...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
That night.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Old Lady Jiang''s chest pain red up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
It was particrly severe.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She grabbed Jiang Wan and asked, "Where has Heir Apparent Han gone?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan looked utterly perplexed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Although her grandmother was on good terms with Eldest Princess Huiyun, it was strange to ask about Heir Apparent Han at this hour of the night.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
"He should have gone to visit Commander Jiang."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Although there weren''t many people in the household, Jiang Wan''s sources of information were quite reliable.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She was very attentive to gathering news, especially keeping an eye on Jiang Changtian''s side.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She seemed to have a premonition of danger.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
In fact, the most sensible thing to do right now would be to leave Ming County.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
But her grandmother was injured, and her parents had moved out, everything was in chaos.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
That Heir Apparent Han had been disrespectful to her mother, which deeply troubled her. She didn''t know before, but now that she had inquired, she learned that Heir Apparent Han had a penchant for married women. Her grandmother must have known this all along, yet she hadn''t said a word.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She also felt somewhat guilty. In her dreams, she only remembered how well Heir Apparent Han had treated her, forgetting his improprieties. Because he was good to her, she had subconsciously overlooked his faults.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Instead, she had let her mother dress up beautifully to wee Heir Apparent Han.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan felt a bit nauseated thinking about it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Naturally, she hoped for her parents to be well, as their well-being also affected her marriage prospects.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
When Old Lady Jiang heard "Commander Jiang," it took her a moment to realize who it referred to.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Then she began forcefully hitting the edge of the bed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
"That beast, now that he''s grown his wings, he''s capable of anything when he goes mad. He shouldn''t have gone there. Wan''er, go and call Heir Apparent Han back."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan: ...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Grandmother must be delirious from her injury. How could she possibly control Heir Apparent Han?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han, after being pped by Commander Jiang, burst into tears of joy.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Mother had hit him, Mother was willing to look at him, Mother was willing to raise a hand against him, Mother wasn''t ignoring him anymore.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He hugged Commander Jiang and wailed loudly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He was pulled away by the guards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Then he went to harass Mrs. Jiang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Before he could get close, Mrs. Jiang demonstrated a feat of crushing a rolling pin in her hand.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
"How dare you! You actually dare to take liberties with my husband! Don''t hold me back, I''m going to beat him to death today." Mrs. Jiang brandished the rolling pin.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Everyone watched as the rolling pin in her hand crumbled to dust, scattering in the wind.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia looked at that rolling pin, feeling like he might pass away at any moment.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards hurriedly restrained Heir Apparent Han.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Earlier in the afternoon, they had thought Mrs. Jiang''s hand was heavy.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Now, seeing her effortlessly crush that rolling pin, they realized Mrs. Jiang had actually been holding back.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Otherwise, with that p, the Heir Apparent''s head wouldn''t still be sitting properly on his neck.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards dragged Heir Apparent Han back to Ming County that very night.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Staying alive was the priority.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan obediently stayed behind to help clean up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia also learned to do housework.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Qin Luoxia said in surprise, "There''s no need, no need. You''re guests here, please have some tea. I''ll clean up."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Seeing that the two still wanted to help,<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Qin Luoxia said, "Why don''t you keep my husbandpany and have some tea?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Her voice was a bit louder this time.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan and Meng Shaoxia immediately stopped what they were doing.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
They looked towards Commander Jiang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Changtian flexed his wrist and said to Qin, "Xia mei, my hand hurts a bit."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Qin immediately put down what she was holding and took his hand to examine it. "It''s just a bit red, it''s fine, it''s fine."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She carefully blew on it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
"Don''t use this hand too much, don''t pick up anything. It''ll be better tomorrow."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Changtian nodded obediently, then led Eunuch Duan and Meng Shaoxia to have tea.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Earlier, when Heir Apparent Han had his outburst, Jiang Mianmian had already been carried away by Elder Sister.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Mianmian only heard some of what happened, without seeing the scene.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
What a pity.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
However, she also became more cautious, deciding that in the future, she shouldn''t casually drink the mushroom soup made by Elder Sister.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Aunt Yin had the same thought, reminding herself never to drink the young miss''s mushroom soup carelessly.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Otherwise, who knows what words might slip out, and how one might end up dead without even knowing why.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Evening breeze.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Clear tea.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan said he had learned a new way of brewing tea and asked for a chance to demonstrate.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He first put the tea leaves in the pot, being very careful to pour water along the edge of the pot, watching the tea leaves float up, then carefully poured the tea into arge cup.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
