573 Sick Little Black Eggs

At dawn, Yu Wan slowly woke up from her sleep.

Last night was the day of coupling. The two of them worked till late at night. Yu Wan did not remember when she fell asleep. When she opened her eyes again, it was just now.

Yu Wan looked at the bright sky and sighed secretly. Sigh, she woke up late again.

Previously, in the Young Master Manor, she could still comfort herself that she had cramps in her hands when she was counting money and slept until she woke up naturally because there were no elders living in the manor. What should she say now? There were many elders, and she woke up later and later every day.

!!

“Sigh, I’ve really fallen!” Yu Wan covered her eyes and said in shame.

Fortunately, the Old Madam never minded—

The Old Madam had a beautiful little grandson and little black eggs. She did not care about an ugly little granddaughter-in-law.

Yu Wan lifted the blanket and sat up. She lifted the curtain and smelled a refreshing fragrance of flowers. Then, she saw a few white and pink camellias in the vase on the bedside table. The flowers were blooming extremely well and were in full bloom early in the morning. There were also two Nepenthes to prevent mosquitoes and insects. It could be said to be in line with her aesthetics.

It was obvious who did it.

Yu Wan felt a warmth in her heart when she thought of him going to the flowerbed early in the morning to pick flowers and Nepenthes for her.

Yan Jiuchao had finished his medicinal bath and was quietly sitting in front of the bed, seriously flipping through the book in his hand. The golden sunlight shone on his handsome face. He was immersed in his own world, and his entire body seemed to emit the fragrance of a book.

My husband is really… salty and sweet…

Yu Wan could not help but smile. She dressed up and went to wash up. After washing up, she went to the dressing table to comb her hair. When she opened the drawer, she saw a new pair of pearl hairpins.

This was not the first time she had received a surprise from him. He always did not say anything, but from time to time, a few things that he had carefully prepared could appear in the room.

Yu Wan felt that her husband must cherish her to death! Yu Wan walked over with a smile and placed her hands behind her back. She bent down slightly and said to him, “Yan Jiuchao, if you were drugged one day, will you forget me?”

“Forget what? That you’re ugly?” Yan Jiuchao thought seriously. “Oh, I don’t think so.”

Yu Wan’s face darkened. She was not touched at all. She only wanted to beat this guy to death!

Recently, the days in the Helian Manor have been relatively calm. The Old Madam had her youngest son and a beautiful daughter-in-law. Every day, she was extremely happy. Her youngest son was busy with work and did not come to her room often, but her daughter-in-law was filial! Every day, she tirelessly played cards with an old woman like her and even taught her to play nine, shake dice, and bet!

Old Madam was as happy as a god!

In comparison, the three little black eggs’ days were a little miserable.

The weather was not good two days ago, and the three little black eggs caught a cold one after another. First, Xiaobao sneezed for an entire night, then Er’bao began to cough, and finally, Dabao had a fever for an entire day in a daze.

Until now, the three little fellows were all covered in snot bubbles.

The sick little fellows became clingy. The three of them sat pitifully on the threshold. When they saw Yu Wan come over, Xiaobao stretched out his little hand aggrievedly. “Mother, hug.”

Yu Wan picked Xiaobao up and touched his forehead. “It’s still a little hot. Did you drink the medicine?”

Xiaobao buried his face in his mother’s neck and said coquettishly, “I don’t want to drink medicine.”

“You won’t recover if you don’t drink the medicine,” Yu Wan coaxed softly.

Yan Jiuchao also walked over and reached out his slender fingers to touch his son.

Xiaobao thought that he was going to carry him away and snorted. “Don’t want stinky Daddy to carry me!”

Yan Jiuchao flicked him.

Xiaobao was in so much pain that his eyes were watery!

Yan Jiuchao picked up Er’bao and Dabao.

The two little fellows’ symptoms came faster than Xiaobao’s. Their faces were flushed from the heat, and they were a little sickly. Their little heads leaned weakly on their father’s shoulder. In the past, they would have gone to snatch their mother from Xiaobao, but they didn’t have the strength now.

Zi Su, Fu Ling, and an agile maidservant each carried a bowl of porridge.

This was the three little fellows’ breakfast. They had been feeding them for half an hour, but they had only eaten a few mouthfuls.

“Let me do it,” Yu Wan said.

The young couple carried the children back into the room and were about to place them on the chairs when the three of them refused to let go.

In the end, Yu Wan first fed Xiaobao in her arms, then carried Xiaobao to feed Dabao and Er’bao in Yan Jiuchao’s arms.

Xiaobao did not have such a serious fever, so he had a better appetite and ate more than half a bowl of porridge. Dabao and Er’bao, on the other hand, could not eat.

Yu Wan’s heart ached. She rubbed their heads. “Do you want candied hawthorn?”

The two of them nodded blankly. In the end, even though they had bought the candied hawthorn, the two of them still could not eat it.

The Old Madam had also heard about her great-grandson’s illness. She hurriedly came over with her walking stick to see them, but Yan Jiuchao stopped her. The old lady was old. It would be very dangerous if the little fellows infected her.

