Chapter 322 A Child of Unknown Origin
"Haha, who would have thought that the Saint Lady back then would now be the wife of the Major General of Yunzhao Kingdom? Bao Huaer, you are really a person that is hard to figure out."
Bao Huaer suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the woman standing in front of the screen not far away.
The woman was wearing a black long dress. She was not absolutely pretty, but she looked exceptionally mature. The smile in her eyes made her look like a poisonous snake crawling in the darkness, ready to rush up and tear Bao Huaer to pieces at any time.
Bao Huaer was nervous and immediately sat up from the bed: "Who are you? How did you get in?"
"Of course, I sneaked in while the Saint Lady was sad for Yi Qianyuan. In fact, if you think about it this way, I should thank Yi Qianyuan. After all, if the Saint Lady hadn't consumed so much energy for Yi Qianyuan, I wouldn't have been able to break in so smoothly."
The woman looked at Bao Huaer's alert expression and bowed to her: "It's my fault that I didn't introduce myself. My name is Jinghua, and my name is Tian..."
"Shut up." Bao Huaer interrupted Jinghua and said through gritted teeth, "Don't let me hear those three words. I'm not interested."
“Then I wonder if Her Majesty the Saint is interested in Lin Wanyue? The half piece of jade pendant in her hand should be more important to Her Majesty the Saint than her life, right?” Jinghua tilted her head, seemingly smiling gently, but in fact her eyes were full of ruthlessness.
"What exactly do you want to do? When I left, I had already made an agreement with the leader that as long as I left the child behind, I could escape unscathed! In that case, why are you still bothering me now?" Bao Huaer said, her emotions already breaking down.
"Don't worry, Saint Lady. We understand how difficult it is for you, and we don't intend to use this matter to harass you. It's just that the child you left behind... oh, no, I should say, your 'brother'."
Bao Huaer seemed to be stimulated. She raised her hand and a sharp blade shattered the air and flew in front of Jinghua.
Jinghua turned her head to dodge, allowing the sharp blade to scrape her cheek.
A clear wound appeared, and blood flowed out uncontrollably, but Jinghua seemed not to feel it, and continued to smile calmly: "Lady Saint, your brother's mission has been completed. He was not chosen by the leader, and now he has become a failure. You know that we never need useless children, so the leader decided to return your brother to you."
Bao Huaer's body trembled slightly, and she asked in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?!"
Jinghua did not answer, but pulled a child out from behind the screen.
Bao Huaer looked at the child with deep despair in her eyes.
In the early morning, when the morning light shone on the earth, the door of the secret room that had been closed for seven days finally opened.
Yi Qianhuan and Yi Mobao stood outside the door nervously.
The secret room was pitch black. Yi Qianhuan didn't see Yi Qianyuan for a moment, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
At this moment, a shadow moved in the darkness.
"Mom, look, it's my uncle!" As Yi Mobao spoke, Yi Qianhuan also saw Yi Qianyuan walking out of the secret room.
The clothes on his body were almost torn to pieces. Yi Qianyuan looked extremely disheveled and had lost a lot of weight. Even his steps were staggering when he walked.
When Yi Qianyuan saw Yi Mobao and Yi Qianhuan, the breath he had been holding finally relaxed.
"Brother!" Seeing Yi Qianyuan staggering and almost falling to the ground, Yi Qianhuan rushed forward and held him steadily.
"Sorry, I really don't have any strength left..." Yi Qianyuan said, coughing weakly twice.
Yi Qianhuan quickly took out the best medicine and gave it to Yi Qianyuan to take.
Yi Mobao said with a look of surprise: "Mom, my uncle is fine! From now on, as long as we make sure that my uncle stops taking Atractylodes powder, he will completely stop taking it!"
"That's great, big brother, that's great!" Yi Qianhuan was ecstatic and looked at Yi Qianyuan with a bright smile.
Yi Qianyuan then revealed a relieved smile, and then looked around: "Why isn't Hua'er here?"
"My sister-in-law hasn't slept for several days. I'll let her go to rest first. And you, brother, look so disheveled now. Why don't you wait until you change your clothes before seeing my sister-in-law?" As he spoke, he carried Yi Qianyuan's arm on his shoulder and took him downstairs to wash up.
After spending an hour washing up and eating some snacks, Yi Qianyuan rushed to Bao Huaer's residence at an extremely fast speed.
Can't wait to tell Bao Huaer the good news, Yi Qianyuan pushed the door open, entered the room, and stood in front of Bao Huaer's bed.
Yi Qianyuan hugged the person on the bed and said happily: "Hua'er, I succeeded! I successfully quit Baizhu powder!"
As soon as he said this, Yi Qianyuan realized that something was wrong.
The person on the bed was very small, not like Bao Huaer, but more like a child.
Just when Yi Qianyuan was wondering, the little man crawled out from under the quilt.
It was a child of about five or six years old, with wheat-colored skin, looking very sunny and healthy. He looked at him with innocent eyes, and seemed to be very interested in him.
An unexpected scene appeared before his eyes, and Yi Qianyuan didn't know how to react for a moment.
"Are you daddy?" The little boy asked with a hint of tentativeness in his childish voice, looking at Yi Qianyuan eagerly.
Yi Qianyuan's breathing stagnated, and several question marks popped up above his head.
Yi Qianhuan arrived with Yi Mobao just in time and happened to hear the child calling Yi Qianyuan "daddy".
"Brother, are you going to be a father?" Yi Qianhuan never expected that such a bloody scene would be played out before his eyes.
Yi Qianyuan shook his head in confusion, and then he saw the little boy crawl into his arms.
Having never had such an intimate behavior with a child before, Yi Qianyuan subconsciously wanted to push away this child of unknown origin.
But he smelled a faint scent of silvergrass on the child.
This was the scent that often appeared on Bao Huaer's body, light but pleasant, which made Yi Qianyuan immediately stop what he was doing and lower his head to look at the child who was giggling in his arms.
"A Yuan, you're out. Sorry, I'm too busy here and couldn't find time to greet you." Just at this moment, Bao Huaer walked in from outside the door.
"Hual, this child is..." Without waiting for Yi Qianyuan to finish his question, the little boy jumped off the bed and ran quickly to Bao Huaer.
"Sister, I want a hug!" The little boy opened his arms and smiled brightly at Bao Huaer. After he got into her arms, he said seriously, "Sister, I found our daddy! Look, daddy is right there!"
