Jiang Nuo opened his eyes wide, turned around, and ran outside, only to be caught by Sui Heng.
Sui Heng asked Shi Fang to go out, put the little baby on his lap, and directly started to pick up the little one’s pants.
Then, Sui Heng was stunned.
There is indeed a red birthmark on the pink and tender buttocks, located on the left side.
Is this little thing really is—
Sui Heng was stunned when his arm suddenly hurt. He lowered his head and saw the little baby fiercely biting his arm.
No matter how fierce the little baby is, he still doesn’t have much strength.
It’s just that his biting habit is exactly the same as his.
Sui Heng chuckled and directly picked up the little thing and sat him on his lap, staring at his eyes, nose, and mouth curiously. Then he snapped his fingers and said, “Smile once.”
Jiang Nuo didn’t smile and bit this darned guy.
Sui Heng didn’t care either.
“So what if you can bite?”
“Even if you bite, you’ll still have to call Gu father.”
“If you dare to be disobedient, Gu will also hit you.”
The little baby once again angrily opened his eyes wide, as if he could understand human language.
Sui Heng looked at the little baby and thought to himself, It was truly his little baby, he’s really beautiful.
He snapped his fingers again, but the little baby remained expressionless.
Sui Heng placed the little kiddo on the bed and said, “Tonight, Gu will let you sleep on Gu’s big bed. How about that?”
The little kiddo glanced at him, turned his head arrogantly, and then climbed out of bed, clattering towards his own small bed.
Sui Heng: “……”
Seeing the little boy lying down honestly, Sui Heng walked out of the tent with his hands behind his back.
Too many things had happened today, one more ridiculous and outrageous than the other, and he needed to calm down.
Shi Fang was still guarding the outside, waiting to take Jiang Nuo back. Now, for the sake of convenience, Jiang Nuo has been moved to Xiao Junwang, Sui Zhang’s tent, and sleep with him.
Shi Fang thinks, His Highness’s mood at this moment should be quite complicated and conflicted. After all, the little kiddo is the Xiao Huangsun of the Jiang Empire, and the rumored hypocritical and ugly Crown Prince of the Jiang Empire is actually the young gentleman who has been missing for two years.
Shi Fang has been shocked by this matter for a whole day already.
His Highness loves the young gentleman so much, but the young gentleman has a child with someone else.
His Highness suddenly asked him to bring the little kiddo over in the middle of the night, with an unkind look on his face. Shi Fang was very worried that His Highness would become angry, and directly choke the little kiddo to death.
Upon seeing Sui Heng come out, Shi Fang immediately approached cautiously to seek instructions.
Sui Heng said, “It’s alright, just let him sleep in Gu’s tent directly. From today on, there’s no need to carry him back.”
Shi Fang was taken aback.
Because not only did His Highness appear not angry, but he also had a smile on his lips, with some signs of spring breeze on his face as well.
Shi Fang was confused and unable to understand, the Crown Prince of the Jiang Empire had a beautiful and cute child with someone else. What is His Highness happy about?
Sui Heng walked away with his hands behind his back.
Xu Qiao was sleeping in a daze when he suddenly felt his shoulder being pushed down. When he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing by the bed, silent and ghostly, staring down at him in the middle of the night.
Xu Qiao almost had a heart attack, so he quickly sat up in his cloak, lit the light, and looked at the unwelcome guest in the tent. He was shocked and asked, “Your Highness can just send someone to call this subordinate if you need anything, why did Your Highness come here in person?”
Sui Heng sat leisurely behind the table and said, “There are things in Gu’s heart that Gu can’t talk to others about. Gu could only come to you.”
Xu Qiao: “……”
Xu Qiao was extremely overwhelmed, he was really surprised.
He glanced at the many ribbons on Sui Heng’s right hand and cautiously asked, “Has Your Highness sneaked into the Jiang Empire’s main camp?”
Sui Heng glanced at him slyly.
“What sneak?”
“Gu went in there openly, he left the door open for Gu on purpose.”
