Standing under the shade of the trees in the afternoon, one person and two children stood, no one spoke for a long time, Mu Zongying even buried her head in Ye Xiuquan's arms, and refused to lift it up for a long time.

Finally, Ye Xiuquan couldn't help breaking the silence, and called out, "Father..."

His adoptive father had told him not to walk around, but now he sneaked out and was caught, I really don't know how to explain it now.

Hearing this call, Mu Zongying's drooping little face turned pale on the spot, and the arms around Ye Xiuquan's waist gradually loosened.

"Quan'er, why don't you tell your adoptive father when you come out."

But Feng Wanqiu didn't blame him as he thought, instead, he stepped forward and rubbed his head, with a slight smile between his brows, which made him go forward to admit his mistake guiltily.

"...Father, Quan'er will not dare next time."

"Look at your appearance, foster father is not vicious, don't be afraid." After a few hearty laughs, Feng Wanqiu then turned his attention to the little man in his arms, and suddenly felt that this child was somewhat look familiar.

"Okay, let's introduce the child in your arms for the adoptive father." Feng Wanqiu smiled and looked at Mu Zongying, wanting to see who it was that attracted his obedient adopted son to run out without heeding his instructions.

"Zongying, this is my adoptive father." Patting Mu Zongying in his arms, Ye Xiuquan wanted to introduce him to his adoptive father.

Only then did Mu Zongying slowly raise her head, and smiled slightly at Feng Wanqiu. "Wind Guard."

"Too...His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Feng Wanqiu exclaimed, and immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Get up quickly, you are the person next to the father, and you are the adoptive father of the whole brother, this court can't bear it." At this moment, Mu Zongying's thoughts turned several times, and then she smiled and swept away the words just now. haze.

"Quan'er, hurry up and kneel down and salute His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Seeing that the adopted son was still frozen in place, Feng Wanqiu couldn't help but give him a hand.

"Brother Quan is exempt, I don't treat him as an outsider." But Mu Zongying still smiled and took Ye Xiuquan's hand, smiling innocently.

"Zongying... are you really the prince?" Ye Xiuquan stared blankly at him, and then he was stunned for a long time before saying this.

"What's the matter, does Brother Quan despise me?" There was mist in the big round eyes, and Mu Zongying puffed up her cheeks, looking very hurt.

"How could it be? No matter who Zongying is, Brother Quan will never dislike you." Afraid he might misunderstand, Ye Xiuquan hurriedly held Mu Zongying's hand back.

What he likes is Zong Ying, not his status as a prince, he was just too shocked for a moment.

"It's fine if you don't." After saying sweetly, Mu Zongying turned to Feng Wanqiu again, "Guard Feng, I have a merciless request from my palace."

"What orders does the prince have, please tell me."

"I like brother Quan very much, and I want him to come to the East Palace to accompany me." Although it was a request, Mu Zongying's tone was so strong that no one could refuse.

"It... depends on Quan'er's intentions." He had vaguely guessed something from just now, so Feng Wanqiu was not surprised by his request, but he didn't want to force his adopted son either.

"Brother Quan, how are you?" Mu Zongying turned to look at Ye Xiuquan again.

"Okay, as long as you don't think that Brother Quan can only read books and doesn't understand the joys of life, Brother Quan will accompany you." Ye Xiuquan nodded in agreement.

Firstly, he really likes Zongying, and secondly, to save his adoptive father from embarrassing, agreeing is the best of both worlds.

"Great, then brother Quan and Ben Gong will go back to the palace together." Clapping her little hands, Mu Zongying cheered happily.

"Father..." Unexpectedly, Mu Zongying would go there by himself so soon, Ye Xiuquan looked at the father beside him, hesitant.

"Go, take care of His Highness the Crown Prince." Feng Wanqiu smiled lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

The crown prince lost his mother at a young age, which was a huge blow to him, if Quan'er could resolve the sadness in the crown prince's heart, and let the two of them accompany each other, it would not be a bad thing.

Being in the East Palace, Ye Xiuquan felt uncomfortable. Although the small courtyard where he lived before was also very luxurious, not to mention the carved beams and painted buildings in the East Palace, every decoration in the palace is priceless, even the teacups are made of high-quality white jade. On the mountain, he had never seen such ostentation before, he only thought that if it was damaged, he would never be able to afford it for the rest of his life.

