After dying early, I traveled to ancient times and became a boy

"Have you ever thought about bringing Xie Ling back?" Ye Xunqing said, "After all, he is the legitimate master of the palace. You are at most a cuckoo in his nest."

Xie Hui was not angry at all when Ye Xunqing said that he was occupying the magpie's nest, because he was indeed occupying the magpie's nest.

To be honest, he really didn't care about the position of prince at all. He had thought about running away secretly back then.

"Actually, I don't want to be a prince at all. I just told you, although being a prince is glorious, it's just glory." Xie Hui said with a wry smile, "Even Huaixin can go out at will, but I can't. I either stay here or go to the capital. If I take a few steps, I'll be suspected of treason. Who wants to be a prince? I wanted to run away back then, but I didn't."

"What happened? Were you caught?" Ye Xunqing grabbed two pieces of cake, stuffed one into Feng Jingheng's mouth and the other into his own mouth, looking like he was enjoying a good show.

"How could that be possible?" Xie Hui gestured with his arms and said, "I had been in the palace for nearly two years at the time, and I had already built up a lot of muscle. I was planning to sneak away with some silver one dark and windy night, but the old prince fell ill."

"After all, he raised me, so I planned to take care of him for a while until he recovered. But I didn't expect that his illness would never get better. He was either taking medicine or preparing new medicine all day, so it was not easy for me to slip away."

"Later, his condition improved a little. I was about to slip away when my wife showed up." Xie Hui said with a silly smile, "You have no idea how handsome Huai Xin was in his twenties. Dressed in white, leading a horse, carrying a silver spear, he just appeared outside the courtyard wall. I was on top of the wall, and he was outside."

Ye Xunqing thought about that scene and said, "Wow, so romantic."

"No," Xie Hui said, "He thought I was a thief and shot me back."

Ye Xunqing and Feng Jingheng: “…” Serves you right.

As the heir to the royal palace, he deserves to be arrested for walking over the wall instead of going through the main gate.

"Then the people in the palace discovered that I had climbed over the wall and carried me before the old prince. The old prince thought I was being naughty and gave me a lecture. He told me a lot about my father, Xie Ling, and said that he was also naughty when he was a child."

Xie Hui frowned and said, "The old prince must have missed Xie Ling very much, but he just couldn't bring himself to reconcile with Xie Ling. As a result, he never got to see Xie Ling until his death."

"I still remember his last words. He told me that he felt sorry for Xie Ling and the old princess, and that he was going to atone for his sins to them."

"Then you should find Xie Ling." Ye Xunqing brought the topic back. "The old prince is dead, and Xie Ling is old now. He must have let go of his hatred."

"Then I have to find him too." Xie Hui was not very enthusiastic. "Hey, maybe he has already died. Besides, there are reasons why I can't find him now."

Ye Xunqing asked, "What?"

Xie Hui whispered, "It's about my wife. Huaixin has been looking for Xie Ling. He said he must see Xie Ling and ask him something. If Xie Ling comes back and Huaixin leaves after asking the questions, then I will be miserable. Huaixin is a very stubborn person, and I can't beat him. If he wants to leave, then I will really be without a wife."

Ye Xunqing felt that there was a gap in information between the two people. "Didn't you ask Commander Zhao what question he wanted to ask?"

"I asked, but Huaixin didn't tell me."

Ye Xunqing thought of what Zhao Huaixin had said to him before, and said, "I heard Commander Zhao mention something before. He said he wanted to find Xie Ling to fulfill a promise."

Xie Hui shook off his dejected mood and asked, "What what?"

Ye Xunqing replied, "Xie Ling once promised Commander Zhao that if one day he became homeless, he could come to the Annan Palace and Xie Ling would adopt him as his adopted son."

"What!" Xie Hui jumped up, "Why didn't I know that?"

Ye Xunqing asked him to calm down, "I thought you knew."

"I don't know!" Xie Hui was about to go crazy. "Is it just because of this question? Do you really have to hide it from me?"

Ye Xunqing reminded him, "Based on Commander Zhao's way of thinking, he thinks he should keep it a secret from you. After all, you are Xie Ling's biological son."

If Xie Ling adopted Zhao Huaixin as his adopted son, then Xie Hui and Zhao Huaixin would be brothers, the kind that would be included in the family tree.

The grace of giving birth is not as great as the grace of raising a child. If Xie Hui and Zhao Huaixin become brothers, then their being together will be seen as incest by outsiders.

Especially the royal family.

"Is that really the only reason?" Xie Hui was a little confused. "So what should I call Huaixin? Brother?"

"Oh, younger man, quite interesting." Ye Xunqing still had the mind to tease Xie Hui.

Xie Hui said anxiously, "My fellow villager, you have to help me find out. This concerns the future of Huaixin and me."

Ye Xunqing was about to speak when he saw a man approaching from a distance. "Oh, Commander Zhao is here. You might as well ask him directly." He shouted, "Commander Zhao, please come here quickly. The prince has something important to ask you."

Zhao Huaixin quickened his pace and walked over. "What's the matter?"

Xie Hui suddenly didn't dare to ask, "I, I'm fine..."

Ye Xunqing decided to send the Buddha to the west, "Just what you told me last time, you are waiting for Xie Ling, why are you waiting for him?"

Zhao Huaixin's expression collapsed, his eyes a little vague, "I, what did I tell you? I don't know, I don't remember."

Ye Xunqing could tell that the man was lying, so he said, "You told me that you were waiting for Xie Ling. That's because he promised you that if one day you had nowhere to go, you could come here and wait for him, and he would adopt you as his adopted son."

The tips of Zhao Huaixin's ears turned red, "I... I..."

He would not lie, he would tell whatever he wanted to say. Although he wanted to deny it in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud.

"I..." Zhao Huaixin said dejectedly, "Yes, he...he promised to adopt me as his adopted son. He said his child was dead, but, but his child is still alive, and he doesn't need another child. I stayed here just to ask him, if he...if he is willing to have two children..."

"No way, do we need to consider this matter for twenty years?" Ye Xunqing felt anxious for him.

"Based on the people I know, I think Xie Ling is willing." Feng Jingheng said, "I also have someone who looks very similar to the one you described. His surname is also Xie, and his name is Xie Lingyin. He's about the same age and should have similar experience. He has a very powerful guard who knows how to use the Ling family spear, and he taught me how to use it."

Xie Hui and Zhao Huaixin were both stunned and asked in unison, "Really?"

Feng Jingheng said, "Yes, the person who taught me the Ling family spear was named Jiang Ruisheng."

Xie Hui had a complicated expression. "If I remember correctly, back then, Xie Ling... the guard beside my father was called Xie Ruisheng. His original surname was Jiang, and Ruisheng was the name my father later gave him."
