Ye Li smiled as she took the hot towel that Qing Shuang handed her to wipe her face and hands. She then used warm water to rinse her mouth before taking the porridge from Weiwei and tasting it. The light and pleasant taste made Ye Li sigh in relief, "Have you arranged for the Little Shizi's wet nurses?"
Wei mama smiled and said, "We have prepared four wet nurses long ago. We know them well. Wang Fei, don't worry." Hearing this, Ye Li frowned slightly and said, "Four is too many. Leave one or two first. Other than feeding time, send the Little Shizi to me at other times. " Wei mama looked with some difficulty at Ye Li. Even though she was also Wang Fei's wet nurse, she approved of not letting the wet nurses get too close to the Little Shizi. Otherwise, when the Little Shizi grew up with the wet nurses, he would not be close to Wang Fei. But if Wang Fei personally took care of him, she was afraid that the Prince would not be happy.
Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "Let's do it this way. When the child is one year old, it will be about time to stop breastfeeding. At that time, we can arrange for the wet nurses to go elsewhere. " She did not plan for the wet nurses to raise the child, nor did she plan for a group of wet nurses and servant girls to surround the child. She did not want to raise a Jia Baoyu in the future. Wei mama reminded her in a small voice, "If Wang Fei personally takes care of the Little Shizi, the Prince will not be happy." Ye Li smiled and said, "It's not a problem. Usually, the wet nurse and Lin mama will help me. When he grows up, he won't need anyone to take care of him. " Wei mama finally agreed. She bent down to pick up the infant who was about to wake up and went to find the wet nurse to feed him.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Ye Li handed the bowl to Qing Xia, who was serving beside her, and asked, "Did anything happen last night?"
Qing Shuang replied, "Elder Su, who was staying in Nan Yuan last night, seemed to be ill. The Prince asked Sir Shen and Doctor Lin to treat him. I heard that his illness is very serious." Qing Xia also nodded and said, "Prince hasn't gone out since he returned to his study last night. I heard that the person who delivered breakfast this morning was also stopped outside." Ye Li frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "Qing Shuang, go to the kitchen again and send a portion of breakfast to Prince. Tell him that I ordered it. Also, ask Commander Qin to come over. Tell him I have something to ask him. "Qing Shuang nodded and said," This servant will go now. "
"Your subordinate, Qin Feng, requests an audience with Your Highness." Not long after, Qin Feng appeared outside the door and asked for an audience. Ye Li said softly, "Come in." Ye Li and Mo Xiuyao had never paid much attention to such formalities. Now that Ye Li couldn't go out, Qin Feng stood in front of the screen with the painting of a misty rain in the room and replied. Qin Feng also understood what Ye Li wanted to ask. Without waiting for Ye Li to ask in detail, he told her what happened last night in detail. This naturally included the treatment of Su Zuidie. Su Zuidie struggled for more than half a year, but in the end, she still came to the end. But before she died, she still told him the whereabouts of the Ancestor's decree. If Mo Xiuyao didn't want that thing, then Su Zuidie would not be his life-saving talisman, but a piece of waste paper. That thing was still in the Chu Capital. Back then, Su Zuidie left in a hurry with the help of Han Mingyue, so she didn't have time to look for the thing she hid. What's more, that thing was more like a talisman that hastened her death.
Hearing Qin Feng's words, Ye Li was also startled. Although after the incident with Tan Jizhi, Ye Li had some guesses about this matter, but it was far from being as shocking as hearing it for herself. What's more, it also involved the life and death of the late Emperor and the Regent Mo Liufang. It seemed that the imperial family had been trying to get rid of the Prince Ding Mansion for a long time.
"Does the Prince have any plans to deal with this matter?" Ye Li asked.
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "The Prince has been locked in the study since last night, and hasn't issued any orders." Ye Li nodded. This was undoubtedly the biggest impact on Mo Xiuyao, and he really needed time to think about it.
