"That was the first time I had a knife held to my neck. I was so scared that I couldn't speak and was shaking all over."

Jing Li asked nervously, "What happened next?"

"Later, my father's shadow guards arrived and killed the man, leaving me unharmed," Qin Zhao said. "Since then, I've started training my own shadow guards and learned some self-defense skills."

His tone was light when he retold it, but Jing Li could imagine how scared a child under ten years old must be when he experienced all this.

As if noticing that Jing Li was a little upset, Qin Zhao comforted him, "So I'm used to it now. Over the years, too many people have tried to kill me, both overtly and covertly. If I hadn't been more cautious, how could I have survived?"

Jing Li did not continue to be sad, and half-jokingly said: "You said you were cautious, but you didn't know when you were poisoned. I really don't understand. You have so many guards around you, and you were not in the capital at that time, how could someone poison you?" Miaomiao said

"Who knows?" Qin Zhao said cryptically.

Qin Zhao and Jing Li had discussed this matter many times, but they could never find the answer.

The Shen Huan powder he'd taken back then wasn't a poison, so even if he had guards around to test for it, they wouldn't have found anything wrong. But his symptoms could only be caused by a large amount of Shen Huan, so how could he have taken so much of the drug without even realizing it?

If this is not the case, then he could only have been drugged for a long time.

But he never showed any symptoms of addiction to Shen Huan San.

I'm afraid this matter can only be solved after they find the real culprit.

Qin Zhao didn't think about it anymore and continued to coax his young husband: "I said this just to tell you that it's okay to be afraid. You've been much braver than I was back then. There's no need to think too much."

"I know." Jing Li paused for a moment before speaking the truth, "I'm actually a little scared."

This was the first time Jing Li encountered such a thing. No matter how much mental preparation he made beforehand, it could not overcome the panic and fear he felt when he encountered it.

Besides, the little fish was still by his side at that time.

Qin Zhao tilted his head and kissed Jing Li lightly on the lips: "So didn't I come here to comfort you? Don't worry, whether it's true or not, I won't let this happen again."

The kiss was so quick and light that Jing Li was still unsatisfied and whispered, "Not enough."

"What?"

"Your consolation doesn't seem very sincere." Jing Li's eyes were a little vague, "It's too casual."

Qin Zhao understood, and hugged the person in his arms and kissed him deeply.

After a moment, Jing Li pushed him away: "Okay."

He was a little out of breath and tilted his head. His ears and cheeks were all stained with a faint red. "Go and rest quickly. It will be troublesome if you wake up the little fish."

Qin Zhao's breathing was slightly hot, and he sighed with lingering regret: "Every time at this time, I feel that the little guy on the bed is really an eyesore."

It's inconvenient to do anything.

After saying that, he raised his eyes and met a pair of big round, dark eyes.

Most of the little fish cub's face was wrapped in the quilt, with only a pair of eyes exposed. He blinked blankly and innocently, and no one knew how long he had been looking.

Qin Zhao: "..."

What's going on? Weren't you closing your eyes just now?

Jing Li's voice trembled: "W-why are you awake? Daddy and Grandfather were just... talking about something serious. How much did you hear?"

The little fish cub said happily, "I heard everything."

Jing Li: “…”
