Chapter 145 Yo Yo, What Is His Origin?

Mianmian quickly sat up and rubbed her eyes.

"Mom, I'm awake, please come in."

When Chen Qingyin came in, she was holding a plate of pastries.

Now she has been married to Ning Guanzhou for many years, nourished by all his love, and is more dignified and beautiful than before.

"Your father bought it today when he came back from court. He wanted to come with me to see you just now, and I lied to him and said you were resting."

Chen Qingyin placed the pastries on the table, but Mianmian had no appetite to enjoy them for the time being.

Seeing this, Chen Qingyin sat down beside the bed and said, "I heard from your two brothers that you were in a bad mood after returning from the palace today. What happened?"

Mianmian seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

She didn't want to make her mother worry, but she couldn't figure it out, so she told Chen Qingyin about Xiao Jingli's feelings for her.

But she didn't mention her concerns or the true identities of the two people.

After hearing this, Chen Qingyin slightly widened her beautiful eyes, then smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.

"Isn't this great? You two have been childhood sweethearts. In your mother's opinion, you are the most suitable couple."

"I heard from your father that the prince is working hard and making great progress. He is also very talented and highly regarded by the emperor."

"The friendship between you two, who grew up together, is even stronger. If he can really become your husband, mother will not object."

But as Chen Qingyin was speaking, she noticed that Mianmian looked like she was at a loss for words.

She was slightly startled: "What's wrong, Mianmian doesn't like him?"

Mianmian thought about it and shook her head.

As for not liking it, I don’t really.

You say you like it? But...

Chen Qingyin saw her concerns: "What are you worried about?"

Mianmian considered carefully and said, "I'm thinking that our identities are not suitable. Even if we are together in this life, what about the next life?"

She has completed her mission in this life and will always return to Qingqiu.

Chen Qingyin was amused by her daughter's idea.

"Little girl, why are you still thinking about your next life? No matter what happens in the future, of course you should live your life well now, and think about your next life in the next life."

"If you don't marry him, will your life end? People should live one step at a time. For a man like the prince, what's wrong with your mother and father supporting you to be with him?"

Mianmian actually felt that there was some truth in it.

At night, the little girl tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She thought, why not just go to the palace tomorrow and agree to Xiao Jingli's request.

But we also need to make it clear that the fox tribe is committed to loyalty for life.

If he really fell in love with her, then when this life ended and she returned to Qingqiu, he would stay with her.

Otherwise, don't start.

Having made up her mind, Mianmian could finally fall asleep peacefully.

But at this moment, there was a loud bang in the room.

The little girl was startled and sat up suddenly.

"Who's there?"

In the room illuminated by moonlight, a dark figure appeared as if it had just fallen from the beam.

Mianmian looked carefully and said, "Hey, why did you fall down?"

She walked over with her clothes on and picked up Youyou.

I saw Yoyo still in his sleep, kicking his claws around as if he was having a nightmare.

"My Lady, I was wrong. Please don't kill me. Am I not your favorite little baby? I don't want to be a skunk. Ahhhh, I don't want to..."

It twitched violently, scaring Mianmian.

"Yo Yo! Wake up, Yo Yo!" She patted it gently, but it was no use.

Mianmian suddenly turned her wrist, and her magic power flowed into Youyou's body.

After a while, Yoyo finally woke up, with tears welling up in her eyes as big as green beans.

Mianmian breathed a sigh of relief: "Yo Yo, did you just have a nightmare?"

Yoyo rubbed his eyes with his paws and said in a muffled voice: "Yeah! I'm fine."

As it said this, it scurried back to the beam, curled its tail, and fell asleep again. Mianmian didn't think much about it, and just lay back down, having a good night's sleep.

In the dead of night, white fog spread over the streets of the capital.

The night watchman held a lantern and his voice spread through the streets and alleys: "It's dry, please be careful with the fire."

Suddenly, a figure flashed before his eyes and ran into the dark alley next to him.

The night watchman frowned in confusion and followed slowly.

The alley was empty.

He scratched his head and wondered: "Did I see it wrong?"

Just as he turned around, he saw a huge tiger head made of black mist, staring at him with ferocious red eyes.

"Ah——!" The night watchman was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

The black fog rushed towards him, instantly submerging and swallowing him.

A moment later, the moonlight appeared from behind the clouds, illuminating a shriveled, heart-ripped corpse on the ground.

*
Day two.

When Mianmian woke up, she went to the palace to find Xiao Jingli.

However, he was told by his eunuch——

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went out last night and has not returned yet. He also said that he would be back in a while and asked the servants to leave him alone."

Mianmian was stunned, frowning in confusion: "Besides this, did he say anything else?"

"No," the eunuch shook his head honestly, "Maybe His Highness went to relax."

After all, when Mianmian left the palace yesterday, Xiao Jingli's face looked very bad, and everyone could see it.

Mianmian didn't say anything, but walked to Xiao Jingli's desk, left a letter, and pressed it under the inkstone.

"Then, when the prince comes back, ask him to come see me."

After saying this, Mianmian turned and left the palace.

As she was riding in a sedan chair through the street, she heard heart-wrenching cries coming from not far away outside.

"If you leave, how can I live with the child alone?"

Mianmian lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and saw a woman crying on a corpse covered with a white cloth.

The people around shook their heads and sighed.

Mianmian keenly caught a hint of strong evil spirit.

"Wait, stop the sedan!" She hurried over to check the situation.

People around were talking about the dead.

"Oh! How pitiful! He was only over 30, how could he die so tragically?"

"I heard that a monster sucked all his blood and dug out his heart!"

"No way, the emperor is under the protection of dragon energy, how could any monster dare to come?"

Mianmian frowned when she heard this.

The emperor has been in very poor health recently, so his dragon energy has naturally weakened.

Could it be that some monster took advantage of the situation and sneaked in?
She waved her hand gently, and suddenly a gust of wind came, blowing up the white cloth on the dead body.

Mianmian saw the scratches on his heart in an instant.

Everyone was shocked, even she was stunned.

This claw mark...

tiger? !
Mianmian returned home full of doubts.

She found Yoyo.

"Yo Yo, do you know the specific origin of Xiao Jingli's white tiger?"

Yoyo was basking in the sun and jumped up suddenly when he heard the words.

Its green bean-sized eyes showed nervousness: "Princess Mianmian, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Mianmian sighed: "I want to marry Xiao Jingli, so I want to know his past. He never told me and just said it's not important."

Yoyo was shocked.

It scratched its head with its claws: "Then...then I said it, don't tell him it was me who said it."
