A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

Yuan Huaize looked at him, shook his head helplessly, and slowly said, "Sixth Brother, let the Emperor summon the imperial physician to examine your head! Lou Xiaobao has been personally raised and taught by Prime Minister Lou since he was a child, and he often interacts with us. When have you ever seen Cousin Yan'er have any contact with the Prime Minister's residence? Furthermore, in recent years, apart from staying in the palace, Cousin Yan'er has only been paying attention to Third Brother's movements. Where would she have had the time to be pregnant for ten months and give birth? Are you perhaps mentally challenged?"

Hearing Yuan Huaize's analysis, he suddenly realized and said blankly, "That's right! Even if Lou Xiaobao was born to Mo Yan's cousin, she lived in the palace for three or four years, and I always bullied her! It seems that she didn't have much of a chance to get to know Prime Minister Lou."

Yuan Huaize's lips twitched slightly, knowing that he had been bullying her all those years and had even been speculating about their relationship.

"Ah! I've got it again!"

"Sixth Brother, can you stop making such a fuss? If you startle your elder brother, he will definitely punish you."

"Oh dear! Fifth Brother, I will not lie this time. Even if Lou Xiaobao is not born to Cousin Mo Yan, judging from Xiaobao's constant calling her 'Mother,' and the fact that Prime Minister Lou has been so attentive to the General's Mansion lately, I suspect they are plotting something!"

"..."

Seeing that the others remained silent, he quickly offered his new perspective.

"Brothers, think about it. Lou Shenghan is the Prime Minister, second only to the Emperor in power. Who in the entire court wouldn't dare to give him some face? Cousin A-Ling is the Grand General of Yuanqi, commanding thousands of troops. Even if Third Brother leads troops to maintain order in the palace and the capital, the one who holds military power outside is Cousin A-Ling! One is a high-ranking official, and the other has distinguished military achievements. If these two, one a civil official and the other a military leader, were to join forces, they could effectively usurp the Emperor's power..."

As he imagined the scene, he widened his eyes and shouted exaggeratedly at Yuan Huaijun.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Lou Shenghan is plotting a rebellion in collusion with my cousin A-Ling, with the intention of endangering the nation!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

This sixth grader is truly beyond saving...

After a long while, unable to bear Yuan Huaiyu's loyal yet innocent gaze any longer, Yuan Huaijun finally opened his lips and slowly said, "Fifth Prince, go to the Imperial Hospital and summon the head of the hospital to the Imperial Study."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Huaize was about to get up and walk out, leaving the injured prince staring in disbelief.

"No need! Your Majesty, my hand is just dislocated, there's no need to trouble the head of the academy."

"I have summoned the head physician to examine your head."

Hehehe~~~

Hahaha~~~

The other two burst out laughing without any restraint, and Yuan Huaize even patted his dislocated left hand.

"Your Majesty! How can you speak of me in such a way? What I said is not without reason!"

Yuan Huaiyu was quite helpless; he felt that he hadn't guessed wrong!

"Alright, don't mention such nonsense again. I know very well who A-Ling and Lou Shenghan are. Take good care of yourself at the Prince's residence these next few days. The Empress Dowager's birthday is approaching, so don't cause her any worries."

Yuan Huaijun spoke with a stern tone, and he dared not say anything more, only managing a weak "oh".

"I heard... Yuan Huaixuan has returned?"

"Ah! Fifth Brother, has Emperor Xuan returned to the capital? Why didn't anyone tell me about this?"

"What does it have to do with you? He's always been a loner, and he's never been close to you since childhood."

Hearing Yuan Huaize say this, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xuanhuang is a bit cold, but he has never been hostile to me! Besides, he is away from home all year round and rarely returns to Yuanqi, so Fifth Brother doesn't need to say such things."

Yuan Huailie seemed unsurprised, and simply asked, "Did he come for the Empress Dowager's birthday?"

Yuan Huaijun raised his eyes and glanced at the group, his tone calm and his expression composed.

"Yes, I arrived in the capital a few days ago. I heard that I have been staying in the Xuan Prince's residence and have not yet left. My three brothers, although the Xuan Prince has been away for many years and our relationship is not as deep as mine, we are still... brothers. I expect we will meet often in the future. I hope you brothers will not be too indifferent, so as not to hurt the brotherhood of the royal family."

"I will, Your Majesty."

"Yes, Brother Huang."

Meanwhile, when Xin Moling rode back to the General's Mansion, Lou Shenghan had already taken the child home to enjoy a loving father-son relationship. In the back garden, only Xin Moyan was left, boredly feeding the fish.

"Yan'er!"

Hearing the indistinct shout, Xin Moyan turned around and saw Xin Moling dressed in a black brocade robe with dark gold cloud patterns. Unlike the gentle and refined young master in white robes, there was a hint of sharpness between his brows. Instead, he looked more like a heroic and valiant general. At this moment, he was standing in the distance and slowly walking towards her.

Xin Moyan quickly placed the fish feed on the table and then skipped and hopped towards him.

"elder brother!"

"Yan'er, slow down!"

She ran very fast, and when she stopped in front of Xin Moling, her cheeks flushed pink with excitement, and her eyes were clear and bright. Seeing her brother, a mischievous smile appeared in her eyes.

"Brother, have you finished court?"

Xin Moling raised her hand and touched her head, smiling gently as well.

"Hmm, Lou Shenghan brought his son home?"

"Yes! Brother, Xiaobao is very well-behaved and cute. I like him too. Let's go see Xiaobao again when we have time!"

"There will be a chance to see Xiaobao again."

Xin Moyan gently took his arm, and the two siblings walked and chatted.

"Yan'er, I just saw you feeding the fish. Were you bored at home?"

When suddenly asked the question, she immediately pouted, her tone slightly accusing.

“Brother, Yan’er is so bored. It seems like I don’t have any other friends besides Bu Yu, but…”

"Ok?"

Xin Moling listened to her say she was bored, and her eyes gleamed with even more joy.

"However, Yan'er is also thinking that she needs to find something to do, and can't always stay in the mansion and rely on her brother to support her."

“Yan’er, you are my sister, it is only right that I take care of you. In addition, our parents passed away early, leaving only the two of us siblings to depend on each other. Fortunately, our father and mother had saved up a lot of wealth in the past, and my brother has earned even more military merits over the years, which is more than enough to take care of Yan’er for the rest of her life. Let alone say that if you don’t rely on your brother, he will be unhappy.”

Seeing her brother speaking so seriously, Xin Moyan quickly hugged his arm, smiled ingratiatingly, and explained to him, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to rely on you. It's just that I think it's too boring to be alone in the mansion all the time. If I have something to do, it can help pass the time. As long as... as long as I'm in this world, you will always be my brother, and I will try my best to live a good life and be filial to you."

Xin Moyan spoke the latter half of the sentence with utmost sincerity, and when she said it, she no longer referred to herself as Yan'er, but as "I," the Xin Moyan of the 21st century speaking from the bottom of her heart!
