good season

Chapter 13 The Extra Zhao Xiaosi

Xiao Zhen's voice is not loud, but it is too pleasant to hear.

Zhao Shiqing couldn't help but look at him again. It would have been fine if she didn't look at him, but after looking at him, he looked more like a paper man.

What a pity for such a good voice.

Although she felt regretful, Zhao Shiqing maintained a fake smile on her face. At this moment, she discovered something.

Xiao Zhen didn't seem to want everyone to know that he was Xiao Zhen.

Otherwise, why would he deliberately lower his voice?

Yes, when Xiao Zhen said her name, she deliberately lowered her voice. On Zhao Shiqing's side, only she could hear it. Meng Hu and others who were standing a few feet away probably didn't hear anything.

Zhao Shiqing narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, and she said in a voice that only she and Xiao Zhen could hear: "Mr. Xiao, you have come from afar, what advice do you have for me?"

Xiao Zhen looked into Zhao Shiqing's eyes and said word by word: "I just want to see my father and mother."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, please follow me."

After saying that, Zhao Shiqing turned and walked into the villa.

Xiao Zhen didn't expect that the girl would agree so readily. He was a little uncertain, but followed her anyway.

Jiang Ping stepped forward to stop him: "Sir, be careful, there may be a scam!"

Xiao Zhen shook his head: "I don't have time. I have to go even if it's a trap."

Jiang Ping sighed and was about to follow Xiao Zhen in, and Da Zhuang and others followed closely.

But Zhao Shiqing, who was walking in front, turned around at this time. She looked at them and said with a smile: "I think I will only invite this gentleman in. The rest of you just wait here."

At this point, even the honest Da Zhuang was unhappy: "How can you be like this, girl? We are together, of course we have to go in together."

Zhao Shiqing: "This is my territory. If I say you can't enter, then you can't enter. What, do you want to fight?"

"What if we must go in?" Da Zhuang roared.

As soon as she finished speaking, the little eagle that had been resting on her shoulder suddenly flew into the air and rushed towards Dazhuang like an arrow. Before Dazhuang could draw his sword, the little eagle pecked his shoulder and blood gushed out immediately.

"Little darling, come back!"

Zhao Shiqing gave a tender cry, and the eagle named Xiaoguai flew back and landed on her left shoulder again, like a well-behaved and obedient child.

It all happened so fast that everyone was stunned. They looked at Da Zhuang's injured shoulder, then at the eagle named Xiaoguai, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"This girl released her eagle to hurt someone when she had a disagreement. Is this how you treat guests?" Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice.

Zhao Shiqing thought about what happened from yesterday to today, and said coldly: "If that's the case, then no one should go in. Come on, take these people down!"

At Zhao Shiqing's command, a team of over a hundred guards surrounded Xiao Zhen and his companions, with their swords drawn and flashing cold light.

Zhao Shiqing sneered: "To be honest, this is only 10% of the troops here. Sir, do you want to fight against a thousand alone?"

When Zhao Shiqing came out just now, Zhao Yunnuan had already told Meng Hu that the Royal Guards would temporarily obey her orders. If Xiao Zhen insisted on resisting, Zhao Shiqing really wanted to use her superior numbers to bully the weak.

Xiao Zhen took a deep breath and said to Da Zhuang, Jiang Ping and the other three in a calm tone: "You wait here, I will go in alone."

Zhao Shiqing smiled: "You said so earlier, and now you have met the person you wanted to meet."

Xiao Zhen's heart trembled. This little girl knew that he was eager to see his parents, so she wanted to control him, but it also proved that his parents were still alive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhen no longer hesitated and followed Zhao Shiqing into Wisteria Villa.

It's a long way from the mountain gate to the Observatory where the Princess and her husband are imprisoned. Usually, guests who come here have to take a green oil car to get there. Given the tense situation today, Zhao Shiqing originally planned to walk there, but after taking one look at Xiao Zhen's limping appearance, she decided to take a car.

She and Xiao Zhen took two green oil carriages to the Observatory respectively, and someone had already reported to Zhao Yunnuan that the second lady had gone to the Observatory with the assassin.

Assassin is the identity that everyone has given to Xiao Zhen. Who made him break into the villa today? What else could he be but an assassin?
Zhao Yunnuan jumped on his horse and arrived at the Observatory before them.

Xiao Zhen was sitting in the oil-burning carriage. Hearing the sound of horse hooves, he lifted the curtain and looked out. He saw a heroic woman riding a horse passing in front of the carriage. It was Zhao Yunnuan, whom he had fought today.

Ever since he remembered his past life, Xiao Zhen has regarded Zhao Yunnuan as his number one enemy. But now, he suddenly feels confused. Is this woman really his enemy?