“Rounding up, it’s kind of like he invited Gu to go.”
“……”
Xu Qiao didn’t expect that Sui Heng had actually gone there. The Crown Prince, the Commander of the Three Armies, and the famous Commander of the Qinglang Battalion, who was known for its blood slaughter, secretly sneaked into the enemy Commander’s place in the middle of the night and spread rumors. What is this called?
Xu Qiao had to advise.
“The subordinate knows that Your Highness misses… cough, the former person. But now that the two armies are at war, the situation is dangerous, and Your Highness has a noble identity. If something unexpected happens, what should we do?”
Sui Heng thinks, he didn’t want to go either, but if he didn’t go, he might go crazy. God knows, today at the foot of Muyun Pass, he saw him walking out in a green robe, elegant and calm, and telling him that he was Jiang Rongyu. What waves of shock and self-doubt did he experience in his mind?
At that moment, even though he knew that he was Jiang Rongyu, he couldn’t help but want to pinch his waist and hold him in his arms. If it weren’t for the fact that the two armies were at war, in full view of the public, and that he had to be mindful of the repercussions, he might have actually done that.
How could he be willing to put it back like that?
“Don’t worry, Gu will just try not to go as much as possible in the future.”
Sui Heng perfunctorily said a sentence.
Xu Qiao didn’t even trust the word “as much as possible”, but since Sui Heng said so, he couldn’t refute it.
Xu Qiao sat down opposite him and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
At such times, drinking alcohol can actually boost the mood. However, according to the Qinglang Battalion’s rules, during the battle, one should not touch any alcohol. As a Commander and a General, they naturally had to set an example and strictly follow the rules.
Xu Qiao asked, “The subordinate wonders what Your Highness has in heart that you need to tell the subordinates?”
In fact, without needing Sui Heng to say it, Xu Qiao could also guess that it was nothing more than the matter of the Crown Prince of Jiang.
It was something that even he, an outsider, was shocked and shaken by, not to mention His Highness.
Sui Heng touched the tea cup and leisurely sipped it, saying, “If there were someone who deceived you, not only your body but also your heart, treating you like a fool and playing around, but one day, he suddenly told you that he gave birth to a beautiful and lovely son for you. What would you do?”
After finishing, Sui Heng said, “Of course, Gu is just giving an example, so you must not substitute it randomly.”
“……”
Xu Qiao’s expression was slightly strange: “Your Highness has a son?”
Sui Heng almost laughed out loud, but he still maintained a stern face and said, “When did Gu say that?”
“Don’t speculate recklessly. First of all, what would happen if it were you in this situation?”
Xu Qiao immediately said, “Of course the subordinate will be happy.”
“Why happy?”
“Your Highness, think about it, in this era, giving birth to a child is a matter of life and death. If a woman is willing to conceive a child for Your Highness, she must have a deep affection for Your Highness and find it difficult to extricate herself.”
“Love is deeply rooted, and it is difficult to extricate oneself…”
Sui Heng savored these two words and said, “You said it well.”
Sui Heng then said, “What if this person is a man?”
Xue Qiao: “……”
Xu Qiao was shocked. “The Crown Prince of Jiang gave birth to a son for Your Highness?”
Sui Heng glanced at him, “Did Gu say it?”
“No, no, the subordinate is just making random guesses.”
“The subordinate was just wondering, how could a man possibly give birth to a child?”
Sui Heng said, “This is exactly what Gu doesn’t understand. However, he has given Gu a reasonable explanation, and Gu has also tested the birthmark on that little baby’s body.”
Xu Qiao said, “So, the Jiang Empire’s Xiao Huangsun is really Your Highness’s son?”
Sui Heng looked at him.
Xu Qiao thought he was going to deny it again, but to his surprise, Sui Heng suddenly smiled proudly and asked, “How is it? Isn’t he good-looking?”
Xu Qiao: “……”
Xu Qiao suddenly woke up and wasn’t sleepy anymore.
