After realizing he could hear Miss Lin's innermost thoughts, he intentionally or unintentionally got closer to her, wanting to know many things.
When he heard Wang Yu say that the girl had run off to Yanhonglou today, he hesitated for a moment, but still came.
He was worried that if something happened to this girl, he wouldn't be able to learn any more secrets in the future, and it turned out that he came at the right time.
I heard quite a bit about it today.
Lin Yuxin drank with the beautiful woman for an hour.
An hour later, Lin Yuxin used the excuse of going to the toilet to stagger out.
When no one was around, he took out a pill from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and after a while, he finally became more awake. Then he turned around and headed straight for the backyard.
Lin Yuxin walked and searched, and soon found the kitchen of Yanhonglou.
Before we even arrived, we could hear the sounds of beating and cursing coming from inside.
"You idiot! If it weren't for your decent looks, I wouldn't have bought you. You can't even cook properly. I'll beat you to death, you piece of trash."
"Slap! Slap!"
The sound of someone being hit could be heard coming from inside.
Lin Yuxin ran over quickly, hid under the window, and peeked inside.
There was a little boy inside who was being beaten by a fat woman.
The boy held his head in his hands, silent and bearing the pain, his eyes filled with despair.
Lin Yuxin frowned after seeing it clearly.
[This is the Emperor's son who was raised among commoners? How pitiful! This boy has such a hard life; he was switched at birth and raised by a family surnamed Qiu.]
[But the man in this family was a gambler. When this boy was five years old, he was beaten to death because of gambling debts. The creditors used him to pay off their debts, and since he was quite handsome, he was sold to this brothel.]
Because he was still too young, he was assigned to the kitchen. He wasn't recognized by the emperor until he was eighteen. However, because of his past in a brothel, he was the one who was directly abandoned in the struggle for the throne.
[But who would have thought that this very person would eventually become emperor? The first thing he did upon becoming emperor was to destroy the Rouge Pavilion. Coupled with his past experiences, his temper was extremely unpredictable; a slight misstep could cost someone their life.]
[But this very person made Xia Kingdom the leader of the four kingdoms. He's truly a controversial figure! If I save him now, and he becomes emperor in the future, will he protect the Lin family a bit?]
Thinking of this, Lin Yuxin took out a slingshot from her pocket, then took out a pill and shot it at the woman inside.
The medicine still broke apart in mid-air, colorless and odorless.
[1, 2, 3!]
"Bang!"
Then there was a muffled thud, the sound of something falling.
Lin Yuxin covered her mouth and nose, went through the main gate, grabbed the child on the ground, and ran towards the back door.
Li Xiaochen was still reeling from the shock of being a prince when he saw the woman running away with the child in her arms.
Is this woman trying to interfere in the succession to the throne? Has she eaten dragon's gall?
Li Xiaochen paused for a moment, then followed after them.
When Lin Yuxin ran out of Yanhonglou, she realized that she seemed to have gotten out rather smoothly.
[Given his status, it's not safe for him to stay out here. Let's take him back first! He can make his own decision once he's recovered!]
Lin Yuxin looked at the boy in her arms, hesitated for a moment, and finally ran towards the Lin residence.
Li Xiaochen watched Lin Yuxin return to the Lin residence before returning to the Regent's Palace under the cover of night.
"Your Highness!"
When Wang Yu saw that the prince had finally returned, he hurried forward.
Li Xiaochen changed his clothes, came out from behind the screen, sat down at the desk, and tapped his fingers lightly on the surface before speaking after a long while:
"Wang Yu, I'm asking you to investigate someone!"
...
Lin Yuxin walked back to her courtyard, carefully placed the baby in her arms on her bed, and reached out to take his pulse.
"Has he not eaten for days? Did he faint from hunger? Coupled with long-term malnutrition and numerous bruises on his body, it's a miracle he's still alive."
Lin Yuxin saw that although the pulse was weak, there were no other problems. Her poor health could only be treated slowly.
She took some medicinal herbs from her spatial storage, brewed them for the boy, fed them to him, and then gave him a few acupuncture needles to relieve his pain.
Lin Yuxin also applied some medicine to his wounds. By the time Lin Yuxin finished doing all that, it was almost dawn.
Lin Yuxin had no intention of sleeping anymore, and instructed her maid to prepare breakfast and bring it to her room to eat.
After Lin Yuxin finished breakfast, she instructed Xiaodie to take care of the child.
Then he got up and went to his mother's yard.
"Mother!!!"
Lin Yuxin spoke before she even arrived.
"I must be hallucinating!"
Lin Shaoyang shook his head and asked hesitantly.
"No, my sister ran away from home. She probably won't be back this early!"
Lin Chenglie shook his head and said, "Who would have thought that someone who ran away from home last night would come back after just one night?"
But Lin Yuxin is like that; since no one knows she ran away from home, she can just pretend nothing happened.
"Mother, eldest brother, second brother, you're all here!!"
After Lin Yuxin rushed in, she saw that her eldest and second eldest brothers were also there, and she quickly greeted them.
[Big brother, you've been too idle at home lately, haven't you? Second brother, is business not doing well? Why are you at home every day??]
The two older brothers twitched their lips slightly and touched their noses. They had important business to attend to, you know.
Zhao Hanyue smiled at her daughter, asking nothing and pretending not to know, and gently asked:
