Seeing this, Xie Lian felt that he was funny and pitiful for no reason, and asked: “Can this child’s injuries be recovered?”
An imperial doctor re-wrapped layers of bandages on the young child’s head and said, “It must be fine.”
Xie Lian was relieved, nodded, and said, “Thank you for your work.”
At this time, someone from the palace announced that His Majesty the King and the Queen were coming.All the imperial doctors immediately stood up and greeted him out to salute.Xie Lian put the young child on the bed and said: “Lie down and rest first.” Thinking about it, this child is afraid of strangers. The crowd might scare him soon, so he lowered the bedside curtain and then got up.
A group of attendants and palace attendants walked into the palace with the king and queen in their arms.The queen’s face turned pale and she said, “Why did the emperor return in such a hurry after leaving the palace? But what kind of injury did he suffer outside?”
Xie Lian said: “Mom, please don’t worry, I am not injured. Others are injured.”
At this time, Qi Rong shouted from the corner: “Aunt, save me!”
The queen then realized that Qi Rong was being held tightly by Feng Xin and was being held aside, and she couldn’t help being surprised.She was so focused on whether her son was okay that she didn’t pay attention to anything else. When she saw Fang, she asked, “What’s going on with Rong’er?”
The king frowned and said, “Feng Xin, why are you holding the Little Mirror King like a prisoner?”
When His Majesty arrived, Feng Xin should have saluted immediately like Mu Qing and others, but because he was holding Qi Rong, he could not get away, so the situation was slightly embarrassing.Thanks for the pity: “I asked him to take it.”
Qi Rong held her right hand and said, “Aunt, my arm is broken.”
Before the queen had time to feel distressed, Xie Lian said sternly: “You broke an arm, but what about the child inside?”
The king asked: “What child?”
Xie Lian said: “A ten-year-old child. He has no strength to tie a chicken, and he is originally weak. Qi Rong sent his men to beat him. If the child hadn’t been lucky, he would have been killed on the spot, and he would have been beaten to death!”
Qi Rong seemed to have heard some joke, and opened his eyes and said: “A ten-year-old child, with no strength to tie a chicken? A weak body? Cousin, you don’t know how ferocious, savage, and powerful this little immortal is. He is just pretending to be pitiful in front of you. I called five or six people, but I couldn’t catch the kid. I beat him, kicked him, and bit him with my teeth, making him bloody. If he hadn’t angered me, why would I have dragged him behind the carriage and ran away?”
Hearing this, the faces of the king and the queen changed.Xie Lian took a deep breath and said: “Shut up! Are the things you did glorious?”
It’s not like Qi Rong doesn’t like to show off, so how can the people in the imperial city not see him in such an arrogant manner?After seeing it, is there any reason not to talk about it after dinner?
The king glanced at the queen, and said with a slightly green face: “Take King Xiaojing down, and let the imperial doctor heal his arm. The golden car will be taken back, and he will be detained for a month to think about his mistakes. He will not be released for a month.”
The attendant behind him immediately responded and stepped forward to take him, and Feng Xin let go.Qi Rong, however, didn’t care anymore. He snorted and said, “Just take it. I knew it would be my last run today.”
Hearing that he showed no remorse, the Queen sighed.Xie Lian said: “It seems that if he is just grounded for a month, he will probably do it again next time and will need to be strictly disciplined.”
Qi Rong was startled and said angrily: “Cousin Prince, you…” Then he rolled his eyes and said: “Okay. Then I will admit that I am wrong in this matter. No matter what your majesty punishes me, Qi Rong will never shirk it.”
In the next sentence, he changed the topic and said: “But shouldn’t the prince’s cousin’s men also be punished? Uncle and aunt, my arm was broken by this Feng Xin!”
Upon hearing this, the king immediately looked at Feng Xin, with a look of shock and anger on his face.Feng Xin lowered his head slightly, while Mu Qing moved two steps to the side unnoticeably.
The king said coldly: “Feng Xin, you are the attendant of His Highness the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince does treat you very well. Could it be that you have forgotten your identity and become arrogant because of this? Your duty is to serve His Highness, is this how you serve him? You dare to attack His Highness the Crown Prince’s cousin, King Xiaojing.”
