After a night's rest, Su Luo opened the door early the next morning and saw Yi Huan. Yi Huan first gave her a graceful greeting before speaking.

"Is Mother going out again today?"

Su Luo squatted down. She had been busy with her own things since arriving in the capital and hadn't had a chance to spend time with Yi Huan properly.

"Well, I have some things to do today. Huanhuan, do you want to go out and play too?"

Yi Huan shook her head sensibly and handed the roll of paper in her hand to Su Luo.

"Mother, don't worry about Huanhuan. Yesterday, Teacher Xie played with Huanhuan all day. This is Huanhuan's homework from the past two days, which I brought here for you to review."

Su Luo really regretted not bringing An An along. If An An had been here, the two children would have had company.

“Huanhuan did a great job. If you want to go out for a walk, you can ask Su Zuo to take you.”

Yi Huan shook her head, "No, Mother. Teacher Xie gave me homework today, and I want to finish it first."

Su Luo felt relatively at ease in the Du residence, as Yun Niangzi was there to ensure Yi Huan wouldn't go hungry.

"Huanhuan, Mommy promises you, tomorrow, just tomorrow, I'll take you out for a day of fun, okay?"

"Okay, thank you, Mother."

After escorting Yi Huan back to her room, she went to the medicine workshop at the Du family's old residence.

The new product, Yao Su Luo, also needs to be developed. As for the instruction manual, it will still be written manually, following the original method.

Su Luo personally prepared the experimental drugs, spending an entire morning preparing both types.

The task of finding people to test the drug's efficacy was entrusted to Du Siyuan, who had the expertise in this area.

Su Luo returned to the Du residence. Lady Yun had prepared the meal and asked Su Luo to call Yi Huan down for dinner.

When Su Luo arrived at Yi Huan's room, she knocked twice, but there was no response.

After knocking twice more, Su Luo called out, "Huanhuan, dinner's ready. Do your homework after you finish eating."

Xie Wanwan went to inspect the embroidery workshops in the capital today, so it's inconvenient for her to take Yi Huan out.

Moreover, with Lady Yun at home and Su Zuo in the backyard, where could Yi Huan go?

"Huanhuan..."

Su Luo forcefully opened the door, but Yi Huan was nowhere to be seen. There was a note on the table, written in Yi Huan's handwriting.

The note read: "Mother is worried. Huanhuan went to Prince Yu's mansion to play for half a day and returned home at dusk."

After reading the note, Su Luo crumpled it into a ball. What exactly was Nangong Chiyu trying to do?

If you want to find Yi Huan, just be open and honest with her. Don't be sneaky. Even Yun Hui and Su Zuo at home don't know when Yi Huan disappeared.

Su Luo was furious. She turned around and left the Du residence, ordering Su Zuo to drive the carriage straight to the Yu Prince's residence.

As soon as Su Luo got off the carriage, she rushed inside, but the four guards at the gate were no pushovers. They blocked her way with their long spears.

"Who goes there? Do you have an invitation?"

Every day, countless ministers like Su Luo try to enter Prince Yu's mansion to curry favor with him. Deputy General Chi has ordered that every single one of them be stopped.

"No, my daughter is inside, please move aside."

The guards refused to let her pass, and in a fit of anger, Su Luo beat all four of them. When they couldn't beat her, she used her hidden arrows. In the end, all four of them fell to the ground, watching helplessly as Su Luo entered the palace.

"Huanhuan, Huanhuan, where are you?"

Su Luo and Su Zuo rushed to the backyard, their imposing manner causing even the servants to hide in the side.

When they arrived at the backyard, Su Luo saw Nangong Chiyu playing with a large eagle with Yi Huan. Su Luo was terrified, afraid that the eagle would peck at Yi Huan.

"Huanhuan, watch out!"

Su Luo ran over, grabbed Yi Huan's arm, and pulled her aside.

After putting her daughter down and seeing that Yi Huan was alright, Su Luo finally felt a little relieved.

Turning around, Su Luo unleashed a barrage of attacks on Nangong Chiyu, using all her strength in close combat, but Nangong Chiyu managed to dodge every single one.

Even the eagle from before remained standing motionless on his arm.

"Mother, Huanhuan is not hurt. Mother, please don't fight with Prince Yu."

Chi Yi pulled Yi Huan away from Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu.

Su Luo was furious. Nangong Chiyu had kidnapped her daughter without her consent and even let her play with such a dangerous animal as an eagle.

"Nangong Chiyu, what are you up to? If you have any complaints, you can take them out on me. What's the big deal about dealing with a seven-year-old child?"

Nangong Chiyu dodged each move with ease, and after hearing Su Luo's shout, he calmly replied.

"Yi Huan was invited by me, so there's nothing wrong with her eating, drinking, and having fun. Besides, I trained this eagle myself, and it will never harm Yi Huan."

"But what do you mean by secretly bringing Yi Huan to your Prince Yu's residence while I was away?"

Su Luo cursed as she worked, her hands and feet never stopping; she was determined to vent her anger today.

“Yi Huan left you a note, otherwise how could you have found the Prince Yu’s residence? I brought Yi Huan out to play openly and honestly, unlike you, her mother, who left her alone at home.”

“In the entire capital, you, Nangong Chiyu, are the most dangerous. I will not allow you to get close to Yi Huan.”

Seeing that she couldn't defeat him, Su Luo tried to use her hidden arrow.

"Su Luo, I'm warning you, this is the Yu Prince's residence. If I can't move, you won't be able to leave either."

Nangong Chiyu had a deep understanding of this hidden blade. It contained anesthetic, which wouldn't kill you, but it would paralyze you, and in severe cases, it could even cause you to faint.

Su Luo stopped and stared at Nangong Chiyu with resentment.

He raised his hand, and the eagle on his hand flew away. He walked quietly to the table, sat down, poured two cups of tea, and handed one cup to Su Luo.

"I have said that I will not harm Yi Huan."

Su Luo didn't believe that, given the distance between them, he could genuinely treat Yi Huan well.

"Mother, I'm sorry. It was Prince Yu who invited Huanhuan. He didn't force Huanhuan to come out. Huanhuan did it voluntarily. Mother, Huanhuan was wrong."

Ever since learning that Nangong Chiyu was the Prince of Yu, Yi Huan has never dared to call him "uncle" again.

Su Luo took Yi Huan's hand and said to Nangong Chiyu with a gloomy expression.

"Nangong Chiyu, if I find out that you have hurt Yi Huan, I will pay any price to make you pay with your life."

Su Luo's space was so vast that a single cannonball could reduce the entire Yuwang Mansion to dust; she wasn't exaggerating.

Nangong Chiyu and Chi Yi merely sneered, as if to say that Su Luo's words were nothing but wishful thinking.

"If I do anything to harm Yi Huan, I will let you do whatever you want with me."

Su Luo glared fiercely at Nangong Chiyu and Chi Yi, then led Yi Huan back.

Chi Yi walked to Nangong Chiyu's side, watching Su Luo freely enter and leave the Yuwang Mansion, and bowed his head.

"Your Highness, I will replace the guards at the gate in a moment."

Nangong Chiyu took a sip of the still-steaming tea and said calmly, "Hmm! Next time I invite Yi Huan, I'll go through the main entrance."

"yes!"

For Nangong Chiyu, Su Luo was helpful for his memory, but Yi Huan gave him the feeling that he genuinely wanted to be good to her.

He had never felt such a strong sense of intimacy with anyone before.
