In this life, he and Nan Zhiyun had their own child together, and the child from his past life... naturally wouldn't appear again. In fact, many times Yu Jingchen always felt that the child from his past life was actually their child, but saying it like this would be too absurd.
"Are there any new developments in the matters of Luo Yuncheng and Yu Jiangyan?" Yu Jingchen always felt that there was more to it.
"They two seem to have never met, and Liu Yi has been acting as an intermediary. However, Liu Yi doesn't seem to be aware of the affairs between them." Xing Lai felt that Liu Yi was quite pitiful, being used by these two, and might even implicate the entire Duke of Liu's mansion later.
"What else?" Yu Jingchen continued to ask.
"There's one more thing, Your Majesty. The servant has had someone investigate the appearance of the token from the Miuyin Pavilion that was mentioned earlier and draw it. And... Your Majesty, this token is indeed currently with the Empress." Xing Lai said, then handed the drawing of the token to Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen's brows furrowed, and he took the drawing of the token. Upon seeing it, it was clear that Yu Jingchen also recognized it. Moreover, this token was kept by Nan Zhiyun.
It was left to her by Nan Su, who also said it was from Nan Zhiyun's mother. So this was the Miuyin Pavilion token? (Refer to Chapter 368)
"In addition, General Nan Su seems to have some dealings with Jiang Ji..." Xing Lai said, while glancing at Yu Jingchen's expression. Before, he didn't understand why Yu Jingchen cared so much about a mere servant, but now it seemed... it was indeed not simple.
Yu Jingchen truly hadn't guessed this. What kind of dealings could Nan Su and Jiang Ji have?
"Has Jiang Ji's background been investigated?" Yu Jingchen changed the subject.
"The time is too long, and investigating one person will likely be difficult." Xing Lai had already sent people to investigate, but no news had surfaced, as if someone had deliberately erased it. Moreover, Jiang Ji's background... seemed not so simple.
"Hurry up and investigate. Regarding Jiang Ji, find out everything without missing a single detail." Yu Jingchen said, after all, this was someone he wanted to groom for Nan Zhiyun... or perhaps for the child in Nan Zhiyun's belly...
"Yes," Xing Lai agreed.
"Alright, you may withdraw." Yu Jingchen still wanted to see Nan Zhiyun. She had slept all day and was now wide awake.
"Are you not planning to sleep tonight?" Yu Jingchen asked, sitting beside her.
"I can't sleep anymore." Nan Zhiyun leaned into Yu Jingchen's embrace and hugged him.
"Then what should we do?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"Your Majesty, will you tell me a story? The baby wants to listen." Nan Zhiyun shifted the blame to the child in her belly.
"Okay, what kind of story does Yun'er want to hear?" Yu Jingchen asked her. Yu Jingchen seemed to have discovered that Nan Zhiyun was particularly interested in such things.
"Hmm... I want to hear a story about a little fox spirit who bewitches the king and gains his sole favor." Nan Zhiyun thought of one.
Yu Jingchen: "..." How was he supposed to make this up? A story about a fox spirit bewitching a king? How could this little lady dare to ask for this?
"What should I do if I don't know how?" Yu Jingchen asked her.
"Your Majesty told me to speak it myself, so I want to hear this one." Nan Zhiyun was "unreasonable."
Yu Jingchen: "..." He finally saw it. Nan Zhiyun was deliberately toying with him.
