When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 111 Four Little Ones, Wild Children Who Were Scolded as Fatherless
Capital City, Imperial Palace.

"What did you say?" Emperor Xiao Junlin looked at Prince Li in surprise. "Junlin, where did you say you wanted to go?"

"Cousin, is this because I'm old and my ears aren't working anymore?!"

"How outrageous." Xiao Junmo narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"How dare you?" Xiao Junlin said with a sneer on his face, "Cousin, you have already learned from the imperial physician that I can no longer have children. What are you still afraid of?"

Ever since he knew about his physical condition, Xiao Junlin no longer observed the etiquette between a king and his subject towards his royal cousin Xiao Junmo, because the person in front of him who was jealous and suspicious was not worthy of him.

"Do you really want the land of Bashu as your fiefdom?"

It’s not that Xiao Junmo didn’t hear clearly what he said just now, but he was too surprised that Xiao Junlin actually wanted Bashu to be his fiefdom and live there in his old age.

As a place of exile for criminals, Bashu was sparsely populated, with a harsh environment, many wild beasts, and in some places poisonous insects and miasma. It was a remote and desolate place.

Is he crazy, or is his cousin Xiao Junlin crazy?

That place has no future. Not to mention a prince like him, even a low-ranking duke would not want to be granted a fiefdom there.

However, Xiao Junmo, who reacted suddenly, thought grimly, it was you who proposed to go to that godforsaken place, and those old guys can't say that he was mistreating him, a prince.

"Okay, I will issue an order now to allow you to go to Bashu to be a vassal."

Xiao Junlin had no objection to the emperor's impatience.

Ever since the day he heard Ye An say that he saw a little girl who looked very much like him in the exile team, Xiao Junlin even dreamed that there were several children who looked very much like him surrounding him and calling him father.

But every time, before he could be happy for long, the children were gently called away by a woman whose appearance he could not see clearly.

This made Xiao Junlin lose his mind day and night and lose the appetite for food. He just wanted to see how much the little girl Ye An mentioned looked like him, which made him feel familiar at first sight.

He sent people to inquire whether the exiled group was heading to Shuzhou, and Xiao Junlin simply asked the emperor for the entire Bashu as his own fiefdom.

Xiao Junlin walked out of the palace with the imperial edict, looked up at the towering palace gate, and smiled coldly and sarcastically.

Xiao Junmo thought that he could secure the throne by suppressing the prince who held military power. Little did he know that he had persecuted too many generals and civil officials over the years because of his suspicion, and the court had already been in chaos.

Now he is faced with natural disasters, external troubles and internal problems. If he doesn't find a way to solve them, I'm afraid his time as emperor will soon come to an end.

There were only a few old ministers who still had some brains in the court. When they heard that Xiao Junlin was going to become a vassal, they were extremely anxious.

"Confused, so confused!" The Minister of Revenue Qin Chuan kept saying confused, but he didn't know who he was talking about.

The historian of the Imperial Academy could not hide his worry. "Now that many places are revolting due to the famine, the world is about to become unstable. It is not wise to let this prince, who is very prestigious in the army, leave at this time."

"But when we went to ask the emperor to keep us, he refused to even see us." Another official said helplessly, "The eunuch who delivered the message also said that we were meddling in other people's affairs. Isn't this also the emperor's intention?"

After hearing these words, everyone fell silent.

"No, it may seem normal for Prince Li to leave or stay, but it actually affects the stability of the entire Daxuan. I will ask him to stay for the sake of the people of the world."

In front of Prince Li’s mansion.

"Please, little brother, pass the message to us anyway."

The man who stayed behind to guard the palace gate was so frightened that he almost jumped up when he saw the ministers bowing to him.

How could a mere security guard like him dare to accept their courtesy?

"Our prince has already left with his men, everyone please go back."

The gatekeeper bowed deeply to the ministers. Then, with a bang, the gate closed.

It wasn't that he was impolite, but several ministers saluted him, and he, a small gatekeeper, was afraid that it would shorten his life.

……

Saibei military camp.

"Boss, there's news from the capital that our prince wants Bashu as his fiefdom. Should we quietly take the army there?"

Xue Changlin, Xiao Junlin's trusted deputy general in the northern frontier, shook his head and said, "The prince has not sent a message, so we should stay here and wait for orders."

……

After returning to Beiman, Wanyan Qi led the remaining troops of Beimo and was busy conquering the two tribes of Beiman and Beirong, which were once under his command.

Look at the moon high in the sky.

His eyes gradually became confused, and in the haze, in the bright moonlight, there appeared a face that he had longed for.

"Are you okay?" The deep and vicissitudes voice was confused: "I should bring you and the child Changsheng to Beimo, so that you won't be exiled to suffer."

"It's a pity that I can't leave everything and my responsibilities here to go find you and take you under my wings."

The man stretched out his hand towards the moon, as if he wanted to touch the white jade-like cheek of the woman in the moon. "Wait a little longer. Once I have stabilized the situation here, I will go and take you and the child over to live a happy and comfortable life."

……

"Ah."

Gu Hua rubbed his nose and looked up at the clear and quiet night sky. The moon was high in the sky. It was not cold yet. He muttered, "I don't seem to have any cold symptoms. How come I sneezed?"

"Maybe it's not about being sick, you never thought that maybe it's someone who misses you."

"Get lost." Hearing this ruffian and mean voice, Gu Hua knew who it was without even looking, and casually threw over a handful of herbal anthelmintic herbs that she had found after hearing Xia He's description.

"Let's get some hay together and light it. Otherwise, there will be so many mosquitoes and no one will be able to sleep well tonight."

"Yes, master." For Han Jinyan and the others at this moment, the master was the one who provided them with food and drink.

Gu Hua had no objection to him calling him that. The purpose of recruiting these people was to have more helpers on the road ahead, and he didn't need them to be loyal.

Once they reach a place where there is no shortage of water and food, Gu Hua will not force them to stay even if they want to leave.

"Mom, come in here and there are no mosquitoes." Four little guys stretched their heads out from the mule cart covered with a mat. There were several bamboo poles and a mosquito net hanging on the mule cart.

It was unsafe to rest in the wild, so Gu Hua had to patrol their resting place several times every night. If he slept with the children, he was afraid of waking them up at night.

"Don't come out, be obedient, let Chunlan and Xiahe sleep with you."

The eldest brother, An An, held back his younger brothers and sisters who were about to crawl out to look for their mother, and whispered, "We must listen to our mother and not cause trouble for her."

The three siblings listened to their brother very much and retreated back into the mosquito net of the mule cart. Gu Hua leaned in and kissed them on the cheeks, then handed the mosquito fumigation grass in his hand to Xiaoqing and Xiaozi, and turned around to discuss things with the head of the yamen runners, Wang Geng.

Not far away, the child from Wang Hanyou's house who was trying to steal someone's chicken leg was crying because of the mosquito bites. He heard An An and his four siblings playing happily in the mosquito net. They seemed to be living such a good life.

I don't know if it was out of envy or jealousy, but she ran over to An An and the other three and shouted, "My mother said that you are fatherless children. No matter how well you live, you are still wild children without a father."
