The words "illegitimate son" are like an inescapable curse; just those two words shattered all of Xiao Ling's pretense.
His once warm face could no longer muster a smile, and he let out a helpless, self-deprecating laugh.
"Yes, Your Majesty is adept at killing by destroying one's spirit. He only wants a fiefdom, which I will give you!"
"Good boy!"
Xiao Xuan curled his lips, chuckled, patted Xiao Ling's face, turned around, and waved casually.
"Let them go."
Qingyu Guard obeyed the order, threw Shen Yun aside, and retreated behind Xiao Xuan.
Shen Yun was like a lump of mud at this moment, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Seeing Xiao Xuan's smug look, Xiao Ling felt so resentful that he could only grit his teeth. If it weren't for Shen Yun today, he wouldn't have suffered this humiliation for no reason.
The man's facial muscles twitched slightly, but he dared not show it too obviously.
The time is not yet ripe, so he can just endure it. Once all the forces have gathered, that will be the time for Xiao Xuan to perish.
He will definitely step on Xiao Xuan's head and ask him personally who is the rightful ruler of this world.
After Xiao Ling left, Li Chengyan hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "What, are you really afraid that I can't beat this kid? Hehe, but Jingyuan, you were really impressive just now."
"Really? Isn't this normal procedure?" Xiao Xuan glanced at Li Chengyan casually, then headed towards the inner courtyard.
I had only taken two steps when I heard a heart-wrenching scream from behind me.
Xiao Xuan turned around and saw Li Chengyan squatting in front of a pile of ruins, holding a few pieces of debris in his hand.
"Oh dear, how could I forget about this? If I had known he was coming, I should have hidden it. This is an antique from over a thousand years ago that I painstakingly found in Jiangnan!"
Li Chengyan howled like a pig being slaughtered, then glanced at Xiao Xuan out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing that the person had not left, he forced out two more tears.
"But it cost me most of my life's salary! Oh, what am I going to do?"
After crying for a while, he turned around to check again, but Xiao Xuan was nowhere to be seen.
Li Chengyan cursed inwardly and threw down the broken porcelain shards.
"They must be eager to see the celestial beauty. I'll go and take a look too."

Listening to the Wind Garden
That afternoon, Ningyin gave the old woman acupuncture and massaged several acupoints for her.
The toxins in the old woman's body have now been completely cleared.
With a few more doses of medicine and proper care, the body will be able to recover completely.
She instructed Su Xin to find pen and ink and quickly write down a prescription.
"Madam, take this prescription to the pharmacy to get some medicine. Take it for seven days and you will recover completely."
After saying that, she put the prescription into the old woman's palm, and then asked Su Xin to bring ten taels of silver.
"Take this money and buy some supplements or something."
After doing all that, Ning Yin turned around, only to hear a thud behind her.
"Dr. Ning, I kowtow to you! If it weren't for you, I would have been dead long ago. You are truly a celestial being from heaven!"
The old woman kept kowtowing to Ningyin as she spoke.
Ning Yin and Su Xin hurriedly helped the woman up. "Madam, what are you doing? It is a doctor's duty to save lives. There is no need for such a grand gesture. Besides, it was you who helped me clear my name."
Seeing the old woman's eyes filled with tears, Ningyin took out a handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
“What a good girl. But I… alas, I have nowhere to go back to. That home is no longer a home. If you don’t mind, I would like to stay and serve you. I hope you will grant my request.”
Actually, this old woman was only in her early fifties, and she was quite healthy.
The poison had damaged my health, but the medicine I prescribed can completely solve this problem.
She was indeed short of someone to take care of her. Although Su Xin had learned a lot about medicine, when she got busy, there were many things that needed to be handled by someone.
So when the old woman said that, Ning Yin readily agreed.
Whether she opens a clinic or becomes a royal physician, she will make sure Su Xin and the old woman are taken care of.
"Since you don't want to go back to that painful place, then stay. By the way, I still don't know how to address you."
"Young lady, my surname is Zhang, and my given name is Cuixi."
"Alright, then may I call you Granny Zhang from now on?"
"Oh, young lady, I'll go and cook for you right away."
The old woman rubbed her hands together happily, thinking about what she could do to repay Ning Yin for saving her life.
Su Xin covered her face and smiled as she pulled her aside: "Granny Zhang, there are cooks in this mansion, you don't need to cook."
"Oh dear, someone's cooking. What should this old woman cook? I can't just stay here for free, young lady."
Granny Zhang slapped her thigh, flustered and at a loss for what to do.
"Granny Zhang, once you've recovered your health, you'll naturally have things to do."
Ningyin sat on the couch with a smile and began to sew the sachet that she hadn't finished last time.
Just then, Xiao Xuan, dressed in a black robe embroidered with gold, walked into the room.
"What are you talking about, you seem to be having a great time?"
Xiao Xuan had shed his previous fierceness, and a gentle smile graced his warm and handsome face.
Ning Yin, Su Xin, and the others turned their heads upon hearing this.
Su Xin hurriedly bowed to Xiao Xuan, saying, "Young Master Li..."
Xiao Xuan nodded, and Su Xin, with great insight, pulled Zhang Mama along and headed outside.
Since His Highness the Crown Prince has come, it would be too inappropriate for the two of them to stay here.
Moreover, her heart couldn't help but pound whenever she saw Xiao Xuan's face.
He is indeed the most noble man in the world; how could a servant like him possibly have the right to covet him?
