If Jun Lingyun knew that the person in her mother's heart was not his father, but Sikong Yu, how would she face his current status as the crown prince?
If he knew that the death of his mother was not only framed by Concubine Xiao, but that the culprit was actually his father!
Even, it is to protect his son! If there is a grudge that cannot be avenged, how to resolve it?
It would be better for Jun Lingyun to always think that the emperor had misjudged a huge injustice back then. Maybe he would feel better.
Chu Yunxi pretended to be relaxed.
"I'm just telling you, sir, that I love you very much, and I beg you to love me. If you love me, I'll do it."
Xi'er was hiding something from him, and as sharp as Jun Lingyun, she came to this conclusion almost instantly.
There is no doubt that Sikong Yu is able to run an organization as large as the Life and Death Sect, and his determination is firm.
He endured the humiliation and planned a game of chess for more than ten years. How could he change it for such a trivial reason?
But why did Xi'er hide the truth from him? Because the truth was even crueler to him, and Xi'er didn't want him to know!
Xi'er's library tower contains such terrible secrets about the royal family that she would rather keep it alone.
Jun Lingyun was lost in thought when a man suddenly ran up diagonally in front of him, and he quickly tightened the reins.
"Uu——"
Only then did Jun Lingyun see clearly that the person in front of him who was almost trampled by his horse's hooves was actually a boy of only seven or eight years old.
Chu Yunxi's heartbeat also accelerated. Fortunately, Jun Lingyun pulled the reins in time.
Bai Xiao got off his horse and helped the child up.
"Are you hurt?"
He looked around and found no family members of the child.
Jun Lingyun also dismounted and came to the child's side, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
There is no village in front of the village and no store in the back. How could a child bump into it by himself?
Seeing the child reaching towards Jun Lingyun, as if to grab his sleeve, Bai Xiao's heart rang with alarm. The sword was not unsheathed, but it had already resisted the child's outstretched hand.
The child hurriedly retracted his hand. Seeing that he was frightened, Bai Xiao calmly reassured him.
"Our master has a mysophobia."
The child looked at Jun Lingyun cautiously.
"I, I was being chased and I escaped here. Please save me from the knights."
The child did look a little weak and panicked, and he really looked like he was running for his life.
But who would chase and kill a seven or eight-year-old child?
Jun Lingyun looked at the child. His clothes were not gorgeous, but extremely simple. However, he had delicate eyebrows and delicate skin. Although he looked downcast, there was always an indelible stubbornness in his eyes.
It must be a young man from a wealthy family who disguised himself. Could it be that his home was robbed?
"Whose child are you? Where do you live?"
"I……"
The child only said the word "I", then his body softened and he fell down!
Bai Xiao didn't think much, so he caught him and felt his breath.
"Master, I fainted."
Jun Lingyun raised his eyebrows slightly and went out to pick up the child. This seemed to be Xi'er's constitution.
"Give him some water."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Xiao took off the water bottle from his waist and slowly poured the water into the child's mouth. But not much was swallowed.
Chu Yunxi and others had also dismounted to check on the child's condition.
"Your Royal Highness, Crown Princess, he seems to have been drugged."
After Si Qi finished speaking, several people looked at her and added carefully.
"Fragrance and medicine have the same origin, I'm just slightly..."
"Have a little dabbling, I understand."
Before Chu Yunxi could finish her words, she put on an expression that said, "I completely understand." This made Si Qi a little embarrassed.
Chu Yunxi took out his bottles and picked out a refreshing bottle.
"Try giving it to her."
The child took the medicine and indeed got better. He opened his eyes slightly, but he was still a little confused and unable to answer any of Jun Lingyun's questions.
"Master, should we take him with us?"
The child's appearance was really strange. Bai Xiao was worried that there was fraud, but he couldn't leave an unconscious child in the middle of the road.
Jun Lingyun didn't know the risks. Even if it was a conspiracy, it couldn't be done at the cost of a child's life.
"Take it with you and go to the next city to find a doctor to take a look at him."
"Yes, Master."
Bai Xiao put the child on his horse, and the group speeded up, and entered the city again half a day later.
In the hospital, the doctor looked at the child's pupils and tongue coating, felt his pulse, and then took out a silver needle. After a few needles, the child's face became visibly rosier.
"You took the medicine in time. The young master is fine. He just needs to rest for a while and he will recover."
"Then when will he wake up?"
Chu Yunxi asked, but he had to find out the child's identity in order to know where to send him.
"Follow the prescription and drink a decoction. You will wake up after drinking it."
"Thank you, doctor."
They had no choice but to take the prescription and take their children to find an inn to rest.
I boiled the medicine and gave it to the child. The child finally woke up slowly, with a look of panic and alertness on his face.
Chu Yunxi stepped forward and smiled lightly at him.
"Don't be afraid, we saved you."
She wanted to calm the child's emotions and was extremely gentle. But as soon as she said the words, Jun Lingyun pulled her behind her.
"What's your name? Where do you live? If you don't tell me, you will be sent to the government to be treated as an orphan."
"No, don't send me to court. I'm not a bad person."
The child became even more panicked. Chu Yunxi held her forehead and said, forget it, according to Jun Lingyun's thinking, it was a male, so she would not get involved.
"Ling Yun, I'll go back to the house and wait for you."
Jun Lingyun's original serious face was replaced with a smile.
"Okay, madam, let's go."
Haha, madam! Is it necessary to call her that in front of a child? Chu Yunxi smiled awkwardly, turned around and left the house with Si Qi.
Jun Lingyun looked at the child again with an evil look.
"It was an accident that you bumped into my horse. You can tell yourself the cause and effect, or do you want me to help you?"
The child looked sad, pursed his lips, and said:
"My father died of illness, and my uncles, together with the slaves, wanted to seize the family property from me, even at the cost of my life. I, I escaped."
Bai Xiao and others frowned after hearing this. What kind of uncle is this? My brother is dead. I don't want to take care of my brother's orphans, but instead rob his property. They are simply robbers! They are worse than pigs and dogs!
Bai Xiao knew that Jun Lingyun's patience was limited, so he asked questions on his behalf:
"If what you say is true, our master will definitely make the decision for you, but you have to tell us where your home is so that our master can help you."
The child kept shaking his head.
"You can't help me. I have to go to the capital, where there are people who can help me."
Several people looked at each other, and Bai Xiao continued to ask:
"Who are you looking for in the capital? We are from the capital, and we may be able to guide you."
This child seems to have seen hope,
"Really? Then can you take me to the capital? I will definitely repay you when I get to the capital."
As he spoke, he started to pull Jun Lingyun's sleeve again. Among these people, Jun Lingyun was the master, who should he ask for if not him?
But Jun Lingyun took a step back and almost dodged him out of the bed. Bai Xiao held him up with one hand and shook his head helplessly. How could he not have a long memory?
When the group set off again, there was an oil bottle beside Bai Xiao.
