Chapter 397 Hesitant Leng Xi
He really didn't want to look at this annoying woman more. He hadn't killed her to silence her, and he was already considered kind to her.
He came to the back garden of Xiwang Mansion alone. He rarely came here because every time he came here, he would think of many sad past events.
Standing by the lake and looking at the trickling stream, he felt a lot of emotion.
At this time, two Chu people walked past the veranda of the garden, walking in a hurry, as if something was urgent.
Although he had agreed to cooperate with the Chu people that he could not interfere no matter what the Chu people do in the capital or the Xiwang Mansion, he still followed the two suspicious people curiously.
He knew about the loss of Shui Luolan's two children. He also suspected that the Chu people did it, but he did not investigate. Shui Luolan did not take good care of his children, which was what she asked for. Besides, there must be their reasons for the Chu people doing this, so why should he meddle in other people's business?
He saw the two men entering a woodshed not far from the back garden. Here, except for the Huofu, there would generally be no one coming. What did these two Chu people come here to do?
He looked closer and saw four people guarding the woodshed outside the woodshed that no one was interested in and even the servants didn't want to come.
This really surprised him. Is there any secret hidden in it?
He raised his foot and walked forward. He wanted to go over and ask, but after taking two steps, he stopped and retreated. If he asked like this, the other party would definitely not let him in, although it was in his own home.
Thinking of this, he turned around and left.
This is his own home, and he knows better than anyone else that there is not only this door in the woodshed, but also an unknown back door on the other side, because no one has ever walked through it, and that door has long been forgotten.
Now it seems that the door comes in handy.
He walked around the front yard and came to the most remote corner of the Xiwang Mansion, where weeds were overgrown and the grass had withered. It was enough to see from the height of the weeds that no one had stepped in here for a long time.
Standing there, he took a deep breath and suddenly smiled with a self-deprecating smile.
It's ridiculous that he actually had to use this method in his own home.
However, for the sake of future plans, you still have to endure it.
Thinking of this, he pulled open the pile of weeds, opened the short foot door, and crawled in.
After entering the door, there were still a pile of weeds. Just as he was about to walk in, the conversation between the two people came from inside. He hurriedly squatted in the pile of weeds, holding his breath, and waiting for the two people to leave.
After a while, the other side became quiet. He looked at it again and saw that there was no one there. Then he stood up and tiptoed over.
Although this yard is just a firewood, it is also a relatively spacious yard. There are four or five rooms of all sizes and sizes, and the firewood that the Xiwang Mansion needs to burn throughout the winter is piled up.
Looking at each room, there seemed to be nothing special except firewood.
Just as he walked to the door of the woodshed in the middle, a slight sound came from inside, and his expression suddenly became nervous.
Anyone here?
He narrowed his eyes, pierced a hole in the window paper, and looked inside.
But he saw nothing except a pile of firewood.
It seemed that a mouse must have appeared. He was about to turn around when he suddenly heard a faint sound from inside.
"Brother, don't be afraid, you have An An accompany you."
"Don't be afraid, sister, mother will definitely find this place, she will definitely save us."
Is it a conversation between two children?
Leng Xi was so shocked that she took a breath of cold air, and a panicked gaze flashed in her eyes.
These two children were indeed locked up here. It seems that his guess is correct.
These Chu people were really sinister. They hid the children of Prince Yu’s mansion in Prince Xi’s mansion, and it was afraid that even the gods could find them.
But what should he do? Will these two children be released? Obviously not. The people of Chu must have wanted to use these two children to threaten Leng Yu, or use them as bait to lure Leng Yu into a trap, and then kill him.
Leng Yu's death is a great thing for him and the key to his success in taking the throne.
Those who do big things should have a grudge and should not pay attention to the details.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and turned around. As soon as he was about to leave, he heard the two tender voices inside coming out again.
"Brother, you have to hold on. An An sings a song for you. It shines and shines. The sky is full of small stars. It hangs in the sky and shines brightly, like many small eyes..."
For some reason, the song actually melted Leng Xi's heart.
He raised his hand, slapped his face, gritting his teeth and thinking,
In any case, they are also children of the Leng family, one is Leng Yun's orphan, and the other is Leng Yu's child. They should call themselves uncle, how could he bear to see them suffer here?
Besides, the Chu people used two children to win, and the victory was not strong.
Thinking of this, he pulled the belt from his waist and tied it to his lower half of his face, then quietly pushed open the door, turned around and closed it.
He could not let the two children see his face, otherwise he would not be able to explain it even if the matter had nothing to do with him.
When he passed through piles of firewood, he came to the innermost open space, where there were indeed two children, tied with their hands and feet and curled up on the ground, but there was no fear on their faces, and some were tenacious and strong.
When they saw Leng Xi, they immediately closed their mouths, and Huaiyu said directly and righteously:
"I told you a long time ago that if you have anything to come for me, don't hurt my sister."
Huaiyu's appearance made Leng Xi feel a little relieved. At least he is not as selfish as his father now. Perhaps Shui Luolan educated him very well.
He glanced at Huaiyu, squatted beside them, and whispered:
"Don't argue, I'm not a bad guy, I can let you out."
"Really?"
An An stared at him with wide eyes, "Will you really let us out?"
Leng Xi turned around and looked at An An's big eyes. His heart suddenly became tight. This look made him feel familiar.
"May I have your name?"
Although he knew that her name was given by his father, he still couldn't help but want to say a few more words to her.
An An pouted and replied timidly:
"My name is An An, uncle, will you really save us? If so, I will repay you in the future."
Her words made Leng Xi stunned. The little child's mouth was so sweet, which surprised him.
Although he was a royal family, it was the first time he had met these two children. What he didn't expect was that Leng Yu's child was so cute and clever that he couldn't help but want to say a few more words to her.
"Your name is An An. This name sounds so nice. Who gave it to you?"
"It's my mother. I have a younger brother named Lele. My mother said that she hopes we can have peace and happiness every day."
After saying this, she looked at Huaiyu again and explained:
"My mother also said that Huaiyu's name is also very meaningful. When my brother grows up, he will tell him."
Huaiyu?
