Chương 46: Sickly and Weak

"There's no room for negotiation. You will send Xu QinWang[1] in Jing country immediately. It's up to you to think of any reason you could use to send him there."

After the man spoke, he turned his head and walked away without looking back.

Looking at the man's back, Xu Ji Mo could only close his eyes to control the surging anger deep inside his heart. He was an Emperor, but the man treated him like a lowly subordinate. Among the four countries, in terms of wealth, Qian Zou was a wealthy nation and could rank as first but if people talk about power, Qian Zou ranked last from the bottom while Jing country ranked first. If not for Great General Chen keeping everything at the border, Xu Ji Mo was afraid that they had long been seized by their enemy countries.

In order to avoid fighting Jing country, the only thing he could do was to send Xu Fei Yi to their country even if many people, especially the commoners, would object his decision. If not because it would affect his image as a loving brother, he would have agreed immediately when the man asked him to send Xu Fei Yi to their country. He would be the first person that would celebrate once that idiot dies. Thinking about it, sending Xu Fe Yi in Jing country seemed not a bad idea. He could find ways to kill him and could even point the blame to Jing country's royalty for not properly taking good care of his 'beloved brother'.

But, why was the Emperor of Jing wanted to see Xu Fei Yi and even forcefully ordered him to send that idiot immediately? Was there an underlying connection from their previous action to the current order of sending Xu Fei Yi to their country?

XuanRong was currently sitting on a chair inside the manor's receiving hall. Opposite to her was Xu Fe Yi, happily munching a newly made steamed bun. After leaving her courtyard, everyone inside the manor panicked when they saw an unfamiliar man beside their Young Mistress. After explaining everything, from introducing Xu Fe Yi's identity and how he arrived inside her courtyard to the reason of his child-like behavior, XuanRong immediately ordered Zou mama to send someone and contact the Imperial Residence in Lu Shan.

Zou mama was aware of the severity of the consequences once the situation goes out and be known to others. The woman's reputation was very precious. Once a maiden was deemed promiscuous and has a dirty reputation, it was akin to killing all the marriage prospect of the family, not just the maiden herself but all the young women in her family. Thus, this issue must be addressed swiftly without errors.

Zou mama was the one overseeing the entire situation to avoid any leakage of information that could be used to tarnish XuanRong's reputation.

"Wife JieJie, you want some? It's very delicious."

Xu Fei Yi grabbed a small steamed bun and offered it to XuanRong. XuanRong shook her head and smiled. She looked like an indulgent mother who was looking at her child happily eating.

"I am full. Go ahead, eat as much as you want."

Xu Fei Yi resumed eating while looking at her from time to time.

Thinking of the poor child in front of her, XuanRong was filled with pity. The poor child was sickly and weak. When Xu Fei Yi moved closer towards her, she observed that he smelled like medicine. After two months of learning under Yue Xiao Xiao's teaching, XuanRong was able to recognize the smell of the common herbs used for medicine. In Xu Fei Yi's situation, the smell of the herbs was very strong, indicating that he had been taking medicine since he was young. She could not even smell his natural scent because the smell of those herbs was very pungent.

"Da XiaoJie, the Chief of Imperial Guard has arrived."

One of the servants entered the hall, informing XuanRong that the people from Royal Residence had arrive and wanted to see Xu Fei Yi.

"En. Let him in."

"Yes, this servant understands."

Half an incense stick of time passed when another servant arrived together with a man in his forties. After the servant sent Mu Qing inside, she then closed the door and left.

"Mu Qing! You are here!!"

Xu Fei Yi squealed in delight. He stood up and ran towards Mu Qing, pulling him forward. The old man was engrossed feeling emotional that he was not able to realize that there was someone aside from Xu Fei Yi inside the hall.

"Your Highness. This servant is glad that you are okay. This servant is----"

Before Mu Qing could finish his words, Xu Fei Yi happily spoke.

"Mu Qing!! I found Wife JieJie!! I finally found her!!"

Mu Qing was rendered speechless due to Xu Fei Yi's words. It took him a few seconds to react and congratulate the young man.

"HAHAHA! Really, Your Highness? Where is she?" Mu Qing was feeling ecstatic. He could not contain the happiness swelling inside his heart. Finally, his struggles were over.

"Over there!"

When Mu Qing bent his head to the left to see the place Xu Fei Yi was pointing, he saw a very beautiful girl sitting on the chair. He could not help but froze. The girl was indeed beautiful but… she looked like a child who still have milk in her lips.

"Y-your Highness… I--.. Who--.." Mu Qing could not speak properly and was stuttering.

"Ah? Wife JieJie is over there, sitting."

*boom*

Mu Qing felt like someone just slapped him hard.