"Brother Quan, come here quickly."

"En." Seeing Mu Zongying smiling and waving to him in the study, Ye Xiuquan walked cautiously, taking every step with extra care.

"Brother Quan, this is for you." Mu Zongying took a palm-sized jade brave from the bookshelf and stuffed it into his hand.

Ye Xiuquan took a look, this jade brave was warm in color and crystal clear, it was obviously a high-quality and precious jade article, how dare he accept it.

"No need, you should keep this baby for yourself."

"Brother Quan thinks it's not eye-catching?" Seeing his refusal, Mu Zongying's eyes turned red, and tears were about to roll down.

"No! I didn't mean that." Ye Xiuquan panicked, and quickly explained.

"It doesn't mean that. I don't want it. Brother Quan doesn't want it, and Zongying doesn't want it either." As he spoke, he made a gesture to smash the priceless jade brave to the ground.

"Wait!" Ye Xiuquan quickly snatched the jade brave into his arms, breaking out in a cold sweat.

But suddenly there was a sharp female voice behind him, which made him slip his hand in shock, and almost threw the Jade Pixiu to the ground.

"Bold slave, hurry up and put down His Royal Highness's things."

"Mommy, you scared Brother Quan." Mu Zongying frowned and stood up, blocking him behind. "Brother Quan, don't be afraid, she is my nanny, Mother Zhen."

"Uh..." Ye Xiuquan didn't know what to say as he looked at the woman in palace costume in front of him, so he could only bend down in a hurry to salute, holding the jade brave tightly in his hand, for fear of accidentally breaking it.

Staring at the Jade Pixiu in his hand, Madam Zhen's face turned serious, "Your Highness, this Jade Pixiu is a gift from the emperor for your first birthday, how can you let a servant hold it casually?!"

"That is what I want to give to him, and whoever I want to give it to, I don't have to ask."

Hearing this, Nanny Zhen's eyes widened in astonishment, and she wanted to say something else, but under Mu Zongying's stare, she closed her mouth.

"Is there anything you can do with me?" Mu Zongying asked again.

"My servant is here to remind you that it's time for dinner." When she was replying, Aunt Zhen still kept looking at Ye Xiuquan, as if she wanted to say something, but it was inconvenient to say it face to face.

"Let's go, Brother Quan and Zongying have dinner together."

In this weird atmosphere, Ye Xiuquan was dragged away by him in a daze, and only came back to his senses when he saw the table full of delicacies.

"Brother Quan, why don't you eat it? Could it be that the dishes are not to your liking?" Mu Zongying waved away the servants who were waiting on the side, and kept serving him dishes.

"No, I'll eat right away." Ye Xiuquan couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart as he ate the dishes in front of him.

Knowing that Zongying is the prince, he was worried that the difference in status would make him lose such a well-behaved and obedient brother as Zongying, but now he is relieved that Zongying is still as innocent and cute as when they met.

"Is it delicious?" Mu Zongying looked at him with a smile, but she didn't move a bite.

"Well, it's delicious. The food in the palace is much better than what I ate on the mountain." After eating a few more mouthfuls, seeing that Mu Zongying didn't move his chopsticks, Ye Xiuquan put some vegetables into his bowl. "Zongying, you eat too."

"As long as you like it, eat more."

After a meal, it took a lot of time.

Originally, Mu Zongying wanted to keep someone to sleep in the palace for one night, but Ye Xiuquan was worried that his adoptive father would miss him and insisted on going back. Mu Zongying couldn't force him to stay, so he sent someone to send him back.

"Your Highness, forgive me for talking too much, it's better not to make friends with people of unknown origin." When going to bed at night, Zhenmao took off his coat for him, but still couldn't help frowning to remind him.

"Mama, do you know who he is?" Mu Zongying asked, pursing her lips.

"I don't know, this servant, does this person have any background?"

"He is Feng Wanqiu's adoptive son." He snorted coldly, with a chill in his eyes.

