Chapter 14

This unexpected guest was a handsome boy of about eleven or twelve years old, but he was very domineering and caused chaos in the Su residence.tRorgeggrvSSiPtUwgyyalKeVIswaB

When Jin Bao and Que Siming rushed over after hearing the news, the boy was jumping up and down, insisting on sharing a room with Young Master Su, and showing blatant hostility towards his young master.oWJdBlGpwPQQvPazVdgoFoSjTCaQpq

Both he and Zhao Cai were on guard, staying close to their young master.lnijupdNXJZpdRgibCrQFYdhhXVnwv

Later, they found out that this boy was actually the Crown Prince, which explained his arrogance and unreasonable behavior.wDAtAcZnoyxJBcWnlwKyZDjLJrUHKY

Jin Bao had long known that Su Yin’s identity was extraordinary. His maternal grandfather, Prince Li, was the current emperor’s third uncle, and his father was the leader of the martial arts alliance. The reason the Jin family was settled in Dali was because Yunnan was Prince Li’s fief, making it the safest place. But he never expected that this future emperor would be so close to Young Master Su, calling him “cousin” affectionately and sticking to him like glue, as if there was no one else in the world.uaemjSBNaRetPcRcyeQnCxuSUhhIxD

The longer the little Crown Prince stayed, the more anxious Jin Bao and Zhao Cai became.ttulrXDNzzybVVuJBRBrSPVLAefEoK

jBkQzJatWQuGFxZ

Because he misunderstood that Young Master Su and his young master were sharing a room, he looked at his young master with extreme resentment, as if he was always looking for an opportunity to kill him. His martial arts skills were quite good, and killing his half-skilled young master would be effortless.cSIDnlkwEdmlDkDYlHKvvaoTMjBztI

Jin Bao and Zhao Cai had to take turns staying by their young master’s side every day, fearing that any slip-up would result in disaster.HPfndRkMPextmCdupaGZpxNdlFINud

This made the divine doctor very unhappy, who tried to drag him back forcefully.LDJJMMpLlbFPzJPezYPqptjYNOQotN

The child usually avoided him, but now, not only was his young master’s safety at stake, but it was also a great opportunity to avoid the doctor, so he refused to go back.JjwYoCghtrejgwcwaNkzQPKuKJSYKw

In the end, it was Su Yin who discussed with Que Siming, and the divine doctor reluctantly let him go.nRLBlLcOtbFQoWbrvkjSBiCWDzdbhl

Before leaving, the doctor gave him a fierce glare.jpIeeWIhOBPhKdaKtXgUtlKeTITtsJ

Jin Bao, already on edge, felt a chill run down his spine from that resentful and angry look, more so than if the doctor had threatened him with a knife.fiGgAPmHBgWxVurJNiBwPihPQfpuGG

He was now at a dead end, overwhelmed, and could only take one day at a time.mpQlDrxXUIxfukFWypCeqAtUuieIKH

As the New Year approached, Su Yin instructed Zhao Cai and Jin Bao to bring the two elders of the Jin family back from Jingxia Temple to celebrate the New Year together.PtFdcUmsyPFjxjCffxVzQwmwHOMSRl

However, upon arriving at Jingxia Temple, they discovered a major incident had occurred. Just the day before they arrived, the two elders had vanished from their room without a trace.CExnAGdHOXeWBAnWyRylHbDkPuZSXF

The two were at a loss, and Zhao Cai quickly rode back to inform Su Yin.adTgDCmjgNxaJxlXKsSvYtBPlCqhMb

By the time Su Yin arrived, a lot of time had already been wasted.TtbGbcbLCmylnfzMTTVtJNdhetfYho

The little Crown Prince Zongzheng Shaoyu followed Su Yin, and Que Siming arrived a day later.lFDKthlblKqZYLAqTIrKqARTmxxBBW

The three of them focused on tracking down clues, having no time to rest, working tirelessly for two days and nights. All signs indicated the worst-case scenario: Zongzheng Huaien, who had deceived the young master, had returned.tNVFGpmRDLcJfeZqWXbrLlNVFsbbjV

