Chapter 382: Hit Someone

"Qian Rongsheng, look at the jade pendant on that person. Does it look familiar?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.

Qian Rongsheng didn't dare to be negligent. He looked over carefully, and then his heart skipped a beat.

"Your Majesty, that jade pendant seems to have been given to the royal family by the late emperor."

Although Qian Rongsheng only took a glance, he knew very well about the emperor's things. The previous emperor rewarded the two princes and seven nephews of the royal family.

"Which prince is that?" asked the emperor.

Qian Rongsheng said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, it seems to be His Royal Highness the Prince of Wei, and the person beside him seems to be the Taoist boy of the Imperial Master."

The emperor's face suddenly turned ugly.

The people around the King of Wei and the Imperial Master are getting involved with each other. This doesn't seem like a normal signal at all.

"Hasn't the Imperial Master been in seclusion for many days? Why is his Taoist boy still walking around outside? Send someone to investigate this matter." said the emperor.

The carriage finally returned to the palace before the palace gate was locked.

The emperor was in a hurry to deal with official business, so he asked Qian Rongsheng to send Niu Niu to Shoukang Palace.

From a distance, Niu Niu saw someone holding a lantern and waiting in front of the gate of Shoukang Palace.

"Girl, you are finally back. You may not know that the Queen Mother has been sending people to inquire outside since the afternoon." Yan Cao said in a low voice.

Niu Niu skipped into Shoukang Palace. The empress dowager was relieved when she saw the little girl.

"Your Majesty, you are worried about Niu Niu, and Niu Niu is also worried about you. You are afraid that she will leave the palace and never come back. It seems that you are worrying in vain." Nanny Sun said with a smile.

The Queen Mother took the little girl into her arms and said, "My dear, I can't even enjoy my meals when you're not around for a day."

"Grandma Queen Mother, how about I have another meal with you? I don't have dinner at home either." Niu Niu said.

After hearing what she said, the Queen Mother actually felt hungry.

Nanny Sun had been looking forward to this event for a long time and had asked the imperial kitchen to prepare the food. The dishes were delivered very quickly.

It was already later than Niu Niu's usual meal time. Seeing Niu Niu eating so happily, the Queen Mother felt that these familiar meals became delicious.

Nanny Sun looked at this scene and felt relieved.

The next morning, Concubine Xian had already come with Qin Jingshu and was waiting.

When Niuniu saw her friend looking depressed, she immediately ran over and asked, "Is there anyone in your family bullying you?"

Qin Jingshu shook her head. She had spent the whole day at home yesterday, listening to words like "competing for favor, competing for face, competing for glory" all day long. She just felt annoyed, but she didn't listen to any rebuttal from the people who were talking.

Niuniu held her hand and asked again: "I didn't bully you, did I say something nasty?"

Qin Jingshu pursed her lips, not knowing whether she should say it or not.

Niuniu immediately said, "That's it."

Qin Jingshu lowered her head and said, "It's okay, I'll do as you say. If you don't like it, I won't listen."

Seeing that she still looked depressed, Niuniu took the initiative to say, "Let's compete to see who can get to Baisunyuan first."

The little girl's idea was simple. She felt that as long as she ran, Qin Jingshu would be able to forget her worries.

Qin Jingshu didn't want to move, so she said, "Forget it."

Niuniu: "Are you afraid of losing to me?"

Qin Jingshu had always run faster than Niuniu, and when she heard this, she was immediately excited and said, "I won't lose!"

The two little girls looked at each other and then ran away together. The virtuous concubine who was following behind them was used to a life of luxury. Seeing the two children running away, she was immediately very anxious and hurriedly said to the servants beside her: "Hurry up and catch up, don't let anything happen again."

The two little girls were running happily on the palace road.

Qin Jingshu likes the feeling of running. As long as she runs, all she can hear is the whistling wind and the clear bell-like laughter of her friends.

Wrapped in the wind, Qin Jingshu felt that she had become free. She was no longer a bird in a cage controlled by her mother. She seemed to have become a real living person.

"Oh!"

The voice of her little friend made Qin Jingshu stop. She gasped for breath and looked back, only to see Niu Niu bumping into a little boy.

Niu Niu was still standing there, but the little boy had already fallen to the ground.

Qin Jingshu was originally leading by several dozen meters, but she ignored her tiredness and ran back: "Niuniu, did you get hit? Does it hurt? Are you okay?"

Niuniu shook her head and looked at the little boy lying on the ground groaning helplessly: "I'm sorry, I didn't see you suddenly come out."

This palace road intersects with another road. Niu Niu was so focused on catching up with Qin Jingshu who had defeated her that she did not notice the person who suddenly appeared.

Li Xuan was lying on the ground at this time, and he felt that the scene in front of him was blurry.

"I remember you!" Niu Niu recognized the man in front of her as Li Xuan, whom she had met once in Baiyun Town.

"I...I'm in so much pain..." Li Xuan said with difficulty.

Niu Niu and Qin Jingshu hurriedly helped him sit up, one on each side.

"Where does it hurt? I'll take you to see a doctor!" Niu Niu said.

Li Xuan shook his head: "My whole body hurts."

Li Xuan didn't know how Niu Niu hit him. At this moment, he just felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart. He was obviously not that weak, but he was knocked down by a girl who was younger than him.

"Girls, girls! Slow down!"

The palace maids sent by Concubine Xian to chase the two little girls finally caught up, and when they saw this situation, they were also stunned.

The little boy in front of him was wearing clothes embroidered with gold and silver, with a emerald green jade pendant hanging around his waist. Just by looking at his face, he knew that he was definitely not an ordinary eunuch, but a member of the royal family who came to the palace to study.

Now the rumor is spreading throughout the palace that there is a future emperor among these royal family members, and he was injured by his own daughter. It is still unknown how the palace behind this child will investigate.

"Sisters, can you help me carry him to the Imperial Hospital?" Niu Niu asked.

The maids haven't taken any action yet.

Li Xuan said, "I can walk by myself. I don't need anyone to carry me! I certainly don't want a woman to carry me!"

The eight-year-old boy has a stubborn look on his face, which only gives people a headache.

No one else knew how to persuade him. Only Niuniu, the culprit, looked at him with confusion and asked, "You don't want a woman to hug you? Has your mother never hugged you?"

Li Xuan: …

When Niu Niu saw that he didn't answer, her eyes became sympathetic again.

This time it was Li Xuan who was confused. What did the look of the little girl in front of him mean?
Niuniu sighed and said, "How pitiful! You have never been hugged by your mother."

Li Xuan didn't want to be pitiful in the eyes of others, so he immediately explained: "No! I'm just old, so I don't want anyone to hold me. My mother held me before!"

After he got angry, he felt that the pain in his body seemed to be less severe. He only hated that he didn't have the energy to yell, otherwise he would have had a good argument with Niu Niu.

Niuniu reached out and touched his forehead, saying, "Don't worry, I believe your mother has held you. The most important thing for you now is to see a doctor."

The virtuous concubine, who arrived late, felt overwhelmed when she saw Li Xuan sitting on the ground with his hands bruised.
