Yan Ge'er's husband shouldn't be a bad person. He should tell his mother that he's here, right?

Will his mother come looking for him?

He hadn't seen his mother for a very, very long time.

I miss my mother so much.

Yan Ge'er clenched his little hands tightly.

Yang Zhen thought for a long time before asking, "Do you want to see Yan Ge'er?"

Yan Ge'er first shook his head, then realized something, looked at him warily, and nodded again.

Many thoughts raced through Yang Zhen's mind.

He had long suspected Su Wanwan's motives for raising Yan Ge'er in the palace.

Yan Ge'er looked somewhat like her, and he even once suspected that Yan Ge'er was her illegitimate child.

Now, seeing Yan Ge'er, who is about the same age, I immediately understood.

The attempt to cover it up only makes it more obvious.

This woman is really wild.

On the surface, she appears gentle and harmless.

He did things that ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of!

On the contrary, this renowned genius was actually a law-abiding and honest man.

Yang Zhen seemed to have had his Ren and Du meridians opened up.

...

Lu Xingjian and Su Wanwan had just rested.

"How is Yan-ge'er doing lately?"

Su Wanwan felt a little more at ease when she heard that Zhang Yong had been released from prison.

At the time, she was seriously ill, and Lu Xingjian was not in the capital, so she had no choice but to tell Zhang Yong about Yan Ge'er.

Hopefully, Zhang Yong can ensure Yan Ge'er's safety at this critical moment.

"It's the same as usual." Lu Xingjian hasn't seen his child since returning to Beijing.

When Su Wanwan's life was hanging by a thread, he had no energy to care about anything else. Once he heard that the child was safe, he stopped worrying about it.

Thinking of this, he felt a little guilty.

Perhaps because they spend so little time together, Wanwan holds a more important place in his heart than his son.

"When can I meet him?" Su Wanwan made this request, taking advantage of Lu Xingjian's recent doting attitude towards her.

Anyway, she keeps it in the room and never goes out.

It would actually be possible to secretly bring Yan Ge'er in to stay for a while.

Lu Xingjian remained silent for a while, also considering the possibility of this.

Having the child here shouldn't be bad for Wanwan's mood or recovery.

He readily agreed: "I'll take care of it tomorrow."

The ten-day Lantern Festival holiday is just around the corner, and their family should have a good reunion.

Someone outside hurriedly reported this.

Lu Xingjian felt a chill and got up to go to the outer room.

"Prime Minister Liu led his men to the Qian family!"

Lu Xingjian's expression changed instantly: "Where's the child?"

...

Yang Ting and his son looked at their child, who was so tired that he had fallen asleep, and were frowning as they tried to figure out how to get rid of this hot potato.

"Why did you think of bringing him back?" Yang Ting looked at his son with a hint of helplessness.

Yang Zhen's expression tightened slightly. "There are too many people and too many eyes at Zuixianlou. We can't just leave it there unattended."

"Besides, if he was able to find me, it must be because someone instructed him; he couldn't escape."

Yang Ting's expression grew increasingly grim.

They were afraid that the news would leak out, that someone would target them, and that something would happen to the child in their home.

That would be a crime punishable by death.

Since the child entered the Yang family, all of the Yang family's guards have been mobilized and are on high alert.

It was getting late, and going to the palace to request an audience with the emperor would be too much of a commotion.

Moreover, the emperor has not seen his officials outside the capital for a long time, and it is unlikely that he will ever see them again.

We can only wait until tomorrow to think of a solution.

Yang Tingzheng was considering whether it would be more appropriate to approach Zhang Yong or Gu Ziyu.

But what if the child just looks like him, and he's actually overthinking it?

The doorman rushed over to report: "Sir, a distinguished guest has arrived."

Yang Ting and Yang Zhen exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

It is unknown whether the visitor is auspicious or inauspicious.

The gatekeeper was extremely anxious: "They're people from the palace!"

Yang Ting and Yang Zhen were even more tense.

If it's someone from Liu Jin's group... the situation will only become more complicated.

With their abilities, the Yang family was no match for the immense power and influence of Liu Jin.

Yang Ting dressed solemnly and left the study, only to be met by a tall and handsome figure walking towards him.

It was Emperor Lu Xingjian.

Where are the children?

Yang Ting breathed a sigh of relief: "He's asleep inside."

Lu Xingjian's face was ashen, and he gestured for people to surround the study.

Yang Ting: ...

His study has always been a highly confidential place, and it is difficult for ordinary people in the family to get close.

The study was warm and cozy.

Yan Ge'er was asleep fully clothed, covered with a small blanket.

Yang Zhen personally stayed by the bedside.

Lu Xingjian's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene.

He had a natural hostility and wariness towards Yang Zhen.

If he didn't have a good understanding of Yang Ting, the Crown Prince, he would have doubted the Yang family's intentions.

Lu Xingjian immediately took off his cloak, wrapped the child in it, and carried him away.

Yang Ting hurriedly saw him off.

Lu Xingjian stopped in his tracks: "Keep tonight's events a secret."

Yang Ting lowered his voice and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will certainly restrain my family and keep quiet."

...

As soon as the carriage started moving, Yan Ge'er woke up. He looked around in terror and was about to scream.

Lu Xingjian asked in a low voice, "Shall I take you to see your mother?"

Yan Ge'er was stunned for a long time.

He remembered the man in front of him who had appeared with his mother several times.

He must be Yan Ge'er's father, who stole his mother away.

But the man said he would take him to see his mother.

Yan Ge'er nodded warily.

After getting off the carriage, he was wrapped in a cloak and lifted up.

Yan Ge'er gently parted the crack with his fingers and looked around.
