Chapter 290 Hold the dog, and the cat!
When everyone in the hall heard that the child was missing, they panicked instantly, and the old emperor was furious!
"Where did Qin Beiyu take the child? How could he lose the child?"
Empress Su: "There are lotus ponds, rockeries, bamboo forests and so on in the Imperial Garden. What if the child gets into any of them and gets into danger?
Your Majesty, can you help me find it quickly?"
Crown Prince Qin Jinan and Crown Princess Wei Meijuan were the first to rush out and followed Qian Qing to the Imperial Garden.
Shen Ruyi was holding her drowsy little girl in her arms. She was also extremely anxious. Shen Ruyi held her little girl horizontally and coaxed her to sleep, and called Shen Jiabao who was hiding at the gate of the main hall.
She squatted down and patted Shen Jiabao's head, then put the little girl in Shen Jiabao's arms, and Shen Jiabao lay down flat, stretching out his front legs for Xiao An'an to rest his head on.
Shen Ruyi saw that no one was paying attention, so she took out a small quilt from her arms, covered Shen Jiabao and An An with it, and let An An take a nap next to Shen Jiabao.
Worried about her daughter, Shen Ruyi saw Jiusheng standing outside the hall door as soon as she walked out.
"Uncle Jiusheng, I want to go find Pingping. Can you look after An'an for me? She is sleeping here with Jiabao."
Jiusheng stood up straight immediately: "Yes! Madam, don't worry!"
Jiusheng came to the child and looked at little An'an lying in the tiger's arms. His heart couldn't help but soften. Jiusheng's eyes were a little red. He knew that the little girl was so weak because of the poisoning.
Looking at Jiusheng sitting next to the tiger and the child, Shen Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, turned around and ran out of the hall.
My son is so young, maybe he just ran away to play? This palace should be safe. Although Shen Ruyi comforted herself like this, she was also quite panicked in her heart, because her son was only a little over one year old!
Before I even reached the Imperial Garden, I heard deafening shouts, everyone was shouting Ping Ping... Ping Ping...
Shen Ruyi heard so many shouts, and she knew that if the child was not asleep, he would have heard them. Could it be that her son had gone to sleep somewhere? Or was he taken away by someone?
In an instant, the fear in a mother's heart was infinitely magnified because her son was missing...
Shen Ruyi rushed into the Imperial Garden and saw the Emperor and Empress standing there with serious faces. Emperor Bogu said: "It is impossible that the child disappeared without a reason. Let's check if someone took the child away.
Where did Qin Beiyu go? How could he lose a child while looking after him? How can he be the commander-in-chief of the three armies..."
When Empress Su saw Shen Ruyi coming, she pushed her man. Emperor Bogu was such a smart man that he put out the fire immediately!
Qian Qing quickly explained to Shen Ruyi: "My little county lady, our prince was strolling around the garden with the child. Suddenly, the little lady said she was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Our prince asked me and Wan Qing to get water for the child. As a result, the prince turned around... and the child disappeared!"
Shen Ruyi knew that her son would drink spiritual spring water after eating, but today she was disturbed by Qin Beiyu's return and forgot to give her son water!
Shen Ruyi touched the small kettle hanging around her waist and shouted loudly: "Pingping, drink some water. Mother has brought you some water. Pingping, come out and drink some water..."
Shen Ruyi was running and shouting in the garden. She was extremely anxious. Her son was only one year old and although he was smart, he was still a child after all!
There are many things he has never experienced. What if he is taken away by bad guys or assassinated?
She knew the shady tactics in those palace fighting dramas. What if her son met a bad guy? Shen Ruyi was so scared that she couldn't hold back her tears while shouting...
Shen Ruyi didn't know how long she had been running. All she could hear was someone calling her son's name, Pingping... Pingping, where are you?
The greatest hope of a mother at this moment is that her son can be safe and sound, and she asks for nothing else...
Shen Ruyi suddenly saw an open space in front of her. She had already run to the lotus pond. From afar, she saw a woman struggling in the lotus pond. She was struggling in the muddy water and shouting for help!
The woman's shouting was a little weak, probably drowned out by the voices shouting "Ping Ping" all over the world. Looking at the woman carefully, she felt that the woman was probably quite old, at least fifty years old, right?
Why would a woman of such an old age be in the lotus pond? Shen Ruyi couldn't help but ask herself.
