Yun Hongzhi's words fell for a long time, and seeing that Di Wuming did not respond, he raised his eyes in some confusion, and saw that the prince had his eyes downcast and didn't know what he was thinking. He felt a little uneasy. Although he was the prime minister, he also knew that this prince was a person who did not play by the rules and was extremely difficult to serve. What's more, his relationship with Prince Han was a bit delicate, and his second daughter was Prince Han's concubine. Naturally, his position was on Prince Han's side, so when he heard that the young master had entered Prince You's Mansion, his heart skipped a beat, but he had to bite the bullet and respond.

"The man who saved the fourth brother's son has already left. The Prime Minister is late."

The next moment, Di Wuming's voice was heard.

Yun Hongzhi's eyes flickered. "That's a pity indeed. I wonder if the girl who saved him left her name?"

Emperor Wuming snorted and laughed, "No."

Yun Hongzhi naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't understand why this Prince You was hiding the truth and refused to tell it. He smiled and said, "This is really a pity. That woman is Ziyi's lifesaver. I should be grateful to her."

Emperor Wuming raised his sword-like eyebrows and could not deny it.

"Your Highness, Ziyi has been in poor health since childhood, and this time he ran out and got so frightened. I will not disturb you any more. I will take the child away now. I would also like to thank Your Highness for saving his life on behalf of Ziyi."

Yun Hongzhi said respectfully.

Di Wuming tapped his knees with his slender fingers. It was obviously a simple action, but it revealed a sense of arrogance. Yun Hongzhi didn't dare to leave until he nodded. This silent oppression made Yun Hongzhi's heart sink, because he didn't know what Di Wuming meant.

Just as Yun Hongzhi was getting more and more anxious, he heard Di Wuming's voice, "Prime Minister Yun, what you said is serious. You don't have to thank me. After all, this child calls me his uncle. But Lord Yun, you can't take this child away."

Yun Hongzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "My Lord, what do you mean by that?"

Yun Chaomu in the inner room also moved his eyes, not knowing what Di Wuming wanted to do, and then he heard Di Wuming's voice, "Prime Minister Yun, this child needs to be brought by the Seventh Brother himself."

Yun Hongzhi frowned and was about to speak when he saw Di Wuming had already given the order, "Leng Feng, send someone to notify Prince Han and his concubine to take the child away in person. This child is so young, but he has a deadly poison in his body. I must find out what is going on. Otherwise, if this child leaves Prince You's Mansion, I will not be able to explain it."

Just a few short sentences, but they carry an undeniable sense of oppression.

Yun Hongzhi's face suddenly changed and turned pale.

In other words, he knew that the child was poisoned.

"Lord You, actually this child..."

He pondered for a while and was about to speak, but he saw Di Wuming raised his hand, as if impatient, and interrupted him.

"Don't say it in front of me. I don't want to know."

he said.

With a cold tone and a tough attitude, Yun Hongzhi immediately shut up, holding Xiao Ziyi and standing silently aside, not daring to speak again, just lowering his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

The hourglass ticked away, and the room became very quiet.

Yun Chaomu in the inner room turned pale. The painful past that whistled in her mind almost overwhelmed her. She really wanted to rush out and ask Yun Hongzhi why he treated her like this, but she knew she couldn't reveal her identity.

At this moment, the pain like a tide passed, and another question jumped into Yun Chaomu's mind. She looked at the child in Yun Hongzhi's arms, puzzled, why was he poisoned? He was the first child of Yun Qianqian and Xiao Zhan, born with a golden spoon, why was he poisoned? And the bruises on his body were obviously caused by abuse, who did it?

But the thought flashed through her mind and she suppressed it. What did this have to do with her?

Just now, she was still asking herself, if she knew in the long alley that the child was Xiao Zhan and Yun Qianqian's, would she still help him? Would she still bring him to Prince You's Mansion?

she does not know.

"Yun Xiang, please sit for a while. It's tiring to hold the child."

Di Wuming's voice brought Yun Chaomu back to his senses.

She saw Yun Hongzhi wipe the sweat from his forehead, thank him and then sit on a chair beside him. At this time, footsteps were heard outside, followed by a messenger, "Master, Prince Han and his concubine are here."

As the announcement came, two figures hurried in from outside. Yun Chaomu raised his eyes and saw Xiao Zhan, dressed in black, striding towards him. His face was as cold as ice in winter. Behind him followed Yun Qianqian, who was wearing a veil to cover her face, probably because her last injury had not healed yet. Her eyes, which were exposed, were red and swollen, and it was obvious that she had been crying.

As soon as she entered the room, Yun Qianqian whimpered and rushed to the position of Yun Hongzhi and Xiao Ziyi.

"Yier, my Yier, where on earth have you been? Do you know that your mother is really worried about you? Wuuwuwu..."

Yun Qianqian hugged Xiao Ziyi tightly and began to sob. Her sad and anxious look was heartbreaking.

But Yun Chaomu just watched coldly, his eyes were surprisingly red, but he inexplicably felt a sense of relief in his heart. Yun Qianqian, is there someone you care about too?

"Qian'er, don't cry. You scared Yi'er. The child is fine now. It was Prince You who saved the child."

Yun Hongzhi spoke out.

Yun Qianqian then stood up from the child, and with red eyes, she bowed in the direction of Di Wuming and said, "Thank you, Prince You, for saving my life."

"Oh, it wasn't me who saved him. Fourth brother should have found out clearly before coming here. Someone else saved the child."

Di Wuming pulled the corner of his mouth lazily and looked at Xiao Zhan.

"Seventh brother, my brother still doesn't know what's going on and hasn't had time to check it out. I wonder what happened to Ziyi?"

Xiao Jue's face was gloomy, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were dark, as if he had not rested for a long time.

"Oh, Fourth Brother still doesn't know the inside story? I forgot that you are currently hunting down assassins, so you don't have time to pay attention to other things."

These words sounded calm, but somehow they seemed to contain a hint of sarcasm.

Xiao Juehan's eyes narrowed slightly, his face was gloomy, and he pursed his thin lips. Then he listened to Di Wuming say, "The child somehow fainted on the street, and was in critical condition. He was rescued and then sent to this prince's residence."

Xiao Zhan pursed his lips even tighter, and glanced at the silent child with his head lowered. His brows were knitted into knots, and there was no urgency or sadness or joy on his face. He only asked, "Who saved him?"

"What does Fourth Brother mean...?"

"The king will reward you handsomely."

Xiao Zhan said.

Emperor Wuming chuckled, a little lazy, a little arrogant, "My royal brother wants to reward you handsomely. After all, this child is your only offspring. It is said that the situation was dangerous at the time. If that person had not rescued him, the child's life would not have been saved at all."

Yun Qianqian’s body trembled.

Yun Hongzhi hurried to see Xiao Zhan's expression.

Xiao Zhan's face was extremely tense and cold, and he only said, "I will take care of it."

"Miss Meng, the fourth prince said he wanted to reward you handsomely for saving his life. Are you willing to come out and claim it?"
