The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

481 Father and Son Meet

Everyone in the Nanzhao Nation knew that the Prince Consort of the Queen Manor was a low-key person. Unlike the Little Commandery Princess who wished she could set up a ceremonial ceremony when she went out, the Prince Consort did not even have an accompanying guard. His clothes were also extremely simple, unlike the luxurious clothes of ordinary masters of aristocratic families. Instead, he only wore a navy blue robe.

He was holding a book and sitting on a cushioned seat. His figure was tall and thin. He had a pair of slender jade-like hands. They were the hands of a scholar, and it was as if he could smell the fragrance of books on his fingertips.

A sunlight shone in and landed on his silver mask.

Yan Jiuchao had long heard the description of the Prince Consort from Bai Xiaosheng, so he was not surprised to see the mask. He was just more sure of his identity.

Yan Jiuchao looked at him without blinking, and so did he. The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became a little strange.

Yan Jiuchao had his own motive for barging in, but the Prince Consort accepted this scene passively and did not show any panic. The Prince Consort sat there quietly with a temperament like water and jade, but his eyes were filled with shock that even he did not notice.

Yan Jiuchao naturally caught his abnormality. It was not because a bold stranger had barged into the carriage. It was… an indescribable gaze that Yan Jiuchao could not describe. Yan Jiuchao felt his blood flow in reverse.

“Hey! Who are you? Where did this lunatic come from? Who allowed you to barge into my master’s carriage?” The coachman, who was shocked by Yan Jiuchao’s actions, finally came back to his senses. He hurriedly lifted the curtain and was about to pull Yan Jiuchao out when Yan Jiuchao pushed him down.

“Ouch—” The coachman fell flat on his back.

Even when Yan Jiuchao was pushing him, his gaze was still locked on the Prince Consort’s face. Neither of the two men said anything. The stalemate caused by the coachman seemed to make the atmosphere even stranger, and it even froze a little.

At this moment, Yan Jiuchao suddenly took a step forward and removed the mask on his face.

On the other hand, the Little Commandery Princess went to the shop to take a look at the rouge customized for the Queen. Everyone in the shop put down their work to serve her. The customers had also been cleared out, leaving her as the only buyer in the huge shop.

The Little Commandery Princess did not think that it was inappropriate.

The Queen’s birthday was coming soon. The Little Commandery Princess had originally planned to send her a Lingzhi, but the first Wushan Lingzhi that she had asked the Helian brothers to spend a lot of money to buy was destroyed, and the second Red Lingzhi was snatched away by someone else. She was furious. Helpless, her father gave her an idea and said that the Queen was about to run out of rouge. He asked her to send a box of new ones.

How could the Queen possibly use all the rouge? He was just using it to coax the children. However, as long as it was a gift from the children, the Queen would like it no matter what gift it was.

This rouge shop was a century-old brand in the Capital. It was rumored that it had a secret recipe that could be passed down from generation to generation. Not only was the rouge made exquisite, the quality was good, and the smell was fragrant, but it also had the effect of beautifying one’s appearance. It was even more popular than palace rouge.

Actually, it was only because the Prince Consort had accidentally given her a box of rouge that the Queen liked this brand of rouge. Since then, she has always bought her products from this shop.

The Little Commandery Princess was very concerned about the progress of the rouge. In order to express her feelings for her mother, she did not let her subordinates do it. Instead, she came to the shop every day to urge them, causing everyone in the shop to be in a panic and almost lose the mood to do other business.

But would the Little Commandery Princess care about this? She only cared about her mother’s birthday gift!

Actually, a box of rouge could be shipped out in a day and a night if it was really made in a hurry. However, this princess was difficult to serve. If the goods were delivered quickly, she would think that you were half-hearted. If the goods were delivered slowly, she would also suspect that you were passive and slacking off. It was just that compared to the two, the latter was easier to round up.

The owner said, “Princess, look, this Master Chen is the old master of our shop. He’s been improving the new formula for you recently and has to do his best. He’s made these few boxes but isn’t very satisfied. Take a look.”

How could the Little Commandery Princess know this? She pretended to look at it and said coldly, “How is one master enough? Is your shop empty? I think you don’t want to do my business!”

