"You are a green onion in my heart. I'll chop you up and throw you in the latrine..." The children's singing echoed throughout the palace, day after day.
On the recliner, Li Mu recalled a distant memory of children singing.
Never would he see those little kids or play with them again.
He wondered how they were doing.
Soon the singing drifted over from the palace again, and the children all over the streets of the Imperial Capital sang along too.
The Ministers in Hanlin Academy were very frustrated by this.
"What on earth are they singing? How did our children learn a song like this?"
"Master Chen, forget it. They're just children."
"So what? If we don't correct them now, what will happen when they grow up?"
The minister next to him whispered, "Master Chen, I heard that this song came from the palace."
"Then I will tell His Majesty about this."
