My Father and I Live in the Cold Palace

Chen Xiaozhuo's father, Concubine Liu Shiwen, was banished to the cold palace because of his immoral behavior and disobedience to the emperor, and his brother, the prince, was also taken in.

Life in the cold palace is hard, and adults will not live for more than a year or so. Everyone said that Concubine Liu and her son were probably gone this time.

Chen Xiaozhuo, who was only five years old, looked at his father's disfigured face and cried so hard that he almost fainted.

But he didn't expect his father to take out a gourmet quilt from the space and whispered to him: "Okay, okay, don't cry, Dad is playing a supporting role."

Chen Xiaozhuo: "If it wasn't for the delicious food, I would have thought you were crazy."

The protagonists are Chen Xiaozhuo and his father Liu Shiwen.

CHAPTER 1. Chen Xiaozhuo was arrested!

Chen Xiaozhuo was arrested

On a spring day in March, several princes and princesses gathered in Jinghui Palace to talk and play.

"Xiao Zhuo, you are such a glutton! You ate all the snacks in this box!"

The second prince wanted to eat some snacks brought by the fifth prince, but the fifth prince Chen Xiaozhuo didn't want to and was being scolded by everyone.

Chen Xiaozhuo was scolded so much that tears appeared in his eyes. His little face was puffed up like a baby bun. The light-colored brocade robe he was wearing was covered with snack crumbs, and he was holding a box of snacks in his hands.

"Okay, stop arguing, because if we quarrel over these things, people will hear us and laugh at us." The eldest prince said this, but the second prince still refused and reached out to grab it.

Chen Xiaozhuo has always been lazy, but he is very quick to protect his food.

The little short legs started to move, and he stuffed snacks into his mouth as he ran.

"I'm going to beat you to death!" The second prince caught Chen Xiaozhuo and saw that he had stuffed all the snacks into his mouth. He was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

At that moment, a group of eunuchs and guards ran in.

When the eldest prince saw the eunuch's appearance, his face changed and he quickly knelt there with his men.

After listening for a while, they realized that it was Chen Xiaozhuo's father who had committed a serious crime, and now these people came to arrest Chen Xiaozhuo and put him in the cold palace!

"this......"

The eldest prince looked at Chen Xiaozhuo in panic and confusion.

Generally speaking, even if a concubine makes a mistake, the princes and princesses will not be implicated. Why is it that this time, my father wants to send even Chen Xiaozhuo to the cold palace?

The eldest prince is already over thirteen years old and he already understands a lot of things.

Just as he saw Chen Xiaozhuo being carried away like a dazed pig, he looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's face again and his expression suddenly changed.

"Wow......!"

When seeing Chen Xiaozhuo being captured, before Chen Xiaozhuo even started crying, the Fourth Princess started crying first.

"Okay, shut up, this is an imperial decree!"

The eldest prince was also extremely nervous and panicked. There had been a lot of changes in the palace recently, and even his mother had told him that no matter what happened, the most important thing was to protect himself.

As the eldest prince said this, he ordered the princes and princesses from all the palaces to be sent away, and he also closed his own door.

"I don't know what will happen to Xiao Zhuo...!"

The eldest prince sat in the palace, his hands nervously gripping the handles of the chair. Thinking of Chen Xiaozhuo's silly look when he was taken away, he suddenly felt sad.

Xiao Zhuo is the only brother of the prince and has no right to fight for the throne. The little guy loves to eat and enjoy, but he is very good at acting coquettishly and cute, which wins the heart of the eldest prince.

Now thinking about him being caught in that cold palace...

The eldest prince no longer dared to think further and quietly asked someone to ask his mother what was going on.

By the time it was dark, everyone in the palace knew that the fifth prince's mother, Concubine Liu, had been banished to the cold palace because of her immoral conduct and her disobedience to the emperor. However, no one knew what exactly had happened to her.

"This matter is not your business. As for Xiao Zhuo, just forget about him." Someone around the queen passed the message.

"Forgot him?" The eldest prince sat there and thought about what he had heard since childhood that the cold palace was not a place for people to live.

If an adult doesn't come out after a year or two in prison, he will be forced to stay there.

A delicate and graceful boy like Chen Xiaozhuo will probably be gone soon.

The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more panicked he became, so he simply asked someone to light a candle and started writing, trying hard to forget what happened today.

On the other side, Chen Xiaozhuo had passed the trial. The prince's gorgeous clothes were replaced with a coarse cloth shirt.

"It's a pity to leave this little thing here."

The old woman pinched Chen Xiaozhuo viciously several times, and his tender face turned purple.

"This child is not crying? Is he scared silly?" The person next to him kicked Chen Xiaozhuo down with a wicked smile. Chen Xiaozhuo started crying when he fell to the ground.

"Well, he is still a prince after all. If Your Majesty softens his heart and takes him away in the future, you will suffer!"

Someone heard Chen Xiaozhuo crying so hard and couldn't help but say something.

"Brother guard, you don't understand. No matter how big a mistake a prince or princess makes, they will not be sent to the cold palace. Once they are thrown in, it means..." The nanny looked at Chen Xiaozhuo, her mouth trembling as if she had seen something extremely exciting.

"Take Chen Xiaozhuo to the cold palace."

The person who came to pick up Chen Xiaozhuo came over and grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo and walked towards the gloomy deep palace.

Chen Xiaozhuo has never been here.

He opened his eyes wide, watching in panic as the boundless darkness swallowed him up bit by bit.

When Chen Xiaozhuo began to twist his body and felt like he was going to pee his pants from fear, a large door was pushed open and he could see a single light on inside.

"Come in."

The person behind pushed Chen Xiaozhuo, and Chen Xiaozhuo fell to the ground, then got up and called out "father".

"Xiao Zhuo!"

Sure enough, the door opened and a man in a gray robe strode over.

"Father...!"

Chen Xiaozhuo, who had been holding it in for a whole day, burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, father is here." The gray-robed man said as he carried Chen Xiaozhuo in.

After entering the house, you can smell a run-down and smelly odor.

Chen Xiaozhuo was choked so hard that he couldn't even cry.

"Father, why do we have to go to the cold palace?" Chen Xiaozhuo's crisp voice rang out.

Chen Xiaozhuo's father paused and said, "Because His Majesty feels that I have made a mistake with you."

"What mistake have we made? Can we still get out?" Chen Xiaozhuo heard along the way that he and his father were probably going to die soon.

Five-year-old Chen Xiaozhuo felt that as long as his father was around, he had nothing to fear.

"You haven't done anything wrong, you can go out." Liu Shiwen said as he patted Chen Xiaozhuo on the shoulder. He looked around and began to tidy up the room.

Chen Xiaozhuo also followed, and when he got closer to the candlelight, he saw that there were several scratches on his father's beautiful face!

"Ahhhhhh!"

Chen Xiaozhuo knew that what his father loved most was his handsome face. Now it had become like this. Chen Xiaozhuo was so scared that he started crying again.

This time the crying was so tragic.

His father, Liu Shiwen, tried to coax him for a long time but to no avail. Finally, he could only lower his voice and say to Chen Xiaozhuo, "Don't cry, father is fine. Father is just playing a supporting role."

"What?" Chen Xiaozhuo didn't understand what his father Liu Shiwen was saying.

But he had almost cried enough, and long experience told him that his father didn't like him crying, and he would be beaten if he cried too much.

He cried a lot today, but his father was unusually gentle and did not beat or scold him.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's innocent eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Chen Xiaozhuo: "Father's face was damaged by himself in order to save our lives, understand? Don't be afraid, Father will heal your face in the future."

"Really?" Chen Xiaozhuo was very naive and believed whatever Liu Shiwen said.

"Of course, as long as you don't dislike your father becoming like this." Liu Shiwen said with a wry smile.

"No, my favorite is my father." Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the wound on his father's face and hurriedly coaxed him.

Seeing the tears on his face, Liu Shiwen came over to comfort him. His heart was so soft that he stroked the top of Chen Xiaozhuo's head and said, "Good son, Dad will take good care of you."

Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes lit up when he was praised.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly a big rat screamed.

Liu Shiwen was shocked and quickly covered Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes.

"Mouse?!" Chen Xiaozhuo was indeed not afraid. He had long wanted to have a furry pet, but unfortunately his father had always been unwilling.

"You're not afraid?!" Liu Shiwen scolded a few times, and the mouse ran away quickly.

"This is a lousy place."

Liu Shiwen cursed and then started to pack something.

Chen Xiaozhuo hurried over to help.

His father was unwilling to do anything in the past, but today he was very quick and efficient in making the bed.

"I don't know how old this thing is. Let's not use it for now." Chen Xiaozhuo's father threw the bedding down with disgust.

"Then how do we sleep at night?" Chen Xiaozhuo's favorite things are eating and sleeping in.

"Father has his own way." Liu Shiwen said mysteriously.

"Knock, knock."

At this time, the door was pushed open, and a tall one-eyed nun came in carrying two bowls of food.

"Here, eat it!"

After the nanny finished speaking, she put the bowl of rice over there.

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard that there was food, he walked over quickly. As soon as he approached, a sour smell came over.

"Eat! Do you think this is a good place? If you don't eat, you'll starve to death!" The one-eyed nanny said as she grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo and was about to press him towards the bowl of rice.

"stop!"

Chen Xiaozhuo's father ran over angrily and pushed the one-eyed nanny to the ground.

"You bitch, how dare you push me!" The one-eyed nanny cursed and came over to hit Liu Shiwen.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shiwen also started to take action.

Chen Xiaozhuo remembered that his father was usually delicate and fragile, but today she fought on equal terms with the nanny.

For Chen Xiaozhuo, this was much more exciting than watching his father draw his eyebrows and paint them red.

Chen Xiaozhuo clenched his fists excitedly and watched with his mouth open as his father knocked the nanny to the ground.

"Ouch... Somebody come, someone's killing someone!" The one-eyed nun began to scream, and the guards outside ran in and pulled Liu Shiwen away.

"You ugly woman, don't you see what you look like now? How dare you hit me!" When the nanny saw the guards coming, she immediately started cursing.

When the guard heard the sound, he took two steps back in fear.

Concubine Liu used to be very beautiful, but today, with her hair disheveled, her clothes torn, and the wounds on her face scratched a few times, she looked like an evil ghost!

"If you dare to touch my son, you will die!" Liu Shiwen cursed viciously like a devil.

The maid seemed to be shocked at once. When she opened her mouth to curse again, the guard pulled her away.

"Bah, you slutty concubine, just wait. Let's see what you will do if you can't get anything to eat! If you dare to provoke me, I will make sure you die miserably!" The one-eyed nanny cursed for a while and then left.

After his one-eyed nanny left, Chen Xiaozhuo ran to Liu Shiwen and looked at his father with heartache.

"It's okay, just apply some ointment and it will be fine." Liu Shiwen said as he tidied up his hair neatly. He looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said with a smile, "Close your eyes, and I will play a magic trick for you."

Chen Xiaozhuo had seen how heroic his father  were, and now he was so impressed that he closed his eyes obediently.

After a while, a sweet smell came over.

"It's delicious!"

Chen Xiaozhuo opened his eyes and found that his father was holding his favorite snack in his hand!

CHAPTER 2.There are lots of food in the space.

"Okay... woooo."

Just as Chen Xiaozhuo was about to scream, Liu Shiwen covered his mouth.

"Shh, don't let them hear it, or they will come and snatch your delicious food." Liu Shiwen said in a low voice.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded hurriedly and hushed.

Liu Shiwen pushed the snack towards Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo's little mouth moved, his eyes were full of envy.

He looked at Liu Shiwen, broke off half of it and handed it to Liu Shiwen.

The father and son could not speak and could only communicate with their eyes.

Liu Shiwen ate half of the dessert and kissed Chen Xiaozhuo again.

Chen Xiaozhuo immediately felt embarrassed.

The more he acted like this, the more Liu Shiwen came over to tease him.

Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't bear it anymore and begged for mercy and called his father. Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said, "My son is so handsome."

"Father is the prettiest one." Chen Xiaozhuo felt that he had said something wrong after he finished speaking, and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "Father, I didn't mean it..."

"It's okay. It's good for my son to have a good-looking face, but we can't rely solely on his face." After Liu Shiwen said this, he took Chen Xiaozhuo to the bed.

The two of them were squeezed together over there, and Chen Xiaozhuo's stomach was rumbling.

"Are you still hungry?" Liu Shiwen asked in a low voice.

Chen Xiaozhuo shook his head. Although he was only five years old, he was often taught by his father about the dangers of the palace. He knew that they were different now.

"Be good, get some sleep first. When it's midnight, your father will bring you something delicious." Liu Shiwen's eyes flickered.

Chen Xiaozhuo was a little excited when he heard this. He was held in his father's arms, listened to his father singing a song, and slowly fell asleep.

