Teng Ye knew that the one in the wrong was his nephew, but he was unwilling to let Mo Mingxi off just like that.
"Your Majesty, even if this official's nephew is mischievous, he does not deserve to die. Is Ming Xi not wrong in killing the innocent?" Teng Ye asked in a low voice.
"You can let someone examine his injuries. If I was the one who killed him, then I have nothing to say." Ming Xi calmly said.
Murong Ke wrinkled his eyebrows, "Where is the fatal injury on Teng Fei's body?"
Teng Ye glanced at Ming Xi. He had checked the injuries on his nephew's body, and other than the punch on his shoulder, he could not see any other injuries. The others were the same, and almost all of them only had injuries on their shoulders. However, according to what the guards said, after they were punched, their entire bodies could not move, as if all the bones in their bodies were broken. It was only after a long time that they were able to move.
Now that he was asked to say where his nephew's fatal injury was, he was unable to say it.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Fei Er suffered an internal injury, but it can't be seen from the outside." Teng Ye said.
"Did the imperial doctor take a look?" Murong Ke asked, "Could it be that the imperial doctor can't see where the injury is?"
Teng Ye knew that it was impossible to fool Murong Ke. Moreover, Ming Xi was his nephew, so he would definitely investigate thoroughly, "Replying to Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said … Fei Er suffered a shock."
"Shock?" Murong Ke raised his eyebrows, "Is he really that scared after hearing Ming Xi's name? Isn't he too timid? Is Ming Xi's name that scary?"
"Your Majesty, what is scary is not Mo Mingxi's name, but his previous identity. Even now, everyone still treats Ming Xi as a prince." Teng Ye said in a low voice. If Ming Xi was still a prince, then wouldn't Mo Rongzhan still be the emperor?
This matter definitely could not be tolerated.
Murong Ke lightly smiled, "This is not a big deal."
He really hoped that Ming Xi was willing to be a prince, so he directly made Ming Xi the crown prince.
"Your Majesty …" Teng Ye frowned, wanting to explain further.
"If Ming Xi is willing, then we can even make him the crown prince." Murong Ke cut off Teng Ye's words, he really did not like Teng Ye being so obviously guarded against Mo Rongzhan. If possible, he would rather swap identities with Mo Rongzhan.
Teng Ye's expression slightly changed, this time he had nothing to say.
"Sixth Uncle!" Ming Xi cried out in fright, "Please don't be rash. The matter of conferring the title of Crown Prince can be big or small, it cannot be taken lightly."
"The position of Crown Prince seems to be a burden to you." Murong Ke sneered at Ming Xi.
Ming Xi chuckled, "No, I just don't want to make things difficult for Sixth Uncle in the future."
Murong Ke glared at him, then said to Teng Ye, "Let the Imperial Physician treat your nephew. If he needs any medicine, go to the Imperial Pharmacy to get it."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Teng Ye knew that it was useless to continue talking about this matter. It was Fei 'er who stopped Mo Mingxi on the street. Furthermore, Fei' er didn't have any fatal injuries and was currently unconscious. Even the Imperial Physician said that Fei 'er was frightened. Even if he wanted to blame Mo Mingxi, he didn't have an honorable reason.
He could only blame Fei 'er for being a coward.
However, no matter how Teng Ye thought about it, he couldn't accept it.
"You may leave." Murong Ke waved his hand. If it wasn't related to Mo Mingxi, the prefectural magistrate wouldn't have rushed to the palace to report this matter. He also didn't want to bother with the trivial matters of two children. However, it was also because of this matter that he found out that Teng Ye's nephew had always been tyrannical outside. "Teng Ye, you should properly control your family."
Teng Ye's shoulders stiffened, "Yes, Fei 'er is naughty and mischievous. It is this official's fault for not disciplining him."
Murong Ke didn't say anything more and waved his hand to dismiss him.
Mo Mingxi obediently looked at him, "Sixth Uncle, can I also leave?"
"No." Murong Ke said lightly, "I still have something to ask you."
"Sixth Uncle … I have already said everything." Ming Xi said.
Murong Ke smiled at him. Although he didn't spend much time with Ming Xi, he knew that this nephew of his was much smarter and more mature than other children of his age. He definitely couldn't treat him like a child.
"Ming Yu, you haven't finished yesterday's homework. Go back to the palace and do it first. Imperial Father will accompany Ming Xi for a chat." Murong Ke looked down at Ming Yu and sent this curious daughter away.
"Imperial Father …" Did you know that it was really annoying to suddenly mention homework?
Murong Ke said with a smile, "Otherwise, there will be more homework tomorrow."
Ming Yu pouted and said pitifully, "Alright, then I'll go do my homework."
"When you finish your homework, Big Brother will take you out of the palace." Ming Xi said.
"Okay." Ming Yu turned back to look at Murong Ke, "Imperial Father?"
"Go." Murong Ke laughed.
After Ming Yu left, only Ming Xi and Murong Ke were left in the study.
"Sixth Uncle, what else do you want to ask me?" Ming Xi revealed an innocent expression.
"Don't pretend to be ignorant in front of me. I know what kind of person you are." Murong Ke said indifferently as he walked towards Ming Xi. Four years ago, he had once felt a strong surge of Inner Force in Ming Xi's body, and that Inner Force had even bounced him away. Taking advantage of the moment when Ming Xi was not paying attention, he quickly attacked him.
Ming Xi's expression changed. He took a step back and stretched out his hand to block Murong Ke.
Murong Ke was surprised to find that Ming Xi could already control his inner strength. Four years ago, he had allowed his inner strength to flow freely in his body.
It seemed that in these four years, Ming Xi must have had a fortuitous encounter.
"Sixth Uncle, let's not fight anymore. If I hurt you later, others will say that I'm treacherous."
"How did you make Teng Fei unable to move?" Murong Ke asked. He had originally reserved sixty percent of his strength, but after Ming Xi said that, he felt that he could use all his strength, but he found that it was still impossible to hurt Ming Xi.
The shock in Murong Ke's heart could no longer be described with words.
Ming Xi chuckled, "I only punched him once. He was so weak, if I really hit him, he would have been killed long ago."
"Your martial arts were all taught by An Ge?" Murong Ke stopped. Ming Xi had not used any inner strength, but even so, he was still able to suppress him. If he used all his strength, he would definitely not be this child's opponent.
It was too … unbelievable. Ming Xi was still a child.
"Yes." Ming Xi nodded without any hesitation.
"Your master is very powerful." Murong Ke said.
Ming Xi continued to nod, "That's right, everyone calls him Saint An Ge."
Saint? Murong Ke thought back to his impression of An Ge. He only felt that An Ge was a romantic person, but he did not expect him to be a saint.
"You really can't judge a book by its cover." Murong Ke sighed.
"That's right, that's what everyone says." Ming Xi said with a smile, "Sixth Uncle, then you won't hit me anymore?"
Murong Ke glanced at him, "In the future, if you meet someone like Teng Fei, you better not hit him so that he won't be scared silly again."
"Hey, Sixth Uncle, it's not that I want to hit him, it's that he wanted me to hit him." Ming Xi said innocently.
"Don't pretend to be innocent." Murong Ke glared at him unhappily.