RlrGqVUqCntUQlX

The three of them were furious, gritting their teeth in hatred. Not only had he harmed the young master, but now he had also kidnapped the master and mistress. It was rumored that the Jin family’s wealth was just the tip of the iceberg, and there was a hidden gold kiln, rich enough to rival a nation. Now that they were in his hands, the consequences were unimaginable.DdWVkzQxHzboxXWLuEsSMxcDqCDANk

VoBdGZnUWKQRxkt

While the three were tracking Zongzheng Huaien, the divine doctor, who had been following them but not helping, suddenly said, “Haven’t you noticed someone is missing?”JVAIzWGgKrtmraJyiZlPajvABWJpLw

bajXGXhbPnlAZkC

The three were stunned. Su Yin was the first to react, realizing that the little Crown Prince, who had been sticking to him, was gone.dXipnZtBGVjGOqyfJCqirMBMXVIbmJ

Zhao Cai exclaimed, “He’s not missing! He must have gone back to find the young master!”uDKOgsnqiNfDKgyScjJRWjjQfeSiQk

The three were alarmed and quickly turned their horses around, rushing back to the Su residence.toAcDwFobQVOXMoQbhzpLZmhdPBlIy

Sure enough, something had happened to the young master.kzpsdbobMVBXFzvThnlwNrIUsORdym

When the four arrived at the other courtyard, the ground was covered in white snow. Zongzheng Shaoyu stood dazedly nearby, while the young master was writhing in pain on the snowy ground.UFCxhFUZCMmsuaSczAPtpoZeZOIduH

Cold poison is most afraid of damp and cold conditions. Young Master Jin couldn’t go out in winter, or it would flare up. If Zongzheng Shaoyu hadn’t done something, he wouldn’t have come out recklessly.hZMXEUYSeNIoyhgUWRkOVBKHgPVCDj

Su Yin picked up Jin Xiaobao and rushed into the house without looking back, followed closely by the others.FRXFwdXAIiqtCXULhCbLccAwroNSqj

They struggled for most of the day. Que Siming finally managed to suppress the poison, and Jin Xiaobao fell asleep, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.hDrhXoeEsKBxNYbziaAavUoqAoJulK

At this moment, the door creaked open.ZioufTWSmWdAGAlYKWzCdybfLRBiCM

They turned around to see Zongzheng Shaoyu entering.XtQmalCqwUOWtvcdFwJLjAPakDCcfj

Zhao Cai and Jin Bao glared at him angrily but didn’t dare to do anything because of his status.mDdoCbzSNKUMlYwXyghjeMGrwknfwT

Unexpectedly, Su Yin moved like lightning, grabbed his collar, and pushed him out, stopping only when he slammed into a big tree in the courtyard.XyxNzjGyOfOVBKHEjsVQAvQZeYfXUR

The little Crown Prince spat out a mouthful of blood and stared wide-eyed at Su Yin.ZOUyKNltCmuunmRSZgaUvbHWkuPiTn

In the empty, desolate courtyard, Su Yin’s voice rang out like ice, “Don’t let me see you again.” After saying this, he threw him to the ground and walked back into the house without looking back.ttZeHhOSQdvVnwdBDHhGnjcxpOGDwG

awMtZifekGqmXXz

The little Crown Prince sat up from the ground, clutching his chest, his eyes red as he stared at Su Yin’s back. “How dare you treat me like this! Su Yin! Su Yin!”UdSnNXjdGsMkrqHhxEJBNwDBxnDMws

ydIGQMXyvSSaRyQ

He shouted behind him, “Su Yin! You bastard! You treat me like this for that lowly person!! You will regret it!! I will make you regret it!! Su Yin!!”PiNuFxsvKFLRapcKoWHjbJPmshOmHA

DPxZJdLEPWrUgGq

His slender figure looked even more lonely and thin in the vast expanse of white snow. “I am the Crown Prince of the Zongzheng Dynasty!! I am the future emperor!! How dare you treat me like this!! If I want you to live, you live!! If I want you to die, you must die!! I want you to be mine!!!” His voice carried a sob at the end, sounding even more pale and powerless in the empty, desolate snowfield.CQzLTkueGIjbImlfUGnLrdWRzMqWPZ