"Xiao Zhuo, Xiao Zhuo!"

It was midnight and Liu Shiwen took a lot of effort to wake Chen Xiaozhuo up.

"Father, I'm sleepy." Chen Xiaozhuo cried out sadly.

"You little lazy pig." Liu Shiwen didn't expect that his son would be so careless.

But with his little face and chubby hands, he is so adorable.

"Look where we are?" Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo vaguely saw himself being held by his father , and actually came to a bright place.

What catches the eye is a lovely little courtyard, surrounded by beautiful fields and fruit trees. The big fruits look delicious.

"I...am I dreaming?" Chen Xiaozhuo often dreamed of eating delicious food, and sometimes he would even drool.

Because of this, his father also disliked him very much.

But these are not the important things now. Chen Xiaozhuo broke free from the embrace, fell to the ground by himself, ran a few steps quickly and found that there was actually a small river here, and there were fat fish swimming in the river!

"Wow......!"

Although Chen Xiaozhuo had never seen what a farm looked like, he had at least learned some basic knowledge and read some books, so he knew a little about what these things were.

"Do you know them all?" Liu Shiwen walked over and asked with a smile.

"I know. This is wheat. Wheat can be turned into flour, and then made into steamed buns and meat dumplings to make many delicious things." After Chen Xiaozhuo finished speaking, he pointed at the fruit tree next to him and began to recognize them.

"Haha, it turns out that you are really good at eating." Liu Shiwen was laughing so hard at Chen Xiaozhuo's excited introduction.

Chen Xiaozhuo saw his father's laughing, and ran over embarrassedly and said, "It would be great if this wasn't a dream."

"Little fool, this is not a dream." Liu Shiwen said as he pinched Chen Xiaozhuo gently.

Chen Xiaozhuo felt itchy and started to laugh.

"It's really not a dream. Come here." Liu Shiwen said as he picked a peach from a tree nearby and gave it to Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the peach and swallowed a few times.

Liu Shiwen helped him peel the peach a little, so he could see the beautiful, crystal clear flesh inside, which smelled slightly sweet.

"Try it." Liu Shiwen handed over the peach with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo reached out, took the peach and took a bite. It was indeed as sweet as honey and juicy in the mouth.

"Delicious!" Chen Xiaozhuo greedily took another bite and said, "It's even more delicious than the one my father gave me!"

Liu Shiwen smiled and stroked his head, letting Chen Xiaozhuo start eating.

"I don't like my father!"

Chen Xiaozhuo took a few bites and suddenly thought that it was his father who had caused his father  to be like this, and he said angrily.

"If you don't like it, then don't like it. As long as you like father, that's enough." Liu Shiwen never let Chen Xiaozhuo say a bad word about His Majesty in the past, but today he was so free and easy that Chen Xiaozhuo was very surprised.

However, Chen Xiaozhuo did not take these too seriously. He was seizing the opportunity to finish the peach. Otherwise, what would he do if the one-eyed nun came in when he was halfway through eating it!

"Eat slowly. Only you and your father can come in here. No one will snatch the food from you." Liu Shiwen waited until Chen Xiaozhuo finished eating, then took him to wash his hands beside the small river.

"Can the fish here be eaten?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked curiously.

"It's edible...your father will make it for you when you come back." Liu Shiwen said as he pulled Chen Xiaozhuo along a small path.

There is a small bridge over the stream, and Chen Xiaozhuo jumped a few times on the bridge.

"Woof woof!"

A puppy ran over as if to greet them.

"Dog?!" Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the puppy with some fear and some fondness.

"Don't be afraid, this is our puppy." Liu Shiwen said as he took Chen Xiaozhuo's hand and touched the puppy.

The puppy happily circled around Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so excited and happy that he asked if he could raise it.

"This is the one we raised originally, you can give him a name." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo thought for a long time and awkwardly took out Xiaohei.

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Hei." Liu Shiwen touched the puppy's head, and the puppy whimpered. When Chen Xiaozhuo tried to call him Xiao Hei, the little black dog actually agreed and barked.

"Amazing!"

Chen Xiaozhuo happily hugged the little black dog and said that it was much better than the second prince's cat.

"Really?!" Liu Shiwen let Chen Xiaozhuo play with the little black dog for a while before taking Chen Xiaozhuo to continue walking forward.

"Hehe."

When you are almost at the yard, a road forks and extends over.

Over there is a row of small houses.

"It's time to feed the pigs." Liu Shiwen muttered to himself, then took Chen Xiaozhuo over there.

"Moo~"

Before he got there, he heard a strange cry, which scared Chen Xiaozhuo.

"That's the cry of a cow. Don't be afraid. Don't you like eating beef very much?!" Liu Shiwen laughed and took Chen Xiaozhuo to the cowshed first.

Chen Xiaozhuo had seen cows in pictures, but now when he saw two big cows and a calf standing there, his eyes widened and he didn't know what to say.

The cow looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and let out another cry, scaring Chen Xiaozhuo so much that he quickly hid behind Liu Shiwen.

But after a while Chen Xiaozhuo stretched his head to look at the cow again.

"It's okay, the cows have good tempers." Liu Shiwen pulled Chen Xiaozhuo over and encouraged him to push the grass next to him into the cow trough.

"It ate it! It ate it!" Chen Xiaozhuo said happily.

"Well, you can come and help feed the cows in the future." Liu Shiwen said and took Chen Xiaozhuo to see the sheep, chickens, and pigs.

"Lots of little pigs!"

Chen Xiaozhuo was so happy that he wanted to go in too.

"Don't come in, it's too smelly." Liu Shiwen said, and he put on straw sandals and went in. Then he pressed a few times and the smelly pigpen became clean.

Chen Xiaozhuo stared at his father with eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Father can perform magic tricks, but don't tell anyone else." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.

"I know! If people find out, my father will turn into a fairy and fly away!" Chen Xiaozhuo nodded immediately.

"My father is not a fairy." After Liu Shiwen finished cleaning up the pigpen, he took Chen Xiaozhuo to collect some eggs.

"Can I take it?!" Chen Xiaozhuo held an egg in his hand for the first time.

"Go slower, it will be bad if it falls on the ground." Liu Shiwen handed an egg to Chen Xiaozhuo, who was so careful that he almost couldn't walk.

"It's not that fragile. Try grabbing it." Liu Shiwen carefully taught Chen Xiaozhuo how to feel the egg.

There was a gleam of novelty in Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes.

"Let's go. I'll make you some scrambled eggs with tomatoes." Liu Shiwen said.

"Tomato? What's that?"

Chen Xiaozhuo asked.

Liu Shiwen was stunned for a moment and said that it was a kind of fruit that had not yet arrived in Chen State. It could be eaten raw or as a vegetable.

"It's delicious. I'll let you try it later." Liu Shiwen felt inexplicably flustered.

However, when Chen Xiaozhuo heard that there was delicious food to eat, he was very happy and didn't ask too many questions.

"This is our home."

Liu Shiwen said this and pushed open the gate.

There was a jujube tree planted in the small courtyard, and next to the tree was a well. There was a strange thing pressed on the well. According to his father, even Chen Xiaozhuo could draw water from it.

Although Chen Xiaozhuo was curious, he did not have much enthusiasm or curiosity about work.

"This is where Xiao Hei lives." Liu Shiwen pointed to the location of the doghouse, which was a nice shack.

Chen Xiaozhuo took a look and called Xiaohei in.

Xiao Hei went in obediently.

"This is the kitchen, and next to it is a warehouse where some food and daily necessities are stored." Liu Shiwen pushed open the door of the warehouse. The warehouse didn't look big from the outside, but after entering, you could see a huge granary. There were shelves next to the granary, and vegetables and fruits were placed on the shelves.

"This is a tomato." Liu Shiwen took out a beautiful red fruit.

Chen Xiaozhuo stretched out his hand and ordered a few, his eyes revealing his desire to eat.

"Wash them before eating." Liu Shiwen said as he put the eggs on another shelf.

A faint cool air drifted over from behind the shelf.

"That's an ice cellar, where some meat and other things are stored." Liu Shiwen said this but didn't let Chen Xiaozhuo go over to take a look.

Chen Xiaozhuo was dazed as if he had arrived in a colorful world.

He stood there, looking at it again and again, and said, "This place is even better than the palace! I love it so much."

CHAPTER 3. King Yikang

"Really?"

When Liu Shiwen saw the expression on Chen Xiaozhuo's face, an expression of relief also appeared on his face.

"Let's go and take a look at where we live." Liu Shiwen said as he took Chen Xiaozhuo's hand and walked out of the warehouse. The two of them went to the main house.

There weren't that many unusual things in the main house, just furniture and other things.

"It would be nice if I could sleep here."

But for Chen Xiaozhuo now, this simple place is as good as it can be.

"I was going to live here anyway." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.

"But......"

Chen Xiaozhuo still felt like he was dreaming.

"Take a look."

Liu Shiwen said this and pulled over a large mirror.

In the mirror, Chen Xiaozhuo clearly saw that he and his father were still living in the dark cold palace. His father hugged him pitifully, and the two of them were curled up together and sleeping.

"What is this...?" Chen Xiaozhuo was no longer able to think straight.

"Take another look."

Liu Shiwen tapped the mirror. The figures in the mirror that originally appeared to be Chen Xiaozhuo and his son had now turned into two puppets.

Chen Xiaozhuo was dumbfounded.

Seeing his pretty face like this, Liu Shiwen couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is a mannequin used by father  to dress us up. We eat and sleep here. When the people outside come, we will go out."

"Is this really not a dream?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked again.

"Of course it's not a dream, otherwise why would father insist on bringing you to live in the cold palace." Liu Shiwen said as he took Chen Xiaozhuo to the kitchen.

After Chen Xiaozhuo ate the rice and scrambled eggs with tomatoes made by Liu Shiwen, he was sure that he was not dreaming.

"That's great. Only my father and I know about this place. No one else can come." Chen Xiaozhuo started yawning after he was full.

Liu Shiwen took him to the bed and went to sleep.

Chen Xiaozhuo hid in the comfortable quilt and smiled at his father.

"Go to sleep, father will accompany you." Liu Shiwen patted Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so tired and sleepy that he fell asleep quickly.

When he had slept for who knows how long, suddenly a vibrating sound was heard.

Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly opened his eyes, sat up and called out "Father", but there was no sign of Liu Shiwen.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so scared that he ran out of the room crying.

"Xiao Zhuo?!"

After Chen Xiaozhuo went out, he saw his father standing under the flower tree in the yard. A golden, shining bead slowly fell from the tree.

"Father? Are you...are you an immortal?"

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at his father and found that although there were still scars on his face, everything in front of him looked like a god.

"Come here, Xiao Zhuo." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and waved.

Chen Xiaozhuo walked over slowly.

Liu Shiwen saw that he was still barefoot, so he smiled and picked him up.

"Hold it." Liu Shiwen handed the golden bead to Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the small beads and smelled them first. There was a faint sweet smell.

"Who is this, father?" Chen Xiaozhuo turned his head to look at the flower tree. It was actually emitting a faint light at night. It was very magical and beautiful.

"The elixir will allow you to perform magic tricks if you take it. But what kind of magic tricks you will perform, father doesn't know." After saying this, Liu Shiwen looked at the flower tree.

The flower tree shook for a while, then slowly began to wither, and finally turned into a pile of dead leaves and disappeared.

"Gone?!"

When Chen Xiaozhuo looked again, he found that the jujube tree he saw today was still next to the flower tree.

"Yes, you are very lucky to have encountered it at the right time." Liu Shiwen smiled and let Chen Xiaozhuo eat the elixir.

After Chen Xiaozhuo ate it, he felt sweet, his stomach became warm, and his whole body felt comfortable.

"Get rid of diseases and disasters, and live in peace and happiness." After Liu Shiwen said this, he carried Chen Xiaozhuo back into the house.

Chen Xiaozhuo quickly fell asleep again.

After he heard the insults from outside, he smelled a bad smell.

Chen Xiaozhuo opened his eyes and found that he was still in the cold palace.

His father looked outside and saw the door was pushed open.

"Liu, the Imperial Concubine wants to see you!"

The one-eyed nanny looked at Liu Shiwen viciously.

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard that it was the imperial concubine, he came down in fear and followed Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen grabbed Chen Xiaozhuo's hand, looked at the maid and said, "I am a criminal now, so it is inconvenient for me to see anyone. Madam, please help me go back."

"How dare you! The imperial concubine wants to see you and you still put on airs!" The one-eyed nanny started scolding immediately.

"Mammy, I was banished to the cold palace by His Majesty's order. No one is allowed to see me without His Majesty's order. Are you going to disobey his order?!" Liu Shiwen said coldly.

When Chen Xiaozhuo saw that the nanny was obviously scared, he felt that his father was very powerful.

