first minister

Time went back an hour ago, when the emperor's chariot slowly moved forward and arrived at the gate of the academy where the Qingbei Building was located. The disciples of the academy, represented by Xun Feihong, the direct descendant of the three outstanding heroes, had already arrived at the gate to greet him.

The young man's body can be said to be almost different every month. In just six months, with adequate nutrition and adequate exercise, the fourteen-year-old Xun Feihong's figure has become more and more tall and slender. When he saw Dongfang Bai stepping off the carriage, he hurriedly Come forward and salute respectfully.

Dongfang Bai stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his hand to help Xun Feihong up, "Senior Brother Xun, there is no need to be polite between you and me."

Such an amiable and approachable attitude is consistent with his attitude, and also meant to be seen by the possible "audiences" around him.

Xun Feihong is no longer the ignorant young man now. Especially after experiencing yesterday's story, he understands the value and intention of Dongfang Bai's coming today. He smiled and nodded, letting Dongfang Bai in.

The group of people walked into the academy and slowly walked towards Qingbei Building.

Just as they were approaching Qingbei Tower, there was a sudden commotion outside the door behind them.

Shang Zhicheng immediately stood in front of Dongfang Bai as if he were facing a formidable enemy. Soon the guards of the academy came to inform him that Duke An and Duke Wei were seeking to see him.

Shang Zhicheng breathed a sigh of relief. Dongfang Bai naturally had complete trust in these two old men and quickly invited them in.

Mr. Zhao and Mr. Su walked in hand in hand. When they saw Dongfang Bai, Mr. Zhao immediately said: "Your Majesty! I heard that Your Majesty left the palace and was very worried. I took the liberty to come here and ask for Your Majesty's forgiveness."

Old Xianggong Su, who had followed to suppress the formation, did not say anything and followed him with a salute.

Although Dongfang Bai is young, he has been on the throne for seven or eight months. Naturally, there is no problem with the etiquette of these monarchs and ministers. He smiled and said: "I am deeply gratified by the kindness of Duke Wei and Duke An, but I just came here to listen to Mr. There is no one else to teach you, so there won’t be any danger. The two ministers are worrying too much.”

Master Zhao Laozhuang said: "Your Majesty, although Marquis Laiyang has been executed, the traitor Xuanhu who was responsible for this matter has still not been arrested. It is far from safe and sound. Since his plan is so big, he will not have to prepare it alone. Your Majesty will leave the palace today. , for fear of being taken advantage of by traitors."

If ordinary people still said such words here in front of everyone in Qingbei Tower after he made his position clear, Dongfang Bai might have directly scolded him in a deep voice, but in front of him was Duke Shiwei, the pillar of the dynasty recognized by his mother and uncle. In addition, there is a generation of virtuous Prime Minister An Guogong behind him. Even if Dongfang Bai doesn't agree with this statement, he can only say: "Then what should I do according to Duke Wei's wishes?"

A mature man like Mr. Zhao, of course, was very aware of this youthful attitude, and immediately said: "Your Majesty's eagerness to learn is a model for the world, but your Majesty's safety is also a matter of concern to the people of the world. I am an old minister." See, you might as well order people to evacuate all the idle people in the Qingbei Tower, and order the imperial guards to guard the downstairs to protect Your Majesty."

It's not strict entry and exit control, body search control, etc. It simply prohibits anyone at risk from entering the Qingbei Tower and approaching His Majesty.

Although this is a bit unhuman and a bit reckless, it is the simplest and most direct method.

At this time, Mr. Su smiled and said, "I know your Majesty's heart, but if you are more cautious, it will not hinder your Majesty's intentions. I hope your Majesty will be considerate of the duties of the Duke of Wei."

Now Xun Feihong is receiving visitors from all over the world. He is favored by Xia Jingyun and occasionally gives advice. He is no longer a young man who doesn't know anything. Hearing this, he took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, the two princes are right. I'm sorry. Now I will inform the three gentlemen to clear the Qingbei Tower to ensure the safety of His Majesty."

Dongfang Bai also knew that these two old men were thinking about his own safety, so he didn't say much and nodded in agreement.

