The Whole Dynasty Spoils the Tyrant’s Two-and-a-Half-Year-Old Daughter - Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Don’t Say Anything

Meanwhile, Jun Ning had just arrived at the imperial garden when she sneezed loudly. She stopped in her tracks, rubbed her nose, and mumbled, “Who’s thinking about me?”

Superstition said that sneezing once meant someone was thinking of you. Sneezing twice meant someone was badmouthing you. Sneezing three times probably meant that you were about to catch a cold.

Naturally, Jun Ning took it to heart.

Qiong Hua had been distracted by the floral scents coming from the imperial garden, but turned her attention away from it when she heard Jun Ning sneeze.

She tugged at Jun Ning’s collar and asked, “Did you get sick after washing your hair with cold water yesterday? Do you feel sick?”

In Qiong Hua’s eyes, Jun Ning was a precious and fragile thing.

She had a weak body since she was born and Qiong Hua was worried that part of that was her fault.

Jun Ning needed to be properly taken care of or she would not be able to grow up well.

So, even if she had only sneezed, it made Qiong Hua worry.

They had been weeding together the day before. Jun Ning had been sweating profusely from the weeding. When she was not paying attention, Jun Ning had washed her hair with cold water. She had been so frightened that she would get sick.

After a night of fearing that, Jun Ning was fine when she woke up. So, Qiong Hua had been relieved.

However, her sneeze just now had frightened her so much that her heart had skipped a beat.

Jun Ning turned around and saw Qiong Hua’s worried expression. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

Qiong Hua doubtfully touched Jun Ning’s forehead. After making sure that her temperature was normal, her expression was normal, and that there was no sign of illness, relief washed over her.

“Alright, Mother. Let’s keep going!”

The mother and child trudged forward slowly. When they were about to reach the cave entrance where Jun Ning and Jun Yu had agreed to meet that day, Jun Ning suddenly stopped and hurriedly pulled Qiong Hua into the nearby bushes to hide.

For the first time, Qiong Hua learned that her daugh-no, son, no, daughter, SON was really strong.

When she pulled her into the bushes, she subconsciously wanted to refuse and was not willing to enter the prickly bushes.

However, she failed to resist and Jun Ning easily pulled her into the bushes.

This was a big patch of shrubbery, and it was wide enough to provide good cover. It was more than enough to hide two people.

However, the small branches of this shrub were really prickly. Although Qiong Hua was used to working hard in The Cold Palace for these years, and her skin had become rough and thick, she still felt uncomfortable all over.

She furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, “Yiyi, what’s wrong? Why are we hiding here? Are you not going to search for your friend?”

Jun Ning put her index finger to her lips and gestured for her to keep quiet. “Mother, don’t say anything. There’s someone over there.”

“Someone’s there?”

Qiong Hua endured the prickly branches and looked up.

There was no one there. The space was wide and empty. She could not even see a fly, let alone a person.

“Yiyi, are you sure you weren’t mistaken?” “I wasn’t.”

Jun Ning pointed at the rock garden near the entrance of the cave and said, “Mother, look carefully at both sides of the rock garden. Aren’t there people there?”

Qiong Hua looked again in the direction Jun Ning was pointing in but still saw nothing.

When Jun Ning saw the confusion in Qiong Hua’s eyes, she already knew her answer.

“Mother, with your observation skills, you won’t even know if you’ve been sold.” Jun Ning shook her head worriedly and explained, “There are many cracks on the rockery next to the cave in front, and the sun is directly facing those cracks. If there are people standing behind the rockery, their shadows will be cast through the cracks and show on the plain surface.”

She pointed at the empty space in front of the rockery on the right and continued, “Look at the right corner of the rockery. Do you see someone’s shadow?”