"Whatever! If you anger the Imperial Concubine, you will suffer the consequences!" The one-eyed nanny said this and slammed the door and left.

After she left, Chen Xiaozhuo asked Liu Shiwen which imperial concubine had come.

"She is your second brother's mother, Concubine Wang. You don't have to care about these. We just need to live our own lives." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, he took Chen Xiaozhuo and closed the door.

After closing the door, Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said, "We've eaten and slept, so how about we do some work today?"

Chen Xiaozhuo thought of last night, nodded with a smile, and followed Liu Shiwen to clean up the cold palace.

The cold palace is not big, with three airy rooms and a toilet at the back.

Liu Shiwen found a worn-out broom and started sweeping.

Chen Xiaozhuo followed behind and did some simple things.

"Squeak."

Suddenly the door was pushed open.

Chen Xiaozhuo turned around and saw a man in eunuch's clothes standing at the door.

"ah......"

Chen Xiaozhuo was startled. Liu Shiwen quickly covered his mouth and looked at the eunuch vigilantly.

"Master Liu has suffered a lot. Our master asked me to bring you a message. Please bear with it for a while. When he succeeds in his mission, he will make amends to you and your son."

The eunuch's voice was low but clear.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at his father-consort in confusion. His father-consort was obviously frightened.

"No... no need for that. Go back and tell your master that my father and I have nothing to do with him. Tell him not to pay attention to us." Liu Shiwen said quickly.

"Master Liu, are you still blaming our master when you say this? He was ill and doesn't remember clearly what happened back then, but now that it has been passed on that the young master might be his bloodline, how can our master just sit there and do nothing?"

As the eunuch spoke, he looked at Chen Xiaozhuo eagerly.

When he looked at it, Chen Xiaozhuo's eyes suddenly blurred, and then Chen Xiaozhuo saw that there were several lines of small words next to the eunuch.

There were a few small characters that he didn't recognize very well, and as if cooperating with him, a voice gently told him that the eunuch's name was Sui Fu, and that on the surface he was Concubine Wang's man, but secretly he was a subordinate of King Yikang!

"Uncle King Yikang?" Chen Xiaozhuo was a little scared when he heard the name. He had heard more than once that King Yikang was a murderer and that he was mentally ill.

He looked at the eunuch with some fear in his heart.

The eunuch looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's face and said, "Look carefully, the young master is indeed more like the master."

"Enough! Xiao Zhuo is not his flesh and blood, stop making random accusations!" Liu Shiwen nervously stood in front of Chen Xiaozhuo.

But Chen Xiaozhuo could feel his father's fingers trembling.

He only behaved like this when he made a mistake or lied. He looked at his father in confusion.

"Whether it is true or not, the master will judge for himself. What I want to say today is that you should be safe here. After these days, we will arrange for someone to take care of you and the young master. Life will not be too difficult. I hope you take good care of yourself and the young master."

After the eunuch said this, a strange noise was heard outside.

"Okay, I'll take my leave now. I wonder if Young Master Liu has anything else to say to our master?" the eunuch looked at Liu Shiwen and asked.

Chen Xiaozhuo also looked at his father

His father looked a little strange, as if he saw spicy food and wanted to eat it but was afraid of the spiciness.

"Since Young Master Liu has nothing to say, I will go back." The eunuch said and turned to leave.

"Let me tell your master that his great cause will never succeed. His affairs have long been known to others!" Liu Shiwen said quickly.

After the eunuch heard this, her eyes changed noticeably.

He looked at Liu Shiwen angrily and said, "Master Liu, there is no need to be so contemptuous and curse our master!"

"I'm not looking down on you, it's destiny and it's not his. You should go quickly and don't implicate us father and son!" Liu Shiwen waved his hands irritably.

The eunuch looked at Liu Shiwen again, snorted, and then walked away.

After the eunuch left, a voice of cursing was heard from afar, followed by a scream.

Chen Xiaozhuo recognized it as the scream of the one-eyed nun.

He had heard this kind of sound before, and it was very scary.

He hurried to his father's side.

Liu Shiwen patted Chen Xiaozhuo on the shoulder and said, "Don't ever tell anyone else what happened today, understand?!"

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded seriously.

"Good boy." Liu Shiwen patted Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked up at his father', and suddenly the line of small characters appeared again, but there were still several words that he couldn't understand.

That gentle voice appeared again: "Liu Shiwen, male concubine in the cold palace, the thing I love most is my son Chen Xiaozhuo, favorability, five peaches~"

After hearing this, Chen Xiaozhuo couldn't help but ask, "Does father like Xiaozhuo the most?"

Liu Shiwen was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chen Xiaozhuo, nodded, and said, "Of course."

Chen Xiaozhuo jumped twice with joy.

"Chirp~"

Suddenly a little sparrow flew out from Chen Xiaozhuo's body, flew around Liu Shiwen, and finally landed on his shoulder.

Chen Xiaozhuo was stunned for a moment. He found himself strangely turned into a bird, but he was still standing there.

"What's wrong, Xiaozhuo?" Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo in surprise and asked, "Did you conjure this up?"

Chen Xiaozhuo was dumbfounded by Liu Shiwen's question. He moved his head, and the little sparrow also moved its head with him.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

CHAPTER 4. The fate of the supporting characters

This was the first time that Chen Xiaozhuo discovered that he actually had such a skill.

He shook his head back and forth, and the little sparrow soon became dizzy and was about to fall down.

"Silly child, don't you feel dizzy? Try letting it fly to your father's left hand." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded. He looked at his father's palm and silently said to himself, "Fly over, fly over."

The little sparrow fluttered over and landed steadily on Liu Shiwen's palm.

"Yes, apart from this, how is Xiao Zhuo different from yesterday?" Liu Shiwen touched the little sparrow and found that the little sparrow looked just like a real one.

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard Liu Shiwen ask this, he told him about the line of small words, the sound, and the peach.

"Five peaches?" Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo in confusion. When he heard Chen Xiaozhuo talking about favorability, he knew that these five peaches were probably the so-called maximum favorability.

"That's good. In the future, if you meet a peach or someone lower than a peach, you must be careful and don't believe anything good he says." Liu Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, Chen Xiaozhuo also had a simple way to distinguish between good and bad people.

When he heard Chen Xiaozhuo say that Sui Fu was King Yikang's man, he was not surprised, because he also knew clearly that Concubine Wang was King Yikang's man.

"Concubine Wang will live a long time. After all, she is also a tough villain in the book." Liu Shiwen muttered and looked at Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo is the child of King Yikang. This is an important event that the protagonist Shu Feiyuan uses to nail himself down later.

Chen Xiaozhuo also accidentally fell into the water and died because of that incident.

The novel was vague in its description, saying that it was done accidentally by a palace maid, but everyone who read the book agreed that it was the emperor who did it.

How could an emperor tolerate such humiliation?

This time, Liu Shiwen deliberately revealed some flaws and disfigured himself to prove Chen Xiaozhuo's innocence before Shu Guiren took action.

But since the truth has been revealed, the emperor will naturally no longer like Chen Xiaozhuo. Chen Xiaozhuo is originally a worthless guy, so just throw him to Liu Shiwen to raise him.

In the early part of the plot, the emperor still had a lot of love for Liu Shiwen.

This is what Liu knew about gambling, so he took a risk and tried it, and it worked.

"Father will definitely protect you." Liu Shiwen knew that if he moved forward with the plot this time, it would definitely arouse some people's suspicion.

But as long as his end is tragic enough, those people will naturally judge that he is not capable of making a comeback after watching him for a while, especially in the palace fight, having a disfigured face is the most impossible thing to fight back.

"I know, father." Chen Xiaozhuo nodded obediently.

Liu Shiwen looked at his fair and cute little face and felt more and more that he looked like the crazy and sickly beautiful King Yikang described in the book.

King Yikang is a big villain, but he is liked and popular by many people. After all, he is the epitome of beauty, strength and tragedy.

He is also one of the rare villains who does not have a favorable impression on the protagonist.

Unfortunately, his setting destined him to not only fail, but also fail miserably.

"Did he set himself on fire and kill himself?" Liu Shiwen thought about it and realized that King Yikang only found out before he died that he had a child with Concubine Liu.

But the child had fallen into the water and died.

This was a fatal blow to King Yikang, who longed for family and children the most.

King Yikang completely collapsed. Concubine Liu's bad deeds were exposed. She wanted to use the child's status to let King Yikang take her away, and the emperor agreed.

However, King Yikang did not even look at Concubine Liu, he went home and set himself on fire.

Everyone argued endlessly about whether King Yikang had ever loved Concubine Liu. Everyone thought that given King Yikang's madness and cold-bloodedness, his time with Concubine Liu was just a mistake.

He wanted more to insult the emperor and didn't even think about the children.

As for why King Yikang would get together with Concubine Liu, it was because King Yikang had once visited Concubine Liu's house in his early years and Concubine Liu fell in love with him at first sight, but she just suppressed this love deep in her heart.

Later, she entered the palace to fight for power, but her life was not going well. By chance, she met King Yikang again, and they got together due to an outburst of anger.

Until the end, King Yikang didn't even look at Yoo Bin for a second, which was the retribution for Yoo Bin being the most arrogant and despicable villain in the novel.

Concubine Liu went crazy and disfigured herself before she died.

Since Liu Shiwen had traveled into the book, everything about him was still new, so he naturally didn't want to go through the same path as Concubine Liu again.

But he did try it a little bit, and the direction of events in the book regarding the protagonist is certain.

In other words, the protagonist's interests cannot be changed at all.

But he can change himself by destroying his own interests.

That's why Liu Shiwen chose to avoid war and retreat to the cold palace to save his life.

"It's a pity that the palace fighting had already begun when I traveled into the book, so it's not easy to escape." Liu Shiwen muttered to himself.

Chen Xiaozhuo was controlling the little sparrow to fly around.

"Are you tired?" Liu Shiwen asked.

Only then did Chen Xiaozhuo realize that he felt dizzy and a little tired after playing for a while.

"Try to make the little sparrow disappear." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the little sparrow and said, "Go home," and the little sparrow slowly disappeared.

"That's right. If you encounter danger, remember to make it disappear as soon as possible. Be careful not to let anyone see it when it disappears." Liu Shiwen said seriously.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, and then his stomach started to growl.

"Father, I'm hungry."

Chen Xiaozhuo said.

"After they deliver the meal, we'll go over there to eat something delicious." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside.

After waiting for the door to open, Liu Shiwen discovered that it was not the one-eyed nun from before.

After asking, I found out that the one-eyed nun broke her leg because she was not walking carefully, and now someone else has been replaced.

When Liu Shiwen thought about what the eunuch said yesterday, he wondered if this was arranged by King Yikang?

"No, even King Yikang can't establish connections here so quickly." Liu Shiwen thought quickly and looked at Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo was also smart. He looked at the person who delivered the food and found that all five peaches were black.

Just then his father looked over and Chen Xiaozhuo shook his head.

Liu Shiwen smiled and nodded, saying, "Why does the food look so good today?"

"After all, Your Majesty is taking care of the child. There is no need to mistreat her like this." The nanny spoke gently and kindly, making people feel very fond of her.

"Okay, leave it here and we'll eat it later." Liu Shiwen said.

The nanny smiled and looked at Lenggong, who actually started chatting with Liu Shiwen. Her words were full of lamentations for Liu Shiwen's fate.

He even told Liu Shiwen in a roundabout way that the Liu family was busy using their connections to plead for him.

Liu Shiwen was stunned. The Liu family also had the reputation of being villains.

"What is there to beg for? This is all His Majesty's will. I made a mistake." Liu Shiwen said indifferently.

"Your Highness has become more open-minded now." The nanny saw that Liu Shiwen could not be provoked and smiled as she scooped a spoonful of food from the bowl, stretched it out to Chen Xiaozhuo and said, "Brother, you must be hungry here too. Come, nanny will feed you."

Chen Xiaozhuo saw that the food was actually his favorite.

He pursed his lips and looked at Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen reached out to take the spoon and said, "The child is frightened and refuses to eat what others feed him. I have to do it."

"Of course, you should be closer to him." The nanny laughed. She didn't expect that Liu Shiwen would feed Chen Xiaozhuo herself.

Liu Shiwen picked up the bowl with a smile, but as soon as he grabbed it, he cried out "ouch" and said that his hand was numb, and he directly dropped the basket of food.

"This...what should I do?" Liu Shiwen cried out and looked at the nanny.

The maid glanced at Liu Shiwen, sneered and said, "Since the queen doesn't believe me, I will go and tell His Majesty that the queen thinks His Majesty wants to harm her."

"Which palace are you from? How come you can even see His Majesty?" Liu Shiwen smiled sarcastically.

When the nanny realized that she couldn't trick Liu Shiwen, she cupped her hands and said, "Your Highness is so arrogant, but I don't know how long this arrogance can last."

