While escaping in a hurry, he was tripped by a stone.

He fell headfirst into the mud pit, and the muddy mud rushed into his eyes, mouth and nose.

He coughed violently, almost coughing out his entire lung, and hot tears fell from his eyes.

I don’t know how long it took, but the coughing and wheezing finally subsided.

His strength was also exhausted.

He turned over and collapsed weakly in the rain.

He had just escaped extremely fast, even faster than when he was hunted by the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, because he was worried that his son would catch up with him.

But he was panting, and there was only the lonely sound of rain around him, and no sound of pursuing footsteps.

He suddenly felt a little lost in his heart.

A tidal feeling of fatigue surged over his limbs and his eyelids began to feel heavy.

etc.

He can't sleep!

He wanted to go back to Baihua Palace to inform Yunshuang and Yunlin and ask them to be careful of Xiahou Yi!

He pulled out the hairpin from his head and stabbed it into his left arm.

The severe pain once again brought him back to his senses.

He gritted his teeth, got up, took extremely difficult steps, and staggered back to the gate of Baihua Palace.

Boom! This time, the door was open.

He was knocked away in an instant and fell to the ground.

A disciple came over holding an umbrella.

"Why you again?"

The disciple asked curiously, "What on earth do you want to do by going back and forth?"

Xiahou Qing panted and said, "I want to...see...your...Palace Master..."

The disciple turned back and looked into the darkness: "Young Palace Master, he said he wanted to see the Palace Master!"

Xiahou Qing was shocked. His son didn't leave?

Ling Yun came over holding an umbrella.

Xiahou Qing hurriedly raised his sleeves to prevent the other party from seeing his current appearance.

But after lifting it several times, it drooped down weakly.

"Do you have something to do with my mother?"

Ling Yun said lightly.

Xiahou Qing turned his head and said in a very hoarse voice: "I was sent by... the city lord."

Ling Yun said: "Oh, it's so late, what did he send someone here for?"

Xiahou Qing swallowed the pain in his throat and the bitterness in his heart, resisted the urge to look at his son, and said, "The city lord... was assassinated... by Xiahou Yi... From now on... you should not look for the city lord again... and... Xiahou Yi... has been pretending... that his illness... is not that serious..."

Ling Yun asked: "Why should I believe you?"

Xiahou Qing always had his back to Ling Yun.

He trembled and took out a small stone from his arms: "This is... the city lord asked me to bring it here... He said... thank you Erhu..."

This is the lucky stone that Erhu gave to Xiahou Qing this afternoon.

Of course, it’s not free.

Erhu must have at least a hundred of these small stones, but he knows every one of them.

The disciple took the stone and handed it to Lingyun.

Ling Yun took a look and then asked calmly, "What else did he say?"

Xia Houqing choked up and said, "He said... he is not a good husband... nor a good father... he is sorry for Yun Xi... and you."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, and hot tears slid down along with the rain.

He struggled to stand up, hunched over, and staggered into the rain.

With my son's intelligence, he should be able to understand everything when he meets the fake city lord tomorrow.

Lost everything overnight.

In the end, what he couldn't let go of the most was not the position of city lord, not the Xiahou family, not the wealth and power, but this son whom he owed for more than 20 years.

His son shouldn't be too sad if he died.

Boom!

Another flash of thunder.

He hit his head against a rock and broke it and bled.

He smiled as he felt the pain.

The second thunderbolt flashed, and he could no longer hold on and fell straight down. -The next day, the sky was clear.

Xiaohu sat on the futon, his little body lying on the table, learning the words with a bitter and resentful look on his face.

Dahu learned everything Lingyun taught him, and Erhu also learned a lot.

Only Xiaohu didn't know a single word! The laughter of Dahu and Erhu came from the yard.

Xiaohu said angrily, "Humph! It's nothing great to have a salty mouth! Xiaofu, go find your sister! I don't want to play with Dafu and Erfu!"

Xiaohu raised his chin and walked out of Qingyun Palace without looking back.

In Feiyun Palace, Su Xiaoxiao had just finished feeding Wei Xiaobao.

Princess Hui'an brought Wei Xiaobao over.

Wei Xiaobao was awake at the moment, looking at her with a pair of big black eyes, and he would laugh whenever Princess Hui'an teased him.

Chu Feifeng came over to tease her.

She giggled too.

The two women's hearts were melted.

Suddenly, Gui Bu coughed lightly and teased her in a cold manner.

Wei Xiaobao's smile disappeared.

That serious expression seemed to be saying, to please my aunt and my auntie, I also have to please you? "Ah! My arm! My arm is gone! Who took my arm!"

Wei Liulang's angry voice came from the other room.

"Sixth Master, your arm is missing again? How many times has this happened this month?"

It is the voice of Lingyin.

Su Xiaoxiao shuddered and smiled at Princess Hui'an and Chu Feifeng: "Xiaobao doesn't seem to be full. I'll feed him again."

As she spoke, she carried Wei Xiaobao into the inner room.

Princess Hui'an couldn't bear to part with the soft little guy: "Just feed him, why carry him inside?"

Let her feed it!

She wanted to feed Xiaobao! Su Xiaoxiao climbed onto the bed, lowered the curtains, and asked Wei Xiaobao sternly: "Did you take your sixth uncle's arm again?"

Wei Xiaobao looked innocent.

Su Xiaoxiao closed her eyes and walked into the pharmacy, opened Wei Xiaobao's warehouse, and saw a golden arm lying on a pile of gold, silver and jewelry.

Su Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said, "How many times have I told you not to touch your sixth uncle's arm!"

Wei Xiaobao blinked and hugged Su Xiaoxiao’s face with his little hands: “Woo woo woo woo!”

It seems to be saying: Xiaobao loves you!

"I'll deal with you later!"

Su Xiaoxiao held Wei Xiaobao in her arms, took the golden arm and went to Wei Liulang's room, saying calmly, "Ah, Liuge, I forgot to tell you that I took your arm to be repaired again. Didn't you just coax Xiaobao to sleep? When I came to hold her, I saw that you were asleep, so I didn't wake you up."

Wei Liulang took the golden arm and said, "Oh, you have repaired it several times this month. Is it about to fail?"

It's the same excuse every time, that is, Wei Liulang is a thick-skinned person and dotes on Su Xiaoxiao, so he didn't think Su Xiaoxiao's behavior was suspicious.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head seriously: "No, no! It's fine! You don't need to repair it anymore! I promise you!"

She held down Wei Xiaobao's little head that was looking around, and pointed her little face at Wei Liulang, "Promise."

Wei Xiaobao looked up at the sky: "Woo wow~"

At this time, someone came from Ling Yun's side: "Second Young Master's Madam, that person has woken up." -Xia Hou Qing woke up in a strange breath.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a dark face... of a horse! Yes, it was a horse's face.

He was shocked!

The four tigers were also frightened by him! The man and the horse froze in fear.

A little sweet treat in the middle of the night, with enough baby food.
