When Yuan Chaochang heard his brother's words, he immediately lay down gently.
Yuan Chaochang approached Yuan Chaokang and asked quietly, "What's going on outside? Are there assassins?"
Yuan Chaokang also said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "It shouldn't be. When we came here, my father brought a lot of people with him, and they all looked tough.
There must be something big happening at the manor. I guess Father and Mother came here just for this! They brought us along to hide it from everyone. Let's just pretend we don't know!
Yuan Chaochang thought back to the people who followed them when they left the city. They certainly looked like they were not to be trifled with, and he completely agreed with his brother's idea.
The two brothers lay side by side, both looking at the mosquito net above the bed, listening to the sounds coming from afar. Although they couldn't hear anything at all, Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang were curious!
Yuan Chaochang listened for a while, but didn't make out anything. After all, the distance was far, and only occasional sounds could be heard. Lying there quietly, Yuan Chaochang felt a little bored.
He was unwilling to fall asleep again, so he could only find some topics to talk to his younger brother next to him in a low voice.
"Brother, how long have you been awake? Did you hear anything? We both heard it, but why is there no movement outside?"
Yuan Chaokang was also quite bored, so he was particularly willing to answer his brother's questions, "I've been awake for a while, and there have been noises coming from time to time, but I didn't hear what they were clearly.
The people waiting outside have been silent."
Yuan Chaochang thought for a moment and asked in a lower voice, "Could all the people outside... have been killed?"
The more Yuan Chaochang questioned himself, the more frightened he became. He moved a little closer to his brother. He felt safer being closer to his brother.
Yuan Chaokang knew that his brother was afraid, so he took the initiative to hold Yuan Chaochang's hand.
In fact, Yuan Chaokang was also quite unsure. He didn't know what the situation was outside, but he and his eldest brother, the two kids, ran out rashly.
Maybe I can't help my father and mother, and maybe I will even ruin their plans.
Even though he was thinking about it, Yuan Chaokang still listened carefully to the movements outside. In case there was any disturbance, he could be prepared in advance.
Yuan Chaochang was even more frightened when he saw that his brother only held his hand and did not answer his question. "Brother, why don't you answer me?"
"Brother, don't worry too much. With Father and Mother here, we'll be fine.
If something serious happens and my father and mother are gone, it would be nice for us to go down and accompany them."
After Yuan Chaokang said these two sentences, he added his conjecture, "I think those servants outside probably just took some kind of sleeping pill. They probably weren't killed."
We were both awake, and maybe they thought we were children who wouldn't wake up easily, so they didn't drug us. So we just lay there and pretended to be asleep."
Yuan Chaochang thought about what his brother said. Their father and mother were both very powerful. As long as one of them was still alive, no one could harm them.
If they were all gone, he really wouldn't have much attachment to this world, so it would be nice to go with them.
He wanted to always be the son of his father the king and his mother the queen, one who would indulge his willfulness and the other who would support him. How happy it would be!
After figuring this out, Yuan Chaochang's hands stopped sweating, and he and his brother pricked up their ears, listening carefully to the sounds coming from afar.
Sometimes the two brothers would debate in low voices, discussing what the sound they heard was.
It was not until a long time later, when the sky began to brighten, that the brothers Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang stopped hearing any sound.
Suddenly, silence fell in the distance, and the two of them began to tense up again. Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang both fell silent.
It felt like a long time had passed to the two of them. When Yuan Chaokang heard footsteps approaching from afar, he suddenly relaxed.
Yuan Chaokang turned around and whispered to his brother, "Close your eyes and go to sleep!"
Without saying a word, Yuan Chaochang immediately used the method his brother taught him, adjusting his breathing, clearing his mind, and thinking about falling asleep.
Anyway, when Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua tiptoed in, they saw two children sleeping back to back.
Zhou Qiongyue and the other person took a quick look and then tiptoed out.
Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Bohua left the house and whispered, "These two brothers have a great relationship!"
Yuan Bohua thought about the two guys who were pretending to sleep just now, smiled, and did not expose them, "They really have a good relationship."
Yuan Bohua had been deceived by these two guys before, but after competing with them many times, Yuan Bohua can now tell whether they are pretending to sleep or not.
Especially since the way they both pretended to sleep looked the same, Yuan Bohua suspected that Yuan Chaochang was also taught by his youngest son.
However, this is also what Yuan Bohua has experienced in recent years in suppressing bandits. He has been on the battlefield with real guns and swords, and only by seeing blood can he tell the difference.
Normally, these two kids could be fooled by their skills. For example, Zhou Qiongyue, after spending so much time with them, still didn't realize they were pretending to sleep.
However, Yuan Bohua also sighed in his heart, "These two boys are really alert." He was even more proud. They were worthy of being his and Yue'er's children.
After Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang saw their father, the king, and their mother leave, they smiled at each other and went back to sleep. After staying up all night, they were both extremely sleepy.
On the second day, Zhou Qiongyue and her family of four successfully got up late. To be precise, they had a late lunch together.
Among them, Yuan Bohua even asked Yuan Chaochang and Yuan Chaokang why they got up so late in front of Zhou Qiongyue during lunch.
Yuan Chaokang's excuse was impromptu, "Maybe I'm in a good mood after coming to the farm, so I just want to sleep a little longer."
Yuan Bohua then turned his gaze to his eldest son, Yuan Chaochang, "What about you?"
Yuan Chaochang pointed at himself and looked at Yuan Bohua with an incredible look, "Father, I have to practice martial arts every day and go to the palace to be a tutor. I get up earlier than the chickens and go to bed later than the dogs.
I finally came to the manor and don't have to go to the palace to study. Isn't it normal to want to sleep a little longer?"
Zhou Qiongyue liked to sleep in when she was a child, so she certainly wouldn't ask her sons to get up early every day.
Zhou Qiongyue thought it was okay to sleep in occasionally. "Your father is just concerned about your health and doesn't mean to scold you."
After Zhou Qiongyue finished speaking, she looked at Yuan Bohua with burning eyes.
Yuan Bohua snorted in his heart, "Two cunning little bastards", but on the surface he continued to agree with what his princess said.
A qualified husband will never bring down his wife in front of his children.