Zhao Cai and Jin Bao felt quite satisfied watching this.rsdSiIXRyZQBLfJZuytRZxnpIotPDh

As the door closed, Que Siming looked at the figure sitting in the snow, shouting and crying, and revealed a meaningful smile.yTDTueYCrYIlXMwtJwQbTNVlHWstVs

When Young Master Jin woke up, he indeed learned that his parents had been kidnapped.IcbuALPYMDzbJYBLCabNnrXCylwcek

Su Yin comforted him and then instructed Zhao Cai to stay with his young master while he and Jin Bao continued to search for the whereabouts of the Jin family’s elders.DpkaEjDKmpNImSgMhbYIyxSJYfkSeD

This time, Que Siming didn’t follow them and went somewhere unknown.QrtgcJXWEpXbmRXJHqSyohulliLKTS

However, until New Year’s Eve, they still found nothing. Thinking it was the New Year, they decided to return to the mansion for a New Year’s Eve dinner, so Young Master Jin wouldn’t be too anxious.VEsUQvIbqGQrTPHvqOuEkXHnGeraNS

But when they returned to the Jin mansion, it was an even more chaotic scene than before.XRsxhnJWGWyerXkqtPNvbNqjuzAuzR

The guards in the mansion were all lying in the snow, nearly frozen to death.GNpLwJJfajNDOuTmusLBgSDCIpxvvs

Rushing into Young Master Jin’s room, they saw him lying on the bed, covered with several thick quilts, and a white cloak thrown on the ground.GjvYgQpVlqgZZQVHpHikgKZmEUUqev

A thin piece of paper was placed next to Young Master Jin. Jin Bao picked it up and saw it was written by Zhao Cai, with just a few words: “Zhao Cai is rescuing the master and mistress, avenging the young master.”ANNuqxGJjJBmYnHvNbuwvwYHMoseBT

kEbZZoFSmCZhKJh

Jin Bao broke out in a cold sweat. Zhao Cai went to find Zongzheng Huaien? He was no match for him; wasn’t he courting death?DBvxcPLqhfDkDJlsyAvqOibRBNrPKn

But looking at the young master lying on the bed with his eyes closed and brows furrowed, he might have done the same thing…xxkYTwXgZNXePyFaziSQiXeHOBSmMa

Su Yin felt his forehead and said to Jin Bao, “Hurry and find Que Siming.”JFmrCeSULJBWsyIwmtsCEOUGBoKPJS

Jin Bao was so anxious he was jumping up and down, searching the entire Su residence but couldn’t find him. This was probably the first time in his life he wanted to see Que Siming so badly.CFFmDCiKVJPETKztAKaoMVZLSJHGfp

In the end, he had no choice but to call a doctor from the city.LQizbYoSkkpiiAzPiGvqVUqywxQobT

Meanwhile, Que Siming, dressed in black and masked, leisurely appeared in an inn, facing the little Crown Prince Zongzheng Shaoyu, who was pointing a sword at him.UzQqIclxxQEjhXEqAaTrxKkybisOFA

Que Siming had only met him twice in the Su residence and had no interaction, so he wasn’t afraid of being recognized, but he still lowered his voice a bit.qFtUnBKjYYJhWwKymUNEcWVcLalOnO

Que Siming took out a palm-sized cloth bag from his bosom and threw it to Zongzheng Shaoyu.obeVQRCGxpSNnESIHkgJEpqPonbyyz

The little Crown Prince suspiciously opened the bag and looked inside.llchxbiPLYrhIzUAXgifxCHkhSNhxA

Zongzheng Shaoyu glanced at him and changed the subject, “I won’t ask who you are, as you won’t tell me. But how did you find me? Have you been following me?” His face darkened as he spoke.rMJtxpfRTkcEsekncuAnHnJDPWJspN

With that, Que Siming turned and jumped out the window, disappearing into the night.aKCnWLnFhKDPHuJUeYIOowwJIoJIks
