Chapter 226 I Can't Eat, You Feed Me!

Half a year later. Kyoto City

"No, I can't eat, you feed me!" Qi Xuan glanced at the bowl in Meng Fuling's hand, insisting that Meng Fuling feed him.

"You hurt your leg, not your hand." Meng Fuling felt helpless in the face of Qi Xuan's scoundrel.

On the isolated island, when the cave collapsed, Qi Xuan protected her with her body, and she also thought that the two of them would be stoned to death in the cave.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan's perseverance was astonishingly strong, he insisted on hugging her, using his little internal energy, he rushed to the outermost cave.

The cave where the gold is placed is connected to the caves outside, and once it collapses, all the caves will collapse.

As soon as they reached the entrance of the cave outside, Qi Xuan was hit on the back by a huge stone before he could run out, and fell to the ground holding Meng Fuling in his arms.

Qi Xuan's legs were buried in the collapsed hole, and were hit by many rocks.

Both of them fell into a coma, perhaps their lives were undeserved, and the next day, they were rescued by Gong Lie, Yi Qianzhong and others.

It turned out that Gong Lie and several of his subordinates also jumped into the sea at that time, but because of the sudden tsunami, they were separated from Qi Xuan and the others.

They didn't rush to the isolated island, but were lucky enough to rush to the shore beyond the woods, where they met Yi Qianzhong who had arranged for Luo Yunhao and found him.

After that, they searched for Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling together, searched for several islands, and finally found this isolated island, and entered the forest with their footprints.

But Qi Xuan's feet were pressed for too long, and his leg bones were broken, especially the tibia was the most damaged. In other words, his legs were useless.

However, with Yi Qian's presence, it doesn't matter if his leg is disabled, he can still be cured, but it will take a lot of time until he is fully recovered and can stand up.

Seeing that Qi Xuan's injuries had healed, Meng Fuling drew a blueprint and asked someone to make a wheelchair for him because of his leg problems and he couldn't walk around.

She was worried about his legs, but this guy didn't take it seriously, he was happy to enjoy her care as an uncle who stretched out his hands to eat and opened his mouth.

"It's all the same." Qi Xuan cheekily opened his mouth to accept Meng Fuling's feeding.

"Talking, it's strange to be the same!" Meng Fuling laughed.

Perhaps it is because they have experienced life and death that they cherish the time together even more. When no one else is around, Qi Xuan will show a rascal side.

After eating the last mouthful of seafood soup, Qi Xuan asked, "How are the houses on the island going?"

"It's almost there. I have to monitor some important details myself." Meng Fuling put down the bowl in her hand and frowned.

What Qi Xuan was talking about was the isolated island where Meng Fuling and Qi Xuan lived. It was within the border of the Great Chu Kingdom. They had recuperated on the island for a period of time before returning to the capital city.

After returning to the capital city, Qi Xuan sent people to dig out the collapsed cave, and after hiding the gold in the cave, he reported the gold mine to the imperial court and did not embezzle it privately.

After all, it is against the law to embezzle gold mines privately, and it was found that they would punish the nine clans.Of course, Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling naturally have a way to hide the gold mine.

It was Meng Fuling who wanted to turn the isolated island into a holiday island. After Qi Xuan resigned, they would also live on the island.

Since ancient times, the emperor's heart has been unpredictable. If they keep quiet, build an island and move to the island as soon as they resign, they will definitely make the emperor suspicious and suspicious.

Furthermore, they also wanted to get the island justifiably. Sure enough, as a reward, the emperor ordered someone to dig a gold mine and reward them with the island.

Meng Fuling asked Qi Xuan to choose some trusted people, and she also found craftsmen herself, and took her blueprints to go to the island to build houses first.

Now she wished she could go to the island to supervise in person immediately, but, Qi Xuan resigned on the grounds of bad legs and bad behavior, but the emperor did not approve it for a long time.

The emperor had appointed the fourth prince, Shang Qihan, as the crown prince. His body was healed by Yi Qianzhong, so he thought that Yi Qianzhong would definitely be able to heal Qi Xuan's legs.

Shang Qihan was originally the least powerful among all the princes, and it will be difficult for him to win the hearts of all when he ascends the throne in the future.

Qi Xuan's ability is extraordinary and his popularity is extremely high, mainly due to his unambiguous heart.The emperor wanted to keep Qi Xuan so that he could be used by Shang Qihan, so naturally he refused to let him resign.

"What if the emperor is determined and refuses to let you resign?" Meng Fuling's tone was a little annoyed.