From the moment he knew Ye Xiuquan's identity, his mother's concubine's face when she died kept lingering in his mind.For a moment, he wanted to pounce and kill his enemy, but he knew that he was no match for Feng Wanqiu.

Fortunately, there is never just one way to get revenge.

"It's him...then His Highness shouldn't make friends with him, Feng Wanqiu is the murderer who killed the empress!" Mother Zhen frowned to dissuade.

"Haha, it's better like this, that person is a pawn and can be used by me!" Mu Zongying laughed loudly.

It is the most unwise approach to confront head-on. Feng Wanqiu took away his favorite relative, so he wanted him to experience that pain.He wants to take revenge on him through that guy's adopted son with all his hatred and pain!

Now is just the beginning, trying to please and get close to Ye Xiuquan is just a means, he wants to make Feng Wanqiu experience boundless pain, when his status in Ye Xiuquan's heart surpasses that of Feng Wanqiu, this is the opportunity to do it.

The next day, Ye Xiuquan woke up just after dawn like usual, but when he opened his eyes, he saw an unexpected person.

"Brother Quan, good morning." Mu Zongying, who was dressed in brocade clothes, blinked his big black and white eyes, and was sitting by the bed and looking at him with a smile.

"Too...His Royal Highness..." He couldn't help rubbing his eyes, he thought he was still asleep.

"Didn't I tell you to call me Zongying?" Mu Zongying grumbled, but then smiled again, "Brother Quan, get up, Zongying has been waiting for you for a long time."

"I'm really sorry, Zongying, wait a minute, I'll go wash up now." Realizing that she was not dreaming, Ye Xiuquan blushed and got up quickly.

"Well, Zongying is waiting for Brother Quan." Looking at Ye Xiuquan's back, Mu Zongying smiled coldly.

After hurriedly changing into clean clothes and washing her face, Ye Xiuquan returned to the room.

At this time, the palace people had already brought breakfast, and the table was filled with exquisite snacks. He was really hungry, so he dragged Mu Zongying to sit at the table and started eating.

Mu Zongying got up early in the morning and came to the small courtyard where Ye Xiuquan lived. At this time, she was so hungry that she took a bite of each crystal dumpling. erase.

"Zongying is so pretty." That fair and tender face was smooth and supple, and he couldn't help touching Mu Zongying's face again.

"Of course, my father said that I look like my mother..." As he spoke, the smile receded from Mu Zongying's face, and instead was covered with a layer of sadness.

Knowing that he was thinking of his dead mother, Ye Xiuquan's heart twitched, and he quickly comforted him, "It's all my mouth, Zongying don't take it to heart."

Knowing that Zong Ying had just lost his mother, but brought up his sadness again, isn't that putting a knife in his heart?I am really careless.

He has also endured the pain of losing his mother. Until now, when he sees a woman who is similar in shape to his mother, he can't help but stop and take a second look, let alone the young Zongying...

"It's okay, everything is over. Although the mother and concubine are gone, there is still brother Quan accompanying Zongying." A bright smile appeared on Mu Zongying's face again, lighting up the whole room.

"That's good, Brother Quan will be with you from now on." Touching the cold little hand in front of him, Ye Xiuquan solemnly made a promise.

"Okay, okay." Mu Yingzong clapped his hands and cheered.No one would have guessed that under his innocent smile, there was a sinister intention hidden.

In a blink of an eye, Ye Xiuquan had been in the palace for nearly a month, and he was with Mu Zongying every day. The two of them read and played together, which made him more and more fond of this obedient and lovely child.

"Quan'er, the prince has brought something again?" Looking at the piles of boxes and gift boxes in the room, Feng Wanqiu was a little surprised.

"Yeah, I've tried to persuade you several times, but Zongying didn't listen." Ye Xiuquan fiddled with the novelties in the box. Although he liked it, he still put them back and put them away.

That day, the jade brave that Zongying gave him was already priceless, and with all these in front of him, he didn't know how to deal with it.

Returning it back would make Zongying unhappy, but if he took it back, he didn't even have a place to put it. Besides, he was going back to Medicine Valley in the future, so how could he take these things away?What a dilemma!

"The prince really likes you. These things are all treasures, and it's hard for ordinary people to see them."

