The girl was stunned for a moment and looked at him for no reason.

Leng Ming blinked sideways, and continued with a little mystery:

"Treat my mother well. One day, I will come back to pick you up. At that time, you will be a hero. Even if you can't let you be the queen or the imperial concubine, you can do it."

Leng Ming's words made the girl in front of her stunned for a moment. Looking at the handsome man, her face turned a little red, and her heart began to thrive.

Leng Ming knew that this little girl had a trap and wanted her mother to live a stable life here, so he could only come up with this bad idea. He had to find a way to make this little girl willing to take care of her mother.

He took out a jade pendant and a few ingots of broken silver from his sleeve and held it in front of the little girl.

"This jade pendant is my love for you. Keep it away, don't let others see it. There are also these broken silvers. Buy some food and drinks for my mother. I will come and give you some money again if you have the chance in the future..."

The little girl took the jade pendant and the broken silver with her hands, and looked at him like a dream.

"Prince Ming, is what you said true?"

Leng Ming raised his hand, gently licked the broken hair on her forehead with ambiguous eyes, and nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Everything that my king said is true. As long as you treat my mother well, I will not disappoint you."

"Prince Ming..."

The little girl was somewhat flattered and covered the jade pendant on her chest, biting her lips shyly and nodding.

"Prince Ming, my name is Xiaotao. You must remember my name. I will remember what you said in my heart."

"Just remember, I'll leave first. Remember, take good care of my mother and you will have the chance to fly to the branches to be a phoenix. If I find out that you dare to treat her badly again, you know what I will do."

"Don't worry, Prince, Xiao Tao will definitely regard the Empress as her master and serve her very well."

Leng Ming glanced at her, turned his eyes with unknown meanings a few times, got up and came to Concubine Chang, and reluctantly clasped his fists and said:

"Mother, I'm leaving first. Take care of me. If you have the chance in the future, I'm coming again."

Concubine Chang knew what the crime was to trespass into the cold palace, so she nodded quickly.

"Go, don't let people discover it."

Seeing this, Xiaotao hurriedly came to him quickly and said softly as if he was attentive:

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Xiaotao will go outside first."

This little girl was fascinated by Leng Ming's words. When she talked to Leng Ming, her face turned red unconsciously.

She turned around and opened the door, looked outside for a while before turning around and saying to Leng Ming:

"No one is there now, please leave!"

Leng Ming glanced at Concubine Chang again, took a big stroll and walked towards the door.

When he passed by Xiaotao, he looked at Xiaotao, raised the corner of his mouth and instructed:

"Xiao Tao, I will remember your name, and you must remember what I said."

Xiaotao's face turned red again. She lowered her head and nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Prince, Xiaotao will wait for you."

When she finished saying this, she looked up and found that Leng Ming had disappeared from her eyes. She looked at the jade pendant in her hand, smiled with satisfaction, turned around and closed the door.

After coming out of Leng Ming's mood became very complicated.

He could tell from the face of her mother that she had suffered a lot of crimes during this period.

It was his only choice to say those words against his will. In order not to let his mother suffer more, he could only temporarily sell his heart and use the little Tao.

Luo Xue, I'm sorry!

While these words appeared in his heart, the shadow of Luo Xue appeared in front of his eyes.

It seems that in this era where imperial power is the most important thing, he must get enough rights. Only in this way can he protect the person he closes the most and get the person he loves the most.

If he is lucky enough to ascend the throne, he can not only save his mother, but also marry Luo Xue. Since he has the chance, why not fight for it?

He looked up at the sky. The gray sky made him feel a little depressed. The dark clouds in the sky seemed to tell him that the road ahead would be difficult to walk, but even if he knew that the sky would rain at any time, he would still have to take the rain forward. For his mother and Luo Xue, he could not turn back, and there was no way to go...

...

In the imperial garden,

Yu Qiaoqiao sat in the pavilion, looking at the three children playing from a distance, with a faint smile on her lips.

Lele was really left by the emperor to play chess with him. The other three children ran to the back garden to play. Luo Lan told A Cai to look at them, and she left the palace early to Huichun Hall.

Recently, dysentery in Beijing has been serious. She is afraid that the patient will not be able to find her, so she is in a hurry to go to Huichuntang.

"A Cai, sit for a while. Princess Yu is not here. I am not your master, so there are no rules."

A Cai hurriedly shook his head,

"I'm not tired, I'm used to standing."

Seeing that A Cai seemed to be unhappy, Yu Qiaoqiao didn't say anything anymore and looked at the three children crawling on the rockery again.

After Leng Ming came out of Leng Palace, he came straight to the Imperial Garden. He expected that the three children would be in the Imperial Garden.

He came to Yu Qiaoqiao, bowed his fists,

"Fifth sister-in-law..."

Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head and waved her hand awkwardly. She wanted to tell Leng Ming not to call her fifth sister-in-law. She and Leng Xi were about to divorce each other. However, when she thought of what her mother said before entering the palace, she stopped her mouth and nodded to him.

"Prince Ming, haven't left the palace yet?"

"I haven't seen the kids for a long time, so I'll play with them for a while."

A Cai nodded with a smile on the corner of her mouth,

"These children have mentioned you all day long and said they haven't seen you for a long time. Come over quickly. They will be very happy to see you later."

Leng Ming smiled without saying a word, raised his foot and walked towards the rockery where the children were.

Seeing his arrival, An An, who was having fun, ran to him first, held his hand, looked up at him, and pouted in grievance and blamed him.

"Uncle, where have you been? We haven't seen you for several days."

Huaiyu also ran over, staring with her big eyes, nodding,

"Well, we all miss you, why haven't you come to Prince Yu's Mansion for a long time?"

He raised his hand and touched Huaiyu's head, then smiled at An An and said:

"The uncle has only been there for a few days, so it's not a long time. I'm here to accompany you now."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiaobao who was standing timidly on the side and waved his hand at him.

"Xiaobao, come here too!"

Xiaobao pursed his lips, looking embarrassed.

Seeing this, An An stepped forward and pulled him over.

"Xiaobao, uncle is very good to us. He often plays with us. Now we are friends, and he will play with you."

Xiaobao looked at Leng Ming, said oh, and called carefully:

"Little uncle..."

Looking at Xiaobao's appearance that was completely different before comparing her, Leng Ming felt sad.

Xiaobao used to be spoiled by the people of the Xiwang Mansion, but now Xiaobao has become as timid as a mouse.

In fact, only Xiaobao and Yu Qiaoqiao knew what was going on. During this period, Leng Xi, who had always been tolerant to Xiaobao, suddenly became serious because of some stimulation. To be more precise, his attitude towards Xiaobao was turned 180 degrees, and he proposed various tasks that Xiaobao could not accomplish at all.
