Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise and hurried footsteps coming from outside the garden.

Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao stood up vigilantly and looked towards the door.

A guard ran in hurriedly, looking panicked: "Miss, it's bad, someone broke in!"

"Who is it?" Jiang Yanwan frowned, feeling something was wrong.

The guard gasped and answered, "It's the young prince in the palace. He brought a few followers and said he wanted to visit you."

"What are you doing here, young prince, in the middle of the night?" Wu Junyao said coldly, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

Before they could think about it, the young prince had already walked into the garden. He was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes and holding a jade fan in his hand, looking arrogant and domineering.

"Miss Jiang, it's so late, are you still admiring the moon?" The young prince smiled, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

Jiang Yanwan suppressed her displeasure and bowed slightly, "My young prince, why did you suddenly visit me? I wonder what you can do for me?"

The young prince's eyes swept over her, and then stopped at Ah Yan, and suddenly revealed a playful smile: "I heard that your young master has a treasure, so I came here specially to see it."

Ah Yan subconsciously clenched the safety lock on his chest, took a step back behind his mother, and looked up at the little prince with a look that showed no weakness: "This is a gift from my mother, I won't give it to you!"

The little prince smiled even more brightly: "Oh, this little guy is quite stubborn. But today I want to see what the treasure is."

He stretched out his hand to grab Ah Yan, but Ah Yan cleverly dodged his hand. The young prince's face darkened, and anger suddenly surged in his heart.

"You little bastard, how dare you avoid me!" He said, waving to his followers, and several servants immediately surrounded him.

"Stop!" Wu Junyao stepped forward and protected Ah Yan behind him, his eyes as cold as a blade, "Young Prince, it is too rude to come here so late at night."

The young prince snorted coldly: "Wu Junyao, who do you think you are? How dare you block my way?"

Wu Junyao did not back down, his eyes were firm: "This is the Jiang Mansion, please respect yourself, young prince."

Seeing the situation becoming increasingly tense, Jiang Yanwan became anxious. She knew very well that she could not anger the young prince here, otherwise it would probably cause more trouble.

She stepped forward and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Young Prince, Ah Yan is a child after all and does not know the rules. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

The young prince's expression eased a little, but he still refused to give in: "Since Miss Jiang has spoken, then let it go this time. However, I must take the safety lock away."

"No!" Ah Yan suddenly shouted, his voice full of determination, "This is a gift from my uncle. I'm not giving it to you!"

"You..." The young prince was irritated by Ah Yan's stubbornness and grabbed his collar, "You little brat, you really don't know how to appreciate my kindness!"

Ah Yan struggled hard, using all his strength to punch the young prince in the face. The young prince was caught off guard and was knocked back, almost falling.

"You little bastard!" The young prince was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him.

At this moment, a steady voice came from the side: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a tall man standing at the gate of the garden. It was the King of Jin who had just taken off his disguise. He had taken off his mask and changed back into his normal clothes, his face solemn.

"Young Prince, this is too much." Prince Jin said coldly, emitting an inviolable majesty.

The young prince was stunned for a moment. The aura of the man in front of him made him feel extremely oppressive. He even forgot that his hand was still raised and stood there blankly.

"Jin...Prince Jin?" the young prince asked stutteringly, obviously not expecting to meet him here.

Prince Jin walked towards the young prince step by step, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "This is my residence. How can you break in in the middle of the night and attack my family?"

The young prince was a little panicked, but he still said, "Your Highness, I just... just want to take a look at the safety lock."

Prince Jin smiled coldly: "The peace lock is a token of love between family members, how can it be taken away casually? If the young prince really wants it, he can come back tomorrow with valuable gifts to ask for it. Now, please leave."

The young prince knew that he was in the wrong, and seeing that King Jin was determined, he finally didn't dare to stay any longer. He shook his sleeves and glared at Ah Yan fiercely: "I will remember what happened today!"

After saying this, he left the garden dejectedly with his followers.

Wu Junyao breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Ah Yan, and smiled with satisfaction: "Ah Yan, you did a great job."

Ah Yan raised his little face and bowed to Prince Jin and Wu Junyao: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Yanwan stepped forward and hugged Ah Yan tightly in her arms, tears flashing in her eyes: "Ah Yan, mother is proud of you."

King Jin looked at this heartwarming scene, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently patted Ah Yan's shoulder and said, "Ah Yan, you are very brave. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must face them bravely like you did today."

Ah Yan nodded heavily, with a determined expression on his face: "I will, Your Majesty!"

Wu Junyao also came over with a smile and touched Ah Yan's head: "Little guy, you are our hope for the future."

"Yeah!" Ah Yan smiled brightly, as if the stars in the night sky were brighter because of it.

At this moment, Jiang Yanwan suddenly thought of something and looked at Prince Jin nervously: "Your Highness, if you show up now, will you be discovered by Prince Qing's people?"

King Jin smiled calmly: "Although King Qing is cunning, I have my own countermeasures. I will handle what happened tonight, so don't worry."

Wu Junyao also nodded in agreement: "With King Jin here, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."

For a moment, the tension and uneasiness in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable sense of security.

"Okay, everyone has worked hard all day, let's go to bed early." King Jin said gently.

Jiang Yanwan took Ah Yan's hand and said softly, "Let's go, Ah Yan, mother will take you to rest."

A Yan nodded obediently, but before leaving, he looked back at Prince Jin and Wu Junyao, his young face full of trust and dependence.

The night was still gentle, and the lights in the garden gradually went out. Although the road ahead was full of challenges, at this moment, they both found each other and strengthened their determination to go on together.

"Your Highness," Jiang Yanwan suddenly stopped and looked back at Prince Jin, "Are you really not afraid?"

King Jin smiled, his eyes firm: "As long as we are together, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Wu Junyao also stepped forward and patted King Jin on the shoulder: "Yes, no matter how strong the storm is, we can make it through it."

These words flowed like a warm current in everyone's heart.