Qi Xuan did his best for the emperor, and he voluntarily handed over his military power. He didn't even take the gold mine privately. It was really selfish for the emperor to keep him.

"If I can't stand up all the time—" Qi Xuan smiled coldly.

Before he finished speaking, Meng Fuling interrupted, "Nonsense! You will stand up!"

At this time, Little Winter Melon, who had been lying at the door for a long time and eavesdropped, finally couldn't help but say, "Mother, mother!"

Meng Fuling was surprised, but Qi Xuan was not surprised when he discovered that the little wax gourd was outside.

"Xiao Donggua's eavesdropping problem has to be corrected." Meng Fuling stroked her forehead helplessly and said, Xiao Donggua always loves to eavesdrop, and she was really afraid that one day when she and Qi Xuan were doing that kind of thing, he would overhear her.

"This guy!" Qi Xuan shook his head and laughed. When he mentioned the little wax gourd, his mood was very complicated.

Meng Fuling opened the door for Xiao Donggua, raised her hand and knocked on his head, and said angrily, "No eavesdropping is allowed in the future. If you have any questions, you can directly ask me and your father."

The phrase "your father" successfully made Xiaodonggua's face collapse, and he still refuses to call Qi Xuan "father". Qi Xuan, including Meng Fuling, can understand and will not force him.

Xiaodonggua knew that Meng Fuling did it on purpose, but she couldn't help but draw out her voice, "Mother!"

"Let's talk! What do you need to find your mother?" Meng Fuling smiled and pulled the little wax gourd, hugging his small body.

"Father, the emperor refuses to let him resign, maybe it's not because he wants him to be used by Shang Qihan." Xiaodonggua blurted out and wanted to call his father, but he stopped, and he glanced at Qi Xuan with a displeased look on his face. comfortable.

"How do you know? Could it be because you were his son and know him better?" Meng Fuling's eyes lit up when she heard that Xiao Donggua knew the reason.

"That's right!" Little Winter Gua nodded, and took out half a golden token from her body without being too condescending.

"What is this?" Meng Fuling took the token, and before she could take a closer look, it was taken away by Qi Xuan.

"It turns out that Wei Long Lingyi really said it." Qi Xuan was shocked when he saw half of the word "Dragon" on the token.

What is Weilong Order?What does it do?How could it be in the hands of Little Winter Melon?Meng Fuling was at a loss.

"At the beginning of the dynasty, the first emperor divided the treasury into two, one for the public and one for the dark. He also established the Dragon Guards to guard the treasury in the dark..." Qi Xuan told what he knew, Tell Meng Fuling eloquently.

The members of the Dragon Guard team were personally selected by the late Emperor. All of them were highly skilled in martial arts. They were forced to be loyal to the royal family. The late Emperor also made a rule that they could open the treasury in the dark only after seeing the complete Dragon Guard Token. Otherwise, it would be useless even if the emperor came in person.

The Weilong Order was divided into two halves, stipulating that the reigning emperor and the crown prince would each have half a piece of money.The reason why the first emperor made such a rule was to leave a way out.

For example, if a coup occurs, or the emperor is under the control of foreign ministers, the prince who holds the other half of the Dragon Guard Order can call the treasury in the dark, or the Dragon Guard Team.

"You mean that the former crown prince died, and the other half of Wei Long Ling disappeared. The emperor suspects that you took it?" Qi Xuan didn't say it clearly, but Meng Fuling understood it.

The emperor must have felt that Qi Xuan had a deep friendship with the former prince. After the death of the former prince, Wei Longling was also missing, and most likely fell into Qi Xuan's hands.

Considering Qi Xuan's influence in this dynasty, the emperor did not directly ask Qi Xuan for the order of Weilong. Therefore, even if Qi Xuan's legs were bad, the emperor did not agree with his resignation.

"If Xiaodonggua didn't take out the Weilong Token, I wouldn't have thought of this, because the Weilong Token is not in my hands at all." Qi Xuan stared at Xiaodonggua with a half-smile.

"What are you doing looking at me like that? I also suddenly remembered this." Xiao Donggua really just thought of this, otherwise, he would have taken out the Weilong Order long ago.

Meng Fuling slapped the little winter melon on the buttocks, and said angrily: "Then what's the use of taking it out now? Do you want the gourd to be presented to the emperor? In this way, wouldn't he be convicted of hiding the order of Weilong?" ?”

Qi Xuan's face was slightly unhappy, he glanced at Xiaodonggua, but didn't say anything.

