Chapter 987: Wanting to Take Gu Nuo’er Away While Ye Siming Was Not Around
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All these years, the only person who had treated him sincerely was his nanny, Madam Yu, who had come from the Xili Empire with him.
Nanny Yu knew the truth and raised Yun Linzhou as her own child.
Unfortunately, when Yun Linzhou was four years old, she unfortunately pa.s.sed away from illness.
Before she died, she even secretly wrote a letter to Yun Linzhou.
At that time, Yun Linzhou, who couldn’t even read the letter properly, read the letter over and over again with great effort.
It was only when he was almost five years old that he understood what the nanny Yu’s letter meant by “abandoned”.
In the letter left for Yun Linzhou, Nanny Yu said things very vaguely.
She said that his ident.i.ty was actually extraordinary and that his biological mother just hated him.
She had asked Yun Linzhou to rely on himself at all times. No one else could be trusted.
Now, he had almost forgotten how sad he was when he found out that he had been abandoned.
He only remembered that from then on, he still “pretended to be crazy”. He only started to think of ways to build his influence and plan for his future.
Yun Linzhou wasn’t born a fool. He just grew up slower than others.
However, after he was five years old, he seemed to have suddenly been enlightened. No matter what he learned, he understood it immediately.
His intelligence also grew quickly and was different from ordinary people.
However, only he knew this secret.
He listened to the nanny and didn’t trust anyone. He only relied on himself.
Now that he heard what the hidden guard said, he sneered and said, “So I’m actually the empress’s son.”
Because of the disability he was born with, she heartlessly sent him to an enemy country. She even made preparations that he would become a hostage at any time.
What a heartless mother.
The hidden guard persuaded, “Nanny Yu had asked you to please take good care of yourself. Others will become your burden. Please be ruthless.
“If your ident.i.ty is exposed, not only will you not be able to save Princess Yaoguang, but you’ll also get yourself implicated. Your Highness, please reconsider!”
The hidden guard suddenly said, “Moreover, if Wei Cang and the others successfully bring Her Highness to Xili…
“Then, Your Highness, won’t you be able to reunite with her in the Xili Empire? At that time, without Marquis Yongye, Princess Yaoguang can only trust you.”
Yun Linzhou raised his eyebrows.
The youth’s handsome face vaguely revealed an eager antic.i.p.ation.
After returning to Xili, he wouldn’t pretend to be crazy anymore. He would also have a chance to get along and talk to Nuo’er.
Even if Ye Siming wanted to chase after her, it wouldn’t be easy for him to save Gu Nuo’er with the Xili army surrounding them.
When the time came, Yun Linzhou would accompany Gu Nuo’er and definitely be able to coax her into liking him.
Yun Linzhou’s gaze flickered.
A moment later, he finally said calmly, “Prepare the carriage.”
The hidden guard was stunned. “Are you still decided to save Princess Yaoguang?”
“No, I just want to go and take a look at her. I’ll only be at ease after making sure that Wei Cang won’t hurt her.”
The hidden guard received the order and turned to leave.
Not long later, Yun Linzhou got into a simple carriage without any emblems from the back door and drove over the puddles.
At this moment, the child, Gu Nuo’er, still didn’t know that there were two teams secretly gathering toward her in the capital.
Gu Nuo’er jumped down from the carriage. The tenth prince had already changed into clean clothes.
He carried his sister in his arms and the siblings walked towards the antique market with the same umbrella.
“Brother, look, there are so many people!” The child pointed ahead.
In the rain, the stall owners each set up rain cloths. Their enthusiasm for selling things was not dampened by the drizzle at all.
Many customers who liked to collect antiques wandered around the stalls, wanting to see if there were any good treasures to pick up.
Gu Nuo’er fluttered her long eyelashes and said softly, “Brother, let’s go over there to take a look too!”
