Chapter 438 What Did I Want to Say?

"Ah Xuan, Sister Yu'er."

"Take a look at this."

After listening to Li Xuan and Yu'er's thoughts on Chai Rongrong's visit today, Princess Ankang smiled and took out a note from her sleeve.

The note was written in a beautiful handwriting.

"The carriage that Your Highness was given at the Chongyang Banquet was the exclusive carriage of Concubine Xiao in the past."

Li Xuan frowned when he saw the note.

He didn't even notice when Chai Rongrong handed the note to Princess Ankang.

Chai Rongrong had no cultivation, and Li Xuan didn't care about this woman at first, but he didn't expect to underestimate her.

Yu'er's eyes widened and confirmed: "Your Highness, is this true?"

"This note was handed to me by Chai Rongrong when we parted just now." Princess Ankang replied.

"Since she is an old friend of my mother, there is no need for her to lie to me about this matter."

"Besides, you can just ask the old people in the palace to confirm this matter."

Princess Ankang said, but her eyes turned to Li Xuan and asked, "You said so, right? Ah Xuan?"

Hearing Princess Ankang's tone, Li Xuan secretly said that it was bad.

But before he could find a chance to run away, Princess Ankang grabbed his neck skin and put her little face in front of Li Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, tell me!"

"Did you know something a long time ago?"

Li Xuan didn't expect the little girl to react so quickly, and he immediately pouted his lips in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this reaction, Princess Ankang immediately confirmed her answer and said unhappily:

"Well, I said that you, a little cat, were not surprised at all after reading the note!"

"Tell me, why did you hide it from me?"

Princess Ankang rubbed Li Xuan's cat head mercilessly and asked a while.

Li Xuan remained silent, allowing Princess Ankang to do whatever she wanted.

"Ah Xuan knew it a long time ago?"

"No way?"

Yu'er was confused.

"Humph, little cat still dares to be stubborn!"

Princess Ankang saw that Li Xuan had no intention of explaining, and couldn't help but snorted angrily.

"I can guess even if you don't say it."

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but get nervous.

Then, Princess Ankang stared at Li Xuan's big eyes and began to analyze:

"This carriage has long been ours."

"But this month, my father specially gave it to us as a prize for this month."

"On the day of the Chongyang Banquet, we rode the carriage into the palace in front of all the guests early in the morning, and after the Cuju game, in front of everyone, we officially decided the current ownership of this carriage."

"And this carriage happened to be the exclusive frame of my mother's concubine when she was alive."

Hearing that Princess Ankang's analysis was becoming more and more reliable, Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but wander.

Princess Ankang saw Li Xuan's reaction and confirmed her guess. She smiled and came to the conclusion:

"My father deliberately pushed me onto the stage at the Chongyang Banquet."

"He wanted me to play a role."

"Play a role that is very important in the capital and even in Daxing."

Princess Ankang's face was full of seriousness.

Li Xuan sighed and closed his eyes silently.

On the day of the Chongyang Banquet, he knew that the carriage awarded by Emperor Yongyuan originally belonged to Concubine Xiao, but he did not tell Princess Ankang immediately because of this concern.

Princess Ankang did not need to understand Emperor Yongyuan's intentions, nor should she understand.

These things were originally owed by Emperor Yongyuan to Princess Ankang, but now Emperor Yongyuan returned these things that originally belonged to Princess Ankang with a purpose.

Li Xuan did not want to disappoint Princess Ankang, nor did he want Princess Ankang to understand the intentions behind Emperor Yongyuan.

They stayed in Jingyang Palace and just took care of themselves.

No matter how chaotic Daxing is, Li Xuan will practice well and protect the safety of the three of them.

Li Xuan has already agreed to help Emperor Yongyuan, but he didn't expect that Emperor Yongyuan would be so greedy that he would not even let go of Princess Ankang, who is a helper.

The cold struggle for power can no longer tolerate the warmth of family affection.

This makes Li Xuan feel sick.

This is also why he doesn't want Princess Ankang to understand Emperor Yongyuan's intentions and have any contact with Xiao Fei's old subordinates such as Chai Rongrong.

Princess Ankang is only twelve years old, and she shouldn't get involved in these disgusting things.