"Of course not, I have to return the Weilong Token myself." Xiao Donggua had a slightly distressed expression.

"Then how?" Meng Fuling disagreed. If Xiaodonggua returned the order of Weilong himself, wouldn't it be revealing his identity?

Before, she and Qi Xuan were worried, if the emperor knew that the soul residing in the little winter melon was his son, would he allow the existence of the little winter melon?
After all, the emperor is most taboo about things related to superstition, and may kill the little wax gourd as an ominous person.

Since they had such concerns, Qi Xuan and Meng Fuling naturally did not want Xiao Donggua's identity to be revealed, let alone return the order of Wei Long to the emperor with Xiao Donggua's own hands.

"Otherwise, what can I do?" Xiao Donggua was also very helpless, if it was possible, he didn't want the emperor to know, it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

yes!If the order of Wei Long is not returned, the emperor will not let Qi Xuan resign, or even make some calculations.

Although Meng Fuling was distressed about this, she couldn't blame the emperor. After all, it was impossible for any emperor to let such an important thing fall into the hands of a courtier, even if this courtier was loyal.

"He wasn't sure if the Weilong Token was in my hands, so he didn't ask me directly." Qi Xuan was a little annoyed. He clearly didn't have the Weilong Token, but he was suspected, so he felt uncomfortable.

On the day of Xue Shi and Yue Shaoqing's rejoicing, Xiao Donggua smuggled into the palace with the queen's phoenix car, and was caught by Qi Xuan in the East Palace.

At that time, Qi Xuan saw that Xiao Donggua secretly took out a thing in a small black brocade bag from the study, he didn't ask much, but thinking about it now, Xiao Donggua should be holding Wei Long Ling.

Qi Xuan paused for a moment, then Fang asked Xiao Donggua, "You sneaked into the East Palace by yourself before to get the order of Weilong?"

"Yes." Xiaowagua lacked confidence and dared not go to see Meng Fuling.

Qi Xuan followed Xiaodonggua's eyes to Meng Fuling's, and his heart skipped a beat. Fang felt that something was wrong. At that time, the father and son had concealed their entry into the palace from Meng Fuling.

Sure enough, Meng Fuling's face darkened, "Okay! It turns out that the two of you lied to me together. Who said you wouldn't lie to me again?"

After finishing speaking, Meng Fuling wanted to stretch out his hand to grab Qi Xuan's ear, Qi Xuan quickly turned his head, "Stop! Fuling, if you want to grab my ear, you have to wait until Xiaodonggua is not around."

Qi Xuan thought to himself, how embarrassing is it to pull Xiao Donggua's ears in front of him?
Little Winter Melon covered her mouth and snickered, the atmosphere was a little dignified, but after this, it became much more relaxed.

"Still laughing? It's you, brat, who should be punished—" Qi Xuan said angrily, before he finished speaking, his expression changed slightly.

Seeing this, Meng Fuling stopped joking, "What's wrong?"

Qi Xuan didn't answer, but looked at Xiaodonggua fixedly, "Does Xiaoping know that you put the order of Weilong in a black brocade bag?"

He suddenly remembered that when Xiaodonggua found the brocade bag in the study, Xiaopingzi was also there.

Xiaopingzi's expression obviously knew what was in the brocade bag, and he added: "It turns out that His Highness is hiding here, and you keep it yourself, is it safe?"

Xiao Donggua thought that Xiao Pingzi was concerned about him, and replied casually: "I will let mother take care of it later."

Qi Xuan also thought that it must be important for Little Winter Melon to take the risk and go back to the East Palace to find it in person.

But at that time, he had just learned about Xiao Donggua's identity, and he was very shocked. He also thought that if Xiao Donggua wanted to tell him, he would naturally speak up.

Later, there were so many situations that Qi Xuan forgot to ask Meng Fuling and Xiaodonggua if they had anything for her to keep.

"I know, but he doesn't know where I hide." Xiaodonggua's eyes darkened when he heard Xiaopingzi's name.

Xiaopingzi has served him since he was a child, and he always thought that Xiaopingzi was loyal, but he didn't know that it was a dark thread buried by his side.

"Based on Xiao Pingzi's tone at that time, he should also be looking for Wei Longling." However, no one doubted Xiao Pingzi at that time, as Qi Xuan said, something seemed to flash through his mind.

Meng Fuling also looked enlightened, and stretched out her hands to grab the little wax gourd's ears, "Stinky boy, you are causing trouble, and you didn't let me keep the Weilong Order for you, no wonder Nangong Jue insisted on arresting me. "

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! Mother let go, I forgot!" Xiao Donggua shouted exaggeratedly, but Meng Fuling didn't use much strength at all.