"Well, Your Highness is smart and cute, Quan'er also likes him very much."

After getting along for many days, he found that Zongying was not only outstanding in appearance, but also much more flexible in his brain. He once told Zongying several important acupuncture points on the human body, and he remembered it immediately. It took half a day to recite it.

"Does Quan'er still remember Master?" Feng Wanqiu changed the topic and brought up the master he hadn't seen for several days.

"Of course I remember, but the adoptive father has news about my master? How is he in the Mu Palace?" Ye Xiuquan asked nervously, tugging at the corner of Feng Wanqiu's clothes.

"Your master has already cured Princess Mu's illness, but there are still some things to deal with, so it's inconvenient to leave."

"Then, can the adoptive father take Quan'er to meet the master?"

"That's fine, foster father hasn't seen your master for a while."

One big and one small went out of the palace, although Ye Xiuquan met the master smoothly, but Qiu Lichen told him to stay in the capital for a few days, and told him to just follow his adoptive father.

Even though he was reluctant to part with him, he was still obedient, obediently and gently pulling Qiu back to the palace.

As soon as he returned to the palace, he wanted to find Mu Zongying. When he came to the East Palace, he saw that the palace people who came in and out were all nervous as if they were facing a big enemy, as if something had happened.

He hurriedly stopped a palace servant, and after questioning, he realized that the crown prince had been poisoned. He broke out in a cold sweat, and rushed to Mu Zongying's bedroom without saying a word. As soon as he arrived outside the palace gate, he was met by the eunuch chief who was guarding there. Eunuch Ke stopped him.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into the prince's bedroom!" Eunuch Ke frowned and stared at him.

"I...I..." Ye Xiuquan desperately wanted to go in to see Mu Zongying, but he couldn't get around the other party's obstruction, which made him sweat profusely.

Eunuch Ke saw that he was hesitating, unable to speak clearly, so he pushed him out with a livid face, and was about to call for someone to drag him away, when a figure flew towards him suddenly.

"Quan'er, be careful." A pair of big hands supported Ye Xiuquan who was about to fall to the ground, and it was Feng Wanqiu who came after him.

"Father." He held onto Father's arm tightly before he stood still.

"Wind guard." Seeing that it was him, Eunuch Ke immediately changed his smiling face.

Having served the emperor for many years, he naturally knew that the wind guard in front of him was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and even had some special relationship, so he didn't dare to neglect him at all.

"He is my adopted son. He has followed Qiushen's medicine since he was a child. He heard that His Royal Highness was poisoned, so he came here to see." Although Feng Wanqiu was full of displeasure, he did not show it.

"It turned out to be the adoptive son of the guard of the wind. Look at the old slave's dog eyes. Please come in quickly, young master." Eunuch Ke laughed and stepped aside.

Although he didn't like the eunuch's obsequious and flattering appearance, but now Ye Xiuquan didn't bother to argue with him, bypassed Eunuch Ke, rushed into the prince's bedroom, and rushed to Mu Zongying's bed.

I saw the person lying on the bed, his small face was already covered with black air, his usually lively eyes were tightly closed at this moment, and he frowned and moaned in pain.

"His Royal Highness, Prince Ying!" He immediately changed his words, but couldn't hide the anxiety in his expression.

He grabbed Mu Zongying's wrist and checked his pulse, then opened his mouth, looked at the half-black root of his tongue, with a serious expression on his face.

"Quan'er, Your Highness's poison..."

"This poison is so powerful that Quan'er can't see it." Disappointed, Ye Xiuquan withdrew her hand, her face paled and her shoulders slumped.

In vain, he studied medicine with his master for four years, but he couldn't tell what kind of poison Zong Ying had.

At this moment, he felt deeply powerless, and could only helplessly watch Mu Zongying unconscious, unable to do anything.

"It's okay, wait for the imperial doctor to come and see, we will find out." Touching his head, Feng Wanqiu comforted him.

After half a cup of tea, the emperor arrived with the imperial doctor. After careful diagnosis and treatment, the imperial doctor said that he could only temporarily control the spread of the toxin, but could not cure it.The emperor was furious immediately when he heard the words, and asked someone to drag the imperial doctor out and chop him up.

