TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

Chapter 201 Yixiu 70

After a few screams, the person's mouth was full of blood, and the severe pain made her faint completely.

The other guards were searching the yard to see if there were any other pandas hidden.

Two of them dragged the unconscious woman away to prevent her bloody appearance from offending Xia Dongchun's eyes, while whispering to each other.

"Why are these people so ugly? Not only do they smell, but they're also as white as corpses. I wonder if they have any disease."

"Never mind, just throw it away."

The accompanying doctor stepped forward and took the little guys away. Perhaps because they felt that they had no ill intentions, the pandas struggled much less vigorously.

Xia Dongchun turned his eyes away and dared not look again.

Tuanzi was much smarter than them at this time. He was not very brave at first and would run up the tree at the slightest movement.

If someone treats it fiercely, Tuanzi will become even fiercer and curse back with bared teeth.

When have I ever suffered such injustice?

In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, Xia Dongchun asked someone to take the only sober person to the government office.

The Queen Mother sent someone here, and this matter was no secret.

Some court officials also tried to impeach her, but not only did the empress not use the money from the Imperial Household Department, she also posed no threat, so no one would offend her for no reason.

The emperor was unwilling to argue with the queen over such a small matter.

He had become accustomed to the queen's abnormal behavior. Since he could not depose her, he could only turn a blind eye to it and save himself from getting angry.

The Queen's edict was still very important here, and soon the accomplices hiding in the city were captured.

Their actions were very covert, with special people using money to gather information. Only strong and robust people would participate in the hunt, and that group had all been dealt with.

The remaining people have already prepared to evacuate and will set off soon after they return.

But I didn't expect to hear the news of my companion's death.

Such excitement is rare, and many people came to watch the excitement on the way to the execution ground.

"Who are these people? They look weird. What have they done wrong?"

"The Queen once said that the black and white bears should not be hunted at will. I don't know what these people were thinking. They came here specifically to steal their cubs, and now they are caught."

"Oh, there's no point in catching wild beasts, really..."

"The officials said that if you see someone in the wild in the future, you are not allowed to tell anyone, especially these strange-looking foreigners."

"The Queen is kind-hearted and gave us medicine for free before. Of course we have to listen to her."

……

The county magistrate in the government office looked at his calm superior in confusion, "Sir, the Empress's decree did not say that they committed a capital crime."

"These people are coastal merchants. Will we get into trouble?"

The portly magistrate had a playful smile on his face.

"What are you afraid of? Merchants are not allowed to go out to sea these days. These are all foreigners. First, they have no household registration, and second, no merchant guarantees. Who is afraid of them?"

"If we do well and please the higher-ups, we won't have to stay here anymore."

"By the way, all the gold and silver we found has been delivered. Let's count them and prepare to store them."

The county magistrate also laughed when he heard this. With this unexpected wealth, they could have a good New Year.

He only knew that there were some coastal families behind these businessmen, and for a moment he forgot that this was an illegal activity.

They dared not say anything even though the person died.

Xia Dongchun felt relieved when he saw that the matter was resolved, and wrote a letter to tell Yixiu what had happened on his side.

She left a few little bears behind to recuperate.

The guards reported that the three little bears had left with their mother.

The two big bears that were brought that day were easily knocked down by Tuanzi, so no trouble was caused.

After the injuries of several red pandas heal, they will need to be released back into the forest.

The cuteness of the panda cubs made Xia Dongchun forget the previous unhappiness and immerse herself in the joy of taking care of the cubs.

At first she had only one dumpling, but now she has three, and her happiness is doubled.

With the doctor's careful care, the three little guys quickly recovered.

It's time for them to leave.

Xia Dongchun still held a glimmer of hope. If the big bear hadn't come looking for her, she could have taken them all back with good reason.

After spending some time together, she was reluctant to leave and followed everyone to the mountains. The nearest part was Tuanzi's territory.

They have to go further.

Unexpectedly, not long after walking out, Tuanzi stopped, rubbed against a big tree nearby, and started calling towards the distance.

After coming down from the tree, it refused to move forward.

Xia Dongchun walked up and rubbed Tuanzi's big head a few times, then stuffed an apple into its mouth.

"If you don't want to leave, then don't leave. Let's take a break."

