After a house full of cannon fodder read my voice, the whole family went crazy.

The warehouse door was suddenly opened, and someone came in and started rummaging in the warehouse.

Qiao Wanshu's attention was immediately attracted.

She subconsciously leaned towards the Ninth Prince beside her, and snuggled deeply into his arms.

Sensing the little girl's dependence, the Ninth Prince suddenly felt sour in his heart.

He had never felt anything like this.

Whether it is relying on others or being relied on, this is the first time.

The Ninth Prince looked down at the back of Qiao Wanshu's head, and suddenly had the urge to rub the soft black hair.

He thought so and did so.

When Qiao Wanshu felt a gentle touch on her head, she almost fell off the beam in fear.

She even covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming.

【What are you doing! It's so scary! Do you know? 】

Qiao Wanshu turned around and glared at the Ninth Prince fiercely.

Her inner voice made the Ninth Prince's face heat up. He subconsciously touched the tip of his nose, looked away, but held Qiao Wanshu tighter.

This time, the surprise search still did not find the two children hiding on the beam.

Soon everyone in the warehouse evacuated and searched elsewhere.

Qiao Wanshu breathed a sigh of relief, then thought of the patterns on the roof of the warehouse, and couldn't help but struggle.

"Be careful, don't fall!"

The Ninth Prince mistakenly thought that she had been squatting for too long and her whole body was numb, so he immediately hugged her tighter carefully.

"There's a picture! It's at the top!"

Qiao Wanshu pointed at the place where she saw the pattern just now.

[The Guojiu Mansion was the private property of the crown prince of the previous dynasty. It is said that before the fall of the previous dynasty, the prince hid the treasures of the treasury in preparation for a comeback in the future. The treasure maps left behind at that time disappeared with the death of the relevant personnel. 】

[There is another pair hidden somewhere in the imperial city, but no one has been able to find it. Maybe, that strange pattern is the treasure map! I must take a good look and write it down. 】

[If it were true, wouldn’t I have posted it! 】

The Ninth Prince originally listened to Qiao Wanshu's thoughts and was analyzing whether the treasure map would be here, but when he heard the end, he was speechless.

"This girl turns out to be a money-obsessed person? But the Qiao family and the Chen family are all wealthy gentry, and it's not an exaggeration to say they are as rich as the country. Why is she still so money-obsessed?"

Seeing Qiao Wanshu moving around restlessly, he could only try his best to satisfy her desire to see the "treasure map" clearly while ensuring her safety.

Qiao Wanshu studied the "treasure map" with fascination, but the Ninth Prince listened attentively to what was going on outside.

According to his judgment, the guards outside should be far away.

The sound came from far away, and there was no sound of anyone lurking outside the warehouse, waiting in secret.

"Xiao Shu'er, we have to hurry up and leave. There is no one outside now, but someone may come back at any time."

The Ninth Prince waited for a while before interrupting Qiao Wanshu's research.

"Okay, let's go."

Fortunately, although Qiao Wanshu is obsessed with money, she is still very clear-headed.

Even though the treasure is good, you have to have a life to get it before you can have a life to spend it.

She has almost memorized the "treasure map". Even if there are any omissions, she can just let her brothers find a way and sneak in to see clearly.

Her decisiveness made the Ninth Prince fall into trance again.

A child of such a young age has such a decisive and sharp mind. Sure enough, there are great mysteries and surprises hidden in her small body.

The Ninth Prince hugged Qiao Wanshu and jumped down lightly.

He did not go out immediately, but listened carefully for a while to confirm that there was really no one outside, and then quietly slipped out.

The location of the warehouse is at the back of the back garden of Uncle Guo's house. As long as it is shielded by shrubs and trees, it is not difficult to sneak out.

The Ninth Prince is still the size of a child, and he still has to protect Qiao Wanshu.

Going back and forth, it took a lot of energy just to climb out of the high wall of the uncle's house.

Fortunately, although the Ninth Prince is young, his skills are really good.

The two of them finally escaped from the uncle's house without any danger.

Escape is not the end.

The Ninth Prince hugged Qiao Wanshu and ran all the way back to Qiao Mansion without stopping.

On the way, they also encountered the Yulin Guards who were evacuating one after another.

In order not to alarm the emperor, no extraneous matters were involved.

The Ninth Prince took Qiao Wanshu and hid in the dark, waiting for all the Yulin guards to evacuate before quickly moving towards Qiao Mansion again.

It wasn't until they saw the closed door of Qiao Mansion that the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Perhaps her nerves had been tense for too long, Qiao Wanshu fainted without even saying a word.

The Ninth Prince had reached the end of his strength and barely managed to knock on the door. It was not until someone from the Qiao family came to open the door that he fainted.

"...Son, Shu'er, wake up, my dear..."

The faint sound of sobbing seemed to come from the sky.

Qiao Wanshu gradually woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Chen's beautiful but tear-stained face.

There were other Qiao family members surrounding her, all looking at her nervously and concernedly.

"mother……"

Qiao Wanshu was obviously excited, but as soon as she spoke, her voice had a trembling cry.

Mrs. Chen even hugged her tightly and hugged her tightly. She kept mumbling: "Mom is here, be good, mother is here. You are home, don't be afraid anymore!"

Qiao Wanshu wanted to tell her what she had just experienced, but seeing her mother's look, she seemed to know everything.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen hugged her and cried till she was in tears.

"My dear, why did you meet the assassin? If I had known it would be so dangerous, I shouldn't have left you in the palace in the first place. It was my fault, and I'm sorry for you!"

Qiao Wanshu reached out her little hand distressedly and kept wiping Chen's tears.

"Mom, Shu'er did it herself, don't blame mom. Don't cry!"

She obviously wanted to stay and help her fourth brother clear his grievances. How could she let her mother take all the responsibility on herself?

Besides, no one thought that Uncle Guo would be so rampant.

Not long after the Ninth Prince left the palace, he sent people to assassinate two children on the street!

Wu Qingyun was still in bed resting due to heavy blood loss due to dystocia and was weak, so he did not show up.

Lin Yue'er heard that Qiao Wanshu was back and was assassinated together with the Ninth Prince. For fear that she would be injured, she waited early with the medicine box in her arms.

Fortunately, the Ninth Prince protected Qiao Wanshu very well. Although he was inevitably injured, Qiao Wanshu had no other injuries except some superficial scratches when she was tied up.

Mother and daughter reunited, and it took a long time for their emotions to calm down.

Qiao Wanshu finally remembered to ask the Ninth Prince about the situation of his savior.

"Mom, where is the Ninth Prince?"

Mrs. Chen shook her head. She was so focused on her daughter that she really forgot about the Ninth Prince.

However, Qiao Jingyue answered on his behalf: "His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince is talking to father, Shu'er, do you want to see him?"
