If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

The sky is clear and cloudless, and the autumn wind is brisk.

A young man in a royal blue brocade robe rode a donkey leisurely through the crowded streets.

A carrot was dangling in front of the donkey.

"Roujiamo, delicious Roujiamo."

"Meat buns, hot meat buns..."

"Tanghulu, three cents a string, three cents a string."

The boy had a pair of eyes that were black and white like peach petals, and his face was full of curiosity. He looked here and there, touching his hungry stomach.

Ah, it smells really good.

I want to eat roujiamo and meat buns.

He is so hungry.

But he had no money.

Suddenly, he saw two familiar figures.

Weren't those the mother and daughter who were outside the city complaining with tears and snot that they had no money for food, and who snatched his purse and ran away after he took it out?

"Hey, hey, give my purse back to me. It's fine if you stole it, but at least leave me some money for food." The young man climbed down from the donkey, led the donkey and went to find the mother and daughter.

The woman in coarse clothes was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and the girl next to her was about ten years old.

When the two men saw the young man, a hint of guilt and cunning flashed in their eyes.

"Where did this scoundrel come from? How dare you ask such questions? Who took your purse? You have no shame." The woman shouted loudly.

"We are an orphan and a widow and it's already miserable, why are you trying to cheat us out of our money?"

The girl sobbed and looked at the boy in panic.

It immediately attracted the attention of people around.

"You are so young, but you still don't learn good deeds. Instead, you have learned how to cheat and deceive people. You little bastard, we are not easy to bully." The woman shouted angrily.

The boy was dumbfounded.

Wow, the mother and daughter changed their expressions so quickly.

This wasn't the expression on his face when I was complaining to him outside just now.

"Don't talk nonsense. If I didn't feel sorry for you, I wouldn't have taken out my purse." shouted the young man.

"Why did the mother and daughter only wrongly accuse you? Young man, you should reflect on yourself."

"You are just too greedy, and you bully an orphan and a widow."

“How cruel.”

"..." There were voices all around talking and looking down on the young man.

The boy was already hungry, and now he was surrounded and condemned by so many people, he felt dizzy.

Hungry and angry!

He leaned on the donkey and pointed at the woman, "Take out the purse. You said the purse is yours. Take it out and show it to everyone. See if you can afford that purse."

Guilt flashed in the woman's eyes, "Why should I take it out? What if you snatch it away?"

"Please, everyone, report it to the authorities for me. If I have stolen it, let the authorities arrest me." The young man said weakly to the people around him.

"I don't think this young man is a swindler. Look at the clothes he is wearing, they are all made of top-quality silk." Someone whispered.

The woman became angry and said, "For no reason, someone comes and asks me to take my purse. How can this be justified?"

"Mom, I...my stomach hurts so much." The little girl grabbed the woman's hand and cried.

"I'll take you to see a doctor." The woman held the little girl in her arms and ran into the crowd.

The boy pointed at their backs, not having the energy to chase after them.

Just when he thought he was going to starve to death on the street, there was a sudden commotion among the crowd.

The people who had been surrounding him respectfully made way for him, leaving a path in the middle.

The woman who was trying to escape was stopped by two Ti riders wearing flying fish costumes, and she hugged the girl tremblingly.

The one in the front was a man in black clothes. He was walking towards her against the light. His handsome features blended in the bright light, giving him an unreal coldness.

The young man narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the other person's appearance clearly in the dizziness.

He smiled brightly.

"My brother..."

She was just as he had imagined, tall and graceful, with an elegant demeanor.

Lu Yuan frowned, but before he could ask, he saw the young man close his eyes and fall straight towards him.

I heard the boy's weak voice, "Brother..."

……

……

"Fainted from hunger?"

After hearing Doctor Zhou's diagnosis, Lu Yuan was a little surprised. What did this kid go through along the way that he could actually faint from hunger?

"I'll give him acupuncture to wake him up first, and then feed him some porridge and water." Zhou Zhou said.

"Commander Lu, who is he to you?"

Lu Yuan frowned and his eyes fell on the boy's pale face. His lips were almost bloodless.

Zhou Zhou said, "This child is born with a weakness. He has a heart disease."

"Is it serious?" Lu Yuan's heart sank slightly, remembering what Ruan Xinglin said, that the little prince would not live long.

"With proper treatment, he can live longer." Zhou Zhou said in a deep voice.

With his medical skills and all his efforts, he could only let the young man live another 10 to 20 years.

This is only true if you take good care of yourself and are not stimulated.

Lu Yuan whispered: "Then please ask Doctor Zhou to treat him well. If you need any medicine, please tell me."

"Okay." Zhou Zhou nodded.

After Zhou Zhou gave the boy acupuncture, he finally slowly opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Yuan, and he squinted and smiled.

"elder brother!"

Lu Yuan's heart softened inexplicably.

"Get up and drink the porridge." Lu Yuan said coldly.

"I want to eat roujiamo and meat buns." The boy sat up obediently and took the porridge from Lu Yuan's hand.

He sniffed, but there was no smell of meat.

Lu Yuan watched him expressionlessly as he drank the porridge mouthful by mouthful.

The pale color on the boy's face recovered a little.

"What's your name?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Fu Jinyi." The young man answered immediately.

As expected, he is the little prince of the Southern Dynasty. He is not afraid of exposing his identity at all.

Lu Yuan pursed his lips, "Where are your guards? Why are you alone? You just told me your name like that. Aren't you afraid that I will take you into the palace as a hostage?"

I don't know how he became the crown prince. He has no sense of vigilance at all.

He was so stupid and naive that even the money he had on him was stolen by two con men.

"You are different, you are my brother." Fu Jinyi said with a smile.

"They wouldn't let me come to the capital, so I tried to get rid of them."

"I found you on my own. I'm such a little genius."

Lu Yuan rubbed his brows. It was hard to imagine how the Queen of the Southern Dynasty could raise her son to be so naive.

"Do you know how to contact your guards?"

Fu Jinyi: "You don't want to send me back to the Southern Dynasty now, do you? That won't work. I finally got out here, so of course I have to have enough fun before I go back."

"Brother, I have never left the palace in my life. The imperial doctors have said that I won't live long. You can't let me die without seeing what the world is like."

"This time, I saw how high the mountains were and how wide the rivers were. They were much better than in the palace."

Even though he knew that he was just making excuses for not wanting to go back to the Southern Dynasty, Lu Yuan still softened his heart inexplicably.

"Can you get down to the ground? Follow me."

Forget it, let’s wait a few more days. We have to contact his guards first.