"Master, Tuanzi just looked like he was giving a message, saying that a mother bear would be here soon."

"Is that so? Then our group has friends here."

The three little bears followed and climbed out of the basket, circling around the dumpling.

She whimpered softly, trying to taste the fruit in Tuanzi's mouth.

Without exception, they were all blocked.

When Xia Dongchun wanted to go up and hug them, he was yelled at a few times. It was obvious that they trusted this fellow more.

"He's not big, but he has a big temper. Why didn't he bite people before?"

She poked the smallest panda's forehead with her finger and knocked it to the ground with force.

See it get up and bark with its teeth barked, then be pushed down again.

In anger, he jumped up, slapped the ground hard, turned around and ran away.

The other two didn't understand what was going on, so they looked around and followed.

Tuanzi glanced up, growled a few words, and continued to enjoy his food peacefully.

When the little guys heard the sound, they paused for a few times and did not move forward. They stopped not far away and started playing.

This made Xia Dongchun, who was originally planning to bring them back, sit back down again.

The guards also took the time to rest on the spot.

After witnessing Tuanzi's fighting ability with their own eyes, they were no longer as cautious as before.

Here they are the ones protected by Tuanzi.

After a while, there was movement not far away.

There was a rustling sound of leaves, the movements were light but not slow, and it was obvious that they were getting closer.

Tuanzi twitched his nose, quickly finished the food in his hand, stood up and walked over there.

After walking a few steps and finding that the little bears were not keeping up, he turned around and pushed them to the front.

Xia Dongchun swore that she never thought she would see so many big bears at once. Three big bears slowly approached from different directions, while keeping a corresponding distance.

Then the group communicated in their own way, and the big bears walked farther and farther with their babies.

Xia Dongchun behind him was stunned. She had heard that this kind of bear was very ferocious. When would they be able to get along with it like this?

If she had experienced it, she would know that no matter what species, strong military power represents the right to speak.

This is especially true for wild animals living in the wild.

Xia Dongchun tilted his head to look at the other motionless big bear, then turned to ask Shen Yue.

"Do you think Tuanzi will leave his own legend among the pandas in this forest? In the future, every big bear who has lost their child will come and look for it."

Shen Yue also laughed when he thought of Tuanzi's recent performance.

"Maybe. After all, there are already quite a few of them. But I'll definitely disappoint them in the future."

"Why doesn't this one leave?"

Seeing that the largest one kept circling around Tuanzi, the guards wanted to go forward but did not dare to act rashly and could only watch from afar.

In the end, it was Xia Dongchun who called Tuanzi back.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it was time for them to return to Beijing.

Tuanzi is no longer as anxious as before and is much less active. Xia Dongchun heard from Yixiu that this situation is most likely due to the birth of cubs.

Xia Dongchun had also ordered people to make preparations long ago, even though Yixiu had said that Tuanzi was in good health and nothing would go wrong.

But in her opinion, having a baby requires more careful care.

The journey was not peaceful. Every time Tuanzi took a break, he would call out towards the distance, and the big bear would always appear and rub against Tuanzi.

Anyone can see how they are related.

The guards could sense that Big Bear was not friendly to them, and even had some hostility. If it weren't for Tuanzi, the two sides would have probably started fighting long ago.

Xia Dongchun sat in the distance, gnawing at the roast chicken in his hand with indignation, his eyes shooting into the distance like sharp swords.

"The Queen clearly said that a pregnant panda doesn't need a male bear anymore. What does it mean? It's followed me all this way. I don't agree with this marriage!!"

"Master, this...how about we travel overnight?"

Shen Yue knew that Xia Dongchun liked these things very much and did not suggest harming it.

"Still rushing? Tuanzi must be feeling uncomfortable. You all said before that it would be fine if you walked a little further away, but now you're still following us after we've already walked most of the way."

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xia Dongchun had to ask someone to prepare a new cage.

"I didn't expect that Tuanzi would start a family after just one trip. Not only does he have cubs, but he also has a partner."

"That way I won't have to torment you so often in the future."

Xia Dongchun rubbed Tuanzi's head and symbolically asked for his opinion, but he didn't expect that the other party nodded in a serious manner.

This made Xia Dongchun even more depressed, and she rubbed her chubby ears with greater strength.

"If you want it, then let's do it this way. We can change it when you don't like it anymore."

