Reunion (2)

"Hehe, what a surprise, isn't it? He's in the carriage of the Aila Empire, and this is the Little Princess. She calls her brother 'brother'..." Princess Longji said with a smile.

"Oh, give him to me, it's not good for you to hold him!" Long Anqi replied casually, and then picked up Ye Lang. Although Princess Longji was a little reluctant, she had no way to refuse.

"... An Qi, don't you find this strange?" The Empress Dowager found this situation odd. Ye Lang's appearance at such a strange time, and his strange relationship with the Little Princess, all of this needed to be explained.

Now, Long Anqi acted as if nothing had happened, simply taking Ye Lang and holding him in her arms without caring about anything else.

"What's so strange about it? What's incapable of this kid?" Long Anqi replied casually.

"That's right, even if he wipes out the Aila Empire, we wouldn't be surprised." Ye Chengtian said with a smile. Although he himself didn't believe his own words, he felt that it seemed normal if it was Ye Lang.

"..." The Empress Dowager fell silent. She seemed not to have imagined that Ye Lang would be perceived in this way by everyone.

"Auntie, is there any way to wake him up?" Princess Longji asked Ye Lang, standing beside Long Anqi.

"It's difficult, unless... never mind, you should tell me first how you found him," Long Anqi asked. Although she wasn't surprised by the situation, she still wanted to know.

"It's quite a coincidence..."

Princess Longji then began to recount the events, briefly explaining them while concealing the fact that Cold-Blooded Fifth was involved, saying only that it was the work of the Cold-Blooded Group.

The Cold-Blooded Group was something Long Anqi didn't need to hide. Whether it was her identity as a princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire or Ye Chengtian's wife, she had access to this information.

However, while the Cold-Blooded Group can be identified, its specific members cannot be revealed. Ye Chengtian and the others believe this is something they understand: an empire has its own secrets, and they don't need to know too much or too detailed information.

"So that's how it is. This kid sleeps like a pig, he doesn't wake up even with such a loud noise. Little Princess Ella, what's wrong with you that this kid needs to treat you?" Long Anqi looked at Little Princess Ella and felt a little strange. She couldn't see anything wrong with the little girl in front of her.

"Yes, there were a lot of people outside just now, so I was too embarrassed to ask. But if you don't want to say, then you don't have to," Princess Longji said to Little Princess Ella.

She had wanted to ask before, but there were too many people around, and it wouldn't be good if she couldn't talk about the illness!

"I..." The Little Princess grabbed Ye Lang's sleeve, looking at everyone weakly without answering the question. She was still a little afraid of these strangers.

"Little girl, don't be afraid. If anything happens, you can tell your grandmother," the Empress Dowager said kindly.

"..." The Little Princess ignored him and moved even closer to Ye Lang. She seemed immune to the Empress Dowager's kindness.

"Why is this little girl like this? Am I going to be scary when I grow up?" The Empress Dowager touched her face with a bit of annoyance, as if she had been slightly discouraged.

"Mother, you're not good at dealing with kids like this anymore, let me handle it..." Long Anqi said with a smile, then went to coax the Little Princess, but...

"..."

The Little Princess moved closer to Ye Lang, but still didn't speak to Long Anqi.

"Hehe, let me do this. She just called me 'sister'!" Princess Longji said with a bit of pride, making both Long Anqi and the Empress Dowager want to give her a good scolding.

"..."

However, at this moment, the Little Princess seemed to ignore Princess Longji.

"Haha..." The Empress Dowager and Long Anqi couldn't help but laugh. They looked at each other and continued laughing. This laughter seemed to have something else to it besides Princess Longji's humiliation.

The reason the Little Princess spoke to Princess Longji before was because Princess Longji wanted to take Ye Lang away. She only confronted her in a moment of desperation, but now that the situation no longer requires it, she naturally returned to her original state.

What are you laughing at?

Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess returned at this time. Hearing Long Anqi and the other girl laughing, they casually asked.

"Ah..." the Seventh Princess cried out in surprise.

"Little Seven, what are you yelling about... ah..."

While Ye Lanyu was talking about the Seventh Princess, she suddenly noticed someone, and at that moment, she naturally knew what the Seventh Princess was calling.

"Brother, Mom, why is my brother sleeping here? When did he come back?"

"I took this from you. It's your fault for not coming with me just now..." Princess Longji said, deliberately trying to provoke Ye Lanyu and the other girl.

"What? What's going on?" Ye Lanyu and the other person were confused.

After Princess Longji briefly explained the situation, Ye Lanyu and her companion felt a little regretful, regretting that they hadn't gone together.

Although they knew they would meet eventually, it was just a matter of time, but they wanted it to be as soon as possible. They didn't want to be later than others, and Ye Lanyu especially didn't want to be later than Princess Longji.

"Little brother, get up and eat..."

Ye Lanyu said unhappily, grabbing Ye Lang's collar.

"Oh, sis, what are we having for dinner today..."

Ye Lang slowly opened his eyes and mumbled sleepily.

"..."

Seriously? He didn't even wake up after all that commotion, and now he's awake just because of Ye Lanyu's words? That's truly embarrassing.

Of course, one should feel ashamed. He wouldn't even wake up if someone stepped on his face, but he would wake up when someone called him to eat. It's no wonder people feel ashamed of such a person.

"Wait, something's not right. My sister shouldn't be here. I must be dreaming. I'll just sleep a little longer." Ye Lang suddenly felt something was off, so he wanted to lie down and sleep again.

"Get up right now! Tell me what happened! How did you end up in the Aila Empire? And why did you bring a Little Princess with you?" Ye Lanyu wouldn't let Ye Lang continue sleeping, so she grabbed his ear with one hand.

"Ouch... it hurts..." Ye Lang cried out in pain, his sleepiness instantly vanished, and he became much more awake.

"Sister, let go... wait, what are you doing here? And what about you guys? No, you should be asking me why I'm here. I was sleeping in the carriage. Where's Little Karin?" After realizing what was happening, Ye Lang started looking around.

Little Karin? Who is that? Could it be...?

"Brother, I'm here!" the Little Princess said.

The Little Princess's words confirmed that she was indeed Little Karin, and also confirmed that Ye Lang Little Princess to care quite a bit about her.