So soon, many disciples of the Three Masters of Tushan who were reading and studying on the first and second floors of the Qingbei Building, as well as those who planned to serve in the Qingbei Building, were invited out of the building. In the whole building, only The three old gentlemen, Dongfang Bai and Xun Feihong who climbed the stairs together, and Shang Zhicheng who stayed by Dongfang Bai's side every step of the way.

Although Mr. Zhao was a thick-skinned man, he did not go directly to the third floor to attend classes. He only took a few of Heibingtai's capable men to guard the second floor in case of any unexpected events.

Old Xianggong Su was sitting on the first floor, commanding the remaining imperial guards and Black Ice Platform spies.

On the third floor, Shang Zhicheng glanced around and found nothing suspicious. First, he planned to guard Dongfang Bai honestly. Then he looked around and suddenly realized that he should be the one serving tea and water. He quickly He was busy making tea and boiling water.

He carefully inspected the tea cups and found nothing wrong, so he poured a cup of tea for everyone.

Mr. Linxi sat in the middle of the three old gentlemen and looked at Dongfang Bai. "Nowadays, there are many storms in the government and state affairs. I am very grateful for your Majesty's presence today."

Although every ten days is Dongfang Bai's prescribed class time, due to the busy government affairs and Concubine De's pregnancy, Dongfang Bai has been absent from class two or three times. He came here specially today, and his good intentions are self-evident.

Dongfang Bai hurriedly said: "Sir, what you said is serious. You have given me the grace to preach, learn, and solve doubts. You are a role model to the students all over the world, and you have the virtue of opening up a wide range of learning opportunities. I should support your character and spirit, so as to rectify the world of scholars." wind."

Mr. Wan Lin smiled and said, "With you two, we can pass on our mantle and we will have no regrets in this life."

Mr. Kongbi picked up the tea cup in his hand and said, "Drink tea, and then let's start the class!"

Everyone picked up the teacups, signaled to each other, and took a sip.

Then the three old gentlemen began to teach, but as soon as they said a few words, Mr. Linxi frowned, clutched his stomach and fell down, followed closely by Mr. Wan Lin and Xun Feihong, who also clutched their stomachs, and Shang Zhicheng reacted immediately ,Oops! poisoned!

But before he could make any move, a figure swooped down from the beam on the side, like an evil eagle swooping down on its prey.

The moment Shang Zhicheng unsheathed his sword, the opponent raised his right hand, and a cold light shot towards Dongfang Bai.

Dongfang Bai also suffered from abdominal pain. Seeing the cold light going straight to his chest, he couldn't react in time!

Shang Zhicheng was so horrified that he threw the long sword in his hand, but it only passed through the afterimage of the sleeve arrow.

In the midst of this flash of lightning, Xun Feihong, who was lying on the table in pain, endured the pain, reached out and grabbed Dongfang Bai's royal robe, and pulled him back with all his strength.

The sleeve arrow landed on Dongfang Bai's calf and pierced hard. Blood flowed out instantly, staining the yellow hakama inside the robe red.

"Xuanhu! You deserve to be cut into pieces!"

Shang Zhicheng's violent shout reflected the unparalleled anger and horror in his heart, and at the same time, it also reminded the Black Ice Platform experts and guards downstairs.

At this moment, he was like a furious tiger, displaying his astonishing martial arts skills without any reservation, rushing forward at a terrifying speed. Xuan Hu, who had just landed, slipped a dagger from his sleeve, but Shang Zhicheng didn't care at all. Tan, the gleaming blade of the dagger was dodged by a hair's breadth, and he punched his forearm, causing Xuanhu's fingers to loosen. Then he twisted his waist and hit Xuanhu with a horizontal elbow. A mouthful of blood and several teeth flew out of his cheek.

After the attack was successful, Shang Zhicheng was even more unreasonable and flew forward with a knee strike. Xuan Hu was in a state of confusion with his arms crossed, but Pei Ran's huge force sent him flying out and smashed through the window. .

"Hahahaha! There are labor and business leaders to send you off!"

But he thought that Xuan Hu, who was beaten so hard that he had no power to fight back, suddenly laughed loudly, his smile so proud and sinister that his slurred speech seemed so hateful.

After all, the Tiger of the Forbidden Army could not defeat the Fox of Black Ice in the way of cunning.

