Ning Shu wasn’t in the mood to buy food for Xuan Hongyu anymore. She just bought some cereal and then headed back.

  She lugged the cereal back, but the moment she stepped into the stone room, she smelled the telltale stench of poop. Xuan Hongyu was standing in the corner with a dark aura all around him as he watched the child that was covered with poop crawl on the ground. Every place the child crawled past, there was a trail of poop.

  Ning Shu: ……

  Even if he didn’t wash the child, if he had just carried the child to the bucket, the room wouldn’t have ended up like this.

  “Hurry and get him out of here,” said Xuan Hongyu coldly.

  The fudge? This was your son though! His surname of Xuan came from you!

  Since you were going to be a father, you should undertake the responsibility of a father!

  Ning Shu got the child into the water and washed him clean before placing him on the stone bed. Xuan Hongyu was looking through the things Ning Shu had brought back. “Where’s the food I told you to buy?”


  He still had the mood to eat right now? Ning Shu said, “Master, it’s terrible.”


  Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu and Ning Shu proceeded to tell him about the news she had gathered.

  Xuan Hongyu’s expression didn’t change upon hearing this news, so Ning Shu couldn’t figure out what he thought of this. She asked, “Master, what should we do now?”


  Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu without speaking.

  When Ning Shu saw him like this, she decided to just go cook. The current Xuan Hongyu seriously had nothing left. Wait no, he still had her, this death soldier, and a son.

  Ning Shu was in the middle of feeding Xuan Miexiao when Xuan Hongyu walked out from the stone room. He had the same unconcerned look on his face and the same magnificent noble aura around him as always.

  Xuan Hongyu had Ning Shu ladle him some rice. As he ate, every movement of his was elegant and dignified. Even when he was in this stone room, watching him made it feel like the surroundings was a bejeweled jade palace.

  Ning Shu looked at the silent Xuan Hongyu as she asked, “Master, what should we do now?”


  “Can you stop asking that all the time?” said Xuan Hongyu coldly.

  Ning Shu curled her lips in disdain. Look, even he was stuck.

  Since things were already like this, Xuan Hongyu should just live an ordinary life. Xuan Xiaotian was emperor now after all. The two of them were on different levels from the start. If Xuan Xiaotian wanted to kill Xuan Hongyu, it would only take a wave of the hand.

  “Master……”


  “Be quiet.” Xuan Hongyu cut Ning Shu off.

  Ning Shu had no choice but to stop talking.

  The next day, Xuan Hongyu woke up early in the morning and said to Ning Shu who was making breakfast surrounded by flames and smoke, “Disguise this prince’s face. This prince is going to enter the city.”


  Ning Shu asked, “Master, what are you going to the city for?”


  “Eleven, you talk too much,” said Xuan Hongyu coldly.

  Ning Shu pressed her lips together in annoyance and used her very crappy disguising skill to help disguise Xuan Hongyu.

  Basically, she just did everything possible to make him ugly. Xuan Hongyu’s looks were extremely good and he had a natural noble aura, so it was seriously hard.

  Things like aura came from the very bones.

  After a while of struggle, she finally got him to look passable. Ning Shu couldn’t stop herself from asking, “Master, it’s very dangerous for you to enter the city like this. Should this subordinate go with you?”


  Ning Shu had to make sure that Xuan Hongyu lived. At the very least, Xuan Hongyu had to be alive until she left this world. As for what happened after she left, whether Xuan Hongyu survived or not, that wasn’t her problem.

  Xuan Hongyu glanced at Ning Shu coldly. “What do you mean by dangerous? It’s not like this prince is going to break into the imperial palace.”


  You would though. Ning Shu felt that with Xuan Hongyu’s passion for courting death, he was fully capable of doing something like that. If he ended up captured by Xuan Xiaotian, Ning Shu didn’t have the confidence to get him out a second time.

  Xuan Xiaotian would probably also kill Xuan Hongyu as quickly as possible too in order to prevent him from causing any more trouble.

  Ning Shu was extremely apprehensive. Please don’t do anything rash! Ning Shu exhorted, “Master, please please make sure to be careful.”


  Xuan Hongyu nodded, then glanced at Xuan Miexiao who was crawling all over the ground. “Look after him well. This prince will be back very soon.”
