Just as Shen Xingmian was feeding water to the patients, a considerable commotion broke out ahead. She looked up and realized it was too far away to hear what was happening.
The official whose buttocks were burned is probably recovering and hasn't come to cause trouble yet.
The Shen family's current location is far away from the two officials she least wanted to deal with. Even if they wanted to cause trouble, looking at this crowded road, they would probably give up the idea because they were too lazy to walk through the crowd.
He bent down and continued to feed water to the youngest patient. Of the four lying down, he was the only one who hadn't woken up yet.
The child was clearly malnourished, so Shen Xingmian secretly fed him some milk, which wasn't from her spatial storage but rather something she had taken from the Princess's residence.
Judging from the amount in that large basin, it's probably not for drinking; it's more likely for bathing.
She had already boiled it with her fire-based abilities and let it cool in the water for a while; now the temperature is just right for drinking.
Looking at the child's thin and frail appearance, Shen Xingmian had the illusion that she was taking care of a stray cat.
In her previous life, when she was all alone, even if she saw a pitiful child, she wouldn't have thought of adopting him, since she was too busy taking care of herself.
Once you bring it home, it means there will be endless trouble ahead.
Even a stray cat, once brought home, will create an unbreakable bond. The financial expense is one aspect, but being confined at home and unable to leave is another.
She was all alone, with no one to rely on, and felt utterly powerless to help herself.
But here, with ample supplies, she could easily support ten homeless children, so she was quite confident.
While she was feeding her, the person in her arms suddenly trembled slightly, slowly opened their eyes, and looked at her with a confused expression, their deep-colored eyes showing a hint of bewilderment from just waking up.
Shen Xingmian gave him a big smile and said happily, "You're awake!"
Her smile was genuine; after all, as someone who appreciates good looks, I can't help but feel fond of any beautiful creature I see.
It's hard for her not to like this child who is extremely beautiful and has particularly lovely eyes.
I like it so much that I've forgotten the physical discomfort I felt when I first saw it.
By the way, she still doesn't seem to know the child's name. Calling him the eldest grandson of the emperor would feel a bit awkward to her, a modern person who doesn't have much of a concept of imperial power.
Besides, he's already a prisoner. If he keeps yelling like that, what's the difference between that and rubbing salt into his wounds?
She would never do something so hurtful.
Xiao Yanyue recognized the person with the bright smile in front of her. She had been standing with the Shen family members, but why did he see her as soon as he opened his eyes?
Isn't he in the same prison van now?
No, he's still in the car. His vision is constantly shifting, and the man's face is squeezing in from behind the open curtain.
So, what exactly is the situation right now...?
Those people would never let him go; letting him die of illness was the best option for them.
Then why was I able to wake up?
After that night, he was constantly on the run with the guards, never stopping for a moment. They kept encouraging him to live on and avenge His Highness the Crown Prince.
But he's only nine years old. Even if he's practiced martial arts since childhood, his strength is far less than an adult's. What can he possibly accomplish? And how could the person sitting on the throne let him grow up peacefully?
They say to nip it in the bud, and now, he is that root, so weak that he can be easily wiped out.
Moreover, he's already a cripple...
He could never grow up safely again, and he could never avenge his father and mother...
If that's the case, why save him? It would be easier to just let him die and reunite with his father and mother.
Xiao Yanyue thought somewhat negatively.
But he quickly rallied. His parents' revenge was still unavenged, and that villain was still enjoying boundless glory. He absolutely could not let him become complacent.
He must live! Even if he's crippled, he must use his last bit of strength to tear a piece of flesh from those people!
Shen Xingmian watched the child go from confusion to composure, and felt a pang of sadness. At such a young age, he had experienced such a life-and-death separation. How much pain he must have felt was beyond the comprehension of others.
She pulled out a bamboo tube from her spatial storage, which contained brown sugar millet porridge. This was the most suitable food for him at the moment, and it didn't seem too out of place.
"Come on, let me help you up. Have some porridge first. You're too weak; you need to nourish yourself properly," Shen Xingmian said gently, afraid of frightening the child.
Brown sugar millet porridge isn't very nutritious, but she cooked it with supernatural water, so the effect was exceptionally good.
Xiao Yanyue struggled to his feet, his will to survive compelled him to take the bamboo tube and eagerly drink the porridge, yet his movements were not rough or clumsy.
Good manners seemed to be etched into the child's bones, ensuring that even after becoming a prisoner, he did not lose the dignity of the eldest grandson of the emperor.
After finishing the drink, he politely thanked her and returned the bamboo tube to Shen Xingmian.
The child's voice hadn't changed yet, and even though it was a little weak and hoarse, it still sounded very nice, making Shen Xingmian instantly feel like she might become a protective mother.
This is so cute!
The fever had subsided, and the little girl's face was no longer flushed, but rather sickly pale. Any mother would probably find it hard to bear seeing such a beautiful child suffer.
Although Shen Xingmian has never been a mother or owned a pet, she has seen many similar videos.
However, the real child in front of me looks even prettier than the beautified baby in the video.
