686 Dabao Is Rescued (1)
“Dabao!”
In the courtyard on Sishui Street, Yu Wan woke up from her nap.
“What’s wrong?” Yan Jiuchao was sitting beside her. Seeing her sit up in shock, he put down the book in his hand and looked at her. “Did you dream?”
Yu Wan wiped the cold sweat off her forehead in shock. “I dreamed that Dabao fell into the water. You know, I never dream. I don’t even do it at night, let alone in the day.”
Yan Jiuchao did not say perfunctorily, “You miss your son too much.” He turned to look in the direction of the door. “Shadow Thirteen.”
Shadow Thirteen shed the two of them. “Young Master.”
Yan Jiuchao said, “To the pce.”
Shadow Thirteen understood and used his qinggong.
Shadow Six was a scout. He was much more skilled at gathering information than Shadow Thirteen, but the pce was heavily guarded. With Shadow Six’s martial arts, it would probably be difficult for him to escape once he was discovered. Moreover, the news of the children was not a secret. Shadow Thirteen could easily see them even if he went.
Yu Wan sighed softly. “Do you think I’m making a fuss?”
Yan Jiuchao rubbed the top of her head. Without the strand of hair, she was indeed much more pleasing to the eye.
“No,” he said.
Yu Wan grabbed hispel and gentlyy in his arms to look forfort. The dream was too real, and she could note back to her senses.
Among the three babies, the most pitiful one at first was Xiaobao. He was the youngest and was bullied the most by Yan Ruyu. As the three of them slowly grew up and forgot that unbearable past, they walked out of the huge shadow and lived in a gratifying manner.
However, Xiaobao and Er’bao both spoke one after another. They kept chattering all day, but Dabao always kept quiet. That child was honest. Even if he was bullied, he would notin. Yu Wan worried about him the most.
It was rare for Yan Jiuchao not to criticize her. He gently patted her shoulder and silentlyforted her.
At this moment, by the sparklingke in the pce, the Empress widened her eyes nervously and stared unblinkingly at the chubby little thing sink. She felt that her legs were no longer hers and her mind was nk.
Countless emotions shed across her heart, intertwining into a dense thin that covered her and made her unable to breathe.
It wasn’t her fault.
She was not such a vicious person.
She was jinxed by the Eldest Princess.
That was why she had lost her nature and attacked an innocent child.
“It’s not my fault… No… No…”
She staggered two steps and stared nkly at the child who sank into the water without even struggling.
“What do you think of this? Will the little masters like it?”
“It’s too small. It’s not as big as what I picked.”
Two little pce maids walked over withughter. The two of them were originally pce maids of the fruit court. Because Consort Yun had gone to pick tangerines once, the two of them knew that the little masters liked to eat the fruits they nted. In the afternoon, the two of them picked a basket and nned to send it to the Vermilion Bird Pce. Coincidentally, they passed by here.
The Empress’s eyebrows twitched. She looked at the empty garden and then at the pce maids who were gradually approaching. She gritted her teeth and jumped into the water!
“Aiya! I think I saw someone fall into the water!”
“Is that so? Let’s go and take a look!”
The two pce maids carried the basket to theke. At this moment, the Empress had already iled in the water a few times. When the two of them saw the face that appeared above the water, they were so frightened that their legs went limp and they knelt down. “Your-Your Majesty?”
The Empress ignored their fear. She took a deep breath and continued to sink into the water. When she surfaced again, there was a child in her arms.
What happened by theke quickly reached the imperial study. The Emperor was so frightened that his face turned pale. Without another word, he went to theke. The Empress had already been pulled ashore by the pce maids. She was carrying the choking Dabao in her arms. The two of them were wet, so it was not difficult to guess what had happened just now.
The Emperor strode over and hugged the drenched child.
The first person he was nervous about was not her. The Empress’s heart turned cold, but she did not show any disappointment.
“Dabao choked on water,” the Empress panted.
Only then did the Emperor look at her worriedly. “Are you alright?”
The Empress shook her head and said, “I’m fine. You should quickly get the imperial doctor to take a look at Dabao.”
“Where’s the imperial doctor!” The Emperor was furious.
Eunuch Wang quickly picked up the imperial physician with his horsetail whisk. Halfway there, he bumped into the imperial physician who had rushed over with a first aid kit. Eunuch Wang took his first aid kit. “Give me the box. Hurry up and go! His Majesty is anxious!”
