Translator Note:

I changed the names Dark Guard Ten, Dark Guard Eleven, Dark Guard One, etc to An Shi, An Shiyi, An Yi, etc. The literal meaning of An is dark and the second part of their name is the number. Since they are Jin Wang's hidden guards I called them Dark Guard Ten, Dark Guard Eleven, Dark Guard One, etc. but due to recent progressions, I feel that the story would flow better if I used their romanized names. I will be making edits to all the previous chapters. Sorry for the confusion.

She laughed in spite of herself. She must be yearning for a little young master too much that she felt every baby boy resembled His Highness. Yet her hand still reached out to flip Xiaobao's ear.

Mammy Mu's movements were not obvious. From the outside, it looked as if she was just fiddling with Xiaobao's earlobes. But Xiaobao could feel the other party's hand resting on his ear, followed by some faint trembling.

Mammy Mu was still talking to Yaoniang, but there was shock in her eyes. She took a closer look at it and even used her finger to rub it a little.

Yaoniang also noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Mammy Mu. She couldn't help asking, “Mammy, what's the matter?”

“It's nothing. I seem to see Xiaobao always scratching his ears.”

Yaoniang smiled and said, “He's still teething, so he probably felt a little uncomfortable.”

Mammy Mu nodded and stood up. “You rest first. I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. My memory isn't as good as before. I'll come again to see you tomorrow.”

Yaoniang automatically stood up to see her off. Although she was a little puzzled about why Mammy Mu was leaving so soon, she didn't overthink it. She just acted as if the other party really did forget to do something. 

Mammy Mu hurried back to the small courtyard. After she was back, she didn't do anything at all. She merely sat there in a daze and it was unknown what she was thinking.

Luyao was a little puzzled and felt strange about what had just happened. There was nothing that needed to be done so why did Mammy Mu say there was? And now that she was back, she also didn't act like she needed to do something.

Mammy Mu stood up and said, “Let's go see the little princess. I haven't seen her for two days.”

When they arrived, the little princess was sleeping with the nanny guarding at the side.

Seeing Mammy Mu coming, the nanny stood up hurriedly.

Mammy Mu waved her hand, “It's okay, I only came to take a look at the little princess.” Then she sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the sleeping little princess in a daze.

Luyao stood to the side and dismissed her previous thoughts. It was likely that after holding Lady Su's son, Mammy Mu felt anxious for His Highness's sake.

After Mammy Mu left, Yaoniang wanted Xiaobao to continue playing, but he didn't seem to want to move.

She didn't force it, and simply let him sit on the couch. Xiaobao didn't play around but kept scratching his ear with his hand. Seeing him scratch so vigorously, Yaoniang couldn't help removing his chubby hand to take a look.

Seeing that there was nothing there, not even any red marks, she helped him rub the area.

“Don't scratch anymore, or else your skin might break.” 

But as soon as she retracted her hand, Xiaobao continued to scratch.

She sighed and told Hong Fei to bring a wet handkerchief over, wanting to wipe Xiaobao to see if she could make him more comfortable. Hong Fei wrung a hot handkerchief, flipped over Xiaobao's ears, and wiped the back of his ears.

“Ah! Young master has a red mole here!” said Hong Fei in surprise.

Yaoniang smiled and said, “It's no big deal. He has had it ever since he was young.”

“This servant only thinks that the colour of the red mole is very eye-catching. At first glance, it looks like a droplet of blood.” Hong Fei had thought it was actually blood. Only after rubbing it did she realize that it wasn't blood.

The two who were talking did not realize that Xiaobao's eyes were wide open in shock.

Yaoniang couldn't help feeling a little strange because Jin Wang didn't come all day.

Although he doesn't stay here at night, he would normally drop by once or twice during the day. Occasionally, he would stay at Rongxi Courtyard the entire day.

Did something happen?

The more Yaoniang thought about it, the more worried she became. Somehow, she recalled the poison in Jin Wang's body. Thinking about how he had left that day, she couldn't sit still any longer.

She said that she wanted to go to Zhaohui Hall, and a few red silks persuaded her.

It snowed over the last two days and a thick layer of white powder had accumulated on the trees. The snowy roads were also wet and slippery. If Yaoniang chose to go out and an accident happened, no one could afford it.

“Madam, if you have anything you want to say, this servant will send a letter.”

“You are pregnant.”

Yuchan glanced at the roof and walked into the inner room. As soon as she stood still, a dark shadow came down.

“Are you looking for me?” It was a very young voice, carrying a hint of nervousness and hope.

Yuchan couldn't help rolling her eyes, but she remained patient. “His Highness hasn't come for two days and Madam is clamouring to go out. Do you know what happened?” Her words seemed doubtful, but her tone was affirmative as if she was already certain An Shiyi knew about it.

Of course, he knew the reason, but he was hesitant about telling Yuchan.

“If you know something then say it! Madam is pregnant. Can you afford it if something goes wrong?!”

“His Highness's poison has broken out.”

Yuchan cried out in surprise. Before she could speak, she saw An Shiyi looking in the direction of the door behind her.

She turned her head and saw Yaoniang standing there.

“I'm going there.” Yaoniang's tone was very firm this time.

With no other options, Yuchan could only go find a top-quality heated palanquin then chose two careful and attentive servants to carry it. Together, they hurried to Zhaohui Hall.

The heated palanquin stopped at the entrance of Zhaohui Hall. Yaoniang got off the sedan chair and let Yuchan assist her inside.

Right after stepping up the first stair, a person walked out the door. This person was tall and had an ordinary-looking face, except for the scar that was from the base of the left ear to the chin, making him look menacing. Yaoniang was on the bottom steps while this person was on the top steps. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw the long scar on his face.

Yaoniang's body shook, and Yuchan automatically asked, “Madam, what's the matter?” 

Yaoniang shook her head, looked down and walked past the person.

It wasn't until the two of them were in the doorway that An Yi turned his head and glanced back suspiciously.