The oil truck stopped outside the Observatory. Xiao Zhen got off and immediately saw Zhao Shiqing who got off in front of him. Who was this girl?

The person standing next to Zhao Shiqing was Zhao Yunnuan. Zhao Shiqing whispered a few words to Zhao Yunnuan, who nodded repeatedly. Then the two of them looked at him together.

Zhao Shiqing said to Xiao Zhen: "The person you want to see is at the top of this building. If you want to see them, go up by yourself. If you don't dare, you can leave now."

The arrow has been drawn, how could Xiao Zhen retreat? Not to mention it's just an observatory, there are mountains of swords and seas of fire before him, he will give it a try!
Xiao Zhen clasped his fists towards the two of them, and without saying a word, he walked up to the observatory.

The Star Observatory is the tallest building in Wisteria Villa and is also a famous scenic spot from the previous dynasty.

After King Liang took control of Liang, he renovated the Observatory and built Zither Villa here, which became a branch of the royal palace.

The Observatory has a total of nine floors, including three floors for the base and six floors for the building. Standing on the top floor, you can look up and see the vast sky and the stars.

A mocking smile appeared on Xiao Zhen's lips. Zhao Yunnuan really knew how to choose a place. He actually turned the Observatory into a prison.

In fact, Xiao Zhen had really misunderstood. Before this morning, the place where Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao were imprisoned was not the Observatory, but an elegant courtyard in Wisteria Villa.

The Princess and her husband were transferred to the Observatory this morning after Xiao Zhen came.

The Observatory is safer than that courtyard.

There were guards at every turn of the stairs in the Observatory. Xiao Zhen walked past them, dragging his still-unhealed body, enduring the pain, and climbing up with difficulty.

Finally, he reached the ninth floor and heard a cry of surprise.

"You are. Big Brother?"

Looking at the face in front of him that looked three parts human and seven parts ghost, Xiao Su was shocked. Oh my God, could it be that his elder brother is dead and turned into a ghost and ran here?

Xiao Zhen was also startled: "Xiao Su? Why is it you?"

The next moment, Xiao Su's eyes were red. Big brother, he is really big brother!

He grabbed Xiao Zhen's hand, which was icy cold, without even a hint of warmth. His elder brother was indeed dead. "Brother, I didn't expect that we would be separated by the Yin and Yang after we last met!"

As Xiao Su spoke, he stretched out his claws to feel Xiao Zhen's breath. Xiao Zhen...
Xiao Zhen opened his hand and said in a deep voice: "I'm not dead, I'm still alive."

Xiao Su: "I don't believe it, let me touch it."

萧真
He stretched out his wrist in front of Xiao Su, and Xiao Su hurriedly felt his pulse. Well, although the pulse was weak, he was definitely not dead, because dead people have no pulse.

Xiao Su hugged Xiao Zhen tightly and said, "Brother, why do you look like a ghost?"

Xiao Zhen pushed him away with disdain and asked, "Why are you here? Have you seen my father and mother?"

Xiao Su wiped the non-existent tears from his face and pulled Xiao Zhen inside: "The princess and uncle are both fine. By the way, brother, why are you here? Have you heard about what happened last night?"

There were only two rooms on the ninth floor. When Xiao Su and Xiao Zhen walked over, Xiao Zhen saw Nanny Bai standing outside the door.

When she was young, Nanny Bai was a maid in the palace. When she grew older, she became the head nanny in the Princess's Mansion and has always been by Princess Jiayi's side.

In her previous life, after Princess Jiayi and her husband died, Nanny Bai hanged herself to follow her master.

At this moment, when Xiao Zhen saw the living Nanny Bai again, his heart suddenly stopped for a beat.

Aunt Bai is still alive, and so is mother and father, they are all still alive!

He didn't bother to greet Nanny Bai, and pushed open the tightly closed door impatiently.
The sudden sound of breaking the door broke the silence in the room. Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao, who were dozing with their eyes closed, were startled. They both opened their eyes and looked towards the door.

Princess Jiayi: "Brother Yan, do you think this person looks a bit like Ah Zhen?"

Prince Consort Xiao: "How can they be similar? Not at all. Ah Zhen loves cleanliness the most. When has she ever been so sloppy?"

Princess Jiayi: "Yes, so who is this person?"

萧真
Who is he?
Where is he?

At this moment, shouldn’t the father and son, and the mother and son, hug each other and cry?

"Dad, Mom, it's great that you are still alive."

Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao looked at each other, then sighed together: "He really is our son."

But the next moment, Princess Jiayi jumped up from her chair, rushed to Xiao Zhen, grabbed his shoulders and looked him up and down: "My son, how did you become like this? Ah Bai, Ah Bai, go get a doctor!"

