Chapter 28 Little Sizi's Opening Remarks Were Absolutely Top-Notch
"Erlang, in my opinion, this so-called opportunity can never compare to the safety of Xiao Sizi! I only hope that my Xiao Sizi will be safe and sound!" As she said this, tears welled up in Empress Zhangsun's eyes.
Li Shimin felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, though he wasn't entirely indifferent to Xiao Sizi's safety.
He could only pull Empress Zhangsun into his arms and whisper to comfort her, "Guanyinbi, do you remember when Sizi was born? He was not only weak, but he also refused to eat and cried all day long?"
"How could I not remember! At that time, the imperial physicians in the palace tried all sorts of methods, but none of them worked. I just don't know why Si Zi suddenly got better!" Empress Zhangsun nodded, leaning against Li Shimin's chest, and her memory was involuntarily pulled back to when Si Zi was just born.
"Actually, there is something I was afraid would worry you, so I have not told you until now!" Li Shimin said slowly, his tone slightly heavy.
Empress Zhangsun did not speak upon hearing this, but simply raised her head and silently looked at Li Shimin.
After a moment, Li Shimin continued, "Actually, I invited Wang Zhiyuan to the palace to examine the phoenix's physiognomy...!"
"Oh, the Wang Zhiyuan that Erlang is talking about, could it be from when you were still the Prince of Qin, before you ascended the throne...?"
"That's right! It's him!" Li Shimin's eyes were deep, as if he had thought of something.
"Then, I wonder what he said?" Empress Zhangsun interrupted Li Shimin's recollection.
"Hmm, Wang Zhiyuan is a man who understands the hidden and subtle, knows the will of Heaven, and is proficient in Taoist arts. When I invited him to the palace that day, he glanced at the rhinoceros and said only one sentence!" At this point, Li Shimin suddenly stopped talking, his brows furrowed.
Empress Zhangsun's heart leaped into her throat, and she hurriedly asked, "Second Prince, what did he say?"
Li Shimin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Shen Fuyuan has a thin fate and may die young."
Empress Zhangsun was struck dumb upon hearing this, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Li Shimin reacted quickly and caught her tightly in his arms.
"Guanyinbi, how are you! I haven't finished speaking yet, you absolutely can't be hurt!" Li Shimin looked anxious, and for a moment he was filled with regret. He should have known better than to say those things.
"My poor, wretched son! How could this happen! Erlang, tell me quickly, what exactly happened?" Empress Zhangsun stared intently at Li Shimin, her eyes filled with tears.
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Empress Zhangsun was unharmed.
"At first, I didn't believe it either, and in my anger, I almost ordered him to be executed. But Wang Zhiyuan later told me that there was still a glimmer of hope. Coupled with what Li Chunfeng said and the strange things that Sizi is currently encountering, perhaps this is the key to breaking the deadlock!"
Li Shimin's words were resounding. Although he had doubted their authenticity, Xiao Sizi's two unexplained disappearances reminded him of what Wang Zhiyuan had said.
The reason he hadn't mentioned this before was that he didn't want Empress Zhangsun to worry too much about it. However, it wasn't until Empress Zhangsun wanted to take Xiao Sizi back to her palace that Li Shimin had no choice but to reveal the truth of the matter.
"Then, what should we do now?" Although Empress Zhangsun was the mother of the nation, she lost her composure at this moment.
"In my opinion, as long as the little prince is not in any danger, let's just let things take their course for now!" Li Shimin was also afraid that their unwarranted interference would lead to irreversible changes.
Empress Zhangsun pondered for a moment upon hearing this and nodded: "This is the only way for now! I just don't know if the person Sizi mentioned truly has that ability!"
Unlike the two people outside the hall who were filled with worry, the scene inside Hanfeng Hall was quite different.
"Sister, how is it? Is this delicious?" Little Sizi stood in front of Chang Le and Cheng Yang with a lollipop in her hand, looking charming.
"Mmm, this is so sweet! I've never had this before. Si Zi is amazing!" With Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun no longer present, Princess Chengyang gradually returned to the mindset of a child, happily holding the lollipop in her hand.
"Hehe, it's not actually that amazing! Lin Fan bought it for me!" Xiao Sizi said proudly, pulling Lin Fan out to show off again.
Princess Chang Le stood aside, watching her two younger sisters get along so well, and felt very gratified. However, as she heard Si Zi keep talking about Lin Fan, she became more and more curious.
"Sizi, who exactly is this Brother Lin Fan you're talking about?"
Upon hearing Chang Le's question, Cheng Yang, who was happily eating a lollipop nearby, listened intently.
"Guoguo is Guoguo!" Little Sizi's attention was focused on the lollipop in her hand, so her words were essentially meaningless.
Princess Chang Le was somewhat speechless. There was nothing she could do but blame Si Zi for being too young, making it difficult to communicate effectively about many things.
"Sizi, the brother you're talking about isn't a god, is he?" Chengyang asked, his big, watery eyes wide as he looked at the table full of delicious food.
"Hehe, I didn't arrive either! There's a talking bear over there with my buddy!"
Upon hearing this, Princess Chengyang's expression became even more exaggerated, and she almost dropped the lollipop in her hand in shock.
"A talking bear? Is it the kind of big black bear that Father hunted before?" Princess Chengyang remembered that Li Shimin had hunted a big black bear last year.
"No way! That bear isn't as cute as the one over there!"
"Aren't bears all fierce and menacing? Why does Sizi find them cute?" Princess Chengyang's mind was full of questions.
"And that bear likes to steal honey! And that bald guy, he's always bullying the bear!" Little Sizi couldn't help but wave his little fist when he mentioned Bald Qiang.
After hearing what Xiao Sizi said, Princess Chengyang's curiosity grew even stronger. The bear could talk, liked to steal honey, and there was a guy named Qiang who liked to bully the bear.
"That bald guy is really something! He actually dared to bully a bear! He must be even more powerful than Cheng Yaojin and Uncle Yuchi!" Chengyang had already started to imagine what Bald Qiang looked like. Gradually, Bald Qiang's image overlapped with that of Cheng Yaojin, almost making the little girl burst out laughing.
Princess Chang Le, standing to the side, was also incredibly curious. It wasn't that she didn't believe what Xiao Si Zi said, but it all seemed too far-fetched. However, considering that Xiao Si Zi had suddenly disappeared in front of her last time, perhaps the person who took Xiao Si Zi away was truly a deity?
"Oh right! Guoguo also said that he can make Mommy better!" Xiao Sizi had just mentioned Lin Fan and immediately remembered what he had said, blurting it out.
"What! Was what Sizi just said true? Your brother has a way to cure Mother?"
Princess Chang Le was so excited that the moment Xiao Si Zi uttered those words, she felt that even the lollipop in her hand no longer tasted good.
"Yes, Guoguo told me himself! He wouldn't lie to me!" Xiao Sizi nodded very seriously, clearly believing Lin Fan's words completely!
Princess Chang Le almost jumped up with joy upon hearing this: "Si Zi, you wait here, I'll go call Father!" With that, she ran out of the palace.