Shang Zhicheng's eyes were spitting fire. When he saw the dagger on the ground, he bowed, twisted his waist, twisted his heels, and threw it out.

A stream of light went straight to Xuanhu's door in an instant. His first goal was to capture him alive, but if he couldn't capture him alive, he must not let this evil regicide escape!

Seeing the dagger flying like a meteor, Xuan Hu, who seemed to be flying in the air with no way to rely on, was already on guard. He threw a grabbing rope in his hand and wrapped it around a window edge at hand like a spiritual snake, swinging instantly. Open, Kankan avoided this stream of light.

"Shang Commander, you don't have to be far away"

Before the proud shouts stopped, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard in the ears.

He turned his head in surprise and saw a spear coming through the air. He was caught off guard and penetrated his body directly, nailing him to the huge pillar.

The trembling spear tail was like everyone's beating hearts at this moment.

The horror on Xuanhu's face and the shock of everyone at this moment were all condensed on this late spring and early summer morning.

All this sounds long, but in fact it only takes a few breaths, which is simply dizzying.

Chen Fugui, who accidentally learned of the situation while waiting outside the palace gate and hurried over, covered his right arm that was strained due to excessive force, and roared: "Why are you still standing there, save your majesty!"

Everyone below was waking up from a dream. On the second floor, Mr. Zhao, the owner of the village, had already led people to climb upstairs in a hurry. On the third floor, Shang Zhicheng's expression suddenly changed when he saw Dongfang's white and black wounds.

Xuanhu, this thief, actually put poison on the arrows!

He immediately tore off a piece of cloth, tied Dongfang Bai's thigh tightly, and then leaned down, trying to suck out the toxin from the wound.

"Commander Shang! Absolutely not!"

Mr. Zhao, the owner of the old village, grabbed him and said, "Such a highly toxic poison that seals the throat at the sight of blood. Taking drugs will only increase the number of deaths and injuries!"

As the actual controller of the Black Ice Platform, his regret at this moment is no less than that of Shang Zhicheng. "Whether it is atonement or death, we have to look at your majesty's condition first! Send your majesty to the palace quickly and let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat him. You are on the right track!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Zhicheng immediately picked up Dongfang Bai and ran downstairs!

Mr. Zhao, the owner of the village, walked to the window and glanced at the Xuanhu who was nailed to the pillar and was still alive. He said with a cold feeling like an eternal glacier, "Save this animal so that he can be diagnosed and treated. It would be too easy for him to die like this." !”

He hurried downstairs and looked at Mr. Su, "Brother Su, I'm so upset right now, I'll leave it to you to finish it off."

Mr. Su, who had witnessed this shocking incident, had an extremely solemn look on his face, but they, who were accustomed to seeing the ups and downs, could still maintain some composure. They nodded immediately, "Enter the palace with confidence, and protect the Queen Mother. I will Once settled, I will enter the palace to look for you."

Mr. Zhao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded and left.

Mr. Su looked at the messy scene, closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

The court, which had finally settled down, was about to become chaotic again.

In other words, this court has never been stable.
-

In Changle Palace, Xia Jingyun stood up suddenly after hearing Concubine De's words, looking shocked.

Concubine De comforted her at first: "Don't worry, Qingbei Tower is not a place where good and bad people are mixed, and Shang Zhicheng will always be by Xi'er's side, so that's for sure."

But she couldn't finish her words as soon as she started talking, because just as she thought she had nothing to worry about in the palace, didn't she also almost kill two people?

She couldn't help but look nervous. Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment and then said immediately: "I'm going to Qingbei Building."

"Gao Yang!"

Concubine De suddenly called out from behind. Xia Jingyun turned his head and met Concubine De's sad and pleading eyes.

Silence was worth a thousand words, Xia Jingyun nodded heavily.

But as soon as he took a step, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, "The Queen Mother!"

Xia Jingyun's expression suddenly changed, he rushed out quickly, looked at the panicked chamberlain, and shouted sternly: "Shut up! Don't disturb the Queen Mother. If you have anything to say to me, go out and tell me!"

The chamberlain was stunned for a moment, then stepped back outside as if he didn't understand.

But behind Xia Jingyun, a trembling but firm voice came, "Speak!"

The chamberlain glanced at Marquis Jianning and then at the Queen Mother.

