Li An smiled.

"I want to mix some Frostbite Medicine and buy some New Year's goods when I enter the city."

Year Goods... Zhao He had a complicated look in his eyes.

Since the new year was about to arrive, next year's National Examination would also be near.

"Do you want to come with me?"

Zhao He shook his head and refused, indicating that he wanted to stay home and study.

"Can I go?"

Her tone was too cold, not like doubt, but more like … Commands.

Zhao He and Li An were both stunned for a moment. Zhao He felt that he had been spoiled.

Li An … Lee said he was flattered.

"You have to promise me, don't run around like your sister."

Zhao He turned his head away, disdainful of being the negative example to educate his children.

Li An turned around and gave Zhao He his orders with a warm expression.

"You stay home, too."

Tsk, would she burn down his house?

Chu Huai Nan stood up, and walked up to the seated Zhao He. Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, he raised his hand and rubbed Zhao He's heart.

"Wait for me to come back."

For some reason, Zhao He's face turned red.

After being cared for by the two men, they impatiently pushed the two of them out of the courtyard.

"Got it, got it, you guys go and come back quickly!"

These few days, Doctor Li had spent quite a bit of time outside the door, preparing to helplessly rub his nose.

Zhao He's clear voice once again drifted over from the courtyard.

"And bring more delicious food!"

Doctor Li helplessly replied. He wanted to ask Chu if he was leaving, but the child had already walked ahead of him in silence.

In the yard, Zhao He rubbed the center of his brows. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he still felt a bit distracted.

The two people walking on the road remained silent until Li An stopped walking. Chu Huai Nan, who was walking in front, also stopped walking as he noticed the abnormality in the people around him. He turned his head around and looked at Li An as if he didn't understand what was happening.

Li An still had a faint smile of drunkenness on his face as he said indifferently, "The feeling of always using the Bone Shrinking Technique must be very uncomfortable."

Chu Huai Nan gently squinted his eyes, and a sense of oppression started to emanate from his body.

Li An acted as if he didn't feel it and continued, "I'm a doctor. From the first time I saw you, I knew that you were weird." He paused for a moment before adding, "I also know that although you came for Zhao He, you have no ill intentions towards her."

Li An probably did not expect that it was because of these few words that Chu Huai Nan decided to spare his life.

Every time he recalled later on, he would have to think about how lucky he was.

Because not long after he exposed Chu Huai Nan, the back of his head was ruthlessly struck by a rod. His vision went black and he fainted, unconscious.

When he fell over, he revealed the white-robed Daoist Priest behind him.

The Daoist blew on the sheath that was used to hit him. His eyes were clear and cold, his eyes filled with disdain.

He wore white robes as if he was a deity that was walking on the wind and snow.

Chu Huai Nan had already recovered his slender figure, he hesitated for a while, then said lightly, "Let's go."

Second Prince's Estate.

The fire in the pavilion was burning strongly, as if to welcome this guest who had come from afar.

Chu Huai Nan was still dressed in plain clothes, the only difference was that his face looked more haggard than before.

He held a cup of hot tea in his hand and lowered his eyes slightly. His long eyelashes were like the feathers of a crow, casting a faint shadow over his eyes.

He sniffed the tea in his hand. The tea was a rare item that had been offered by the Siamese cat.

He vaguely felt that this time, the Second Prince seemed to be treating him with some respect.

A series of candid but not courteous voices accompanied by footsteps came from outside the hall. The owner of the mansion had returned.

"Mr Nan Huai, we meet again."

It was as if the Daoist Priest had heard it and understood it himself. He had no power and no concubine to support him. If he wanted to obtain the throne, he would need to rely on the strategists.

Since the Nan Huai was willing to send himself to the door, he was happy to use it and wait for its effects.

Nanhuo also put down his tea cup and stood up.

"Your majesty has been well since we last met."

The two of them greeted each other. The Second Prince took the seat at the head of the table, while the Second Prince held up his hand, indicating that they should drink tea.

"Mister, it's a coincidence that you're here. This is a new and good tea that has been submitted. This King only gets this little bit every year." The Emperor's preference was obvious to all, but all the good things had to be left for their favorite son, and that was the case for women as well.

As if thinking of the marriage between the Xie Clan and Yan Jiuke, a trace of hostility flashed through the Second Prince's eyes.

Chu Huai Nan didn't think much of it, he took a sip of the tea, then put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Has Your Highness ever heard of giving a wood peach as a reward for Qiong Yao?"

The Second Prince came back to his senses and frowned. "What do you mean, mister?"

"Your Highness treated me like a good cup of tea, I want to return Your Highness a big gift." Chu Huai Nan paused for a moment, the corner of his mouth raised to form a sly smile, "Today is the day that I will assist Your Highness in taking down a military chief."

The Second Prince reacted for a moment before realizing who the military chief was. He seemed to be from the Xie Clan, and seemed to be the Marquis Xie's younger brother.

Suppressing the Xie Family was a relief, but this small military chief had no more than three thousand soldiers. Not to mention hurting Ol 'Nine's foundation, he probably wouldn't even get hurt on the skin.

Thinking of this, the Second Prince's face darkened.

Chu Huai Nan naturally knew the reason. He lowered his head and gently smiled, cursing in his heart that this prince of Yan was indeed an idiot.

"Your Highness, you need to know that although the military commander of Yan City only has three thousand troops, when necessary, he far surpasses the one hundred thousand troops outside the pass."

Of course, when necessary … The Second Prince seemed to have thought of something and his pupils constricted.

When it started?

Chu Huai Nan silently sighed, he still had to enlighten this idiot. Holding onto the pure white tea lid, he leisurely said, "Even if Your Highness does not cause trouble, you still have to be on guard against others, right?"

The Second Prince's face became serious and anxious. He stood up as if his butt was burnt through and saluted Chu Huai Nan in a flustered manner.

"Sir, please teach me, this military aircraft battalion must not fall into the hands of Ol 'Nine."

Finally, he understood.

Chu Huai Nan held his chin and received this bow. He was curious from the bottom of his heart how this idiot had survived till now.

"I wonder how many soldiers can be used in His Highness's residence?"

The Second Prince hesitated for a moment, "The soldiers of the prefecture …" "Only three hundred."

Chu Huai Nan nodded, it was enough.

The Second Prince was covered in cold sweat. Could it be that this mister wanted to clash head on with the military aircraft battalion? Three hundred and three thousand? He asked with a trembling voice, "What does mister want?"

Chu Huai Nan fiddled with the cooling tea in his hand. He and Zhao He did not care about how much Siamese tea he had in Zhao Palace.

He continued to smile faintly, "I don't want to do anything, I just want His Highness to be the fisherman for once."
