Chapter 226: Childhood Experiences in Danger
In addition to the matter of Prince Lin, the monk also talked about Li Jiren.
No one else knew about that incident except Li Jiren himself.
Li Jiren couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he recalled the dangerous situation he encountered when he was six years old.
When he was three or four years old, he was sent to Luocheng and raised by Emperor Huiren himself.
All day long, he was either being carried to court by Emperor Huiren, or attending classes in the Shangshufang, so he had much less time to practice martial arts.
He felt that his skills were about to fall behind.
Emperor Huiren said that children should not be too tired, as it would hurt their bones, so he only allowed them to practice kung fu for one hour every day.
But when his father sent him here, he asked him to practice kung fu for three hours every day.
He could neither break his promise to his father nor refute the kindness of his grandfather, so he could only practice secretly at night.
But there were too many people in the palace, so he could only use the excuse that he couldn't get used to living in the palace and wanted to move back to Prince Lin's mansion.
Emperor Huiren could not bear his constant pleading, and since Prince Lin's Mansion was very close to the imperial palace, he agreed.
After returning to Prince Lin's mansion, his life became much more comfortable. The only thing he was impatient about was having to deal with Li Zhenyu every day.
Prince An was in poor health and had been recuperating in Luo City for many years.
I would occasionally go to my fiefdom, but I would come back within two months.
The young Li Zhenyu could not stand the scorching heat in Bashu County.
That year, Prince An was once again carried back from Bashu County.
When Li Zhenyu saw that Li Jiren could stay in Beijing, he burst into tears.
He hugged Emperor Huiren's thighs, his tears and snot smeared on the dragon robe, and he cried and shouted that he also wanted to stay in the capital and never go to Bashu again.
Emperor Huiren was so disgusted that he pulled his robe and wanted the eunuch to take Li Zhenyu away.
But Li Zhenyu refused to let go and accused Emperor Huiren of being partial and only loving Li Jiren and not him.
Emperor Huiren was troubled by the harassment and promised Li Zhenyu that Li Zhenyu would not have to go to Bashu County again before Li Jiren left the capital.
Li Zhenyu was very proud after his success, and he often pestered Li Jiren afterwards.
Emperor Huiren knew that Li Zhenyu was uneducated, so he asked the eunuch to keep a close eye on him and strictly forbade Li Zhenyu to get close to Li Jiren.
But when Li Jiren returned to live in Prince Lin's mansion, it gave Li Zhenyu the opportunity to pester him again.
Li Zhenyu still argued that Prince Qing had been pestering Prince Lin all day long, and Prince Lin had never said anything. Why should Li Jiren stop him?
Four-year-old Li Jiren was speechless.
If Li Zhenyu was an ambitious person like his second uncle, he wouldn't mind being with Li Zhenyu.
But Li Zhenyu only thinks about playing all day long.
He asked the servants to help him with the lessons taught by the Taifu, which made the Taifu very angry.
Emperor Huiren also scolded him for this, but Li Zhenyu did not change despite repeated warnings.
He said he was only four years old, while others started learning at the age of six.
These words made Emperor Huiren so angry that he fell backwards.
They, the royal children, have been taught since they can remember...
Li Zhenyu is a carefree person, and what others say will not affect his own thoughts.
If someone talks too much, he will use his trump card - crying loudly and desperately, until the other party gets a headache and gives in, and then he wins.
Li Jiren, however, was naturally interested in reading and practicing martial arts, and he and Li Zhenyu could not play together.
But Li Zhenyu didn't care. Those who were willing to play with him were not of the same status as him, so he looked down on them.
His father scolded Prince Qing every day, saying that Prince Qing had been pestering Prince Lin since he was a child and had therefore gained a lot of benefits.
So he would pester Li Jiren every day, and he wanted everything that Li Jiren had.
Li Jiren stayed in the capital, and he also stayed in the capital, so didn't he get any benefits?
Li Jiren looked at his cousin who was only three months older than him but acted like a spoiled brat to him all day long, and he wanted to kick him away.
But Li Jiren's upbringing prevented him from saying anything too unpleasant to Li Zhenyu, nor from doing anything too embarrassing.
