Chapter 133 Charging Once Again 3 ” (2/2)

After the former king passed away, this old queen’s been confining herself to this isolated section of the palace without ever stepping foot to the outside world. Aside from Lanyue (Bai Yan’s mother) coming to visit while she was still alive, none would ever come here. Then once even Lanyue passed away, this old queen literally stopped smiling altogether…

“Good child, promise me you must keep this golden bracelet well so you don’t lose it,” the dowager meaningfully states this.

Doing as told, Bai Xiachen received the gift and revealed his usual innocent smile, “Thank you beautiful Grandma Queen.”

“Let me direct Xiao Mei to take you outside to play. I’m sure you would be bored with us here.”

(Note: Xiao Mei means Little Plum Flower. Its like the most common name people use for maids in Chinese dramas to the point it’s stale and bland.)

Xiao Mei was the old granny in service to the dowager, making her position in the palace very special and unusual. With her by the kid’s side, it’s safe to assume none would dare try anything harmful, less they wish to incur the wrath of the old queen.

“Granny, all these beautiful ladies and sisters should be very tired too after working so hard.” His voice soft and convincing: “I know you are worried about me, but I am always very good and obedient. I’m sure no one will make trouble for me.”

“This…” Wanting to say some more, the old queen was stopped by Bai Yan before she can say anything else.

“Your Grace, don’t worry, Xiachen will be fine on his own so you need not fret for his safety.”

Her son had always been the type to know his limits, hence the reason why she can be so assured he be fine.

“Very well then,” relenting, the old queen did as the pair wished. “Then go ahead and play by yourself as you wish. If something happens though, remember to bring out the bracelet I gave you. Seeing the bracelet is equal to seeing me.”

“I understand.” Plucking the baby tiger down from his shoulder, the boy shifts his friend into his crossed arms to make traveling easier.

Once outside though, he immediately began to ponder his next move, Which way to that evil woman’s place?