The old madam was not even in the mood to play the leaf card when she did not see her great-grandchildren.

On the other hand, in the Queen Manor, Asura was also covered in snot bubbles.

Nangong Li was so angry that he vomited blood because Asura had accidentally let the old man go. He ignored Asura for several days in a row. When he finally made up his mind to come to his courtyard, he saw Asura sitting pitifully on the threshold.

When did Asura become fond of sitting on the threshold? No, why was Asura sick?! No one in the manor caught a cold! Who gave him the sickness?

Asura looked helpless and pitiful.

Nangong Li had originally planned to criticize him for letting the Ghost Clan’s priest go. When he saw him like this, he suddenly couldn’t bear to speak.

“Guards!” Nangong Li said.

“Your Highness.” A guard walked forward and cupped his hands.

Nangong Li instructed, “Go and invite the imperial physician over and let him treat Asura well.”

“Yes!” The guard accepted the order and left.

Of course, Nangong Li did not come to look for Asura today just to “settle old scores”. More importantly, he wanted Asura to help him settle a few people.

He had thought about it. Although his father’s situation had temporarily stabilized, as long as Yan Jiuchao was still in Nanzhao, it was hard to guarantee that his father would not see him again. The moment he saw him, his father would touch on his past memories.

The best way was to let that person disappear from Nanzhao forever!

However, Asura was so sick that Nangong Li was worried that his brain would become muddled. He did not want to kill the wrong person and cause trouble for him. Nangong Li thought about it and decided to look for the State Preceptor first.

The State Preceptor had just finished court and met Nangong Li on the way back to the State Preceptor Hall. He alighted from the carriage and cupped his hands in greeting. “Your Highness.”

Nangong Li looked at the State Preceptor and then at his disciple, Wan Feng, who was brought along by the State Preceptor. He said, “State Preceptor, get in the carriage. I have something to say to you alone.”

The State Preceptor nodded and turned to Wan Feng. “Go back to the State Preceptor Hall first.”

“Yes, Master.” Wan Feng got into the carriage and left.

The State Preceptor boarded Nangong Li’s carriage.

Nangong Li lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked at the carriage that had disappeared at the end. “Is that little disciple the one who was captured as a hostage by the little thief who barged into the State Preceptor Hall at night last time?”

“It’s him,” the State Preceptor said.

Nangong Li smiled faintly. “After making such a huge mistake, not only did the State Preceptor not deal with him, but he still thinks highly of him. The State Preceptor… really thinks highly of this little disciple.”

The State Preceptor said expressionlessly, “Wan Feng won’t betray me. Why is Your Highness looking for me?”

“The State Preceptor probably still doesn’t know the background of the thieves who broke into the State Preceptor Hall, right?”

“What’s his background?”

“Like Asura, they’re all from the Ghost Clan.”

“What?” The State Preceptor was stunned. “Why would the Ghost Clan collude with them? Could it be…”

“Could it be?” This time, it was Nangong Li’s turn to look sideways. “Did the State Preceptor know something from the beginning?”

The State Preceptor frowned and said, “To be honest, I’ve seen Yan Jiuchao’s Princely Heir Consort when I was in the Great Zhou. She’s very similar to the Eldest Princess back then. I once suspected that she was the Eldest Princess’s daughter. I went to investigate and realized that she wasn’t.”

“I’m afraid you’ve been deceived.” Nangong Li took out a portrait from her wide sleeve. “Have you seen this old man in the Great Zhou?”

“Isn’t this the old man from Lotus Flower Village?” The State Preceptor asked.

Nangong Li sneered. “He’s the priest of the Ghost Clan. He’s seen you, but you’ve never seen him. I’m afraid he recognized you in Lotus Flower Village, so he used a plan to dispel his doubts about Yu Wan.”

The State Preceptor was puzzled. “Why did they do that?”

“I don’t know either.” Nangong Li calmly put away the painting.

Soon, the State Preceptor thought of a new problem. “If Yan Jiuchao’s Princely Heir Consort is indeed the Eldest Princess’s daughter, then isn’t she…”

Nangong Li continued his words. “That’s right. She’s the little commandery princess of Nanzhao. Her bloodline is purer than my adopted sister.”

The State Preceptor could not digest such huge information for a moment. He took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the shock in his heart.

Nangong Li sneered. “My little cousin isn’t as simple as she looks. Back then, she was so weak that even I was deceived. She turned around and used her sons to marry my half-brother.”

The State Preceptor also knew about the identity of the Prince Consort. When he heard Nangong Li say this, he was not too surprised. However, for some reason, the State Preceptor felt that the way he called her cousin… was a little strange.

The State Preceptor composed himself and asked, “What do you need me to do, Your Highness?”

Nangong Li sneered. “Hasn’t the State Preceptor seen the Princely Heir and Princess Consort of Yan City in the Great Zhou Dynasty? I need the State Preceptor to come forward and identify them and ask the Emperor to send them out of Nanzhao!”