Concubine De's face darkened, "The Aijia asked you to tell me!"

Seeing that the always kind Queen Mother rarely got angry, the chamberlain ignored Marquis Jianning's attitude and said quickly: "Your Majesty was poisoned and assassinated by Xuanhu in Qingbei Tower, and is now unconscious."

As soon as the words fell, Concubine De fell directly backward.

"Miss!"

Nanny Yuan exclaimed, caught it, and looked at Xia Jingyun helplessly.

Xia Jingyun's hands were trembling slightly, and he slowly regained his composure, "Help the Queen Mother go down and have a good rest, and tell her that I will handle these matters personally, so that she should not worry and take care of herself, Your Majesty."

He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I'll be fine." Nanny Yuan hummed and wanted to say something, but she was not qualified and couldn't express her words, so she had to watch the figure leave in a hurry.

In a daze, she seemed to have returned to Jiang'an City more than a year ago.

At that time, that figure that they thought was just an ordinary figure, in such a short period of time, had become everything they could rely on.

She took a deep breath and carefully helped Concubine De back to the bed.

Xia Jingyun hurried out of Changle Palace. He had just run not far away when he saw Jin Zhong coming in a hurry.

"Marquis Jianning! His Majesty has been sent to the palace. Please follow me there quickly!"

After Jin Zhong passed the message, Xia Jingyun was relieved and immediately followed him to Dongfang Bai's palace without hesitation.

Walking into the hall, a dozen imperial doctors lined up, waiting to treat Dongfang Bai, while Shang Zhicheng stood aside with an apologetic and nervous look on his face, not daring to breathe.

Seeing Xia Jingyun walking in, Shang Zhicheng hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, with a look of shame on his face, "Marquis Jianning, I am incompetent and failed to realize the plan of detecting the traitor, which led to the assassination of His Majesty. I will die without redemption!"

Xia Jingyun glanced at him, but didn't say anything. He just walked forward and looked at the doctors calmly, "How many people have been treating him?"

The imperial hospital hurriedly came out of the queue and took the initiative to answer: "Returning to the Marquis, four imperial doctors have already made the diagnosis. After all the imperial doctors have taken pulses, they can consult and prescribe a prescription."

Xia Jingyun said coldly: "There are still about ten people here. By the time you all finish reading, the day lilies will be cold!"

"The Marquis of Jianning doesn't know. This is a common occurrence for His Majesty to be seriously ill. This has been the case in all dynasties."

"The past is the past! The present is now! In the past, it was a serious illness that was difficult to get rid of, but now it is a first aid for poisoning. How can it be the same?" Is there anyone out there who is willing to give it a try?"

"Jianninghou"

Just as the hospital was about to say something else, Xia Jingyun's face turned cold, "Four doctors can't detect a single disease? You still want to coerce all the doctors to protect themselves and ask for a law without blaming everyone? If so, I don't mind destroying the entire hospital." All the quack doctors had their heads chopped off and buried with His Majesty!"

One sentence frightened everyone into silence. They didn't dare to say anything and just prescribed the prescription silently.

At this moment, a middle-aged imperial doctor who was ranked last came out and said, "Marquis Jianning, I am willing to give it a try."

Xia Jingyun turned to look at him and nodded, "Okay!"

Unknowingly, Xia Jingyun has quietly controlled the rhythm here. Although he is only a Marquis, his status as a central official, his status as the Empress Dowager's adopted brother and favorite minister, and his relationship with His Majesty's uncle all make it difficult for anyone here to understand. He was giving orders without any words to refute.

He followed the imperial doctor forward and looked at Dongfang's pale and purple face, tears almost bursting out of his eyes.

Although when he entered the palace directly before, he didn't know that Dongfang Bai was not in the palace and had not made any choice between him and Concubine De, but when he saw this person holding his hand, he called out "Ah" in a childish voice. Uncle; holding his hand and leading thousands of troops into the palace, the child was lying helplessly on the hospital bed. When death might take him away at any time, an uncontrollable feeling still appeared in his heart. Self-blame and pain.

If he had asked one more question at that time, if he had sent Chen Fugui to Qingbei Building as soon as possible, if

If anything, Dongfang Bai at this moment should be healthy and happy and call him uncle, and then pull him to tell those novel stories about Lieyang Pass and Yuyan State.