"Forget about the pain, mother was almost killed by you." Meng Fuling feigned anger and pretended to complain.

In fact, she thought to herself, Xiao Pingzi had been placed by Xiao Donggua's side by Shang Hongjing since he was a child, and Shang Hongjing was controlled by Nangong Jue. Nangong Jue must know what he found out.

Nangong Jue must have thought that Xiaodonggua had given Wei Longling to Meng Fuling, that's why he kept catching her.

The above were all Meng Fuling's guesses, but she thought about it, and felt wrong, Nangong Jue arrested her for Wei Longling's words, why didn't he force her to question her?
Xiao Donggua's puzzled eyes moved back and forth between Meng Fuling and Qi Xuan, not knowing what they thought of.

In the end, it was Meng Fuling who expressed his doubts, but Qi Xuan said that maybe Nangong Jue was being chased by him so closely that he didn't press Meng Fuling immediately.

Only this explanation works, Xiao Donggua frowned and said: "The emperor has been controlled by Nangong Jue for so long, maybe the other half of the Weilong Token has already been taken by him."

yes!Why didn't they think of this possibility?Meng Fuling and Qi Xuan looked at each other.

If this is the case, then the other half of the Weilong Ling was buried in the cave along with Nangong Jue's body. Even if a house was to be built on the island, his body would be disposed of. In short, the half of Weilong Ling also disappeared from the world.

"Damn it! Your Majesty thinks that you have the two pieces of Weilong Token, right?" Meng Fuling was startled, looked at Qi Xuan, and couldn't help raising her voice.

Xiaodonggua and Qi Xuan nodded at the same time when they heard the words. Since they found a gold mine, they had to report it to the emperor, so naturally they had to tell the emperor what happened.

Knowing that Nangong Jue died in the hands of Qi Xuan, the emperor might think that Qi Xuan took the other half of the Weilong Token from Nangong Jue.

"It's rare that the emperor can hold his breath and didn't directly ask you for the order of Weilong." Meng Fuling frowned.

"This is just our guess." While speaking, Qi Xuan looked at Xiaodonggua, thinking about the solution.

"Whether it's our guess or not, I have to personally return the Weilong order." Xiaodonggua insisted on entering the palace.

"No, what if he wants to hurt you?" Meng Fuling didn't dare to gamble with Xiaodonggua's safety.

"Don't worry, he won't!" Xiao Donggua thought for a while, with a confident look on her face.

Seeing Little Winter Melon like this, Meng Fuling finally compromised, "That's all! I'll accompany you into the palace."

Even though he knew that there was an adult soul in Xiaodonggua, Meng Fuling was not at ease to let him face the emperor alone.

In fact, Qi Xuan also wanted to accompany Xiao Donggua into the palace, looked down at his legs, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

"Hulu, take a good rest." Meng Fuling helped Qixuan to lie down, and walked out of the room with Xiaodonggua.

Unbeknownst to Meng Fuling, after the door closed, a person crawled out from under the bed.

This person is not Feng Lin, who is it?He felt deeply aggrieved, "Finally left, hiding under the bed, it's so uncomfortable!"

Yi Qianzhong rushed back to Yaowang Valley yesterday, so he handed over the special acupuncture method to Fenglin, and asked Fenglin to help Qixuan acupuncture and moxibustion his legs every day, so as to help him recover soon.

"General, why didn't you tell Madam that you can walk now?" Feng Lin asked puzzled.

Before Meng Fuling came in with the food, Feng Lin had finished acupuncture for Qi Xuan and was helping Qi Xuan to practice walking.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Meng Fuling came, Qi Xuan asked Feng Lin to hide under the bed, so as not to let Meng Fuling know that he could walk a few steps.

"Naturally, I wanted to give her a surprise." Qi Xuan said with a smile. The surprise he was talking about was not only that he could walk, but also other things.

"Then you don't have to hide under the bed, right? Anyway, Madam knows that you need acupuncture every day." Feng Linyou complained.

When Qi Xuan heard Meng Fuling's footsteps, he urged him to hide under the bed, as if they were having an affair and Meng Fuling came to catch the adulterer.

"Do you have an opinion?" Qi Xuan cast a cold glance at Feng Lin.

Of course Qi Xuan wouldn't say it, he was a little panicked, and before he had time to think about it, he let Feng Lin hide.