Looking at his mother in front of him with tears streaming down her face and her makeup smudged, Xiao Zhen suddenly smiled. Yes, this willful, pretentious, but kind, strong and righteous woman was his mother, Princess Jiayi.

It was not an afterimage in a portrait, nor was it an illusion in his dream, but a real person with flesh and blood.

"Mom, I'm fine now. My injuries have healed. There's no need to see a doctor. I have medicine with me." Xiao Zhen said softly, helping Princess Jiayi sit back in her chair.

Prince Consort Xiao looked at his son and asked in a deep voice, "Ah Zhen, shouldn't you be in the palace? What happened?"

Seeing his parents, Xiao Zhen finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in the balance for many days. They were still alive, that was great. He finally changed another thing.

He calmed himself down and started talking from the time when the Fourth Prince invited him to go hunting in Shiji Mountain, all the way to when he just met Zhao Yunnuan and a strange little girl downstairs.

Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao listened to their sons' stories about their experiences during the past few days. They felt regretful and annoyed. They regretted not secretly taking their two sons with them out of the capital, and they were angry that those people not only harmed them but also wanted to wipe out the roots.

At some point, Xiao Su had also stood aside. He opened his mouth in surprise and said after a long while, "Brother, you were almost killed, as were I. If it weren't for Zhao Xiaosi, I, your brother, would be dead now."

Just now, he didn't want to worry the Princess and Prince Consort Xiao, so he didn't tell them what happened on the way here.

Hearing Xiao Zhen talking about a strange little girl, he quickly corrected: "I know who the monster you are talking about is, it's Zhao Xiaosi, Zhao Shiqing, she is the second lady of the Liang Palace."

Princess Jiayi said angrily, "Ah Zhen, the second young lady of the Liang Palace is our savior. If it weren't for her sharp eyes last night, you would have come to collect the bodies of me and your father."

Prince Consort Xiao hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense, it's unlucky."

Princess Jiayi snorted coldly: "We are about to lose our lives, and you still care about whether it is auspicious or not?"

Xiao Zhen's heart was moved. The second young lady of the Liang Palace, Zhao Xiaosi? Lifesaver?

"Mom, what happened last night?"

Princess Jiayi then told the story of how an assassin disguised himself as a servant and sneaked into the villa last night, attempting to poison the noodles, but was discovered by Zhao Shiqing.

In fact, Princess Jiayi didn't know about this when it happened. Last night, there was a sudden panic in the villa. Nanny Bai went out to inquire and found out that an assassin had sneaked into the villa. Not long after, a guard came to inform her that the assassin had been brought to justice and told the princess not to worry.

It was not until this morning when Zhao Yunnuan came to visit them that Princess Jiayi and Prince Consort Xiao knew what had happened last night.

Speaking of this, Princess Jiayi felt a surge of fear. It was just a little bit and their family would be separated forever.

Xiao Zhen felt like he was struck by lightning!
Could it be that in the previous life, there was also an assassin disguised as a servant?

His parents died at the hands of that assassin, who poisoned their food. Yes, he later found out that his parents did die of poisoning.

The difference is that in the previous life, everyone believed that it was the Liang Palace that sent people to assassinate them.

Someone as noble as the eldest princess cannot be killed openly with a gun or a sword, so she can only be assassinated, letting them die silently and taking away all the grievances and unwillingness.

In his previous life, he clearly remembered that King Liang had only three children, and there was no so-called Zhao Xiaosi.

But in this life, it was this Zhao Xiaosi, who should not exist, who saved his parents!
No, Zhao Xiaosi not only saved his parents, but also saved Xiao Su.

In his previous life, Xiao Su died on the way to Liangdu. There is irrefutable evidence that his murderer was someone from the Liang Palace.

So, in this life, because of the existence of Zhao Shiqing, his parents and cousin all survived.

Seeing Xiao Zhen in a daze, Princess Jiayi was shocked. Could it be that her grown son had fallen off a cliff and injured his brain?

"Ah Zhen, Ah Zhen, are you okay? Do you know who I am?" Princess Jiayi looked at her eagerly.

Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly: "You are my mother, of course I know. I was just wondering why King Liang suddenly had a daughter."

Xiao Su hurriedly said, "If you don't understand something, just ask me. Zhao Xiaosi and I are sworn enemies. I know everything about her. She is not the biological daughter of King Liang. She was rescued by King Liang from the kidnapper. She is an adopted daughter, so she is the second lady, not the little princess."

　Unexpectedly, Princess Jiayi is not a noble and cold princess. She is a troublemaker at heart. It's a pity that she died early in her previous life and didn't have the opportunity to show her talent.
