“No… ahem… it’s not… it’s my fault. I didn’t react in time, so I got bitten… ahem…”

꿁年 coughed until tears came out of his eyes.

He also knew that a short pain is worse than a long one, so he snatched the soup from the baby's hand and drank it in one gulp.

“Cough cough… cough cough…”

However, he still underestimated the power of modern bitters.

After taking a sip of the medicine, I instantly felt a strong bitter taste rushing straight to my head!

His eyes turned red and his breathing became rapid.

A pair of sparkling fox eyes turned into aggrieved rabbit eyes in an instant. Beads of sweat oozed out of the pale face, which unexpectedly gave rise to a lot of broken beauty.

Seeing his pitiful look, Sheng Nanxi felt a little guilty for some reason and quickly poured him a glass of water. However, her tone was still that of an innocent little kid.

"Liangqin said that children should chew their food slowly. If you drink spicy food too quickly, you will definitely get choked."

“Ahem…”

He took the water from the cup and took a big gulp, which diluted the strong bitter taste in his mouth.

A thought flashed through his mind, but he immediately shook his head with a chuckle, dismissing the thought.

He knew a little about medicine and could tell that the bowl of medicine just now contained many herbs for treating physical weakness and qi deficiency.

Moreover, he did not believe that a loyal family like the Sheng family would harm a stranger for no reason.

The little baby in front of him looks innocent and cute, so it is even more impossible to add something to the medicine to harm him.

As for the question just now, it was probably just a casual question from the little kid, so don't take it seriously.

The extremely bitter taste just now should be the taste of some kind of medicinal herb that he didn't know about.

Seeing the little baby in front of him frowning and looking very worried, Gu Cheng suppressed his bitterness and smiled at her.

"Brother is fine now. Don't worry, brother took the medicine tonight and will be fine tomorrow."

Looking at that look, it was just like a little dog that was abandoned by someone but still cared about others. Sheng Nanxi felt a little jealous for some reason.

After all, Gu 꽮成 is just a ten-year-old kid.

When his father ascended the throne, the Queen Mother and her mother's family controlled half of the Beichen government.

But he was born with extraordinary intelligence, and no matter how hard he tried to hide his brilliance, he still attracted countless jealous glances.

Emperor Beichen has no power and influence. It is already difficult for him to deal with the turmoil in the court every day.

Even if more people were assigned to protect this little son, there would always be someone who would take advantage of the opportunity and harm him.

This results in a young boy who should be carefree at this age, but in his bones he reveals a sense of alienation and murderous determination.

Moreover, this man had saved her before. Even the little cotton jacket she was wearing and the fragrant sketchbook in her arms were stolen from other people's shops.

Thinking of this, the little girl felt even more guilty. She put her hands behind her buttocks, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice:

"You've seen it, too. My whole family is exiled because we offended the emperor and were exiled to the northern border. We'll set out for the north tomorrow morning."

"Just now, my grandmother invited a doctor to treat you and prescribed several days of medicine. She told you to stay at the station and recuperate. Of course, you can come with us if you want."

"Little Xier is so smart. She can help her grandmother pass messages at such a young age."

Gu 꽮cheng smiled faintly and couldn't help rubbing the little head of the doll in front of him.

"I'm going north too, so I'll go with you guys."

Oh……

Sheng Nanxi knew that this person wanted to use the Exile Team as a cover to avoid being hunted down by the old witch Beichen!

However, the Son of Heaven insisted on following them. If she pulled the Son of Heaven into her own camp, wouldn't that be the same as pulling Heaven into her own camp as well?!

Seeing that this man had clear eyes, and that he didn't seem to have any bad intentions towards them, it would be fine to let him follow.

If Sheng Nanxi finds out one day, he will have other plans.

Humph! Who cares if he is a little puppy, a little wolf or a son of heaven...

Sister Xi still shot him in the head!

Sheng Nanxi's mind was full of bloody and violent images, but her face was full of ignorance and stupidity.

"Great! Finally someone is here to play with me! Well, we recently bought a donkey car that can seat four people, so we don't have to walk the whole way to Northern Xinjiang. If anyone is tired, they can get in the car and rest for a while!"