"You are the general and my boss, how can a villain have any objections?" Feng Lin's tone became more resentful.

"Stop talking nonsense! I have something for you to do..." Qi Xuan didn't talk nonsense with Feng Lin, and directly said the so-called 'business'.

After Feng Lin heard this, his eyes widened, "How can this be done? Is that the emperor?"

"It's okay, the emperor is used to it anyway." Qi Xuan said disapprovingly.

Well!Feng Lin was completely speechless by Qi Xuan's words, asking him to do such a rebellious thing, yet he still confidently said that the emperor is used to it.

Feng Lin suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the emperor, which emperor should be so unlucky as him?

"Go! Be sure to enter the palace ahead of Fuling and the others." Qi Xuan urged.

******
Meng Fuling accompanied Xiaodonggua to obtain the order of Weilong, and entered the palace with him.

On the way, Meng Fuling couldn't help asking Xiao Donggua, "Xiao Donggua, are you willing?"

Xiao Donggua propped her chin, smiled and pretended to be puzzled and said, "Mother, what are you willing to do? Xiao Donggua doesn't understand."

"Come on! Don't pretend to be confused, you know what mother means." Meng Fuling pinched the little wax gourd's pink face.

Sometimes, she would think that Little Winter Melon was originally the crown prince, and if there were no accidents, he would become the emperor of the Great Chu Kingdom, but he was poisoned to death, and somehow became her and Qi Xuan's son.

There is a huge gap in status and situation, how many people have fought for the throne, and he has no chance of the throne, will he be reconciled?

Meng Fuling always wanted to ask Xiaodonggua, but she didn't ask because she was afraid of bringing up his sadness.

Now, Xiaodonggua voluntarily met the emperor, so she couldn't help but ask again.

Asked out, Meng Fuling not only did not feel relaxed, but a little uneasy.After all, she was afraid of hearing an affirmative answer.

Xiao Donggua seemed to see through Meng Fuling's thoughts, "Mother, you are afraid that I will not be reconciled, are you?"

Without waiting for Meng Fuling to answer, Xiao Donggua asked back: "Since mother is afraid, why do you still ask?"

Meng Fuling choked up, her face turned reddish, and was momentarily stopped by Xiaodonggua's question.

Little Winter Melon was right, since he was afraid, why did he ask?If you hear an affirmative answer, wouldn’t you be asking for trouble?Meng Fuling paused for a long time before saying, "It's not that I'm afraid, the problem doesn't exist."

"That's right!" Little Winter Gua nodded, and said earnestly with the look that a child should have: "Mother, listen carefully! I was really reconciled at first, but now I have seen through it, and I like the life I have now."

What Xiaodonggua didn't say was, if it wasn't for that, how could he be mother and son with her?Isn't it a blessing for him?
Hearing what he said, Meng Fuling breathed a sigh of relief, and finally felt relieved.

While speaking, it didn't take long before they arrived at the palace gate. The queen mother had explained that Meng Fuling could enter and leave the palace freely.

Therefore, they went all the way without any hindrance, but it was a bit troublesome to ask to see the emperor, and there were many procedures.

Because of the relationship between Qi Xuan and Yue Shaoqing, the emperor was willing to see their mother and son, and even asked Eunuch Zhao to come and see them in person.

But Xiaodonggua suddenly said: "Mother, I'll go by myself, you wait for me here."

"Why?" Meng Fuling held Xiaodonggua's hand, not letting him go with Eunuch Zhao first.

She accompanied Xiao Donggua into the palace because she was worried about letting him see the emperor alone.

"Mother, you have to trust me." Xiao Donggua said in a slightly coquettish tone, and winked at Meng Fuling.

Meng Fuling knew that Xiaowagua showed such a mischievous side, she must have a well-thought-out heart, which made her look so relaxed.

Eunuch Zhao at the side was wondering why Meng Fuling's mother and son wanted to see the emperor, but now that they are like this, they don't understand why.

But Eunuch Zhao knows how to read words and expressions, and at a glance, he knows that the person who really wants to face the saint is Xiaodonggua, not Meng Fuling.

Then he said with a kind smile: "Madam, why don't we ask someone to take you to the side hall for a rest?"

"Then it's Eunuch Lao." Meng Fuling hesitated for a moment, but chose to believe in Xiaodonggua instead of insisting.

Eunuch Zhao recruited a young eunuch and took Meng Fuling to the side hall to wait for the little wax gourd.

"Mother, don't worry, I'll be out soon." Xiaodonggua waved to Meng Fuling and followed Eunuch Zhao.
