"The yellow ones are life-saving pills, reserved for the Emperor. If he can't take it anymore, as long as he takes one and leaves me with a breath, I can find a way to save him."
Lin Yuxin thought for a moment, then took out two medicine bottles from her bosom and gave them to Li Xiaochen, instructing him to do so.
Since the Emperor wasn't worried about her health, she wasn't in a hurry either. But after all, he was the Emperor, and her life still needed to be protected. With him around, she could act arrogantly and domineeringly with someone backing her up.
"Very well, I understand!"
Li Xiaochen took the medicine bottle, nodded to indicate that he understood, and then handed the medicine directly to the guard, instructing him to deliver it to the Emperor through the secret passage.
"Have you figured out the number of spies? How many are there?"
Seeing that the matter was over, Lin Yuxin remembered what they had just talked about regarding the spies and asked curiously.
Li Xiaochen didn't speak, but looked at Leng Han, his meaning clear: You investigated, so tell me.
Leng Han: ...Where did his master learn to be so obsequious?
Leng Han had no choice but to calm himself down and reply seriously, as several people were staring at him.
"Your Highness, Princess, your subordinates have discovered no fewer than thirty spies from other countries in the capital, as well as about a hundred people of unknown origin who are carrying weapons. They are scattered around the capital, in inns, brothels, teahouses, and some residences."
Lin Yuxin frowned as she listened to Leng Han's report. Was it really that messy?
She looked at Li Xiaochen and said:
"With such a messy location, it'll be difficult for us to catch them if they make a move!"
"What can Xin Xin do?"
Li Xiaochen smiled and asked encouragingly.
"Hehe! Of course, we should leave them penniless and hungry for a few days! That way, they won't have the energy to cause trouble in the capital, right?"
Lin Yuxin chuckled and said.
"What a little rascal!"
Li Xiaochen affectionately pinched Lin Yuxin's nose and laughed.
Leng Han: ...!
How long has Your Highness been ill? It's gotten so serious! He needs to find some time to examine Your Highness and see if there's anything else wrong!
Shui Mei was used to it. After meeting the prince this time, she found that the prince was even more clingy to the princess than he was in the north city.
It's downright insane. The princess raises her hand and the prince hands her water; she glances up and he massages her back.
He practically worshipped the princess like a goddess, carefully coaxing her. He'd been fed up with their PDA the whole way! Now it's time to let Leng Han and the others see how love-struck their prince really is!
"Oh, right, there's one more thing. I'm planning to leave Xiao Hao with you; it'll be safer for him."
Lin Yuxin thought of something and said to Li Xiaochen.
[The main reason is that she doesn't know when the Emperor will actually acknowledge this son. The Emperor and Empress are both on the verge of death this time, so having Li Xiaochen by their side might give them a chance to meet as a family of three?]
Li Xiaochen glanced at Xiao Hao, nodded, and agreed.
"good!"
Just then, he had been thinking that since Lin Yuxin hadn't told them about the child's origins and the Emperor hadn't made it public, he would need to find a reason to get Xiao Hao back from Lin Yuxin.
As a result, Xin Xin sent it back directly, saving him the trouble of lying to her.
Moreover, he must take this opportunity to send the child into the palace.
To avoid bothering him with Xin Xin.
Li Xiaochen's eyes flickered as he looked at Xiao Hao.
Xiao Hao felt a chill run down his spine when Li Xiaochen looked at him; he had a feeling that this man had ill intentions.
"Sister! Xiao Hao wants to follow you!"
Xiao Hao instinctively grasped Lin Yuxin's hand and whispered.
Although he wanted to see his parents, he was afraid that if he did, he wouldn't be able to leave.
"Xiao Hao, I have to leave you here this time. The Regent's Palace is the safest place right now, and I have other things to do, so it's inconvenient to take you with me."
Lin Yuxin felt a pang of heartache looking at Xiao Hao's aggrieved face, but she couldn't risk Xiao Hao's safety this time.
First, this incident happened suddenly. She didn't know when Xiao Guojiu and his group would act, and many of them were caught off guard when they returned.
With her own abilities, it would be difficult for her to protect Xiao Hao. She also couldn't risk Xiao Hao's safety unless she used some special methods, but that would cause too much damage.
This is the capital city. If we were to use explosives or poison, it could easily harm our own people.
Secondly, the Regent's Palace is, after all, a prince's palace. She believes that Li Xiaochen is capable of protecting Xiao Hao, and besides, the Emperor has already sent someone to Xiao Hao.
Regardless of whether the Emperor has discovered Xiao Hao's identity, handing him over to Li Xiaochen is the safest option, and the one the Emperor can trust the most.
Third, she knew that if Li Xiaochen knew about the Emperor's situation, he would definitely have a way to enter the palace and come out safely, which would make Xiao Hao's meeting with the Emperor much smoother.
"Oh well!"
Xiao Hao lowered his head in disappointment, holding Lin Yuxin's hand tightly. He didn't know why, but he felt uneasy. He felt that he would have very little time to spend with his sister in the future.
Lin Yuxin affectionately patted his head and didn't say anything more, afraid that Xiao Hao would be sad, as the child seemed to be a little too dependent on her.
Afterwards, Li Xiaochen summoned Butler Mu and asked him to take Xiao Hao away and settle him in.
After Xiao Hao reluctantly left, Lin Yuxin calmed herself down and said to Li Xiaochen:
"Let's go! Today, this princess will take you out to rob the rich and help the poor!"
Lin Yuxin waved her hand and led Li Xiaochen and Leng Han out of the palace, mainly because Leng Han knew the location of those people.
That night, Lin Yuxin, along with Li Xiaochen and Zhizhi, confiscated all the wallets and valuables of all the outsiders in the capital.
