"But son, that person was killed by your mother."
After thinking it over, Yang Chuxia decided to tell Lele about it.
Lele stiffened upon hearing this, took a long moment, and then asked, "You mean Old Madam Luo was killed by you? You were the one who broke into the Luo Family?"
"Son, âbreaking and enteringâ doesnât sound good," Yang Chuxia said, a bit embarrassed, and then added, "But youâre right, I was the one who did it. She was trying to kidnap you, and I couldnât let her live."
"In that case, I have nothing to fear," Lele chuckled, "If people really have souls, she should be the one afraid of me, fearing my ill intentions that might scatter her soul."
"Besides, Iâm a prince of Great Zhou, possessing the dragon aura. Even a four-clawed dragon is still a dragon. Sheâd be afraid of me; you donât need to worry about her seeking revenge."
Lele quickly understood why his mother was telling him this now.
"..." Yang Chuxia remained silent.
Upon reaching the main courtyard, Yang Chuxia said, "Tonight, youâll sleep with your parents."
"Thatâs only natural. Itâs been a long time since Iâve slept with you two," Lele paused, then asked Ye Ziâan, "Father, where are those kids you brought? I didnât notice any new people in our house."
"Wouldnât that be something if you did?" Ye Ziâan ruffled his hair and said, "Theyâre in the side room."
Early morning at Prince Anâs Mansion turned into chaos.
"Ming Lan, quickly go get a doctor!"
"Take the eldest young masterâs token and get a royal physician from the palace. Both the second and third young masters are sick; their foreheads are burning hot."
"Yes, madam!"
Upon hearing this, Ming Lan hurried to the front courtyard.
Meanwhile, chaos ensued on Yang Chuxiaâs side. People were pacing back and forth in the courtyard, occasionally craning their necks to look out, grumbling, "Why hasnât that doctor arrived yet?"
"We shouldâve never let the kids squeeze together to sleep. They must have pulled the blankets off each other and caught a chill."
"Mingqiu, have someone wait outside the Luo Residence, and once the young master and eldest young master come out, have them return immediately."
"Send someone to the Mu Residence to ask if Commandery Princess Dongyang still has any red phosphorus pills. If she does, get a few."
The maids and servants of Prince Anâs Mansion quickly left to handle matters.
Yang Chuxia was extremely anxious inside.
At this moment, the situation at Prince Anâs Mansion quickly reached Prince Leâs Mansion.
Prince Le merely smiled mysteriously at the note that arrived, and no one knew why he was smiling.
"Your Highness, is something wrong at Prince Anâs Mansion?" Young Master Li asked, "I heard Ye Ziâan and his sons were at the Luo Residence for a memorial service early in the morning."
"Is that so?" Prince Le tapped his fingers, "There certainly is an issue, but what it is remains unknown."
"Shall I go take a look?" Young Master Li chuckled again, "Since that old lady died, I havenât even gone to pay my respects. I should visit, or else my dear aunt will come crying at the Li Residence."
"Alright, you go!" Prince Le waved him off, adding, "Things need to speed up in the south; a single spark can start a prairie fire. We canât let one side flare up while the other gets cut off, or everything weâve done will be meaningless."
"Rest assured, Your Highness, I know what to do."
After Young Master Li left, Prince Le added, "Go, tell Secondary Consort Yang that her nephew is sick, and invite her to visit him with me."
