After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

She reached out and tugged at Luo Cheng'an's sleeve, saying, "Crown Prince, don't make it so bloody."

"Mingzhu is afraid."

These two simple sentences saved Xie Xinghe and Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Cheng'an naturally cherished Xie Mingzhu dearly.

This is the apple of the eye of the General's mansion, so of course he wouldn't let Xie Mingzhu be afraid of him because of a lowly bastard.

Luo Cheng'an, in a moment of mercy, allowed Luo Mian to spare Xie Xing and Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Mian was unwilling, but he wouldn't offend Luo Cheng'an at this time.

He looked at Xie Xing and Luo Hanfeng with a gloomy gaze, and then followed Luo Cheng'an and Xie Mingzhu away.

Xie Xing watched the group leave, and only after they were completely gone did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Turning to look at Luo Hanfeng, she saw that he was also angry.

Luo Hanfeng silently got up from the ground, wiped his face with his sleeve, and walked silently into the house.

"Your Highness!" Xie Xing was startled and quickly got up to catch up with Luo Hanfeng.

"You can leave." Luo Hanfeng's voice was devoid of emotion. His eyes had returned to the lifeless, soulless look they had when they first met, making him appear like a corpse without a soul.

He said, "I am nothing but a lowly child born to a lowly palace maid. I cannot protect you, and you may die because of me."

"You go."

"The farther away you are from me, the better, so you can live a good life."

Xie Xing looked at Luo Hanfeng's face, which resembled that of a walking corpse.

She felt a pang of heartache for a moment.

She took two steps forward and said, "Your Highness, I'm not leaving. I'm not going anywhere."

"Your Highness, please don't be afraid, this situation won't last long."

Xie Xing transmigrated into the book and possesses an omniscient perspective.

Perhaps because she had lived too comfortably for the past two years, she thought that it would be enough to raise Luo Hanfeng peacefully and let him live a life where no one would bully him.

But now it seems that even if they don't go out, trouble will still come knocking.

She didn't intend for Luo Hanfeng to repeat the same mistake, to encounter that assassin master and live a life of constant danger and risking his life.

To be honest, Luo Hanfeng was only an eight-year-old child.

After today's commotion, Xie Xing has finally figured it out.

She needs someone to rely on.

She wanted to expose Luo Hanfeng to everyone.

In this way, at least Luo Hanfeng won't end up being killed at will.

She needs to make plans.

Xie Xing's expression darkened, and she reached out to grasp Luo Hanfeng's hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, from today onwards, you will never again be a fish to be slaughtered."

Luo Hanfeng was slightly taken aback.

He stared straight at Xie Xing for a long while before his dry lips moved slightly. He asked, "But you're just a palace maid. What can you do?"

"..."

……

night.

Luo Mian couldn't swallow his anger from today, so that evening, he led a large entourage to the Cold Palace again.

However, when they arrived at the Cold Palace, they found that neither Xie Xing nor Luo Hanfeng were there.

Luo Mian was furious: "Hmph, let's see where you can hide!"

"Men, search the place!"

Soon, Luo Mian found Luo Hanfeng.

It's in the back garden.

Luo Mian said smugly, "You dare to hide? Do you think I'll let you go just because you've hidden?"

"Somebody come!"

"Hit me!"

"That damned bastard! How dare you make me suffer so much today! I won't be satisfied until I beat you to death!"

After saying that, he and his men immediately arrested Luo Hanfeng.

Luo Hanfeng only struggled symbolically for a couple of moments before letting the fists rain down on him.

Meanwhile, Xie Xing was in a very disheveled state, blocking the way for Emperor Chu's dragon carriage.

"Who is so bold!"

Soon someone reprimanded them.

Xie Xing lay prostrate on the ground, reaching out his hand pitifully to the emperor: "Your Majesty!"

"Please, save our prince!"

"No matter what, our prince is still His Majesty's flesh and blood, and should not be bullied to death!"

"Hmm?" A majestic voice came from the dragon chariot.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you palace maid?"

"Your Majesty, today the Fourth Prince led a group of people into the Cold Palace, threatening to kill the Seventh Prince."

"Seventh Prince?"

When the Emperor of Chu heard about a prince, he was stunned for a moment.

But soon, he reacted.

He did have such a prince, born to a palace maid when he was confused.

The Chu emperor felt ashamed and threw the child and the woman into the cold palace, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The Chu Emperor was extremely annoyed and had no interest in such trivial matters. He was about to wave his hand and order someone to drag the audacious palace maid away and give her thirty lashes when...

A voice came from beside him: "Your Majesty, why don't you go and take a look?"

The sound was like the tinkling of a spring, extremely pleasant to hear.

Xie Xing subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.

A young man stood beside the imperial carriage. He was dressed in a bright red robe, looking exquisite and noble. He glanced at her with his peach blossom eyes and then looked away indifferently, saying, "Since you are His Majesty's bloodline, you cannot die without knowing why."

"It will be criticized by the ministers."

As soon as he spoke, the Chu Emperor paused for a moment, then decisively ordered his men to change direction and follow Xie Xing towards the back garden.

Before we even arrived, we could hear the insults and curses.

"Bastard! Bastard!"

"Why do not you go to hell!"

Punch to the flesh.

At first, Luo Hanfeng just covered his head with his hands and curled up on the ground, but soon he stopped moving.

Xie Xing froze, then rushed over: "Your Highness!"

"Outrageous!" The Chu Emperor was finally enraged when he saw this cruel scene.

Luo Mian, in particular, kept calling someone a "bastard."

Luo Hanfeng is, after all, of imperial blood. If he is a lowly bastard, then what is the emperor?

Old bastard?

Luo Mian and the others were startled.

Upon turning around and seeing that it was the emperor, they immediately knelt down.

Luo Mian was so frightened that he trembled.

"Father, Father Emperor?"

The Chu Emperor glared angrily at Luo Mian: "You never do your studies, you're smart but have no skills, but I never expected you to be so good at bullying others!"

"I hereby punish you by confining you for ten days as a warning to others!"

Xie Xing raised his head in disbelief.

She held the dying Luo Hanfeng in her arms.

The man was almost beaten to death, and he was only confined for ten days?

Fortunately, Luo Hanfeng did not faint at this moment.

He stepped out of Xie Xing's arms, slowly crawled to Emperor Chu's side, stretched out his bruised and swollen hand, and raised his battered and bruised face to look at Emperor Chu:

"Father, was it wrong for me to survive?"

"While I was in the cold palace, I kept to myself and never coveted anything that did not belong to me. I only wanted to live."

"But now, I can't even keep living."

"If that's the case, then I shouldn't have been alive in the first place, right, Father?"

Luo Hanfeng raised his eyes, his tear-filled eyes looking sadly at Emperor Chu.

There was innocent confusion in his eyes, as well as a deep affection for the Chu Emperor as his father.

The Chu Emperor was shocked when he saw his son in such a disheveled state.

For the first time ever, he felt a surge of sympathy.
