Chapter Seventy-Two
When night fell, a silver-white full moon quietly revealed its lonely figure in the treetops, reflecting the thin coolness of the ground.
Yao Qian sat quietly on the roof of the inn, holding his chin with both hands and looking up at the stars in the distance, today's moonlight is very bright, but the stars are pitiful.
The cold wind blew over, and the pedestrians on the street wrapped their jackets tightly and hurried towards their homes quickly, but Yao Qian, who was sitting on the eaves, was unaware.
The cold wind penetrated through the thin dress, in fact, she also felt cold, such a cold she had not encountered for a long time.
I remember that the winter was even colder than tonight, and it was snowing like goose feathers, and she cowered in the corner like a stray kitten, begging pitifully from the passers-by, but none of them stopped to look at her.
The biting cold wind hit her and she was about to lose the consciousness of survival, she was cold and hungry at that time, and she really felt that she was likely to freeze to death on the street.
It was at that time that he appeared beside her like a fairy, and when the warm and soft white fox fur was draped over her body, she felt that her whole body was burning, which was warm like never before.
"What's your name?" His voice is just like his appearance, and it sounds so good that it makes people's hearts move.
She shook her head a little confused: "I don't have a name." β
He frowned, staring for a long time at the rose leaf on her forehead, the only decoration she had on her body. Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "The light blue eyebrows are about long and thin, and the crimson thorns are short and β‘β‘." From now on you will be called ...... It's shallow. β
She looked up at him in some consternation, shallow? Did he get her a name?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard him say softly: "From now on, you follow me, so that you won't be cold or hungry, okay?" β
"Okay." She nodded her head almost without thinking, for fear that if she hesitated, he would retract what she had just said.
In this way, she entered the Zhaowang Mansion and became his guard step by step.
From the moment he took her away, she swore to herself that she would protect him for the rest of her life, even if she was injured. For so many years, as long as he needed it, she would desperately get it back for him.
But this time, does she really have to support him as before? She didn't know, she really didn't.
King Zhao stood quietly behind her in an ink-colored mink fur, looking at the thin back, he was in a trance for a moment, and even had a trace of imperceptible heartache.
She was his bodyguard, but she was also his friend, his confidant. After Yaoyao left in the previous life, in those long and lonely years, if there was no her, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.
But he never understood why he died at her hands in the last life. And why did she show such a desperate look after his death.
Shallow, shallow, who are you?.
"Why are you sitting here alone?" After a long time, King Zhao finally took the initiative to open his mouth, walked up to him, and sat down beside Yao Qian.
Yao Qian came back to his senses in some astonishment, glanced at the man next to him and looked up at the stars in the night sky: "I just feel that I haven't experienced such a quiet night for a long time." β
"yes, it's been a long time. Since entering the Zhaowang Mansion, I have always asked you to work hard, and I have never given you any happy days. β
Yao Qian shook his head: "No, in fact, the days in King Zhao's Mansion have always been happy, if there is no His Highness, how can he be shallow now?" The subordinates have always remembered His Highness's great kindness, and in this life and this life, they will never forget it. β
With a firm gaze in Yao Qian's sincerity, King Zhao avoided it a little unnaturally, and couldn't help but put his right fist to his mouth and coughed dryly: "You have done enough for me over the years, and you don't have to work so hard for yourself in the future." β
Yao Qian's face was slightly stunned, and then he smiled mockingly: "Yes, there will be someone to take care of His Highness in the future, and there will be no subordinates anymore." β
Seeing the loneliness in her eyes, King Zhao suddenly felt that there were many words in his throat, but he didn't know what to say. From the previous life to this life, how could he not understand her mind? However, one of his hearts had already been given to Yaoyao, and he couldn't tolerate anyone anymore.
"Shallow, you are a good girl, when the world is decided, this king will definitely promise you a good family."
Yao Qian looked at him in a daze for a long time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Does Your Highness want to get rid of me like this now?" β
"That's not what the king meant." For Yao Qian's misunderstanding, King Zhao was inexplicably flustered, "I just, I hope you can be happy." β
"Happiness?" Yao Qian looked up at the endless darkness above the sky, and murmured to himself, "But you don't know what happiness I want at all." β
Yao Qian said and turned his head to look at King Zhao beside him: "I don't have a family, I don't even know who I am, in this world, the only person I feel kind about is His Royal Highness." I have never wished for anything but to be by His Highness's side forever, nothing more. β
Looking at the sincerity in Yao Qian's eyes without any impurities, King Zhao's doubts in his heart were even worse.
This kind of Yao Qian is different from the shallow in the late last life, and now she has firmness, tenderness, and gratitude in her eyes, but she has never hated.
Is she hiding it too well, or is she really not knowing anything now, and just sees him as a lifesaver?
He didn't know what Yao Qian's family had with the royal family, but before she died in the previous life, the hatred and pain in her eyes were so obvious, and it would definitely not be easy to think about it.
When he found out that he had been reborn before, he secretly sent Yue Tai to secretly investigate the shallow background, but after so much time, nothing was found.
So, who in the previous life sued sΓΉ shallow what, and she aroused the hatred in her heart, and did not hesitate to die with him, losing both?
The moon in the sky disappeared without a trace, and the crystal snowflakes danced and circled along the cold wind.
King Zhao took off his mink fur and draped it on Yao Qian's body, Yao Qian was so frightened that he was about to take it off in a hurry, but he was stopped by King Zhao: "Put it on, the roof is windy." β
Yao Qian's heart slightly rippled with a touch of unpredictable affection, pursed his lips and did not speak. He hadn't been so concerned about himself for a long time, really for a long time, for a long time.
