Zhou Yi, a child, has a very special meaning for Xiao Jinxuan.

Back then, Chi Ling gave birth to Xiao Zhou Yi in the carriage, and then the other party voluntarily led the enemy away in order to cover her safety, and died in battle.

After taking Zhou Yi, who was still a baby, into her arms at that time, Xiao Jinxuan secretly swore that no matter what, she would protect the child, treat him as her own, and raise him as an adult.

Therefore, even if she fell into the cold pool later, Xiao Jinxuan could not protect herself, and she was almost frozen to death.

But she still pierced her fingers and used her own blood to feed the child, and Xiao Jinxuan had only one thought at that time.

Even if they can't survive, she will definitely die in front of this child, and when she exhausts the last drop of blood, she wants Xiao Zhou Yi to live for a long time.

The chance of survival and rescue is left to this little baby as much as possible.

Therefore, although Xiao Jinxuan is not Zhou Yi's biological mother, the other party was born drinking her blood to save a life.

Therefore, there is this relationship, Zhou Yi is in Xiao Jinxuan's eyes, they are the mother and son who are connected to the family bloodline, and she also takes care of this child wholeheartedly.

Even if she escaped from the palace later, when it was so dangerous, she never let go of Xiao Zhouyi's hand, and desperately took the other party out of the palace gate.

It was inconvenient for Xiao Jinxuan to visit Zhou Yi just now, it was because she was worried that Zhou Xianchen was on her side.

But now that her identity is known, Xiao Jinxuan has no worries, and can't wait to know what Zhou Yi, who has been separated for several years, and now has a six-year-old Zhou Yi, is living.

Therefore, when the carriage turned around and rushed to the direction of the mountain behind Rabbit Ridge, at noon, their group came to Shisong Town.

Because this town is located in a remote place, the area is not large, and there are not many outsiders entering it on weekdays, and it is rare to see dignitaries once in several years.

So in order not to disturb the peace of this town, I don't want Zhou Yi's identity to be suspicious of others.

So Xiao Jinxuan ordered the thirty guards accompanying her, along with the carriage, to guard outside the town.

And she and Zhou Xianchen, accompanied by Bai Chu, entered Shisong Town in a very low-key and non-pompous manner.

Although more than four years ago, Xiao Jinxuan came to Shisong Town once.

But she has always kept things about Zhou Yi in her heart, so she arrived at the door of the old man surnamed Shi in front of the house.

This Shisong Town is very remote, so every family in the town is not rich, and if there is a few dozen taels of spare money, it can be regarded as one of the richest families.

Therefore, Shi Laolangzhong's home is a yellow mud house, and the small courtyard surrounded by a fence outside is extremely shabby and poor.

When this familiar fenced courtyard came into view, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes immediately turned red.

Thinking of Zhou Yi's child, who must have suffered a lot over the years, she felt very guilty, and she was even more sorry for the old Chi Ling.

Although when they were separated, Xiao Jinxuan left the red gold hairpin set outside the worry-free hairpin to Shi Laolangzhong.

But Zhou Yi was seriously ill, and the young child could only take expensive and good medicine to save his life.

Therefore, the hairpin sleeve, presumably after exchanging herbs for Zhou Yi, there are not many silver taels left.

The more she felt that Zhou Yi had suffered all these years, Xiao Jinxuan was suffering a lot in her heart.

And she even stretched out her hand to push the fence yard away, and couldn't wait to walk in.

But when she wanted to knock on the door of the yellow mud house and meet Zhou Yi's mother and son, she didn't want the wooden door to be kicked open from the inside.

Then I saw two men in the prime of life, dragging a thin boy in their hands, and while striking him, he cursed and said in his mouth:

"You little rabbit cub, you really toast and don't eat and drink, your grandfather has been dead for three years, and his house and fields should be redivided among the people of the town. And you, a wild seed that was picked up by Daddy Shi out of nowhere, deserve to stay here. We have been polite enough, according to your request, to ask you to keep filial piety for Daddy Shi for three years. Now you have no excuse not to leave, hurry up and get out of Shisong Town, we have few people here, and we can't call you a child of unknown origin who occupies the house and land in vain. ”

Looking at the boy who was dragged by the arms of two men, with multiple bruises on his face and blood at the corners of his mouth.

Even though he hadn't seen him for several years, Shen Nanke could still see at a glance that this child was Zhou Yi.

With the change of identity in an instant, Xiao Jinxuan became more and more calm and calm, and Xiao Jinxuan was no longer impetuous and was swayed by emotions.

Not only did his face look gloomy, but he didn't even think about it, he picked up a piece of water chestnut sharp gravel from the ground, held it in his hand, and smashed it on the foreheads of the two men.

This Xiao Jinxuan is not the princess of Beirong, and she has forgotten her princess.

She is a mother who sees her child being bullied and is completely enraged.

It's just that even though Xiao Jinxuan is in an angry mood, and the small stone in her hand wants to hurt people, it is still a little difficult.

It was also thanks to Bai Chu on the side who reacted quickly, seeing that the two men who were holding Zhou Yi still wanted to make a move on Xiao Jinxuan, he stepped forward with one person and one kick, and then grabbed the other party and pressed them all to the ground.

Shisong Town is not big, and the villagers are not far away, these two men were kicked to the ground with a blow, and they were shocked and panicked, and they couldn't help but ask Xiao Jinxuan loudly who they were and why they suddenly made a move.

