Yuan Bao sighed helplessly when he saw that Lu Tang was in a daze again. His mother really made him worry.
"Yuan Bao, do you still remember why we left the valley this time?”
Lu Tang came back to her senses and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Yuan Bao was a little depressed." Mother, didn't you say that Yuan Bao is a descendant of a noble family? Then, Prince Runan of the Great Zhou Empire is Yuan Bao's grandfather? We're going back to acknowledge our ancestors."
"Yes, what else?"
"Also, we're here to look for Yuan Bao's father.”
"Yes."
Lu Tang nodded. Yuan Bao looked a little unhappy. He did not have a good impression of the noble family's mansion and his father whom he had never met before. He preferred to live in the valley with his mother and master. His mother taught him martial arts to strengthen his body, and his master taught him medicine to save the dying and heal the injured. He also had Little Blossom and Little White to accompany him.
But…
He knew that he could not stay in the valley forever.
Because he was weak and afraid of the cold, his mother had found countless spirit herbs to nourish his body in the past four years. However, his personal ability was limited. If he returned to the Prince's mansion, there would be a lot of expensive medicine, and his mother would not be so tired.
He also had to find his father and extract the blood from his heart to make medicine to prolong his life.
"Be good."
Lu Tang patted Yuan Bao's head, but she swore in her heart that she would find the man who slept with Mu Haitang. Whether he was willing or not, she had to extract the blood from his heart. Nothing must happen to Yuan Bao.
As for the Mu family, he had to return to them. They were Yuan Bao's true family. Only by returning to the Mu family could he find clues about the owner of the jade pendant and find Yuan Bao's unknown father faster.
"Mother, you said it yourself. Four years ago, you accidentally fell off the cliff and lost your memory. You don't even remember who Yuan Bao's father is.”
Yuan Bao looked gloomy. He was really not interested in finding his father.
Lu Tang cleared her throat and blinked unnaturally. Yuan Bao was a smart kid and had a lot of questions. Sometimes, she couldn't even answer them, so she just made up a story about falling off a cliff and losing her memory. Lu Tang had thought it through. Even if she returned to Runan Mansion, she couldn't expose herself. If people knew that she wasn't the real Mu Haitang and that she had traveled from another time and space, they would probably kill her as a demon.
"Son, you don't have to worry about this. Mother has a way to find him. After you find him, you just have to call him father.”
Lu Tang said.
"Hmph, if you don't like it, just take the blood from your heart.”
Little Yuan Bao muttered softly.
"Son, what did you say?"
"Nothing much."
Yuan Bao shook his head.
"Then quickly eat the lotus. It's only yours after you eat it, lest there are any more problems.”
Lu Tang finally remembered that she hadn't eaten the Thousand-Year Lotus yet. She took it out from the box and handed it to Yuan Bao. The petals curled up slightly when the lotus left the crystal box. Yuan Bao knew that it needed to be eaten immediately.
"Mother, eat half of it. Yuan Bao, eat half of it.”
Yuan Bao pulled out half of the lotus and handed it to Hua Yan. His attitude was stubborn, and he looked as if he would never eat it if Lu Tang did not eat it.
Lu Tang sighed. This child was really stubborn. If she didn't eat it, this child definitely wouldn't eat it either.
"Mother, eat two petals. Yuan Bao, eat five petals.”
"Mother has four petals, Yuan Bao has three petals."
Lu Tang's expression froze." Yuan Bao, if you continue to nag, Mother will get angry and won't eat a single piece."”
Yuan Bao rolled his eyes and saw that Lu Tang's face was really dark. He knew that his mother could not take it anymore, so he nodded obediently." Okay, okay, okay. Mother has two petals, and Yuan Bao has five petals."”
He might as well not eat it alone. This thousand-year-old lotus was really something that could nourish one's skin. Mother wanted to eat it.
Thus, the mother and son finally reached a consensus and shared the Thousand Year Lotus.
The Thousand Year Lotus melted in his mouth and left a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth. It was truly a top-notch spirit herb.
After eating the Thousand-Year Lotus, Lu Tang fiddled with the crystal box in his hand. It was a good item and could be sold for a lot of money. He chuckled and casually threw the crystal box away.
If someone were to pass by at this moment, they would definitely be surprised. How could this crystal box disappear into thin air?
However, he did not notice that the jade bracelet on Lu Tang's wrist flickered slightly.
"Let's go, we'll continue on our journey."
Lu Tang and Yuan Bao stepped onto the small donkey cart in high spirits and began to travel leisurely again.
On the other side…
Jiang Zihao went to the small town and found a fast horse. He held the treasure that he had obtained with great difficulty in his arms and rushed to the capital of the Great Zhou. He ate and drank on the horse's back. He didn't stop and finally returned to the capital after a day and a night.
He didn't return home, but quickly ran to a mansion. There was a red door with two lions at the door. On top of the door was a black golden Phoebe Wood board with three big words written on it in a flamboyant manner: Crown Prince's Mansion.'
Jiang Zihao didn't enter from the front. Instead, he went around the backyard and ran over the high wall before landing in the backyard.
"Young Master Jiang, can't you just use the main entrance?”
As soon as Jiang Zihao landed, a shadow-like man appeared behind him and spoke.
"Dark Nine, you scared me to death. I really can't escape your eyes no matter where I enter. Where's Crown Prince Cousin? I got the Thousand Year Lotus…"
"Really? Young Master Jiang is really amazing. This time, His Highness the Crown Prince should reward you.”
"Haha, it's a small matter. I will naturally complete the task that Crown Prince Biaoge gave me.”
Jiang Zihao waved his hand happily.
"Your Highness is at the hot spring in the back mountain. I'll bring you there.”
"No need, I know the way."
Jiang Zihao waved his hand and ran towards the back of the mountain. There were layers of trees, jagged rockery, and crystal jade carvings of birds. At this time, the sun was setting, and the flowers and trees swayed in the twilight. The flowers were like brocade, red like clouds, beautiful and dazzling.
The steam in the hot spring water curled up, and a man's back could be vaguely seen in the red mist. His black hair was scattered, and he leaned against the rock wall. His back was hazy, but it made people hold their breaths. They only felt that this scene was too beautiful.
"Cousin Crown Prince."
Jiang Zihao shook his head and stepped forward.
"You're back?"
The person in the spring spoke.
His voice was low and magnetic, but it was filled with a pleasant coolness.
"En, Crown Prince Cousin, I didn't disappoint and have already retrieved the Thousand Year Lotus.”
"Are you injured?"
"I met an ambush on the way and was poisoned by the Five Poison Powder.”
"Yes."
The man stood up from the spring water, turned around, took the bathrobe from the rock, put it on, and went ashore.
Jiang Zihao felt his nose heat up...
Jiang Zihao quickly looked away and rubbed his nose. He was such a good-for-nothing. He actually had a nosebleed. Even though he had seen his cousin countless times, this half-naked bathrobe and his cousin who had just finished showering was too tempting...
