Yun Shang was stunned. She didn't expect that it had something to do with Princess Tai An. She thought for a moment and said, "It's not surprising that Princess Tai An chooses to join hands with the seventh Prince. After all, for her, she might think that the seventh Prince is a member of the Xia clan, while we are just outsiders. Not long ago, we also exposed her secret, which made her suffer a lot. It's natural that she wants to take revenge."
"She used to have an immoral affair with the former Crown Prince and Prince Rui's mansion used to be the Crown Prince's mansion. So it makes sense that there is a tunnel from Princess Tai An's mansion to this mansion. But, why is there a also one from Princess Tai An's mansion to Xiangzhu Palace?" Yun Shang frowned and whispered.
Luo Qingyan gently smoothed Yun Shang's messy black hair. After a moment of silence, he said, "It's not easy to dig a tunnel. Moreover, the distance between the Palace and Princess Tai An's mansion is not short. It must've at least half a year to complete such a long tunnel. It is impossible that his majesty doesn't know it. The tunnels in the Palace were mostly designed and dug out at the early stage of the Palace's construction for emergency situations. I'm afraid this one is also one of those built at that time."
Yun Shang thought for a while and couldn't figure out any reason why Princess Tai An would pass through a tunnel to Xiangzhu Palace. She nodded, but then frowned and said, "Even if that tunnel is just a coincidence, there must be some spy in Xiangzhu Palace. I stayed overnight in Xiangzhu Palace on whim. They couldn't have been prepared in advance. They must have sent someone to lead me to that room when they heard that I was going to stay in the Palace."
Luo Qingyan nodded, "Yes, I'll do a thorough investigation. I'm sure to find out the person."
Hearing this, Yun Shang smiled. Perhaps she thought Luo Qingyan's expression was too serious, she beamed and said, "Grandma said that I couldn't take a shower or wash my hair in the next forty days. What should I do, uncle? I'm about to be smelled. It's so hot. But I'm not allowed to take a bath or wash my hair. It's so terrible."
Luo Qingyan felt a dull pain in his heart when he saw Yun Shang laughing happily, but he didn't dare to show anything unusual. He touched Yun Shang's hair with a smile, lowered his head, leaned over to smell it, and whispered, "Well, it's indeed a little sour."
Yun Shang thought he would comfort her, but she didn't expect him to react like this. She blushed and raised her hand to hit Luo Qingyan's chest. "Stop teasing me."
Luo Qingyan smiled and said, "I've asked Doctor Zheng. As long as the water is hot enough and the room is airtight, you could take a bath. But you need to be quick. You are also a doctor. It's up to you."
"But both grandma and Madam Qi said..." Yun Shang frowned, thinking about it. After a long time, she said, "No, no. I could bear that I'm not allowed to expose myself in the wind or use the ice to cool myself. But if I don't take a bath for such a long time, I'm afraid I can't even stand myself."
Luo Qingyan smiled faintly with pity in his eyes.
After a while, the wet nurse brought the baby back. Seeing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing. She quickly took the baby over and played with him for a while. Then she handed the baby to Luo Qingyan with a smile, "You haven't held our baby yet. Look, he is so cute." Luo Qingyan's hand trembled and almost dropped the child to the ground. Luo Qingyan screamed and glared at Luo Qingyan. "Look at you. You can't even hold the child."
Luo Qingyan stiffened and stared at the child in his arms.
The baby was small, very soft, and his face was still a little wrinkled. He has few hair, soft and yellowish.
They all said that the child looked like him, but he couldn't find any resemblance from his small features. He felt that his eyes were really like Yun Shang's.
Such a soft baby was the child of him and Yun Shang. It looked no different from other babies who had just been born. However, he was not mentally healthy.
A hint of pain flashed through Luo Qingyan's eyes. He stared at the baby, his lips turning pale.
Yun Shang thought that he was just being nervous holding such a small and soft baby. She couldn't help laughing and quipped, "It's said that Prince Rui is omnipotent, but I didn't expect him to be frightened to pale by his own child. If others know it, they won't believe it."
Luo Qingyan lowered his head and thought, 'Luckily, she knows nothing and won't be sad.'
"He is too small." Luo Qingyan said gently, "it's not good for a boy to be too weak. He shouldn't be coddled by you. Leave him to me after he is one-hundred days old. Later when he is older, I'll take him to the military camp to practice and experience."
Maybe, if they didn't stay together every day, their relationship will faded a little. At that time, even if she knew, she wouldn't be too sad. "He is too weak?" Yun Shang snorted, hurriedly took her baby over and held him tightly in her arms. "He's so young. How could you take him to the military camp? Dad is really a bad guy, isn't he?" Yun Shang lifted Bao'er's hand and waved at Luo Qingyan, "Bao'er is so strong. He will protect mother and father when he grows up."
Luo Qingyan didn't respond. He stood up and said, "I haven't finished today's work. I'm going back to the study."
Yun Shang nodded and waved Bao'er's hand, "Bye, daddy."
Luo Qingyan smiled, turned around and walked out of the room. As soon as he walked out, his smile gradually disappeared, leaving only his pale face.
Soon, many people heard the news that Prince Rui and Lady Rui added an adorable new furry prince to their family. In no time, Prince Rui's mansion was crowded with guests and gifts. Luo Qingyan had been staying at home all the time. He directly refused those who he was not on familiar terms with and only met some important person.