"I'm afraid it will be longer than your life." Liu Shiwen replied, "Go back and tell your master to leave a way out for others. I am still in this situation now, so there is no need to kill him. It's better to accumulate some good karma for yourself."

"Your Majesty has recognized it clearly. If she had such a brain when she was better, she wouldn't have ended up like this." The nanny looked at Liu Shiwen's scarred face and became more and more proud.

"Get out!" Liu Shiwen said nothing more.

The maid snorted coldly, then left with her people.

After the maid left, Liu Shiwen opened the door. He asked Chen Xiaozhuo to conjure up a sparrow and follow the maid to see where she went.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so nervous about the important task that he took a while to conjure up a sparrow. After the sparrow flew around once and flew out, Chen Xiaozhuo reluctantly followed the grandma.

"I don't know the way she goes." Chen Xiaozhuo was about to cry. His little sparrow couldn't fly too far.

"It's okay. Tell father what the place she went to looks like." Only then did Liu Shiwen realize that Chen Xiaozhuo's sparrow also had a distance limit.

Chen Xiaozhuo thought about it and started talking to Liu Shiwen.

"That direction is where the middle and low-level palace concubines are. We don't know who did it. They hate us father and son so much, and their methods are so simple and direct." Liu Shiwen thought about it. Anyway, he had already spoken.

Seeing them being so pitiful and resigned to their defeat, I think they, father and son, should be able to live with peace of mind.

"Squeak."

The door of the cold palace opened again, and this time the real person who delivered the meal came.

It was better than the one-eyed nun's, but still rotten. She put the meal down and left without saying anything.

Liu Shiwen waved his hand and took Chen Xiaozhuo and the food into the space.

"Dad, go pour some of the food for the pigs." After Liu Shiwen said this, he let Chen Xiaozhuo play happily in the space by himself.

After finishing the work, Liu Shiwen called Chen Xiaozhuo over and heated a cup of milk for him.

CHAPTER 5. The Usefulness of Favorability

"It's delicious!"

Chen Xiaozhuo also drank goat milk and other things in the palace, but the one here tastes better and doesn't have any strange taste.

"If it tastes good, drink more. It's good for your health."

Liu Shiwen also drank some, and then went to make fried eggs for Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo's little mouth was shining from eating.

"Are you full?" Liu Shiwen asked.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded and shook his head.

"What else do you want to eat? After eating, we have to work." Liu Shiwen said.

"Work? What to do?" What Chen Xiaozhuo feared most was working, such as writing.

Liu Shiwen made him some pancakes and then took him to the fields on the other side.

When I came here yesterday, I saw lots of wheat, but today it's all gone.

"It has been put away." Liu Shiwen said with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't have much idea about the harvest, he just did what his father said.

"Moo!"

Liu Shiwen led the cow over and took a wooden plow from behind.

Chen Xiaozhuo watched Liu Shiwen put the plow in place, then he snapped his fingers and the ox pulled the plow and started turning the soil.

The fertile land rolled up. Liu Shiwen watched for a while, then asked Chen Xiaozhuo to stand here and watch, and call him when the cows stopped.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded.

Liu Shiwen brought him a small stool to sit on and gave him a handful of dried fruits.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so happy when he saw it, although he didn't like to work, he was taught to do it well, so his back was straight.

Wait until the cow stops moving and then go call Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen was diverting water to a rice field nearby. This was a newly opened rice field and there were many things to do at the beginning.

When Liu Shi heard Chen Xiaozhuo's crisp voice, he responded.

No matter what, now that he has Chen Xiaozhuo, he no longer feels lonely and his heart is filled with energy.

Liu Shiwen strode over, pushed a small cart with fodder for the cows to eat.

After the cows finish eating, they will continue to plow the fields.

A cow can plow the wheat field in almost a day.

Liu Shiwen also finished irrigating the new rice fields.

He watched the rice seedlings begin to grow and called Chen Xiaozhuo to come out of the space.

When Chen Xiaozhuo came out, he was told not to take anything out of here, because if someone saw it, he would have no way to explain it.

Chen Xiaozhuo reluctantly took out the dried fruits from his pocket.

Seeing his expression, Liu Shiwen smiled and promised him to have meat for lunch. Only then did Chen Xiaozhuo smile happily.

By the time the two came out of the space, it was already noon.

Chen Xiaozhuo scratched himself unconsciously.

Liu Shiwen raised his eyebrows, thinking that it was time to give Chen Xiaozhuo a bath.

"We have to build a hot spring." Liu Shiwen thought to himself, and he asked Chen Xiaozhuo to get out of the bed, and the two of them pushed open the door of the cold palace.

The cold palace is a small enclosed courtyard with an old well inside, and the water can still be used.

Liu Shiwen knew that although he had the space to rely on, he couldn't be too reckless. It would seem strange if he didn't use the water.

"Come, let dad get you some water." After saying this, Liu Shiwen began to fetch water with great effort.

But the well had not been used for many years and everything in it was old. Liu Shiwen's body had not yet been properly restored, so how could he draw water?

The guards outside heard the noise and looked inside.

Liu Shiwen pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and started to pump water again with all his strength.

He will train his body well, so he also needs to give these guards a picture of gradual growth, so that it won't be so strange when his strength improves in the future.

"Father, please take a rest." Chen Xiaozhuo said considerately when he saw that Liu Shiwen's arms were shaking.

Liu Shiwen staggered in with the bucket of water and closed the door.

He took some warm water from the space and helped Chen Xiaozhuo wash his face.

"Scream twice." Liu Shiwen said and asked Chen Xiaozhuo to pretend to scream twice in pain.

Chen Xiaozhuo cooperated and started shouting.

"I didn't expect you were a little actor." Liu Shiwen laughed and washed Chen Xiaozhuo's hands and face. Although Chen Xiaozhuo was only five years old, he already had the handsome features of a little boy.

"I don't know what he will look like in the future." Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and couldn't help but think of what King Yikang looked like.

"Well, come to think of it, I also spent money to vote for his character back then." Liu Shiwen thought, and now he has become Liu Bin, feeling very sad.

"Father?" Chen Xiaozhuo called out when he saw what his father was thinking about.

"Oh, let's use the remaining water to clean the cold palace." Liu Shiwen said as he stood up and walked to the door of the cold palace and knocked.

The guard frowned and looked at Liu Shiwen.

"I hid some silver at the corner of Fangfei Palace to give us something we can use. I'll tell you where it is." Liu Shiwen said in a low voice, hugging his arms.

The guard looked at Liu Shiwen warily.

Liu Shiwen smiled confidently.

"What do you want? We can't get the good stuff!" the guard said quickly in a low voice.

Liu Shiwen asked for a clean quilt but was refused, so he could only ask for a broom or something.

"Only five taels!"

When it was dark, the guard came back from his shift and said with a deceived look on his face.

"Brother, how much silver do you get for a month as an official? Do you think five taels is too little?" Liu Shiwen rolled his eyes and went into the cold palace.

But after he did this, the guards outside knew that Concubine Liu must have hidden goodies somewhere else, so they treated him better.

Liu Shiwen spent half a month to get a clean bedding, two pairs of nice shoes, and a few candles, and the guard had to light the fire himself.

But the amount of silver spent was as much as thirty taels.

Moreover, the guards asked for more and more, and when Liu Shiwen heard that there were no more quilts, they actually came over and snatched those quilts.

Chen Xiaozhuo was frightened and screamed, and quickly said no.

When the guard heard Chen Xiaozhuo's voice, he hesitated for a moment.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo in surprise.

"Uncle, could you please not take these things away? These are all we have left." Chen Xiaozhuo said, looking at the guard with pitiful eyes.

"never mind!"

One of the guards said something, and the remaining one also threw the thing down and turned away.

Liu Shiwen didn't think that these guards would really give up their desire to squeeze money from him just for the sake of Chen Xiaozhuo, a kid.

"It should be Xiao Zhuo's ability to like Taozi, right?!" Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo after he finished speaking.

As Chen Xiaozhuo had said, every time the guards accepted money from Liu Shiwen, their favorable impression of Chen Xiaozhuo would increase a little.

Now the two guards' favorability towards Chen Xiaozhuo has reached more than three peaches.

"Could it be that the more peaches you get, the more willing you are to agree to your requests?" Liu Shiwen thought for a moment and said, "But why did the favorability increase?"

After being questioned by Liu Shiwen for a long time, Chen Xiaozhuo finally understood that the two guards liked silver, so every time Liu Shiwen gave them silver, the guards' favorability towards Chen Xiaozhuo would increase.

"I see. Is this what they call "appealing to someone's preferences"? " Liu Shiwen nodded and said, "In this case, we can use their favorability to let us live more freely."

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't know what Liu Shiwen was talking about, but he still followed Liu Shiwen's instructions and told the two guards that there was some silver hidden somewhere, but he wanted a ball that a child could play with.

The two guards didn't bargain much and waited until dark before getting a ball for children to play with for Chen Xiaozhuo.

Of course they also got the silver.

Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to take a look, and Chen Xiaozhuo found that the two guards' favorability towards him had increased to four.

"Ask them if any major events have happened in the palace recently?" Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo went over and asked, holding the ball.

The guards only thought that Chen Xiaozhuo was really adorable, especially when he was holding the ball, and his voice became much gentler when he spoke.

After listening for a while, Chen Xiaozhuo ran over and told Liu Shiwen that recently Concubine Shu had learned the golden needle method from somewhere and helped the empress dowager cure her headache. His Majesty said that she was virtuous and filial, and made her Shupin.

"Has she already reached the position of concubine?!" Liu Shiwen sat there and thought about it. He remembered that the palace fighting became really lively when this protagonist Shu was promoted to the position of concubine.

"Good boy, we have to be quiet recently." Liu Shiwen said as he hugged Chen Xiaozhuo over.

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't know what had happened exactly, but he could be with his father . His father didn't just think about asking him to compete for favor every day. Instead, they made delicious food for him, and Niu Niu and Xiao Hei played with him. He was very happy.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded.

After waiting for it to get completely dark outside, Liu Shiwen made the bed and took Chen Xiaozhuo into the space pretending to sleep.

Just at this moment, a breeze blew gently.

"Is this the place?"

There was a sound of someone talking.

Liu Shiwen was startled and hurriedly hid Chen Xiaozhuo behind him.

He saw the door slowly opening, and three eunuchs stood outside the door. The one in the middle looked up at him and smiled.

That ghostly smile scared Liu Shiwen so much that he almost screamed.

Chen Xiaozhuo called out "Father" in a low, fearful voice.

The man heard Chen Xiaozhuo's voice and his expression changed. He walked in slowly and said to Liu Shiwen, "Where is my son? Let me see him."

"Yi...King Yikang!"

Liu Shiwen looked at the other person in shock. Although the other person was wearing eunuch's clothes, Liu Shiwen recognized him quickly.

This is the man he once spent money to vote for!

This crazy villain is really handsome!

"No...no...now is not the time to think about these things. You can yell whatever you want while reading, but this guy is a dangerous person now!"

Liu Shiwen tried desperately to regain his sanity.

But King Yikang, who was dressed in eunuch's clothes, came closer.

Some intricate patterns were visible from under the unbuttoned eunuch's uniform, and when he looked up, he could see the crazy and handsome face of King Yikang.

"You are so ugly...!" King Yikang said to Liu Shiwen.

CHAPTER 6.Crazy Prince

"You are ugly!"

Before Liu Shiwen could say anything, Chen Xiaozhuo behind him had already called out.

As soon as Chen Xiaozhuo spoke, King Yikang reached out and grabbed him.

"no!"

Liu Shiwen knew that King Yikang was not normal, so how could he let him catch Chen Xiaozhuo, so he quickly reached out to pull him.

King Yikang's actions were swift, but Chen Xiaozhuo and his son put up a desperate resistance.

Especially Liu Shiwen, as a big fan of King Yikang, how could he not know how crazy and scary this guy is underneath his evil and handsome appearance.

Who knows what would happen if Chen Xiaozhuo was caught by him.

"Let go!"

King Yikang came to see him in the middle of the night because he couldn't sleep and suddenly heard that he had a son.

But I didn't expect that Liu Bin would not let go even after ruining her own face.

"no!"

Liu Shiwen hated himself for not having refined the Power Pill yet, so he could only grit his teeth and rush forward.

"Father!"

Chen Xiaozhuo was thrown aside by King Yikang, and the eunuch behind him hurriedly hugged him.

"You dare!"

Liu Shiwen shouted angrily and rushed towards King Yikang like a madman.

"You lunatic...let go...cough cough cough!"

King Yikang's eunuch robe was not very tight to begin with, and now it was torn apart in an instant.

He was so angry that he thought about killing Concubine Liu, but he suddenly fell ill and started coughing.

"master......"

The two eunuchs behind saw this and hurriedly took the medicine from their arms, but they saw that Concubine Liu was trying her best to suppress her master.

