing and attachment to her mother would soon fade away. However, she didn't expect that her mother had already been imprinted in Xuan'er's heart.

"Mother, sister, I want mother, I want mother, I want mother to make candied haws for me." Xuan'er lay on Ah Man's shoulder, more obedient than ever before, as if the struggling and noisy child just now was not her.

"Xuan'er, be obedient. Sister can also make candied haws, and they are as delicious as mother's. Let's make them when we return to the palace, okay?"

Ah Man gently patted Xuan'er's back and comforted her softly. What came to her mind was Murong Kai's frank statement that he could make candied haws. He should be able to coax Xuan'er, right?

But Ah Man didn't expect that when she brought Xuan'er to Canyang Palace, Murong Xuan was gone.

"Where is Xiao Yuanzi?" Ah Man asked Lian Huan anxiously who was waiting for her at the door. Usually, Murong Kai would wait for her at the door wherever she went alone.

When asking, Ah Man also regretted that what she said to Murong Kai before was too serious.

Lian Huan looked at Ah Man in embarrassment, not knowing how to answer, while Xuan'er was still mumbling about candied haws in her heart.

"The candied haws are ready, Your Highness, let's go to the palace to eat candied haws."

After Lian Huan finished speaking, she raised her hand to take Xuan'er, hugged her and hurriedly walked towards the palace. Ah Man, who didn't get an answer, was confused in his heart, but didn't say anything, and followed Lian Huan into the palace.

What Ah Man didn't expect was that when he entered the palace, he didn't see Murong Kai. He asked a few people, and those people all looked embarrassed and didn't say much.

Xuan'er, who was already sitting at the round table eating candied haws, had his eyes shining. Seeing Ah Man looking at him, he excitedly said that it was delicious.
