Chu Zhongyuan rushed into the palace, and Jin Mudan asked him bluntly, "Brother, did you kidnap Su Yujiao's child?"

Chu Zhongyuan looked at her with a probing expression and asked, "When did you become so concerned about her?"

Jin Mudan feigned a worried expression: "I'm not worried about her, I'm worried about you."

"Brother, I had a very bad dream."

“I dreamt that you took Su Yujiao’s child, and then her child died inexplicably.”

"Su Yujiao was enraged. She can summon wind and rain, control lightning, and even conjure weapons that can kill from a distance. You died a very tragic death, with no complete corpse, and turned into minced meat."

"Brother, please release her child."

"She is the Holy Maiden of the Southern Frontier Kingdom. She possesses a very powerful magical artifact that you cannot afford to offend."

Chu Zhongyuan felt a moment of unease upon hearing his sister's words.

Is that really the case?

Could her dream be a premonition of something?

Otherwise, how would Qinghe know so much?

"Brother, I beg you, please release him."

"I'm really worried, I don't want you to die."

Seeing Chu Qinghe's anxious expression, Chu Zhongyuan whispered to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, it was just a dream, don't take it seriously."

"Just a nightmare."

"Su Yujiao's child will not die, and my brother will be fine."

"My brother wouldn't be so cruel to a child."

Jin Mudan was still unwilling to give up: "Brother, please don't take the risk."

"I know my brother wouldn't be so cruel as to kill a child, but what if something unexpected happens?"

"What if that child died in the Emperor's residence? What would Su Yujiao think? Would she listen to your explanation?"

"Brother, please release that child. I'm really scared. That dream was too real; it must be a premonition of something."

"Your Majesty is destined to be emperor. This dream is a reminder not to take any risks, or your fate will be altered."

Chu Zhongyuan hesitated for a moment after hearing his sister's words.

After all, he often has prophetic dreams!

Therefore, he believes that some dreams are indeed meant to guide and provide hints.

"Please allow your brother to consider it."

"You should rest well and not think about anything else. Take good care of yourself."

Jin Mudan grabbed his hand: "Brother, tell me, where is that child hidden?"

"No matter what you think, the child must not be harmed. Send the child to me, and I will personally watch over him to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

Chu Zhongyuan shook his head, but still told him to take care of himself.

“Brother, if you are worried that my body cannot withstand the strain, you can have Mother keep an eye on me personally.”

"Don't you trust your mother to handle things?"

"Get some rest and don't think too much," Chu Zhongyuan said before leaving.

Jin Mudan was extremely anxious, but she couldn't get any useful information out of her.

So she told Consort Jing about having nightmares and asked Consort Jing to stop it.

At least this way we can find out where the child is hiding!

Knowing where the child is hiding will make it easier for Jiaojiao to rescue him.

Consort Jing was skeptical, so Jin Mudan, in an attempt to convince her, suddenly asked with a serious expression, "Mother, aren't you actually a princess from the previous dynasty?"

"You...you're not allowed to talk nonsense!"

Consort Jing was so frightened that her eyes widened. She immediately covered Jin Mudan's mouth and looked around frantically, afraid that someone would hear her.

After confirming that no one was around, Consort Jing lowered her voice and scolded, "Whose nonsense are you listening to?"

"Don't talk nonsense like that again, it could cost you your head."

Jin Mudan looked at her with a bewildered expression: "I dreamt about it."

"That dream felt so real."

"You are the youngest daughter of the former emperor, and your mother is the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"The palace you lived in was called the Glass Palace. When the country fell, it was your personal maid Chunxue who burned down the Glass Palace and died in your place, thus deceiving the world."

"Later, you went through a period of wandering and fleeing, and I dreamt about this place and woke up in pain."

"Mother, are you really not a princess from the previous dynasty?"

"How did you become a princess of the Xiao Nan tribe and marry my father?"

After hearing Jin Mudan's words, Consort Jing turned pale with fright. Could it be... could there really be such a miraculous thing in this world?

Otherwise, how would my daughter know all this?

How do you know so much detail?

"Mother, are you really a princess from the previous dynasty?"

"This is very important."

"If you are indeed a princess of the former dynasty, then it proves that the dream I had was not an ordinary dream, but one that will come true."

"Then we must stop my brother as soon as possible and prevent the tragedy from happening."

“Even if Your Majesty refuses to change your mind, you must find out where that child is hiding and do everything in your power to protect him.”

“My brother has feelings for Su Yujiao, and I know he wouldn’t harm her child, but what if something unexpected happens?”

"Or the child gets sick, and the staff doesn't take good care of him, leading to the child's death."

"In short, if this is the will of Heaven, anything can happen. The best solution is to have my brother release the child."

"If Your Majesty truly loves Su Yujiao, there are other ways. There's no need to resort to such a risky method."

Consort Jing grew increasingly frightened as she listened. Could her son really be in danger?

Regardless of whether He'er's dream will come true or not, she must stop it.

She wouldn't let her son take such a risk for a woman.

"He'er, go and rest well. Your mother will go and stop your brother. I will make sure nothing happens to the child."

"Mother, let Qiuyue go with you. Let her report any news immediately, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

"OK!"

Consort Jing went to the Prince's residence and successfully stopped Chu Zhongyuan's actions. However, on the way back with the child, the child was snatched away by another group of people.

Three days later, at night, a hidden arrow flew through the air and landed firmly at Su Yujiao's feet.

[Want a child? Alone? See you at Orchid Garden!]

Orchid Garden?

Chen Yunniang's courtyard?

Did Chen Yunniang escape?

If Chen Yunniang escaped, she had to go see her.

We cannot proceed slowly!

Chen Yunniang is ruthless and merciless!

"Madam, where are you going?"

"Let me accompany you," Wei Yingzi said, looking worried.

"I'll go by myself, and nobody is allowed to come with me."

Su Yujiao went to the Orchid Garden alone.

The courtyard was empty, overgrown with weeds taller than a person, and had been abandoned for a long time.

A dim light flickered inside the main hall as Su Yujiao walked through the bushes into the hall.

Chen Yunniang sat in the room, staring at her with a half-smile: "Cousin, it's been a long time."

"How have you been lately?"

Su Yujiao asked expressionlessly, "Where's the child?"

Chen Yunniang smiled and said, "It seems my cousin's eyesight isn't very good."

Isn't that it?

Su Yujiao looked in the direction Chen Yunniang was pointing and saw An'an tied to a scarecrow.

An'an was unconscious, with a row of eggs placed on her head and limbs, like a target.
