Did The Young Prince’s Kingdom Get Destroyed Today? Chapter 91

Zhai Bai didn’t come back, but neither Ah Wu nor Teng Liang reacted much.

Teng Liang cleared the table and the hotpot, while Ah Wu found a change of clothes, preparing to take the little one for a bath.

The hotpot had left a strong smell, which had clung to their clothes and skin. They needed a good wash to get rid of it before going to sleep.

“Little Bai still hasn’t come back.”

The little one tugged on Ah Wu’s sleeve, glancing at Zhai Bai’s empty bed.

Ah Wu gathered the clean clothes and grabbed two extra basins. He glanced at Zhai Bai’s bed and calmly said, “Don’t worry about him.”

Seeing the little one still looking at the bed, Teng Liang reassured him, “Relax, he’ll be fine. He’ll probably be back later.”

“Come on, Zai Zai, it’s time for a bath. You smell like the hotpot.”

With Teng Liang and Ah Wu’s reassurances, the little one hesitated for a moment but then followed Ah Wu to take a bath.

Holding Ah Wu’s hand in one hand, the little one sniffed his other hand. “It smells like hotpot.”

“Yeah, the smell is too strong. You need to wash it off before bed.”

“Okay.”

The bathing area had several tubs, as well as places to shower while standing. You could either wash standing up or soak in the tubs.

Each person had their own tub, so they didn’t share.

Ah Wu filled the little one’s tub with water, letting him soak in it.

The little one took his time soaking, while Ah Wu finished his bath quickly.

Afterward, Ah Wu brought over the basin and started washing their dirty clothes.

There was no one to do the laundry for them here, though they could hire someone to wash clothes if they wanted.

Teng Liang and the others hired people to do their laundry, but Ah Wu didn’t. He wasn’t short on money; he just felt it was something he could do quickly and didn’t need to bother anyone else with.

“Ah Wu, Zai Zai can wash clothes too.”

The little one leaned over the edge of the tub, watching Ah Wu wash clothes, and said softly, “Zai Zai can help you wash clothes.”

“There’s no need. I can wash them faster.”

Ah Wu didn’t let the little one wash anything. As long as he was around, the little one didn’t need to do any chores.

Ah Wu washed the clothes carefully, especially the little one’s clothes.

The little one liked wearing light-colored clothes, but they got dirty easily. After just a short while, they’d become messy and stained.

Despite that, Ah Wu never complained about washing them.

The two of them, one washing clothes and the other soaking in the bath, took their time before heading out together.

Ah Wu hung the clothes to dry in the courtyard while the little one, dressed in white pajamas, obediently waited for him.

As the little one waited, he looked up at the sky.

He saw a sky full of stars. Tonight, the stars were especially numerous and bright. “Ah Wu, why are there so many stars in the sky? How did they get up there?”

“The night is too dark. The sky is worried you won’t be able to see your way, so it hung the stars up there for you.”

The little one’s face lit up with joy, his eyes twinkling as he heard this explanation.

“The stars are for me?”

“Yes, just for you.”

Ah Wu had finished hanging the clothes. He stood with the little one in the courtyard, and they watched the stars for a long time.

The little one tilted his head back until his neck grew sore, then finally agreed to go back inside.

“The stars are so pretty. Do you think Dad, Mom, and my brothers can see them too?”

“They can.”

Hand in hand, the two of them slowly walked back to the room.

Meanwhile, under the same starry sky, in the palace of the Qi Dynasty, Emperor Ling angrily threw the bowl of medicinal soup brought by a servant.

“My headache isn’t even that serious! If they keep bringing me this bitter medicine every day, it’ll make me sick even if I wasn’t sick before!”

After Emperor Ling threw the medicinal soup, his gloomy expression still didn’t improve.

Since returning to the capital, a mountain of issues awaited him, causing his temper to flare up frequently. The stress and anger made him lose his cool every few days.

Seeing the situation escalating inside, Lu Guang quickly found a young eunuch and ordered him to fetch the noble consort from Fenghua Palace.

The young eunuch ran off immediately. Before long, Noble Consort Yi arrived with her attendants, but she didn’t let them accompany her inside. She entered alone.

“Your Majesty, how do you like my outfit today? Does it look good?”

Emperor Ling glanced at her clothing upon hearing the question. “Your outfit is rather unique. Where did you get it from?”

“It’s a gift from Little Seven.”

Noble Consort Yi smiled and pulled out another set of clothes. “This one is for you. Little Seven also sent another thick stack of letters.”

