Adhere to the gentleman's principles

After getting on the carriage, Li Ziyan gently placed Yuan'er on the carriage seat and asked, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Junning forced a smile and nodded, "I'm fine, don't worry! It's just... I thought that after I killed the people from Shamen, they would only come after me for revenge. I thought that no matter how bad they were, they would be able to distinguish their grudges. I thought that the people from Shamen only had a bad name, but their hearts were not that bad! Ha, it seems that I am naive. People will do anything for the sake of profit. Obviously, I killed those people, I should have let them come after me, but I was careless! The human heart is the most unpredictable. It's all my fault. Why am I so stupid!"

Li Ziyan grabbed Zhao Junning's hand and said, "Don't blame you. There are no completely good people in this world. Am I not one of them? I roam the world and kill people without blinking an eye. But you are not wrong, and neither is your entire sect! I also contributed to the killing of his sect. The human heart is the most unacceptable thing in this world, and the thing that we should not expect the most! There are bad people in this world!" Zhao Junning listened to Li Ziyan's comfort and raised his head and said, "Thank you."

Arriving at the Prince's Mansion, after Zhao Junning got off the carriage, Li Ziyan carried Yuan'er out of the carriage. Fuling greeted her at the door: "Princess, are you okay? Where are Master Hongmei and Master Yazhi?" Zhao Junning said, "Let's go in first!" After entering the mansion, Li Ziyan handed Yuan'er to Su Mu. Zhao Junning shook her head and said, "We found Yuan'er, but we didn't find Master Yazhi and Master. However, I think they should have escaped. It's just that the journey is long. Fuling, you should send some servants who know Master Hongmei and Master Yazhi to keep an eye on the city gate in the next few days!" Fuling nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I got it, Princess!" At this time, Meng Xiangning came over: "Junning, you are back? How are your Master Hongmei and your Master Yazhi?" Zhao Junning shook her head: "Master Yazhi and Master rescued the few brothers who were not killed and left, but they haven't been found yet!" Meng Xiangning comforted him, "It's okay, as long as you're not in danger! There are many rooms in the mansion, don't panic! Mother is here for everything!" Zhao Junning nodded.

After running for a day and a night, Master Hongmei and Prophet Ya finally reached the border of the imperial city. Master Hongmei said, "We are almost there. Jun Ning must have someone waiting for us near the city gate. Let's go!" It was almost dusk when the two finally reached the city gate. The servants who were waiting for them saw them and ran to greet them. After entering the city, the servants went straight to the prince's mansion: "Princess, princess... here... here!"

After hearing this, Zhao Junning ran out of the mansion to greet them. When she saw Master Hongmei and Master Yai, she hugged them like a child and said, "Master and Uncle Master!" The two old men comforted the little girl in their arms. After entering the mansion, Meng Xiangning prepared meals for them. After the meal, Master Yai bowed and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of the Crown Princess, but it would be a bit of a nuisance for us to stay in the mansion, so we can just stay in the city's medical clinic!" Meng Xiangning said, "There are many rooms in the mansion, so we won't bother you!" Zhao Nian walked over and said, "Yes, the two seniors and Senior Baicao have taken good care of my Junning. You can live in the mansion. All of Junning's fellow apprentices can live here together!"

The Cliff Prophet smiled and said, "Your Highness, that's not true. It's just that it's not appropriate for us to live here with so many people. The Baicao Medical Center is big. Besides, Jun Ning is in the imperial city now. There are many people in this city with bad intentions. It's not good for Jun Ning, and it's even worse for the Prince's Mansion!" Zhao Nian said, "It's okay, let's live here!" Hongmei Zhenren said, "How about this, we live in the medical center, but the Prince's Mansion will take care of our meals, right? I'm used to my freedom, and I'm really uncomfortable living in the Prince's Mansion! I won't cause trouble for you here!"

Zhao Junning pulled on the sleeve of Hongmei Zhenren: "Master~" Hongmei Zhenren said meekly: "Girl, be obedient. You are in a very difficult situation now. Someone is trying to find out about you. You have to be careful. Now the master is in the city and can help you."

After saying this, the Cliff Prophet bowed to Zhao Nian, Meng Xiangning and his wife and said, "Thank you again, Crown Prince and Crown Princess, for your hospitality!" Zhao Junning thought for a moment and said, "Then let Yuan'er stay. I brought Yuan'er back to my sect. He is still young. I can take care of him at home and keep my mother company from time to time to relieve her boredom!"

The Cliff Prophet looked at Zhao Junning and said, "Okay, it's not appropriate for Yuan'er to follow us. After all, she is still a child!" After that, they went to the clinic! Zhao Junning turned to look at Meng Xiangning and Zhao Nian and said, "Father and Mother, I want to discuss something with you?"

