    Chapter Index

    Xie Ren wondered, “What can’t you give me to drink?”

    The queen pinched the small jade cup, poured out a little pressed on the pad, to the face of the point wiped a few times, said: “a few days ago on the Tai Cang Mountain to offer in a batch of fresh fruits, I do not love to eat cherries, but there is a recipe that can be pounded pulp on the face, so squeezed a little to get some fun, nothing to use, and is ready to ask people to pour, which can be given to people to drink?”

    Xie Ren listened to smile, but suddenly remembered yesterday. Mu love’s mother can not eat a few times a year cherries, Mu love in the Taicang Mountain picking a cherry but also be poked and prodded, it is inevitable that some of the feelings, for fear that Mu love heard the bad, then smiled and changed the subject, said: “What is that can give me to eat?”

    Empress laughed: “You say this, teach outsiders to listen to think that I’m starving you, in fact, is that you have been picky since you were a child, I can not raise fat. On the mountain so long thin into this, today mother told you to eat what you eat, do not pick and choose.”

    Mother and son said for a while, the Empress asked about the festival tour on the accident, rather worried: “Listen to the intention of the master of the country, this seems to be quite big, I do not know how to be good? You will be punished?”

    Before Xie Ren could answer, Qi Rong had already grabbed the opportunity to say, “Hmph, this is not the fault of the crown prince’s cousin, and he wasn’t the one who fell off the city wall. Even if you want to punish, you should also punish that little undead.”

    Xie Ren thought to himself, “What’s a little immortal.” Before he could correct Chi Rong, the Empress had already laughed out loud. Coincidentally at this time, she noticed the duo outside the hall and said, “Who is that child next to Feng Xin? It’s the first time I’ve seen an extra person beside you.”

    So, Xie Ren readily said, “This is Mu Qing, he was the one who played the demon on stage yesterday.”

    At those words, Chi Rong’s eyebrows rose slightly. The Empress then said, “Huh? Let him come up and take a look. Feng Xin also come in.”

    So, Feng Xin and Mu情 came into the hall, half kneeling in front of the Empress. The Empress scrutinized Mu情 for a while, and said to Xie Ren: “I saw him fight well yesterday, but a decent child, look at this face, living like a scholarly prime minister, I did not expect to use the knife, the momentum of that kind of ferocity.”

    Xie Ren guffawed, “Right? I think he’s great too.”

    At this time, Chi Rong said coolly, “Oh? Was that demon yesterday him?”

    When Xie Ren heard this, he knew that it was not good, and sure enough, the next moment, Qi Rong suddenly stormed up, snatched the jade cup on the small table, and splashed it on Mu Xiang’s head, saying, “This is a reward for you!”

    Xie Ren’s quick eyes and hands knocked down his hand, which didn’t let him splash Mu Xiang’s face, and picked him up, saying, “Chi Rong, what are you doing!”

    Chi Rong lifted him up, still flailing, and said, ”Cousin, I’m helping you teach this restless subordinate a lesson! Yesterday, when you didn’t come, he was acting all by himself, making a show of himself. What kind of a thing thinks he’s the main character of the Heavenly Sacrifice Tour? He wants to go over the top!”

    The queen simply stayed, said, “Yung ah, you …… what are you doing?” Mu love was not poured on his head, but was poured on his clothes, but because the Empress did not tell him to get up, he was still kneeling on the ground, his face white and gloomy. Xie Ren 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 punched him, spitting, “What are you, such a big dog’s guts, and you dare to just touch me with your hand!”

    Xie Ren had a headache and said, “Qi Rong, you’re getting more and more rambunctious lately!” He also said to the Empress, “Mother, I forgot to mention something, you’ve taken away his golden carriage.”

    Chi Rong was shocked and exclaimed, “Don’t don’t don’t! By what right! That’s a birthday gift from auntie!”

    Xie Ren said, “It’s whatever you have to collect. Fang nearly made a mess on the street, so don’t touch it until you can’t drive properly.”

