CHAPTER 246 (1): PREPARATIONS READY
Ning Lianchenâs hand froze as he tried to put the quilt back on her. Beat His Majesty up?
âDo you know His Majesty?â Liu Yinyin grabbed his hand again, swinging it back and forth with a sincere look in her eyes.
Ning Lianchen put her hand away and replied softly, âI do.â
âGood, when you are free, take me to meet His Majesty. I will definitely beat him up for taking my Dad away, and having the nerve to send my parents to a county in the countryside. He didnât even confirm when they could come back.â Liu Yinyin was pouting, the sadness on her face somehow seeming adorable.
âAlright, I will take you to see His Majesty when I have time. He has wronged you by taking your father away, and deserves to be beaten up by you.â Ning Lianchenâs voice was soft and gentle as he put the quilt back on her.
Liu Yinyin was satisfied and laid down obediently. She then turned to look at Ning Lianchen. âWhat is your name? You are such a nice person.Iâm called Liu Yinyin.â
âIâm not a nice person, and I canât tell you my full name for now. However, the last character in my name is âChenâ. Since Iâm older than you, you can just call me Elder Brother.â Ning Lianchen didnât tell her his name directly, but instead had her calling him Elder Brother.
Liu Yinyin giggled. âElder Brother Chen.â She raised her head after saying it. âElder Brother Chen, the sun isnât up yet. Arenât you sleepy? I will leave half of the bed to you; come up and sleep.â
Ning Lianchen was startled. Although I am a bit older than her, weâre both still children. Iâm not used to the idea of sharing the same bed as someone else.
âElder Brother Chen, come and sleep.â Liu Yinyin scooted over in the bed as she spoke, patting the space next to her. âI was just sleeping here, so itâs nice and warm.â
Ning Lianchen shook his head. âYou go to sleep; I have something to do.â
Liu Yinyin could see the worried look in his eyes and couldnât help but ask, âWhat are you thinking about? Your family? I used to have the same expression when thinking about Daddy, so you must be missing your family.â
Indeed, Ning Lianchen was thinking about his Imperial Elder Sister. He was worried about her, but couldnât leave the room.
âElder Brother Chen, if you are missing your family, then you can talk to her quietly from your heart. Dad said that since families are linked by blood, theyâll be able to hear each other if you call out for them from the bottom of your heart. Isnât it magical?â Liu Yinyin went back under the quilt when she finished talking, softly giggling to herself as she retreated.
âElder Brother Chen, you need to talk to your family from the bottom of your heart, so I wonât interrupt you anymore. If you are sleepy, then come up and sleep. Itâs very warm in the quilt.â After she finished talking, Liu Yinyin closed her eyes obediently. She didnât know that the person she wanted to beat up was standing in front of her eyes, her Elder Brother Chen.
Ning Lianchen looked at Liu Yinyin and his expression became solemn. His head was full of Liu Yinyinâs words. If you miss your family, then you can speak to them through your heart. Families are linked by blood, so they will hear your words.
Slowly, Ning Lianchen walked towards the window of the Dragon Boat, put his hand next to his chest and started talking silently from the bottom of his heart. If Imperial Elder Sister can feel it...
Liu Yinyin opened her eyes and looked at Ning Lianchen. Heâs really doing it, but I wonât tell him that it doesnât work. When Daddy was at the imperial palace, I often talked to him silently from the heart, hoping that he could feel how much I missed him. However, Daddy still didnât return after such a long time.
It wasnât easy for him to come home, but now heâs resting and needs to leave for a countryside county tomorrow. I donât even know when he will be back. Liu Yinyin suddenly felt sad. However, she thought that no matter how sad she felt, she couldn't tell Elder Brother Chen that this method didnât work.
Meanwhile, Guan Xiang had already written up an impeachment letter and handed it to Su Xi-er to check.
