So he hurriedly called the imperial physician to examine Xiaobao. The imperial physician took his pulse and prescribed medicine, saying that Xiaobao needs to rest carefully so as not to aggravate the disease.

Since things have developed to this point, it meant that Xiaobao could no longer stay in Qianqing Palace.

After staying up all night, Jin Wang personally went to the palace to pick up Xiaobao the next day. Xiaobao was still a little reluctant to go back and wanted to stubbornly stay here. Jin Wang was not a person who would persuade others, so he just put on a big dark face. It was Li Dequan who persuaded Xiaobao to go back, so that he can recuperate well at home and come back once he recovers. During this time when Xiaobao would no longer be around, he promised to stay by Emperor Hongjing’s side every day.

Once the old and the young made an agreement, Xiaobao finally stopped making trouble.

Jin Wang took Xiaobao back to Jin Wang Manor. Xiaobao was lying in his father’s arms with his head drooping, looking very docile and Yaoniang couldn’t help feeling her heartache.

These days when Xiaobao was in the palace, Yaoniang couldn’t eat or sleep well all day long, causing her to lose a lot of weight. Jin Wang had been busy going in and out of the palace these days. Yaoniang didn’t know what he was busy with, only that he was very busy. Emperor Hongjing’s illness wasn’t very serious, but the trouble caused by it made the family of three lose a lot of weight. Only Erbao ate, slept, and played heartlessly. His biggest worry every day was where his brother went.

After the medicine was boiled, Yaoniang fed Xiaobao with her own hands, before letting him go to bed.

Erbao also wanted to come in to see his brother, but he didn’t let him in, for fear that he might get sick accidentally.

Xiaobao fell asleep, and Yaoniang went out to coax Erbao who was making a fuss with the maid. “Be obedient, I will let you see your brother when he gets better. Otherwise, you would also get sick. Then how would brother play with you?”

It was unknown whether Erbao was persuaded by Yaoniang, or what, but he didn’t make a fuss anymore, and Yaoniang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She thought that since Xiaobao hadn’t eaten well or slept well in the palace recently, she would go to the small kitchen to make some food that suited Xiaobao’s taste. On this side, after Erbao said that he was going to go to sleep too, when the maids and wet nurses were not paying attention to him, he quietly sneaked into Xiaobao’s bedroom.

Xiaobao had this feeling that something was pressing down on him, and it was crushing him in his sleep.

He had a very bad dream. He dreamed that after he left, a person whose face could not be seen covered the emperor’s mouth and nose with a pillow. He watched helplessly, but couldn’t get up. He also couldn’t say anything since something was weighing heavily on him.

He woke up with a lot of effort, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a big smiling face in front of him.

It was Erbao.

Erbao was smiling. Before Xiaobao woke up, he had played with his brother’s ears and nose for a long time. His playing style was very different from others. He had used Xiaobao as a cushion to sit on, just falling short of riding on him.

“You little brat, you’re about to crush your older brother to death, get up quickly,” said Xiaobao with his voice hoarse.

“Brother, where have you been? Erbao hasn’t seen you for many days.” Erbao who spoke with a smile looked sweet, but all of this was an illusion. He soon revealed his true colours. Xiaobao tried to push him off of himself, but he refused to go down, insisting on sitting on Xiaobao.

“Brother, please promise me that you will take me with you wherever you go in the future, or I won’t come down.”

Xiaobao didn’t agree, so he made all kinds of noises, pulling his ears and twisting his nose. Seeing that it was useless, he started fake crying and howling. It wasn’t until Xiaobao was so tortured by him that he eventually agreed to all his conditions, that he smiled sweetly again and got off from Xiaobao.

After Erbao made such a fuss, Xiaobao felt much better. His head was not as dizzy, and his body was no longer so weak, but his nose was still running.

Yaoniang made some light food and asked the maid to bring it over. Without moving to a different place, she set up the kang table for a meal, covering the table with several dishes including one main dish and two side dishes.

Jin Wang hadn’t come back yet. He had been like this for the past while, so Yaoniang had changed her habits. Now, she eats when it’s time to eat, and she doesn’t wait for him like she used to.

She could wait, but Erbao couldn’t wait. This kid ate a lot.

He made a lot of fuss every day and was often hungry. He would start howling as soon as he got hungry.

She picked up some vegetables for Xiaobaoand also took care of Erbao. At the same time, she instructed Hongchou to send Jin Wang’s meals to the front yard.

Xiaobao remembered what his father had said to him on the way back –

“You have to lure the snake out of its hole.”

But will the snake come out?

The sky outside suddenly became overcast, even though it was still midday, it was pitch black as if it was dusk.

There was an ice block in the room, but it was still hot and stuffy.

The wind blew outside, getting stronger and stronger. Soon trees in the courtyard were blowing this way and that.

There were footsteps and shouts, but it was the maids drying things outside and they were hurrying to bring them in as they could see it was going to rain.

“It’s raining!” someone shouted.

Since there was such a rare intense shower during the day, the night was particularly cool.

After putting the two children to sleep, Yaoniang finally rested in her room.

Jin Wang was also there, and the two slept in each other’s arms.

Recently, perhaps because there were too many things going on outside the manor, with more matters on his mind, Jin Wang had less time to think about that stuff. Even if they occasionally fooled around, it usually ended fairly soon.

Yaoniang could sense that something was troubling him, but she didn’t know how to help him. She could only avoid mentioning troubling matters and talk about more pleasant things when he was free, such as the amusing things Erbao had done that day so that he could relax.

Although she was very worried about Xiaobao’s safety in the palace, Yaoniang never mentioned it. But Jin Wang was not a fool, how could he not see it? Just by looking at how visibly thinner she had become, he knew what she was thinking.

Neither of them wanted the other to know about their inner anxiety.Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovelEnglish.net

In the middle of the night, Yaoniang suddenly woke up from her dream.

She reached out to touch the person beside her, but Jin Wang was not there.