    The Empress let out an “ah” and said, “Almost caused a problem? What kind of trouble?”

    Xie Ren then relayed Qi Rong’s driving frenzy, and Qi Rong was so angry that his eyes reddened as he said, “Cousin Prince has wronged me! I clearly didn’t hit anyone!”

    Xie Ren crowed and said, “That’s because someone yanked on you!”

    Qi Rong all of a sudden from Xie Ren’s hands to break out, gasping and running out of the Qifeng Palace, the Empress shouted several times and did not come back, so I can only helplessly said: “I’ll go back tomorrow to talk to him to collect the matter of the car it. Alas, this child for a long time want a car, some days ago his birthday, I see him really want to tight, then sent him, who knows will be like this? Who knew it would be like this? If I had known, I wouldn’t have sent it.”

    Xie Ren said, “Why does he have to have a car?”

    The Empress said, “It says that this will enable you to go to Tai Cang Mountain at any time and fetch you back to the palace.”

    Thinking that he ultimately meant well for himself, Xie Ren was silent. A moment later, he said, “You’d better find a teacher for him, and properly collect his temperament, if it continues like this, it will never work.”

    The Empress sighed: ”Where is the teacher who can cure him? He has always only listened to you, so it is hard to think that he should go up to the mountains with you to cultivate his body and mind? The State Master is dead set against taking him as a disciple again.”

    Xie Ren felt funny and scary even thinking about it, shook his head and said, “Chi Rong that nature, if she were to enter the Imperial Extremity View, I’m afraid the entire Taicang Mountain would be in a state of unrest.”

    Mother and son both have a headache on this issue, can’t think of a way, put it aside for the time being. In the evening, Xie Ren finished meeting his parents, and after a short chat, he had to leave the palace.

    Everyone knows, His Royal Highness is obsessed with cultivation, since the Tai Cang Mountain into the Imperial Temple, and parents always get together less and more. In this regard, the lord of the country is not much to say anything, but the queen always reluctant to part with. Leaving the palace, Xie Ren will walk freely in the Imperial City, in accordance with yesterday’s statement, accompanied by Mu love back to a trip home.

    Vermilion door and the poor slums, often only a lane away. Mu Qing’s original home was nestled in a dark alley in the most prosperous part of the Imperial City.

    The three had just arrived at the entrance of the alley when five or six ragged children surrounded them, saying, “Brother. Brother is back!”

    Xie Ren first also slightly strange, how to see a stranger called brother, then realized that the group of children called “brother” is not him, but Mu Qing. The children called him sweetly, but Mu Qing ignored them and said, “Not this time. You guys don’t call nonsense.”

    Although he had a wooden face, his tone was not really cold. After saying that, he also said to Xie Ren, “Your Highness don’t mind, these are the children in the neighborhood.” The group of children, however, were obviously familiar with him, and were used to playing around on weekdays, and were completely unafraid of him, smilingly surrounding them, stretching out their dirty little hands, looking for Mu情 to beg for food. In the end, Mu情 still took a bunch of ruby red cherries from the bag and gave them a share.

    Seeing this, Feng Xin was quite surprised and seemed to think that it was rare for Mu情 to do this kind of thing. It was no wonder, after all, Mu情 had a white face that looked extremely thin and cool, the kind where passersby starved to death in front of them and also had to cover their rations tightly. Xie Ren was not surprised. Originally, he also wanted to touch out what to this group of children, but he is not always with candy on the body, called the wind letter directly to the point of silver, but also as if in the sending beggars, and ultimately do not feel right. Who knows, is at this time, suddenly heard da da wild sound, a long string of horse neighing, the street came a scream.

    Several people look aghast, Xie Ren snatched out of the alley to go. The two sides of the street fell to the west and east, people toppled over, pedestrians have fled, red apples, yellow pears rolled all over the ground. Before I could see what was going on, I heard a teenager laugh maniacally, “Get out of the way, get out of the way! I don’t care if you step on them and kill them!”

