As soon as Bai Lian stepped into the room, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange.

Ming Yunqi sat at the desk with an indistinct expression. The memorial in his hand shook slightly, and his eyes glanced at him vaguely.

The little cub Ming Jiang stood aside, staring at him closely with a strange light in his eyes, which seemed to contain many questions and surprises.

Bai Lian's heart trembled slightly, he took a few steps forward, saluted respectfully to Ming Yunqi, and said in a steady and respectful voice: "I greet your majesty."

Since he had decided to stay with the little cub, Bai Lian felt a little more respect for the little cub's father.

However, he also secretly thought in his heart that if Ming Yunqi had conflicts with the little cub because of other princes in the future, he would not mind taking measures to pull the emperor down from the throne.

"No need to be so polite." Ming Yunqi gently put down the letter in his hand. His voice was light and no emotion could be heard.

His eyes stayed on Bai Lian for a moment, then quickly moved away, as if it was just a casual glance.

"Uncle Bai Lian! You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

As soon as Ming Jiang saw Bai Lian finished his greeting, he ran over happily, his eyes sparkling. Ever since Bai Lian came in, he had never taken his eyes off Bai Lian. The more he looked, the more he felt that Bai Lian was very similar to the shadow uncle whose face he could not see clearly in his memory.

Bai Lian only felt that his hands were tightly held by a pair of warm little hands. He lowered his eyes and saw Ming Jiang beside his legs looking up at him, his eyes full of surprise and inquiry. For a moment, Bai Lian was overwhelmed with emotions, and his hand holding the cub tightened a little, as if he wanted to hold on to the warmth that he had lost and regained.

Ming Jiang took Bai Lian's hand and shook it gently, signaling him to lower his head. Bai Lian looked at the cub in confusion, then obediently bent down and put his ear close to Ming Jiang.

Ming Jiang glanced anxiously at Ming Yunqi, who was watching their interaction without saying a word. After hesitating for a moment, he pulled Bai Lian towards the door of the study, saying, "Dad, Uncle Bai Lian and I have something to talk about. I won't bother you here. Go ahead and get busy."

"I'm leaving." Bai Lian was almost pulled by the cub and staggered. He felt a little confused. After hurriedly saying goodbye to Ming Yunqi, he followed the cub out.

Looking at the backs of the little cub pulling Bai Lian as they disappeared at the door of the room, one big and one small, holding hands, Ming Yunqi's face gradually darkened and became expressionless.

Wang An, who was waiting behind him, felt uneasy. He felt that after the young prince left, the air in the study seemed to have solidified, and the silence was so depressing that he lowered his head and dared not even breathe.

After a while, there was a "crack" sound, as if something broke. Wang An was startled, and looked up suddenly, and saw that the brush in Ming Yunqi's hand had broken into two pieces, and the red ink on the brush spilled on his hand, as if it was bleeding.

Wang An was a little shocked and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Your Majesty, how are you?"

He hurriedly wanted to go forward to check if Ming Yunqi was injured, but Ming Yunqi raised his hand to stop him.

"I'm fine, don't make a fuss." Ming Yunqi suppressed the emotions in his eyes, took the wet handkerchief from Xiao Anzi, and slowly cleaned the ink stains on his palm. In fact, Ming Yunqi was just a little unhappy. He didn't understand why this little cub deliberately avoided him and whispered to Bai Lian.

On the other side, Ming Jiang pulled Bai Lian straight towards his room.

They walked through the long corridor, and Ming Jiang pushed open the door of his room. This room was specially prepared by Ming Yunqi for the little cub. Although Ming Jiang had always slept in the same room with his father and had never slept here, there were many things in the room that belonged to the little cub.

As soon as the door opened, a warm feeling hit me.

Bai Lian looked around and saw that every corner of the room had obviously been carefully cleaned, with a thick blanket on the floor.

As soon as Ming Jiang entered the room, she couldn't wait to kick off her shoes. She refused Wang Fu's help and put her shoes on the shelf beside her. Then she said, "Fu Fu, I want to eat the almond cakes you made. Please make me one."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Wang Fu thought that the little cub was really craving for almond cakes, so he went out happily.

When Ming Jiang saw Wang Fu leave, she immediately pulled Bai Lian into the room. At this time, they were the only two people left in the room.

"Uncle Bai Lian, please sit down." The little cub looked at Bai Lian seriously, pointed to the soft couch beside him and asked him to sit down. After Bai Lian sat down, Ming Jiang climbed onto the soft couch opposite and sat cross-legged.

Bai Lian raised his eyebrows calmly and sat down according to the little cub's arrangement. He was full of curiosity, wondering what the little guy wanted to say to him.

Ming Jiang looked at Bai Lian steadily. After a few seconds, he suddenly asked, "Uncle, have we met before?"

There was a certainty in the cub's voice. Where Bai Lian couldn't see, Ming Jiang held his tail tightly in his palm, nervously waiting for Bai Lian's answer.

Bai Lian lowered his eyes. Although the little cub tried hard to hide it, he was still keenly aware of Ming Jiang's nervousness. He couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling a little sad. He had never thought that the recognition with the little cub would be under such circumstances.

"I'm sorry, baby. I made you suffer." Bai Lian said with a wry smile, his face full of guilt.

"It's really you, Uncle Shadow, woo woo..." The little cub suddenly jumped up from the couch. Bai Lian was afraid that the little cub would fall off the couch due to being too excited, so he reached out to catch it, but the little cub hugged his neck tightly.

"Woo! It's great that you're still here." The little cub hugged Bai Lian and burst into tears. His tears soaked Bai Lian's shoulders, as if he wanted to cry out all the grievances and anxieties he had experienced in the past few days.
