In the royal family, twins were considered unlucky, so one had to be killed and the other alive.

The child who was left behind was stained with the blood of his brothers as soon as he was born, and was destined to be rejected by the emperor.

Therefore, if a woman in the harem gave birth to twins, those who were able to conceal it would keep the stronger child and announce to the outside world that there was only one.

As for the abandoned child, there is a high probability that he will die. After all, it is much more difficult to sneak a living child out of the palace than to deal with a dead baby.

Moreover, sending him away secretly would cause endless troubles, so it would be better to endure the grief and send him to be reborn.

Fuyun is the one of the twins who decided to be abandoned.

The queen placed her palm on the baby's neck several times, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. After all, this was the child she had carried for ten months, and blood was thicker than water.

The nanny and palace maid who were her confidants were a little anxious.

"Your Highness, we can't delay this any longer. If the Emperor finds out when he returns from court, it will be bad for the two princes."

"Yes, my lady, you must not be soft-hearted now."

Xie Eryun's face was still pale as after giving birth. She was silent for a while, but finally made a decision.

"Go and ask Yi Zuo to come over."

Yi Zuo is the leader of the secret guards, the emperor's henchman and eyes and ears, and one of Emperor Chongming's confidants. On the surface, he has no relationship with Jie Eryun at all.

But what no one knows is that before Xie Eryun entered the palace to become queen, she had an unknown past with Yi Zuo.

Yi Zuo came over very quickly. A screen had already been moved into Fengyi Palace to separate the two of them. The child she decided to abandon was also fed some sleeping pills by the nanny. At this moment, the child was sleeping soundly in his cradle, with no idea what his fate would be.

At Xie Eryun's signal, the trusted nanny handed the sleeping baby to Yi Zuo, but he took a step back and did not take it.

Instead, he asked in surprise, "What does your Majesty mean?"

Behind the screen came Xie Eryun's weak voice: "Help me take this child away."

Hearing this, Yi Zuo's eyes changed slightly, as if he had thought of something. He lowered his head to look at the baby in the nanny's cradle. The baby's breathing was weak and shallow, but when he used his inner perception, he could tell that there was another equally weak breathing sound in the hall that belonged to the baby alone.

Xie Eryun's next words confirmed his thoughts: "This baby is twins."

Yi Zuo also knew what twins meant in the royal family, and he also knew Xie Eryun's intention of asking him to come over.

He took the baby from the nanny with a somewhat ugly look on his face.

"I'll help you get him away."

Xie Eryun breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Yi Zuo was still willing to help her.

"Thank you."

Yi Zuo tightened his grip on the baby, but didn't say anything else.

Just as he was about to leave with the baby, Xie Eryun suddenly said, "Similar appearances are ultimately a calamity."

Although she felt somewhat guilty about the newborn child, there was a possibility that an accident might happen and the two children might be mixed up.

Therefore, it is necessary to add an extra layer of insurance so that no matter where the child is in the future, he or she will not pose a threat to the other one.

Yi Zuo paused and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

After she finished speaking, she took the baby and left Fengyi Palace quietly.

But when he wanted to send the baby out of the palace, something unexpected happened.

Emperor Chongming summoned him urgently, and Yi Zuo had to rush over.

He was also worried about handing the baby over to someone else to handle this matter, fearing that this matter would be used as evidence to threaten Xie Eryun.

After some thought, Yi Zuo placed the baby in the place where secret guards were trained, where a new batch of orphans had just been selected to be trained as secret guards.

However, the youngest of that group of orphans was already 3 years old. The baby was still too eye-catching, and his appearance was also a problem.

Nowadays, other people don’t care what a child looks like because they have never seen the little prince who stayed with Xie Eryun.

It would be bad if I saw them again in the future and then associated their appearances with each other.

Yi Zuo looked at the baby in his arms and frowned. His newborn baby was weak and he didn't want to take action now.

But he was in a hurry now, Emperor Chongming was still waiting for him, and there was no other choice.

Yi Zuo drew the long sword from his waist, and the cold blade scratched the baby's brow, leaving a hideous wound on the right eye.

Blood instantly dyed half of the baby's face red. The baby, who had been unconscious due to taking sleeping drugs, was awakened by the pain and let out a cry as thin as a mosquito.

Seeing this, Yi Zuo's hand, which was originally about to inflict another wound, suddenly stopped and seemed to be hesitant to do it.

He was silent for a moment, and finally put the sword back into the scabbard.

Forget it, I'll wrap half of this little thing's face with a bandage later so that others won't be able to see its true appearance and naturally won't have too many associations.

After the baby's wounds heal, we will make a custom mask for him. This way we can fool people and then find a way to send him out of the palace. It would be best to send him to a place far away from the capital. Then we won't have to be so cautious.

Yi Zuo applied medicine and bandaged the baby's wounds according to the ideas in his mind. He had been injured before and was extremely skilled in dealing with this kind of injury.

Moreover, although his attack just now looked ruthless, it did not injure any bones or muscles, but it would leave scars. He had already mastered this skill when he was helping Emperor Chongming to interrogate people.

But in just a moment, a baby with its face wrapped like a mummy was born in his hands.

Yi Zuo looked at the baby for a while and then, with satisfaction, took him to the place where the secret guards were trained. He asked his men to keep an eye on the baby while he went to the imperial study to see why Emperor Chongming came to see him as soon as he finished his court session.

The secret guard who was stuffed with a baby had a face full of questions, but he still looked after the baby diligently with a stern face, and even found a wet nurse to feed the baby once.

On the other side, as soon as Yi Zuo entered the imperial study, he found the atmosphere inside extremely solemn, and thought to himself that there might be trouble again.

As expected, Emperor Chongming assigned him a matter that was the subject of a heated debate in the court and asked him to collect the crimes of both parties.

After Yi Zuo received the order and came out, his brows were furrowed. This time everyone's eyes would be focused on him. The baby could not be taken out of the palace at this critical juncture. He would probably have to stay in the dark guard training place for a long time.

Out of the corner of Yi's left eye he saw a young eunuch entering the imperial study with a look of joy on his face. His eyes narrowed. He recognized the young eunuch. He was from Fengyi Palace. He thought that he should go there to inform Emperor Chongming that the Empress had given birth to a prince.

Yi Zuo avoided the crowd and quickened his pace to rush to Fengyi Palace, determined to get there before Emperor Chongming arrived.

Since the baby had to be left in the palace first, he naturally had to go to Fengyi Palace to inform Jie Eryun about this so that she could be mentally prepared.

After Xie Eryun learned the news, he was silent for a moment and just said, "You can make the arrangements."

After getting the reply, Yi Zuo didn't stay any longer, he wanted to go and see the little thing.

Emperor Chongming arrived at Fengyi Palace just as Yi Zuo left. After seeing the newborn prince, he was overjoyed. The gloom in the imperial study disappeared, and he immediately gave the newborn prince a name.

His name is Zhuo, which means he can be as bright and beautiful as jade in the future.

On the other side, Yi Zuo fell into deep thought as he looked at the child who had fallen asleep again.

Now we must give him a name first, and then change the name when the child grows up.

Thinking that he would have to leave the capital in the future, Yi Zuo sighed and said, "Little thing, just call yourself Fuyun."

I hope that in the future you will be like the clouds in the sky, moving with the wind, free.