A couple of tea leaves identally made it through.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He thought he would need a strainer next time.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Therge cup was filled with jade-green tea.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The color was beautiful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He then divided the tea from therge cup into smaller cups.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
One cup for each person.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
This way, the tea leaves weren''t steeping in the tea, so it wouldn''t be more bitter as they drank.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The only drawback was gone, leaving only the fragrance and the sweet aftertaste.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Tea that loses its vor with each brew, Eunuch Duan brewed with utmost care.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
This tea was worlds apart from the kind that''s boiled and mixed with various condiments.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan was good at eating, good at appreciating, and while he might not know how to cook, he was a natural at brewing tea and serving people.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He was very skilled.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He noticed that Commander Jiang had also tapped two of his fingers.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan didn''t find Commander Jiang disrespectful at all, but rather thought he was particrly polite and well-mannered.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Changtian sipped his tea and casually asked, "Is the Heir Apparent always this unrestrained, randomly iming mothers?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan hurriedly exined, "The Heir Apparent is usually quite lively and often mistakes other women for his mother, but this is the first time he''s mistaken someone for his birth mother."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia looked at his future father-inw''s extremely beautiful face, thinking of how he had extended his slender hand and pped Heir Apparent Han, causing the Heir Apparent''s face to swell symmetrically. He had always thought it was Madam Qin who had great strength and was a bit fierce, because his own mother was quite fierce too, so he didn''t find it strange.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
But now he realized that Mr. Jiang was also quite strong.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He couldn''t tell before at all.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
As a martial arts practitioner, he had always thought Mr. Jiang was delicate and frail, looking somewhat sickly and not in good health.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Yet he hadn''t expected that when hitting Heir Apparent Han, that casual p was also immensely powerful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia made aparison: if he were to strike, he would at least need to gather his strength, and it certainly wouldn''t be easy, but he probably couldn''t achieve that swelling effect.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He had originally thought that Mr. Jiang was the weakest in the family, a schr with no strength to tie a chicken.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Now he felt a bit nervous, wondering if he and the youngest child, Mianmian, might actually be the weakest in the family.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Suddenly, he had a realization: no wonder little Yu''er treated him like her younger sister.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Could it be that in her eyes, he was as delicate as her sister?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
However, watching how his future father-inw and Madam Qin interacted, he felt he had learned a thing or two.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Hearing his future father-inw''s question,<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia also hurried to answer.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
"Eldest Princess Huiyun rarely appears in public. She used to be a prominent figure in the capital, with unparalleled beauty. Now, it''s said she''s devoted herself to Buddhism and doesn''t see anyone. The Emperor specially built a royal Buddhist temple for Princess Huiyun. Heir Apparent Han and the prince consort probably see Eldest Princess Huiyun very rarely. Legend has it that due to a fire, Princess Huiyun''s face was disfigured."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia was recounting what wasmon knowledge in the capital.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
As he spoke, he suddenly looked at his future father-inw.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Although he had never seen Eldest Princess Huiyun, he had heard that she was exceptionally beautiful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
To describe his future father-inw''s face as exceptionally beautiful wouldn''t be an exaggeration.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
On their way back, He Chen had kept talking about it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
After seeing Mr. Jiang, no other beauty could catch his eye.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan clearly thought of something too, but he kept his eyes down and started diligently making tea without a word, his attitude bing even more respectful.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia''s maternal grandfather''s family all worked in the Ministry of Justice. Although he had never worked there himself, he had grown up surrounded by it.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Even ying house at his grandfather''s home involved solving real cases.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia pondered for a moment. Though he felt it was impossible and absurd, and couldn''t quite make sense of it, once the thought urred to him, he couldn''t shake it off.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Looking at Mr. Jiang again, his facial features indeed bore some resemnce to the current Emperor.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia had never seen Princess Huiyun, but he had seen the Emperor many times.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Eunuch Duan lowered his head even more.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia then thought about Heir Apparent Han. He used to think Heir Apparent Han''s broad brows and big eyes resembled the prince consort, but now he realized Heir Apparent Han looked more like Mr. Jiang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Thest time he came here with He Chen, they first visited the Jiang residence, and he had a deep impression of Mr. Jiang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He was an elder with broad brows and big eyes, and seemed to have a good temperament.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
However, this time, before they could visit, Mr. Jiang had been expelled for matricide, which made things awkward.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Meng Shaoxia said directly, "None of us have seen Princess Huiyun, but Old Lady Jiang and Princess Huiyun were once close friends. The older generation in the capital should have seen her. Mr. Jiang might look somewhat like Princess Huiyun, which is why Heir Apparent Han mistook him."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Changtian silently drank his tea.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
It was very sweet and fragrant, with only a hint of bitterness masked by the sweetness.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han was dragged and carried back to the rear courtyard of the County Government Office by the guards, but he still wouldn''t settle down.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
One moment he was calling for his mother, the next for his wife.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He even hugged a guard and tried to kiss him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
