The little prince, who was successfully bewitched by Yun Jiangli, had his fur blown up, but it suddenly calmed down.
Looking at the pair of enchanting eyes in front of him, Yan Muning almost blurted out: I will give myself to you!
Fortunately, the last bit of rationality he had held on tightly to the little prince. In the end, he just swallowed his saliva, nodded, and said, “Alr-alright.”
Seeing the youth agree so readily, Yun Jiangli felt even more complicated. It seemed that this guy was not very smart. He didn’t know how tolerant his family members were. How could they let him come out on his own? Aren’t they afraid that he would be kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives?
.
At the same time, far away in the capital, the current emperor, who had just heard the news from Prince An Mansion, suddenly felt his nose itchy and sneezed twice.
Eunuch Li, who was standing by in shock, quickly served hot tea and asked if he could summon the imperial physician to take a look.
The young emperor waved his hand, disgusted by his fuss.
It was just a sneeze, why should they alarm the Imperial Medical? He felt a little strange in his heart, and he was afraid that it was that brat Lao Qi who was cursing him just now!
It’s not that he was just making random guesses.
Mainly, he doesn’t sleep at night and dares to curse. There’s no one else besides him.
After the morning court session the next day, the Emperor left Prince Cheng alone.
“You all retreat first.”
The emperor, who was sitting behind his desk, waved his hand, and Eunuch Li and a group of eunuchs retreated out of the hall.
There were only two brothers left in the entire Linhua Palace.
“Someone from Lao Qi’s residence came last night.” The emperor raised his hand and pointed to the side, “Sit down. It’s just you and me here. There’s no need to be so restrained.”
Prince Cheng, Yan Muchen, is the fifth prince of the late emperor. He is the most capable right-hand man of the current emperor and is responsible for the defense of the capital.
Because his mother concubine died of dystocia when giving birth to him, he was raised by the late Empress since he was young and grew up with the Emperor, who was then the Crown Prince, and they had a very deep relationship. Since ascending the throne, the Emperor has always been accustomed to discussing matters of all sizes with him.
“Thank you, Emperor Brother.” Prince Cheng still expressed his gratitude politely before sitting down.
“Is there any news about Muning?”
When the emperor mentioned this, he was confused: “His news my foot…”
“Cough, cough.” Prince Cheng lowered his eyes and cleared his throat.
“There is no news about him yet.” The emperor swallowed back the words he wanted to curse the brat.
In front of outsiders, the current emperor has been a smart, polite, knowledgeable, and diligent person since he was young. Only those who are close to him know that when the emperor is facing his own brothers, all his gentleness, humility, and intelligence will disappear.
In fact, it is not just the current Emperor who is like this. Even the late Emperor, the late Empress, the princes, and the heirs of each family, one by one, all have no temper with His Royal Highness Prince An.
Yan Muning has been very clever since he was a child. He is both smart and clever. Relying on his good looks, he can be said to be quite reckless.
He acts so cute, pretends to be adorable and pitiful, is extremely sweet-talking, and can make people angry to death.
In short, no one can cure him.
“You say! How can he be so bold? With so few guards around him, he dares to split his troops into three groups. If something goes wrong… You say, what should we do?”
The Emperor was so angry when he mentioned this matter. God knows how scared he was when Shiyi, who was beside Yan Muning, brought him the news.
“Muning is always smart and has the skills to protect himself. He will be fine. Don’t worry, Emperor Brother.”
“As for this news, what does Emperor Brother plan to do?” Prince Cheng was much calmer in comparison.
Talking about business, the young emperor’s expression became serious, and the pressure of the superior was fully revealed. He tapped his fingers on the table a few times and said, “I called you here for this matter.”
“The most trusted person among you, send out two teams in secret.”
“Chendi1Chendi is a self addressed of a younger brother to his imperial brother. understands.” Prince Cheng responded immediately.
The emperor hesitated for a moment, still worried, and instructed: “Especially the team that is going to look for Lao Qi, they must not let any news leak out.”
“Don’t worry, Emperor Brother. Chendi will definitely bring Muning back safely.”
.
Early in the morning, just as the sky was getting light, Yan Muning was awakened by the white sparrow.
In a daze, he raised his hand to catch the little bird that was hitting his head with its short beak and put it aside, muttering, “You’ve become as fat as a ball, can you please stop thinking about eating…”
The little prince turned over and covered his head, preparing to continue sleeping, but the hungry white bird kept rubbing against his face and poking it.
Yan Muning was completely awakened. He feels irritated when he wakes up, and walks towards the small kitchen with his sleepy eyes with the Fatty in his hand.
He stumbled along the way and was nearly tripped by his clothes several times.
Yun Jiangli, who was decocting medicine in the kitchen, first heard a burst of chaotic footsteps and then saw a youth who was so sleepy that he could not even open his eyes, appear at the door.
