Saintess, he is a handsome boy

=======================================

The bruises on his face are not serious, just light.Luo Ning went forward and rubbed some ointment with a whitening effect to cover it up a little.

After he came back from the palace, besides dealing with official duties, he took Qiao Shiliu to play with the children.Xiao Shengxi stayed in the palace for two days and felt a little bored.

While eating the sweet cake, he said to Luo Ning: "Uncle Wang, did you forget something?"

Luo Ning and Qiao Shiliu looked at each other, neither of them knew what they had forgotten.

Only Xiao Shengxi continued to say: "You didn't send me to school today, Daddy will beat me if he finds out!"

Luo Ning opened his mouth, speechless.It seems that the child was abducted from the gate of the school yesterday, but today he forgot about it.

He said stiffly: "You are so young, what are you doing in school?"

"Listen to the master's lectures and learn to write." Xiao Shengxi said seriously.

Luo Ning thought about it, it seems that he also went to the Wangu Temple to study at the age of three, and at that time he followed his master to study and practice martial arts every day.Xiao Shengxi is already four years old, she should really start studying and practicing martial arts.

Luo Ning said: "You are studying in an academy, so who will teach you martial arts?"

Xiao Sheng shook her head sadly: "Daddy won't let me practice martial arts. He said that people who practice martial arts will either kill people or be killed in the future. There is no end to grievances and grievances. It's better to be a scholar and stay away from those who beat and beat me." The disputes between Jianghu and Shasha."

"If you don't practice martial arts, won't you be killed? If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, what should you do if you encounter danger? If you don't have time to run, you will die." Luo Ning said.

Xiao Shengxi ate the sweet cake calmly, and seemed not worried at all about what Luo Ning said.He said: "I'm not afraid. Daddy said, he will remove all obstacles for me."

Xiao Shengxi lowered her head while talking, seemed to realize her slip of the tongue, shook her head to deliberately change the subject, and said, "It's too boring, I'm going to play with Uncle Ye."

Luo Ning didn't think he could get anything out of a child's mouth, but Xiao Shengxi's last sentence caught his attention.

Clear all obstacles?What obstacle?How to clean up?Who is he?What is he going to do?Will what he is going to do threaten the safety of the royal family?Or... he is also related to the Dark Witch Valley?

Luo Ning waved his hand, motioning for Qiao Shiliu to take Xiao Shengxi to Ming Ye's courtyard.Then he called Qiao Shiwu to inquire about the situation on the other side of Broken Soul Cliff.

"Same as three years ago, there has been no change since the closure of the valley," Qiao Shiwu said.

If it has nothing to do with the Dark Wu Valley, could it be a spy from another country or a traitor?Luo Ning felt that it was still necessary to investigate this Mr. Sheng carefully.

The child is innocent, and if Xiao Sheng was implicated by his father and lost his life, it would be too wronged.Luo Ning had long regarded Xiao Shengxi as a substitute for Xiao Lingxi, and he didn't want anything to happen to Xiao Shengxi.

But if Shengli really has a problem, getting rid of Shengli and keeping Xiaosheng by his side is also a matter of course.In that case...seems good too.

Xiao Shengxi clamored to take a bath before going to bed, and asked Ming Ye to bathe him by name.

Luo Ning really didn't have a good rest last night, so he simply asked the servant to bring hot water to Ming Ye's room, and planned to let the little guy sleep in Ming Ye's room tonight.

Unfortunately, Xiao Sheng is too young to take a bath in an adult's tub.The servant brought the largest laundry tub in the mansion, washed it clean and scalded it with boiling water, and then moved it to Ming Ye's room.

The child sweats easily when he moves around. He didn't take a bath yesterday, but he was able to soak in warm water for a while today. The little guy was so comfortable that he almost fell asleep.

Ming Ye gently scrubbed him with a cloth towel, and when he wiped his thigh, he found that there seemed to be an obvious birthmark on the inner side of Xiao Shengxi's thigh.

"Does it look like a butterfly?" Xiao Sheng said with a smile.

Ming Ye nodded: "Like."

"Daddy said that this birthmark cannot be seen by others, so I asked you to help me take a bath." Xiao Sheng said again.

Ming Ye thought for a while and asked, "Is this birthmark important?"

Xiao Shengxi rolled her eyes and said, "I don't know either, Daddy only said to keep it a secret."

"Okay, uncle understands, and will help Xiao Sheng keep it a secret." Ming Ye said.

Luo Ning finished his business and was about to go back to his room to rest, when he heard a report from the family at the door that Mr. Sheng asked to see him.It's a coincidence that it's better to come here. Luo Ning was planning to investigate this person, so this person took the initiative to send him to his door.

Now that you're here, let's stay.

Luo Ning ordered Qiao Shiwu to take Shengli directly to his yard, and the two met each other without embarrassment while lighting the lamp in the yard.

Luo Ning sat on the stone bench, and when Sheng Li saw Li, he spread his hands and signaled him to sit opposite him.

Sheng left straight to the point: "I heard from Boss Qiao that Ah Xi is here."

"Well, yes. So what?" Luo Ning said lightly.

"Naturally take him home." Sheng Li said.

Luo Ning smiled slightly, and said: "I'm afraid it won't work. This king and Xiao Shengxi are very close, and have already recognized him as his adopted son. Xiao Shengxi also promised to stay with this king, and will not leave for the time being."

Sheng Li curled his lips, but he wasn't smiling: "My lord recognizes Ah Xi as his adopted son, did you get my father's consent?"

Luo Ning sneered: "Why, to be the adopted son of this king, no matter how many people ask for it, you still want to refuse it?"

Sheng Li smiled: "Naturally, I would not dare to reject the prince. Since the prince likes it, it is naturally Ah Xi's blessing to be the prince's adopted son. But it is getting late, can the prince let me take Ah Xi home?"

"My lord said it just now, it won't work." Luo Ning said with a smile.

Sheng Li seemed to realize something suddenly, and said: "In this case, let Ah Xi stay for another day, and I will pick him up tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.Luo Ning sat in the original position, tilted his head slightly, and Qiao Shiwu and Qiao Shiliu appeared in front of Sheng Li in an instant.

Qiao Shiwu made a "please" gesture and said, "Mr. Sheng, my prince is very hospitable and hospitable. I will let you stay in the palace for a few days. Please..."

There is a hut at the corner of the Buddhist hall, which is very close to Luo Ning's bedroom.Sheng Li's body showed that he was not a martial arts practitioner, so Luo Ning put him by his side with confidence.

So after Shengli entered this courtyard, Luo Ning didn't intend to let him out.

When Qiao Shiwu took Sheng Li to the hut, Sheng Li noticed the memorial tablet next to the big Buddha statue at a glance.Although the tablet was covered with a red cloth, the person who can pay tribute to that position should be very important to Luo Ning.

"That's..." Sheng Li turned his head to look at the tablet and asked.

Qiao Shiwu tightly shut his mouth and waved his hand to him, indicating that he could not speak or ask.

Although very curious, it was someone else's private matter after all, and Sheng Li didn't intend to get to the bottom of it, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The hut on the side is not used for living at all, it only has a small couch and a small table, and there are objects for offerings piled up in the corner.The hut has no windows and is dimly lit.If the door is closed, it is like a prison cell.

As soon as Qiao Shiwu opened the door, he scratched his head in embarrassment. The conditions here are probably a little better than the cells in the imperial city.
