Chapter 1186: The Child’s Whereabouts
The nanny advised, “Palace Lord, you can’t carry a newborn baby all the time.
Once you stop carrying her, she’ll cry if you let her go.”
The Palace Lord asked curiously, ‘Why should I put her down?
The nanny was speechless.
Ling Yun came over.
The nanny greeted the young Palace Lord and tactfully left.
Ling Yun was holding an oil lamp and there was suddenly light in the room.
The Palace Lord hurriedly covered Wei Xiaobao’s eyes with her hand. Seeing that Wei Xiaobao was sleeping soundly, she turned around and glared at a certain young brat.
Ling Yun snorted and sat down beside her.
The Palace Lord said, “Go do your work. You don’t have to accompany me.”
Ling Yun said, “Do you regret it?”
The Palace Lord looked at Wei Xiaobao. “Regret what?”
Ling Yun also glanced at the little fellow who was sleeping with a smug expression. “For a burden like me, you gave up your good marriage. You won’t know the taste of love for the rest of your life and can’t give birth to a son or a daughter.”
She clearly liked children so much, but she could not have her own flesh and blood.
The Palace Lord snorted. “Then why aren’t you quickly getting me a daughter-in-law? You’re already in your twenties. Look at Little Ting. He’s a
year younger than you and already has a basket of children!”
“What do you mean by a…”
Before he could finish, Ling Yun saw the three evil disciples fighting to climb into the basket in the courtyard.
Ling Yun couldn’t stand it anymore and looked away. “If you want to…”
Yun Shuang said without thinking, “I don’t want to!”
Ling Yun said, “You didn’t even hear me finish.”
Yun Shuang said, “I don’t have to listen. You’re my son. I know what you’re going to fart when you stick your butt out!”
Ling Yun was dumbfounded.
In the courtyard.
The three little tiger heads were sweating profusely by the time Xing’er shouted at them to stop playing. It was time to eat.
The three little ones were about to run back when they immediately stopped and walked in quietly.
The three of them entered the house and walked towards Ling Yun. Ling Yun snorted. “You remember me now?”
The three of them walked around him. “We’re here see our sister.” Ling Yun, who was gradually losing favor, was dumbfounded
The three of them surrounded their sister and watched intently.
Xing’er brought water over and washed their faces and hands.
Erhu said, “Sister takes after me.”
Xiaohu patted his chest and said, “She’s not like Erhu. She’s like Xiaohu!”
Dahu muttered, “Don’t the two of you look the same?”
Xiaohu’s eyes widened. “I want to kiss my biological sister.”
Erhu said, “I want to kiss her too.”
Dahu decisively pulled away his two lackeys.
Big Brother would kiss her first.
The three little ones fought for their biological sisters.
Wei Xiaobao stretched out a small foot.
Feet rejection, feet rejection, feet rejection!
Heavenly Jade Hall.
Ji Minglou was alone in the Weapon Armory.
He had just finished practicing his sword technique.
Every time he was frustrated, he would come here to practice martial arts.
Therefore, in a sense, this was also where he hid.
In the past, after practicing for an hour, the frustration in his heart would be almost vented.
However, four hours had passed today, and he still could not calm down.
“Hall Master.”
His subordinate’s voice sounded outside the door.
Ji Minglou neatly sheathed his sword. “Come in.”
The subordinate walked in and cupped his hands at Ji Minglou. “Hall Master, I went to investigate just now and realized that Granny Ghost’s medical woman didn’t return to the Nie family with her. Instead, she moved into the Hundred Flowers Palace with the child.”
When Ji Minglou heard this, he frowned. ‘Why?”
The subordinate lowered his head and said, “I was useless and couldn’t enter the Hundred Flowers Palace to investigate.”
Ji Minglou waved his hand. “It’s not your fault. The Hundred Flowers Palace’s defense is tight. Yun Shuang and the elders are not to be trifled with.”
The subordinate heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “Hall Master, are we still moving tonight?”
A trace of hesitation flashed across Ji Minglou’s eyes.
He had always thought that the child was in the Nie family.
No matter how powerful Granny Ghost was, she was only one person.
