Chapter 829 I Can't Go On Being A Bastard Like This (2 More)
Just as Shen Tianshu was about to speak, Li Zian made a shushing gesture, then directly held her hand and motioned her to come out from the window so as not to disturb others.
Xie Yan, who was working the night on the roof, had a panoramic view of everything and was really speechless.
With all the guards and hidden guards in the courtyard, who can you hide from them?
The only one who was kept secret was Gao Xiuer, who was sleeping outside.
Looking at the hand that had been stretched out in front of him, Shen Tianshu's mind started to heat up. He didn't want to worry about so many rules anymore, so he directly stretched out his hand to put it on, and with Li Zian's help, he climbed over the window lightly.
Seeing Li Zian directly taking Shen Tianshu to the corner and taking her out on the ladder, Xie Yan couldn't help but start to have a headache.
He signaled the secret guard to follow him to protect the two of them, then he got off the roof and went to report to Fan Yuru.
The guards were also searching other places in Zhuangzi. So many people in Zhuangzi had to be registered one by one. From time to time, people came to report things.
So Fan Yuru has been very busy from last night to now. Not to mention going back to sleep, even having a cup of tea has been interrupted several times.
It didn't matter that Li Zian couldn't help, but he actually wanted to cause trouble for him.
"Can't you just go out of the door normally!" Fan Yuru put down the pen in his hand angrily, but still asked, "Do you know where he took the person?"
He didn't wait for Xie Yan's reply after asking, and said directly: "Okay, no need to say more, I know, you must be going to the station to the east, right?"
To the east of Zhuangzi, there is a platform that is nearly three stories high and I don’t know what it is used for.
If it's an observation tower for safety reasons, its location is a bit strange, and I didn't see anyone on top to guard it.
Li Zian guessed that it might be a star observatory, but he didn't know why a rural villager would build such a high star observatory.
When he saw this stand, Li Zian showed some interest.
So at this moment, Fan Yuru didn't even have to think about it, and knew that he must have taken Shen Tianshu there.
It's the end of the month now, and there's almost no trace of the moon in the sky. The sky is clear, so it's really a good time to watch the stars.
"Forget it, just ask people to guard the area and don't cause any trouble. Just let him go!"
After Fan Yuru finished speaking, he threw himself into a new round of busy work.
As he expected, Li Zian did bring Shen Tianshu to the high platform.
He just came over by himself to clean it briefly, and even laid a thick blanket on top that he found somewhere.
"Didn't you notice that there are so many stars in the sky today and they are so bright?" Li Zian climbed up to the stage with Shen Tianshu and blew out the lamp in his hand.
The moment the light disappeared, the stars in the sky appeared in their field of vision as if they were awakened instantly.
Li Zi'an pulled Shen Tianshu to sit on the blanket, and he simply lay down directly, put his hands behind his head and said: "There is a sutra tower in the palace, and its roof is the highest place in the palace.
“When I’m in a bad mood, I climb up alone and lie on the roof to watch the stars.
“Sometimes I fall asleep on top while watching it.
"Later I found out that both my grandmother and my mother knew about this habit of mine and were afraid that I would fall asleep and fall down.
"But they don't want to disturb me, so they have to arrange many secret guards to guard down below, ready to catch me if I fall."
"The tallest building in the palace..." Shen Tianshu recalled the building of Prince Rui's palace, "It is indeed a bit dangerous."
Li Zian said: "Fortunately, I sleep well and have never fallen."
As they chatted, Shen Tianshu slowly relaxed. Although it was impossible to lie down like Li Zian, he changed from sitting upright with his hands around his knees to straightening his legs, supporting his hands behind his back, and lying on his back. Looking up at the sky.
"To be honest, it's because my dad woke up now that I dare to recall the difficulties at the beginning.
"I didn't dare to even think about it before, for fear that I wouldn't be able to hold on if I thought about it."
"It must have been difficult at that time!" Shen Tianshu said softly.
"Before my father's accident, I was very different from what I am now." Li Zian recalled, "I have been famous for being naughty since I was a child. Whether it was in the palace or in the palace, I turned everything upside down.
"Fortunately, my grandfather and grandmother have always doted on me, otherwise I would have received countless beatings.
"After I came to Huguang with my parents, I had more room to be naughty. Except for my grandmother who could say a few words to me, my parents couldn't control me at all.
"At that time, my father was in his prime and in good health, so even though I was the heir to the throne, I never thought that one day I would need to take over the affairs of the palace.
"I always feel like I will always be like a child, living a carefree life under the protection of my parents.
“My father’s injury and coma was like a bolt from the blue, which completely shattered my life.
"In the first six months, I was still in a state of not accepting the facts. I went everywhere to visit famous doctors, and every day I fantasized that when I opened my eyes the next day, I would find that my father had woken up.
"Looking back now, I was really living in a hazy state during those days. I was either drinking or losing my temper every day. It's no wonder that even the officials in the palace thought that I was an adou who couldn't be helped."
Shen Tianshu comforted him: "You were only fifteen years old back then, and you suddenly suffered such a big change. It is only human to have such a reaction."
"I thought the same way at the time, so I just allowed myself to be immersed in grief and anger.
"Guess, who pulled me out of here in the end?"
"Who?" When Shen Tianshu heard him ask this, he felt that this person might not be Princess Fengrong and Princess Rui, so he guessed, "Is it Mr. Fan?"
Li Zian shook his head, chuckled and said, "It's Zihan."
"She was able to walk more steadily during that time, so she chased me every day, calling her brother and brother.
"I don't want her to see me drinking, losing my temper, and throwing things, so she has to endure it.
“I endured it and found that controlling my temper was not as difficult as I thought.
"Later, there was a spy among the servants of the palace, who poisoned the food that my father ate, but Zihan accidentally tasted it.
“She was less than two years old at the time, and although she only ate a small bite, she almost lost her life.
"That time I sat beside her bed and held her little hand. When I heard that she was clearly in pain and still saying that my brother doesn't hurt anymore, I said to myself, Li Zian, you can't be such a bastard anymore. Went down.
"My father has fallen, and I must stand up to protect him and my family."
Li Zian raised his hand to cover his eyes and said, "Three years have passed in a flash, and now when I think back to who I was back then, it feels like a lifetime ago."
His tone was pretending to be relaxed, but Shen Tianshu seemed to see the fearful and uneasy young man back then.
She held Li Zian's hand, hoping to comfort him as he comforted her before.
