Chapter 1, The Modest Gentleman (3)

Dai Shan's heart was slightly at ease, as he turned to look at Huang Taiji, his gaze carrying a hint of sharpness and suspicion

All was silent, with only the faint crackling sound of pine resin burning. Daisan gazed at the tear-streaked face of the sleeping figure in his dreams, unable to resist the urge to reach out and wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes

Hong Taiji grasped Daisan's arm, his small face slightly raised, his voice lowered to a near whisper: "Second Brother..." The corners of his mouth curled up, a smile gracing his face, and his expression appeared affectionate, yet Daisan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked on.

The hand moved slightly, and the arm was pulled apart by a great force

But... I know that Father loves me the most. If I can achieve something, Father will surely be pleased rather than angry. But... Second Brother." He showed a face of fear, looking around, his voice lowered again. He stood on tiptoe, leaned close to Daisan's chest, and whispered, "What if Father enters the city and finds that we are not in the city?"

Second brother, have you and second sister-in-law discussed what name to give the child

Dai Shan knows that although he is a cousin of Bu Xi Ya Ma La, he has been raised and cared for by her since birth, and their bond is deeper than that of a mother and son. He usually enjoys being by her side the most and dislikes it when other siblings are around, as it dilutes their affection. Xiao Ba has no full-blooded siblings, which is why he values this cousin greatly.

Dai Shan appeared dazed, his gaze gradually becoming unfocused

Dai Shan felt a jolt in his chest, and the metallic taste of blood at the back of his throat could no longer be suppressed, resulting in a violent eruption of vomit.

Perhaps exhausted from the ordeal, Buxiyamala fell into a deep sleep after not crying for long. Daisan ordered someone to remove the branch that had jammed the axle, and after making a simple repair to the carriage, he gently placed the woman back inside the compartment.

Yue Tuo ... ... Yue Tuo

"Second Brother, come here." Hong Taiji said with a smile, waving his hand.

Hong Taiji stared back at his second brother without any fear, pouting his lips slightly, displaying a childlike demeanor of willfulness and temper.

Dai Shan staggered, nearly falling, and reached out to support himself against a large tree, barely managing to steady his form and stand upright. His face, pale from excessive blood loss, appeared particularly ghastly under the glow of the flames. His appearance, originally refined and gentle, now resembled that of a fierce ghost that had just crawled out from the underworld.

Second brother

The crisp laughter of Emperor Taiji was particularly bright in the silent night, like the scorching sun about to burst forth: "Second brother, if it is a little prince, how about naming him Yuetuo? This name is my favorite, and I have already thought it through. When I have a son in the future, I will name him Yuetuo..."

Huang Taiji opened his mouth to speak, but caught a glimpse of his cousin still sorrowfully crying at the corner of his eye. His lips moved slightly, yet he ultimately remained silent

Emperor Taiji still wore a radiant smile, showing no signs of discomfort. Dai Shan took a deep breath, feeling that the wound which had already become numb was now subtly throbbing again.

Second Brother! With a slight tug at the hem of his garment, Daisan lowered his head and discovered that Huang Taiji had already circled to stand in front of him. The upturned face revealed a hint of fear. "If Father finds out that I secretly followed Hada, will he be very angry?"

Dai Shan raised an eyebrow, inquiring with his gaze

Upon considering this, Dai Shan could not help but soften his expression, offering a warm smile to his younger brother

Those who are unwilling to think, and those matters they are reluctant to touch, are all stirred up one by one in that crisp whispering sound

Dai Shan felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and his body instinctively turned to look at the carriage. The carriage was quiet, and in the dim light, he could still hear the intoxicating sound of peaceful breathing in his ears.

Dai Shan felt a tightness in his chest, his breath obstructed, and for a moment he was at a loss for words. He simply placed his hand on the top of his head, gently stroking it, smiling and shaking his head.

Dai Shan subtly turned his body, using the shadow of the tree to avoid the light, and brushed the back of his hand across the corner of his lips, discreetly wiping away the bloodstain.

Child, what child

Hong Taiji suddenly turned around, his face beaming with an even brighter smile, exuding innocence and excitement as he said: "Second brother, is second sister-in-law about to give birth? Tell me, when we return to Fei A La, will I be able to meet my little nephew?"

Who is Yue Tuo

A wave of fishy taste surged in his throat, a sharp pain pierced through his chest, and his complexion, already pale, began to take on a bluish hue

Dai Shan left the carriage and followed behind Huang Taiji for more than ten steps