"Marquis Jianning! Your Majesty's injuries are of two types. One is the poison from the entrance, which is the main cause of your Majesty's abdominal pain and coma at this moment; the other is the hemolytic poison, which was injured by a sharp blade. This poison is more powerful and invades The heart veins are difficult to treat with medicine and stone. Someone who saw the opportunity simply tied up your Majesty's thighs tightly, preventing the blood from flowing smoothly. At this moment, the poison has not yet entered the heart veins, so your Majesty is still alive."

Xia Jingyun said directly: "Can you cure it? How should I cure it?"

The imperial doctor looked at Xia Jingyun with firm and bold eyes, and uttered two words, "Amputate the limbs to eliminate the hemolytic poison. Then slowly dissolve the poison in the mouth."

Hearing these two words, even Xia Jingyun, who had always been fearless, hesitated for an instant.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven.

Emperor, even lameness will be written off, let alone missing a leg.

His hesitation immediately gave the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital an opportunity to seize the opportunity and reprimand him angrily.

"Li Tianshi! You are so brave!"

"Your Majesty is a real dragon in the world, how dare you say such treasonous and unethical words!"

"Marquis Jianning, this man is so ambitious, please kill him as a warning to others!"

"Shut up, my lord!" Xia Jingyun scolded angrily in a cold voice, and immediately looked at the imperial doctor named Li, "Can you live without amputation?"

Doctor Li sighed, "Your majesty's good fortune may turn disaster into good fortune."

The implication is that since there is no cure, then let nature take its course.

Xia Jingyun frowned, "Let me think about it."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Taiyi Li's eyes, "Marquis Jianning, without further delay, I hope to make a decision as soon as possible. Amputation may not necessarily lead to survival, but..."

Xia Jingyun reached out and stopped, nodding to indicate that he understood. At this time, the previous doctors had also prescribed the medicine and handed over the prescriptions.

Xia Jingyun didn't understand the theory of medicine, but he directly handed these four lists to Dr. Li, "As long as you dare to say that, I believe in you. You can combine these four prescriptions to make a prescription, and then personally supervise the preparation and decoction of the medicines." , send it immediately! No delay!"

Doctor Li looked startled, and immediately showed how moved he was to die for his confidant, and followed the order.

Naturally, it is impossible for Taiyuan Hospital to make fresh decoction every time. It also has some top-quality detoxification pills prepared in advance. When Xia Jingyun personally took them to Dongfang Bai, Chen Fugui and Mr. Zhao had already arrived immediately.

Xia Jingyun looked at Chen Fugui and said, "Brother Chen, you're here at the right time. I'll draw some pictures while you go find General Superintendent Zhang Dazhi and ask him to prepare all these things and send them over immediately. If you don't have them, find someone with similar skills." Don’t delay using it.”

As he spoke, Xia Jingyun spread out his pen and ink and began to draw. Chen Fugui stood aside, looking at Xia Jingyun's extremely haggard and tired face, and couldn't help but said: "Master, please take a breath, even if it's just..."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Jingyun glared back.

Chen Fugui had no choice but to shut up and stop talking. Soon, Xia Jingyun had drawn a few objects and handed the paper to Chen Fugui, "Go and do it immediately, and then ask Jin Zhong to call Cao Jie, the steward of the imperial kitchen."

Although Chen Fugui was surprised, he didn't care, as long as the young master said something strange, he would just do it.

He hurried out and walked to Mr. Zhao, "Gong Wei, please advise me. He has hardly had a good rest since he visited Yuyan Prefecture more than half a month ago. He will return to Beijing in three days." , I never slept a wink along the way, never dismounted and unsaddled, I was really afraid that he would fall too, and this world would be really difficult."

Mr. Zhao said solemnly, "Okay."

But when he looked at Xia Jingyun, who was sitting beside the bed, exhausted and lonely, he felt a little hesitant because of his character, not daring to face it.

"Old owner, come in."

They were silent for a long time. Xia Jingyun's words made him have no choice but to walk in.

"Gao Yang, this is my negligence."

