The king of Qi and the envoys of the Ugin Kingdom were about to arrive.

The prince can now walk normally without help, but his strength is not well controlled.

The prosthesis had worn out his stump, and he was in pain, pampered as he was, when had he ever tasted such a thing.

After a stumble, he fell heavily to the ground.

Jing Xi and Jin Shui followed closely and stepped forward, intending to help him up.

But he raised his hand to stop him: "No need, I can do it myself." ”

Jingxi and Jinshui stayed where they were.

But the crown prince Xuanwei rushed over at this time, went straight to the prince, and pulled his arm to help him up.

"Father, father, don't go any further. If the father wants to leave, he can call someone to help him. ”

"Wei'er, let go, for the sake of my father, I need to stand up by myself."

The imperial grandson pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were red: "But my father ......"

"Obedient." The crown prince used his arm to support his body, and slowly stood up, "Also, don't tell your mother." ”

The eight-year-old silently stepped aside, red-eyed as his father struggled to accomplish an action that was extremely simple for him.

The prince looked at his son's wrinkled little face and sighed softly.

After finishing the day's training, the prince called his son over.

He touched his son's head and slowly looked at Jing Xi: "Doctor Jing, can you tell me the story you told me again?" ”

Jing Xi was slightly stunned, but still retold the story:

"Your Highness, I once heard such a story. In that story, there is a country called the Great Celestial Empire, and in the territory of the Great Celestial Empire, there is a very tall snow-capped mountain.

How high is this Tianshan Mountain, if you do the math, there should be ...... Three million zhang high, the protagonist of the story is an old man in his sixties.

When he was younger, he tried to climb to the top, but unfortunately he encountered a snowstorm on the mountain, and in order to save his friends, his legs were severely frostbitten, and he had to amputate them from his calves.

But he never gave up on himself, he later wore a prosthetic leg, and for more than 40 years, he never stopped training himself.

Reaching the top of the mountain has become his dream and obsession, and in his later 40 years, after many attempts and failures, he finally successfully climbed to the top with a pair of prosthetic feet. ”

The imperial grandson listened to Jing Xi's story very carefully and frowned.

The prince looked at him gently: "Is there anything you want to say?" ”

The eight-year-old child was puzzled: "Why does climbing to the top of the mountain become a lifelong dream and obsession?" ”

"Wei'er," the prince said earnestly, "Everyone has a Tianshan Mountain in their hearts that they want to climb, and Tianshan can have many different thoughts. One day, you'll understand. ”

"Then what is my father's Tianshan?"

"I'm trying to climb."

This is the first time I've heard this story.

Later, at dinner, Jinshui asked Jing Xi: "Master, do you have such a Tianshan Mountain in your heart, what is it?" ”

"Yes, of course. I once thought that I must publish a few academic papers that shocked me at home and abroad, surpassing all the giants in our medical field. I also want to become the premier Bai Fumei, marry a rich and handsome, and go to the pinnacle of life. ”

"Ah???h Jinshui was stunned, and he clearly heard the word 'marry'. But...... Marry? Master is a woman, alas.

"But now I just want to live freely and arbitrarily in this world, do what I want to do, and make myself happy."

Jinshui understood all these words.

But he frowned, how could this be? He doesn't want to stay in the East Palace anymore, and neither does the master, but what can be done?

No one can live completely freely.

Even Emperor Xuan, who was above 10,000 people in the Xuan Dynasty, couldn't.

He even wanted to kill all the people and directly level the Ugin Kingdom, and he also wanted to lock the King of Qi in his dungeon, and cut down all the people who didn't listen to him and those who dared to look at him more.

Regarding King Qi, his half-brother, he thought so, but he also needed to weigh the pros and cons, and the result of weighing was that he found that he couldn't do it.

So he could only weaken King Qi's wings.

It's not enough to just control the Younan Valley, and just take the Younan Valley and Yancheng into your pocket.

Therefore, Emperor Xuan promoted several Qi army generals to be Beijing officials, and emptied the military power in their hands.

And once again gave Murong Yu an official, the title of a pavilion scholar with no real power, and he was determined not to let him go to the fiefdom of King Qi again.

And this time, Murong Yu had no way to refuse.

Because it has already been rejected once.

No one, no family, can blatantly and repeatedly refuse the emperor's orders.

These are all things that happened in the court, and Jing Xi, who was trapped in the East Palace, didn't know about it.

She only knew that after the crown prince went down, the crown princess brought her an exciting good news.

The crown princess gave her a lot of rewards and told her to take her out of the palace.

She can finally get out of the palace!

She deliberately took the water to bid farewell to the prince.

When she passed, the imperial grandson was also there.

When the imperial grandson learned that she was leaving, he specially ordered someone to take the book "Wei Xia's Travels" and give it to her.

"Doctor Jing, my father gave me this travelogue, I want to give it to you today, thank you for healing my father's leg, you said that you want to walk all over the rivers and mountains of Daxuan, I hope to see the travelogue you wrote one day."

Jing Xi took the book with both hands and solemnly bowed to the child: "Thank you, Your Highness, I hope Your Highness will cherish it." ”

"Hmm." The eight-year-old nodded, and Chao Jingxi showed a slightly green smile.

His smile was pure and innocent, imprinted in Jing Xi's mind for a long time.

So much so that later, this smile was permanently branded in Jing Xi's heart.

……

Jing Xi returned to his residence and quickly packed his bags.

After coming to the East Palace, she was wearing all the clothes prepared by the crown princess, but now she has just changed back to her original body, and has collected a few medical books sent by Murong Yu, as well as a travelogue given by the imperial grandson.

As for the reward of the crown princess, there are people who carry it.

Jing Xi and Jinshui walked outside the palace under the guidance of the great eunuch of the East Palace.

Jing Xi quickly looked around and found that there was no one else in the company except for himself and Jinsui.

So he asked Jinshui in a low voice: "What about the craftsmen who are in the same yard as you, why didn't you see them?" ”

Kamisui kept his voice to a minimum: "They are all left behind, and they want to continue making prosthetics for the prince." ”

Jing Xi felt a sigh in her heart, and suddenly remembered what the prince had said when she went to bid farewell to the prince.

'No need to be polite, let's go.' ’

She couldn't help but speed up her pace, and whispered to Jinshui: "Hurry up and keep up." ”

You have to go quickly, maybe you can't go away if you are slow.
