Drop of Cinnabar in the Heart (9) (2/2)
An old matron smiled, “The great general hasn’t gotten married, right? No wonder he doesn’t know how to soothe the child! Once he has his own children, he’ll have plenty of practice!”
The surrounding people around her began to chuckle good naturedly.
“Great General Uncle, I want to see Lady Mother. Bring me to see her ah…” Little Baozi wanted to get off the horse but the horse was too tall and there were too many people around them. He looked beggingly towards the person holding him.
Zhao Han didn’t even have the chance to reply when a figure dressed entirely in white walked towards them. His inky long hair was elegantly confined as he strode gracefully. When Little Baozi saw the man, he stretched out his arms, “Uncle Su, hold me——”
The person who had just appeared was the man most trusted by the emperor himself, Chief Steward Su Ran. He often left the palace to bum a meal from Imperial Prince Xu’s estate and annoyed Zhu Junyang to no end. Little Baozi was like his mother and liked handsome and beautiful faces. He adored Su Ran for his elegant and handsome appearance. Sometimes, even his lord father became jealous by this!
Su Ran smiled at Zhao Han and then reached out his hands, “General Zhao, you can give Imperial Prince Xu’s heir to me ah!”
Because the emperor he served was a transmigrator, he was never expected to use the term ‘this servant’ to refer to himself. Thus, no matter who he was addressing. Su Ran always used the pronoun ‘I’.
Zhao Han wanted to hold her son a bit longer but he also knew that now was not the right time. Chief Steward Su Ran had come over likely under the orders of the emperor. Thus, he reluctantly handed the child over.
As soon as Little Baozi arrived in Su Ran’s arms, he pointed in the direction that his father and mother had gone, “Uncle Su, go help me chase after Lady Mother...I was the one who injured both her and my younger sister, wah wah wah!”
Su Ran wiped off the tears from the little fellow’s face as he reassured him, “Alright, I’ll help you find your mother now. Don’t cry!” As soon as he finished, he lightly jumped up from the ground and headed up towards the roof.
The young maidens in the area all felt flustered by this sight. Which family’s young master was this? He was too handsome. He looked like an immortal who had descended from heaven, pure and incorruptible. Was he married already?
The noble young maidens who knew of his identity all revealed dreamy looks on their faces as they silently lamented within their hearts——If the chief steward wasn’t the chief steward, wouldn't that be great ah? He looked so warm and sweet as he held the child and he had such a gentle look on his face as he was comforting the little heir. He was sure to be a good father...so unfortunate….
Zhu Junyang held his wife as they arrived at Divine Physician Zhong’s clinic. The vast majority of people in the area had left to see the festivities, so the clinic was quite empty. When the doctor sitting in the clinic saw a guest come down from the roof, he was quite startled.
When he found out that Imperial Prince Xu was here with his wife, who might have injured her unborn child, the doctor hurried into the inner courtyard to find his master. In the past, other than the imperial physicians from the palace, only his master had taken care of the people from Imperial Prince Xu’s estate.
The little divine stone that was on her wrist faintly let out a golden light that whirled around Yu Xiaocao’s abdomen. She had already started to feel much better. When she saw her sweat-soaked husband, who still looked incredibly worried, she gently held onto his hand and said, “I’m fine, don’t worry.”
“Right, you and the baby must be fine. Cao’er, don’t be nervous, the divine doctor will be here soon. Don’t be afraid, I’m right here with you!” Zhu Junyang was actually a bit incoherent now but he still did his best to calm his wife down.