"Hold on, Your Majesty, I have something that may be able to cure the prince's poison." Ye Xiuquan suddenly remembered something, and knelt down in front of the Emperor.

"Get up quickly, as long as you can save Zongying, I will reward you a lot." The emperor's face softened a lot, and he stretched out his hand to pull him up.

After getting permission, Ye Xiuquan didn't say any more, and pulled out a black string from his neck without hesitation. There was a black bead strung on the string. He pulled out the string, took the bead and stuffed it into Mu Zongying in the mouth.

"Quan'er, what did you feed His Highness?" Feng Wanqiu asked in confusion.

"That is my father's relic. I heard from the master that that bead has the effect of curing all diseases and all kinds of poisons." He clenched his fists nervously, and his eyes were all on Mu Zongying.

The master has been telling him that this bead must be carried with him to keep him healthy, but in order to save Zongying, he will do anything. He only hopes that this bead can really save Zongying's life...

Gradually, most of the blackness on Mu Zongying's face receded, and her closed eyelids moved, showing signs of waking up, which made everyone in the hall very happy.

"Zongying...the prince is awake." Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Ye Xiuquan excitedly held Mu Zongying's hand, waiting for him to wake up.

Just when there was silence in the hall, Mu Zongying woke up leisurely, his godless eyes swept around, and finally settled on him.

"All brothers..."

what happened to him?

I remember at lunch time, seeing his favorite lobster in the dishes, I got greedy and ate more, but I didn't expect to pass out when it was dark...

"You've been poisoned, don't move around." Gently pushing the person who wanted to sit up back on the bed, Ye Xiuquan shook his head, signaling him to lie down.

"Brother Quan, Zongying thought I would never see you again." Saying a word, she almost exhausted her whole body. Mu Zongying couldn't think about anything else at all, so she could only lie back obediently under Ye Xiuquan's comfort. bed.

It turned out that he was poisoned, no wonder he was so uncomfortable, who dared to poison him?Not a little courage!

"No, aren't you all right now? Stop talking and have a good rest." Caressing his pale face, Ye Xiuquan felt distressed.

"Yeah." Mu Zongying also felt tired, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

When the emperor saw his son wake up, Long Xin was overjoyed and wanted to reward Ye Xiuquan, but he refused. Seeing his excellent character, the emperor praised him and agreed to let him stay in the East Palace to take care of the prince.

After a thorough investigation of the matter, I found out that a certain concubine in the harem believed the rumors and believed that the reason why the emperor no longer visited these concubines, and even had the idea of ​​disbanding the harem, was because there were already successors in order to earn a living for herself. Hope, so he took the risk and sent people to buy poison from outside the palace, intending to murder the prince, but he didn't expect that his success would fall short because of Ye Xiuquan's appearance.

The emperor immediately bestowed the death on the concubine, and the peace in the palace was restored.

This time the turmoil calmed down, but Ye Xiuquan's heart was turbulent.He felt that he was very useless and could not help in times of crisis. If it weren't for the life-saving beads left by his father, Mu Zongying would have been a cold corpse long ago.

Every time he thought of this, his heart felt cramped. He really hoped that he could learn all the master's skills immediately so as to protect Zongying from being poisoned.

The first snow in winter fell quietly in the early morning, decorating the entire imperial palace into a silver world. Ye Xiuquan, who was afraid of the cold, put on thick cotton clothes when she got up in the morning, and hid in the room with the stove. go out.

"Brother Quan, let's go out to play." Unable to hold back his loneliness, Mu Zongying ran into his room and dragged him out.

A few days ago, she had been forced to stay in the bedroom to recuperate her body, and she couldn't even leave the door of the bedroom. Although Mu Zongying was young and old because of her status, she was still at the age of playing, and she was bored for more than two months, and she couldn't stand it anymore , so as soon as he could get out of bed today, he couldn't wait to find someone to play with him, and the object was naturally Ye Xiuquan whom he wanted to "please".

"I don't want it anymore. You are in good shape. You will catch the cold when you go out." Shaking his head, Ye Xiuquan refused to obey him.

It has been more than two months since Zongying was poisoned. Although the poison has been cured and Zongying's body has recuperated, he is still very worried.

