“Ah Xia, can you go now?”

Ah Xia returned to the present. She stared at Dong’er. Since they were so familiar with each other, she understood every single one of Dong’er’s expressions, including that look in her eyes. Even though her personality had changed a lot, her small habits would never change.

For example, whenever Dong’er lied, her left eyebrow would twitch. It was very subtle, and only a careful person would be able to notice it. The frequency of her twitching matched the amount of agitation in her heart.

Although Ah Xia’s age wasn’t very high, she has spent many years in the prince’s residence. Everyone said that she had good talent, which was why Old Lady Xue took a fancy to her. Little did they know that as she tended to the fire in the main kitchen, she had carefully watched how other people cooked.

Her cooking skills were excellent. Although she hadn’t reached the stage of being the executive chef, there was no problem for her to be the sous chef. But she also understood that the tallest trees attract the most wind.

According to Ah Xia, Yaoniang would be beaten by her enemy because she had attracted too much limelight.

She glanced at the tender and fair Xiaobao again. She really couldn’t tell that he was the son of such a vulgar-looking man. He must take after his mother.

If so-

How could she still accept His Highness’s favour so calmly? A woman with a sullied body is supposed to hide in the house, never go out. Just like…

Ah Xia groaned, “You are so anxious. Then can you help me take care of the young master? I’ll be quick.”

She asked Dong’er to stand behind Xiaobao and help him feed the fish. Then she turned and left.

Xiaobao had a lot on his mind. Only when Ah Xia left did he instinctively glance back, just in time to catch Dong’er’s weird grin.

He had a bad feeling in his heart. Looking at Ah Xia’s back which was getting further and further away, he started to yell. Dong’er said hurriedly, “Shhh. Young master, be obedient. Let’s watch the fish.”

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her pocket. Remembering that person’s instructions, she pressed it against Xiaobao’s nose and mouth. Xiaobao saw darkness then he fainted.

She picked him up, pretending to be coaxing Xiaobao to sleep. With him in her arms, she left the small garden quickly.

After a while, someone came over. Her words could be heard a long way away.

“I asked Dong’er to look after him while I went to get the embroidery design…” said Ah Xia to Chun’er as the pair walked. But when the two arrived, not even a person’s shadow was seen.

“Hey, where are they? They were here just now.”

“Did Dong’er take the young master back and miss us?”

“That’s possible. Let’s go back and take a look.”

But when they returned to Rongxi Courtyard, they didn’t find Dong’er and Xiaobao. The two of them could only turn back again. This time the two went separately, in case they missed them again

After a while, the two met each other but still didn’t find Dong’er and Xiaobao. Ah Xia couldn’t help being anxious and said, “Let’s make a trip back to Rongxi Courtyard again. If they still haven’t come back, then let’s go to the main kitchen or Dong’er’s room.”

Chun’er nodded her head. The two hurriedly walked back.

They didn’t realize that Xiaobao might be missing and only thought that Dong’er had taken him to play. Only the two of them looked for Xiaobao, but when they went to the main kitchen and Dong’er’s room, not to mention Xiaobao, even Dong’er herself was not found. Then the pair realized that something was wrong and hurriedly went back to report.

Yuchan ordered everyone in the courtyard to scatter around and look for them, then went to Zhaohui Hall to report.

Yaoniang had gone to Zhaohui Hall and hadn’t returned yet.

When Yuchan arrived at Zhaohui Hall, Yaoniang was still in the room, but Fucheng was guarding the door. She told him about what happened. Fucheng asked her not to worry and ordered someone to go and look for Xiaobao.

Yuchan felt much more relieved now that Eunuch Fu had given orders. As long as the person was still in the manor, it was impossible not to find him.

But when the person, who had gone out, came back to report, he said that he didn’t find him. He almost flipped the entire manor upside down, but Xiaobao still wasn’t found.

“Except for a few women’s yards, I’ve looked everywhere but I still didn’t find him.”

Fucheng glanced at the closed door and said without any hesitation. “Search those courtyards as well and say that you’re under His Highness’s orders.”

“Yes.”

In the bedroom, Yaoniang didn’t know about the mess outside. She only felt that Jin Wang was getting more and more difficult to deal with.

After discussing with Doctor Liu, they dedicated some time every day for her to relieve Jin Wang. But Jin Wang was unconscious and would only wake up when he was very excited. But even then, he was not sober and only had his instincts. Yaoniang was only one person. It was extremely difficult for her to deal with such a high-intensity exercise on her own. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had to come up with something. Fortunately, she was not inexperienced. Only towards the end would she mount him.

Even so, she was exhausted.

There was a bathroom in the room. Yaoniang walked out of it after freshening up. She couldn’t help but rub her waist while walking. Once she saw Fucheng and Yuchan outside, only then did she withdraw her hands in embarrassment.

The faces of the two were a bit weird and Yaoniang was puzzled. Just as she was about to ask, she heard Yuchan say, “Madam, the young master is gone.”

Yaoniang felt something explode in her mind. “Why is he missing? What happened? Isn’t there Ah Xia? There are so many people so why is Xiaobao gone?”

“Ah Xia took the young master to watch the fish. Dong’er asked her to borrow an embroidery design, and Ah Xia went back to get it. When she came back, not only Dong’er but even the young master was gone. Our people had all gone out to look for him, and Eunuch Fu also ordered people to look around. Don’t worry, the young master must be fine. Maybe it was Dong’er who carried him to play in some maid’s room.” Yuchan tried to comfort her.

Yaoniang hurried away with Yuchan and didn’t even pay attention to Fucheng’s greeting.

Fucheng turned and entered the room. Jin Wang was sitting in the bed, seeming to have heard the movement outside.

His cheeks were thinner than before. He appeared to be a bit less domineering, but more noble. Right now, his long hair was half-draped over his shoulders, making him seem even more like an immortal.

It was a pity that those blood-red eyes destroyed his immortal aura. On the contrary, it made him seem a little bit ghostly and demonic.

“Still haven’t found out why Liuchun Pavilion stole that brat?” said Jin Wang in a low voice as his left hand played with the sapphire ring on his right hand.

Fucheng lowered his head and said, “The man died. Now, only Side Consort Hu and Tao Hong know the inside story. Tao Hong is Yong Wang’s person. The nails that Yong Wang had inserted into the manor over these years have been pulled out. Now that your illness acted up, this old servant recalled some of the elites from the outside for fear of an accident. The manor appears to be loose but is actually well secured. But what hadn’t been expected was that there was a person hidden behind this girl. We also discovered this too late and as for Side Consort Hu, you told me not to…so…”

That’s why they only knew the result and not how it happened in the first place. At first, they chalked it up to a private matter of the backyard. It was only when the person died, and Tao Hong exposed her tail, did they realize that it wasn’t that simple.
