When asked about this, even if Xiao Lizi knew the reason, he did not say it directly. Instead, he laughed and said, “Your Highness, you will know when you get there.”

“Oh,” Jun Yu replied, and obediently followed Xiao Lizi.

He was the youngest son of Emperor Yong Ning, and he was born weak, so his father did not value him much.

Although his father would go to Jiaofang Palace on every fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year to have meals with the empress and occasionally speak a few words with him, Jun Yu knew that it was just a routine visit.

They were not like ordinary father and son.

He was so distant from his father that his father had never bothered to worry about him.

After his father had woken up, he suddenly said that he missed him and wanted to see him?

Jun Yu did not feel happy that his father wanted to see him. He only felt that it was a little strange.

On the way to see Emperor Yong Ning, his stomach was in knots, and his right eyelid was twitching very badly, as if warning him that something bad was about to happen.

Xiao Lizi had no idea what was going through Jun Yu’s head. After he brought him over, he reported with a smile, “Your Majesty, the seventeenth prince has arrived.”

Emperor Yong Ning had been in a coma for so many days. Even if he woke up today, his body was still very weak, and he was still lying in bed.

When he heard that the seventeenth prince had arrived, he stretched out his hand. Xiao Lizi understood and hurriedly helped him sit up. He also placed a blanket behind him for him to lean on so that he would not strain his body.

“Seventeen, come here.” Emperor Yong Ning called out.

Jun Yu stepped forward and knelt down. “I am here to pay my respects, father.”

Emperor Yong Ning turned his head and looked at Jun Yu. He was not close to this child at all. He was so timid.

“Get up!”

Jun Yu stood up.

Emperor Yong Ning asked him what he had been reading recently, how many words he had learned, and if the empress had hired a teacher for him. After Jun Yu answered the questions one by one, they moved on to the main subject at hand.

“Seventeen, tell me honestly, who is the little brat that you met up with twice in the mountain cave on the west side of the imperial garden? How can I find him?”

Emperor Yong Ning had been on the throne for a long time, and he had practiced hiding his emotions for a long time. Basically, no one could see how he was truly feeling. However, at this moment, because he had been teased so badly by Jun Ning a few times in a row, his emotions were written all over his face when he spoke about her.

Jun Yu looked at his father’s face, which was even colder than his mother’s when she was angry, and he clenched his fist tightly. He looked like he could hit someone at any moment. He finally understood why his father had suddenly asked him to come.

He was missing him? That was not the case. He was obviously trying to get information about his boss from him so that he could harm his boss.

Why did Jun Yu reach that conclusion?

Since he had grown up with the empress, he could keenly sense the emotions of the people around him, whether they were good or bad. He could also judge whether such emotions were beneficial or harmful to him.

Although his father did not show any negative emotions directed at him, he did show disdain for his boss.

Therefore, in order to protect his boss, he would definitely not answer these questions.

He shook his head and continued to play dumb, continuing to be a taciturn person.