Snort...snort...
Shen Ruyi thought she heard a snoring sound. The sound was very familiar. It was her son's snoring when he was sleeping!
Because Pingping is quite fat, his vocal cords will be compressed when he falls asleep and he will snore. Xiao Anan also snored when he slept before, but after the child was poisoned, his snoring has become weaker and he generally does not snore anymore.
Shen Ruyi didn't care about the drowning woman. She listened carefully to the snoring sound. Following the sound, she slowly came to the flower bed. She squatted there and listened. She could hear a snoring sound in the flowers. It was her son sleeping in it. No wonder he didn't answer her when she called him all over the place!
Suddenly, Qin Beiyu fell from the sky and landed in front of Shen Ruyi. Shen Ruyi looked up at the man with tears in her eyes, which instantly broke Qin Beiyu's heart!
"I'm sorry, Ruyi. This is the first time my cousin is taking care of a child. I don't know how he disappeared all of a sudden... I'm sorry, Ruyi. My cousin will definitely find the child... Don't cry..."
Shen Ruyi blinked away her tears, pointed at the flowers and said, "Cousin, my legs are not working well. Can you go in and get my son out? He is asleep, don't scare him..."
Qin Beiyu followed the direction Shen Ruyi pointed and saw a large cluster of flowers. He listened carefully and actually heard a slight snoring sound.
The man was immediately surprised and said, "Ruyi, is our son asleep in there? No wonder he didn't respond no matter how I called him. It turns out that the child is asleep...
Ruyi is not afraid of his cousin carrying him out!"
Shen Ruyi sat down on the ground. She really had no strength left to run. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead. She was nervous, excited, and worried. In short, she was exhausted both physically and mentally...
The woman drank two sips of the spiritual spring water and sat there watching the man rush over. Wan Qing from behind also rushed over. The two men parted the flowers over there. Wan Qing waved his hand behind him and two more people came over!
Everyone came together to help pull apart the flowers, but the child was too small and burrowed into the roots of the flowers, making him impossible to reach!
Qin Beiyu: "Bring the scissors. Cut the roots of the flowers from the bottom. Otherwise, when you take the baby out, it will scratch him..."
Soon the Emperor, Empress, Crown Prince and his wife all knew that the child had crawled into the flowers and slept under the roots of a tree, so they all ran over. But when they arrived, they heard someone calling for help in the lotus pond.
Empress Su looked up and said, "Oh! Isn't that Concubine Qi? How did she fall into the lotus pond?"
Bogudi looked up at the lotus pond, frowned and said, "How did she fall into the lotus pond? Go get two people to fish her out!"
Shen Ruyi was pulled up by the prince and his wife. Princess Wei Meijuan hugged Shen Ruyi and patted her on the back, comforting her: "Don't be afraid, Ruyi, the child just loves to play and even crawled into the flowers and fell asleep. Your cousin has never taken care of a child, so don't be angry..."
Qin Beiyu took a pair of large scissors and with a few clicks, he cut off the flower roots close to the ground!
The noise when cutting the branches was quite loud and it woke the child up. After Xiao Pingping woke up, he found that he could not move. The little guy had a bad temper and he got mad when he woke up, so he started howling.
Qin Beiyu was almost laughing out of anger, his son was crying quite loudly. He quickly cut the flower roots until his son's chubby little body was exposed. Then he threw away the scissors, reached in, and fished his son out.
He actually felt distressed as he held his crying son. The man wiped the tears and dirt from the little guy with his sleeves. The little guy was really scared. He woke up there and couldn't move. At this time, big tears of grievance came out.
Shen Ruyi rushed over to take her son, hugged him tightly, and patted the little guy on the back. His voice was like a switch was turned off, and he immediately stopped crying and started humming...
Shen Ruyi felt extremely distressed and found a stone bench to sit down. She put the child on her lap and gently wiped his tears with her sleeves. She then opened the small kettle and fed him two sips of spiritual spring water to help him recover.
A woman was fished out of the lotus pond over there. She looked to be in her forties or fifties. After being fished out, she lay there, half-dead and spitting out water!
"Pingping, why don't you listen? You came here to sleep by yourself and scared the adults. Do you know that you must not do this again?"
The little guy whined in grievance, then pointed at the woman lying on the ground not far away, spitting out water and said, "Yi Yi is holding a dog, precious cat!"
