Ye Siming’s heart trembled. Then, a hint of gentleness melted in his black and cold eyes.

Just now, he was a little flustered because he couldn’t find Gu Nuo’er.

At this moment, he gradually calmed down.

He tightened his arms and pressed the child into his arms, promising in a low voice, “There won’t be a next time.”

He wouldn’t let her wait anymore.

Gu Nuo’er smiled sweetly. She took out a small piece of candy that was wrapped in a piece of yellow paper and handed it to Ye Siming.

“Elder Brother Siming, eat. Those baddies who wanted to trick me earlier bought it.”

Ye Siming took the candy and his lacquered eyes seemed to be hiding the black light of a treasured sword.

The child was very proud and whispered to him, “Those baddies are very stupid. They bought me a lot of things. I brought this for you. Even Fifth Brother doesn’t have any. Remember to eat it!”

When Gu Zichen saw how intimate Ye Siming was with his sister, he pursed his thin lips in dissatisfaction.

“Nuo’er, we should return to the palace.” He reached out his hand and gestured for Ye Siming to return his sister.

Gu Nuo’er nodded obediently and said in a soft voice, “Elder Brother Siming, I’m going back!”

Ye Siming actually didn’t want to let go.

His fingers tightened, but he wanted to find out who were the ones who impersonated him.

After hesitating for a moment, when the fifth prince urged him for the third time, he reluctantly carried Gu Nuo’er and handed her to Gu Zichen.

Gu Zichen hugged his sister in his arms.

He raised her eyebrows at Ye Siming. “Marquis Yongye, you should go back early too. I’ve already sent the group of people who had impersonated you to the government office’s prison. If you want to interrogate them, you can go there to take a look. Goodbye.”

Gu Nuo’er reached out her small hand and waved. “See you tomorrow, Elder Brother Siming!”

After they left, Ye Siming retracted his gaze.

With a cold expression, he turned around, got on the horse, and left with the dust.

That night.

In the Grand Historian Huang’s residence.

He sat in the study and asked his hidden guard, “There’s been no movement for so long. It seems that they couldn’t take the little princess away, right?” Actually, Lord Huang had a premonition that things wouldn’t go so smoothly.

After all, there were many guards around Princess Yaoguang.

The most difficult to deal with was Ye Siming.

Although he had thought of ways to divert Ye Siming away, it wasn’t a simple matter to bring the princess away in front of everyone. The hidden guard nodded. “Yes, they failed. Moreover…”

“Moreover what?”

“Moreover, the princess had them clean up the mud in the moat and they had soaked in cold water for two hours. When they were brought up, the nine of them couldn’t walk anymore.”

Lord Huang was stunned. “Why would they clean up the mud?! These stupid things were fooled by a five-year-old child! Don’t they know how to refuse?”

The hidden guard broke out in a sweat. “This subordinate has been following at the side and saw Her Highness get off the carriage first and buy a bunch of things. Ren Chao and the others definitely didn’t want to create any alarm, so they went along with the princess.

“Later on, when Her Highness was strolling towards the city gate, she saw the fifth prince bringing a group of people from the Ministry of Works and was looking at the city wall.”

Lord Huang immediately remembered.

If His Majesty wanted to reinforce the city wall, then if the people from the Ministry of Works wanted to start work, they had to clean up the moat before they could continue.

Therefore, not only were the few top experts he had arranged for this mission unable to kidnap the little princess but they were also used by her and made to dig up mud?!

It was cold in autumn. Wouldn’t their legs be crippled if they were soaked in the water for two hours?!

The more Lord Huang thought about this, the angrier he became.

He originally wanted to make the princess go missing and cause Marquis Yongye to be punished by His Majesty.

Who would have thought that they would end up worse off?!

He had lost nine of his experts for nothing!

“Where are they now?”

“In the evening, the fifth prince sent them to prison. Marquis Yongye went there just now, but five people were carried out later. They said that during the interrogation, the marquis was too heavy-handed and killed them..”