"Hey! Let me tell you, my third brother is so annoying! He always wins when playing guessing games with me, and he never gives in to me!"

"You look quite smart. Let's team up tomorrow during the break. We'll beat him till he's left with nothing!"

Seeing this little girl lying on the bed and chattering to herself, the last bit of doubt in Gu Cheng's mind disappeared completely.

"Okay, I'll help you tomorrow."

"That's fine! Go to bed early. You have a long way to go tomorrow! Grandma wants you to get enough rest, otherwise you won't be able to bear it tomorrow."

"Well, Xi'er should go to bed early too."

A faint smile spread across the young man's face. Even his tone was gentler than he had ever noticed.

Sheng Nanxi walked out with her short legs, but she didn't have the heart to do it. She turned back and took out a piece of mung bean cake she had bought from the carriage and horse shop and gave it to Jinian.

"I'll give you seven! Xi'er always wants seven cakes after taking the medicine. You also want seven!"

"Okay. Thank you, Hill."

The young man couldn't hold back his smile any longer. A closer look revealed a pair of faint whirlpools on both sides of his cheeks.

I have to say that the man's appearance is really a perfect match. When he looks cold, strangers are not allowed to approach him, but when he smiles, it feels like his face is shining. Even the lights in the room dimmed a little.

Now he is so good-looking in his teens. Sheng Nanxi simply couldn't imagine how he would bring disaster to the country and the people when his facial features grew up.

Fortunately, Sheng Nanxi was smarter than ordinary people. She was distracted by the handsome boy's smile, so she sucked her saliva and ran back to the shop where the Sheng family lived.

The door was closed from the outside by the chubby girl, and a ghostly shadow floated in the room.

"How are you, babe?"

"No problem. I was probably too tired from running around all night in recent days. In addition, I had used up almost all my energy to avoid the Aegis. I was exhausted and passed out."

Gu 꽮成 said indifferently.

Thinking that his son hated sweets the most, Xuanfeng subconsciously reached out to take the cake from his hand.

As a result, Gu Yucheng slapped his hand away with disgust.

Half leaning on the bed, she gracefully opened the wrinkled oil paper, picked up the cake inside and started to eat.

Xuanfeng:!!!

It is said that it is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. Can a person's preferences change so quickly?

He remembered that when his son was a child, he would not eat a single piece of sugar even if he had to drink three bowls of extremely bitter medicine.

That little girl just said a few words to him earlier, and this guy changed his personality? !

He finally understood that little kids like soft and cute things.

Whether it was the Persian cat he raised when he was a child or the young prince, his son had always been unconditionally loving and tolerant.

Not to mention that the girl is so tender and beautiful that anyone who sees her would want to pinch her. Your Highness has been manipulated in this way, hasn't he?

Xuan Feng looked constipated. Gu Rucheng didn't bother to pay attention to his nonsense. He slowly finished the green bean cake in his hand and leaned back on the bed with a relaxed look.

"Okay, go get a room and rest. Starting tomorrow we will follow the exile team northward."

"Temporarily cut off all contact with others. There must be spies in the Bai family and the Dark Guards, otherwise the Aegis Guards would not be able to find our traces so accurately every time."

Xuanfeng listened and his face became serious. He was about to bow and leave when he heard his wife say in a low voice:

"The Sheng family is having a hard time these days, so stay here a little longer. If you find any spies nearby, or anyone lying in ambush to cause trouble, kill them immediately."

Xuanfeng: “Yes.”

It's over, the kid is really being held to death.

…

That night, the lights were dim, and all the prisoners and officials in the post station had gone to bed early.

A man who looked like a minor official seemed to have a stomachache in the middle of the night and hurried to the toilet.

He also knew how to walk as slowly as possible so as not to alarm anyone.

After squatting inside for a long time, he finally finished his life's work. He then, with his numb legs, carefully hurried to the shop where he lived.

But when I was passing through the jungle, a skinny hand suddenly grabbed my ankle and pulled me into the jungle!
