ally at the young child in front of Rick.
He pursed his lips and turned his face away.

Not long ago, he had mocked this young child in front of Rick, saying that the young child lacked mental power.
If he could turn back time now, he would definitely go back and caution himself not to speak recklessly.

So what if he lacked mental power?

This young child had the backing of the Imperial Royal Family!

The teacher next door was also a gossip enthusiast, and he devoured every bit of gossip about the imperial family this time.

After watching the video released by His Majesty the Emperor, he realized that the young child he had underestimated was actually being cradled by the Emperor in his arms.

It was late at night when he saw the video, and it completely dumbfounded him.

After turning his face away for a while, he still felt uneasy in his heart, so he simply walked over again and said, “Rick, here.”

He handed Rick a large handful of chocolates.

Rick: “?”

Rick’s eyelids twitched.
“What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, the type I like is not someone like you.”

The teacher next door: “?”

The teacher next door’s face turned dark.
“Don’t dream too much.
Every one of my blind date partners is better than you.
Take these chocolates and give them to the Ning child in your class.”

He gave the chocolates not to build relationships or gain favor, but purely to alleviate his own guilt.

Rick could see his intention and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Now the other had realized that he provoked Ningning, but it was too late.

The kindergarten classes proceeded as usual.
Zhan Xi had originally planned to take a day off and stay at home with Ling Qi.


But Ling Qi didn’t let him.

Ling Qi actually had a strong personality.
He could show his vulnerability to the little child last night, but he didn’t want to continue being fragile in front of the little child’s father.

“Fine, I’ll be working nearby today.
If you need me, just give me a call anytime.”

“Mm.”

After seeing off Zhan Xi, Ling Qi changed his clothes and left the house.

He didn’t go to find Ludwig.
Although Ludwig had more power and the convenience of entering the palace unhindered, he never thought of going there for this problem.

He was well aware that his ability to enter and leave the palace and talk to the Emperor of the Empire was not because of his own strength, but because of the little child.

If he went to the Emperor to plead, it would deplete the little child’s favor.

Bypassing the palace, Ling Qi hailed a cab on the way.
An hour later, he found an inconspicuous residence, which belonged to the Imperial General Mans.

He knocked on the door and walked in.

At this moment, there was still some time before Cole appeared in court.
After seeing the man in front of him, Ling Qi didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point, asking, “Can you save him?”

Mans sat in a chair, his silver long hair tied up.
His cool and handsome face showed no surprise.
He only coldly asked, “What did he use to coerce you?”

“My mother.”

Ling Qi pressed his lips, devoid of color.
He whispered, “He said that only if he’s saved he will let my mother live.”

Mans heard these words and said in a slightly cold tone, “You should know that your mother is no longer alive.
You shouldn’t believe a single word that man says.”

“But what if…”

Ling Qi raised his gaze slightly, looking at the silver-haired man in front of him who had never been worthy of being called his older brother.
He asked, “But what if what he said this time is true? What if my mother is really alive?”

“Mans, how should I gamble?”

Ling Qi had never spoken such weak words in front of Mans.
When he was a child, he was whipped by Cole until his skin split open, locked up in a dark room.
Mans happened to open the door and saw him.

At that time, in such an environment, Mans asked him, “Do you want to leave here?”

He shook his head and refused.

Later, when Mans left, he endured Cole’s confinement and abuse.
Until he reached adulthood, he never sought shelter from anyone.

Now, for the first time, he came to Mans seeking help.

Mans looked at Ling Qi, his face expressionless, but in his heart, he thought to himself, thankfully Ling Qi didn’t resemble Cole much from childhood to adulthood, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to bear looking at his face.


“If you want me to do something, show a little sincerity.”

Mans leaned back slightly against the chair, his slender and beautiful fingers casually tapping the edge of the chair.
He casually said, “That little child you’re raising is doing a good job in that aspect.”

“Learn a trick or two from him when he’s making demands to Caesar.”

As Mans’s words fell, Ling Qi’s eyes widened slightly.
He began to doubt if he had misheard.

A trick like Ningning’s…

He had naturally seen this scene, and he had seen it many times.
As long as the little child softly called him “brother,” Caesar would be defenseless and secretly give the little child formula milk.

He had caught them several times.

The current problem was that Ningning was only three years old.
How old was he? Asking him to beg like a soft little child was almost the same as killing him.

His Adam’s apple bobbed as he wanted Mans to change the terms.

But Mans refused to change it.

Mans had always been like this.
He could tease the young child without any pressure in his mind.
Now, facing the only brother he could tolerate even a little in this world, he had no mercy or sympathy.

Time passed slowly as the two of them remained deadlocked.
In the end, Ling Qi compromised.
In front of his mother’s life, he had to compromise.

“Brother.”

Ling Qi almost squeezed out the word through his teeth.
He couldn’t imitate Ningning’s soft, childish voice, so he used his own tone to call the man lazily sitting in front of him.

“Help me.”

After uttering his plea, Ling Qi’s gaze met Mans.
The other had an expression as if he didn’t expect himself to actually say it.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Mans’ lips curved slightly.
“So you can do it too.”

Ling Qi’s fingertips clenched tightly in his palm, and he remained silent.

Finally, Manson, who had been lazily sitting, stood up.
He didn’t ask Ling Qi to follow, but left the hall on his own.
During his absence, Ling Qi stood still in the same spot, without moving a single step.

It’s unknown how much time had passed.

Mans returned and said casually, “Alright, Cole’s trial will be postponed.
Before his next appearance, I will extract the truth from his mouth.”

Just like when he finished teasing the little child, he would allow the child to playfully grab his arm.

Since Ling Qi could fulfill his casually mentioned request, he wouldn’t go back on his word.