The owner hurriedly said, “Princess, you’re being too serious. How can we not want to do your business? It’s like this. The old masters of our shop are not in the Capital. There’s only Master Chen. Aren’t the newbies afraid that the things they make are not outstanding enough? They’ve already gotten someone to invite those old masters.”

The Little Commandery Princess snorted. “That’s more like it. In short, no mistakes are allowed in the rouge I want! The color, style, and smell have to meet my requirements, understand?”

The owner nodded and bowed. “Yes, yes, yes. Little Commandery Princess, don’t worry. The rouge I made for you was made with the best materials. I definitely won’t disappoint you.”

The Little Commandery Princess threatened, “If you dare to cheat, I’ll confiscate your entire family!”

The owner said in fear and trepidation, “No, no! I wouldn’t dare even if I had a hundred guts!”

After the Little Commandery Princess warned the shopkeeper, she leisurely got into the carriage. The coachman’s face was swollen and his body was dirty. The Little Commandery Princess looked at him in disdain. “What’s going on? How are you going to serve my father like this?”

The coachman said aggrievedly, “A lunatic barged into the carriage just now and pushed me down.”

“Then is my father alright?” The Little Commandery Princess hurriedly lifted the curtain.

The mask had returned to the Prince Consort’s face. The Prince Consort sat in the carriage and smiled at her. “I’m fine.”

Nanzhao in September was neither hot nor cold, and the weather was considered pleasant. However, for some reason, this afternoon suddenly became a little hot.

Yu Wan shuttled through the alleys. She was worried that Yan Jiuchao would find a deserted place to hide because he was feeling uncomfortable again. Because she had found him when he hid in the manor once, he simply hid far away.

Yu Wan did not know that she was overthinking. Although she had pricked the wrong acupoint with the acupuncture needle, the effect was not to be underestimated. Yan Jiuchao did not feel uncomfortable at this time. At least, his body did not feel uncomfortable.

“Hubby!” Yu Wan finally saw him. He was standing under a desolate roof, looking at the sky. He did not react when he heard Yu Wan’s voice. Yu Wan’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that her needles had stunned him? That’s not right. She didn’t stab him in the head.

“Hubby?” Yu Wan walked over and called him softly. Seeing that the soft voice did not work, she raised her voice. “Hubby!”

“I’m not deaf,” Yan Jiuchao said as he looked at the blue sky.

Yu Wan pursed her lips strangely. If you’re not deaf, why are you ignoring me?

Yu Wan followed his gaze and looked up at the sky. She asked in confusion, “Why are you out? What are you looking at?”

“I’m just walking around,” Yan Jiuchao said lightly.

“Are you feeling unwell somewhere? I haven’t learned that acupuncture technique for long, and I’m not very good at it. I’ll go back and let Old Cui take a look at you.” Damn Old Cui, he refused to treat Yan Jiuchao directly and insisted that he had sworn a poison oath back then. Now, she, a dabbler in Chinese medicine, was forced to do it at the last minute.

Yan Jiuchao did not answer her. This meant that he did not want to go back and let Old Cui treat him. Yu Wan felt that she had been married to Yan Jiuchao for so long and had never been separated much. The two of them had been together for a long time. Logically speaking, she should know him very well, but she still could not see through him.

For example, at this moment, he was looking at the sky like a fool. Yu Wan could not understand what he was doing.

Yan Jiuchao said, “I saw the Prince Consort just now.” His tone was as calm as water, as if he was saying that he had seen a bag of cabbages today.

“Oh… Huh?” Yu Wan was stunned. “What did you say? Who did you see?” Yu Wan suspected that she had heard wrongly. No one could maintain this reaction when they saw someone suspected to be their biological father.

“Prince Consort,” Yan Jiuchao said, his tone not changing at all.

Yu Wan was even more surprised. This time, she was sure that she had not heard wrongly. He had really seen the Prince Consort, but his reaction… was too calm. He had already been shocked. Otherwise, why did she think he was standing here? Could he really see a flower in the sky?

Yu Wan had also seen the Prince Consort once, but at that time, she did not know that the other party was the Prince Consort. She did not know how Yan Jiuchao was sure. Yu Wan did not ask about this and said, “Then did he see you?”

“Yes, he did.”

“Did he say anything?”

“No.”

He actually didn’t say anything? A trace of shock flashed across Yu Wan’s eyes. She thought for a while and finally decided to say the biggest doubt in her heart. “Then is he Prince Yan?”
