The fluffy 'little raccoon cat' vigilantly pulled up a tree trunk as thick as a person with his backhand and threw it at Scholar Yin without any explanation -
"Sneaking up to the palace in the middle of the night, you must be a bad guy!"
This scene is no less astonishing than seeing a rabbit lifting a bear.
The hidden scholar nimbly turned sideways to avoid it. "Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and dust was scattered in all directions.
Under the dim moonlight, he could vaguely see a large pit made on the ground.
He raised his eyebrows coldly, is this Tangquan Mountain some kind of Wuhua Tianbao training ground? The fat spider before became a spirit, and now the fat civet cat has also become a spirit?!
The 'little raccoon cat' took advantage of the dust to disperse, quickly turned around and walked quickly into the forest with its little fat legs.
But he didn't expect that the next moment, someone would pick him up by the back of his neck.
"Ouch, ouch...let me go!" the 'little civet cat' screamed, kicking its chubby limbs.
This scene was strangely familiar. The hidden scholar had a cold expression on his face and instinctively took the 'little raccoon cat' away from him.
It seems...he once accidentally suffered a loss while carrying some 'little thing'.
But the next moment, Ming Lanruo reached out and hugged the little raccoon cat in his hand, and kicked him directly into his arms.
"Cang Mingxi, you little bastard is so impatient that you dare to sneak out of the palace for me in the middle of the night!"
The woman's angry and annoyed voice echoed through the dark forest almost instantly, and she was so rude that she didn't look like a noblewoman from aristocratic family.
Scholar Yin was stunned for a moment. He looked at the 'little raccoon cat' held in Ming Lanruo's arms in disbelief.
This ferocious little civet cat that has become a spirit is...that little cub of hers?!
No, that's not the point. The point is that this is the first time he heard the child's full name...
His surname is Cang? Why!
The 'little raccoon cat' was startled for a moment, then lifted the furry hat on its head, hugged Ming Lanruo's neck tightly with an "ouch", and screamed - "Mother! Mother!!"
Ming Lanruo was so strangled by the little man in her arms that her neck almost broke. She rolled her eyes and quickly pulled him away: "Cough cough cough...slow down, slow down!"
Xiao Xi let go of her hand, raised her head, and kissed Ming Lanruo's face with her soft little mouth. The kiss made Ming Lanruo's anger disappear a lot.
The little man burst into tears, burying his face in her neck with grievance and fear: "Mother, the guards sent by the Queen Mother to pick you up are all dead. They all said something happened to you. Xiao Xi is so scared!"
When her son cried like this, Ming Lanruo was still angry, only helpless.
She hugged the soft little body in her arms tightly, feeling very distressed: "So, why did you sneak out of the palace to find your mother in the middle of the night? It's too dangerous."
"But, Xiao Xi is afraid... I'm so afraid what if I'm not by your side when my mother needs me. Xiao Xi only has her mother!" Xiao Xi choked with sobs.
Ming Lanruo's eyes were red and she hugged the trembling child tightly in her arms.
Xiao Xi is an extremely precocious child, and a child without a father is more mature. Even though his strength is extraordinary, he is still just a five-year-old baby. How could he not be scared when he sneaks into the woods in the middle of the night?
"I'm sorry, it's mom who makes you worry." She gently comforted the boy in her arms, who was trembling like a kitten.
Mother and son hugged each other for a long time before Xiao Xi calmed down. He sniffed and said, "Mother is fine, where is sister Jinghe?"
Ming Lanruo touched his little head: "We are indeed in danger, so Jing and sister will come back later, don't worry."
Xiao Xi nodded, relieved and curious.
He nestled in Ming Lanruo's arms and pointed at the silent scholar beside him: "Who is he?"
Ming Lanruo said gently: "He is the teacher my mother found for you. You are five years old and it is time to prepare for enlightenment."
Xiao Xi pouted unhappily: "But, mother has always taught me how to read, so I don't need a teacher."
Ming Lanruo smiled and thought he was a child: "Studying and enlightenment are different. You must have a teacher."
Xiao Xi glanced at Scholar Yin unhappily. This man, like the old monster, liked to carry him around, but he also couldn't kick him.
Hum, disgusting...
He doesn't like him!
The hidden scholar suddenly said: "Young master, please give me the word "hidden" in my name. Can I ask your last name?"