When he turned the corner to enter the room, he first stumbled on the door sill, and then his shoulder hit the door frame.
Yun Jiangli: He was about to help, but he saw the youth rubbing his hurt shoulder with a grin on his face and groping to the table with half-closed eyes. He put down the little bird in his hand, grabbed some rice, and muttered, “Eat, you’re so fat that I can hardly tell your head from your butt anymore…”
Yun Jiangli’s lips curled up slightly. It seemed that he was woken up unwillingly.
“Xiao Qi.” He looked at the youth’s messy clothes and said, “It’s cool in the morning, put on your clothes properly.”
Yan Muning, who heard the big beauty’s voice, opened his eyes and blinked hard: “Physician Jiang, you got up so early ah!”
After saying that, he couldn’t help but yawn with his mouth wide open.
“What do you want to eat for breakfast?” Looking at the youth yawning, Yun Jiangli moved his shoulders and neck lazily.
“How about a braised little bird?” Yan Muning said with gritted teeth as he looked at the white sparrow happily eating rice on the table.
The chubby little bird seemed to understand. It raised its head and stared at Yan Muning with its two small black eyes, as if it wanted to rush up and fight.
Yun Jiangli didn’t intend to get involved in the feud between these two little guys. He raised his hand and gently supported Yan Muning’s back, pushing him a few steps outside: “It’s still early, go lie down for a while, and then we’ll have breakfast and go into the city.”
The little prince then remembered that they had to go into Jinzhou City today.
Back in the bedroom, Yan Muning was no longer sleepy. He sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes lowered, thinking.
He had never been to Jinzhou, and he didn’t know if there were any messengers in the city or not either. How could he get any news from the capital?
Although based on the assassins’ behavior last night, he guessed that the news of the garrison should have been sent to the capital.
But his emperor brother certainly couldn’t come to look for him in a high-profile manner. At that time, he was being chased by assassins and had to change routes again and again. Although he tried his best to leave marks along the way, but it shouldn’t be easy either.
He guessed, if his fifth brother’s men were coming, what should he do?
Besides, there are more important things right now ah!
How can he win over the big beauty before returning to the capital?
The little prince was worried.
.
It was his first time in Jinzhou City. The streets in the city looked clean and tidy. Although it was not prosperous, it had a unique, simple taste, which was very different from the capital.
Jinzhou City is not big. Yan Muning followed Yun Jiangli and walked through several streets before stopping in front of a house.
Yan Muning looked at the house in front of him, which was much larger than the small courtyards in the suburbs, and thought to himself that the big beauty was indeed from a wealthy family.
This house is big, so there are naturally many rooms. He guesses that he can’t sleep in the same bedroom with the big beauty anymore.
The matter of kidnapping the princess consort is now imminent, and he must seize the opportunity to get along with him ah!
The little prince racked his brains to figure out what to do next.
Although he wanted to stay in the big beauty’s bedroom, but he also felt that he was a young man full of vigor and vitality, and he had not been able to accurately realize his own feelings before.
Now that he has confirmed his feelings, if he still lets such a delicious big beauty wander around in front of him, what if…
What if he loses control and does something beastly…
Cough, cough, although he’s not that kind of person, but his sweetheart is so tempting!
No, no, no, he can’t do something that will make the big beauty sad.
The little prince clenched his fists firmly, thinking that he should keep a certain distance first, and the right way is to use his charm to impress the big beauty!
Yun Jiangli led Yan Muning into the house. After several sentences without getting a response from the youth, he stopped suspiciously and looked at the frowning person behind him.
“Xiao Qi?” Yun Jiangli was puzzled. The boy seemed to be worried about something.
“Ah?” Yan Muning suddenly came back to his senses, and just as he clenched his fists firmly, he saw the big beauty bend slightly and move closer.
Yan Muning’s face turned red, and the unruly heart in his chest began to jump around again as the big beauty approached.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?” Yun Jiangli raised his hand and touched the youth’s forehead, but didn’t think there was anything wrong.
The little prince’s face turned even redder, he swallowed and took a step back. “No, no ah.”
The big beauty narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “Did you hear everything I just said then?”
Yan Muning felt a little guilty: “I, I didn’t hear it clearly just now, what did Physician Jiang say?”
Yun Jiangli sighed and said helplessly, “I mean, I am the only one living in this house on weekdays. Although there are four rooms, but two of them are used as pharmacies by me, and the remaining one is a study and another is a bedroom.”
“So, I have to inconvenience you into living in the same room with me.”
A certain little prince who just decided to keep a safe distance: “……”
If I ever act like a beast, you can’t blame me.
The author has something to say:
The Emperor: Lao Qi, this little bastard…%%——beep——
Yan Muning: A—chuuu!
Mouyou: Oops, I misunderstood ah, Your Majesty. It was not Lao Qi who scolded you just now, it was Lao Qi’s family2Family here refers to his partner!