Yu'er, who was standing aside, was confused and couldn't help asking:

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

Princess Ankang smiled at Yu'er, then let go of Li Xuan's cat head and held him in her arms.

"Sister Yu'er, my father has given me a task implicitly."

"Of course, whether to do this task depends on my own choice."

Princess Ankang explained.

"Mission?"

Yu'er suddenly felt uneasy.

What does Emperor Yongyuan need Princess Ankang to do?

That is definitely not a simple matter.

Princess Ankang said earlier that Li Xuan deliberately concealed the fact that the carriage originally belonged to Concubine Xiao, and it was probably because of this matter.

After understanding this, Yu'er immediately became worried about Princess Ankang.

"Your Highness, this mission..."

"Is it dangerous?"

Without waiting for Princess Ankang to answer, Li Xuan in her arms immediately opened his eyes and nodded vigorously.

Seeing Li Xuan nod, Yu'er's brows unconsciously frowned.

"Your Highness, can we not do this mission?"

Yu'er asked this at the first time.

She didn't understand these twists and turns, nor did she understand any big principles.

She only knew that her duty was to protect Princess Ankang and let her avoid all dangers.

Princess Ankang smiled gently and shook her head gently.

"Sister Yu'er, born in the royal family, there are many things I can't avoid."

Li Xuan silently raised his head and looked at Princess Ankang.

Princess Ankang raised her hand and touched Li Xuan's head lovingly.

"If I don't take this responsibility, someone must carry the burden for us."

Yu'er also followed Princess Ankang's gaze and looked at Li Xuan in Princess Ankang's arms, and the soft spot in her heart was touched.

Of course, she also understood that the life in Jingyang Palace was not getting better by herself.

In places where she and Princess Ankang could not see, Li Xuan must have made various efforts.

Yu'er had also experienced the hardships of practicing.

This was when she had the guidance of a famous teacher and Li Xuan constantly found resources for her.

And when Jingyang Palace was still penniless, how did Li Xuan endure these hardships?

Although Yu'er didn't know much, she also understood a simple truth: no one in this world would be good to you for no reason.

Yu'er, who had been sold by her biological parents, had a deep understanding of this truth.

Many things are just an exchange.

Whether it's interests or feelings...

Sincerity is the same, but it's especially difficult to change.

Seeing Yu'er's expression change, Princess Ankang continued:

"Sister Yu'er, I'm not a child anymore."

Li Xuan and Yu'er were touched at the same time when they heard this.

"So, let's face it together, okay?"

"Ah Xuan, Sister Yu'er."

"If we face it together, there will be no problem!"

Li Xuan and Yu'er looked at each other and showed the same look.

At this time, they all understood that they could no longer change Princess Ankang's decision.

And, just like Princess Ankang, she is no longer a child.

"This little girl, not only has her body improved, but her mind has also become so bright."

Li Xuan did not expect that Princess Ankang's political sense is so sensitive now.

You know, Princess Ankang spent most of her time in the closed Jingyang Palace before this.

In addition to daily communication with Yu'er, Princess Ankang has almost no communication with other people.

In this case, where can she go to understand these intrigues?

But Princess Ankang thought of everything just from a note left by Chai Rongrong.

In this regard, Li Xuan couldn't help but curiously ask Princess Ankang how she figured it out.

"Hehe, when you were sneaking out to play, I didn't stay there stupidly."

Princess Ankang smiled proudly.

It turned out that when she was not practicing martial arts, she either read books or talked with the servants of Xingqing Palace.

The books Princess Ankang had read before were all about the North, and there were many historical records in them.

As the saying goes, history is a mirror, and reading history makes you wise.

By reading the historical records of the North, Princess Ankang learned a lot of principles of dealing with people and things.

In addition, she was willing to practice, and she communicated with the servants of Xingqing Palace without any airs, chatting with them about some trivial daily life, and gradually began to gossip about the conflicts between these palace maids and eunuchs.

She would ask Shang Zongguan for advice on some things she couldn't figure out.

Shang Zongguan often pointed out the key with one or two words, which benefited Princess Ankang endlessly.

And who is Shang Zongguan? He is a former chief eunuch who retired from the position of the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs at an old age.

Shang Zongguan could naturally see the intention of Princess Ankang to settle these trivial matters, so he did not dare to give too much advice.