"Old owner, you don't have to be like this." Xia Jingyun interrupted him directly, "I believe you and Yanzhi have done everything you can. Now that this has happened, accountability is not the first priority. The most important thing is It is to save His Majesty and stabilize the government."

He didn't even know how much effort it took him to calm down and say these words.

And these words also left an indelible impression on the heart of the white-clothed imperial master.

After decades of ups and downs, Xia Jingyun was used to seeing heroes in the world, but Xia Jingyun could still think of these things at this moment. How could he not make him, the person directly responsible, filled with emotion?

"You just need to stay with His Majesty. Brother Su and I, even if we risk our lives, we will keep those little ones from taking the risk."

The old village owner Zhao said something, but for the first time in so many years, he felt that his promise was somewhat unconvincing and guilty.

"Old owner of the village, Dr. Li said that there are two kinds of poison in His Majesty's body, and amputation may be the only way to save it. What do you think?"

The owner of the village, Zhao, looked shocked, then took a few deep breaths and said slowly: "Since ancient times, no incomplete person has ever been the emperor."

Xia Jingyun lowered his head in silence, then raised his head to look at Mr. Zhao, "Xie'er is a person first, and an emperor second, right?"

But, in that case.

The old village owner Zhao was silent. He didn't know how to answer this question, because Xia Jingyun's words had already stood on the commanding heights of human ethics. Any words he said from a utilitarian perspective would become cold-blooded and disgusting.

At this moment, Doctor Li personally walked in with the medicine.

Xia Jingyun took it personally and slowly and carefully fed it into Dongfang Bai's mouth.

After finishing all this, Dr. Li in front of him did not leave. Instead, he knelt down directly and said, "Marquis Jianning, I kindly ask you to perform surgery on your majesty immediately. If it's too late, I might not be able to save this leg without amputation!"

Xia Jingyun stood up slowly and looked at the man in front of him, "Why are you so bold and dare to mention this matter? Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?"

"As an imperial doctor, I only know how to treat illnesses and save people. If Marquis Jianning kills me because of this, it would be a foolish and cruel person on the part of Jianning Marquis. But according to what I see, Marquis Jianning is not a foolish and cruel person."

Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment, "If the leg is amputated, how sure are you that His Majesty will recover?"

"I can only guarantee that after amputation, the poison in the leg wound can be removed, and His Majesty will not be killed or injured due to the amputation, but I cannot guarantee whether the poison in the entrance will also kill Your Majesty."

Xia Jingyun pondered again and said slowly: "Do you know if His Majesty is disabled, what impact will it have on the throne?"

Dr. Li said: "Only when people are alive can it be possible. If people are gone, everything will be in vain."

"Do you know what will happen if His Majesty wakes up and learns of our decision? How cruel is such behavior to an eight or nine-year-old child? There are so many things he has never done or experienced. ! He still wants to ride a horse to travel around the north of the Great Wall, he still wants to walk around the south of the Yangtze River shaking a fan, and he still wants to be an eternal sage. Step by step, he will climb to the high platform of Zen, offer sacrifices to the gods of heaven and earth, and become an emperor through the ages. How can you bear to do it now? Just cut off one of his legs and let him have to use crutches and a wheelchair for the rest of his life!"

Doctor Li raised his head in astonishment and looked at the emotional Marquis Jianning. He finally understood that it wasn't that Marquis Jianning didn't believe him, but that he couldn't pass the test in his own heart!

The owner of the village, Mr. Zhao, also realized that Xia Jingyun's rebuttals were not arguing with them, it was clearly him who was struggling!

But at this moment, an extremely slight and weak cry suddenly came from the quiet palace.

"Uncle."

Xia Jingyun's expression suddenly changed, and he rushed to the bedside and grabbed Dongfang Bai's hand, "Zhe'er! How are you? Are you feeling better? It's my uncle who was useless and didn't save you! It's all my fault!"

Dongfang Bai forced out a smile, "Uncle, just follow this imperial doctor's method."

"Pooh!"

"Uncle, I can't die yet."

He suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of shocking black blood.

His small body was supporting the bed board miserably, but his weak eyes gradually became firm, and he gasped and repeated: "I can't die yet."

Xia Jingyun, who suddenly understood Dongfang Bai's thoughts, looked at this strong and smart little boy and burst into tears almost instantly. (End of chapter)