As a result, this movement attracted all the villagers in the street.

Seeing that the onlookers were talking about it, they even pointed at Zhou Yi, who was huddled on the ground and trembling.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was nameless in her heart, while blocking Zhou Yi behind her, said with a sharp gaze:

"How can you people be so cold-blooded and ruthless, you are only a child in front of you, and you are going to drive people out of town for the sake of a few acres of thin land and this yellow mud house. What's the difference between this and forcing people to die? If you people are bullying the innocent, believe it or not, I will immediately report to the officials and tell you all to go to the yamen, and let's go and evaluate the reasoning. ”

Xiao Jinxuan is dressed well, in fact, if she is a citizen of the capital, she has some eyesight, and when she sees the phoenix pattern on her dress, she knows that the other party must be related to the royal family, and she must not be provoked.

However, Shisong Town is located in the mountain behind Rabbit Ridge, and the people here are afraid that only when they see the dragon and phoenix totem will they know that it is the royal people who have arrived.

And Xiao Jinxuan's phoenix pattern is not fake, but according to the specifications, only the queen can embroider the phoenix totem on her body, so she still hasn't seen through her identity, among them, there are those who are not convinced, and immediately shouted without fear of death:

"This nobleman, you are a foreigner, don't bother with the idle affairs of our town. This Shi Xiaoyi is a child who was picked up, and he should leave as soon as Daddy Shi dies. He is not from our town, so why should he take our land and our house for nothing? If you really have a good heart, then take this child away, and we will all be happy with you. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan's expression flashed a trace of helplessness and sadness.

After all, if she could take this child to her side, as soon as she returned to Jingshi, she would have ordered someone to bring Zhou Yi back.

It's just that this kind of thinking is strong, but Xiao Jinxuan categorically can't do it, because Zhou Yi is nominally Zhou Xianrui's prince.

There were many people who saw this child back then, although Zhou Yi's face changed as he grew older, but he could still see what he looked like when he was a child.

As long as others have a heart, his identity will be discovered sooner or later.

And once Zhou Yi's identity as the prince of Emperor Qi was revealed, most of the ministers who were willing to follow Zhou Xianyu to assist Zhou Xianchen were Zhou Xianrui's loyal old ministry back then.

Xiao Jinxuan really knows too well that they will support Zhou Xianchen, entirely because Zhou Xianrui has no heirs and does not want to see Empress Chen interfere in politics.

But once Zhou Yi's identity is announced, these old subordinates of Zhou Xianrui are likely to have different intentions, and instead support this prince and become a third-party party.

But the most fatal point is that Xiao Jinxuan knows better than anyone that Zhou Yi is the child of Chi Ling, and he is not the blood of the Zhou family's royal family at all.

Therefore, under this complicated relationship, Xiao Jinxuan didn't dare to take Zhou Yi back to her side at all, and even then she couldn't even recognize the other party.

So seeing that her face was full of indignation, she casually pulled off all the four golden hairpins between her buns, and then threw them in front of the onlookers, and said with a sneer:

"I am not related to this child, although I will not take him away, but this golden hairpin is enough to buy this fence mud house, a few acres of thin fields. In the past, Shi Laolang used medical skills to help me, so I would not ignore the children he adopted. You take the golden hairpin and leave quickly, if anyone comes to bully this child and tells me to know, then I will definitely not let that person go, you better hear clearly. ”

The people have never fought with the officials, and the poor can't afford to provoke the rich, Xiao Jinxuan is dressed extraordinarily and has a strong bearing, and the people of Shisong Town are already a little afraid in their hearts.

Now that he has taken the golden hairpin and picked up a big bargain, where will there be anyone who can't get along with Zhou Yi.

Therefore, the people in the town who had just surrounded a group, including the two men who were kicked to the ground by Bai Chu, all scattered in all directions, leaving no one to obstruct their eyes.

As soon as the idlers left, Xiao Jinxuan immediately turned around and looked at Zhou Yi, who was still curled up on the ground.

Looking at the child, trembling all over her body and not looking up, she stayed there silently, not crying or shouting in pain, Xiao Jinxuan was so heartbroken that she almost didn't cry.

After a few steps forward, she squatted down on her knees, and after helping Zhou Yi slap off all the dirt that had been stained when she was beaten, Xiao Jinxuan asked in a choked voice;

"Good boy, you must tell me where you are uncomfortable, those people will not come to bully you anymore, this fence yard will be yours from now on. And you look up at me, and you remember who I am. ”

Seeing Zhou Yi's right to her. Indifferent at all, Xiao Jinxuan was anxious, and couldn't help but immediately order Bai Chu:

"Go and get the snacks from our carriage, Yi'er is hungry, and bring all the spare ointments."

Bai Chu saw that there was no trouble around him, although he was a little worried, but looking at Zhou Yi's pitiful appearance, he left immediately after nodding and went to the carriage to pick up things.

And it seemed that because he heard something to eat, Zhou Yi's head finally raised.

After glancing at Xiao Jinxuan with gratitude, he said in a humble voice:

"Thank you for helping me and giving Xiaoyi something to eat. It's just that the noble man said that he knew grandpa, but I don't remember seeing you. Xiaoyi hasn't eaten properly for three days, in fact, you can just give me a bowl of rice. As for the noble man who took away the gold hairpin for me by the villagers, when I grow up and can earn silver, I will definitely find a way to return the money to you. ”
