Whether it was because he was too tired or because there was someone close to him around him, Xiao Ning'an quickly fell asleep.
This time, I felt really sleepy.
As everyone knows, Lin Zhaozhao couldn't sleep that night.
In the darkness, she stared at the tent ceiling with her eyes open, her mind turning over and over again.
She knew that Xiao Ning'an would not lie to her.
And this secret may change the rest of her life.
Originally, she was already in dire straits.
The emperor couldn't stick to it, but the regent looked down upon him.
But now, it seemed like the sky was bright and the road was clearly laid out in front of her.
She can take this secret and go to the emperor to ask him to give her a position.
You can also take this secret and ask the regent to marry her.
Humph, she still doesn’t know which of the two choices is better or worse.
Let’s take a look first, there’s no rush anyway.
Because he had confidence in his heart, Lin Zhaozhao felt at ease.
Taking advantage of the reason for his leg injury, he can rest assured that he can recover from his injuries in the palace.
Xiao Ning'an provided delicious food, drink and fun all day long, and it was really like a fairy's life.
Of course, all of this was broken after seeing the closeness between Xiao Jingze and Su Jinxiu.
The day after tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, and everyone in the palace is busy non-stop.
It was rare that it was sunny today. Xiao Ning'an was thinking that Lin Zhaozhao had been lying in the dormitory for so long, fearing that she would find it boring.
He asked people to prepare refreshments and took Lin Zhaozhao to the Star Observation Tower.
The Star Observation Tower is the tallest building in the palace, with Mount Di at its back and Cangshui River in front.
From a high position, you can take in most of the scenery in the palace.
The sky is sunny today, the ice and snow have melted, and the beautiful scenery of the palace gradually reveals its true appearance in the snow, which is very moving.
Although it is sunny, it is still a bit cold.
Xiao Ning'an held the heater and asked the eunuch to carry Lin Zhaozhao into the house.
"Zhaozhao, let's spend some time here today.
In the past, I always liked going to Zhaixing Tower when I had nothing to do.
Because you can see both the palace and the outside of the palace from here.
Look, does it look good?"
Xiao Ning'an is like a child, sharing everything that feels good to his good friends.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhaozhao didn't buy it.
She was uninterested and looked around.
"It's too high here and a little cold.
It is not as beautiful as the Imperial Garden, nor is it as lively as outside the palace.
Concubine Xian won’t come to a place like Zhaixing Tower?”
Xiao Ning'an curled her lips, disapprovingly, picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Lin Zhaozhao.
"This Star-Zhaing Tower was built by the emperor's grandfather back then to make that man happy.
However, before the Star Building was completed, that person fell out of favor.
Later, when my father ascended the throne, he felt that money should not be wasted in such a place, so he left the Star-Zhaing Tower alone.
I wanted to demolish it several times, but I put it on hold because of other things.
After my royal brother ascends the throne, we will speed up the completion of the project.
I built this star-catching building to make Concubine Xian happy.
But Concubine Xian thought this place was unlucky, so she never came again after visiting it once.
This land became idle.
Except for me who comes here occasionally, no one comes.
Don’t worry, we’ll be very quiet here and no one will disturb us.”
Lin Zhaozhao originally wanted to use Concubine Xian as an excuse to ask Xiao Ning'an to go back with her.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Ning'an misunderstood her meaning.
She didn't want to stay here. If she had the time, why not go to the Imperial Garden and see if she could meet the Emperor or the Regent?
Because he was bored, Lin Zhaozhao was too lazy to talk too much.
Xiao Ning'an just thought that she was not well yet, so she didn't say anything and just sat there obediently.
There was a moment of silence, but the movement outside seemed particularly obvious.
"It's right here, right here. Last time I came with Master Ajin to fetch water.
I found that there are a lot of fish here, you stay there and I will catch the fish."
Su Jinxiu's excited voice came, and Lin Zhaozhao sat up suddenly.
Xiao Ning'an also heard it and frowned and called the eunuch.
"What is she here for? You go..."
"Wait, don't make any sound."
Lin Zhaozhao interrupted Xiao Ning'an and looked up.
By the Cangshui River, the river is gurgling.
On the snow that has not yet melted, a red figure is particularly eye-catching.
She was wearing a red dress and running to the river.
Smart, like a dancing flame.
Not far behind her, Xiao Jingze, dressed in black, followed.
The living King of Hell, who is usually cold and unkind, now has a gentle and caring look even from his back.
Although I couldn't see his expression clearly, I could guess how indulgent he looked at this moment.
"Ah Jin, slow down, don't fall."
Just because he accidentally mentioned last night that when he was very hungry when he was young, he would run to the river to catch fish in the middle of winter.
But the ice was so thick that he broke his metacarpal bones and couldn't catch a fish.
In the end, he was so hungry that he had no choice but to lick the broken ice stained with his own blood to stay alive.
In the palace at that time, his life was worse than that of a dog.
At least, the dogs raised by the owners still have bone soup and rice to eat.
He couldn't even catch the scraps, and he was so hungry that he dug out mouse holes and ate them.
His mother hated him and would hold him and cry bitterly when she was awake.
When he is not awake, he will beat him to vent his anger.
He didn't know the reason at that time, so he could only suffer from it all his life.
Father, no, you shouldn’t be called Father.
Emperor Rui knew that he was not his own flesh and blood, and wished he could cut him into pieces.
This was to erase the stigma of him robbing his wife, out of fear of being executed at will.
It causes others to bring up old things again and brings shame on oneself.
Therefore, we can only let him live.
He acquiesced in allowing anyone in the palace to bully him and torture him.
I thought he would lose his life soon, but I didn't expect that he would die.
I have been living by relying on the leftovers I picked up and Mr. Ajin’s help.
But Master Ajin is just a slave. If you are lucky, you can save yourself from stuttering, but if you are unlucky, you will be punished.
When Mr. Ajin was punished, he had to find food for Mr. Ajin.
He wanted Master Ajin to be alive because he was the only person in the palace who was kind to him.
Those dark pasts are not worth mentioning in his life.
Therefore, I just treat it as a story and tell it to Ah Jin.
Unexpectedly, Ah Jin burst into tears after hearing this.
I hugged him and even said he was suffering.
Even his rude request to sleep together at night, Ah Jin readily agreed.
On a cold winter night, he held Ah Jin in his arms and felt a fire burning in his heart.
Ah Jin didn't know it, so he got up early in the morning and happily took him to the river, saying that he would catch fish for him.
He also said that what he lacked in the past would be supplied to him one by one in the future.
At that moment, Xiao Jingze nodded in acquiescence.
Just as she was thinking about it, Su Jinxiu suddenly exclaimed, then picked up a big fish and shouted happily to Xiao Jingze.
"Ajiu, look, I caught a big fish.
You hurry up and make a fire, and I'll grill fish for you."
Under the sunlight, that vivid red color danced so enthusiastically.
Xiao Jingze seemed to have a glimpse of his own heart, illuminated, ignited, and burned by the red light.
He remembered the popular description of him, Evil Ghost Shura.
Yes, he is an evil ghost.
At this moment, he greedily wanted to eat away at everything A Jin had.
Body and mind, bones and blood, spirit and flesh.
I want them all, and I don’t want to let go of them at all.