Seeing the clothes in her hands and hearing about the letters, Emperor Ling’s expression finally softened.

Noble Consort Yi, as if not noticing his mood change, continued to sit close to him, chatting gently.

“Little Seven wrote in his letter that he helped the chief examiner of Guan Shan Residence exorcise a ghost. He even drew a picture of it, saying we should admire his bravery.”

As Noble Consort Yi shared the contents of the letter, a faint smile appeared on Emperor Ling’s face. “Was he really exorcising a ghost, or just causing trouble for others? How did the chief examiner react? Didn’t he spank him?”

“You like spanking Little Seven, but that doesn’t mean others do.”

Noble Consort Yi teased him before continuing their conversation.

As they talked, Emperor Ling’s mood gradually calmed. He called the servants to clean up the broken porcelain. As for the people who brought the soup, he didn’t show them any further displeasure.

With the emperor’s mood turning from dark to light, Lu Guang, who had been waiting at the door, breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just as he relaxed, inside the palace, Noble Consort Yi felt her heart tighten again because of one question from Emperor Ling.

“Yi Er, tell me, I treat Little Seven so well, so why doesn’t he want to stay by my side? Why does he insist on going to Guan Shan Residence?”

The question was dangerous. Noble Consort Yi’s expression remained calm, and she even smiled helplessly before answering, “Have you forgotten? It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay with us. When he was about to leave, he woke up in the middle of the night, crying and holding our hands.”

“That little guy cried so much on the day he left.”

“It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay with us. It’s just the nature of children. He heard that studying at Guan Shan Residence was fun, so he insisted on going.”

“Look at him now, writing letters home every day.”

Noble Consort Yi said, as if suddenly remembering something, she whispered to Emperor Ling, “Oh, by the way, Little Seven also said that he found many great things at Guan Shan Residence and wants to bring them back for us.”

“We already have everything in the palace. What could he possibly bring back that we don’t already have?”

Though Emperor Ling’s words were dismissive, the dangerous question had finally passed.

Even though that issue was resolved, Noble Consort Yi turned her head, her eyes growing cold.

Emperor Ling wouldn’t ask such a question for no reason.

Clearly, someone had been sowing discord, trying to cause trouble concerning her little one.

The power struggles in the palace were far removed from the innocent little one at Guan Shan Residence.

At that moment, after watching the stars, the little one had returned to his room.

As soon as he entered, the first thing he did was glance at Zhai Bai’s bed.

“Little Bai still hasn’t come back.”

The little one reminded them again, but even after his reminder, Ah Wu and Teng Liang showed no signs of searching for him.

“Ah Wu.”

Having lived together for so long, the little one always worried when someone was missing, whether it was Teng Liang or Zhai Bai.

He stared hopefully at Ah Wu, who sighed after a few seconds and sat up from the bed.

“Teng Liang.”

Ah Wu called out to Teng Liang.

Teng Liang, who wasn’t in the mood to sleep, was also too lazy to look for Zhai Bai. Before entering Guan Shan Residence, he and Zhai Bai had a history of grudges.

If Zhai Bai was in trouble, that would only make Teng Liang happy.

“Ah Wu, I’ll go look for him. You stay and rest.”

The little one looked at Ah Wu eagerly, clearly hoping for permission to go search as well.

“Forget it. I’ll go find him.”

“Fine, neither of you needs to go. I’ll go.”

After some back and forth, they all ended up going together.

The little one, seeing Teng Liang’s scowling face, reached out his small hand, offering it to Teng Liang.

Ah Wu held his left hand, and now Teng Liang could hold his right.

As soon as Teng Liang grasped the little one’s soft hand, his frown turned into a smile.

“This is so strange.”

Holding the little one’s warm, soft hand, Teng Liang asked, “We eat the same food, but how come your little hands are so soft and squishy?”

Ah Wu shot him a look, as if staring at an idiot.

His little one was only three years old, still round and chubby. Not just his hands, but even his little feet were soft.

After searching for a while, they found a clue.

“Someone came to Guan Shan Residence at dusk, asking for Zhai Bai.”

A child who had last seen Zhai Bai said this, but he didn’t know who it was that had come for him.

After thinking hard for a while, the child could only add, “I think it was someone from his family, but I’m not entirely sure.”

As soon as he heard it was possibly a family member, the little one frowned.

After spending time here, the little one knew all too well that, aside from himself, the other children who came here usually had tough situations at home.