The two asked, "What's the matter?" Zhao Junning was thinking about how to start. Meng Xiangning smiled and scratched Zhao Junning's nose: "Do you want mother to recognize Yuan'er as her own child?" Zhao Junning nodded. Meng Xiangning and Zhao Nian looked at each other and said, "Girl, your father and I discussed this at noon today. We will recognize her as our own child!" Zhao Junning's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Really? Thank you, father and mother!"

After saying that, she hugged Meng Xiangning and smiled at Zhao Nian. Zhao Nian thought she wanted to hug him too, so she opened her arms, but Zhao Junning left. Meng Xiangning patted Zhao Nian's arm and said, "They're all gone!" Zhao Nian awkwardly withdrew his arm and faced the direction where Zhao Junning had gone: "I told your mother about this plan, and it was my idea, you girl!"

Zhao Junning replied, "I know. Thank you, father!" Zhao Nian pointed in the direction where Zhao Junning went and complained to Meng Xiangning, "Look at her, this damn girl. I came up with such a brilliant plan but she didn't praise me. I treated her like a treasure when she was a child, but now she is only sixteen years old and she is like this!" Meng Xiangning asked, "What's wrong with our Junning? She dares to do this just because you spoil her! She is still a child!" Zhao Nian put his arm around Meng Xiangning's shoulders, "Yes, she is still a child!"

In Zhao Junning's room, Zhao Junning looked at the sleeping Yuan'er and said, "That's good. Yuan'er is no longer a child without a father or a mother!" Fuling looked at Zhao Junning and said, "Go to sleep soon!" Zhao Junning replied, "Yes!" The next day, "Yuan'er, how about I be your mother in the future?" Meng Xiangning asked with a gentle tone and a gentle smile. Yuan'er looked at Zhao Junning timidly. Zhao Junning squatted down and touched Yuan'er's head and said, "Don't be afraid. This is my senior sister's mother and she will be Yuan'er's mother in the future, okay?" After hearing this, Yuan'er turned around and called out cautiously, "Mom!" Meng Xiangning was overjoyed after hearing this. Zhao Nian also said quickly, "Yuan'er, I will be your daddy from now on!" Yuan'er glanced at Zhao Junning and confirmed it, then called out firmly with a childish voice, "Daddy!"

Zhao Junhao was very surprised to have a younger brother for the first time. He walked towards Yuan'er, squatted down and looked at him: "Yuan'er, I am your brother, you can also call me brother!" Zhao Junning patted Zhao Junhao: "Be gentle!" Yuan'er looked at Zhao Junhao and liked him very much and shouted: "Brother!" Zhao Junhao was very happy to hear that and picked up Yuan'er and spun around! Meng Xiangning stood up and saluted and said: "Father and mother, why don't you give Yuan'er another name!"

Zhao Nian stroked his beard and said, "Let's name this pitiful child Junze! Let him choose his own life in the future. As long as he doesn't go astray, everything else is fine!" Zhao Junhao looked at Yuan'er in his arms and said, "Junze, I have a younger brother, haha, I have a younger brother!" Fuling approached Zhao Junning and said, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness Prince Nanyang likes him so much!" Zhao Junning said, "After being the younger one for so long, he wants to be the older brother, but fortunately, they don't reject each other."

"Sir, do you want to ask something?" Qin Zhuoyuan said to Lu Wu who was sitting opposite him. Lu Wu looked at Qin Zhuoyuan and said, "Let me ask you, is Zhao Junning the same as Qinghuang? Is Li Ziyan the same as Jiang Ziling?" Qin Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "Sir, if they are or not, you will know if you try it." Lu Wu slapped the table and said, "Today, I passed by the largest clinic in your imperial city and saw Zhao Junning and the Cliff Prophet Hongmei Zhenren!" Qin Zhuoyuan took a sip of tea and poured more for Lu Wu: "Junning! She has been learning medicine since she was a child. This clinic was bought when she was fourteen years old. She was a disciple of the Baicao Medical Immortal of Baicao Medical Manor!" Qin Zhuoyuan looked at Lu Wu. After Lu Wu drank the tea, he said, "It's interesting. Young Master Qin, I have made friends with you!" Qin Zhuoyuan smiled and said, "So do I." In the clinic, Zhao Junning was busy preparing medicinal materials, and Li Ziyan watched from the side and Mo Yu followed. Hongmei Zhenren walked to Fuling and asked, "Girl, that boy is quite fond of her. He has been looking at Junning since he came here! Not bad, I like her."

Fuling replied, "I think so too. Ever since Young Marquis Li came to the Prince's Mansion last time, he has been even more concerned about my princess. He will follow her wherever she goes!" True Man Hongmei nodded, walked towards Li Ziyan, moved closer to let Mo Yu go to Fuling's side, stood beside Li Ziyan and nudged Li Ziyan's arm, "Look, look at this delicate girl, she is so beautiful! Who wouldn't want to marry her after seeing her! You kid are not bad, but you'd better express your feelings quickly!" Although Zhao Junning had been preparing the herbs, he knew that Li Ziyan had been staring at him, and he was very happy in his heart, and he would glance at Li Ziyan from time to time.