Liu Shiwen was covered in sweat. He was breathing heavily, his fingers were shaking, but he held down King Yikang tightly.

King Yikang's face was as white as snow, and now his cheeks were slightly red as he was having an attack, and his eyes were as deep as inkstone.

He pushed Concubine Liu away angrily, and when he stood up, he pulled his robe completely together.

Liu Shiwen suddenly heard someone praise King Yikang for being as handsome as a piece of snow.

But it was not that kind of weak snow, but rather the cold snow on the northern border.

"This King Yikang is worthy of being the top master in the novel. Even his body shape is different..." Liu Shiwen watched as King Yikang took two steps and then lay there, pressing his neck as if he was about to die in pain.

"master."

The eunuch Sui Fu hurriedly handed the medicine to King Yikang.

King Yikang took the medicine with trembling fingers and swallowed it.

"Take less of that medicine, otherwise your illness will get worse." Liu Shiwen couldn't help but say.

King Yikang turned around upon hearing the voice, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Liu Shiwen immediately shut up, stood up, hugged Chen Xiaozhuo, and said, "I will take care of the child, so you don't have to worry about him."

"Father, I'm so scared...!"

Chen Xiaozhuo screamed in fear, but saw that the scary man's favorability towards him was constantly increasing, rising to five peaches and then quickly dropping to one.

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't know why this person was like this, but his father told him that he must be careful of people who only had a small impression of him.

Chen Xiaozhuo hurriedly hid himself in Liu Shiwen's arms.

A little blood flowed from the corner of King Yikang's mouth, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I am your father, what are you afraid of, little thing!"

"This is not certain yet. King Yikang does not have to force his admission." Liu Shiwen said hurriedly.

Upon hearing the voice, King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen, wiped the corner of his mouth with a little domineering and said: "Whether it is my child or not, I can tell at a glance, you don't need to say these things."

"The child is mine, so if I don't know, who would know? Don't be so confident!" Liu Shiwen was also annoyed.

King Yikang paused. He had never touched anyone until now, and the only time he did this was when Concubine Liu was having an attack of illness.

Now that Concubine Liu had spoken, King Yikang was also a little confused.

"Why not use blood test to identify the relative..." the eunuch Sui Fu behind said in a low voice.

"Whether the blood test to determine kinship is accurate or not, I think King Yikang knows best." Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang with a sneer.

King Yikang was almost killed because of the blood test and was unable to return to his ancestral home.

"Shut up!"

King Yikang looked at Concubine Liu and felt that she seemed to be much smarter and more brutal than before. She was quite interesting.

He sat up with difficulty. Every time he had an attack and took medicine, his limbs would gradually lose strength.

"You followed Fu before and asked me to give up my great cause, saying that the destiny was not with me..." The more King Yikang spoke, the colder his eyes became.

He had struggled to live for so many years just to regain the hegemony of Huangtu that belonged to their Cui family, but this Concubine Liu was so bold that she dared to speak like this!

"That was just what I said casually. I was also thinking that your health is in such a bad condition, so if you take good care of yourself, you can live a few more years." Liu Shiwen naturally knew how sad King Yikang's experience was, and he also knew that he could hold on until now only because of his last breath.

How could King Yikang believe me if I said so?

"I have lived in shame for too long. I wish I could die tomorrow. But before I die, I have to take someone with me..."

"Your Highness, there are children here, don't say such things." Liu Shi heard that King Yikang was getting crazier and crazier, so he hurriedly stopped him.

This is not good for children's education.

King Yikang was interrupted again. He was stunned for a long time, and finally saw Chen Xiaozhuo's chubby little body twisting.

He suddenly grinned, looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "You are amazing. I grew up immersed in the poison, and was told by various doctors that it was impossible for me to have children. But I never thought you could get pregnant."

"I've already said it..."

"Enough, if I say he is him, then he is it." King Yikang's voice sounded cold. He looked handsome and majestic, and really had the posture of a great villain in the world.

Liu Shiwen looked at him again and confirmed that this was the real King Yikang Cui Zhesui, and he couldn't help but scream in his heart.

"Give him this."

King Yikang reached into his arms to look for something, but he found that his clothes were torn and he didn't know where the thing had fallen.

"Is your Highness looking for this?" Liu Shiwen awkwardly picked up a jade pendant from the messy bed.

King Yikang was so angry that he tried to grab it, but unfortunately he didn't have enough strength and fell towards Liu Shiwen.

"don't want."

Chen Xiaozhuo was so scared that he quickly reached out to push.

When King Yikang saw Chen Xiaozhuo's little face, a strange emotion emerged in his whole body.

"Little bastard...!"

With a thud, Prince Yikang was pushed to the other side by Concubine Liu and her son, and his face hit the bed.

"master......!"

Sui Fu hurried over to help King Yikang up and said, "Master, we have to go."

King Yikang's strength was getting weaker and weaker. He nodded, looked at Liu Shiwen and said, "Ugly freak, take good care of my son."

"Your Highness, not coming here is the best way to take care of us father and son. If someone sees us..."

Just as Liu Shiwen was about to speak, an anxious voice of Ding Ding Ding came from outside.

"Your Majesty, we have to go."

After Sui Fu finished speaking, he followed the eunuchs behind him and carried King Yikang away.

After King Yikang and others left, the palace became noisy.

"You won't be unable to escape, right? If we get caught, won't it be the end early?" Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to turn into a sparrow and fly out, then land on the wall and listen for a while.

Chen Xiaozhuo only heard that they were catching a thief, but he didn't know whether they were caught or not.

"Forget it, never mind. Even if he is caught, it has nothing to do with us." Liu Shiwen knew that King Yikang could become the most powerful villain, so this little movement would not be a problem for him.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded and prepared to follow his father  into the space to sleep.

"Father, is that man really my biological father?" Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly asked as he was walking.

Liu Shiwen's feet softened, and he cursed King Yikang for being crazy. Then he smiled and shook his head and said, "He is a lunatic. You don't have to listen to his nonsense."

"Oh, he is really scary." Chen Xiaozhuo said.

"He wasn't like that originally." Liu Shiwen thought that it would not be good for Chen Xiaozhuo to have this impression, but he wanted to say something to help King Yikang, but he felt that it was too subjective.

It's up to these father and son to develop on their own.

Liu Shiwen changed the subject and said, "Is it cool that my father fought today?"

"Cool, even that crazy prince was beaten." Chen Xiaozhuo nodded.

"It's not that he's been vaccinated, he's just sick." Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo to another small room in the yard.

As soon as he entered, Chen Xiaozhuo smelled a scent of medicine.

He frowned and didn't want to go in.

"This is father's treasure house. Many useful medicines can be made here. However, they can only be made here. Don't eat anything outside, understand?!" Liu Shiwen warned.

What Chen Xiaozhuo hates most is taking medicine. How could he take other people's medicine? He nodded quickly.

At this time, Liu Shiwen walked to a small alchemy furnace, took out several things from the side and added them in. Smoke was sizzling inside.

"Is it going to fail again? I can't even make the most basic Great Strength Pill?!" Although Liu Shiwen knew that the success rate of the pill was extremely low, he had been trying to make the Great Strength Pill for a long time and still hadn't succeeded.

If he had had this much time, he would have exercised and increased his physical strength a long time ago.

"It turns out that we can't rely too much on this space." Just as Liu Shi finished speaking, the alchemy furnace made a bang.

"Done?!" Liu Shiwen happily opened the alchemy furnace slowly, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out.

Liu Shiwen took a look and saw that there was only one powerful pill inside.

"Father, you can't eat this carelessly." Although Chen Xiaozhuo is greedy, he also knows that eating too much of this kind of thing will upset your stomach.

"It's okay, this is already done." Liu Shiwen said and swallowed the powerful pill.

"Woo woo..."

In the middle of the night, Liu Shiwen was still tortured by the pain of the muscle tearing caused by the enhanced strength of the powerful pill and was speechless.

"See, I told father not to eat anything careless." Chen Xiaozhuo said as he soaked a handkerchief in water, wrung it dry and let Liu Shiwen bite it. This would relieve the pain a little without getting his tongue bitten.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's serious little face and slowly gave him a thumbs up.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

CHAPTER 7.The protagonist is here

"Go to sleep, father. The pain won't go away when you fall asleep."

Chen Xiaozhuo patted Liu Shiwen and soon fell asleep on Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's little face and knew that no matter what, this child had experienced too many terrible things.

Liu Shiwen endured the pain and hugged Chen Xiaozhuo. In the second half of the night, Chen Xiaozhuo began to talk in his sleep and had a slight fever.

Liu Shiwen was so scared that he hurriedly prescribed some antipyretic plasters for him. Fortunately, he was better by the morning.

"I guess he was scared."

Liu Shiwen had never raised a child himself, and there were many things he didn't know as he was just starting out.

He saw that Chen Xiaozhuo was in a bad mood when he woke up in the morning, and he felt distressed and guilty.

"At noon, your father will make you some sugar cakes. They're hot and filled with delicious sugar juice." Liu Shiwen was quite strict with Chen Xiaozhuo's sugar intake.

After all, the dental technology here is not very good at all, and this also requires strict attention.

Chen Xiaozhuo became happy when he heard it.

"Liu, get ready. Concubine Shu is coming to see you with an imperial decree."

Someone spoke outside the door.

Liu Shi was shocked when he heard this. The person he was most afraid of here was the protagonist Shu Feiyuan. All the halos were on him, and this was not something that a golden finger like space could contend with.

"I understand." Liu Shiwen moved, his muscles still feeling a tearing pain.

Liu Shiwen looked at Chen Xiaozhuo's sickly face and simply took Chen Xiaozhuo to lie down there.

"Empress Shu has arrived."

The eunuch outside the door shouted, and the door of the cold palace was opened.

Liu Shiwen coughed and struggled to sit up.

No matter who sees Liu Shiwen with disheveled hair, a disfigured face, and a sick look, they will feel miserable.

Just think about it, half a month ago this person was the glamorous and beautiful Concubine Liu, but now she has ended up in such a situation.

Everyone said that Concubine Liu was overthrown by Concubine Shu. Now, who in the palace is not afraid of Concubine Shu's methods? Now seeing Concubine Liu like this, everyone is more in awe of Concubine Shu.

"Greetings, Concubine Shu." Liu Shiwen called out, but there was no respect in his eyes.

Chen Xiaozhuo knew Shupin, who had a good temper. However, since he was listed as the most dangerous person by his father, there must be a reason for it.

Chen Xiaozhuo has been scared many times in the past few days and is now a little afraid of seeing people.

"Is he sick?" Shupin herself was a medical practitioner, and when she saw Chen Xiaozhuo's condition, she knew that he looked ill.

"Life in the cold palace is difficult. It's normal to get a little sick." Liu Shiwen said with a chuckle.

Shupin glanced at Liu Shiwen. There was a thief who broke into the palace last night and came from the cold palace.

Shupin knew more than others. Liu Shiwen's son was the son of King Yikang, and King Yikang might have been here.

"Let me take a look." Shupin said as she was about to reach out her hand.

"No...I don't want it...!" Chen Xiaozhuo shouted.

"There was a thief in the palace last night and Xiao Zhuo was scared. Now he doesn't want to be touched. Please spare his life, Shupin." Liu Shiwen naturally knew that Shupin, as the protagonist, would not harm Chen Xiaozhuo.

But as a supporting character, he has to play a role in the plot, and Shupin is an excellent doctor. It would not be good if she could find out anything.

"What do you mean? Is our Concubine Shu such a vicious person?" The palace maid beside Concubine Shu scolded.

"People in the palace are cunning and have different opinions. I'm staying in the cold palace and people often come to warn my father and me. Being cautious will help you live longer." Liu Shiwen stroked Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't sleep well last night, so he yawned and went back to sleep.

When Shupin saw Chen Xiaozhuo like this, she thought that he was still running around in the palace eating delicious food a few days ago, but now he was wearing tattered clothes and being hugged by Liu, whose face was disfigured. He looked really pitiful.

"Has anyone in the cold palace bullied this child?" asked Concubine Shu.

"That's it. There's no point in bullying." Liu Shiwen said vaguely.

Shupin frowned and said, "If others heard this, they would probably rush into the palace to kill us."

"Sure enough, you're here to get some information." Liu Shiwen knew that Concubine Shu would not come to see him.

He could sell out King Yikang to increase Concubine Shu's favorability.

But if he told others that King Yikang had been here, the cold palace would be closely watched, which would make life difficult for them, father and son.

"Shupin, there is something else behind your words. Why don't you just say it directly?" Liu Shiwen sneered.

Hearing the voice, Shupin looked at Liu Shiwen.

Shupin's appearance was not particularly outstanding, she was just a little bit above average, but her eyes were very bright and beautiful, as if they could read people's hearts at a glance.

