Before long, she was in another embrace. Yun Wanqing carefully clung to the edge of Mo Yuanlin’s sleeve. She didn’t feel safe around any man outside the Yun Family.
"Don’t be afraid, I will be very careful. I promise not to drop you."
Seeing the little hand grasping his sleeve tightly, Mo Yuanlin couldn’t help but chuckle. A strange feeling rose within him; he felt this little baby was extraordinarily bright.
Just a month old and already knowing to hold onto something. It’s amazing, making him feel as though the little baby could understand what was being said.
[Oh, who would’ve thought this emperor, who died young and suddenly, would be so gentle.]
Yun Wanqing relaxed a bit, looking up quietly at the young man who exuded natural majesty and was sacred and inviolable. Her gaze suddenly contracted.
With a crack~
A faint sound spread out, the teacup in Yun Zhan’s hand cracked, a fleeting surprise crossed his eyes, and a great wave surged in his heart.
The Emperor, died young?
Died suddenly overnight?
Noticing the commotion, the two brothers of the Royal Family looked over together. Yun Zhan quickly regained his composure, gave a slight smile, and placed the broken teacup on the table.
"This teacup is poorly made."
[That can’t be right~]
Yun Wanqing muttered suspiciously, her brows furrowing, her attention never leaving Mo Yuanlin.
[He doesn’t look like someone who would die suddenly; rather, he seems like someone long sick without treatment, dying of poison.]
[Purple-tinged eyes, darkened lip line, pale face with a faint green hue. All signs of prolonged poisoning.]
[It’s normal for ordinary people not to notice anything unusual, but shouldn’t the Imperial Physicians have noticed and treated him?]
[...]
Poisoned?
Yun Zhan and Yun Wanye looked at Mo Yuanlin in shock, carefully observing his face.
Perhaps due to Yun Wanqing’s inner voice, they genuinely believed his eye color, lip line, and skin tone appeared abnormal.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mo Yuanlin frowned, feeling that the uncle and nephew’s gaze was somewhat strange.
Due to the etiquette between sovereign and subject, no one should look at him like this, let alone stare for so long.
Yun Zhan’s eyes flicked slightly, calmly saying, "It’s nothing, just thinking it’s curious to see the Emperor holding a little baby. Since the Emperor quite likes babies, why not take a consort and have some little princes and princesses?"
Mo Yunlin: "..."
Throughout all of Da Wu Country, only this person dared to say such things to him.
"Then why doesn’t Brother Ming Che take a wife and have children? Is it because he doesn’t like babies?"
Yun Zhan: "..."
There’s no way to continue this conversation, no way at all.
If he says he doesn’t like them, would his little niece ignore him in the future?
"Stop, Emperor, let’s change the topic."
"Ah, I’m about to marry Yao’er, but my elder brother still calls Lord Yun a brother. This will surely mess up the generations in the future."
Mo Yuanhao, who had been silently observing, shook his head slightly and sighed.
He could already foresee that after marrying Yao’er, and with his elder brother and Yun Zhan each marrying and having children, especially with the little baby currently in his elder brother’s arms, how messed up the generations will become?
[Oh, is the speaker the male lead?]
[He hasn’t even proposed yet, but he’s already thinking about marrying, truly wishful thinking.]
[Go find your female lead; don’t come and trouble my sister. My sister would never marry you.]
[Let me take a look at what the male lead looks like. Oh no, the Emperor’s arm and the table corner are blocking my view, I can’t see anything.]
Originally, Yun Wanqing’s entire focus was on the Emperor, and she hadn’t noticed the male lead at all. But as soon as the male lead spoke, her attention was immediately drawn away.
She turned her little head, looking for the male lead, but couldn’t see anything.
"Have you set your wedding date? How come I don’t know about it?"
Mo Yuanlin turned his head to look at his younger brother beside him. Upon hearing this, before Mo Yuanhao could speak, Yun Wanqing shouted inwardly.
[No, no, he hasn’t proposed yet.]
"The wedding date is yet to be set. However, I plan to propose once Yao’er comes of age, which should be soon."
[Not at all, soon you’ll fall in love with the female lead...]
Upon thinking of this, Yun Wanqing was suddenly startled, and her inner voice paused for a moment.
[Oh right, the storyline has collapsed~]
[Their first encounter, which was supposed to create a bond, was completely messed up beyond repair.]
[The female lead, who was supposed to be drugged, got intercepted and sent to a medical hall, missing the male lead entirely. This directly causes the crucial plot where the male lead, after losing her, repeatedly sends people to assassinate the female lead, only for her to escape, leading him to develop an interest in her, to disappear.]
