Hearing that innocent child's voice, Yun Duoduo was stunned for a moment.
【This is……】
"Don't block my way!"
[Hair loss and a large head?]
Yun Shaomu rudely pushed aside Qingdai, who was guarding the door. Qingdai had no intention of harming the little boy, but Jin Jinzhi had instructed her that she should taste anything Yun Duoduo puts in her mouth first.
Moreover, without his orders and permission, no one was allowed to enter the bedroom, and no one was allowed to see Yun Duoduo alone.
She could only muster all her strength to stop this clever little boy.
"This young master has come to see Ninth Aunt!"
The two were locked in a stalemate at the door when suddenly more than a dozen guards dressed in black landed in the courtyard.
These guards were originally hiding on rooftops, in trees, and behind walls.
This seemingly quiet and peaceful courtyard actually hides many people protecting Yun Duoduo's safety.
"Why are there so many people all of a sudden?" Yun Shaomu's hand holding the bowl trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"This young master isn't easily frightened! Get out of the way, or the medicine will get cold!" Yun Shaomu was very anxious. He touched the medicine bowl and found it was still warm, so he was relieved.
“This servant dares not stop the young master, but His Highness has ordered that anyone who forces his way in shall die.”
Qingdai had already realized that the arrogant little boy in front of her was no ordinary person, but ever since what happened with Bu Yaolian, she dared not disobey Jin Jinzhi's orders in the slightest.
"Let him in!"
Yun Duoduo's voice came from inside the bedroom.
"This..." Qingdai was still a little hesitant. The princess had also drunk Bu Yaolian's soup on her own initiative.
The guards also stood at the door, blocking Yun Shaomu's way, showing no intention of backing down.
Just then, Jin Jinzhi walked over quickly and said, "Let him in."
Qingdai nodded, opened the door, and the guards all disappeared, returning to their original posts.
"Ninth Aunt!" Yun Shaomu called out loudly as he walked in carrying a bowl of medicine.
Yun Duoduo turned her head and saw that it was Yun Shaomu who came in, followed by several other people.
"No hair left, what are you holding in your hand?"
Looking at what he was holding, Yun Duoduo's intuition told her that it didn't look like anything good.
"The physicians at the Prince of Jibei's residence are truly useless, managing to poison Ninth Aunt. I've come here to feed Ninth Aunt her medicine." Yun Shaomu spoke with genuine emotion, while Qingdai and Jin Jinzhi, standing to the side, looked quite displeased.
[Take medicine?!]
Yun Duoduo's lips twitched slightly. Could this foul smell be the medicine in Yun Shaomu's hand?
Is this kid trying to kill her again?
"Ninth Aunt, are you feeling better?"
Yun Shaomu blinked his big eyes, placed the tray on the table, picked up the bowl of dark brown medicine, approached Yun Duoduo, and sat down beside her bed.
"What kind of medicine is this? What formula did you use?"
"Ugh, my goodness, it stinks!" Yun Duoduo glanced at the medicine bowl with disgust and pinched her nose.
This herbal soup smells absolutely terrible!
Yun Shaomu would never harm her, but she would absolutely not drink it!
"Ninth Aunt, you are sick and need to take your medicine."
"It contains asafoetida, a very rare medicinal herb! My mother brought it back from Loulan; it's good for your health!"
Asafoetida is a unique medicinal herb that is perennial and bears fruit only once. The entire plant is covered with white down, and the roots are large, cylindrical or spindle-shaped, and have a very strong odor.
It can regulate qi and reduce swelling, and promote blood circulation and relieve fatigue.
"Uh, you can leave it here. It's too hot, there's no hair in it. Aunt Jiu will eat it later."
Yun Duoduo avoided him and made up an excuse to coax Yun Shaomu.
Yun Shaomu had no choice but to put the medicine bowl aside: "Ninth Aunt, it's best to drink it while it's hot, otherwise there will be dregs at the bottom if it cools down."
"Ninth Aunt, your nephew greets Ninth Aunt." A voice came from the doorway. Yun Shaoyuan walked in and bowed to Yun Duoduo.
Several servants and guards followed behind him.
Yun Duoduo was somewhat surprised by the spectacle. That head was huge! No wonder he was the eldest prince; even his entrance was so grand.
"Ninth Aunt, I took some people to the storeroom of Prince Rui's mansion and brought some things back."
“This is a mink fur coat from the Southern Rong, this is a cotton-padded coat from the Northern Desert, and this is a hand warmer from the Western Liang,” Yun Shaoyuan said, pointing to the boxes of different sizes.
Yun Duoduo then realized that the guards behind Yun Shaoyuan were each carrying something, some large and some small.
“Ninth Aunt, winter is almost here. Your illness has just started to improve, so you mustn’t catch a cold.”
"I didn't know if the Prince of Jibei's residence had these things, so I took the liberty of bringing them over. I hope the Prince of Jibei won't take offense." As he spoke, Yun Shaoyuan looked at Jin Jinzhi and nodded slightly.
What a polite nephew!
"Okay, okay."
Yun Duoduo looked at her two nephews with a face full of satisfaction.
"Qingdai, go to the kitchen and ask the mothers to make some honey cakes for the two princes!"
"Yes, this servant will go right away!"
"Why don't you come with Qingdai to see for yourselves? There are many aunties at the Jibei Prince's Mansion who can cook special dishes from the northern frontier. The kitchen here is also quite different from the Rui Prince's Mansion." Yun Duoduo tempted the two little ones. Although they were much more mature than other children, they were still children after all, and how could they not be interested in delicious food?
"Roasted scorpions, roasted lamb legs..."
Seeing the expressions on their faces, Yun Duoduo noticed that Yun Shaoyuan's eyes lit up, and a hint of childlike innocence finally appeared on his usually calm and expressionless face.
How did this eldest brother raise his two nephews?
They've almost lost all their childlike nature.
The eldest nephew is as steady and sensible as an old man who has seen through the vanities of the world, while the second nephew is like a reckless and audacious spoiled brat.
Upon hearing that they could see the unique features of the Northern Frontier, Yun Shaomu left behind the words, "Ninth Aunt, take good care of yourself," and then dragged Yun Shaoyuan out to follow Qingdai to the kitchen.
"Don't worry, by the time you come back with the honey cake and roasted scorpion, Aunt Jiu will have already finished her medicine."
There were no living scorpions in the Prince of Jibei's mansion; they were just prepared some special dishes from the northern frontier.
"Does Duoduo know more about what's in my residence than I do?" Jin Jinzhi said with a smile.
"Hey, Sumire-nii-san, even if there aren't any fresh scorpions, there should still be some dried scorpions left over from before, right?"
"Never mind those things for now."
"Brother Jinzhi, quickly pour out the medicine!" Yun Duoduo looked at the door, afraid that the two little devils would suddenly come in again.
"This medicine was personally prepared for you by your nephew, and you're willing to throw it away?" Jin Jinzhi picked up the medicine bowl and looked at him with amusement.
"Why don't you drink it?"