But every time he gave a few concise instructions, Princess Ankang could immediately understand them, which also gave Shang Zongguan a lot of fun in teaching people.

After a while, Shang Zongguan saw that Princess Ankang was very smart and insightful, so he gradually became bolder.

This benefited Princess Ankang a lot.

During the time she lived in Xingqing Palace, Princess Ankang's character grew up rapidly without Li Xuan noticing.

Who would have thought that a twelve-year-old girl would understand so many twists and turns in the ways of the world.

Hearing that Princess Ankang had received guidance from Shang Zongguan, Li Xuan was speechless.

So when he was not at home, Shang Zongguan secretly gave Princess Ankang special training, right?

As for whether this was Emperor Yongyuan's calculation, Li Xuan was too lazy to think about it.

After all, it was Princess Ankang who made the decision.

And now Princess Ankang is no longer a child, just as she said.

She can make her own decisions and take responsibility.

In this case, Li Xuan and Yu'er can only provide Princess Ankang with their support.

"But Your Highness, what is the task that His Majesty has given you?"

Since she has decided to support Princess Ankang, Yu'er also wants to figure out what they are going to do next.

"Originally, I thought my father wanted me to be a focus to attract other people's attention."

"After all, since the competition in the Imperial Garden began, the palace has been much calmer, right?"

"The previous ghost and insect incidents have almost never happened in the past few months."

After Princess Ankang said this, Yu'er realized that it was really like this.

"But today's visit to General Ningyuan's mansion has given me a different idea."

"Father not only wants me to be the focus, but also wants me to reconnect these things that I once had with my mother."

Princess Ankang showed a puzzled look on her face.

"But I don't quite understand what I, a princess in the cold palace, can do with these marginal nobles who are suppressed to the bottom?"

"With such a weak force, it's probably a stretch to say that we are a force in the capital, right?"

At this time, Li Xuan patted his tail and meowed, attracting the attention of the two girls.

Princess Ankang smiled and immediately put away her puzzled look and said:

"I knew that Ah Xuan knew something inside."

Li Xuan's eyes twitched, and he felt uncomfortable being manipulated by Princess Ankang.

"You dead girl, you deliberately show me 'confusion', right?"

Li Xuan wrote a protest with his tail in dissatisfaction.

"Ah Xuan, be good, Ah Xuan!"

"Ah Xuan is the smartest and the cutest."

"Just solve the puzzles for me and Sister Yu'er~"

Princess Ankang immediately started to act like a spoiled child.

Li Xuan couldn't resist the attack of this spoiled child, and immediately told the information he knew, and attached his own inference.

"Empress Wu and the Wu family have been vigorously promoting the enthronement of the empress in recent years."

When it comes to this, Li Xuan can't help but ask them first:

"Second Princess, do you know anything about it?"

Princess Ankang shook her head blankly: "I have never seen it since I attended the party in the Imperial Garden, and I rarely hear other people mention it."

Yu'er said on the side:

"The sun and the moon are bright, but they are not as beautiful as the bright moon."

"I'm afraid everyone in Daxing has heard this sentence."

When Yu'er heard that the empress had ascended the throne, she understood what was going on.

She immediately introduced the second princess to Princess Ankang.

"I heard that the Second Princess is the legitimate daughter of Empress Wu. She has an amazing talent for martial arts since she was young. She was sent out of the palace to visit various major sects for training at a very young age."

"I heard that it was because the masters of the palace had no more to teach the Second Princess."

This was the first time that Li Xuan heard about this from Yu'er, and he couldn't help but look surprised.

With masters like Old Monk Ye in the palace, how could they not be enough to teach Princess Yan Zhao?

No matter how evil Princess Yan Zhao was, she wouldn't be so young that these masters of the palace couldn't teach her, right?

Li Xuan guessed that there might be other reasons, which was why Princess Yan Zhao was sent out of the palace for training.

Otherwise, according to Yu'er, it would be too terrifying.

Li Xuan and Princess Ankang swallowed their saliva after listening to Yu'er's introduction of Princess Yan Zhao.

The three children looked at each other in silence, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Ah Xuan, what did you want to say just now?"

"Keep going."

Princess Ankang said on the side.

Li Xuan blinked his eyes, his mind suddenly went blank, and he wrote with his tail:

"I forgot too."
