Chapter 1068 Breakthrough

Chapter 1068: Breakthrough Chapter 1068: Breakthrough Editor: Atlas Studios The boy-girl twins fell asleep leaning on their mother’s shoulders.

Mu Yangling placed them on the bed before turning around to look at Qi Wensu.

She took his little hand and led him out of the inner room, then asked, “Are you not going to play with Little An and the others anymore?” Tears streamed down Qi Wensu’s face.

After a while, he couldn’t help but sob.

Mu Yangling sighed.

After all, he was only an eight-year-old child.

Mu Yangling couldn’t bear to see him like this.

She pulled him to sit beside her and waited until he was almost done crying before wiping his tears for him.

Ever since Qi Wensu returned to the palace to meet his Mother Consort, his heart had been tense.

He was used to living a carefree life in Guangzhou.

If he was bullied, his brothers would seek revenge for him.

If he caused trouble, everyone would apologize in front of the adults collectively.

Even if he was punished, he was only made to copy books and have his palm slapped.

Most of the time, he would heed Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt’s reasoning.

Even if he didn’t understand, he could always learn.

However, it was different with his Mother Consort.

If she felt that something was right, she would ask him to do it.

If he failed to do it, she would cry.

Otherwise, she would argue with him.

Royal Mother and Brother Crown Prince were clearly such wonderful people.

Why did his Mother Consort want him to be wary of them?

If the former was because of conflicting interests, why did he have to stay away from his Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt as well?

Why did she say that they would harm him?

She even said that things like Prince Rong was a subordinate while the Second Prince was the ruler.

They were both of the Qi family’s bloodline, and Fourth Uncle was his uncle.

The world was conquered by Fourth Uncle and Royal Father.

What right did he have to call himself a ruler in front of Fourth Uncle?

However, he could not tell his Fourth Aunt these treacherous words.

Otherwise, his Mother Consort wouldn’t escape the fate of death.

He felt that it wasn’t right to continue like this, so he went to look for Brother Little An.

He had always been smart and would definitely have a good solution.

In the end, Brother Little An said that the best solution was to let his Royal Father lock his Mother Consort up and not let her out.

Then, everything would be fine.

But how could he do that to his biological mother?

Even if they didn’t have much feelings for each other, he couldn’t beg his Royal Father to lock his Mother Consort up.

Hearing his response, Brother Little An was very disappointed.

After that, he stopped looking for him to play.

He didn’t even ask him to ride a horse with him when they came to the hunting grounds his time.

Perhaps he did, but Mother Consort found an excuse to decline or something.

Ever since he returned to the capital, his flow of information seemed to have been blocked.

Mu Yangling comforted him and said, “Go to Tiger Head’s place for an afternoon nap today.

I’ll get them to bring you to ride a horse in the afternoon.

You can play with them at night.

As your Mother Consort’s matter is very complicated, there’s nothing I can do about it for the time being.

But you have to know that other than your Mother Consort, everyone else is on your side.

You still have many people who care about you.

If you don’t live well, we will all be sad.” Qi Wensu couldn’t take it anymore.

He threw himself into Mu Yangling’s arms and started crying and asking breathlessly, “Will Brother Little An and the others still play with me?” “Of course.

You’re good brothers.” “But…” Qi Wensu said between sobs, “But they’ve been ignoring me for the past few days.

Are they mad at me?

There were a few times when they asked me to go out and play, but Mother Consort rejected them.

Her tone was also very bad…” Mu Yangling was shocked.

“How is that possible?

They’re not petty people.” An ominous feeling suddenly arose in Mu Yangling’s heart.

Knowing those three children were very protective of their own, how could they possibly ignore Qi Wensu?

Mu Yangling couldn’t care less.

She hurriedly asked Spring to keep an eye on the boy-girl twins in the tent before taking Qi Wensu to look for the three of them.

It wasn’t easy for the children to finally have a chance to come out, so they had all gone crazy from playing.

Not only did the three children not return to their tents for lunch break, but the children of the other officials were also staying in the forest or hunting and walking their horses on the grassland.

Mu Yangling couldn’t find them in their tent.

She turned around and smiled at Qi Wensu.

“Your Brother Little An and the others must have gone crazy playing somewhere.

You haven’t had a good rest these past few days, right?

Have a good afternoon nap today.

I’ll go get them back.” Qi Wensu nodded and watched her leave worriedly.

The servants left behind by the three children hurriedly helped Qi Wensu rest.

The four children often played together, so they were naturally familiar with each others’ servants.

Hence, although Qi Wensu did not bring anyone to serve him, the Qi servants served him to his liking.

Qi Wensu had been so conflicted these few days that he had been suffering from insomnia.

Yet as soon as he lay on the bed, he fell asleep shortly.

Mu Yangling first went to the grassland to look for the kids.

Failing to find them there, she turned around and went to the Imperial Concubines’ tents.

On the way, she passed by the Emperor’s main tent and encountered Eunuch Wan.

Eunuch Wan bowed with a smile.

“Your Highness, are you here to pick up the Young Masters?

Coincidentally, His Majesty asked me to arrange a palanquin to send them back.” Mu Yangling stopped in her tracks and couldn’t help but ask, “A palanquin?

What happened to the children?” Eunuch Wan smiled and said in a sharp voice, “The Young Masters went crazy playing today.

Not long after lunch, they fell asleep.

Now, His Majesty is talking to His Highness and the other officials.

Seeing that the Young Masters weren’t able to sit still anymore, he asked me to arrange for palanquins to send them back.” Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.

“Thank you, Eunuch Wan.” “No trouble, no trouble.” Eunuch Wan turned around and asked his sidekick to call for the palanquins.

As he walked to the side, he whispered to Mu Yangling, “Your Highness, logically speaking, I shouldn’t have said anything about this.

It’s just that the Young Masters were caught red-handed by His Majesty today and His Highness has been made aware of it.

Although the Young Masters are a little mischievous, it’s understandable.

His Majesty dotes on the Young Masters, so Your Highness should persuade His Highness not to punish them too severely.

His Majesty said that he still wanted to watch the Young Masters race tomorrow.” Feeling uneasy, Mu Yangling asked, “What did they do?” Eunuch Wan carefully glanced at Mu Yangling and whispered, “Young Prince Fan brought Second Young Master and Third Young Master to catch a few snakes and put them in Concubine Zhao’s tent to scare her.

Unfortunately, His Majesty bumped into them and they accidentally revealed their tracks.” Seeing that Mu Yangling’s expression was not good, he immediately said, “Your Highness, don’t worry.

Not many people know about this.

His Majesty discovered the snakes before they could be placed in.

They’ve all been minced into meat paste.” Mu Yangling squeezed out a smile and said to Eunuch Wan, “Thank you so much.

If you didn’t inform me, I would still be in the dark.” “This is what I should do.

It’s just that I see that Your Highness is livid and your expression is not good.

Although the Young Masters are naughty, they still know their limits.

Those snakes are all harmless little snakes that can only scare people.

You should go back and persuade His Highness.” “Okay!” She would definitely persuade him to give them a good beating.

If they dared to let snakes bite people now, wouldn’t they be letting tigers eat humans in the future?

As they spoke, the three children were carried back to the tent in a palanquin.

Other than the Crown Prince, these three brats were the only ones who could go between the tents using the Emperor’s palanquin.

From this, the ministers gained a deeper understanding of how highly-favored Prince Rong and the Duke of Peaceful State were.

Although Mu Yangling wished she could beat the three brats up, she couldn’t pull them out of their sleep lest she startle them mid-sleep.

She could only carry the three children to Wensu’s side and let the four of them sleep side by side.
