“Si Si, did you sleep well? Are you still feeling unwell?” Imperial Concubine Yun said.
Seeing an old lady and two children appear in front of her, Si Si was in a trance for a moment, but she soon realized that she had traveled through time and space to their era.
Si Si knew that Imperial Concubine Yun had always cared about her and that she truly regarded her as an elder.
She sat up quickly and said: “Imperial Concubine Yun, thank you for your concern. I’m much better now.” As she spoke, she patted the two little heads lovingly.
Aside from the shopping mall, what she was most worried about were these two kids. She doesn’t want Wang Jun and his two sons to capture them. Now seeing them again, Si Si felt warm in her heart.
Before Imperial Concubine Yun could speak, Xiao Qing’er said with tears in her eyes: “Sister, Qing’er and brother went to your place, but the door disappeared. We thought we would never see you again… wuwuwu…”
The little girl felt extremely aggrieved, and she couldn’t help crying while holding Si Si’s hand.
Si Si hugged Xiao Qing’er with heartache. She could imagine how anxious the two children must have been during the time she was gone.
“Qing’er, be good. It doesn’t matter if you can’t go to your sister’s place. You can still see me in the future.”
After a few contacts, Si Si still understands the little girl’s temper very well and knows that candy is the most effective way to coax her at this time.
In front of Imperial Concubine Yun, she felt that it was inappropriate to take things like a magic trick, in case she scared her old family again, so Si Si reached into the quilt, and at the same time, she had an idea and took out a few pieces of the two little ones’ favorite chocolates from the mall.
She shared the chocolates with the two little ones: “Look, I still have your favorite chocolates here.”
As expected, she was a child. Seeing that Si Si was fine and that she loved eating chocolate, Xiao Qing’er immediately burst into laughter: “Thank you, sister.”
Si Si caressed her little head lovingly, then turned to look at Imperial Concubine Yun, the old lady looking at her lovingly.
“Si Si, I have heard from Mohan what happens to you, just let it go and stay in Prince Rong’s Mansion and live with us in peace. I will treat you as my daughter.”
The more Imperial Concubine Yun looked at Si Si, the more she liked her. Originally, she was worried that her stubborn son would fall in love with Si Si, but they were from two different worlds and could never be together.
Now, her worries have completely disappeared, and she was even happy for her son.
Fate was a wonderful thing. It can bring anyone together, even if they are not from the same world!
Imperial Concubine Yun has already begun to look forward to the future, her son and daughter-in-law will be a perfect match…
Before Si Si could say anything polite, she heard someone talking to Qi Mohan outside.
“Your Majesty, Prince Heng, and Prince Jin have been waiting for you in the meeting room for a long time, what do you think?”
Qi Mohan had just gotten up and was about to go see Si Si. When he heard Han Yi’s report, he changed direction and said: “I will go see them now.”
After all, they are our brothers, and it was not justifiable to leave them alone for too long!
Seeing Qi Mohan enter the meeting room, Prince Jin immediately lost his temper and said, “Fifth brother, you left your two brothers alone all night for this girl…”
Prince Heng guessed that Prince Jin might not listen to what he said next, so he quickly stepped forward to interrupt him and went straight to the point: “Fifth brother, we caught the millennium clam with great effort yesterday, but there were no pearls in them.”
Qi Mohan had heard Han Yi mention it this morning. It was not his original intention to catch the clam. Even if he didn’t find the pearl, he would not be as disappointed as Prince Heng and Prince Jin.
But he couldn’t say what was in his heart, so he had to put on a show: “In that case, what are your plans, my two brothers?”
What are your plans?
“If we had a plan, why would we stay up all night waiting for you to come and discuss countermeasures together?” Prince Jin couldn’t help but speak out his true feelings.
Qi Mohan was relatively familiar with Prince Jin’s temperament. The latter had no scheming and had liked to live a comfortable life since childhood. He had never even thought about the throne. This was the reason why he could live until now, despite being so brainless.
“Third brother, don’t be anxious. Now that the fifth brother is here, let’s sit down together and discuss it slowly.” Prince Heng spoke to smooth things over.
Because he knew Prince Jin well and knew that he had no bad intentions, Qi Mohan naturally wouldn’t bother with him too much.
He sat down with a normal expression and said: “There are no pearls on the millennium clam. I still say the same thing. There is no food to send to the capital.”
Qi Mohan directly stated his position. No matter what, he won’t take out the food. As for what Prince Heng and Prince Jin are going to do, he can’t help.
Hearing Qi Mohan’s words, Prince Heng’s face fell: “Fifth brother, we brothers are now tied to the same rope. If the capital blames us for this, none of us brothers can escape.”
Qi Mohan naturally knew this, but even if he was killed now, he couldn’t provide food, so what could he do?
Now that Si Si has come to him, the supplies for the people of Qiushui City may be cut off at any time, and there is no extra food to send to the capital to feed the tyrant.
Therefore, he still maintained his original idea. As long as he was given two days to recuperate, he would be able to fight the opponent.
At this moment, Prince Heng and Prince Jin were anxiously pacing around in the meeting hall. If their mothers were not still in the palace, they might have gritted their teeth and disobeyed the order as Qi Mohan did.
It’s not that Qi Mohan can’t understand their predicament, but now he has no gold, silver, or property, and no food, so it’s useless for him to help.
He could only apologize to both of them.
Prince Heng and Prince Jin knew this truth very well, so it was understandable that they could not think of a solution when encountering problems.
“Fifth brother, the rain outside doesn’t seem to stop at the moment. My third brother and I plan to stay with you for a while and leave after the rain stops.” Prince Heng said helplessly.
He knew that it was not easy for Qi Mohan to support the people in the city, and it was a burden for Qi Mohan if the two of them stayed there. However, the rain outside was too heavy. The first two times he went back and forth in the rain were because of important matters. Now he felt like he was waiting to die wherever he went, so he might as well suffer less.
Qi Mohan naturally would not refuse. He sent them back to the guest house and even ordered some breakfast to be sent over.
Qi Mohan had just left the guest house when someone came to report that someone wanted to see him.
After asking, he learned that it was the person he led to the village that day to capture the official who absconded with money and ordered it to be sent back in advance.
Qi Mohan has been quite busy recently. If it weren’t for someone reporting to him now, he would have almost forgotten the existence of that person.
At the same time, he thought of Si Si.
