The Tyrant Father’s Pampered Daughter

523 I Want to Go Home and Find Father

As the host, Prince Xuan spoke first.

“Today, light is brought to our humble abode as it is truly an honor to be able to invite the princess and the Marquis Yongye here at the same time. I will toast to the two of you.”

Gu Nuo’er hurriedly picked up the cup with her small hand and turned to look at the maidservant at the side, waiting for the other party to fill her cup with wine.

Unexpectedly, just as Gu Nuo’er raised her cup, Ye Siming raised his finger and pressed it down.

He did not look at Gu Nuo’er. Instead, there was a cold smile on his thin lips.

“The princess can’t handle alcohol. She’s still young. I’ll drink her share to show my sincerity.”

With that, Ye Siming raised his head and drank two cups in a row.

Yun Linzhou applauded foolishly. “Marquis Yongye has a good tolerance for alcohol!”

Prince Xuan took this opportunity to ask, “I heard that the Emperor once drank with Marquis Yongye, but he was no match for the Marquis. Is that true?”

Ye Siming looked up with a cold expression. “Nonsense. Your Highness, don’t listen to the rumors. Otherwise, if His Majesty finds out, he may punish you.”

Prince Xuan was stunned.

He had only wanted to get some information out of Ye Siming. Who would have thought that Marquis Yongye would be so tight-lipped?

He clearly looked like a child.

Prince Xuan restrained his expression, and Princess Consort Xuan cooperated to fill up Ye Siming’s cup with wine.

Prince Xuan smiled again and asked, “The emperor has given you more than a hundred troops. Where do you plan to use them?”

Generally speaking, people like the Marquis Yongye would be roped in by all parties once they had military strength.

It was obvious what Prince Xuan was thinking.

However, Ye Siming acted as if he didn’t understand Prince Xuan’s hint. He only said, “What else can we do other than protect the country and the people?”

Prince Xuan was speechless.

Was Marquis Yongye really that stubborn?

Prince Xuan had nothing to say. He raised his cup and invited Ye Siming to drink with him.

Then, his adopted son, Yun Chuhuai, took turns with him to toast Ye Siming.

The father and son were determined to get useful information out of Ye Siming.

Yun Linzhou listened to his parents and brother’s conversation without batting an eyelid. He looked at Gu Nuo’er and was about to invite her to walk around the courtyard after she had eaten her fill.

However, at this moment, the sound of a soup spoon falling to the ground came from Gu Nuo’er’s side!

Ye Siming looked sideways. The child’s face was very pale!

Her beautiful brows were tightly knitted, and her small face was filled with pain.

Prince Xuan and his wife’s expressions changed. “Your Highness, are you alright?”

Gu Nuo’er fell into Ye Siming’s arms. “My stomach hurts… The food at Uncle Prince Xuan’s house… doesn’t seem clean!”

Ye Siming’s expression turned cold as he hurriedly hugged Gu Nuo’er and stood up.

Prince Xuan’s family hurriedly followed. “Are you going to see the doctor? We have a doctor in the manor…”

Before he could finish, Ye Siming quickly interrupted, “I’ll take the princess to see the imperial physician. Otherwise, if anything happens, Your Highness won’t be able to bear the responsibility.”

His words caused the rest of Prince Xuan’s words to get stuck in his throat.

Yun Linzhou followed behind Ye Siming anxiously and kept calling out, “Nuo’er… Nuo’er!”

What was wrong with her? Could it be that the food was really unclean?

Gu Nuo’er grabbed Ye Siming’s sleeve tightly and whimpered pitifully, “I want to go home and find Father. Boohoo, my stomach hurts.”

Ye Siming hugged her tightly. “I’ll take you home now.”

Prince Xuan and the others saw Ye Siming and Gu Nuo’er off uneasily and watched as they got into the carriage.

Yun Linzhou’s eyes were filled with gloom!

The chance to interact with Nuo’er was gone just like that.

He turned around with a worried expression on his face. “Father, Mother, what’s going on? What unclean thing did Nuo’er eat?!”

Princess Consort Xuan looked surprised. “We’ve all eaten what the princess ate. The only difference is that she drank that bowl of chicken soup with shellfish.”

Yun Linzhou’s gaze immediately turned to Yun Chuhuai.

The latter said inexplicably, “There can’t be anything wrong with the chicken soup. Before it was served, I had someone test it.”

Prince Xuan added, “Chuhuai has always been cautious. There won’t be a problem with this chicken soup!”

Then… what went wrong?
