    Chapter Index

    Xie Ren coaxed, “Don’t be afraid, it’s alright, I just want to take a look at your injury.” The youngster covered himself tighter and tighter, revealing only one big black eye, showing a look of fear. But this fear is not like being afraid of being beaten by him, but rather like being afraid of what he might find out.

    Looking at this little half face and one eye, Xie Ren suddenly felt that he had seen this child somewhere, narrowing his eyes slightly. Seeing his face extremely ugly, Qi Rong said, “Cousin Prince, this little miscreant spoiled your grand ceremony yesterday, I will help you out. Don’t worry, I’ve left my point, I won’t die.”

    Sure enough, the child he held in his arms was the one who had fallen from the city tower yesterday during the Shangyuan Festival!

    No wonder Xie Ren more and more familiar to see him, this child did not even change his clothes, still yesterday’s body, just because after punching, kicking and dragging the ground to walk, more dirty than yesterday, can not be seen is the same, more can not be seen is the same person. Xie Ren couldn’t stand it any longer and said: “Who told you that I want to take out my anger? What’s this kid got to do with it? It’s not his fault!”

    Qi Rong, on the other hand, said, “Of course it’s his fault. If it wasn’t for him, how would you have been scolded by the State Master?”

    This wave is very powerful, surrounded by onlookers more and more pedestrians gathered, whispering. Coincidentally, at this time, Mu Qing also walked up, Qi Rong Yang whip pointed at him, look defiant with a hint of hostility, said: “And you this subordinate. This person knows at a glance that he is not at peace with himself, if you don’t treat him properly now, sooner or later in the future, he will turn over the heavens and step on you, his master’s head. I helped you teach him a lesson, but you protected him and accused me. Now my aunt and uncle have caught me in a good mood and confiscated my gold cart. Cousin, that was my birthday present! I’ve been looking forward to it for over two years!”

    Mu Xie swept a glance at Qi Rong without any yin or yang. Xie Ren laughed back in anger and said, “I don’t need you to do me favors like this. Are you actually taking it out on me, or are you taking it out on yourself?”

    “……” Chi Rong said, “Cousin, why do you say such things to me? And what did I do wrong when I turned toward you?”

    Xie Ren couldn’t make sense to him and said, “Qi Rong, listen carefully, from now on, you are not allowed to move this child a bit. Not a single finger, you hear me?”

    At this time, Xie Ren’s neck suddenly tightened. He was in the midst of his anger, slightly stunned, he looked down and saw that the toddler had buried his face in his arms, both hands tightly circling his neck. Xie Ren felt him trembling terribly, thinking that he was in pain somewhere, and busily said, “What’s wrong?”

    The young child’s body was mixed with mud, gray sand, blood, dirty, all stained Xie Ren’s white clothes, but Xie Ren did not care, gently patted his back to show that he was pacified, and said in a deep voice: “It’s okay. I’ll take you to see a doctor now.”

    That young child did not answer, but circled him tighter. Deadly not let go, as if holding a life-saving straw. Qi Rong see Xie Ren completely ungrateful for his love, bent on the outsiders, and see that the child to the blood and mud rolling things are rubbed on Xie Ren, anger burns heart, horse whip raised, to the back of the child’s head to whip down. Feng Xin has been standing aside, this time suddenly a foot flying out, kicked Chi Rong arm.

    “With a click, Qi Rong cried out, his whip fell to the ground, and his right arm bent at an abnormal angle, hanging limply. He still looked incredulous, and only after a long time did he slowly raise his head, staring at Feng Xin, and said word by word: “You, how dare you break my arm!”

    This sentence was so cold that it penetrated to the bone. Feng Xin kicked before reacting to what he had done, and his face changed slightly. Mu Ai’s face, however, became much more powerful than his.

    How they hated Chi Rong behind their backs on weekdays, that was one thing. But as a guard, a momentary slip and breaking the arm of a royal relative, that was another thing entirely!

    Xie Ren, although his hands are holding the child, behind the pedestrians are onlookers, it is not good to dodge, but if he wants to dodge, it is also an easy thing. Just Chi Rong came on the rampage, often sudden upsurge, Feng Xin shot too fast to think carefully, and now it is even more chaotic situation, did not catch up to block, but also do not care so much. His front chest clothing have been drenched in blood through, afraid of dragging on this child will die, Xie Ren instant decision, lifted a breath, said aloud: “Everyone, today present if you are involved, what loss, temporarily note, after I will be responsible for it, and will never shift the blame!”

