Chapter 1111: Chapter 1112: In This Life, We Can Never Be Just an Ordinary Father and Son

When he made the first kowtow, his forehead heavily struck the floor, and the Emperor’s heart clenched. By the time Xiaoye lifted his head, blood had already begun to seep out.

Then the second, the third...

The Emperor did not call for a stop, so Xiaoye kept on going. Initially, the Emperor stubbornly held onto his teacup, thinking to see just how defiant you could be, wondering how long you could keep this up.

However, when the Emperor eventually saw the blood on Xiaoye’s forehead flowing down like a pillar, he finally couldn’t bear it and cried halt, tears streaming down at the Imperial Court: "Xiaoye, are you intent on making your father suffer...."

Xiaoye looked up at the Emperor and then heavily bowed three more times.

Afterward, he stood up, gave the Emperor a tight hug, and then turned to leave the Imperial Palace.

Forgive me, Father. I’ll repay your kindness in raising me in the next life.

Due to the problem of his origin, their lives were destined never to be that of an ordinary father and son.

Just as Xiaoye walked outside and intended to ask the concubine guarding the palace gate to tell him Nan Feng’s whereabouts, the concubine shook her head: "Xiaoye, Nan Feng has fled."

Fled?

...

Xiaoye rode out of the Palace, searching all the way.

He first reached the Inn where Nan Feng had stayed that day, then analyzed her potential direction from the Inn’s location.

Where could she have gone?

Dapeng Village?

No, Nan Feng said they could never return to Dapeng Village, because the Dajin Emperor knew she came from Dapeng Village. Xiaoye had also spent some time in Dapeng Village. If the Dajin Emperor were to learn that Xiaoye, the eldest prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was not in the Palace, he might go to Dapeng Village to look for them. Nan Feng also said she was not from this era, and she had already repaid her debt to Nan Quanyou, so she no longer had ties to Dapeng Village.

Besides, their childhood friends had all grown up, some had left, and others married. Returning there wouldn’t be like what it was in their memories.

So where could she really go?

As Xiaoye pondered, he suddenly thought of a place that Nan Feng had mentioned. Could she have gone there? But that place was vast, and where could Nan Feng have settled down?

...

On a passenger boat filled with people, a woman in a red cloak, her face well covered, sat on the deck holding a child.

The woman appeared to be in a good mood. She hummed a tune while holding her child, occasionally pointing out the scenery to her little treasure: "Xiaobao, look, this is the river. You’ve rarely seen a river, right, and seldom been on a boat? The last time you were on a boat, you were much smaller. I wonder if you remember."

Xiaobao could now understand speech, and having seen many people on the boat trip, she wasn’t as shy as she had been in the Palace and even looked quite excited, especially at the sight of egrets flying over the river, clapping her hands at them from time to time.

"You see, the mountains on the bank are much taller than the artificial mountains in the Palace, don’t you know what’s in the mountains? There are wild boars, wild chickens, just bring those down, and you can enjoy delicious food, truly tasty. It’s been quite a while since mother tasted the delicious food from here, and I really miss it."

The baby swallowed and then stared continuously at the mountain, now a little foodie herself.
