Mʏ Tᴏᴜɢʜ Hᴜsʙᴀɴᴅ2 - Chapter 25: Chapter 25

A quarter of an hour later, the battle stopped and everyone except Nangong Yan died.
Then, Yang Shuo also appeared and ordered someone to search Nangong Yan and tied him up.
Nangong Yan was unconscious at this moment. He had been seriously injured in the battle earlier and now he was in coma.
The royal warriors had already left. Yang Shuo ordered his subordinates to bring Nangong Yan along while he quickly walked towards Yue Youbai. “Bai, are you okay?”
Yue Youbai shook his head and asked confidently, “It will be a joke that Nangong Yan would hurt me.”
Yang Shuo was amused by Yue Youbai’s confidence. He petted him, “Alright, you’re amazing.”
Yue Youbai covered his head and glared at Yang Shuo. “Don’t pet me!”
Yang Shuo laughed and calmed him, “Alright, I won’t. let’s go.”
The next day, as soon as Han Tingxuan woke up, he received a message from Yang Shuo.
Nangong Yan was interrogated overnight and finally confessed where Nangong Yu was. He was currently in a small village in the southern suburbs of City of Capital and the Nangong family had rushed over overnight.
Nangong Yu had been stripped of his skin and had not been treated well these days. Now, his face was ugly and he was lying there only breathing.
The Nangong family was furious and wanted to skin Nangong Yan into pieces.
However, Nangong Yan was no longer in Yang Shuo’s custody. Instead, he was secretly taken to a secret room in the palace and imprisoned.
Han Tingxuan decided to go to the palace after listening to the latest news.
Han Tingxuan was given a ten-day holiday since they returned. He didn’t have to go to the morning meeting. Moreover, the Emperor probably wouldn’t be present at the meeting this morning.
Hence, Han Tingxuan went straight to Mo Yanzhi’s dormitory.
When he arrived, Mo Yanzhi had just gotten out of bed. It was said that the prince was still in his room.
Han Tingxuan walked in and saw Mo Yanzhi feeding the prince milk.
“Is he up?”
Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Mmm, long ago.”
Han Tingxuan frowned. “so early? Did you sleep well?
Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Yes. Nannies take care of him at night. He is brought here after I got up.”
“That’s good. He is too young now. You have a lot of things to do every day. It’s not good for him to sleep next to you,” said Han Tingxuan.
“I see,” said Mo Yanzhi immediately.
Han Tingxuan did not say anything else. As he watched Mo Yanzhi feeding the child, the little guy was staring at Han Tingxuan with his eyes wide open. Han Tingxuan laughed.
“Does Egg drink so much?”
Mo Yanzhi blinked and found it hard to respond to the name.
“Mmm… his appetite is very good.”
After the little guy finished eating all the sheep milk in the milk bottle, he was finally full and even burped. He was getting much cuter.
“Where are the sheep raised?” Han Tingxuan asked.
Mo Yanzhi said softly, “Don’t worry. There were people taking care of them carefully, from weeds to feeding. In fact, there are secret guards watching in shifts. The children only eat fresh sheep milk. The milk will be checked and tested for poison by small animals before feeding.”
Hearing this, Han Tingxuan smiled. “Alright, I’ll rest assured.”
The little guy blew a bubble and Han Tingxuan tapped his mouth. “Oh, you can make a bubble!”
The little guy stared at Han Tingxuan. His skin was very fair and looked much like Mo Yanzhi, which made Han Tingxuan loved him more.
After teasing the little guy, Han Tingxuan told him what had happened to the Nangong family.
Mo Yanzhi said, “When I got up early, the secret guard reported to me. It is about time to carry out our plan.”
Han Tingxuan nodded. “Something has happened to the Nangong family and even some confidential information has been stolen. We can leave them aside temporarily. If we act on both two families, it will not be a good for us.”
Mo Yanzhi muttered, “I think so too.” He thought for a moment before saying, “Then let’s make Dongfang Ye the master of the Dongfang family first.”
Han Tingxuan carried the little guy. “Well, let’s do it first. By the way, Nangong Yan had already been moved to the secret room in the palace. We need to know all secrets he knows.”
“I see. Don’t worry,” Mo Yanzhi answered.
“I have to leave now. Be careful,” said Han Tingxuan softly.
Mo Yanzhi nodded and took the child over from Han Tingxuan. He asked with concern, “Is there any problem with your health?”
Han Tingxuan shook his head. “Don’t worry. I am fine. When I’m not alone, the secret guards always take turns watching me. Don’t worry.”
