The two men were just returning from the Dali Temple where they tried Yan Xiaoman. They had a day off tomorrow, and the emperor planned to stay overnight at the Prince Su's Mansion. The brothers had a very good relationship, and the Prince Su's Mansion had a residence specially prepared for the emperor. The emperor would come to the Prince Su's Mansion from time to time, and Prince Su had gotten used to it.
When the two saw Yun Yuan, surprise flashed in their eyes at the same time, and they sent people to rescue Yun Yuan without hesitation.
"Thank you, my dear friends." Yun Yuan knelt on the ground, her shoulders shaking with tears. "Could you please help me look after the child? He was frightened and cried so hard that he fainted. Now he won't wake up no matter how hard I call."
She lowered her head, and the two of them could only see the top of her head from above. Regretfully, they withdrew their gaze, and their eyes fell on the baby in the cradle. They both felt a sense of intimacy, as if their blood was drawn together. Prince Su subconsciously took the child.
"This child..." The emperor looked at Prince Su sharply: "What is your relationship with this woman?"
Prince Su held the child carefully, puzzled by what he said: "What do you mean, my brother?"
The emperor pointed at the child's face and said, "Don't you think he looks exactly like you when you were a child? They are simply cast from the same mold."
Prince Su couldn't even remember what he looked like as a child. He was surprised when he heard the emperor's words: "Are they similar? This is the first time I've met her. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
In fact, he himself didn't believe this. The intimacy in his heart would not come without reason. There must be some reason that he didn't know.
The emperor said, "If it's not yours, then it belongs to your son."
Prince Su lost his composure when he heard this. Seeing Yun Yuan still kneeling on the ground, he asked her to get up and took her into the palace without any explanation.
"Okay, it's safe here. Tell me who the father of the child is?"
Yun Yuan bit his lip. The emperor thought he was afraid, so he asked Prince Su to call all his sons over to identify them one by one.
Five princes stood in a row, among them was Ji Zhang.
He saw Yun Yuan's face change immediately. Yun Yuan also looked at him with her beautiful eyes wide open, as if she had seen a ghost.
Prince Su understood and sternly looked at his second son, whom he had just found, and asked, "Are you the child's father?"
Ji Zhang was shocked when he realized that Prince Su was holding a child in his arms. He had many questions in his mind and didn't know how to answer them.
Yun Yuan seemed to have just realized something and turned away from Ji Zhang: "Your Highness has misunderstood. The child has nothing to do with this young master."
The emperor asked sternly, "What is your relationship?"
………………
Mu Xingzhi was entangled by Liu's men and did not escape until midnight. On the way, he met Ji Huai, who was exhausted.
"Finally found you. Where's Yun Yuan?"
Mu Xingzhi was surprised that Ji Huai was still alive and looked unhappy.
"Yun Yuan is my wife now. Please be careful with your words and actions and stop asking questions."
Based on the information he got from Duke Rong's Mansion today, Ji Huai knew that Mu Xingzhi had not been doing well recently and shook his head.
"If Yun Yuan is with you, you will be bullied and you won't have a good life. Once you lose your position as the Crown Prince, you will be worse than me. Why bother?"
Mu Xingzhi didn't want to be looked down upon by his rival, so he said, "I'm happy to do it!"
He walked forward, and Ji Huai followed Mu Xingzhi's pace.
"I came here to see Yun Yuan and my son. I'm very grateful that you treated my flesh and blood well and didn't kill him in the womb."
Mu Xingzhi snorted: "I won't be so despicable. I will respect Yun Yuan's wishes."
Ji Huai smiled and said, "Thank you anyway."
Mu Xingzhi said nothing more. If he wanted to follow, then follow. Let him meet the child. After all, he was the father of the child. His bony hands secretly clenched his clothes. What would Yun Yuan choose?
There was still a street away from where he lived. Mu Xingzhi heard the noise on the street. Thinking of his mother's unusual behavior today, his heart skipped a beat and he rushed to the villa in a panic.
Ji Huai hurried to follow.
Seeing everything in front of him, Mu Xingzhi's heart was broken.
Flames shot up into the sky, and the servants fled in panic. Mu Xingzhi didn't care what was happening. He just wanted to know Yun Yuan's whereabouts. He grabbed a guard and asked, "Where is Yun Yuan?"
The guard knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, some bandits broke in just now. We held them back, and the lady carried the young master out to seek help, and then she disappeared."
"Gone?" Ji Huai asked anxiously, "Are you sure Yun Yuan is out?"
The guard nodded affirmatively: "It is indeed out."
Mu Xingzhi let go of the guards. Opposite was the Prince Su's mansion. Prince Su was his uncle. He planned to ask if Yun Yuan was inside.
Someone was already waiting for him at the door.
"Mr. Mu, you've arrived just in time. The prince and His Majesty are already waiting for you inside."
Mu Xingzhi asked anxiously, "Is Yun Yuan in there?"
"The prince did bring a woman in." The man turned his gaze to Ji Huai: "I wonder if this young man is Ji Huai?"
Ji Huai was surprised that he knew his name, and said with a bow, "It's Ji Huai."
"Master Ji, please come in."
Ji Huai and Mu Xingzhi looked at each other, and their faces became solemn when they thought of Ji Zhang's presence inside.
Mu Xingzhi whispered, "Maybe it's not a bad thing."
Ji Huai replied in a low voice: "You don't know, my brother is not dead. He forced me to write the last letter. I was afraid that he would discover Yun Yuan's existence and force her to stay in Prince Su's Mansion."
Mu Xingzhi paused and muttered, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have chosen this villa."
Ji Huai: "No matter what, Yun Yuan cannot stay with Ji Zhang. He already has a wife and children. Yun Yuan will not have a good life here."
Mu Xingzhi: "Do you even need to tell me that?"
Ji Huai: “…………”
