Chapter 988: Smart Little Black Eggs!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The harem had its own small kitchen. Hong Luan was the Sorcerer Queen’s trusted aide and a regular of the small kitchen. When the small kitchen heard that she wanted a large bowl of noodles and two baskets of buns, it was prepared for her without a word.

Hong Luan took advantage of his carelessness and took a few small bowls and a few pairs of chopsticks. She carried the food box back into the house.

The little black eggs had already obediently sat on the stool and looked at her with soft and cute expressions. Hong Luan’s heart melted. She could not be soft-hearted, could not be soft-hearted, could not be soft-hearted…

After reciting the incantation a hundred times, Hong Luan locked the door and walked over to place the food box on the table. She then lit incense in the stove.

The incense was used to cover the fragrance of food.

When Hong Luan first arrived by the Sorcerer Queen’s side, she was only five years old. She was seven years old when His Highness Ye Yang was born. She had watched His Highness Ye Yang grow up, but His Highness Ye Yang would not sleep and eat with her, so this was the first time she was taking care of a child.

She thought that she would be overwrought, but who knew that the children were unbelievably obedient? Those who didn’t know better would think that there were no children in this room.

Prince Ye Yang was much naughtier than them when he was young.

Of course, if Hong Luan knew how the little black eggs caused trouble in the Young Master Manor and how to be a village tyrant in Lotus Flower Village, she probably wouldn’t think so.

“You must be starving. You’ll be able to eat soon.” Hong Luan opened the food box and took out the steaming noodles and fragrant buns.

Dabao stretched out his little black hand to wash his hands. They were good babies who liked cleanliness. Hong Luan was stunned for a moment before she burst into laughter. The little fat boy’s love for cleanliness was really cute.

Hong Luan went to the ear room to get hot water and washed their hands. The three of them handed the little bald head over.

Their faces had to be washed too.

Hong Luan fetched another basin of water and wiped the little bald man’s face. She washed their little faces and made the three of them white… Uh… black and clean. Then, she brought the three of them back to the table.

“Alright, you can eat now.” Hong Luan distributed the noodles and handed them to them in a small bowl. Unexpectedly, they did not eat it. ‘What’s wrong?” Hong Luan asked in confusion.

The three of them clumsily grabbed their chopsticks and worked together to pick a bowl of noodles for Hong Luan.

Hong Luan looked at the bowl of steaming noodles in front of her. It was unknown if it was because of the hot steam, but her eyes were a little moist.

She could be considered an aristocratic family of the Sorcerer Clan, but her family’s fortunes had fallen. When it came to her father’s generation, talents had withered and it was difficult to continue. She had no choice but to be sold by her father. She was lucky and was chosen by the Great Elder.

The Great Elder sent her to the Harem. She had shown extraordinary talent in sorcery. The Sorcerer Queen thought highly of her and said to the sorcerer who taught her, “I want this child, nurture her well.”

The Sorcerer Queen’s words give a new lease on life. From a little maidservant who could be bullied by others, she became a target for careful nurturing. She did not disappoint people. She became an elementary-stage witch at the age of ten and advanced to an earth-stage witch at the age of sixteen. She was only one step away from becoming a Heaven Realm Great Sorcerer. Such achievements were extremely rare among witches.

She was grateful for the Sorcerer Queen’s kindness and was loyal to her. However, she understood that the Sorcerer Queen thought highly of her because she had value. Wen Xu had approached her because he coveted her beauty. No one sincerely treated her well.

A powerful sourness surged into her heart, and Hong Luan did not move for a long time.

“Hu hu Xiaobao suddenly leaned over and blew on her noodles. “Don’t be afraid, it’s not hot anymore.”

Hong Luan turned around and wiped her eyes.

The three little black eggs started eating. The noodles and buns were not as delicious as Master Ah Wei, but they were all obedient babies who were not picky. The three of them finished them all.

Hong Luan was dumbfounded. She thought that it was too eye-catching to go to the kitchen all the time, so she specially took more. The buns and steamed buns could last for at least three meals, but in the end… they were all gone in one meal?!

And she even seemed to have the illusion that they were not full!

The three of them looked at her. Hong Luan : ” …”

They were really not full!!!

“Lord Hong Luan.” A maidservant’s report suddenly sounded outside the room. “Lord Li Ruo got someone to pass a message just now. She has already investigated the west. You don’t have to search there. You can go straight to the south later.”

“Got it,” Hong Luan said in her usual tone. “By the way, where did that woman go? Is she still in the courtyard?”

The maidservant said, “She’s no longer around. It’s said that she escaped.” “Escaped from the palace?” Hong Luan asked.

“I’m not sure,” the maidservant replied. “Does Lord Hong Luan have any other instructions?”

“That’s all. You can leave.”