If the guard weren''t working for his sry, he would have wanted to p Heir Apparent Han''s swollen face again.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
But Heir Apparent Han still wouldn''t calm down.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He wanted to go to the Jiang residence.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guard thought,st time you went there, it almost led to Mr. Jiangmitting matricide, and he''s already been expelled.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Now there''s only Old Lady Jiang and her granddaughter left, what do you want to do there?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
However, the guards couldn''t stop the Heir Apparent.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The Heir Apparent seemed to be in a frenzy, one moment lucid, the next insane.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Now that he said he wanted to go to the Jiang residence, he looked serious and clear-headed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards didn''t dare to stop him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
So they followed the Heir Apparent with his face swollen like a pig''s head to the Jiang residence.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Old Lady Jiang was lying in bed muttering about Heir Apparent Han when, unexpectedly, he arrived.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Old Lady Jiang felt a warmth in her chest, and it didn''t hurt as much anymore.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan was puzzled. Why would the Heir Apparente sote at night without even sending a visiting card?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
In her memory, although Heir Apparent Han was somewhat unruly, he wasn''t this outrageous.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han really came.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He said he was there to visit Old Lady Jiang.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Old Lady Jiang was lying on her sickbed. When she heard Heir Apparent Han hade, half her illness seemed to have been cured, and she didn''t feel as much pain.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She didn''t expect Heir Apparent Han to enter with his face swollen like a pig''s head.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Old Lady Jiang was stunned for a moment before recognizing him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
"What happened to your face?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
At this moment, Heir Apparent Han couldn''t feel any pain at all.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He was alternating between lucidity and euphoria.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Seeing Old Lady Jiang, he rushed over, hugged her tightly and wailed, "Mother, mother, don''t leave, mother stay with me, mother I''m scared."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards: ...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan: ...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan was dumbfounded, wondering what kind of bizarre turn of events this was.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Yet she saw Old Lady Jiang, tears streaming down her face, hugging the wailing Heir Apparent Han and saying, "Mother won''t leave, mother is always here, mother will stay with you."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards: ........<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Jiang Wan: ........<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han, either lucid or confused, paused for a moment.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He raised his head and looked at Old Lady Jiang in astonishment, suddenly pushed her away, and pped her, saying, "Who do you think you are, trying to be my mother?"<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Just as Old Lady Jiang was almost knocked unconscious by the p, Heir Apparent Han was about to leave again.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards were horrified yet numb.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
They took the half-crazed Heir Apparent out of the Jiang residence.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
They wondered if the Heir Apparent had been poisoned, but didn''t know what kind of poison could be so vicious. They had eaten the same food as the Heir Apparent but were fine.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The Heir Apparent drank soup, and the Jiang family''s daughter drank it too, but she was fine.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Could it be that the Heir Apparent was pretending to be crazy?<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
After leaving the Jiang residence, the Heir Apparent finally calmed down and returned to the rear courtyard of the County Government Office.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The guards were exhausted, worried that the Heir Apparent might cause more trouble.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
In such a small ce, if he were to do something fatal, and if he really died, these guards wouldn''t survive either.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Unexpectedly, the Heir Apparent stopped his antics and finally settled down.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
In the middle of the night, a woman carrying a baby came looking for him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
It was Mrs. Jiang from the Jiang residence.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
When Heir Apparent Han saw Wu holding the baby, he smiled with his pig-like swollen face and said, "Sister-inw, this child is beautiful, looks like you."<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He hugged Wu and the child at once.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
They slept well that night.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
The next day, before dawn.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han woke up.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
His face hurt.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
His head hurt even more.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Especially when he saw Wu and the baby on the bed.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Wu was lying down fully clothed, with tear stains on her face, looking quite disheveled yet somewhat alluring.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
She was holding a baby who was staring at him with big, dark eyes, which startled him.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He tried to recall what he had done yesterday, and how Wu ended up lying on his bed, even with a child.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
He remembered hugging Commander Jiang and calling him mother, hugging Old Lady Jiang and calling her mother, andter hugging Wu and calling her mother too.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han realized this was not good.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Early in the morning, he put on his clothes and was about to flee with his guards.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Seeing Wu still in yesterday''s clothes and the baby in her arms, he gritted his teeth and took them along.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
In a grand procession, they fled as fast as dogs.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
As they were leaving the city, they encountered a group of well-armed men bearing the Seventh Prince''s insignia.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
It was his cousin''s men.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
Heir Apparent Han didn''t have time to greet them. As if chased by vicious dogs, he left Ming County and ran all the way towards the capital.<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
...<span ss="css-1gz1n0z"><span ss="css-i073lf">0