However, Liu Shiwen was a person who had read the entire book, so how could he be afraid of the current protagonist? He also looked at Shupin with bright eyes.

Shupin thought about it for a while and smiled, saying, "His Majesty still feels a little guilty. He said that although you made a mistake, it shouldn't be this serious, so he asked me to bring some things over for you and your son."

After Shupin finished speaking, she asked someone to bring the things over.

When Liu Shi heard this, he looked at him excitedly, expressing his torment in the cold palace.

When the palace maids saw Concubine Liu's expression, they knew that he was still the same person who loved pleasure as before, and he must be dying of sadness in this cold palace.

"Your Majesty? Concubine Shu is joking. I have followed your Majesty for such a long time, I know what kind of person your Majesty is." Liu Shiwen stretched out his hand to take a look at those things and said, "They are probably used by Concubine Shu to get rid of my father and me."

"I give you things and you still complain about them. Don't you see your current situation?" said Shupin's maid again.

"alright."

Shupin was not mentally prepared for Liupin's sudden change. In his opinion, Liupin should not do such a stupid thing at this time.

But no matter what he thought, Concubine Liu's face was ruined and Chen Xiaozhuo's life experience was exposed. No matter what Concubine Liu was planning, he would end up killing himself.

Speaking of which, Concubine Liu was not Shupin's main enemy. Now that Concubine Liu was like this, although Shupin was not completely reassured, she did not care too much.

"Your Majesty, let's go. Don't delay the meeting with His Majesty." The palace maid said as if she wanted to deliberately anger Liu Shiwen.

"Your Majesty? What are you meeting with His Majesty for?" Liu Shiwen naturally wanted to cooperate and looked jealous.

"No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you." The palace maid said again.

When Shupin saw Liupin's expression, she wanted to say something but didn't, so she just left.

Only after Shupin left did Liu Shiwen slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

He gathered the things given by Shupin and took some food and drinks to give to the guards and maids outside.

Now, because of Chen Xiaozhuo's favor, the guards and maids are no longer so difficult for them.

After waiting for the division, Liu Shiwen sighed. He knew that this cold palace might be targeted by Concubine Shu, and there would not be so many good days in the future.

"It's all because of that damn King Yikang!" Liu Shiwen cursed. He had finally managed to leave the stage, but was pulled back because of King Yikang.

"Forget it, let's get some sleep first."

Liu Shiwen spread out the quilt and mattress given by Shupin, and had a comfortable sleep with Chen Xiaozhuo.

It is a good time in late spring and the cold has completely disappeared.

The cold palace had been cleaned and the unpleasant smell was gone. Liu Shiwen hugged Chen Xiaozhuo and they slept until noon.

While waiting to get up at noon, Chen Xiaozhuo looked around in a daze and thought: "Is the bad guy gone?"

"He is not a bad guy, he is just a dangerous person." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo thought about it and said that the man still had two peaches of favor for him.

"It would be good for you to have a better relationship with him." Liu Shiwen said in a low voice.

Chen Xiaozhuo was puzzled but nodded anyway.

"Who gave these to us?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked as he touched the smooth quilt.

"Yes." While Liu Shiwen and his son were talking, someone brought food over from outside.

This time the food was ordinary but clean.

"What is this?" Liu Shiwen was a little surprised.

"It was Concubine Shu who asked us to make this for you. All expenses will be charged to Concubine Shu." After the eunuch said this, he put the food down and left.

Liu Shiwen looked for a while, closed the door, and took Chen Xiaozhuo back into the space.

Because the food in the space was good, Chen Xiaozhuo was not very interested in the improved meals.

Liu Shiwen used a silver needle to test the poison and found nothing wrong.

But he ended up feeding the food to the pigs.

These meals were indeed better than before, but they were just vegetables and some half-cooked rice.

Chen Xiaozhuo was afraid that he wouldn't be able to eat.

"Let's go, let's have some barbecue for lunch." Liu Shiwen had just figured out how to make a baking tray.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so happy when he heard this.

"But if you keep eating like this, your face will become chubby. You don't look like someone who lives in the cold palace at all."

When they were enjoying the meal, Liu Shiwen also made some juice for Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo was enjoying the meal so much that he kept asking for more.

"No, your stomach will feel uncomfortable if you eat any more." Liu Shiwen said. Chen Xiaozhuo made a fuss for a while, but Liu Shiwen had to speak with a serious face in the end.

Only then did Chen Xiaozhuo obediently follow and start to clean up.

"You can't get so fat, Xiao Zhuo. If you eat so much, people will discover our secret." Liu Shiwen also had to pay attention to himself.

So he took Chen Xiaozhuo to work.

The fields have been turned over and the seeds have been sown.

Liu Shiwen got a piece of land for Chen Xiaozhuo and asked him to plant some flowers.

Chen Xiaozhuo was very interested when he heard this. He carefully scattered flower seeds here, while Liu Shiwen went to scatter seeds on the ground.

When they were halfway through, Liu Shiwen's expression suddenly changed, he dropped the seeds and ran towards Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Someone is coming!"

Liu Shiwen said this and took Chen Xiaozhuo out of the space.

As soon as the father and son opened their eyes, they saw King Yikang appear in front of them with a smile.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so frightened that he opened his eyes wide and wanted to scream, but King Yikang covered his eyes with his hand in advance.

"Are you hurt?" Liu Shi smelled some blood.

"It's all your fault, you ugly freak, that I fell ill. I almost got caught last night." King Yikang also blamed Liu Shiwen.

"Who asked you to take such a big risk to come and see us? As a result, Shupin also came to me to ask questions today. I guess he has set his eyes on this place too." Liu Shiwen also complained.

"I've got you targeted, so what can a little concubine do to me?!" King Yikang said as he lay there with difficulty. He took a few breaths and a little bit of blood seeped out from his side abdomen.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

CHAPTER 8. Onset

"Don't dirty our new quilt!"

Liu Shiwen felt distressed and hurriedly took a torn quilt to wrap King Yikang, and asked, "Where are your men?"

"They disguised themselves as the fake me and escaped from the palace. With my current strength, they will only die if they take me with them."

King Yikang closed his eyes and said with some pain.

"So you've been hiding yourself until now?" Liu Shi was filled with admiration when he heard this.

"Well, it's nothing. The people in this palace are all trash." King Yikang said, slowly opening his eyes and looking at Liu Shiwen, "Will you tell others about my presence here?"

"It's hard to say." Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang's face and said seriously.

King Yikang laughed when he heard what he said and said, "That's good. If they knew I was here, they would look very happy."

Liu Shiwen thought that the thing that His Majesty's family was most guilty about was King Yikang.

When the Cui family gave up the throne, it was agreed that it would be returned to the Cui family after three generations of the Chen family.

Although everyone knows that once the country changes hands, it will never be returned easily.

However, the existence of the Cui family has always been a thorn in the side of the Chen family, and the Cui family is not a poor family. They have always had forces supporting them in the south.

No matter how the Chen family secretly suppressed the Cui family over the years, they had to show kindness to the Cui family on the surface.

Otherwise, how can you justify sitting on such a great country and not letting others take over it, and not giving them some wealth and glory?

Liu Shiwen thought about it and felt that even if the current King Yikang was captured, the people in the palace would probably help him find an excuse to recuperate and get away with it.

Without evidence of King Yikang's treason, even the current emperor cannot punish King Yikang.

However, if he could not deal with King Yikang, he could also make King Yikang uncomfortable, such as dealing with his male concubine in the cold palace and Chen Xiaozhuo.

"As expected, King Yikang is still cruel." After Liu Shiwen reacted, he looked at King Yikang with murderous eyes.

As if he understood Liu Shiwen's thoughts, Prince Yikang said, "I didn't intend to come here, but Concubine Wang has had some troubles recently, so I had to come here. Don't worry, I'll rest here for a while and then leave."

"If you go out in this condition, you will be caught red-handed, won't you?" Liu Shiwen said as he tore open King Yikang's robe.

"you......"

King Yikang glared at Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen saw his wound, took a breath, then took out the healing medicine he had prepared and used it on him.

"hiss......"

King Yikang was sweating profusely the moment he felt the pain.

"I'm not a doctor, please bear with it." Liu Shiwen explained that he would not humiliate King Yikang after this.

"I know." King Yikang said through gritted teeth.

"Use this."

Chen Xiaozhuo brought over another handkerchief.

King Yikang looked at Chen Xiaozhuo in a daze.

"If you use this, you won't be able to bite your tongue. My father used it when he was in pain last night." Chen Xiaozhuo explained.

King Yikang opened his mouth and let Chen Xiaozhuo pass the handkerchief to him. After biting the handkerchief, he looked at Chen Xiaozhuo again.

Chen Xiaozhuo hid behind Liu Shiwen in fear.

King Yikang frowned, and finally lay there helplessly, seeing Liu Shiwen's face.

Liu Shiwen was actually a very good boy, but the better he was originally, the uglier the scar he had now.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen bandaged his wound and cleaned up the blood neatly.

"My robe..."

King Yikang tugged at his outer robe and said something.

"I'll find you another one when I come back." Liu Shiwen was so anxious to deal with the bloody clothes that he didn't care what King Yikang looked like.

"Your father has quite a bad temper." King Yikang looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and said in a low voice.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at him and found that this person's favorability towards him was increasing, but he looked so good that people were afraid to approach him.

Chen Xiaozhuo hurriedly followed Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen went around to the back, threw King Yikang's robe into the space and turned back.

"How did you deal with it?" King Yikang was worried that he had not handled it well and that someone might have discovered something, so he asked casually.

"You don't have to worry about these, there won't be any mistakes." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, King Yikang frowned and looked at Liu Shiwen.

"What?" Liu Shiwen also looked at King Yikang fiercely.

King Yikang suddenly laughed and shook his head.

"The person who delivers the food will be here soon. You should hide at the back first." After Liu Shiwen finished speaking, King Yikang nodded. As soon as he got off the ground, he staggered and almost fell.

"Father..."

Chen Xiaozhuo screamed when he saw King Yikang's look.

"Nothing." King Yikang said with a smile, then he stood up and went to the back.

After King Yikang had hidden himself, the person who delivered food from the cold palace arrived.

The food is still rice with vegetables, which is quite good for the cold palace.

But Chen Xiaozhuo and Liu Shiwen had just eaten barbecue at noon, so they were not that hungry now.

"Is that all you eat?" King Yikang took a look. He hadn't eaten for almost a day.

"This has been improved. For a cold palace, this is already very good." Liu Shiwen said as he took some of the food and served it to King Yikang.

"Eat it, it's not poisonous." Liu Shiwen said, fearing that he would think too much.

King Yikang looked at it, took out a silver needle from somewhere and tried it, then pushed it to Chen Xiaozhuo and said, "You guys use it, I'm not hungry."

After King Yikang said this, his stomach began to growl.

Liu Shiwen didn't expect that the big villain would have his stomach growling.

"You eat it. Xiao Zhuo and I saved some food." Liu Shiwen said as he pushed the food over.

King Yikang looked at Liu Shiwen and then at Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Eat." Chen Xiaozhuo also said.

King Yikang didn't know what to say, so he nodded and started eating.

Chen Xiaozhuo found that he had only given a little food to King Yikang, but this man was so moved by his kindness that he ran up to him.

And there is actually a new person named Chen Xiaozhuo in his favorite list.

"Like me?" Chen Xiaozhuo looked at King Yikang strangely.

King Yikang felt embarrassed as the father and son were staring at him while he was eating. Although the food in the cold palace was not good, it was the lifeblood of the father and son.

After I came over, Liu not only bandaged my wounds, but also shared some food with me.

I thought about what Liu said to me when I had that attack.

"You...you guys eat too." King Yikang didn't know how long it had been since he spoke to someone in such a serious and gentle tone.

"Okay, let's go to the back to eat. Your Highness, you take a rest first." Liu Shiwen pretended to be afraid of disturbing King Yikang's sleep, but in fact he took Chen Xiaozhuo to the back and took out some delicious food for Chen Xiaozhuo from the space.

Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to eat slowly and not make any noise.

Chen Xiaozhuo finished the delicious food Liu Shiwen gave him with a smile on his face. When the time was almost up, Liu Shiwen came out with the bowl.

King Yikang moved his eyelids, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Liu had eaten all the food.

"I guess they are hungry too, but they gave me their food like this..." King Yikang had no strength due to his illness, and he was also injured and hungry. Although he had a lot of thoughts in his mind at the moment, he fell asleep quickly.

"Tsk tsk."

Liu Shi was looking at King Yikang sleeping and couldn't help but admire his appearance. Although he looked sick, his eyebrows, eyes and facial features were all very handsome.

"He is so handsome." Chen Xiaozhuo had seen many good-looking people in the palace, but when he saw Queen Yikang, he still couldn't help but praise her.

