Ye Yucheng stopped and looked calmly at the guards who were rushing towards him holding lanterns.
Soon, Ye Yucheng was surrounded.
When the captain of the guards saw that it was Ye Yucheng, he was so scared that he knelt down.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Grandson."
The other guards naturally knelt down as well.
After all, everyone in the palace knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the emperor's most beloved grandson and his only male grandson.
Ye Yucheng had a stern face and nodded gently. Although he was young, he was full of dignity.
The head guard was a little embarrassed. He glanced at the large characters for "Yongshou Palace" and asked uncertainly, "Your Highness, the Emperor's Grandson, why are you here?"
The bedroom prepared by the emperor for his eldest grandson is quite a distance away from here. With his short legs, it would probably take him as long as an incense stick to walk over.
"I couldn't sleep, so I just walked and ended up here." Ye Yucheng looked calm, not panicking at all as if he had been caught.
The captain of the imperial guards didn't think much of it. After all, what bad intentions could a four-year-old have? Furthermore, the child was the eldest grandson of the emperor.
"Shall I take His Royal Highness the Grandson back home?" the captain of the guards suggested. He was really worried about letting His Royal Highness the Grandson walk alone in the dark.
Ye Yucheng shook his head, "No need."
As he spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked away steadily.
He looked like a little adult, yet had an indescribable cuteness, which made the group of rough men admire him and couldn't help but respect him: he was indeed a member of the royal family, and he had the royal demeanor at such a young age.
After leaving the sight of the guards, Ye Yucheng did not return to his bedroom, but stood there with a moment of confusion on his face.
Then, Ye Yucheng turned and walked in another direction.
The small figure walked in the night, but his steps were extremely steady, making it hard to imagine that this was a little baby over four years old.
Finally, Ye Yucheng entered the nearly deserted cold palace and found a dog hole behind a thatched roof...
Ye Cangming handled official business in the study until very late.
Even after returning to the dormitory, I still couldn't fall asleep, and I felt inexplicably restless.
Just then, a guard at the door reported.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson requests an audience."
The emperor's eldest grandson?
The little face he saw in the palace that day appeared in Ye Cangming's mind.
Perhaps it was because they were related by blood, but after just one meeting, he felt particularly fond of the child.
But, what time is it now?
When Ye Cangming realized this, he quickly got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and went out quickly.
However, when Ye Cangming saw Ye Yucheng in the front hall with a disheveled look on his face and dry grass on his head, he was slightly stunned.
The next moment, a surge of anger rose from his heart.
"Who bullied you?" Ye Cangming asked coldly, his whole body filled with murderous aura.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yucheng stared at Ye Cangming in a daze. There was no fear on his delicate and pretty face, but a hint of confusion and surprise. He looked a bit cute like a baby.
But in Ye Cangming's eyes, this look showed that he had been wronged.
Just as he was about to ask further, Lin Chuan, who was standing by, could no longer bear to watch and said hurriedly, "Your Highness, the Emperor's eldest grandson is still a child. Be careful not to scare him."
It would be heartbreaking if the prince were frightened by such a beautiful child.
Ye Cangming's body stiffened when he heard this. The next second, all the coldness in his body dissipated, and he seemed to be surrounded by a soft light.
Linchuan: "..." If he hadn't blinked, he wouldn't have believed that the man in front of him was his master.
Ye Yucheng looked at Ye Cangming and pursed his lips.
His father was extremely strict with him. Even when he was assassinated, he only said that it was what he should bear as the eldest grandson of the emperor, but he never thought of seeking justice for him.
Although he was still young, he knew that his father only cared about his own interests.
Because he was his father's bargaining chip for becoming the crown prince. After all, his father had told him so since he was a child.
But, the Fifth Prince would ask who bullied him.
Thinking of this, Ye Yucheng's eyes showed a hint of admiration for Ye Cangming.
But soon, Ye Yucheng's face turned serious as he remembered the purpose of his visit.
"Uncle Emperor, no one bullied me." Ye Yucheng first comforted Ye Cangming, then said anxiously, "It was Aunt Emperor who got into trouble."
…
Three quarters past three in the morning, at the Imperial Palace.
Normally, the masters in the palace would have been fast asleep at this hour.
However, today is obviously unusual.
Because King Zhan broke down the palace gate at night and entered the palace.
When this matter reached the emperor's ears, he frowned.
"What happened to Lao Wu?" Ye Kunlin asked Eunuch Xi who was on guard.
Eunuch Xi immediately said, "Your Majesty, I heard that Princess Zhan and Miss Qin had a conflict during the day, and the Empress Dowager summoned Princess Zhan into the palace for questioning. I heard that she hasn't left the palace yet."
When Ye Kunlin heard this, he immediately said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the bedroom door in a hurry.
Eunuch Xi was startled when he saw this, then he picked up his robe and chased after him, "Your Majesty, this is even more revealing, you should put on your robe——"
Eunuch Xi paused because Ye Kunlin had stopped walking.
Ye Kunlin turned around and looked at Eunuch Xi with suspicion.
Eunuch Xi looked confused and a little frightened when he was looked at.
"You said that the fifth brother came to the palace today because of his princess?" Ye Kunlin looked at Eunuch Xi.
But from his eyes, it can be seen that he already has the answer, and he must be in a very happy mood now.
