Xiaobao opened his mouth to cry.

“Shut up!” Yan Jiuchao shouted.

Xiaobao shut his mouth aggrievedly.

Yu Wan was stunned by the little fellow’s cute appearance. She didn’t know who was the one who wanted to follow his father around just now, but now they were looking down on him.

The three of them closed their eyes not long after.

Yu Wan asked softly about the envoy from Nanzhao, “Who came from Nanzhao this time?”

Yan Jiuchao pinched his youngest son’s cheek and said, “There’s General Wei Yuan of Nanzhao, a few high-ranking officials of Nanzhao, and a State Preceptor of Nanzhao.”

Yu Wan muttered, “Minister, General, State Preceptor… Aren’t there any members of the royal family?”

That shouldn’t be. Weren’t they here for the stolen holy artifact? How could there be no royal family? Or could the matter of finding the holy artifact be entrusted to a few officials?

Yan Jiuchao guessed Yu Wan’s doubts and sneered. “The news of the stolen holy artifact was suppressed by the Queen of Nanzhao. Even the Emperor of Nanzhao doesn’t know. The more that’s the case, the more she can’t come and search openly. There should be her trusted aides here who will help her find the stolen holy artifact, but not all of them will help her find the holy artifact. That will be too easy for others to see through.”

Yu Wan had long heard that the Little Princess of Nanzhao had obtained her current position as the Queen because of the holy artifact. If others found out that her holy artifact was gone, she would probably not be able to sit in this position well.

“By the way, which one of these people did I save just now?” Yu Wan asked.

Yan Jiuchao said indifferently, “None, he’s just a disciple of the State Preceptor.”

Yu Wan did not know much about the court of Nanzhao, so she naturally did not understand the status of the State Preceptor in Nanzhao Nation. In fact, the State Preceptor was a close subject of the Emperor and was heavily relied on by the Emperor of Nanzhao. His disciple’s status was also very noble.

“Yan Jiuchao.” Yu Wan’s attention was on another matter.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Jiuchao hugged his sleeping youngest son and looked at her.

Yu Wan pondered and said, “Since your poison has been cured, the Gu King is useless to us. Should we hand the Gu King over?”

Yan Jiuchao asked, “You know how to take the Gu King out?”

Yu Wan shook her head. She did not know any Gu techniques and could not control this little Gu worm.

Yan Jiuchao continued, “Then are you planning to tell the people of Nanzhao to help you take the Gu King out?”

Yu Wan shook her head again.

The fact that the Queen of Nanzhao had lost the Gu King was a secret that could not be announced to the public. If she found out that the Gu King had once fallen into their hands, who knew if she would kill them to silence them?

Yan Jiuchao looked at the three sleeping little fatties and muttered, “Keep it. It might be useful in the future.”

That’s right. Since this thing was regarded as a holy artifact by Nanzhao, it must have its own outstanding aspects. Perhaps it could have other uses other than curing poison. Besides, she did not steal or snatch it. It was purely an accident that she obtained it. It was not that she was unwilling to hand it over, but the situation did not allow her to hand it over.

At this thought, Yu Wan was relieved.

“They’re asleep,” Yu Wan said with sparkling eyes as she looked at her sons in her arms.

Yan Jiuchao nodded indifferently and placed his youngest son on the bed. Yu Wan also placed Dabao and Er’bao on the bed. She took off their clothes and shoes and pulled the thin blanket over their stomachs.

The weather was hot and the children liked to sweat. They would feel uncomfortable if they’re covered too much.

Yu Wan left Zi Su and Fu Ling to guard the place. Yan Jiuchao also called Shadow Thirteen over. Then, the couple left the courtyard in relief.

The two of them planned to go to Fei Yan Hall and Chong’an Hall respectively. As they walked on the lush path, laughter could be heard from time to time. The troupe chosen by the Empress was useful, and Chong’an Hall became lively.

It was said that the Eldest Prince and Third Prince’s wedding was more deserted than this, or rather, it was much more strict, the Fifth Prince was easy to bully, so that group of people caused trouble without restraint. Of course, it was more or less because of the marriage between the two countries, so there were indeed more guests than usual.

“Haha! I hit it!”

“Your Highness, good archery!”

A hearty laugh came from the grassland not far away. Yu Wan looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the originally empty grassland was filled with people. There were guards from the Prince Manor setting up archery targets and the male guests were sparring with each other.

“You want to watch?” Yan Jiuchao looked at her and asked.

“Can I?” Yu Wan blinked at him.

She had never seen the ancient people shoot arrows before and was quite curious.

“Follow me.” Yan Jiuchao strode towards the grassland.

Yu Wan pursed her lips. Shouldn’t he be holding a girl’s hand at this time?
