Harem Daily Life

Chapter 721 Love from older brothers and sisters

Shadow resisted the urge to strangle He Xiaobao to death on the spot, put the child on the ground, turned around and flew away. He had to go back early to change clothes. He couldn't bear to see the child so dirty for even a second.

Ying Er led his men to chase after him, and He Linzhang took a step forward and picked up He Xiaobao.

He Xiaobao blinked his eyes after vomiting a belly full of milk. He vomited out all the milk that he had swallowed with great difficulty, which made the little baby very upset.

"Wuwu, wuwu." He Xiaobao complained about his grievances and lay in his father's arms, begging for comfort.

He Linzhang was heartbroken. He brought the child into the house and examined him carefully. Finding no external injuries, he called the wet nurse to take the child downstairs to feed him.

Tao Yanyan was still a little uneasy. "Your Majesty, I don't know where this man came from, but he was able to break into the palace as if he were alone. Moreover, what was his purpose in stealing Xiaobao?"

He Linzhang's eyes darkened and he soothed, "The secret guards in the palace didn't discover him at the first time. This person's martial arts are better than the secret guards." The secret guards can detect the breath of foreign invaders at the first time, but this person hid his breath tonight and was not discovered until he was right under their noses. It seems that he is an expert among experts.

"Shadow Two is going after them. Once we track them down, we'll know who they are."

He Xiaobao finished his midnight snack and although he was yawning, he was reluctant to go to sleep. Tao Yanyan asked the wet nurse to bring the child over and let him sleep next to his parents.

He Xiaobao turned over, put his thick legs on Tao Yanyan, grabbed Tao Yanyan's clothes with his small hands, and then fell asleep.

He Linzhang patted He Xiaobao's small body gently, with a dark look in his eyes.

Ying Er and his group of secret guards raced through the streets like the wind, their figures moving like ghosts, weaving in and out of the crowds and buildings. They chased the black-clad figure ahead closely, not daring to stop for even a moment.

The quiet streets were disturbed by the sounds of chasing and fighting, and some brave people couldn't help but quietly open the windows to see what was happening.

Along the way, the two sides engaged in fierce confrontations. The secret guards used all their skills, various hidden weapons and moves appeared one after another, but Shadow was very skilled in martial arts and was always able to cleverly avoid their attacks and fight back from time to time, making it difficult for the secret guards to cope.

Despite this, the secret guards gritted their teeth and continued their pursuit. However, after chasing for several blocks, they still lost track of their target. They looked at the sight of their target disappearing into the night, filled with frustration and helplessness.

When they dragged their exhausted bodies back to the palace to report, each of them was injured and looked in a miserable state. They lowered their heads and remained silent, obviously feeling very frustrated about the failure of this mission.

"Your Majesty, it is my incompetence. Please punish me." The secret guard failed to complete the task and was ashamed to face the emperor, feeling extremely guilty.

He Linzhang looked at everyone and said, "I want you to make amends. From now on, you must strengthen the security of the palace and dispatch ten secret guards to conduct a covert search throughout the city. All those who have recently come to the capital and have high martial arts skills will be investigated."

Ying Er received the order and went down. Ever since Ying Yi left the capital to carry out the mission, Ying Er had become the small boss. He had not expected that such a big mistake would happen soon after taking office. The young master was almost stolen by a thief. It was simply the biggest stain on his career as a secret guard. He had to catch the thief as soon as possible to avenge his previous shame.

The next day, when the children learned that He Xiaobao was almost stolen last night, they all surrounded him and guarded him.

"Xiaobao, this is my favorite picture book. The pictures on it were all drawn by my second brother. I'm giving it to you. Please keep it well." Yu Cheng put the picture book with a brand new cover in Xiaobao's hand, as if handing over an important token.

He Yue narrowed her eyes and ruthlessly sabotaged the situation: "Second brother's painting? Don't you find it eye-catching even after just one look?"

Yu Cheng choked and pouted, "Second sister, please don't say anything nonsense. I admire Second Brother the most. Anything he gives me is my most precious treasure."

He Yue raised an eyebrow: "Is that so? Then when the Second Royal Brother comes over, I will tell him to draw a few more picture books for you. After all... you cherish them very much."

Yu Cheng: "..."

Yunuo hesitated for a long time, then held up the jar of snacks in front of He Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you always stare at my snack jar, and I never give it to you. Today I will give it to you, and it will be yours from now on."

He Xiaobao was dancing with joy. God knows he'd been craving Fifth Sister's snack jar for months! There were always endless delicious treats in there. Could he finally get it today? It felt like a dream!

After getting the snack jar he had been longing for, He Xiaobao couldn't wait even a second and quickly opened the jar to take out the snacks, but... it was empty?

He didn't give up, and dug around in there with his little fleshy hands, but only caught a ball of air.

He still didn't give up, so he turned the jar upside down and shook it, but nothing came out.

He Xiaobao tilted his head and stared at his fifth sister with drool: "Ah, ah ah ah ah?"

Where are the snacks? The delicious candied fruits, the candies wrapped in sugar wrappers, the cookies made by Aunt Caiyun, where have they all gone?

Fifth sister, are you scamming the baby?

He Yue took off the small snake-shaped jade pendant from her waist and hung it on He Xiaobao's chubby waist: "This is my favorite pendant. I give it to you today. Please don't break it."

He Xiaobao's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death. His short little hands kept pulling at the jade pendant, and he was muttering to himself, "Stop it now! I don't want these 'bugs' biting my flesh, wuwuwu."

In the end, the little chubby hand was no match for the second sister's big hand, and the little snake jade pendant was firmly tied to He Xiaobao's waist.

"Don't move, the pendant will fall off if you move." He Yue shouted, and He Xiaobao was so scared that he didn't dare to move.

He Xuan gave He Xiaobao the sachet she usually wore: "This sachet contains insect repellent spices. If you wear it on your body, it will repel mosquitoes and also have a fresh herbal fragrance."

He Xiaobao opened his eyes wide and looked at his elder sister: There are no mosquitoes biting in winter, and the herbs smell good... A-choo, my nose is itchy.

He Xiaobao had a false alarm and received many useless gifts.

He turned his head towards Tao Yanyan: "Ahhhh?"

Mother, what are you giving me?

Tao Yanyan had the gifts from the brothers and sisters put away, then picked up He Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, are you tired and want to sleep? Then your mother will take you to bed."

He Xiaobao: “…”

Hello, I just woke up. If you want to take a nap, go ahead. But don’t take me with you. I’m still full of energy.

He Xiaobao was carried away by Wuqing and followed Tao Yanyan to the bedroom to catch up on his sleep.

After a while, Tao Yanyan sighed softly: "Xiaobao, what are you still busy with? Why don't you sleep?"

He Xiaobao tugged at the little snake jade pendant on his chubby waist, sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Ahhhhhh..." I have to pull it away quickly while my second sister is not around, otherwise this "bug" will bite people.

The plump flesh is about to be bitten.
