Xiao Changyuan hit two deer in the deep mountains, and also found a fruit-bearing hawthorn tree and picked a lot of fruits.

Yun Pian Pian wanted to make rock candied haws to sell in the county town.

But she didn't have sugar at home, and the town's market didn't sell it so she have to go to the county seat.

After lunch, Yun Pianpian went to Xie Yu's house to ask him bring them to the county town tomorrow, so she could buy sugar and some daily necessities.

Xie Yu promised her with a smile.

Yun Pianpian returned home and dried the haws under the sun, After it was dried, nut could be easily taken out, fried and eaten as snacks.

The next day, Yun Pianpian and Xiao Changyuan rode Xie Yu's cart to the county seat.

Every time they'd enter the county, Yun Pianpian would smear Xiao Changyuan's face with pot ash so Xiao Changyuan was accustomed to it.

After the two arrived at the county, they handed their prey to Xie Yu for him to sell.

Yun Pianpian and Xiao Changyuan went to the market to buy a lot of things. Rock sugar, refined sugar, sesame seeds, honey, and bamboo sticks. These are the ingredients for making candied haws.

The two continued to shop at the market when Yun Pianpian suddenly saw a noticed of a missing person on the wall.

The portrait is of a cool and handsome man.

She walked over.

The person in the notice is Prince Zheng, 20 years old, seriously injured.  There's also a reward paid of three hundred taels of gold if found.

Yun Pian Pian heard the voices of several ordinary people talking behind her.

"When did Prince Zheng appear in our country of Mo?"

"I've never heard of that name before, Could he be the illegitimate son of the old emperor?"

"Why are they looking for a tyrant?

Hearing the disrespect to Xiao Changyuan in the voices of the common people behind her, she was stunned.

In the original novel, Xiao Changyuan unified the five kingdoms, and he was meritorious to the state of Mo.

At that time, the five kingdoms had a truce, which had been suspended for thirteen years. The common people did not want to fight. It was the same for common people who would be the master of this world. However, Emperor Zhaoyan started a war for his own selfish desires, which destroyed the maintenance Thirteen years of peace.

In those two years, the war raged, the people were displaced, and there was grief everywhere.

The army's granary, extortionate and miscellaneous taxes, made the people of Mo overwhelmed.

The people all over the world hated Emperor Zhaoyan, who started the war, and also hated Xiao Changyuan, who was in command of this own expedition.

Less than half a year after Xiao Changyuan ascended the throne, he executed the twelve heroes of the Yinglan Palace.

"If it's really for the purpose of cutting weeds and eradicating the roots, then why has the tyrant kept Prince Rui untouched for so many years?"

"Who knows? Xiao Changyuan has an odd temperament, he's cruel, and bloodthirsty. The palace is often filled with blood and corpses..."

" Shhh, how can you directly call the emperor by his name?! This is disrespectful!"

"If we keep quiet about it and you don't talk about ut, how does the tyrant know that I'm talking about him..."