“Yes.”

After the maidservant left, Hong Luan heaved a sigh of relief.

The three little black eggs looked at her with their black eyes. Although she understood that the three of them wanted to eat something else, the maidservant’s words just now reminded her that it was not safe here anymore. If Li Ruo knew that she was still locked in her room, she would definitely come and ask her what was wrong.

“Should I hand you over?” Hong Luan muttered.

The three little black eggs raised their heads with cute expressions.

Hong Luan : ‘ .

“Forget it! I’ve lost to you!” Hong Luan was defeated and said to the three of them, “Follow me later and don’t make a sound.”

Hong Luan was from the Harem, so she naturally understood the flaws in their defense. However, how did these little fellows sneak in without a sound?

Hong Luan couldn’t figure it out and only rubbed their heads emotionally. The three of them obediently let her rub them.

Hong Luan got someone to prepare a carriage for her trip. She did not ask for a coachman and sat in the outer carriage, letting the three little black eggs sit in the carriage. She whispered, “No matter what happens later, don’t come out, understand?”

The three little eggs nodded.

Hong Luan drove the carriage towards the palace gate. She didn’t really want to betray the Sorcerer Queen. She just couldn’t do anything to the innocent children. Li Ruo was right. The group of people who kidnapped His Highness Ye Yang wouldn’t hurt him, but the Sorcerer Queen would really kill these children.

What did the children do wrong?

“Who is it?” When the carriage arrived at the palace gate, it was stopped by a palace guard. Hong Luan lifted the veil on her bamboo hat and glanced at him coldly. The guard was shocked. He cupped his hands and bowed. “It’s Lord Hong Luan. I didn’t recognize you. Please forgive me!”

“I have to leave the palace,” Hong Luan said.

The guard said awkwardly, “This… The Harem ordered the sealing of the nnlnrp ‘

Hong Luan said coldly, “You also said that it was the Harem who gave the order. Am I not from the Harem?”

This lord was the Sorcerer Queen’s trusted aide. Her every move represented the Sorcerer Queen’s intentions. Although the guard was puzzled, he guessed that the Sorcerer Queen had last-minute orders, so he turned around and made way for her.

Hong Luan put down her veil and gripped the reins tightly. Just as she was about to drive the carriage out of the palace, a proud and cold voice suddenly came from behind. “Who is it? Stop right there!” It was Li Ruo!

Hong Luan tightened her grip on the reins.

The guard walked forward and said respectfully, “Lord Li Ruo, are you also leaving the palace? Lord Hong Luan is about to go out.”

“Hong Luan?” Li Ruo frowned and looked at the carriage strangely.

Hong Luan knew that she could not avoid it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath before getting off the carriage with her usual expression. She walked up to Li Ruo and held back her guilt. “How’s the search going?

Li Ruo looked at her suspiciously and said, “The woman’s hostage ran away. Her whereabouts are unknown. I’m looking for her. Didn’t I ask you to search the south? Why did you suddenly leave the palace?”

“I’m thinking… Does this matter have anything to do with Lord Wen Xu? I plan to go to the Wen Manor to take a look.” Hong Luan had no choice but to let Wen Xu take the blame. Wen Xu was the Sorcerer Queen’s biological brother, so taking the blame was most suitable for him. Anyway, the Sorcerer Queen wouldn’t really bear to blame him.

“Are you alone?” Li Ruo looked at the carriage and asked.

“I don’t want to alert the enemy,” Hong Luan said.

“You’ve learned to act on your own,” Li Ruo said sarcastically.

Hong Luan composed herself and looked into her eyes. She said seriously, “You and I are both the Sorcerer Queen’s maidservants. As an earth-rank witch, our statuses are the same. Moreover, in fact, you have just entered the earth-rank, and I am already at the peak of the earth-rank. My strength is above yours. I followed the Sorcerer Queen when I was five years old and have been by her side longer than you. Whether it’s for business or personal reasons, I don’t seem to need to listen to you.”

Li Ruo narrowed her eyes coldly.

“Continue searching. I’m going to the Wen Manor.” Hong Luan said domineeringly and turned to get into her carriage.

“Wait!” Li Ruo walked forward and grabbed her reins. She looked at the falling curtain and said, “Who’s sitting in the carriage?”

“No one is in it.” “Why aren’t you riding?” “I don’t want to ride.”

“You’re not even using a coachman?”

“I don’t want to use one!” Hong Luan said seriously.

Li Ruo curled her lips coldly and retracted her hand. Just as she was about to retreat, she suddenly walked around Hong Luan and lifted the curtain!

Hong Luan’s expression changed!

“I knew that in your carriage—” Li Ruo’s voice stopped.

Hong Luan turned around and saw that the carriage was empty!

Huh? Where were they?