It wasn't until noon that Mo Xiuyao came back with a tired body. Looking at his bloodshot eyes, Ye Li knew that he must have not slept all night. Sighing, she didn't allow him to say anything and said softly, "Sleep for a while first, we'll talk about it when you wake up." Mo Xiuyao was extremely tired. Earlier, he was angry because of Xue Chengliang's confession, then he was tense because of Ye Li's labor, and last night, he was shaken because of what Su Zuidie had revealed. If it wasn't for the fact that Mo Xiuyao had made great progress in his cultivation these past few years, he probably wouldn't have waited for Su Zuidie to finish speaking and would have killed her with his sword and led his troops to the capital. From yesterday morning until now, Mo Xiuyao hadn't closed his eyes. Too many things had happened today, how could he not be tired?
Lying on his side on the bed, Mo Xiuyao glanced at Ye Li who was tucking him in. After opening and closing his eyes a few times, he finally fell into a deep sleep.
Looking down at the man who was sleeping restlessly, Ye Li could only sigh softly. Leaning against the headboard, she closed her eyes and thought about the northwest. Now that the truth of what had happened that year was revealed, to be able to wake Mo Xiuyao up, the situation in the northwest and Da Chu State had changed. Ye Li didn't want to stop Mo Xiuyao from doing anything. Just like the Mohist army, Mo Xiuyao had been suppressed for too long. And the actions of the person in the Chu palace didn't make people believe that he was a good ruler who loved his people like his own children.
"Big brother … … Father … … Big brother! Big brother … … "Mo Xiuyao murmured in his sleep, as if he had fallen into a terrifying dream. Ye Li remembered the meter of Su Zuidie that Qin Feng had mentioned and her heart trembled. Gently patting the blanket on his body, she whispered, "This isn't your fault, Xiuyao … … don't be afraid … … it's not your fault … …"
"Father, big brother … …"
When Mo Xiuyao woke up, he heard Ye Li's soft laughter by his ear. Opening his eyes, Ye Li was sitting next to him, leaning against the bed. She was holding the baby in light purple swaddling clothes and playing with him. There was a soft and gentle smile on her beautiful face. Ye Li turned her head and saw Mo Xiuyao open his eyes. She couldn't help but smile and say, "Are you done? Look at the baby?" Mo Xiuyao sat up and looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes. He was looking at the two of them with watery eyes. The red and wrinkled face from yesterday was much better. Even though it wasn't completely white and tender, it was still very different from the red little monkey from yesterday.
Ye Li lovingly cradled the baby and gently rocked him. This child was really too good at sleeping. Other than when he was born, this was the first time she had seen him awake. "Hehe, the baby can't see right now. In a few days, he will become more and more adorable." Mo Xiuyao silently watched as Ye Li played with the baby. Even though he felt that the little boy was particularly annoying, he didn't say anything. He only quietly watched as Ye Li's smile became more gentle and kind. His originally cold and hard expression couldn't help but soften.
When the baby fell asleep again, Ye Li called for Wei momo to carry him out. Turning her head to look at Mo Xiuyao's side, she saw that his face was still somewhat gloomy and said softly, "Those things weren't your fault. Big brother won't blame you."
Mo Xiuyao was stunned. When he regained his senses, he finally understood what Ye Li was talking about. He raised his hand to ruffle the hair behind Ye Li's head and said with a dry voice, "Mother passed away not long after giving birth to me. Father was also busy with court affairs. It could be said that it was Big brother who raised me since I was young. Originally, I wanted to wait for Big brother to inherit the throne and then assist him wholeheartedly. For many generations, the Ding King's residence had only one heir. It was only in our generation that Big brother and I were born. We brothers naturally had to work together. Furthermore, with my ability, even if I can't obtain any title, I can't just idle around in the Prince Ding Mansion and be a hedonistic son of rich parents. "Ye Li naturally knew this. Actually, Mo Xiuwen and Mo Xiuyao were only seven to eight years apart. Ye Li could almost imagine the scene when Mo Xiuwen, who was only seven to eight years old, carried his newborn brother and guarded the cold and empty Prince Ding Mansion. It was no wonder that the relationship between the two brothers was so good. In Mo Xiuyao's heart, the position of Big Brother was not inferior to that of Father King Mo Liufang. It was also because of this that Mo Xiuyao, who was only in his teens, had already entered the battlefield. It was also to tell Father and Big Brother that even if he couldn't inherit the throne, he could still fulfill his ambitions and live a carefree life.
