Before Yu Wan went to bed, she went to the three little eggs’ room. Er’bao and Xiaobao were already asleep, and Dabao was stirring his little milk bottle.
Their little milk bottles were all modified by Yu Wan from sheepskin. Their durability was not as good as the real milk bottles in her previous life. Yu Wan would regularly change them. However, she did not know if it was her imagination, but Dabao’s little milk bottles were clearly more used than Er’bao and Xiaobao.
“You’re still awake? What’s wrong?” Yu Wan walked over and stroked her son’s little head.
Dabao still didn’t speak, but after living with Prince Yan for so long and Prince Yan teaching Little Bruiser, he would occasionally listen from the side and actually learned to write.
Dabao took a pen and paper and wrote, “The milk bottle is broken. I fix.”
Yu Wan was amused. Why did her son’s familiar tone make her want to laugh? He sounded like a little adult. Yu Wan teased him, “You even know how to fix milk bottles. You’re so impressive.”
Dabao nodded. He was just that impressive.
Aiyo, my son is so cute. Yu Wan was about to die of cuteness. She couldn’t help but laugh. “Do you eat more than your two younger brothers? Why are their milk bottles still fine, but yours is already broken?”
Dabao stopped talking. He did eat more than his two younger brothers, but he did not eat it. Dabao was worried that his glorious image would collapse if he was discovered to be his sister’s wet nurse. He gritted his teeth and did not say anything.
His little guilty conscience was written all over his face. However, Yu Wan did not think about Yan Xiaosi. She only felt that Dabao was guilty because he had used his milk bottle more, and in the end, she was the one who criticized him. Yu Wan definitely did not blame her son. She was just teasing him. It was a milk bottle. If it was broken, she could make it for him. Her heart did not ache!
Yu Wan rubbed his little head. “Alright, alright. Don’t be sad. I don’t mean anything else. I’ll make a few more for you tomorrow.” Dabao shook his head. “I know how to fix it.”
Yu Wan was stunned. “..Alright, you can fix it.”
Even so, Yu Wan still returned to her room and made a new baby bottle for her son overnight.
Although the incident in the Young Master Manor was big, there were no neighbors in the Young Master Manor, so other than the servants in the Young Master Manor, outsiders did not know what was going on inside.
There were as many memorials as snowflakes in the court. Prince Yan had read them all in batches. He did not deliberately imitate Yan Jiuchao’s handwriting, and many familiar ministers recognized his handwriting. However, no one suspected that Yan Jiuchao could not deal with the memorials for personal reasons. They all felt that Yan Jiuchao did it on purpose.
They knew that little lunatic was unreliable. He must be tired of being the Regent for a few days and had let his father clean up the mess.
This matter sounded ridiculous. If it were anyone else, they would have been impeached by the censors hundreds of times. However, it was still the same thing. Yan Jiuchao’s dark history was countless. If he didn’t come out and harm everyone, everyone would be very lucky. Moreover, Prince Yan’s talent in governing wasn’t bad. He could even be said to be outstanding.
After Yan Jiuchao dealt with a few greedy officials with extremely ferocious methods, the ministers were in a panic. At this time, when Prince Yan came out to deal with the politics, everyone would only be grateful to him, okay?
Of course, there were exceptions to everything. The advisor in Yan Huaijing’s residence advised Yan Huaijing to seize the opportunity and obtain evidence of Yan Jiuchao’s malfeasance to force Prince Yan to hand over the power of regent.
From the law and logic, this could work. However, Yan Huaijing did not do that. He did hate Yan Jiuchao, but in the face of a great enemy, he could temporarily put aside all his personal grudges.
“Your Highness.” Prince Yan was handling official business in the study when Shadow Thirteen walked in.
“What is it?” Prince Yan paused in his review of the memorial.
Shadow Thirteen said, “Jun Chang’an came just now.”
“Jun Chang’an? The martial arts expert beside the Crown Prince?” Prince Yan asked.
“It’s him,” Shadow Thirteen replied.
Prince Yan put down the memorial. “What’s the matter?”
Shadow Thirteen said truthfully, “The Crown Prince asked him to come. The Crown Prince asked him to bring us news that the Sacred clansmen who escaped from the Crown Prince Manor… have an army.”
Prince Yan frowned slightly.
Shadow Thirteen continued, “When those people agreed to assist the Crown Prince back then, they said that there were a few small clans outside the distant sea that had very powerful military strength. As long as the Crown
Prince can afford it, those mercenaries can work for him. The Crown Prince’s remuneration has already been given out, and the mercenaries are already on their way to the Great Zhou.”
Prince Yan said thoughtfully, “I’m afraid it’s not mercenaries, but the army of the Sacred Clan.”
Shadow Thirteen nodded. “That’s what the Crown Prince thinks too.”
Yan Huaijing was originally kept in the dark. Now that the identity of that group of people had been exposed, no matter how stupid Yan Huaijing was, he could guess that something was wrong with those mercenaries.
However, the passageway that should have been opened had already been opened for them, so even Yan Huaijing did not know where the saint army had reached.
“How many people did the other party send?” Prince Yan asked.
Shadow Thirteen said, “They said ten thousand elite soldiers to the Crown
Prince, but I think it’s far more than that.”
How could they tell Yan Huaijing the truth? Even their motive to get close to Yan Huaijing was fake, so they would naturally hide the truth about the military strength.
Shadow Thirteen continued, “The Crown Prince can’t contact his spies anymore. I guess after the matter was exposed, the Sacred Clan decisively killed the person the Crown Prince sent to receive them.”
“I understand.” Prince Yan nodded. “Get Shadow Six to investigate where the Sacred Clan’s army is first. It’s not easy to hide with so many people. Once we find out where they are, immediately order the local authorities to lock down the city.”
“Will the authorities… listen?” Shadow Thirteen expressed his doubts.
Prince Yan took out a square thing from the drawer. Shadow Thirteen took a closer look and was instantly dumbfounded! Wasn’t this the jade seal? So you keep saying that you don’t care about fame and fortune, but you actually secretly got the jade seal?
“Ahem.” Prince Yan cleared his throat. “Give it to Shadow Six.”
“Uh… yes!” Shadow Thirteen took the jade seal with trembling hands. You didn’t let any sacrificial soldiers enter the palace to steal it, right? You haven’t even entered the palace, so it can’t be that the Emperor gave it to you to play with!
“Also.” Shadow Thirteen was about to go out when Prince Yan thought of something and stopped him. “Ah Wan is in confinement. There are some things that don’t have to be stirred up in front of her. You guys can do it in her name. You still have to keep an eye on the palace.”
The palace? How was he going to stick his hand in? Before Shadow Thirteen could voice his doubts, he saw Prince Yan open the drawer again and take out something slightly smaller than the jade seal—the Empress Phoenix Seal.
The corners of Shadow Thirteen’s mouth twitched.
“The Crown Prince Manor is actually involved with the Honglu Temple and the royal family…” Prince Yan took out the Crown Prince’s golden seal.
Shadow Thirteen was speechless.
Your Highness, to be honest, are you sure you didn’t get someone to rob the palace? Is it really fine for you to take advantage of the situation?
