Xie Lian asked curiously: “Is there anything you can’t give me to drink?”
The queen squeezed the small jade cup, poured some out, put it on the handkerchief, wiped it on her face a few times, and said: “A few days ago, a batch of fresh fruits were donated from Taicang Mountain. I don’t like cherries, but there is a recipe that says it can be pounded into pulp and applied to the face, so I squeezed some and played with it, but it was of no use. I was about to ask someone to pour it. How can it be used for people to drink?”
Xie Lian smiled after hearing this, but suddenly remembered what happened yesterday.Mu Qing’s mother couldn’t eat cherries a few times a year. When Mu Qing picked cherries on Tai Cang Mountain, she still had to be poked and poked. She was a little bit emotional. She was afraid that Mu Qing would feel uncomfortable after hearing this, so she changed the subject with a smile and said, “Is there anything you can give me to eat?”
The queen smiled and said: “What you said, outsiders thought I was starving you. In fact, you have been picky since you were a child, and I have not made you fat. You have been so thin after going up the mountain for so long. You can eat whatever mother tells you to eat today. You are not allowed to be picky.”
The mother and son talked for a while, and the queen asked about the accident on Ji Tianyou. She was quite worried: “According to the advice of the imperial master, this matter seems to be quite serious. I don’t know what to do? Will you be punished?”
Before Xie Lian could answer, Qi Rong rushed to say: “Humph, this is not the fault of the prince’s cousin, and it is not him who fell from the city wall. Even if he has to be punished, he should be punished.”
Xie Lian thought to himself: “What is a little immortal?” Before he could correct Qi Rong, the queen had already laughed.It happened that she noticed the two people outside the hall and said, “Who is the child next to Fengxin? This is the first time I see someone beside you.”
So, Xie Lian happily said: “This is admiration. Yesterday it was him who played the devil on stage.”
Hearing this, Qi Rong’s eyebrows raised slightly.The queen said: “Huh? Let him come up and have a look. Feng Xin, please come in too.”
So, Feng Xin and Mu Qing came into the palace and half-knelt in front of the queen.The queen looked at him admiringly for a while and said to Xie Lian: “I saw him fighting well yesterday. He is actually a decent boy. Looking at his face, he looks like a gentle prime minister. I didn’t expect that when he used the knife, it was so fierce.”
Xie Lian smiled: “Really? I also think he is very good.”
At this time, Qi Rong said coolly: “Oh? Was that the monster yesterday?”
When Xie Lian heard this, he knew something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment, Qi Rong suddenly burst into anger, grabbed the jade cup on the small table, threw it on Mu Qing’s head, and said: “This is for you!”
Xie Lian’s quick eyes and hands almost knocked off his hand, and then he didn’t let him splash on Mu Qing’s face. He picked him up and said: “Qi Rong, what are you doing!”
Qi Rong lifted it up for him, still showing his teeth and claws, and said: “Cousin, I’m here to help you teach this restless servant a lesson! Yesterday, when you didn’t come, he was very happy to act alone, and he kept showing off. What the hell, do you think you are the protagonist of the Tianjie Tour? You still want to shake things up!”
The queen was simply stunned and said: “Rong, you… what are you doing?” The admiration was not poured on his head, but on his clothes. However, because the queen did not ask him to get up, he still knelt on the ground, his face was so pale and gloomy.Xie Lian handed Qi Rong to Feng Xin and said, “Don’t let him hit anyone.” Feng Xin restrained Qi Rong with one hand, but Qi Rong kicked and hit him, and spat: “Who are you? You are so bold, and you dare to touch me with your hands!”
Xie Lian had a headache and said: “Qi Rong, you have been acting more and more nonsense recently!” Then he said to the queen: “Mother, I forgot to tell you something. Please collect his golden car.”
Qi Rong was shocked and shouted: “No, no! Why! That’s my birthday gift from my aunt!”
Xie Lian said: “You have to accept everything. We almost had an accident on the street just now. It’s better not to touch it until you can’t drive properly.”
The queen said “Ah” and said: “Almost caused trouble? What happened?”
Xie Lian then recounted Qi Rong’s driving behavior. Qi Rong’s eyes turned red with anger and said: “My cousin, the prince, wronged me! I clearly didn’t hit anyone!”
Xie Lian was dumbfounded and said: “That’s because someone grabbed you!”
Qi Rong suddenly broke free from Xie Lian’s hand and ran out of Qifeng Palace angrily. The queen shouted several times and did not come back, so she had no choice but to say: “I will go and tell him tomorrow about taking the car. Alas, this child has wanted a car for a long time. He celebrated his birthday a few days ago. I saw that he really wanted it, so I gave it to him. Who would have known that this would happen? If I had known I would not have given it away.”
Thanks for the pity: “Why does he have to have a car?”
The queen said: “That way I can go to Taicang Mountain at any time and take you back to the palace.”
Thinking that he was kind to her after all, she felt grateful and silent.After a moment, he said: “You’d better find him a teacher and calm him down. It won’t work if he continues like this.”
The queen sighed: “How could any teacher cure him? He has always only listened to your words. Is it possible that you want him to go up the mountain with you to cultivate his moral character? The national teacher refuses to accept him as a disciple.”
Xie Lian thought it was funny and scary just thinking about it. He shook his head and said, “If Qi Rong’s temperament were to enter Huangji Temple, I’m afraid the entire Tai Cang Mountain would be restless.”
Both mother and son were troubled by this problem and couldn’t think of a way, so they put it aside for the time being.In the evening, Xie Lian finished meeting his parents, had a short talk, and then left the palace.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is obsessed with practicing Taoism. Ever since he went to Taicang Mountain and entered Huangji Temple, he has been spending less time with his parents and more away from them.In this regard, the king didn’t say much, but the queen was always reluctant to leave.After leaving the palace, Xie Lian walked around the imperial city casually. By the way, he accompanied Mu Qing back home as he said yesterday.
