The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1102 - 691: Luming’s Farewell (Third Update)
Anqi looked at An Youyou sobbing sadly and just couldn’t help herself, reaching out to hold An Youyou too.
At this moment, An Youyou was already hugging Xiao Luming, so as Anqi hugged him, she embraced both of them.
Xiao Luming’s small body seemed to tremble slightly.
He raised his eyes to glance at Anqi, noticing her full attention was on An Youyou, and only pursed his small lips without saying a word.
An Youyou cried non-stop.
An Ning felt somewhat speechless.
Someone who didn’t know might think that An Youyou had endured great suffering following her.
She instructed the palace attendant to set the Xuan paper aside and walked up to them, saying, "Youyou, that’s enough."
An Youyou was still in the arms of Xiao Luming and Anqi.
Upon hearing An Ning’s voice, she reluctantly freed herself from the embrace, her eyes filled with tears.
No matter how you looked at her, she was truly pitiful.
An Ning thought it a pity that An Youyou wasn’t a child star.
"Luming, Anqi. Mother is back," An Ning called to them.
The two turned to look at her.
Anqi suddenly threw herself into An Ning’s arms.
An Ning felt a pang in her heart.
Anqi hugged her tightly, "Mother, you finally came back! I missed you so much."
An Ning hugged Anqi tightly.
"I missed Anqi a lot too."
"Now that you’re back this time, you won’t leave again, will you?" Anqi asked nervously.
At this moment, Xiao Luming looked at her with eyes filled with some nervousness and anticipation.
An Ning said, "Mother will leave again tomorrow."
As soon as she spoke.
Anqi’s eyes reddened even more.
Xiao Luming lowered his eyes in that instant.
Even though it’s very distressing, he chose to endure.
After being away for over half a year, Xiao Luming seemed to have become more mature and reserved.
An Ning was about to explain.
An Youyou asked eagerly, "Mother, are we leaving tomorrow?! Are we only staying in the Imperial Palace for one night?!"
"No. Tomorrow is when I leave; you’ll stay in the Imperial Palace..."
"Wahhh..." Before An Ning could finish, An Youyou cried loudly again, "Mother doesn’t want Youyou anymore? Just like she didn’t want Brother, she’s leaving me in the palace too."
"..."
Xiao Luming’s small lips pressed tighter.
Obviously hurt by what he heard, yet he still chose silence.
An Ning took a deep breath.
She ultimately felt some guilt toward Luming.
She said, "I’m not abandoning you. I’m leaving tomorrow to go to Mobei to find your father. There are many things I want to explain to him face to face. If nothing unexpected occurs, I’ll stay in the palace."
An Ning thought there wouldn’t be any unexpected events.
So she added, "Stay in the palace with your father."
As her words fell.
Xiao Luming, who had lowered his head, looked up at her in surprise.
Probably thinking he misheard.
Anqi also looked at An Ning wide-eyed.
For a moment, in disbelief.
Back when Mother left so firmly.
She was gone for so long without any news.
Later, they couldn’t help but ask their father.
Father said Mother wouldn’t come back anymore.
They assumed Mother wouldn’t return.
After all, Father never lied to them.
But now, not only has she returned, but she suddenly says she’s not leaving again.
Anqi cried even more, "Mother, is it true?"
"It’s true." An Ning wiped Anqi’s tears, "But now, because your father personally led troops to Mobei, I can’t stay in the palace; I need to go to Mobei to find him first. Mobei is very dangerous, and I can’t take you with me. So you must wait in the palace for your father and me to return, alright?"
"Okay." Anqi quickly responded.
An Ning turned to look at An Youyou.
This rebellious little child, always causing more trouble than doing good.
An Youyou met An Ning’s gaze and felt a bit guilty.
She was afraid of being abandoned by her mother, which is why she became so agitated.
She buried her head in Xiao Luming’s arms again, mumbling softly, "Youyou understands, Youyou will wait in the palace for Father and Mother to return obediently."
An Ning smiled gently.
Her eyes turned to Xiao Luming again.
On Xiao Luming’s handsome face, there remained a calm demeanor.
At this moment, he looked An Ning straight in the eye.
He respectfully said, "Mother, rest assured, I will take good care of Youyou."
An Ning pursed her lips.
After all, Luming had grown distant from her.
"It’s getting late; you should return to your chambers and rest early. Tomorrow morning Mother will leave, no need to send me off, just wait quietly for your father and me to return victorious." An Ning smiled.
"Yes." Xiao Luming and Xiao Anqi respectfully replied.
Xiao Luming released An Youyou.
An Youyou looked at them piteously, saying, "You have to come to play with me tomorrow; I’ll be scared on my own."
"I will come early to keep Youyou company, don’t be afraid," Anqi promised.
"Okay." An Youyou nodded obediently.
After a period of reluctance.
Xiao Luming and Xiao Anqi left Fengqi Palace.
Before leaving, Xiao Luming turned back for a glance, then left, biting his little lip.
An Ning didn’t hesitate anymore.
She went to bed early tonight to ensure a smooth journey tomorrow.
She first sent Youyou to sleep and returned to her own bed.
Everything on the bed still the same as when she had left.
Her heart kept trembling.
She closed her eyes, forcing herself to sleep.
The next morning.
As dawn broke.
An Ning got up with the help of the palace attendants.
An Youyou still slept soundly like a little piglet.
As An Ning was leaving, she leaned down to give An Youyou a kiss, An Youyou murmured a few words before turning over to sleep again.
An Ning smiled and didn’t linger, stepping out of the inner room.
Just before leaving the front hall.
She saw Xiao Luming.
It was so early now...
When did Luming arrive?!
Didn’t she say no need to send her off, to just wait for her to return?!
There was a trace of sourness in her heart.
Luming was dressed in his court attire.
Was he planning to go straight to the morning court after seeing her?
Xiao Luming saw his mother appear and respectfully bowed, "Son greets Mother."
"Luming." An Ning called out softly.
She had thought Luming held resentment towards her.
That’s why last night she didn’t say much to Luming; she planned to explain slowly and heal Luming’s hurt little heart after returning.
Unexpectedly.
So early today, Luming came to see her.
"Mother is going to Mobei today, and son came specially to see her off. Please take care of yourself." Luming stated respectfully, with a touch of concern.
"Don’t worry, Mother will take care of herself." An Ning nodded and reminded, "Luming should also take care of himself and his older and younger sisters."
"Luming will definitely do so and won’t let Mother and Father worry."
"Luming, you’ve really grown a lot." An Ning marveled.
A boy not yet seven years old, already showing responsibility.
No wonder Xie Ruotong would say, the Crown Prince is adored by civil and military officials.