He could only find a few playful servants to accompany Li Zhenyu on his behalf, so that he could have some peace and quiet.
Two years passed like this.
That day was Li Zhenyu's sixth birthday, but the tutors did not show him any leniency because of this.
Li Zhenyu walked out of the study room crying with his homework in his arms. He just hated that time passed so quickly. How could he be six years old already?
He could no longer fool the tutor by saying that he was only six years old.
When Li Zhenyu thought about having to do his homework the next day, he threw his homework on the ground, hugged Li Jiren and cried.
He said that this was his last day of freedom, and asked Li Jiren to accompany him to play for the last day no matter what.
Li Jiren looked at the saliva and snot on his clothes and agreed helplessly.
Li Zhenyu took him to a restaurant for dinner. Many people in Los Angeles knew them, and many people secretly looked at them.
The two men's guards blocked the public's gaze, but Li Zhenyu slipped out from the back with Li Jiren.
Li Zhenyu was used to sneaking around and often did things like getting rid of his guards.
This was the first time that Li Jiren was so rebellious.
He wanted to call the guards, but Li Zhenyu covered his mouth and said he wanted to take him to a very fun place.
Li Jiren agreed as if possessed by a ghost.
But when he got there, Li Jiren felt that he had been cheated.
It was a theater, but the performances were not traditional operas, but very bold dances.
The girls performing on the stage were only about twelve or thirteen years old and were dressed very coolly.
Although Li Jiren was young, he intuitively felt that this was not a serious place.
Li Zhenyu knew that if anyone saw him bringing Li Jiren here, his royal grandfather would definitely break his legs.
So he and Li Jiren came in secretly. He was a frequent visitor here and had a special servant to escort him in.
Li Jiren looked through the window and saw many court officials staring at the girl on the stage. The expressions in their eyes made him feel very uncomfortable.
He wanted to leave, but Li Zhenyu was watching with great interest.
Seeing that Li Zhenyu refused to leave, Li Jiren ignored him and was about to leave.
But before he reached the door, he heard the sound of a body falling to the ground behind him.
He turned around and saw Li Zhenyu lying on the ground. He wanted to help him, but he also fell down.
Before he closed his eyes, he saw several royal guards fighting with some strange people...
When he woke up again, he was in a carriage.
Li Zhenyu, who was sleeping next to him, couldn't be woken up no matter what he did.
He didn't dare to speak. When he felt the carriage stop, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be still unconscious.
Soon someone got into the carriage, and someone asked, "Which of these two children is...?"
The man pronounced the last few words very strangely and he couldn't understand them.
Another voice said, "The ordinary-looking one."
The first person who spoke seemed a little disappointed, muttering "too ordinary", and then carried Li Zhenyu out of the car.
Then he added: "Take him out and kill him, but don't dirty the carriage or anyone will notice."
Li Jiren's heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to make a sound and let the man carry him out.
It was already dark outside. Li Jiren secretly opened his eyes, but he couldn't tell where he was.
Soon he was thrown on the grass and the man raised his knife and slashed at him.
That person never thought that Li Jiren, a child, could wake up so quickly.
He could not have imagined that Li Jiren was so agile.
Li Jiren took advantage of the man's unpreparedness in the dark, rolled over and tripped him to the ground.
He wanted to pick up the knife and kill the man, but the man started shouting and others gathered around him.
Li Jiren had no choice but to escape.
It was dark at night and he, a child, couldn't run fast at all.
Seeing that the people behind him were getting closer and closer, Li Jiren made up his mind and dived into the river next to him.
In his early years, when King Lin was fighting against the Nanlai people, he almost suffered a great loss because he could not swim.
So Li Jiren was trained in diving since he was a child.
Although he is young, he can hold his breath underwater for half an hour.
No one would have thought a child would hide himself in water.
Those people searched for a long time but couldn't find it, and finally left in frustration.
Li Jiren waited for a long time, and finally he poked his head out of the water when he could no longer hold it in.
He wanted to leave quickly, but found that his legs were entangled in the water plants...
