Chapter 507: Chapter 470, Two Foxes (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3
Wu Jingyi nodded, “Don’t worry, since Fan Kun is dead and the news hasn’t been leaked, I won’t let the events here reach Prince Duan’s ears.”
Xiao Yeyang: “Wentao and Wenkai will stay here to help you out, please offer them some guidance.”
Wu Jingyi glanced at Xiao Yeyang, “Little Prince, you seem quite concerned about the Yan Family.”
Xiao Yeyang’s expression remained unchanged, “After all, whether it’s the gold mine or this place, both are related to the Yan Family. Since we’ve gained merit, isn’t it only right to take care of them?”
After saying this, he didn’t wait for Wu Jingyi to react and left on his own.
Watching Xiao Yeyang leave, Wu Jingyi couldn’t help but snort again.
Nice, this guy actually dared to show him attitude!
Does he not know, even his father, Prince Ping, is courteous towards him when he sees him?
“Needs disciplining!”
Wu Jingyi cursed under his breath, but watching Xiao Yeyang leading Daohua towards the caves, he sighed inwardly, the Little Prince has indeed grown through experience; now he has more and more of that Imperial Family’s undeniable presence.
…
Under Xiao Yeyang’s lead, passing through the cave, Daohua arrived at the previously tranquil valley.
“Big sister!”

“Fourth brother!”
The siblings examined each other, and seeing that both of their complexions were still quite spirited, they simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fourth brother, you need to be more cautious in the future, don’t rashly rush into situations.”
“Big sister, you’re one to talk, I’ve heard that you recklessly confronted the assassin head-on. You should be even more cautious!”
“Fourth brother…”
“Big sister…”
Watching the siblings talking, Xiao Yeyang walked to the front of the carriage and examined the interior decorations.
Defu instantly smiled upon seeing this, “My lord be assured, knowing that Miss Yan had been injured and couldn’t withstand jolts, when I was informed last night to find a carriage, I specifically stated it had to be spacious, comfortable, and steady.”
Xiao Yeyang looked around and, pleased, nodded, waited a moment, then seeing Daohua still chattering with Yan Wenkai, he said with a smile, “The distance from here to the inn is not short, are you sure you still want to talk some more?”
Hearing this, Daohua once more anxiously reminded Yan Wenkai, then walked towards the carriage.
Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua up into the carriage, and said to Yan Wenkai, who had followed, “Guard this place well, and should anyone come, no matter the reason, apprehend them all.”
Yan Wenkai nodded solemnly, “Rest assured, we will.” Then, he added, “You also take good care of my sister, alright?”
Xiao Yeyang gave him a glance and then turned to board the carriage.
Daohua was still looking at the carriage’s interior when she saw Xiao Yeyang sit down, and with surprise on her face, asked, “Why aren’t you riding a horse?”
Xiao Yeyang commanded Defu to get moving, then sat down beside Daohua, “I only dozed off for a short while around 5:00 AM, and I’m feeling a bit tired, so I don’t want to ride.”
Daohua, seeing the redness in his eyes, moved over, “Then you should lean here and rest for a while.” As she spoke, she handed him a pillow from inside the carriage.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t take it, instead gesturing for Daohua to lean on it, “I can’t sleep in the carriage.” As he spoke, he took out the intercepted letter and began to study it.
Daohua: “I’ve seen that letter; it’s just an ordinary note sending well wishes.”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “It’s definitely not that simple.”
Daohua, thinking of spy dramas she’d seen in her previous life, suggested, “Do you think Prince Duan’s people might have a book, and when you match the words on there, it translates into something else?”
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes flashed, “That’s an interesting idea.” As he spoke, he looked at Daohua, smiling, “How did you come up with that?”
Daohua smiled, “I read it in storybooks.”
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, “In the future, don’t throw away the storybooks you’ve read; let me see them as well.”
Hearing this, Daohua laughed a bit; her brothers at home had said similar things.
But where was she supposed to find storybooks for them?
It seemed she couldn’t always use storybooks as an excuse from now on.
Xiao Yeyang continued to study the letter, and noticing Daohua sitting bored, he opened the small drawer in the carriage, “There are snacks here; if you’re hungry, help yourself.”
Daohua nodded, seeing Xiao Yeyang deep in thought, she didn’t disturb him, and began eating the sweets. After a while, due to a lack of sleep the previous night and the rocking of the carriage, she started to feel sleepy.
Seeing there was enough space in the carriage, Daohua placed the pillow beside her and bent down to lean on it, quickly dozing off.
In the quiet carriage, Xiao Yeyang mulled over the letter several times without discovering anything, rubbed his slightly swollen head, tired of thinking, and when he turned his head, he saw Daohua asleep, leaning on the pillow.
Seeing her injured arm hanging in mid-air caused Xiao Yeyang’s heart to tighten, and he immediately sat beside her, intending to reposition her to lay on her side.
Daohua, who was sleeping drowsily, disliked the disturbance and made several displeased ‘hmm’ noises.
Xiao Yeyang quickly reassured her, “It’s uncomfortable to sleep like that; you can lie down in the carriage.” As he spoke, he slowly helped her to lie on her side, and then carefully placed Daohua’s head on his lap.
After doing this, he took Daohua’s right hand in his, preventing any movement during her sleep that might pull at her wounds.
Looking at Daohua’s furrowed brow, restless even in sleep, Xiao Yeyang smoothed it with his hand and gently patted her shoulder, “It’s all right now, everything is over, sleep well.”
Whether it was Xiao Yeyang’s comforting that worked or not, Daohua’s brow slowly relaxed.
