Jinghe Palace.

When the carriage stopped, Liu Jing was still immersed in a sad numbness.

He sat motionlessly in the carriage, his eyes so empty.

Shame...shame...shame...when he was rejected by Li Fan, when he faced the ridicule of all officials.

When he lost his last trace of dignity and face in front of the entire empire in public.

He was like a walking corpse.

The curtain of the carriage was unveiled.

Youcao's familiar voice sounded: "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"

Get off soon..." She reached out and pulled him.

Liu Jing's hand was held by her and she walked out of the car door. When he jumped out of the carriage, he couldn't help but hug Youcao and cried bitterly! Youcao was stunned. Her body was a little stiff because of Liu Jing's sudden hug, but after it was stiff, she was instantly filled with heartache.

"Your Highness...what happened?

what happened?

Is someone bullying you... Youcao goes to scare him and beat him..." Youcao couldn't help but gently hug Liu Jing's shoulders, making the prince who had always been tenacious cry in his arms.

The night is already pitch black.

After a long time, Liu Jing slowly recovered from his emotions and returned to the bedroom with Youcao.

"Tell Youcao is OK?

what happened?"

Youcao poured tea for him and asked with heartache.

Liu Jing still had a sad look on his face and said, "Li Fan rejected me...he refused me..." "In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he refused me!"

There was still a hint of reluctance in his words.

Why?

Why do I pay so much but get such a result?

It's ridicule.

It's contempt.

It's disdain.

Is it not worthy of enjoying a trace of dignity in the Daxi Empire as long as you have a trace of blood of the Hu people?

Not worthy of the slightest respect from the world?

At this moment, a kind of hatred suddenly arose in his heart.

He hated this empire! Originally, when he heard the teacher say that the army of Hu and Qiang people was about to assemble and invade Daxi, his heart was still full of worries, but now, he only hopes that the fierce Hu people will come soon... He wants to destroy everything.

Destroy all those who have witnessed their own shame.

"He doesn't know how to politely... Your Highness, we don't know the same knowledge as him. Sooner or later, he will regret it!"

Youcao comforted him, and at the same time he was a little angry, saying, "Li Fan, this stern-hearted villain, you are obviously so kind to the people, but he turns a blind eye!"

At this moment, the knock on the door sounded.

"Please come in."

Youcao opened his mouth and saw an old man pushing the door open, which was Liu Jing's teacher.

He had an extremely gloomy expression on his face and said, "I have heard of the news."

"It's all over... everything is defeated."

Liu Jing murmured.

"No, it's not defeated yet!"

The old man spoke, saying, "Today's banquet is just a proof that now the court is in power!"

"You don't have to worry. When the army of the royal court swept the entire Daxi, this country will still fall into your hands."

"At present, you don't have to participate in the follow-up matters anymore, you just need to continue to hide your weaknesses."

"Wait, wait for the arrival of the royal army!"

"I am about to set off to the grassland. Duan Congrong's army is about to arrive at the front line, and the war is about to begin."

Liu Jing nodded mutely, stood up, and said, "Teacher, be careful--" the old man left immediately.

"Your Highness, let's listen to Mr. Zeng. From today on, Youcao will accompany you to travel around, play piano and chess, and will no longer care about external affairs."

Youcao gently held Liu Jing's hand.

The smile on the corner of her mouth made Liu Jing feel a little warm. At this moment, the servant suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, there are a few refugees outside the palace who said they want to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing and Youcao were both surprised.

Refugees?

What do refugees come here to do?

"If you let them leave, you will say that your highness will not see the guests."

Youcao opened his mouth directly.

But Liu Jing said, "Wait, what are they doing when they come to see me?"

The man said, "I said I was here to deliver things, but the villain didn't know what he was giving."

Liu Jing thought for a while and said, "I'll go out and have a look."

Youcao immediately followed him toward the palace gate.

After leaving the palace gate, Liu Jing and others saw several people waiting. The leader was an old man. The old man looked skinny and his clothes were covered with patches. He was holding a small cloth bag in his hand.

And he was surrounded by a little girl and a woman.

At first glance, they are all the most ordinary people, and even Liu Jing can tell that they are mostly poor people.

"Three, what's wrong with me?"

Liu Jing stepped forward and asked in confusion.

When he saw him, the old man immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The Caomin has seen the Third Prince!"

"Third Prince, you didn't go to the west of the city today. The villain heard that when you were repairing our house yesterday, you fell. The villain was worried that you had broken your body, so he specially picked some medicines for the treatment of bruises and injuries..." He said, opening the cloth bag, but saw that it was full of fresh herbs, rhizomes, etc.

"These herbs are extremely effective, and all the grass people have used it..." He said with a simple smile on his old face, "In addition, the people in the poor streets in the west of our city insisted on thanking you, so they gathered some eggs..." Behind him, the woman with the little girl unveiled the cloth on the basket, which were all eggs.

Seeing this scene, Liu Jing was stunned.

The gourd grass was also a little surprised.

"You..." Liu Jing was at a loss for a moment! He looked at the old man's simple and kind smile, the little girl's clear eyes, and the kindness in the woman's eyes... He suddenly felt a different kind of warmth in his heart.

He suffered all the humiliation and indifference in the court.

But, in these humblest and poorest people, we have received enthusiasm and gratitude.

He solemnly requested to become a disciple in the court, but was ridiculed by others. However, he did an insignificant little thing among the people, but those most ordinary people were concerned about him... He was filled with mixed feelings, and for a moment, his eyes became a little hot.

He stepped forward and helped the old man up, his throat was even more swallowed. He couldn't say anything, so he could only take the herbs and said deeply: "Thank you, thank you!"

He turned his head and said, "Youcao, take the eggs for this sister-in-law."

Youcao immediately stepped forward and took the basket.

Seeing this, the old man and the wife and the little girl were very happy! The third prince accepted their things! "Thank you what we do?

We should thank the Third Highness. Without you, our house is still leaking now!"

The old man smiled and said, "Third Prince, you have a good rest, so the grass people won't disturb you."

"Old man, what's your name?"

Liu Jing hurriedly asked a question.

"Your Highness, we are all poor and lowly people, and you won't have to worry about your reputation."

The old man refused to say that and turned around and left.

Their backs slowly disappeared into the night.

Liu Jing was still standing at the gate of the palace. The night wind was blowing and the coolness was getting cold, but at this moment, he felt so warm all over his body! "Your Highness, you are not sick, why are you doing this?"

The servant next to him asked in confusion.

"You don't understand."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I'm sick."

He lowered his head, held the herbs in his hand tightly, and said, "I am sick, and the whole Daxi is sick... This is the prescription for curing the disease. I found it, I believe I have found it!"

His words were full of excitement and said, "Youcao, let the kitchen make fried rice with eggs tonight, and use the eggs they gave!"
