Chapter 18 The Little Beggar



Wei Wenyan is his brother's only blood relative, and he must find Wei Wenyan.

He must find Wei Wenyan no matter where he is, whether alive or dead!

Prince Ying and Concubine Yao accused the Crown Prince of plotting a rebellion, and the Emperor believed it. He ordered all the people in the Eastern Palace to be imprisoned and executed. He deposed the Queen Mother from the position of Queen, banished her to the cold palace, and forced all the people in the Eastern Palace to death.

If the Grand Tutor had not felt sorry for Wei Wenyan and tried his best to send Wei Wenyan out of Kyoto, Wei Wenyan would have died in this public riot.

He never believed that his brother would rebel, but unfortunately, his power in Kyoto was weak and he was no match for King Ying.

Staying in Kyoto would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg, so he simply left Kyoto and went to look for Wei Wenyan.

Along the way, he had spent all his savings, and was left to sleep in the open air, begging for shelter everywhere.

Although he had been living in the open air with Liu Qin for the past half month, he had lived a fulfilling life.

After finding Wei Wenyan, he really wanted to take Wei Wenyan with him to live an ordinary life, away from the disputes in Kyoto.

It’s a pity that their identities do not allow them to escape, and they always have to face everything they have to face.

Hearing this, Liu Qin suddenly realized why Wei Cunqing was so mysterious! It turned out that he was actually the prince.

In the original novel, the death of this prince was too unjust!

No wonder Wei Wenyan went to the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion alone and pitifully to ask for help. It turned out that the emperor's uncle Wei Cunqing died by accident on the way to find him.

If the plot of the original novel is followed, Wei Cunqing would probably be the most unjustly killed prince in the world, as he was actually drowned in a pig cage.

"You are actually a prince! You are the most miserable prince I have ever seen." Liu Qin couldn't help but complain.

Other princes are all high and mighty and have noble status.

Wei Cunqing, on the other hand, was penniless and had to stay and eat everywhere, and he almost died inexplicably.

His life as a prince is really miserable.

So, having a good background doesn’t prove anything. You still have to endure some suffering that you deserve.

Wei Cunqing smiled awkwardly, "Indeed! If my identity were to be revealed, I might even be killed. Therefore, Qin'er needs to keep this matter a secret for me."

He didn't treat Liu Qin as an outsider, so he told Liu Qin this secret. Liu Qin must not reveal his identity, otherwise it would bring them fatal disaster.

Especially since they also brought Lin Yuehong, who was about the same age as Wei Wenyan. If those people mistook Lin Yuehong for Wei Wenyan, then they would not only be facing Lin Wenyu and his group, but a group of even more powerful killers.

Liu Qin nodded in agreement, "Of course! Then...can I still call you Seventh Brother?"

Since she knew that Wei Cunqing was a prince, shouldn't she respect Wei Cunqing a little more?

Otherwise, it may be a capital crime.

"Of course! I am just an unpopular and down-and-out prince now! I may lose my head at any time, and I am afraid that I will implicate you." Wei Cunqing smiled helplessly.

Although he is a prince, he is a prince who may lose his head at any time. His status is not more noble than Liu Qin and others.

Liu Qin looked at Wei Cunqing with a bit of sympathy. She understood! Wei Cunqing was the son of the deposed empress, so naturally he was also suspected by the emperor.

From this point of view, Wei Cunqing is not much better than her, and may even be worse.

"Seventh brother, don't worry and go find the prince. We will wait for you to come back in Raozhou." Liu Qin said with a smile.

Since she and Wei Cunqing are allies, she will advance and retreat together with Wei Cunqing.

Wei Cunqing is the seventh prince, so he and Prince Ying are mortal enemies.

They can now fight the enemy with a common hatred.

Wei Cunqing smiled with relief. With Liu Qin's words, he felt relieved.

After he found Wei Wenyan, he would indeed return to Raozhou. He wanted to send Wei Wenyan to his uncle. Now, only his uncle had the ability to protect Wei Wenyan, and only his uncle had the ability to help Wei Wenyan regain the position that should have belonged to him.

"Qin'er, thank you." Wei Cunqing said gratefully.

Liu Qin pursed her lips. "What are you thanking me for? We are allies, so naturally we should help each other and advance and retreat together."

They have a life-and-death relationship, so there's no need to be so polite.

After walking for more than ten days, they arrived at Raozhou City, but Lin Wenyou and his men did not pursue them.

Several people could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems that we are safe. Let's rest for an hour at noon today before leaving." Liu Qin suggested.

Now they are safe and no longer have to travel day and night. They can rest before continuing.

Wei Cunqing drove the carriage under the shade of a tree, and several people got off the carriage to rest.

As soon as they took out the dry food and water, a little beggar next to them stared at the food in their hands.

Liu Qin glanced at the other person and asked, "Do you want to eat?"

The other party nodded, his eyes still fixed on the pancake in Liu Qin's hand.

Liu Qin handed him the pancake in her hand and said, "Here you go."

The little beggar stared at Liu Qin warily, swallowed, and hesitated whether to go forward and take it.

Liu Qin couldn't help but smile, "It seems you're not very hungry yet! You don't even want to eat, then..."

Before she could finish her words, the little beggar had already snatched the pancake from her hand, walked aside and started to gobble it up.

Liu Qin sighed lightly and threw the kettle in her hand to the little beggar.

"Eat slowly, don't choke!"

If the little beggar choked to death, wouldn't she have indirectly killed the little beggar?

Liu Qin took out another pancake from the package and continued eating. She had just taken two bites when the little beggar came over again.

Liu Qin: ...

This little beggar is so shameless! She gave him a piece of pancake, and he still doesn't want to be satisfied?

As long as they don’t starve to death, how could she have the ability to feed and clothe all the beggars in the world?

Even if she has the ability, she has no obligation to do so.

"That's enough! I'm being kind by giving you one pancake, don't even think about asking for a second one! Judging from your appearance, you must be around ten years old, right? You can be self-reliant now! Find a place to work and support yourself, don't rely on others for everything!

You can't rely on others, you can only rely on yourself!" Liu Qin taught.

The little beggar listened and then he knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Madam! Please take me in! I am easy to feed! I can be your little servant, you just need to give me a mouthful of white rice to eat!" the little beggar begged.

All he needed was a bowl of white rice every day, and as long as they took him in, he would work like a slave for them.

Liu Qin: ...

The little beggar had a good plan. She gave him a pancake and had to support him from then on!

It’s a nice thought, but what kind of work can he, a young boy, do?

She doesn't want to be taken advantage of!