Xiao Xi pouted and ignored him, only looking at Ming Lanruo: "Mother, let's go back to the palace quickly. The Queen Mother and Aunt Tan are so anxious that they sent many people to look for you."
Ming Lanruo nodded: "Okay, let's go."
She had to quickly ask the Queen Mother to retrieve King Qin Shangguan Hongye.
If that guy didn't encounter any ferocious beasts, but instead encountered the prince's people, his life would be in jeopardy.
When Scholar Yin saw Ming Lanruo leading Xiao Xi towards the side door of the palace, although he was full of suspicion and his eyes were complicated and dark, he could only follow him first.
The guard at the side gate of the palace saw Ming Lanruo taking out the token and immediately reported it.
Not long after, a large group of people came out in a hurry and surrounded Ming Lanruo and the others into the palace.
The Queen Mother hurriedly summoned Ming Lanruo. She only had time to wash up briefly in the annex, and then hurriedly told Scholar Yin: "You stay in the annex first and watch over Xiao Xi for me. This is the palace. If you get out of trouble, I will
I can’t even protect you.”
The hidden scholar nodded politely: "My dear lady, please don't worry."
After Ming Lanruo left with Aunt Tan, Xiao Xi was also carried by the maids to take a bath.
After the cute pink little guy came out clean, he immediately walked to Xiao Xi and sat down, smiling slightly: "Xiao Xi, you haven't told me what your full name is yet."
He needed to confirm whether he heard correctly just now.
"It's none of your business what your last name is. You're not my father!" Xiao Xi didn't answer.
But he looked at the hidden scholar for a while, and suddenly murmured suspiciously: "Why do you look familiar to me? You seem to look a bit like an annoying guy?"
The hidden scholar raised his eyes slightly: "Oh?"
"Hey, yes, that's your expression!"
Xiao Xi stretched out her two chubby paws and pulled at the corners of her eyes, grinning and making a face: "That's a scary old monster who specializes in eating children. He has a thin waist and a big butt. He also has body odor. Every time
Suffocate the little babies to death with body odor, then catch them and eat them!"
The maids of the Hot Spring Palace had never seen Cang Qiao, but they were amused by Xiao Xi's cute appearance.
"Pfft, the young master keeps saying that to Master Qiantose. Could it be that Master Qiantose really looks like that and has body odor?"
"I'm not sure. Everyone knows that Chitose is very scary. Maybe it's just because he looks scary."
"Pah!" The palace maids joked, causing Scholar Yin to crush the cup in his hand.
The palace maids were startled, almost suspecting that they had seen it wrong. Is this frail scholar capable of crushing a landscape hardware cup with his bare hands?
Scholar Yin lowered his eyes and coughed lightly: "I'm really sorry, my hand slipped and it broke."
The palace maids suddenly realized that it was broken into pieces, and they hurried over, fearing that the gravel would hurt Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi felt more and more strange in her heart. This person had clearly crushed the cup, so why did he say it was broken?
"The waist is small and the hips are big. She is a woman, and where does the body odor come from? Children, don't make nonsense." The hidden scholar had a cold face, his teeth were itching with hatred, and he clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves.
Children are indeed the most annoying things in the world.
Xiao Xi snorted coldly: "Forget it if you don't believe it. Don't follow me. I'll go to the Queen Mother's place to wait for my mother."
After saying that, he jumped and ran out.
Scholar Yin frowned, stood up and was about to follow, but when he reached the door, he was stopped by the maids.
"Sir, although you are a guest of the princess, you are not a member of the palace, and you are a foreigner. You must not walk around here, otherwise you will lose your head. Young Master, we will follow ourselves. You are in the annex.
The room is ready."
The hidden scholar paused and said coldly: "Take good care of him, otherwise you'll have to watch your head carefully."
Several palace maids froze, and unexpectedly saluted respectfully involuntarily: "Yes."
He turned around and went back to the room they arranged for him.
After returning to his room, he sat at the table and stared silently at the dark sky outside the window.
Cang Mingxi... Cang Mingxi...
This name somehow made him feel uneasy.
He pondered for a moment and raised his cold eyes. He must get an answer, an answer he didn't know what he was looking for.
The hidden scholar simply opened the window, and with a movement of his body, the room was instantly empty.