The next day, after the cage was ready, the big bear seemed very interested. He sniffed back and forth and then went in on his own initiative. He also bleated at Tuanzi, and you could tell he was in a good mood.

"Okay, then I'll take you back with me. From now on, you'll be called Yuanzi."

Xia Dongchun patted the cage, sighed deeply and had to compromise. He didn't think that the name he chose was too casual at all.

After returning to the capital, Tuanzi and his family were sent directly to the Old Summer Palace. After receiving the news, Yixiu asked the system to arrange the same meal for Yuanzi.

Even if you are not a social animal, it is good to have the company of others of the same kind.

An Lingrong was shocked when she suddenly saw Xia Dongchun in Jingyang Palace.

She took a few steps forward and pulled him back into her room, pinching Xia Dongchun's chin and looking him left and right.

"My ancestors, you suffered a lot during your trip, didn't you? Didn't you make good use of the things I gave you?"

"Didn't the Xia family arrange someone to take care of you?"

Xia Dongchun forcefully took An Lingrong's hand away, frowning and saying dissatisfiedly, "You're not exaggerating like that. I'm fine."

She leaned in front of the mirror and looked at herself carefully. It wasn't that bad, just not as white and tender as before.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to take good care of the child, but she just wants to have some fun when she finally gets to go out.

If you run around all day, no matter how diligently you use those things, the results won't be very good.

Seeing her like this, An Lingrong chuckled and did not continue to attack her. She turned around to pack her things and packed a full box for Xia Dongchun.

"Looks like he's in better spirits. It's not all in vain."

"I've just mixed some osmanthus scented water for bathing. Take it home and try it. It'll always help you recover before you go to summer vacation."

Xia Dongchun was not polite and asked Baojuan to bring in some snacks.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had endless things to talk about. Although An Lingrong had a poor family when she was young, she had never experienced these things, so she was fascinated by what they said for a while.

"No wonder you seem to have gained some weight. It turns out you eat so well outside."

Xia Dongchun chuckled, "It's a pity that this thing has to be made locally and with the freshest ingredients to be delicious. But don't worry, I have prepared your gifts and I guarantee you will be satisfied."

"How have you been doing these days while I'm away from the palace? Is Yu An okay?"

"It's all good. Yu An was tired from playing and went to bed early."

Xia Dongchun was so thirsty from talking that he slowly drank the sweet soup that was brought to him.

After tasting it, he paused for a moment, said "hmm" and drank a few more sips.

"Lychee? It doesn't taste like it was prepared. Only March Red can be shipped to the capital at this time of year, right?"

"In recent years, there have been more and more kinds of fruits in Lingnan, but they are quite expensive. It seems that you are better off without me..."

Xia Dongchun pursed his lips and looked lost.

"What nonsense are you talking about! I was wrong to think of you." An Lingrong tapped the other person's forehead with her fan.

"Hurry up and drink it. This is a gift from Concubine Hua. You know, she is very wealthy, so this amount of money is nothing."

When Xia Dongchun heard this, he forgot what he was feeling awkward about and quickly asked.

"My Lady, how do you two know each other so well? Isn't it said that she hardly ever goes out?"

An Lingrong raised her hands with a smile, and the patterns on her fingertips were no longer as simple as before.

"I don't know why, but there are many people in the palace, but there are even more people who are shut away and living their own lives."

"Last time, Concubine Xiang had her nails done by me. Not long after, Concubine Gui summoned me. What woman doesn't love beauty? The maids I trained have first-class skills."

"Even Concubine Duan has tried several times. They can't just bypass me and order the people from Jingyang Palace around."

"Isn't that a bargain for me?"

Listening to An Lingrong turning her hobby into a tool for profit, Xia Dongchun couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Amazing! I told you that the things you make are useful. Is there anyone in the palace with better popularity than you?"

"Look at you. I'll give you all the good things first."

Xia Dongchun raised his chin and snorted coldly, "That's more like it."

After saying this, he leaned closer to An Lingrong in a mysterious manner, "The Emperor is not angry. After all, he can't even enter the palaces of these concubines."

After Concubine Li fell out of favor, she refused to go out. Concubine Xiang and Concubine Xin had to take care of the princess, and even Concubine Jing fell ill several times.