"You look better than him." Liu Shiwen said as he pinched Chen Xiaozhuo's face.

Chen Xiaozhuo smiled embarrassedly.

Liu Shiwen took him out of the door and asked him to call out Sparrow to keep an eye outside in case of any disturbance.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded obediently, released the sparrow, and then sat inside the house.

Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang and was still a little worried and nervous.

If someone finds out, it will be a big deal.

"You're not going to die, are you?"

Liu Shiwen looked at King Yikang who was motionless, muttered something, and walked over to try his breath.

However, he didn't expect that as soon as he stretched out his hand, King Yikang opened his eyes ghostly, his cheeks flushed, and he grasped Liu Shiwen's hand and tried to pry it apart.

Before Liu Shiwen could scream, King Yikang had already let go of his hand and threw him aside, saying, "Don't do anything to seek death! Cough cough cough..."

Liu Shiwen got up from the ground and said, "How do I know that King Yikang is like a puppy and will bite people at any time?"

"Bold!"

King Yikang suddenly sat up and shouted, then pressed his chest and breathed heavily.

Chen Xiaozhuo was so scared that he hurried to Liu Shiwen's side.

"Don't be afraid, he is sick, dad will help him to heal him." Liu Shiwen naturally knew the condition of King Yikang. He took Chen Xiaozhuo to the back, put Chen Xiaozhuo in the space, and got the medicine bag from the space himself.

"Hoo...Hoo...Hoo..."

When Liu Shi smelled it, he saw that King Yikang was no longer in the room.

"Run away?"

Liu Shiwen's heart trembled. He reached out to open the door, looked around and found a figure in the corner.

Liu Shiwen looked at the sky outside and ran over quietly.

When he reached the corner, he saw King Yikang struggling to prepare for the battle.

He grabbed King Yikang and pulled him down with great strength!

King Yikang also didn't react, he twisted his body twice.

"Move again!"

Liu Shiwen knew that if someone saw this, he would be finished!

King Yikang was also confused, so he just stood there motionless.

Liu Shiwen held King Yikang in his arms, thinking that it was a good thing that the strength pill had taken effect, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the 1.80-meter-tall King Yikang so easily.

"A lean camel is still bigger than a horse." Liu Shiwen brought King Yikang in without even breathing, then covered King Yikang's mouth with the medicine bag he had prepared.

The remaining breath of King Yikang was blocked, and he suddenly started to cough uncomfortably.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Liu's face, which seemed to suffocate him.

"Don't move, just breathe! Inhale the powder!" Liu Shiwen shouted in a low voice. King Yikang stared at Liu Shiwen and took a few breaths after a long while.

After waiting for the medicinal powder to come in, King Yikang felt like a fish that had jumped onto the shore and finally jumped into the water again.

At this time, King Yikang reached out and held Liu Shiwen's hand.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

CHAPTER 9. Ask for money and silver bottle

"I was shaken by the villain?!"

Liu Shiwen was agitated, but he quickly realized what he meant.

King Yikang saw Liu's face change and she shook off his hand.

King Yikang's face also turned red. He glared at Liu. How dare this ugly girl despise him!

"Cough cough cough!"

King Yikang coughed a few more times.

"Shh!"

Liu Shiwen hushed for fear of disturbing the people outside.

King Yikang did not move again.

Liu Shiwen sat next to him and prepared medicine bags for him three times that night. When the night was about to start, Chen Xiaozhuo was also carried over from behind.

King Yikang looked at Chen Xiaozhuo sleeping, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he moved a little further away.

Liu Shiwen hesitated for a moment.

King Yikang immediately looked at him with pitiful eyes, the look that seemed to be begging him and looking at him at the same time, made Liu Shiwen curse him as a monster.

He put Chen Xiaozhuo on his other side and lay down next to King Yikang.

King Yikang gritted his teeth, but didn't say much in the end.

Liu Shiwen fell asleep quickly.

It was almost noon the next day when Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo woke up.

When they woke up, they found that King Yikang was gone.

"That scary guy is gone?" Chen Xiaozhuo was really scared.

Liu Shiwen looked outside, stood there for a while without any movement, then came back and said, "He should have left."

"Isn't he injured? How did he leave?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked in a low voice.

"He is a big shot and has people helping him. Let's not talk about this. It will be bad for us if someone hears it." Liu Shiwen said as he took Chen Xiaozhuo out to fetch water.

Liu Shiwen found that fetching water this time was much easier than before, but he didn't dare to show it too much and still slowed down to fetch water.

"Squeak."

At this time, the door of the cold palace was pushed open.

A young eunuch saw Liu Shiwen fetching water and trotted over to help Liu Shiwen fetch water.

"This eunuch?" Liu Shiwen was startled and blocked it with his arm.

"Hey, someone has said hello. If you have any troubles in the future, just say hello." The young eunuch said as he quickly helped Liu Shiwen bring in the water.

"Greeting? Who greeted?" Liu Shiwen didn't dare to accept this unclear greeting, otherwise it might be evidence of his crime if he was caught in the future.

"You don't have to worry about this. Even His Majesty has agreed to it." The young eunuch said to Liu Shiwen with a smile.

"Your Majesty also agreed?" Liu Shiwen was even more confused.

If King Yikang takes action, how could His Majesty agree? According to His Majesty's temper, he will kill Chen Xiaozhuo and me within two days.

"Yes, so you don't have to worry. But on the surface you are still in this cold palace, and you and the young master will suffer some grievances." The little eunuch talked for a while and then ran away.

After the eunuch ran away, Liu Shiwen asked Chen Xiaozhuo to chase him with a sparrow.

The little sparrow followed the young eunuch all the way until they came to a sedan chair. Someone in the sedan chair asked a question and then asked the young eunuch to arrange for it to go down.

"It sounds like that scary man." Chen Xiaozhuo said to Liu Shiwen.

"This...what does King Yikang intend to do? Did he reach some kind of deal with Your Majesty?" Liu Shiwen knew that King Yikang's thoughts were unpredictable, and it was difficult for ordinary people to grasp what he wanted to do.

But what he did now was clearly separating himself from Chen Xiaozhuo... or more importantly, it was Chen Xiaozhuo who was put on his side.

In this case, Your Majesty can keep Chen Xiaozhuo as a hostage with you, so as to better restrain King Yikang.

Although Your Majesty does not like being labeled, if he can exchange a brother for the safety of King Yikang, he will probably be very willing to do so.

Anyway, she has already been banished to the cold palace, so there is no need to worry too much about it.

"If that's the case, we can live a peaceful life for a while, but if the situation changes, then Xiao Zhuo and I will be fish on the chopping board! "

Liu Shiwen would never give the power of life and death to anyone.

He still needs to arrange it in his own way.

After Liu Shiwen made up his mind, he took Chen Xiaozhuo back to the cold palace.

Not long after, people slowly brought things in, and in a short while the entire cold palace was tidied up as if everything was complete.

"These two are here to serve you two."

At the end, a young eunuch and a palace maid were left here.

Liu Shiwen didn't even have time to refuse, as those people had already quietly retreated.

"I, your servant, would like to greet the two masters."

"The servant Yin Ping greets the two masters."

The two of them saluted politely.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked over and found that both of them came from his father's side.

As for their preferences, the eunuch Qingcai likes money and power, while the palace maid Yinping'er likes beauty and longevity.

Both of them like Chen Xiaozhuo to the extent of a peach.

Chen Xiaozhuo hid in Liu Shiwen's arms and said, "After Xiaozhuo came here, he didn't like others to hang around him. This place doesn't give you a place to rest..."

"I will be leaving after serving my master for two nights and will come back in the morning." Qingcai said in a low voice.

"I see."

Liu Shiwen felt a little relieved. If he had to watch over him and Chen Xiaozhuo all day, it would be fatal.

But even so, with two more pairs of eyes watching, eating would still be troublesome.

Liu Shiwen became angry with King Yikang when he thought about it. He was so incompetent that he tried to attract the emperor's attention.

"Forget it, now that you're here I can't refuse. Since His Majesty has agreed, there must be benefits." Liu Shiwen looked at the two people in front of him and thought of Chen Xiaozhuo's good impression of Taozi.

If all else fails, you can make these two people your confidants, and they can become your hands and feet.

"I don't know what these two like yet." Liu Shiwen glanced at Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo blinked. The tacit understanding between the father and son was very good.

"Master, it's almost time for dinner. I'll bring it to you." Qingcai said.

"Okay, go ahead."

When Liu Shi heard that they were going to have some food, his heart tightened. He thought of the emperor's methods and knew that there might be something else in the food.

After the man who asked for money left, Yin Ping suddenly bowed and knelt down, saying, "I, Yin Ping, greet my master. I am the prince's servant."

"Oh?" Liu Shiwen said and looked at Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the silver bottle again and found that the silver bottle's favorability towards him was indeed rising, but it also stopped at the position of three peaches.

"Get up."

Liu Shiwen heard it but didn't say much.

"I will try the food first, and then the two masters can enjoy it." Yinping said in a low voice.

Liu Shiwen nodded again without saying anything more.

"Master, our food is here." Qingcai brought it over carefully.

Liu Shiwen took a look and found that two meat dishes and three vegetarian dishes were already the meals used by the head nanny, which was indeed very good.

Yin Ping glanced at Liu Shiwen and said, "I'm afraid it won't suit the master's taste, so I'll try it first."

Qingcai smiled and said, "It's just for the master, how can we servants use it first?"

"Have you forgotten this again? The masters in the palace have to test the food before using it." Yinping said as she took the bowls and chopsticks and helped Liu Shiwen and the others taste the food first.

After waiting for the silver bottle to be used, Liu Shiwen said, "I don't like people watching me while I eat. You two can go out and wait."

"yes."

Qingcai looked at Liu's face and understood that he didn't want to be watched while eating, so he followed Yinping out.

After waiting for the two to leave, Liu Shiwen pushed the food aside and said, "Eat."

"good."

Chen Xiaozhuo responded and coordinated with Liu Shiwen to make some clinking sounds of dishes and chopsticks.

Chen Xiaozhuo opened his mouth and Liu Shiwen stuffed him a prepared snack.

Chen Xiaozhuo started eating.

Liu Shiwen taught him not to talk while eating and not to make any noise while eating.

Chen Xiaozhuo responded and the place quieted down.

After Liu Shiwen and his son finished their performance, he asked Qingcai and his partner to take the things and use them downstairs.

"I will stay here and serve you." Qingcai smiled and brought some water to help Chen Xiaozhuo wipe his hands.

Qingcai smiled and praised Chen Xiaozhuo a few words, but his favorability towards Chen Xiaozhuo was less than a peach.

Chen Xiaozhuo didn't say anything to him.

"He's been scared a few times and is timid now." Liu Shiwen saw that Qingcai was embarrassed and spoke up for Chen Xiaozhuo.

"Poor thing, young master." Qingcai said this and bowed before leaving.

After waiting for Qingcai to leave, Chen Xiaozhuo glanced at Liu Shiwen.

Liu Shiwen took him to the bed, and the two of them entered the space as soon as they closed their eyes.

After entering, Chen Xiaozhuo talked to Liu Shiwen about the two people's preferences and favorable impressions.

Liu was not surprised by the favorability of Qingcai, but the favorability of the silver bottle was only three peaches because she was King Yikang's person.

This level of favorability is indeed quite good, but for someone of Yin Ping's status, he would need at least four to feel at ease.

"You must never be alone with these two people in the future. When they talk to you, just pretend you don't understand anything. Got it?"

Liu Shiwen gave some instructions.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded somewhat frightened.

"You don't have to be too scared. Your father will always be with you. But we can't rule out unexpected situations. You have to learn to protect yourself, Xiao Zhuo." Liu Shiwen said with a serious expression.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded vigorously and said, "I will protect my father."

"Okay, that's right. Our current task is to increase the favorability of these two people and make them our people. Then we can get some information from them." Liu Shiwen explained.

"I know. It's just like my second brother, who used delicious food to get me to go to my eldest brother to ask questions." Chen Xiaozhuo reacted quickly.

"You've ever taken on this kind of job?" Liu Shiwen said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Hehe, it's because Second Brother gave me too many delicious foods." Chen Xiaozhuo said embarrassedly.

Seeing that he was embarrassed, Liu Shiwen said without teasing him, "It's difficult to ask for money, let's start with Yinping. You show more affection to Yinping, and I'll give her something to make her look better."

"Okay! Then I will call her Sister Yinping starting tomorrow, how about that?" After Chen Xiaozhuo said this, he also made a squinting and smiling expression, which was very commercial.

CHAPTER 10.Want to grow some vegetables

Chen Xiaozhuo has been very good at acting cute in order to get food since he was a child, and Liu Shiwen knows this.

But when he saw it with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but pinch Chen Xiaozhuo's cute little face.

