The Regent's Tender Darling

"Xiaoyun, do you have anything that has been close to you since childhood?" Lin Jiaojiao asked casually, then she held the teacup in both hands and drank the jujube tea she had just brewed.

Xiaoyun, who was sitting on the embroidery stool, was stunned for a moment, then looked a little strange and uneasy in his eyes, and murmured to himself: "Something close to the body?"

Then he took out a wolf tooth necklace from his neck, looked up at her and said, "Mother, does this count? I have never taken it off since I was a child."

She glanced at the wolf tooth pendant with a layer of patina. It had a warm color and must have been worn for a long time.

Calculated in terms of days, the Li family was wiped out ten years ago. Xiaoyun was probably about three to four years old at that time, so he must have been unable to remember what happened before.

As for how Xiaoyun escaped, he probably got separated when Li Shangshu sent Li Maonian to escape together.

This is just her own guess. I am afraid only Li Maonian knows what is going on.

She looked at Xiaoyun and asked tentatively: "How many people are there in your family? Why were you sent to the Taiwei's Mansion?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyun shook his head in confusion, his eyes moved to the left, recalling, and in the end he just said: "They all said that the slave was an orphan, and was sold to the Taiwei Mansion by a man since he was a child."

Then Xiaoyun squeezed the wolf fang pendant in his hand tightly, lowered his head slightly and didn't know what he was thinking, but he could see a trace of loneliness in his eyes.

"This wolf tooth is really exquisite. Can you let me play with it for a few days?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyun came back to his senses. Without any hesitation, he quickly took off the necklace around his neck and held it up with both hands.

"If the empress likes it, it will be a blessing for this chain."

This was a pleasant thing to say. She smiled gently and took the necklace from Xiaoyun's hand.

After these days of maintenance, the skin on Xiaoyun's face has improved a lot, but she is still a little thin. She looks more and more like Zhao Shuang'er, especially her eyes.

If she didn't know that the Li family and the Zhao family were not related, she might have thought that Xiaoyun was a young lady from the Zhao family.

She yawned slightly and said lazily: "I'm tired, you go down first and let Xuemei come in to take care of me."

"Yes." Xiaoyun quickly stood up, surrendered and stepped back.

Within a moment, Xuemei came in. After closing the door, when he saw her, he started to get scared and said: "Your Majesty! Today, Qingtao suddenly wants to come in, but it scares the slave. Fortunately, the slave is quick, and he will be here soon." I packed my things without being seen by Qingtao."

She said helplessly: "It's not a big deal for you to practice calligraphy. Being secretive will only arouse suspicion."

When Xuemei heard this, she said with a little pride: "I knew you would say this, my lady. I just put away the letters from my two aunts and pretended to practice calligraphy. Dongqing moved quickly, picked up the feather duster next to me and started to sweep Hui, Qingtao won’t come over to see what I’m writing. After she came in, my servant collected her things and went to help.”

"Hey, when did my Xuemei become smart?" She responded with a smile, then suppressed her smile and handed out the wolf tooth necklace in her hand.

"Um?"

Xuemei was stunned for a moment and quickly took it, frowned and said, "Isn't this Xiaoyun's?" She had seen it when Xiaoyun was changing clothes.

"Yes." Lin Jiaojiao nodded, and then said: "Take this thing and go to the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city tomorrow to find Li Maonian and bring him back."

"Ah?" Xuemei was shocked after hearing this! My jaw almost dropped to the floor.

Then he wanted to confirm again and asked: "Who did the empress say?"

"Double Swordsman, Li Maonian."

Hearing Li Maonian's name again, Xuemei almost threw away the wolf fang necklace and quickly declined: "My dear, that is Li Maonian who kills without blinking an eye. If I go here, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!"

"What are you afraid of with this necklace?" She knew Li Maonian somewhat. When she broke into the palace, she only wanted to injure people without killing them. There was no way such a person would attack a woman who had no power to restrain a chicken.

What's more, with Xiaoyun's necklace, it is even more impossible for Li Maonian to touch Xuemei.

Xuemei wailed: "My dear! If you want to listen to the book, you can just listen outside. Why do you want to listen to the book myself?"
