#1212 - Daddy, squat down!
Prince Qing noticed that Ning Chen's expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Chen shook his head and said perfunctorily: "It's okay!"
Immediately, his eyes fell on the man covered in bruises on the ground, "Who is this? He looks familiar."
Prince Qing teased: "It was the little singer who scared you so much that you jumped onto the beam yesterday."
Ning Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
Prince Qing continued, "He was the one from the World Congress who revealed your whereabouts to the outside world, which led to your assassination."
Ning Chen frowned slightly, "It seems that the power of the World Association is even greater than I imagined. Even Xiaochang is a member of the World Association."
Prince Qing said: "As far as I know, the World Association will accept everyone, from royal relatives to peddlers and hawkers, as long as someone introduces them, they can join the World Association.
But these people who are disloyal are all minions of the World Association, doing things for money."
Suddenly, Prince Qing stared at Ning Chen, "You are not surprised at all, did you already know that the one who assassinated you was someone from the World Association?"
Ning Chen raised his eyebrows, "Don't forget, I caught a tongue."
Prince Qing groaned and said unhappily, "You made me worry for nothing."
Ning Chen said indifferently: "You just said that the World Association will accept everyone, even royal relatives... How do I know if you have joined the World Association?"
Prince Qing: "......Am I sick or are you sick? I am the prince of Wu State. What do I want to achieve by joining the Ten Thousand Nations?
King Qing snorted.
Ning Chen was too lazy to care about this matter anymore, and changed the subject, "Has the child arrived at your house?"
"What time is it now?"
The servant who was waiting beside him leaned forward and said, "My Lord, it's already 9 o'clock!"
Prince Qing looked at Ning Chen, "They are almost at my palace."
Ning Chen hummed and said, "Let's go to your house."
Prince Qing pointed at the half-dead concubine on the ground and said, "Are you sure you don't want to interrogate him?"
"Didn't you examine it?"
"Aren't I afraid you won't believe me?"
"Then it's as you wish..." Ning Chen shouted outside: "Old Pan, come in for a moment."
Pan Yucheng strode in in response.
Ning Chen pointed at the mistress on the ground and said, "Old Pan, Old Feng and I were attacked last night. He was the one who leaked the news to the outside world. Take him away and interrogate him strictly, regardless of whether he lives or dies."
Pan Yucheng nodded, "Yes!"
Ning Chen looked at Prince Qing, "Pan Yucheng, the Supervisory Department's Golden Clothes, is an expert at interrogation. There is no mouth he can't pry open."
King Qing said, "I know him. If you hold out something else, remember to tell me."
Ning Chen glanced at her and saw that Prince Qing looked calm. It seemed that this matter really had nothing to do with her, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Immediately, Ning Chen brought Feng Qizhen, Xiao Yanxi, and a dozen soldiers to Prince Qing's Palace.
The two children have arrived, escorted by dozens of imperial guards.
Ning Chen came to the door of the hall, lifted the curtain a little and looked inside.
I saw Wu Sijun sitting upright on the chair. Although he was young, he had an extraordinary demeanor and was dignified and reserved.
It was Little Lemon who pulled Wu Sijun's sleeve and said, "Brother, brother, shall we go play?"
"Little sister, stop making trouble. We need to wait for Daddy to come..." Wu Sijun picked up a piece of cake, "Here, your favorite almond cake."
Ning Chen lifted the curtain and walked in.
Wu Sijun looked at Ning Chen, hurriedly got down from the chair, took two steps forward, lifted his skirt, and knelt on his knees: "Greetings to Daddy!"
Little Lemon was eating almond cake, hugging a table leg, looking around, and said softly, "Greetings to Daddy."
She was totally parroting her brother's speech.
Her attention was completely focused on the snacks in her hands, and she probably didn't even notice Ning Chen coming in.
Ning Chen looked at Wu Sijun, his smile became much gentler, and said, "Get up and let Daddy see you."
Wu Sijun stood up.
Ning Chen looked at Wu Sijun. Although he was just a genius, just a genius...how old was this kid?
Over five years old, almost six, it seems.
Among children of the same age, Wu Sijun is definitely the tallest. His height has reached Ning Chen's waist, and he should be over 1.2 meters tall...As a child of the royal family, he eats well and has adequate nutrition, so he naturally grows tall.
Ning Chen looked at Wu Sijun with great curiosity.
He finally understood why Emperor Xuan would be so excited to see him every time he came back from a battle.
"Good boy, you have grown into a little man."
Ning Chen touched his little head. Wu Sijun looked more like the empress, while Little Lemon looked like him.
Little Lemon only noticed Ning Chen then and looked at him with her little head tilted.
Ning Chen smiled and waved at her, "Little Lemon, do you still remember your father?"
Little Lemon stuffed the last bit of pastry into his mouth and ran towards Ning Chen.
Ning Chen bent down and was about to reach out to hug her, but Little Lemon dodged his hand and then rang out in a soft, baby-like voice: "Daddy, don't move..."
Ning Chen looked puzzled, but still did as he was told, bending over and not daring to move.
Little Lemon stretched out his chubby little hands and gestured in the air a few times, then said, "Daddy, squat down!"
Ning Chen squatted down with a puzzled look on his face.
Little Lemon took a few steps back, then ran over and bumped into Ning Chen's stomach.
Ning Chen was fine, but Little Lemon was shocked and sat down on the ground. Then her mouth pouted and she started crying.
Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead.
Wu Sijun quickly ran over and brought a piece of snack over, "Niannian, don't cry, Niannian, don't cry, come and have some snacks..."
Little Lemon and Nian Nian are both nicknames...her real name is Wu Si Nian.
Wu Sijun coaxed her and wiped her tears.
Little Lemon stuffed the cakes into his mouth while crying.
Ning Chen stepped forward, picked up Little Lemon, and comforted her: "Don't cry, don't cry, hold her up high, hold her up high..."
After all, they are children and easy to coax.
Soon, the whole hall was filled with Little Lemon's soft and crisp laughter.
"My dear daughter, why did you bump into Daddy just now?"
Little Lemon said vaguely: "Mother, mother..."
Ning Chen thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "Did your mother ask you to do this?"
Little Lemon nodded.
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, this woman... he liked to hit him in the stomach, and now she wanted to lead his daughter astray, she really deserved to be punished.
Ning Chen looked at Wu Sijun, then at Xiao Ningmeng, and the lines on his face became extremely soft.
Wu Sijun is gentle and polite, and he will definitely be a handsome man when he grows up.
As for Little Lemon, Ning Chen couldn't say... This little guy seemed to have ADHD and couldn't sit still for a moment. For example, now in his arms, he would pull his hair, and poke his face... Both hands were not enough to keep her busy.
