Chapter 219 Murong Brothers and Sisters Reunited
Murong Hao nodded and tried to sit up.
Seeing this, Zhan Ping brought the bowl over again, then carefully cooled the porridge and fed him spoonful by spoonful. After Murong Hao finished eating, he felt that his body had regained some strength.
"Thank you, sir." Murong Hao said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Just call me Brother Zhan." Zhan Ping said with a smile, "By the way, it's too late now. I'll take you to see your sister tomorrow morning, okay?!"
Hearing this, Murong Hao nodded slightly and said, "Well, okay, thank you, Brother Zhan."
"It's okay. Just stay here tonight. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning." Zhan Ping said as he fed him the porridge.
After watching him lie down and rest peacefully, Zhan Ping walked out quietly and closed the door.
Seeing Doctor Pei decocting medicine in the courtyard, Zhan Ping walked over and said slowly, "Uncle Pei, leave the boy here with you for one night. I will take him away tomorrow morning."
"Well, sure. You should also take care of your health. Don't work so hard every day. Rest when you need to!" Pei Hua couldn't help but remind him.
"I understand, Uncle Pei. You should also go to bed early. See you tomorrow!"
"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Zhan Ping said goodbye to Doctor Pei and turned back to rest.
The next morning, the sun filled the entire yard. Zhan Ping got up early, washed up, and then came to the door of Murong Hao's room and knocked gently.
Murong Hao quickly put on his clothes and opened the door. After seeing Zhan Ping, a smile of expectation appeared on his face.
"Come on, little guy, I'll take you to find your sister." Zhan Ping said with a smile.
Then the two of them walked out of the courtyard together and headed towards the old house where Murong Hao's sister lived.
Along the way, Zhan Ping took good care of Murong Hao, and Murong Hao was excited and grateful at this moment.
Originally thinking that he was going to die, he didn't expect that he could be so lucky to be rescued. Murong Hao felt grateful in his heart.
When the carriage finally arrived at the old house, Murong Xue was seen standing at the door of the old house, looking at the intersection.
Murong Xue saw the carriage coming from afar and couldn't help but wonder if her brother had returned.
Her heart was beating fast with excitement until the carriage stopped in front of her. She finally felt relieved until she saw her brother getting off the carriage with her own eyes.
Seeing this, she walked quickly forward with joy in her eyes and hugged Murong Hao tightly.
"Hao'er, you're finally back! You made me so worried." Murong Xue said with tears streaming down her face and choking.
Murong Hao hugged her back tightly, "I'm sorry for making you worry. Hao'er will protect herself well in the future."
Zhan Ping watched this scene of deep affection between sister and brother and felt very relieved.
"Okay, let's go inside first. It's no use standing here at the door." Zhan Ping said with a smile.
Murong Xue then realized her own gaffe, so she hurriedly took Murong Hao's hand and walked into the old house.
The three of them entered the house, and Murong Xue carefully asked Murong Hao about what had happened. When she learned that it was Zhan Ping who saved her brother, she looked at Zhan Ping with eyes full of gratitude.
"Lord Zhan, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you need any help in the future, please let me know." Murong Xue said sincerely.
Zhan Ping smiled and waved his hand, "It's just a small favor. Miss Murong, you are too kind. Don't take it to heart."
After a pause, Zhan Ping continued, "Miss Murong, I do have something I would like to ask for your help."
It turned out that in the process of investigating the case, Zhan Ping discovered that Murong Xue's family was once a prominent family in the capital. It was only ten years ago that the Murong family encountered an accident and slowly withdrew from the capital.
However, some of the remaining aristocratic families in the capital are still restless. If the Murong family can help to keep an eye on them secretly, there should be different results.
So Zhan Ping told Murong Xue about his thoughts, "As a subject, I should share your worries. However, I am afraid that I can't turn the tide by myself, and I need the cooperation of all parties. So I wonder if Miss Murong can lend me a hand?"
Murong Xue frowned slightly, thought for a moment and replied: "Although I am a woman, I also know that the rise and fall of a country is the responsibility of every man. If we can contribute to the country, our Mu family will naturally do our part.
However, this matter is of great importance at this time, please allow me to go back and discuss it with the clan leader, and then give you an answer."
Zhan Ping stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Murong." After that, he bowed and said goodbye and left the Murong family's old house.
After the brother and sister sent him to the carriage, they turned around and returned to the old house.
At this time, the patriarch of the Murong clan was on his way to Beijing. It is said that fallen leaves return to their roots, and the roots of the Murong clan are in Beijing. As he gets older, he wants to return to Beijing to retire.
After the morning court session the next day, Chu Junze left Zhan Ping alone.
Zhan Ping reported the child disappearance case in detail to Chu Junze. After listening to it, Chu Junze became extremely angry.
"This bunch of beasts!" Chu Junze slammed his palm on the table, "I will never let them off easily! Zhan Ping, I order you to continue investigating this case and make sure to catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"I obey your command!" Zhan Ping clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"In addition," Chu Junze paused, "you can make more use of the Murong clan. They have deep roots in the capital and may be able to provide some clues that we don't expect. But remember, don't let them fall into danger."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand." Zhan Ping was secretly delighted. With the emperor's support, he believed that the investigation would go much more smoothly.
However, when thinking of Murong Xue, Zhan Ping couldn't help but recall her every frown and smile, and felt inexplicably happy in his heart.
After leaving the palace, Zhan Ping immediately began to plan his next move. He was determined to find out the truth and find the missing children at all costs.
Watching him leave, Eunuch Xi said to Chu Junze, "Your Majesty, anger is harmful to your health. Please take care of yourself."
"I understand, but I am really angry. These people are worse than animals. They are so heartless. They are still children!"
Chu Junze was both angry and heartbroken.
It was not until he returned to Yaoguang Palace and saw his brothers and sons that he finally felt a little relieved.
The three little ones saw their father coming back and immediately ran over excitedly: "Father, father, Master Long Yi taught us how to use hidden weapons today."
Chu Junze listened to their chattering, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Oh, so amazing!"
Erbao immediately said arrogantly: "Father, really, we are very powerful now!"
"Then show it to father." Chu Junze looked at them lovingly.
In an instant, the three little ones were eager to try.
