The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

The emperor looked coldly at Hang Jinnian, who was held in front of him and still did not repent, his eyes full of anger and disappointment.

He was silent for a moment, and then said majestically: "Hang Jinnian, you have committed the crime of treason. From now on, you will be thrown into the sky prison for life, and you are not allowed to take a step out!"

When Hang Jinnian heard this, his body softened and he collapsed to the ground, his eyes finally revealing despair and regret.

But it was too late, and he could only spend the rest of his life in endless pain and regret.

With Hang Jinnian being imprisoned, where to go for Hang Youqi became a problem.

It is obviously inappropriate to let him live alone. Even if there are many servants to take care of a child that young, there is no way for him to live alone in a palace.

Because at any time, people tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. If Hang Youqi lived alone, many people would bully him.

Given Chao Yao's personality, it would be better to just ignore a child like this who was a traitor in his previous life.

But the original body couldn't let him go. After all, he was the original body's only child. No matter what the child was like, as a mother, she would always be the ultimate support.

After Chao Yao hesitated for a while, he finally brought Hang Youqi to the East Palace.

Looking at the once familiar mansion, Hang Youqi was at a loss for a moment.

Once upon a time, his biological father was the owner of this place, and his mother was the mistress of it, and at that time he was free.

But now, he seems to have become that child living under someone else's roof.

He lowered his head, clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and his steps seemed very heavy.

Walking into the house, he looked around timidly, with caution and undisguised reserve in his eyes.

Chao Yao gently asked him to sit down, but he hesitated for a long time before slowly moving to the chair and sitting down gently, only sitting a small part, as if ready to get up at any time.

While eating, Hang Youqi looked at the table full of delicious food but did not dare to eat easily.

It was not until Chao Yao picked up some food for him that he thanked her quietly, and then ate in small bites, not daring to make any sound.

At night, Hang Youqi lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

The moonlight shone through the window onto his face. Tears sparkled in his eyes, and his heart was filled with confusion and anxiety about the future.

The next morning, Chao Yao saw the dark circles under Hang Youqi's eyes and couldn't help feeling a little pity.

When Hang Youqi saw Chao Yao, he immediately lowered his head, not daring to look her in the eye, as if he was afraid that he had done something wrong.

Chao Yao looked at Hang Youqi's cautious appearance and felt even more pity for him.

She walked gently to Hang Youyi, squatted down, gently held his little hand, and said softly: "Youyi, don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on, I will protect you."

Hang Youqi raised his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion and uncertainty, but when he saw Chao Yao's sincere look, he nodded gently.

Chao Yao continued, "The past is the past, let's look forward together. If you have anything you want in the future, just tell me."

Hang Youqi bit his lip and whispered, "Thank you, mother."

However, Hang Fufeng was very cold towards Hang Youqi.

When he saw Chao Yao caring so much about Hang Youqi, he snorted coldly and said, "Why bother with such care for such a traitor's son?"

Chao Yao frowned and said, "Fufeng, he is just a child. He should not be held responsible for the mistakes of the past."

Hang Fufeng turned his head away and said no more.

Give a slap in the face and then give a sweet date, this is the strategy that the couple had agreed upon.

It would be obviously illogical for Hang Fufeng to still treat the child Hang Youqi kindly.

Furthermore, no matter how magnanimous you are, the best you can do is treat others coldly.

As the days passed, Hang Youqi tried hard to adapt to Chao Yao's care and Hang Fufeng's indifference.

He became more cautious and careful in everything he did and said.

Whenever Chao Yao expressed concern for him, he would show a look of gratitude and try to respond to the warmth, but there was still a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

In the face of Hang Fufeng's indifference, he always kept his head down, not daring to refute or express any dissatisfaction.

Once, Hang Youqi accidentally knocked over Hang Fufeng's favorite vase in the study.

He turned pale with fear and stood there trembling, waiting for the coming scolding.

Chao Yao rushed over after hearing the noise. Before he could say anything, Hang Fufeng shouted angrily, "What a clumsy guy!"

Tears welled up in Hang Youqi's eyes, but he held them back and did not cry out loud.

Chao Yao hurriedly comforted Hang Fufeng, then turned around and pulled Hang Youqi to his side, saying softly: "Don't be afraid, it was just an accident, just be more careful next time."

Hang Youqi nodded with sobs, and his expression was so pitiful.

Since then, Hang Youqi has been more careful in doing things, always staying quietly in the corner, trying not to attract anyone's attention.

He studied hard, hoping to change Hang Fufeng's opinion of him through his outstanding performance.

Before long, the news of Chao Yao's pregnancy spread throughout the palace and beyond.

When the emperor heard this, he was delighted and immediately ordered the reward of countless treasures.

Boxes of silks, satins, gold, silver and jewels were sent into the East Palace. The scene was extremely spectacular.

The emperor also personally selected several experienced maids and palace maids to take care of Chao Yao's daily life.

Although the queen was a little unhappy, she had to follow etiquette and gave precious medicinal herbs and exquisite jewelry to show her care for Chao Yao.

When the Chao family heard the good news, they were even more ecstatic.

Chao Yao's father led his family to the palace, carrying generous gifts.

The jade pendant passed down from the ancestors of the Youchao family symbolizes blessing for peace and prosperity;

There are also rare antiques collected from all over the place, which fully demonstrate the family's sincerity and importance to Chao Yao.

Hang Fufeng was also overjoyed and took great care of Chao Yao. He was no longer as cold to Hang Youqi as before. It seemed that the arrival of this new life made his heart softer.

Hang Youqi looked at how everyone cared about Chao Yao's pregnancy, and felt happy for his mother, but also a little worried that he would be ignored in the excitement.