Rich families and slums are often separated by an alley.Mu Qing’s original home was nestled in a dark alley in the most prosperous part of the imperial city.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the entrance of the alley, five or six ragged children gathered around them and said one after another: “Brother. Brother is back!”
Xie Lian was slightly surprised at first, why he called a stranger his brother when he saw him, but then he discovered that the “brother” these children called was not him, but Mu Qing.The child called him sweetly, but Mu Qing ignored him and said, “Not this time. Don’t scream.”
Although his face was expressionless, his tone was not really cold.After saying that, he said to Xie Lian: “Your Highness, don’t mind, these are children from the neighborhood.” The group of children were obviously familiar with him. They were used to playing around and were not afraid of him at all. They surrounded them with smiles and stretched out their dirty little hands to ask for food from Mu Qing.In the end, Mu Qing took a bunch of ruby-like cherries from the bag and divided them among them.
Seeing this, Feng Xin was quite surprised, and seemed to think it was strange for Mu Qing to do such a thing.It’s no wonder, after all, Mu Qing has a pretty face that looks extremely cold, the kind who would hold onto her food even if passers-by starve to death in front of her.Xie Lian was not surprised.Originally, he wanted to find something to give to these children, but he didn’t always carry candies with him. He asked Feng Xin to give him some money directly, and it seemed like he was sending away beggars, but he finally felt it was inappropriate.Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden loud noise, a long series of horses neighing, and a scream coming from the street.
Several people looked stern and thanked Lian for rushing out of the alley.On both sides of the street, people were swaying, people were tumbling, pedestrians were running away, and red apples and yellow pears were rolling all over the ground.Before I could see what was going on, I heard a young man laughing wildly: “Get out of the way, get out of the way, everyone! If you don’t keep an eye on me, I won’t care if you get trampled to death!”
Feng Xin cursed and said, “It’s Qi Rong again!”
Sure enough, Qi Rong was standing on his gorgeous golden car, with a sinister look on his face, raising his whip and whipping it around, making the white horse neigh.Thanks for the pity: “Stop him!”
The golden chariot whizzed past them, and the wind channel said, “Yes!” Then he rushed forward.Xie Lian was about to check on the pedestrians and stalls knocked over by Qi Rong’s car to check if anyone was injured, but suddenly he felt something was wrong.Looking back suddenly, I saw a long, thick hemp rope trailing behind the tall golden car.At the end of the rope was a sack.There seemed to be something in the sack, and it was still struggling inside.Apparently, he was pretending to be someone else.
For a moment, Xie Lian felt horrified.The next moment, he jumped forward and rushed forward.
The white horse was whipped by Qi Rong until it ran wildly, and the wheels of the carriage were also spinning. Feng Xin went to stop the horse in front, but he might not be able to stop it for a while.Xie Lian caught up with the carriage in three steps, unsheathed his long sword, and swung it down.The hemp rope was cut off immediately, and the sack fell to the ground, rolled twice, and stopped moving.
Xie Lian leaned over to take a look.This sack had been dragged on the ground for an unknown length of time. It was worn to pieces, extremely dirty, and stained with blood, as if it were a body bag.With another strike of his sword, he cut off the rope that tied the mouth of the sack, opened it, and took a quick look. Sure enough, there was a person inside.And, it’s a toddler!
Thank you for tearing open the entire sack.The young child huddled up in a ball inside, holding his head tightly. The dirty clothes were covered with either footprints that were too big for him or blood. His hair was also tangled with blood and messy. He had obviously been beaten up, and he was almost unrecognizable.Judging from his body shape, he was only seven or eight years old. He was extremely small. He was shaking so much that it seemed as if a layer of his skin had been peeled off. I really don’t know how he survived after being beaten and dragged to the floor like this.
Xie Lian immediately probed his neck with his hand and found that the pulse was not weak. He breathed a sigh of relief and immediately hugged the little body. When he turned around, he shouted angrily: “Feng Xin! Stop Qi Rong!!!”
He really never thought that such a thing could happen in Xianle Kingdom.In broad daylight, on the street, a nobleman put a living person in a sack and dragged him behind a carriage!If he hadn’t seen and stopped him, wouldn’t this little kid be dragged to death today?!
Far ahead, there were bursts of neighing and angry roars. After a moment, Feng Xin shouted: “Stop!”
Xie Lian took a few steps to catch up, just in time to catch up with Qi Rong’s scream and angrily said: “You are such a courageous servant, how dare you hurt me, who gave you the courage?!”
It turned out that Feng Xin couldn’t stop him, so he went to grab the horse’s reins.Of course, Qi Rong didn’t give it to him. He snatched it back and forth, but Feng Xin accidentally bumped into him and pushed him out of the carriage.He fell to the ground and rolled a few times, scratching his knee. Seeing the onlookers surrounding him, he felt angry and embarrassed.Xie Lian said: “I gave it to him!”
Qi Rong opened his mouth and said, “Cousin Prince!”
Xie Lian said angrily: “Look what you are doing! Qi Rong, I am really…”
At this time, he suddenly felt that the toddler in his arms shrank, seemed to slowly loosen the hand holding his head, and was peeking at him from his elbow.
Xie Lian immediately restrained his anger, lowered his head and said softly: “How do you feel? Is there any particular pain?”
The toddler was actually still awake, not fainting from pain or stunned, and shook his head.Xie Lian saw that the exposed half of his face was dripping with blood, and wanted to see if he had hurt his head. Unexpectedly, the child tightly covered the other half of his face, refusing to show it to him.