Mo Yanzhi sighed, “Master and Han are still studying the antidote. You shouldn’t stop taking your medicine.”
“Don’t worry. I remember it.”
“And those fruits,” Mo Yanzhi added.
Han Tingxuan couldn’t help but laugh. “I remember them all.”
Mo Yanzhi thought about it and touched his son’s face. “Our son is called Egg. What about the she-man?”
“Lou Yanqing’s she-man?” Han Tingxuan thought for a moment, “Indeed, our son already has a nickname, and we can’t leave out his child. How about Meatball?”
Mo Yanzhi was silent for a moment and didn’t say anything.
Han Tingxuan shook his head. “It’s not a good name.”
Mo Yanzhi also nodded. “Well, it’s not very good..”
Before he finished his sentence, Han Tingxuan clapped his hands. “How about Ox?”
Ox… Mo Yuqing could imagine how mad Lou Yanqing would be. But… Egg was not a good nickname, either. They were brothers and they should bear with the shame together.
After Han Tingxuan gave his suggestion of the name, he left.
Mo Yanzhi handed the child to the nanny.
There were three nannies taking care of the crown prince in turns. Every one of them were carefully selected. They all knew some Kungfu skills. In addition, there were six secret guards guarding them, led by Shadow Three.
That afternoon, Mo Yanzhi went to Lou Yanqing’s place.
Lou Yanqing greeted with the Imperial she-man, “Greetings, your majesty.”
“Rise,” Mo Yanzhi said with a smile.
Lou Yanqing stood up.
Mo Yanzhi said, “Bring the Imperial she-man over.”
Lou Yanqing hurriedly brought the child forward. Mo Yanzhi carried him in his arms. The little guy was awake now. Since he had been born prematurely, although he had not been ill yet, he looked much smaller than his son.
Mo Yanzhi went inside, “By the way, Consort Lou, I got a nickname for the baby.”
“That’s his honor,” Lou Yanqing said in surprise.
“Yes, the Prince’s nickname is Egg,” said Mo Yanzhi.
Lou Yanqing paused and the smile on his face almost froze.
“Then the princess’ nickname is Ox.”
“Ox?” Lou Yanqing screamed.
Mo Yanzhi smiled and looked at Lou Yanqing, “Well, as Prince Chen’s husband said, it’s better for a kid to have a poor nickname.”
Lou Yanqing’s mouth twitched quickly. Poor nickname? What a poor nickname!
Lou Yanqing could see the future that his she-man would hate him for having this nickname.
Lou Yanqing put up the nerves and said, “Did Prince Chen’s husband suggested this nickname?”
Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Yes, it is him.”
Lou Yanqing: “…” Prince Chen’s husband, I hate you!
After a while, Mo Yanzhi explained the purpose of coming here today. “When they are one month old, the crown prince and the princess will be official titled and archived into the imperial family tree.”
Lou Yanqing knelt down. “Thank you for your kindness, your majesty.”
Mo Yanzhi smiled slightly. “Even though the crown prince is raised by me, you should take extra care of the princess too.”
“Yes, your majesty!”
Mo Yanzhi added. “You should prepare for it. There are only a few days before their one-month birthday.”
“Yes, I see!”
Mo Yanzhi returned to the dormitory. He was just about to ask Zhou You to get Dongfang Ye here when a secret guard sent a message first.
“Nangong Yan is dead.”
“What?!” Mo Yanzhi was surprised, “How did he die?”
“Nangong Yan was controlled by a bewitched worm. As the mother worm died, the baby died, and Nangong Yan died,” Shadow One said.
Mo Yanzhi gently closed his eyes. “Did you ask anything useful?”
Shadow One shook his head. “Apart from Nangong Yu’s whereabouts and they are coming from the Yue Empire, there is nothing else.”
“Yue Empire…” Mo Yanzhi pursed his lips tightly. “Make arrangements. After night, let’s go out. I need to see Yue Youbai.”
“Yes!” Upon receiving the order, Shadow One immediately went to make arrangements.
Mo Yanzhi paused for a moment and still summoned Zhou You. “Get Dongfang Ye here.”
“Yes!” Zhou You immediately accepted the order and left for work.
Mo Yanzhi stayed in the dormitory for a while, thinking about what would happen… A moment later, he walked over to the desk and started to read some reports.
Half an hour later, Dongfang Ye arrived.
Mo Yanzhi left the dormitory and went to the Palace of Huide where he was going to see Dongfang Ye.
“Long live the emperor,” Dongfang Ye said respectfully.
Mo Yanzhi nodded. “Rise.”
