That night, the new moon in the sky was like a hook.

Lying on the bed, Qin Yiyuan slowly opened her eyes and walked out gently without disturbing Xiaocha.

She first fetched a basin of water from the outside and put it by the window. When the reflection of the moon fell into the water, she bit her fingertip and dripped two drops of blood in.

Then, she rubbed the bracelet a few times devoutly. After making a hand gesture and chanting the incantation. She stared at the surface of the water without blinking.

A moment later, a ripple flashed across the basin, and then a light-colored curtain was reflected. The thin smoke lingered outside the tent, and the crisp sound of wind chimes could be heard.

She suddenly felt a little excited. Just as she was about to see what would happen next, a dark cloud suddenly floated over and blocked out the moonlight.

The round-light spell lost its moonlight and completely lost its effect. The image reflected on the surface of the water also disappeared.

This made Qin Yiyuan very angry. She raised her head and glared at the cloud.

At the same time, in a courtyard in Capital.

Yuan Ying pushed the door open and entered the room. He saw Cang Ling playing with the baby on the bed with a wind chime.

The child had been brought back by his Excellency for two or three days and rarely cried. Except for peeing and starving, he was very well-behaved for the rest of the time.

Seeing that Cang Ling ignored the baby was sleeping and shook the wind chime on his face, Yuan Ying couldn't stand it anymore.

"If you don't let him sleep, I'll throw you out."

Cang Ling was originally bored, but when he saw Yuan Ying, he immediately became energetic. He turned around and asked, "How is our Excellency doing?"

Li Moxing hadn't been in a good condition since that day when he went berserk in the Xuanyin Pool. Yuan Ying was the only one among these guards who was proficient in medical skills and had been serving Li Moxing closely for the past two days.

Seeing the expectant expression of Cang Ling, Yuan Ying looked grave and put the bowl on the table.

"Still the same. The medicine I made can only temporarily suppress the toxicity, and he still needs to be nursed in the Xuanyin Pool. If he leaves the Xuanyin Pool, he can only hold on for two hours at most."

Cang Ling bounced up from the bed with a sullen face.

"Didn't you say last time that the poison in our Excellency can be suppressed by the golden phoenix blood? Let's find out the person with the phoenix blood and draw out the blood!"

Cang Ling said with the eyes a little more dignified, "It is not so easy to find a person with phoenix blood. Even if there is one that is known by the world, I am afraid that he has already been madly robbed by the Xuanmen Sect from the four countries."

Cang Ling crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his face became even worse.

"Then what do you think we should do? This doesn't work! That doesn't work either!"

Cang Ling sighed silently.

If he knew what to do, he would not have been so troubled by the poison in his Excellency's body for the past year.

While he was deep in thought, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Li Moxing walked in under the protection of Zhu Lv.

"Your Excellency."

Yuan Ying and Cang Ling immediately bowed respectfully.

Li Moxing nodded, walked to the bed, glanced at the sleeping child, and sat down on the stool.

"How's the situation today?"

Yuan Ying cupped his hands and said, "He's very obedient. As long as there's someone reliable to take care of him, he will be fine."

Cang Ling had a short fuse. He had just heard that Li Moxing had never recovered, but now he was in the mood to care about this kid. He couldn't help but lose his composure.

"Whose child is it, Your Excellency? Why should we keep him in the manor?"

If it wasn't for taking care of this child, no one would have barged into the Xuanyin Pool when the Excellency was adjusting his breathing that night.

Seeing that he was so rude, Yuan Ying and Zhu Lv glanced at him at the same time.

But they were also a little curious about the identity of the child on the bed. Why did their Excellency pick it up in person.

Meeting their hesitant gazes, Li Moxing coughed uneasily. The voice coming through the mask seemed to fluctuate a little.

"This child... is mine."

"What?!"

Cang Ling and Zhu Lv opened their mouths wider than goose eggs at the same time, and even Yuan Ying, who had always been calm, had cracks on his face.

Li Moxing put one hand on the table and said in a low voice, "I'll tell you in detail later. Put the child in the backyard and take care of him. Don't let anyone know."

"Yes, Your excellency."

Although the identity of this child was clear, Cang Ling and the others were still full of doubts.

As the personal guards of their Excellency, they thought that nothing could be hidden from them. After all, one of them would follow their Excellency at any time.

But about the child, when did their Excellency do it?

At the thought of who the child's mother was, Yuan Ying couldn't hold back his expression anymore.

That was Princess Rong!

The sister-in-law of his Excellency.

Although she was indeed very beautiful, some of the women that the Emperor and the Empress usually gave his Excellency looked beautiful as her. Why did his Excellency only choose her?

Li Moxing stopped explaining and said in a deep voice, "Since Qin Yiyuan is still alive, we can't let her know about the child's existence."

Yuan Ying and the other two men immediately cupped their hands and said, "Understood."

The reason why Li Moxing told them about the child's background was that he knew that these three people were absolutely loyal to him. In his previous life, he had been besieged by killers, and they had fought to the death to protect him.

In this life, he would never let this happen again.

"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. Leave the rest to the nanny."

As soon as he finished speaking, a round woman came in, bowed respectfully to him, and went to the bedside to take care of the baby.

After Li Moxing left, Yuan Ying and the other two men returned to their rooms.

Cang Ling was the most heartless of the three of them. When he found out that the baby was Li Moxing's child, his attitude towards the child immediately took a 180-degree turn. He even clumsily patted and coaxed the child for a while.

Yuan Ying and Zhu Lv thought more than him. When they saw him yawning as he entered the room, they stood in the corridor and chatted for a while.

"Do you think that child really belongs to our Excellency, Yuan Ying, really?"

Yuan Ying thought for a while, but his voice was still calm. "Since our Excellency said so, it shouldn't be false."

"But, the child's mother is King ..."

As soon as the word "King" was out, Yuan Ying stopped him with a look and warned, "It's enough for the three of us to know about this. Don't make it public."

Zhu Lv nodded and said in confusion, "Our Excellency has indeed changed a lot since the big fire last year. Has he really fallen in love with her?"

Yuan Ying knew who Zhu Lv was referring to, so he thought for a moment and said, "We can't guess what our Excellency is thinking. Let's go back and rest early."

Although he said so, his thought was different from that of Zhu Lv.

To some extent, his Excellency had indeed changed.

He had become more thoughtful and unpredictable than before. Sometimes, he even suspected that his Excellency had read the script written by God in advance. Otherwise, how could he have guessed everything so accurately!?

If this matter was also within his Excellency's expectations, then the dispute between his Excellency and Qin Yiyuan would definitely not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
