The Ninth Prince next to him was also dumbfounded. "What kind of talk is this, Grandfather? Hitting his fist with your face?"
This was the first time he had ever heard such a statement in his life.
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Quji slapped him across the face as well, "And you! How dare you use your belly to push against the Eighteenth Prince's foot!"
"Are you tired of living?!"
The Ninth Prince covered his face, and seeing this, he quickly admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, Grandfather, I will never dare to do it again, please forgive me!"
He was perceptive enough to see that Feng Quji's strange behavior at this moment must have some other reason.
Only the Eighth Prince, stubborn as a mum, stared at Feng Quji in bewilderment and said, "It is I who is injured, Grandfather. Look closely, my eyes are swollen and my body is covered in injuries!"
"That guy wasn't hurt at all, why did you hit me!"
The Eighth Prince felt extremely wronged.
They came to seek justice, but instead, they got beaten up again.
Seeing that he was still arguing, Feng Quji became even angrier and chased after him, beating him violently.
He beat her while yelling, "How dare you talk back! You've gone too far!"
Driven to desperation by the beating, the Eighth Prince could only hide behind Ying Zheng, crying out, "Father, save me!"
He was Feng Quji's grandson, but also Ying Zheng's son.
Moreover, as an emperor, Ying Zheng's status was higher than Feng Quji's.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng waved his hand, "That's enough, Prime Minister Feng."
Upon hearing this, Feng Quji had no choice but to stop and dared not act rashly again.
The Eighth Prince was deeply moved and looked at Ying Zheng with eyes full of gratitude, "Father, you are the one who is best to me!"
He really is my biological father!
Ying Zheng turned to look at him, "Prime Minister Feng must be tired too. Bring me the stick, I'll beat him!"
The Eighth Prince's face stiffened. "Ah?!"
The Eighth Prince was filled with regret.
Ying Zheng was younger than Feng Quji, and he fought much more fiercely.
After a series of wails, Ying Zheng had him carried away.
Feng Quji frowned deeply. How come the Feng family always produces such fools who want to harm him!
After the Eighth Prince was carried away, Feng Quji looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my handling of the matter?"
Ying Zheng nodded. "You may step down."
"promise!"
After Feng Quji withdrew, Xiao Huhai stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Father Emperor, thank you, Consort Shu!"
He was well aware that the reason for this biased situation was because of these two people.
Otherwise, given his utterly weak power, dealing with Feng Quji today would undoubtedly be another problem.
Consort Shu looked at him, her eyes serious, "Xiao Hai, you are my child. If anyone bullies you in the future, tell your mother! Your mother will take care of him!"
Ying Zheng also looked at him, "If your mother can't control him, tell your father, and I'll skin him alive!"
Little Hu Hai's eyes reddened slightly. "Thank you, Father and Mother!"
It feels so good to have someone standing beside you and you can lean on them.
He then walked over to the little guy and took out a small dog model from his pocket; it was only the size of a palm.
It's made of wood, with a slightly shiny finish, and looks quite exquisite.
The little guy was quite curious. "What is this?"
Little Hu Hai wound up the model and then placed it on the ground, and the puppy began to run.
Little Hu Hai looked at the little guy and said, "This is your first birthday gift. It is a toy made by the Mohists and is very popular outside."
He came back this time to give the little guy a first birthday present.
The little guy took the model and, imitating Little Hu Hai, wound it up. Then he put the model on the ground, and it started running.
The little guy beamed, "Thank you, Brother Hai, I really like it!"
Seeing that the little guy was satisfied, Hu Hai also smiled, "If you like it, then my trip was worthwhile."
Then he looked at Consort Shu and said, “Mother, I have been away for a long time. I should go back now, otherwise Master will worry.”
Consort Shu looked at him with concern, "Studying must be very hard, right? No matter what, you must take good care of yourself, eat and drink well!"
Little Hu Hai nodded, "Don't worry, Mother, I'm not a child anymore. I've even gained weight lately!"
Consort Shu nodded. "That's good."
But a hint of worry always lingered in his eyes.
She always felt that Xiao Huhai said that on purpose, so as not to worry her.
After bidding farewell to Consort Shu and Ying Zheng, Xiao Huhai boarded a carriage and left the city.
The coachman stopped in front of a security escort agency in the direction he pointed.
As Xiao Huhai entered the escort agency, the middle-aged manager greeted him, "What would you like to transport, sir?"
Little Hu Hai pointed to two jars outside the door, "Two jars of wine."
The shopkeeper was taken aback, then asked, "Where are you sending it to?"
Little Hu Hai took out a piece of silk cloth from his bosom, on which was a map.
The shopkeeper examined the map and carefully checked the route before finally determining the destination.
His brows furrowed immediately. "This place is too desolate, almost no one sets foot here. I'm afraid no one in the escort agency would be willing to go there."
"Besides, you can't make much money by just transporting two jars of wine."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hu Hai declared, "Three times the price!"
The shopkeeper frowned at him. "It's not about the money. That place is desolate and dangerous, and we're unfamiliar with the roads. Exploring it will take a lot of time, I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish speaking, Little Hu Hai added, "Ten times!"
The shopkeeper's expression shifted slightly, then he called out loudly, "Load the goods!"
As he watched the wine being taken away, Xiao Huhai looked towards the direction of the imperial city.
Mother, brother, don't worry, I won't let you get into danger.
At the same time, the little guy stood by the window, also looking towards the direction outside the imperial city.
You need to grow up quickly and become stronger!
Indeed, no matter the world, strength is the strongest asset.