It was not difficult for him to stall Granny Ghost and let others carry the child.
The Hundred Flowers Palace was different.
However, he had already promised his sister and could not go back on his word.
As for Yun Shuang, she had just chased after him for a day and night and had exhausted a lot of her strength. If he went to the Hundred Flowers Palace to steal the child, tonight would be the best opportunity.
Once Yun Shuang recovered her strength, it would be difficult to touch the child again.
His subordinate called out again, “Hall Master?”
Ji Minglou clenched his fists. “We’ll take action at midnight.”
His subordinate cupped his hands and replied solemnly, “Yes!”
In another courtyard, Madam Ji was interrogating the servants beside her.
There were many maidservants in the courtyard, but there were only three who had gone to the farm with her. They were all trusted aides she had promoted.
She really could not figure out who had leaked the news.
The three maidservants knelt on the cold ground.
Madam Ji sat on the cushioned official hat chair.
She picked up a cup of hot tea and gently stirred the tea leaves in the cup with the lid. “Tell me, who did it?”
Liu Zhi was the first to speak. “Madam, I’m loyal to you and will never betray you! I don’t know anything about the farm. Madam, please investigate!”
Tao Hong also said, “Madam, I’ve been in the residence recently and haven’t even gone out the door. Why are there people from the Hundred Flowers Palace interacting? Moreover, I know that Madam hates the Hundred Flowers Palace the most. I definitely won’t work for the Hundred Flowers Palace!”
In the end, only Bizhu was left.
Bizhu was not in a hurry to defend herself. Instead, she said calmly, “Madam, forgive me for being blunt, but the news might not have been leaked from us.”
Madam Ji raised her eyebrows and looked at her. “Oh?”
Bizhu said, “It’s also possible that someone followed Madam to the farm.”
Madam Ji was interested. “Continue.”
Bizhu nodded. “I think that the last time the Palace Lord and Young Palace Lord came to the Heavenly Jade Hall, it was very suspicious, especially when they searched Madam’s courtyard more carefully than anywhere else. Perhaps they came to contact the spy that day. We just need to check who they spoke to that day to know who the spy is.”
Chu Feifeng, who was standing beside Madam Ji, secretly clenched her fingers under her wide sleeves.
Madam Ji was about to continue questioning when a servant hurriedly asked to see her.
Madam Ji waved at everyone. “Disperse.”
Everyone saluted and filed out.
Chu Feifeng walked last without batting an eyelid and brushed past the secret guard dressed as a servant.
She deliberately walked very slowly, but she was pulled away by a kind maidservant. “Walk faster. Be careful not to be scolded.”
The secret guard said to Madam Ji, “Madam, the Hall Master has set off with his men. It’s said that they’re going to the Hundred Flowers Palace at midnight.”
Madam Ji’s expression darkened. “Aren’t we snatching that medicine woman’s daughter? Why is he going to the Hundred Flowers Palace?”
The secret guard said, “That medicine woman didn’t stay in the Nie family. Instead, she moved into the Hundred Flowers Palace.”
Madam Ji asked suspiciously, “What’s that doctor’s relationship with the
Hundred Flowers Palace?”
The secret guard said, “The Hall Master’s subordinates didn’t find out either.”
Madam Ji smiled mockingly. “You took action at midnight and left so early.
Look at how impatient you are. How much do you want to see your old lover?”
The servant did not dare to answer.
“You can leave.”
“Yes.”
Madam Ji called the Slave Killer over and asked him to change into night clothes. His face was covered.
She walked around the Slave Killer and sized him up. She asked doubtfully,
“Do you really think you’re as powerful as my mother said? Don’t be an embroidered pillow, good-looking but useless.”
The Slave Killer said seriously, “There’s no mission that can’t be completed.”
Madam Ji said, “Is that so? Then you’d better prove it to me. I won’t treat you badly after this is done.”
The Slave Killer asked expressionlessly, “Who does Madam want to kill?”
Madam Ji smiled faintly. “Kill? You’re wrong.. I only want you to protect my husband, but if anyone hurts him, get rid of that person for me!”