Feng Xin heard this and was ready to kneel down.Xie Lian said: “There is no need to kneel down.”
Feng Xin No. 1 must have listened to Xie Lian. Even if His Majesty spoke, he would only give priority to His Majesty’s orders, so he immediately stopped kneeling.Seeing this, the king’s expression became even more unhappy.
Xie Lian said: “It is true that Feng Xin broke Qi Rong’s arm, but the reason was to protect the Lord. Moreover, Qi Rong committed the crime first, and he was not wrong. Why should he kneel down?”
The Lord said: “No matter what his reason is, he has offended King Xiao Jing. There are differences between masters and servants, and there are distinctions between superior and inferior. Don’t say that the lonely king asked him to kneel down. Even if the lonely king immediately reprimanded him with a hundred sticks, there would be nothing wrong.”
Although the king is not as friendly to Qi Rong as the queen, after all, Qi Rong is also a member of the royal family and cannot be violated.Qi Rong knew this very well. He squinted and said, “There is no need for the stick punishment. After all, he is the prince’s cousin, and I don’t want to embarrass him too much. I only want him to break his own arm, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I won’t hold anything accountable.”
The king nodded slowly, seeming to think that this move was feasible.Xie Lian said: “If you want to punish Feng Xin, punish me first. He is my attendant. Firstly, he has done nothing wrong. Secondly, even if he does, he obeys my orders. I will accept it on his behalf.”
Hearing what he said, anger flashed on the king’s face.
Most fathers and sons in the world will go through such changes.When his son was young, he would regard his father as the greatest hero in the world, his role model, and he would admire him extremely.And when the son reaches a certain age, he will gradually begin to doubt everything about his father, and even gradually become disgusted with it, until both parties refuse to recognize each other.
Xie Lian’s fundamental purpose in going to Taicang Mountain to cultivate himself was, of course, because practicing martial arts and seeking Taoism was what his heart wanted.However, in fact, he is not obsessed with where to seek or with what identity.
The so-called “Tao” means “people walk on the road”.As long as a person is dedicated to the Tao, he can practice wherever he goes. It does not have to be a formality, and it does not have to be limited to going up a mountain to observe.Another reason why Xie Lian insisted on going up the mountain was because he felt that he really couldn’t talk to his father.
As the crown prince of Xianle, as soon as Xie Lian was born, the head of Xianle Kingdom neatly plotted the path for him in this life.It was okay when I was a child. I was a small person with no worries. Xie Lian only needed his parents to accompany him to build a gold-leaf palace and play around.As he gets older, Xie Lian realizes more and more that his father is not only a father, he is also a country leader, and many of their ideas and practices cannot be reconciled.For example, the so-called royal majesty is one of the things Xie Lian dislikes the most.
Since you can’t get along, it’s better to stay away.Every time he returned to the palace, he mostly talked happily with his mother, but never confided in his father.The two sides rarely took the initiative to talk to each other, and every time the queen was the mediator.
The father and son had been in a stalemate for several months. At this time, Xie Lian persisted and refused to give in. The king said: “Okay, then you can take it for him. It depends on whether you can do it or not!”
At this time, Feng Xin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his left hand and chopped it down on his right arm.There was a “哢哓” sound, and everyone was startled. They followed the sound and saw that his right arm, like Qi Rong, was hanging down softly.Xie Lian was shocked and angry, and said: “Feng Xin!”
Feng Xin was sweating slightly on his forehead. Without saying a word, he knelt down to Qi Rong and kowtowed three times. Xie Lian didn’t stop him.Qi Rong was quite proud and laughed and said: “Okay, I will reluctantly forgive you. Wouldn’t it be better to do this earlier?”
Although his arm was also broken, he felt refreshed when he left, as if he had won a battle.Feng Xin was still kneeling on the ground, looking at this scene with admiration, his expression was gray, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.Xie Lian turned to his father and said angrily: “You!…”
Feng Xin grabbed him with his left hand and said: “Your Highness!”
