Chapter 1303: The Emperor Is Pregnant 17
He reached out and took one to eat.
The taste wasn’t bad.
While chewing on the candy, he fastened the wallet tightly, tossed it towards the sky, and caught it.
"Little Su, this candy is good, I’ll take it."
Su Yan nodded.
"Okay."
Her attention wasn’t on the candy, she didn’t even glance at the wallet.
She just sat by the bed, lost in thought, not fully coming back to her senses.
Wang Lin lifted the wallet.
"Thanks. Hurry and go eat, remember to swap shifts with me later."
After saying that, Wang Lin left with the wallet.
Thirty minutes later.
Su Yan snapped out of her thoughts.
She stood up, ready to go eat.
As she walked out, closing the door properly...
Three seconds later, she pushed the door open again.
Looking up, she glanced at the cabinet.
The wallet was gone...
The wallet wasn’t important.
The candy in the wallet wasn’t important either.
What mattered was the string of Jade Buddha Beads inside the wallet.
She blinked.
The wallet... was with Wang Lin.
By this time he was still on duty.
Understanding the situation, Su Yan went to find Wang Lin to get the wallet back.
On the other side.
In the pavilion, Situ Xiu returned to the hall for a meal.
As he walked back, he wondered why the little guard was angry.
Could it be that he’s fed up with cracking too many walnuts?
With a smile on his lips, he murmured,
"Really getting more and more temperamental."
He thought, during the meal, he would call her over to see if she was still angry.
If she was still upset, then in the future, he wouldn’t let her crack walnuts anymore.
Thinking of this, the smile on his lips widened, softening the authoritative aura about him.
Chi Xing saw all of this,
but said nothing.
As they reached the hall and were about to step onto the steps,
a familiar milky smell wafted past him.
He paused.
He looked at the guard exuding that milky scent.
Wang Lin didn’t expect the Prince to suddenly stop and keep looking at him.
Wang Lin immediately cupped his fists in respect,
"Your Highness."
Situ Xiu said nothing.
He just looked him up and down.
Suddenly, the wallet tied around the guard’s waist caught his attention.
It looked familiar.
But upon closer inspection, there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.
After a moment, he averted his gaze and continued into the hall.
Until he reached the third step.
His steps halted.
Chi Xing, standing nearby, could clearly sense that something was off with his master’s demeanor.
Situ Xiu turned around.
He walked back to Wang Lin.
Reaching out, he grabbed the wallet.
Holding it in his hand, it felt quite heavy.
His grip was so forceful that some candy spilled out.
He glanced up.
"Who gave this to you?"
Wang Lin’s body stiffened, not understanding why the Prince asked that, he quickly replied,
"Your Highness, it was Guard Song."
Situ Xiu grasped the wallet tightly, his fingertips turning white.
Yet his smile only grew wider.
"Oh?"
A movement in his throat as he uttered this.
Perhaps too much candy spilled out, revealing a bead of vibrant green jade.
He reached out, took it out.
It was the Jade Buddha Beads he used to play with.
The moment he took it out of the wallet, Wang Lin immediately knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, I didn’t know such a valuable thing was in the wallet."
He held the Buddha Beads tightly in his hand.
His eyelids lowered.
"Bring Guard Song to me."
His voice was steady, with a smile still on his face.
But no matter how it sounded, it carried a sinister tone.
Just as Su Yan was about to retrieve the wallet...
Chi Xing approached her.
His voice was cold,
"Guard Song, the Prince wants to see you."