Chen Xiaozhuo is not only cute like a child, but also has very beautiful facial features.

His father, Consort Liu Shiwen, was famous for her beauty in the capital, and had no rivals in the harem. As for his biological father, King Yikang, he was even more praised as the best in the world.

Now that all of these are applied to him, he looks like a cute ghost with melted snow.

"No wonder your golden finger is about gaining favorability, while I can only bend down and farm." Liu Shiwen now also tasted something.

As he spoke, the rice seedlings in the rice field over there began to grow, and they had to go over there to get some more water.

Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuo over there, and Chen Xiaozhuo was looking at his seedlings over there.

The father and son were each busy with their own things.

After waiting for Liu Shiwen to finish his work, he turned around and saw Chen Xiaozhuo sitting over there in the small flower field, muttering to something.

"What are you doing?" Liu Shiwen asked.

Chen Xiaozhuo smiled and said, "I want my flowers to grow bigger."

"Really?" Liu Shiwen had just finished speaking when he saw the flower seedlings in the flower field flash with green light, and then they actually grew a little bigger.

"Can it be used like this?" Liu Shiwenren was almost dumbfounded.

He didn't say much and took Chen Xiaozhuo to a green apple tree.

"Do you want to eat an apple?" Liu Shiwen asked.

Chen Xiaozhuo looked at the big apple and nodded vigorously.

"Okay, then just talk to it." Liu Shiwen said.

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded obediently, tilted his neck and began to praise the apple, saying how beautiful it looked, how sweet it smelled, etc.

Liu Shiwen observed for a while and it took Chen Xiaozhuo half a cup of tea for the apple to turn completely red.

"Don't you like apples very much?" Liu Shiwen asked in surprise.

Chen Xiaozhuo smiled embarrassedly.

Liu Shiwen patted his head and said, "Then from now on, just find something you like to praise."

"I want to help my father with work." Chen Xiaozhuo said coquettishly.

Only then did Liu Shiwen understand what he was thinking.

"That's good, but this is too tiring and not cost-effective." Liu Shiwen took Chen Xiaozhuozi to work there.

"The pen is full of pigs." Liu Shiwen looked at the pigpen and saw that the big and small pigs inside were having difficulty turning around.

He reached out and pressed the fence of the pigsty, and the pigsty began to upgrade and grow larger.

Chen Xiaozhuo stood there with his eyes wide open watching the pigpen expand three times, and the big pigs and piglets were separated.

"How is it? Father's magic tricks are pretty good, right?" Liu Shiwen laughed. He looked at the pigs in the pigsty, and with a final wave of his hand, the big pigs in the pigsty disappeared.

He walked to the sheepfold and waved his hand, gathering those sheep as well.

"Why is it gone? My sheep!"

Chen Xiaozhuo likes sheep better than pigs.

"Once they grow up, they have to be sold, otherwise they will be useless when they get old." Liu Shiwen explained to Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo pointed to a pair of lambs in the sheepfold and said, "But these two can't be sold."

"Okay, I'll keep it for you as a pet." Liu Shiwen agreed with a smile.

He took Chen Xiaozhuo to the granary again, patted the granary, upgraded its capacity, and then extracted a lot of grain from it.

The sound of abacus clanging was heard, and after a while a box appeared in front of Liu Shiwen.

"Wow, it's all silver!"

Chen Xiaozhuo exclaimed after opening it.

"Three hundred taels, it turns out that you can't get a good price just by relying on primary production accumulation." Liu Shiwen touched Chen Xiaozhuo's head and said, "Xiaozhuo, do you want to go out of the palace to play?"

"think!"

Chen Xiaozhuo has never left the palace since he was a child, except for the time when he was taken out when he was very young.

"Okay, then you have to accompany your father and do some work." Liu Shiwen said, and then he waved his hand and four piles of long stone slabs fell down.

"What is this?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked as he reached out and touched it.

"Stone slab, use this to pave the way to the end, and then we can go outside the palace to get some fresh air." After Liu Shiwen said this, he moved a piece of bluestone slab and placed it at the entrance of his yard.

"So many?" Chen Xiaozhuo exclaimed after looking around.

"Yes." Liu Shiwen was in the space, and many things were done automatically, but he had to go through this journey to the outside of the space by himself.

Each bluestone slab weighs over a hundred pounds. Fortunately, Liu Shiwen used the strength pill, and now his lifting strength is between two hundred and three hundred pounds.

"call......"

Liu Shiwen worked for a long time, but it was only a dozen more steps.

"Father."

When Chen Xiaozhuo saw Liu Shiwen like this, he went to get him some water.

"Okay." Liu Shiwen drank the spiritual spring water and his strength recovered faster. However, not long after he started working, someone knocked on the door.

Liu Shiwen woke up with Chen Xiaozhuo and saw Yinping coming in.

"I saw that my master had been sleeping for a long time and there had been no movement, so I came over to check on him out of concern." Yinping looked at the father and son. They were really carefree, as they could still sleep so well even in the cold palace.

"Oh, since you have nothing to do, you might as well take a nap." Liu Shiwen sat up without changing his expression.

Yinping hurried over to serve.

Liu Shiwen looked at the silver bottle and asked, "Where did you work before? You're going to have to endure hardships when you're sent here."

"I don't suffer. I used to do odd jobs in Yuanqing Palace. Now that I'm here, I have much more free time." Yinping said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Shiwen knew that Yuanqing Palace was not a large palace, and that all the concubines living in it were of low rank.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Yinping."

While Yinping helped Chen Xiaozhuo put on his shoes, Chen Xiaozhuo called out sweetly.

"I don't deserve it. I'm just a servant." Although Yinping said this, there was obviously more smile in her eyes when she looked at Chen Xiaozhuo.

"There's no need to be so clear about this. There's no one to play with him here, so just keep him company to relax." Liu Shiwen said.

"Yes." Yinping helped Chen Xiaozhuo clean up and started playing with him.

Liu Shiwen glanced at Chen Xiaozhuo. Chen Xiaozhuo hadn't played properly for some time, and after a while he started to giggle.

The silver bottle was also thrown in.

Liu Shiwen called Qingcai over and asked if the laughter in the cold palace could be spread out.

"As long as it's not too excessive, the master can do as he pleases here." After Qingcai said this, he glanced at Chen Xiaozhuo and the other man, but his eyes did not change much.

"I have nothing to do here, so I plan to open up the back of the farm and plant some crops to support myself." Liu Shiwen said.

Qingcai hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then bowed and said, "Then I'll go over and ask."

When Liu Shiwen heard him say this, he smiled and nodded.

After asking for money, he turned and left.

After waiting for Qingcai to leave, Yinping brought Chen Xiaozhuo over.

Liu Shiwen repeated what he had said to Qingcai.

"That's fine." Yinping couldn't bear to see Liu just lying there with the young master all day.

"But I guess it won't work." Liu Shiwen said with a sigh.

Sure enough, Qingcai came and said it was not convenient to start construction here. He only brought a bag of seeds and asked Liu Shiwen to plant them himself.

Liu Shiwen opened the packet of seeds and could faintly smell a moldy odor.

He smiled helplessly, and Qingcai looked at Liu Shiwen like this and said nothing.

"Xiao Zhuo, let's go and farm." Liu Shiwen perked up and took Chen Xiaozhuo out.

You can plant crops on both sides of the cold palace.

Liu Shiwen picked up the seeds and found that most of them were not viable.

But he didn't have much hope in the first place, he just treated it as taking Chen Xiaozhuo out for fun.

He first took Chen Xiaozhuo to weed and clean up there.

Yinping also came to help, but Qingcai said he had something to do and left.

"This person is really unruly." Yinping said angrily.

"He is not one of ours, so I'm afraid he will have to pass on the message for any movement we make." Liu Shiwen had already begun to silently row the silver bottle towards his side.

Yin Ping thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, he came from His Majesty's side, and he is different from this servant."

Liu Shiwen nodded, and took Chen Xiaozhuo with him to barely clear the area on one side, but it was almost dark.

While waiting for it to get dark, Qingcai brought the food over. This time it was nothing but sweet potato steamed buns.

"how?"

Liu Shiwen looked at this and felt that the gap was too big. He just wanted to grow something, but he made a big mistake? !

"This...this..."

Yinping was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Master, don't be angry. This is the situation we are in." Qingcai said in a light voice.

"You can't use the food the servants eat to feed us. No...even the servants won't eat these." Yinping said angrily.

"Okay, it's nice to change the taste." Liu Shiwen took a look and found that the hot one was still good.

He picked up one or two and went into the house and closed the door.

Inside, he made Chen Xiaozhuo shout that the food was unpalatable and he didn't want to eat it.

In fact, Chen Xiaozhuo was drooling when he smelled it.

"Kid, you are used to eating meat, so these are delicious to you." Liu Shiwen said as he planned to make a delicious corn steamed bun for Chen Xiaozhuo, putting some meat grains and shrimps in it.

As for sweet potatoes, there are sweet potatoes as sweet as honey in his space, and they are also delicious when roasted.

"Put it away."

Liu Shiwen knew that others were deliberately coming here to disgust him, because he had just thrown away all the farm work while saying he wanted to grow crops.

Of course I had to cooperate and slap myself in the face. The sweet potatoes and steamed buns I brought in were not eaten much, there were only a few tooth marks on them.

"Master, please eat something. This long night is hard to endure." Yinping felt distressed when she saw this, especially because Chen Xiaozhuo was still so young.

"Forget it. I don't have much appetite today." Liu Shiwen insisted on not eating.

When Qingcai saw Liu Shiwen like this, he rolled his eyes and took away the steamed buns and sweet potatoes.

Yinping was very angry, but Qingcai ignored her.

Liu Shiwen advised Yinping a few words. Seeing Liu Shiwen like this, Yinping just said that the master should not get angry with his own body, but make others happy instead.

Liu Shiwen thought that this was exactly the effect he wanted, but it was not easy to explain to Yinping. He could only persuade Yinping for a while, and then took some cloth and gave it to Yinping.

When Yinping saw the cloth, she was also moved. She shed two tears but still took the new cloth away.

"Sister Yinping's favorability towards Taozi has increased again." Chen Xiaozhuo reported in a low voice.

Liu Shiwen smiled and asked about Chen Xiaozhuo's action of asking for money.

"Qingcai took the steamed bread and sweet potatoes to the corner and showed them to someone. The person left after seeing them and even cursed us."

Chen Xiaozhuo said angrily.

Liu Shiwen heard Chen Xiaozhuo's angry look, laughed, and said, "Let them be, let's go eat something delicious."

When Chen Xiaozhuo heard about the delicious food, he immediately laughed and cheered silently in the room.

After waiting for a long time, Yinping and the other woman left the cold palace.

Liu Shiwen heard the tacit understanding and excitement between the father and son, walked to the bed, lay down and entered the space.

It was dark in the space.

Liu Shiwen brought over a little rabbit lamp, and Chen Xiaozhuo loved it very much when he saw it.

"Let's go dig some sweet potatoes first." Liu Shiwen said as he took Chen Xiaozhuo to a slope, dug out a few sweet potatoes, and carried them to the kitchen.

Liu Shiwen prepared the materials first, and then tried to ask Chen Xiaozhuo to help him make a fire.

Chen Xiaozhuo is very passionate about eating and learns quickly. He soon learns how to control the amount of heat.

"Yes, you might become a great chef in the future." Liu Shiwen said.

"But isn't the chef a servant?" Chen Xiaozhuo asked puzzledly.

"No, just do whatever you like and don't let other people's opinions affect you." After saying that, Liu Shiwen started steaming the steamed buns and put the sweet potatoes at the bottom of the pot.

The father and son sat together and watched the fire burning in the earthen pot.

"Father, was it the emperor's order that we were given steamed buns?" Chen Xiaozhuo suddenly asked.

Liu Shiwen was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chen Xiaozhuo and asked, "Did you recognize that the eunuch who answered the question was from your father's side?"

Chen Xiaozhuo nodded, came over with a little sadness and said, "Does Father hate Xiaozhuo now?"

When Liu Shi heard what Chen Xiaozhuo said, he was moved. Thinking of the temper and methods of the emperor in this palace, he probably no longer disliked Chen Xiaozhuo.

Chen Xiaozhuo was a shame to him, and it was brought to him by King Yikang Cui Zhesui.

In Liu Shiwen's opinion, if there was a slight chance, the emperor would definitely strike with lightning speed to kill himself and Chen Xiaozhuo.

The reason why he can tolerate Liu Shiwen and Chen Xiaozhuo now is because King Yikang is supporting him.

"It seems that King Yikang will not die in the short term." After Liu Shiwen said this, he thought of King Yikang's poisonous disease and felt a headache.

"Father, don't be sad. From now on, I don't like you anymore!" Chen Xiaozhuo said hurriedly when he saw that Liu Shiwen didn't say anything.