    With that, he said to Feng Xin Muyi, “Save the child first. Take Chi Rong away and don’t let him continue to mess around outside!” After saying that, he turned around and rushed in the direction of the palace while holding the young child. Feng Xin received the order, his complexion returned to normal, and as he lifted the angry Qi Rong, he followed him and rushed towards the palace. The soldiers in front of the palace gateway saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had only left for an hour and then rushed back like fire and wind, although they were surprised, they naturally did not dare to stop them. So, Xie Ren rushed all the way to the imperial doctor, let Feng Xin and Mu Yi escort Chi Rong to guard the outside, and went in himself.

    It was rare for His Highness the Crown Prince to return to the palace and issue an order, so naturally the imperial doctors had to arrive at a rapid pace. Xie Ren placed the young child onto a chair and said, ”Thank you all. This child has just been beaten by several adults, and was put into a sack and dragged all the way on the ground, please help me to see if his head is injured first, this is the most important thing.”

    Several imperial doctors although never saw the royal nobleman holding a dirty wild doll rushed in to let them heal, but also know that let them do what to do is, Nuo Nuo should be. A man said: “Little friend, first put your hand down.”

    However, that young child all the way by Xie Ren carry in, the road are very good, this time but die stubborn up, tightly cover the right half of the face, say what also refused to put down the hand. This imperial doctor again capable, the patient does not cooperate with no rule of law, the imperial doctors look at Xie Ren: “Your Royal Highness, this ……?”

    Xie Ren slightly raised his hand and said, “Maybe he’s afraid of being born. It’s fine, I’ll do it.”

    The young child was sitting on a chair, so Xie Ren couldn’t look at him flatly, so he leaned down slightly, bent his waist, and asked with a crooked head, “What’s your name?”

    The child’s one big eye stared straight at him, and in the dark pupil of his eye, a snow-white reflection was reflected. This kind of eyes, if you want to describe it, it is really like what Feng Xin said – “as if possessed by a devil, a ghost possessed”, should not appear in a child’s body.

    Only after a long time did he lower his head and say, “…… red ……”

    His voice was low and small, a bit vague, like he didn’t want to say, but also like he was a bit embarrassed. Xie Ren only heard the word “red” and asked again, “How old are you?”

    The kid said, “Ten years old.”

    Xie Ren was just asking casually to dispel his vigilance, but when she heard his coy answer of “ten years old”, she was stunned and thought: “I thought he was only seven or eight years old, but he’s actually ten years old? Then this child is really very weak.”

    After a pause, Xie Ren smiled faintly and said, “Now that all the doctors are helping you to look at your injuries, don’t be afraid to put down your hands, okay?”

    That young child listened, but hesitantly shook his head. Xie Ren said, “Why won’t you?”

    There was a long silence before he said, “Ugly.”

    He answered such a word, and no matter how much he coaxed, he refused to cooperate with letting go of his head to look at it. Xie Ren swore that it was not ugly, he did not look at it, he turned around and could not. At such a young age, he was extremely stubborn. Helpless, the imperial doctors had to ask him a few questions, let him identify a few hands than the number, to confirm that he is neither dizzy, nor headache, see things think things are clear, this will first give him first treatment of body injuries.

    As the treatment went on, the several imperial physicians all seemed to be very puzzled and tsked. Xie Ren had been guarding the side, and upon hearing the sound, said, “Everyone, how is it?”

    An imperial physician couldn’t help but say, “Your Highness, did this little friend really give someone a beating and was stuffed into a sack and dragged all the way?”

    Xie Ren was speechless for a moment and said, “That’s still false.”

    The imperial physician said, “That would be …… remarkable. I have never seen such a tenacious person. With five broken ribs, a leg, and all sorts of small and large injuries, cumulatively, he is actually still able to be awake as usual, and sit and stand to converse with others. It’s still difficult for an adult to do so, let alone a ten year old child.”

    When Xie Ren heard that the injury was actually so serious, his anger towards Qi Rong grew even more in his heart. Taking another look at the toddler, sitting on the chair as if he could not feel any pain at all, he was just still using that one big, black left eye to sneak a peek at him. After realizing that he was caught by Xie Ren, he immediately twisted his head away.
