"Prince, you're back." Ping'an was waiting anxiously at the door.

Seeing Shen Yan dismounting, he immediately came forward.

"Ping An, how are you? Is there something wrong at home?" Shen Yan asked while patting the horse's back.

"Sir, the Marquis has gone to the northern frontier, and Concubine Song fainted due to anxiety... Now she is looking for a doctor! There is no one in charge at home now, and I don't know what to do. I can only wait for the prince to come back and make the decision!" Ping An replied anxiously.

"Well..., I already know about my father's affairs. As for Aunt Song, please ask two more doctors to take a good look. I'll go back to my room to change my clothes before coming back..." After Shen Yan finished speaking, he returned to his own yard.

He hadn't lied to his father before, his father was indeed going to have another little son.

It is estimated that Aunt Song fainted this time due to her pregnancy.

According to the book, Aunt Song was indeed pregnant with a boy this time, but the fetus died in her womb at about seven months old when the news of his father's death in the war came back.

One corpse, two lives.

"Hey……"

This time, I hope he will be born safely.

After Shen Yan returned to his room, he quickly changed into clean clothes and went to Aunt Song's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw two doctors busy at work, one was taking the patient's pulse and the other was writing a prescription.

Shen Yan frowned slightly, walked up and asked, "How is Concubine Song?"

One of the doctors looked up and saw that it was Shen Yan, so he bowed and said, "My Lord, my aunt just fainted because she was too anxious, and the fetus in her belly is fine. She just needs to rest well and take medicine on time, and she will recover."

Shen Yan heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this. He turned to look at Ping An and said, "Ping An, hurry up and get the medicine back so that Concubine Song can have a good rest."

Ping An responded and immediately ran out to get the medicine.

When Concubine Song saw Shen Yan, her eyes were full of gratitude and she said, "My Lord, you are back."

Shen Yan smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Aunt Song. Dad is only temporarily on the expedition to the northern border and will be back soon. You need to rest well now and give birth to a healthy brother..."

After hearing this, Aunt Su's eyes showed a hint of warmth and she nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Butler Yang, my father is away at war, and I am serving in the palace."

Shen Yan turned to look at Butler Yang and said, "On weekdays, you should pay more attention to food and clothing. I'd like to trouble Butler Yang to take care of the Marquis' Mansion."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do my best to protect the mansion." Butler Yang bowed his head and said respectfully.

Shen Yan smiled and nodded, then looked at Aunt Song and said, "Aunt Song, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

"Please go to bed early, my Lord." Aunt Song said softly. Shen Yan smiled slightly and turned away.

Aunt Song watched Shen Yan leave. Only after his figure disappeared from her sight did she look away. Her eyes were red and her face was full of joy. It was not only about her pregnancy, but more about the change in Shen Yan's attitude.

"Aunt, please don't cry anymore. Your health is the most important thing right now." Nanny sighed softly, feeling deeply moved.

Ever since his wife passed away, the prince had been on guard against others and was full of hostility towards his aunt. Now, he has finally gotten his due.

"I understand, Madam." Aunt Song wiped her eyes, her voice choking, "Now that the prince is willing to recognize me, I have lived up to my sister's trust."

"Okay, Auntie, go to bed early. The most important thing now is to take good care of your body..." Nanny helped Auntie Song lie down.

After Shen Yan returned to his yard, he asked the servant to fetch some hot water so that he could take a nice bath.

He stood next to the bathtub, took off his heavy clothes, revealing his muscular upper body without any fat.

Shen Yan lowered his eyes and looked at his body. Thinking of Xiao Yi, whom he met at the palace gate today, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

"I don't know how he is doing?" Shen Yan murmured in a low voice, with the corners of his mouth rising unconsciously.

Shen Yan immersed himself in the hot water and felt the fatigue in his body slowly dissipating.

He closed his eyes and began to think about what happened today, his father's departure, and Aunt Song's pregnancy.

"Master, do you need me to help you change your clothes?" Ping'an's voice interrupted Shen Yan's thoughts.

Shen Yan opened his eyes and saw Ping An standing respectfully beside him. He shook his head slightly, "No need, you go down first."

Ping An responded and left the room.

Shen Yan stood up, picked up the towel beside the bathtub and dried his body.

He changed into a loose silk robe and walked over to sit on the couch in front of the window.

The moonlight outside the window sprinkled into the yard, but Shen Yan felt a little heavy.

He remembered that there seemed to be a thief in the mansion, but he couldn't remember who it was. The butler was a loyal man. After the mansion was defeated, he not only did not leave, but was beaten to death in order to protect his master. . .

But this thief is...

Shen Yan went through everyone in his mind, but he couldn't find anyone who matched the criteria? ?

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll ask the housekeeper to pay more attention on weekdays. A thief will always reveal his flaws..." Shen Yan shook his head and decided to put this issue aside for the time being.

He laid on the bed, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind.

However, his tired body and heavy eyelids made him fall asleep quickly.

In Shen Yan's dream, he saw flames rising into the sky burning the entire mansion, Shen Chi was pierced through the heart by arrows, Aunt Song was lying on the bed with her eyes open, with blood and flesh beneath her, and even Xiao Yi was lying on the ground with a black face and eyes wide open. Shen Yan tried to get close to him, but found himself blocked by an invisible barrier, and he could only watch it all helplessly.

"No!" Shen Yan sat up suddenly, his forehead covered with cold sweat.

Shen Yan's personal attendant Ping An came in with a basin of water. Seeing his pale face, he couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Prince, what's wrong with you? Did you have a nightmare?"

Ping'an put the basin on the shelf, picked up a clean towel and handed it to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan nodded, took the towel and wiped his face, trying to wake up.

The dream was too real, as if he had experienced it himself. When he woke up, he found his heart was torn and painful.

"Prince, do you want to ask a doctor to come and take a look?" Ping An looked at Shen Yan's pale face and couldn't help but persuade him.

"No need." Shen Yan shook his head. It might be because he had completely brought himself into the shoes of the original owner. When he saw Shen Chi going to the expedition yesterday, he was just over-thinking.

Ping An knew Shen Yan's character. Seeing that he insisted, he didn't say anything more and just silently helped him wash up.

Shen Yan straightened his clothes, opened the door and walked out. It was his daytime shift and he still had to go to the palace.