“Is what Your Highness said true? Does Your Highness really have an heir? This is such a big matter, shouldn’t it be reported to Your Majesty or the Empress?”
Sui Heng gave him a serious look.
“If you dare to speak nonsense, Gu will immediately dispatch you to the North.”
Xu Qiao asked, “Then what does Your Highness intend to do?”
If that Xiao Huangsun of the Jiang Empire is really His Highness and the Crown Prince of Jiang’s child, how can they fight this battle? But 300,000 troops are already at the foot of the city, ready to take action. If they don’t fight, how will it end?
“If Gu had thought about it, what would Gu come to you for?”
Sui Heng’s eyes were bright and sharp, and he had quickly regained his usual calm complexion.
Although it is a happy occasion, but the little baby has a special identity, he must first deal with the current situation and make a thorough plan.
Xu Qiao said, “We can’t fight, nor can we admit defeat, we can only negotiate peace.”
Sui Heng immediately denied, “No way. Only when one side is defeated will there be a meeting and peace. How do we suddenly reach a peaceful agreement in this situation? Who do you want to bring it up first? Even if we don’t fight this battle, Gu still can’t trample 300,000 soldiers’ faces on the ground. Moreover, Gu also doesn’t want to force him to bring it up first, Gu doesn’t want to wrong him.”
Moreover, if they really negotiate peace, there are more than a thousand miles between the south and the north. Is he going to be a widow?
Xu Qiao was also at his wits’ end.
“And what does Your Highness want? To continue the fight?”
“But can Your Highness still handle it?”
Sui Heng was a little unhappy at the moment. “Why can’t Gu handle it? Wasn’t he the one who teased and deceived Gu in the first place?”
Xu Qiao thinks to himself.
If you really wanted to do it, you wouldn’t have retreated today.
Sui Heng said, “This matter can’t be delayed. Hurry up and flip through the book, look for similar cases in the past, and give Gu some reference.”
Xu Qiao: “Then Your Highness?”
“Gu will go out and take a look to calm down. Maybe a sudden inspiration will flash and Gu will come up with a solution.”
“……”
After Jiang Yun drank the warm water and read a book for a while, he lay down again, ready to sleep for a while longer until dawn.
Unexpectedly, shortly after he closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that someone was approaching from behind. Jiang Yun was very surprised and turned around to see Sui Heng standing by the bedside.
“……”
Jiang Yun originally thought that he could at least hold on until tomorrow.
Jiang Yun thought of something and asked, “Your Highness has verified it?”
Sui Heng nodded coldly and then gestured for Jiang Yun to move inside with his eyes.
Jiang Yun did as he was told, and Sui Heng immediately lay on the outside with his arms resting on his pillow. He forcefully pulled half of the blanket from Jiang Yun’s body and covered himself.
Jiang Yun observed his demeanor and asked, “How was your verification?”
Sui Heng did not answer, but instead raised his eyebrows and asked, “How was your reflection going?”
Jiang Yun was speechless.
He had only left for less than an hour.
Sui Heng frowned. “You have not reflected at all?”
He snorted coldly and threatened, “Gu’s family rules are very strict. If you dare to be so perfunctory, Gu must punish you properly now. Let’s just give it a beating first, how about that?”
Jiang Yun was afraid that he would be serious, so he said, “I reflected a little bit.”
“Oh?”
Sui Heng raised his eyebrows with interest.
“What have you been reflecting on?”
Jiang Yun stood up and, before Sui Heng could react, he lightly kissed his forehead, saying, “I should have told Your Highness the truth earlier.”
“How was Your Highness testing?”
Sui Heng’s mind was still confused.
It had been too long since he had enjoyed such a touch, but he still kept his face stern, “There is indeed a birthmark. However, you are too cunning. After dawn, Gu will have to find another physician for examination to prevent you from deceiving Gu with tricks.”
Jiang Yun was not surprised that he was suspicious.
But Jiang Yun was more worried about the little boy’s life, so he asked, “What do you feed him daily?”