The righteous father was right, the situation in the palace was complicated, some people even dared to poison the crown prince.Zongying was young, and it was hard to guarantee that he would not pay attention. If he was poisoned again, no other bead could save him.

"I'm fine, come out and play, the snow outside is so thick, let's have a snowball fight." Mu Zongying tugged on his sleeve without giving up.In the past, every time those palace people heard him say that he was going to have a snowball fight, they would warn him with worried faces. This year, they finally found someone who was willing to play with him, how could Mu Zongying give up.

Although before coming here, he warned himself in his heart that he did this only to close the relationship with Ye Xiuquan and achieve the purpose of revenge against Feng Wanqiu, but the expectation of playing seems to be completely overwhelmed at this moment The mood of revenge.

"Okay, wait for me." He couldn't resist him, and he was worried that something might happen if Mu Zongying played outside alone, so Ye Xiuquan had no choice but to agree.

Before going out, he took out another bracelet from the small box next to the bed, and put it on Mu Zongying's wrist in a serious manner, but the bracelet was of ordinary workmanship, and as the prince, Mu Zongying didn't like it at all, so he didn't say anything I want to take it off.

"What is this? There are many styles of bracelets in the palace. I don't lack this."

"Wait, there is a mystery in this bracelet, look." A gap was opened from one end of the bracelet, and a few black pills rolled out from the inside. The inside of the bracelet was actually hollow!

"What is this?" Mu Zongying looked at the pill curiously and asked.

"This is the anti-poison pill. If you encounter someone poisoning you again, take one pill and take it. It's not a unique poison. This medicine can cure it." Ye Xiuquan explained, and carefully put the pill back in. in the bracelet.

These anti-poison pills were obtained from Master at Mu Wang Mansion a few days ago. He knew that his medical skills had not yet reached home, but he was worried that Zong Ying would have another accident, so he asked Master to make this pill. The bracelet was also made outside the palace. Yes, naturally not as refined as in the palace.

"Brother Quan is so kind." Listening to the other party explaining the reason for the bracelet, Mu Zongying felt her heart warm, she threw herself into his arms, and buried her head in his chest to rub.In his impression, only the concubine mother treated him so well. After the concubine mother passed away, there was only Ye Xiuquan who treated him this way now.

At this moment, he forgot about his hatred, and only had warmth in his heart. He only hoped that Ye Xiuquan would always be like this, and only treat him well.

"If I'm not nice to you, who else can I be nice to?" Ye Xiuquan smiled lightly as she stroked the top of his head.

Throughout the winter, Ye Xiuquan lived happily. Mu Zongying took him around the entire palace, but he did not forget his master, and he did not forget to go back to the Valley of Medicine to study medicine.

"Brother Quan, why are you leaving?" Mu Zongying rushed over immediately when she heard that Ye Xiuquan was leaving.

Because of running in a hurry, his little face was flushed and he was still panting.

"Brother Quan wants to go back to the valley to learn medical skills from Master, so that he can protect Zongying in the future." Looking at the anxious little man beside him, he smiled.

Although he was reluctant to part with Zong Ying, he had to learn a skill to be eligible to come back to accompany him.

"No, Zongying, don't want the whole brother to leave." Mu Zongying took his hand and shook it vigorously, feeling flustered.His plan has just begun, and Ye Xiuquan is about to leave, so how should he sing the next play?

Although he was grateful to Ye Xiuquan for saving his life, but his mother's feud was irreconcilable, and he could only blame this man for accepting Feng Wanqiu as his adoptive father!

"Zongying is good, Brother Quan will come back." But Ye Xiuquan didn't know what he was thinking, only thought that Mu Zongying was making the child angry, so he had to hug him, pat his back, and comfort him softly.

"No, just don't."

But Mu Zongying became stubborn and didn't listen to anyone's words. In addition to his status as the prince, no one dared to insist, which made everyone feel embarrassed.

In the end, the emperor found out about this and put Mu Zongying under house arrest in the East Palace. Ye Xiuquan was able to pack his luggage and leave. Before leaving, he took away nothing but the jade brave that Mu Zongying had given him.