Even the smiling Ye Xiaoxiao had been sent here after her older sister’s power struggle had failed.

Her sister had sent her here to protect her.

If Ye Xiaoxiao had stayed at home, she might have died.

In her family, women held the power.

“Ah Wu, let’s ask the chief examiner.”

The little one had gone to the chief examiner so many times that now, when there was a problem, he thought of the chief examiner first.

Ah Wu wasn’t in the mood to see the chief examiner’s face.

He calmly said, “Master Sui’s place is closer. Let’s go find him.”

“That works too.”

The little one nodded and went to look for Master Sui.

By this time, Sui An was already in bed, sleeping soundly.

While he was sleeping peacefully, someone began banging on his window.

At first, Sui An pulled the blanket over his head, intending to ignore it.

What he didn’t know was that the last person the little one had woken up with window banging had done the exact same thing.

They all pretended not to hear.

But in the end, they all got woken up anyway.

When Sui An finally got up, his face was dark.

He turned on the light and looked at the window.

The little one, clinging to the window, flashed him a big smile.

Sui An: “…”

With a blackened face, Sui An walked over in a few steps and opened the window.

“Why are you banging on my window in the middle of the night?”

“I… I wanted to see if you were asleep.”

The little one, having woken him up, answered honestly.

He had to knock on the window and check if the person inside was asleep before taking further action.

Even though he wasn’t sick, Sui An almost got sick from the frustration.

Rubbing his temples, Sui An said, “I was sleeping. Go back now.”

“But you’re not asleep.”

The little one took advantage of the moment and flipped over the window, clinging to Master Sui. “Master, Little Bai hasn’t come back to sleep. Do you know where he is?”

“It’s so late, everyone is supposed to be asleep, but Little Bai hasn’t returned to sleep.”

“Who said he’s the only one not sleeping? Aren’t you all awake too?”

Sui An replied, irritated, “Now I’m not sleeping either.”

“Master, Little Bai is still a child. Someone needs to take care of him.”

It was so late, and the adults had to step in when a child was missing.

“Master, please take care of it, take care of Little Bai.”

Seeing that the little one was about to climb on him, Sui An held him by his small bottom, preventing him from falling while saying, “Little Bai will be fine. The office knows where he is. This is their responsibility. If you’re worried, go ask Zhang San.”

Hearing this, the little one nodded, slid down from Sui An, and waved his little hand. “Master, we’ll go find Uncle Zhang San now. You should sleep early. Don’t stay up too late—adults who stay up late will go bald.”

Sui An: “…”

Instinctively, Sui An touched his own hair. After confirming there was still plenty of it, he felt a bit relieved.

After reminding Master Sui, the little one went off to knock on Zhang San’s window.

The little one was very familiar with Zhang San’s place.

He knocked for a while, but Zhang San, who was snoring in his sleep, didn’t hear a thing.

The little one wasn’t worried. He gave up on the window and led Ah Wu and Teng Liang around to another side.

Zhang San had a broken window he’d been too lazy to fix.

The little one crawled through the broken window, telling Ah Wu and Teng Liang to wait outside while he went in to wake him.

It wasn’t polite to wake someone in the middle of the night.

But with a child missing, they couldn’t just not wake up an adult.

The little one sat by Zhang San’s bed, hesitated for a moment, then softly called, “Uncle.”

Calling so softly wasn’t enough to wake Zhang San.

But calling louder felt impolite in the middle of the night.

After struggling internally for a while, the little one decided to gently wake him up.

His soft voice sounded close to Zhang San’s ear: “Uncle Zhang San, wake up.”

“Wake up, Uncle Zhang San.”

The little one’s slow, soft voice echoed eerily by Zhang San’s ear, causing cold sweat to bead on his forehead.

While the little one was inside, Ah Wu and Teng Liang were waiting outside.

Teng Liang glanced inside, saw the little one leaning over the bed, and after a moment of silence, asked, “Do you think the little bun calling Zhang San like that won’t scare him to death?”

In the middle of the night, anyone would shiver if they heard a soft voice by their ear.

Once they shivered awake and turned around, they’d see the little one grinning at them.

If it were him, he’d probably faint on the spot.

Ah Wu peeked inside as well and calmly said, “No, Zai Zai knows his limits.”

He’d called his third brother like that before, and his brother, who was sickly, didn’t die of fright.

Zhang San was an adult; he wouldn’t die from it either.

If he did, Ah Wu would just take the little one and pretend they were never there.