    Feng Xin cursed and said, “It’s Chi Rong again!”

    Sure enough, Qi Rong stood on his magnificent golden carriage, his face containing a fierce aura, raising his horse whip and flinging it about for a while, whipping the white horse to neigh. Xie Ren said, “Stop him!”

    That golden car whizzed by in front of them, and Feng Xin said, “Yes!” This then rushed on ahead. Xie Ren was about to look at the pedestrians and stalls that had been knocked over by Qi Rong’s car and check if anyone was injured, but suddenly felt that something was wrong. Fiercely turning back to look, he only saw that after the tall gold car, there was a long thick hemp rope being dragged. And at the end of the rope, a sack was tied. That sack seemed to be covered with something that was still struggling inside. By the looks of it, it was loaded with a person.

    In an instant, Xie Ren only felt creeped out. The next moment, he snatched his steps and rushed up.

    The white horse was Chi Rong pumped life wildly, even with the carriage also wheels flying, wind letter to the front to stop the horse, afraid of a moment and a half can not stop. Xie Ren took three steps to catch up with the carriage, sheathed his long sword, and swung it down. The hemp rope should be cut off, the sack also fell to the ground, rolled twice, not moving.

    Xie Ren leaned down to inspect. The sack had been dragged on the ground for an unknown amount of time, worn until it was badly torn, dirty to the core, and bloodstained, as if it was a body sinking bag. With another stroke of his sword, he chopped off the rope tying the mouth of the sack, opened it, and with just a glance, there was indeed a person inside. Moreover, it was a young child!

    Xie Ren ripped open the entire sack. That young child inside curled up into a ball, tightly holding his head, dirty clothes on the footprints are either too big for him or blood, hair is also blood stained tangled, messy, obviously to the people beat up, simply can not see the human appearance. And look at the body shape, but only seven or eight years old, very small one, shaking as if being peeled a layer of skin, I really do not know how to be so beaten and dragged to the ground after still survive.

    Xie Ren immediately used his hand to probe his neck, and when he detected that the pulsation wasn’t too weak, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately picked up the small body, and as soon as he turned around, he angrily shouted, “Feng Xin! Stop Chi Rong for me!!!”

    He truly never thought that something like this could still happen in the Immortal Bliss Kingdom. In broad daylight, on the street, a nobleman, putting a living person in a sack and dragging it behind a carriage! If he hadn’t seen it and stopped it, wouldn’t this tiny toddler have been dragged alive today?

    In the distance ahead, there were bursts of hissing and the sound of Chi Rong’s roar, and in a moment, Feng Xin said in a loud voice, “Stopped!”

    Xie Ren took a few steps to catch up to the front, just in time to catch Qi Rong letting out a cry of misery, and angrily said, “You dog-gutsy underling, how dare you injure me, who gave you the guts?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

    It turned out that Feng Xin could not stop him, so he went to grab the horse’s reins. Chi Rong, of course, did not give it to him, and after grabbing it, he was pushed off the carriage by Feng Xin’s unintentional bump in the heat of the moment. He fell to the ground and rolled a few times, scraping his knee and seeing that he was surrounded by onlookers, he only felt angry and embarrassed. Xie Ren, however, said, “I gave it to him!”

    Chi Rong opened her mouth and said, “Cousin Prince!”

    Xie Ren said angrily, “Look at what you’ve done here! Chi Rong, I really ……”

    At that moment, he suddenly felt the toddler in his arms shrink, and seemed to slowly loosen his hold on his head, and was peeking at him from among his elbows.

    Xie Ren immediately collected his anger and lowered his head to say softly, “How do you feel? Is there anywhere in particular that hurts?”

    The child was actually still awake, did not pass out from the pain, nor was he stunned, shaking his head. Xie Ren saw the small half of his face exposed blood, want to see if he hurt his head, but who knows, the child is tightly covered the other half of the face, dead not to show him.
