Chapter 1053 “Zhong Yu’s Scheme (1)”
“Yes Highness, I will have the maids ready the rooms for you. Please come with me first.” Zhang Yu signals the old man behind himself while he himself led the two boys away for the temporary guest rooms.
The old man naturally knew what that look meant. After a moment of musing, he immediately walked in the opposite direction to carry out the plan.
“Uncle Wolf.” Bai Xiachen suddenly stopped, “When will my father come?”
This careless and unthoughtful question actually scared the daylights out of Zhong Yu. The young man thought he’s been discovered so he began to tense up. However, he quickly realizes its his own guilt that’s playing here and his rattled nerves soon settled down.
“I’ll send someone to inform the king right away. I believe it won’t be more than a few days before he comes.”
Grinning with a huge smile at the news: “Then that’s great. I hope Uncle Wolf isn’t trying to deceive me just because I’m a child, otherwise my mother will be very angry. Just so you know, even my baddie father will get scared if she’s like that.”
It’s unsure why but the little guy’s words have had the direct effect of make Zhang Yu fall into a panic. He’s sure that his lie has worked, and that the prince didn’t suspect a thing. Yet why? Why does he have such an ominous feeling?
Awkwardly laughing like he’s trying to shirk off the unease, the young wolf attempts to move the topic along: “Don’t worry Prince, no one here will dare to or be able to deceive you….”
“I’d still like to trust Uncle Wolf.” The boy’s returning smile seemed very innocent and very true, “Uncle, I’m starting to feel tired so don’t let anyone come disturb me later when I’m resting.”
“Oh course Your Highness.” Complying by lowering his head, one only needs to take a peek to discover that insidious light in those eyes of this wolfing.
Done with that, Bai Xiachen turns back to the room in question. He didn’t make up the part about wanting to rest, so when he pushed open the door, the first thing he did was to close it and get on the bed. With the blanket reaching all the way to his face, the kid appeared troubled with worry: “Will Mother find out since I lost the beaconing charm? She must know if Baddie Father knows. Oh what to do, Mother must be so worried about me. I better be good and wait for Baddie Father to come pick me up so I can go back as soon as possible.”

I miss Mother’s scent so much, I want to go back….
“No!” Shaking his little head like he’s trying to throw away the thought, “I’m not three anymore, I must learn to be independent. Only by being an adult then can I protect Mother.”
It’s then the door to the room was suddenly pushed open and in came a maid. The girl carried a tray with a bowl of soup that she placed on the table. “Prince, I’ve come to bring you soup. It’s the young lord’s instruction because he’s worried about you being hungry. Pleas enjoy while its hot.”
Although Bai Xiachen did give explicit instruction not to be disturbed, but he’s a good child. As per Bai Yan’s teaching, those who offer kindness must be returned with kindness, hence his lovely smile at the servant girl.
“Thank you, sister.” The maid’s face went red from blushing. She’s been thoroughly won over and germinated by the kid’s adorableness so it took her a good while to come back to reality.
Moments later when he was left alone again, Bai Xiachen didn’t hesitate and quickly came before the table to get his first whiff of the delicious smelling liquid. However, right as the drool was coming out, his nose immediately picked up another scent int here and that caused his face to sink into a scowl.