The queen also took her arm around him.Xie Lian knew that Feng Xin followed him when he was fourteen years old and was well treated by the queen. He couldn’t bear to see his father and son argue and make the queen sad, so that’s why.If he had an attack now, it would be a waste of all his willpower, so he had no choice but to endure it, but his heart was already burning with anger.The king’s expression softened slightly, and he went out with a calm expression.
The queen has always liked Fengxin and sighed: “Oh, my good boy, I have wronged you.”
Feng Chuang: “Queen, please don’t say that, it’s just your duty.”
After hearing this, Mu Qing’s eyes flickered and she sneered silently.Xie Lian closed his eyes and said: “Mother, if you really can’t control Qi Rong, just lock him up.”
The queen sighed, nodded, shook her head, and left.
Xie Lian invited an imperial doctor to treat Feng Chuang’s right hand and said, “Feng Xin, I’m sorry.”
As soon as the people beside him left, Feng Xin immediately changed his face and sneered: “What’s the matter? If I dare to hit him, am I still afraid of his revenge?” After a pause, he persuaded: “Your Highness, it is right for you to teach Qi Rong a lesson, but it is better not to get angry with His Majesty. Your Majesty is the head of the country and an elder figure, and he thinks differently from us. When your father and son quarreled, the Queen looked unhappy. She was also in trouble.”
How could Xie Lian not know that her mother was in trouble?
Qi Rong’s mother is the queen’s sister. They have a deep love for each other. She was ignorant when she was young, but she had a new love. She pursued freedom wholeheartedly, listened to sweet words, ruined the arranged marriage, and eloped with a guard in the palace.Unexpectedly, after marrying an inhumane and spending half a year in a doghouse-like house, the guard revealed his true nature and indulged in debauchery. After Qi Rong was born, he even beat and kicked his wife.Finally, mother and son couldn’t bear it any longer. When Qi Rong was five years old, she took her child home in dejection.Because he had become a nobleman, he stayed behind closed doors and was depressed all his life. He only loved his only son.
During a turmoil, Qi Rong’s mother was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow while trying to save the queen. Before she died, she entrusted Qi Rong to Xie Lian’s mother.
The queen should do her best.However, other people’s sons are always very difficult.It is not easy to control. If you control too much, it will be harsh, as if you are being harshly treated. Thinking of friendship, you can’t bear it. It is also difficult to ignore. If you control too little, it will become the current virtue. If you don’t restrain it, it will only get worse in the future.The queen was often puzzled. It was clear that her methods of taking care of Xie Lian and Qi Rong were almost the same, but why were the children they raised so different in temperament?
At this time, Xie Lian suddenly remembered that there was a child lying on the bed in the house.He lifted up the curtain and saw that the child sat up again at some point and seemed to be looking out from the gap.Thanks for lifting the curtain, he lay down obediently again.Xie Lian said: “Did the quarrel outside scare you? Don’t worry, it’s none of your business.”
An imperial doctor said: “Your Highness, this child’s injury has been treated and he only needs to rest.”
Xie Lian nodded and said, “Thank you.”
He bent down again and asked the young child: “Where is your home? Shall I take you back?”
The young boy shook his head and said, “No home.”
Feng Trust came up relying on his suspended arm and said: “You don’t have a home? Are you really a little beggar?”
Seeing as the child is thin and small, and his clothes are dirty, it is not impossible.If he has no home to return to, he cannot be left in the palace or on the street.Xie Lian thought for a while and said: “In that case, let’s take him back to Taicang Mountain with me first.”
Unexpectedly, Mu Qing suddenly said: “He lied.”
The author has something to say: Asking for leave on the 20th:
Some readers may not be clear. Let me explain. On the night of the 16th, someone accused me on Weibo of plagiarizing my last article “The Patriarch of the Demonic Path” and made a very ridiculous color palette.In order to clarify this matter these past few days, I have been working on the reverse color palette. The workload is very large. I finished the work today and am exhausted. I have to take a day off to take a rest. I’m sorry!
Girls who want to know the ins and outs can check my Weibo pin @ Moxiang Tongshou MXTX.
The input method that comes with the system is amazing. When I type “的”, eight times out of ten, it automatically changes it to “道” for me…
