His already pale face became even more ashen, and his small frame stood guard in front of Fu Lu's tombstone, as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

The only thing that made Xiao Ziwu happy about being thrown into Linhua Palace was that the emperor sent two eunuchs who frequently visited him.
The two were timid by nature and dared not slight Xiao Ziwu, the unfavored prince.
Then Duan Ximu went to the palace to find him. He couldn't stand Xiao Ziwu's indifference when he was bullied, so he decided to teach him martial arts.
We need to improve his physical condition and temper his character, hoping to help him get back on his feet!
However, Xiao Ziwu practiced diligently but never made a move. Whenever he was bullied by Xiao Ziyan, he simply endured it calmly.
Like an empty shell whose soul has been ripped out.
The body is intact, but the soul has decayed, like a walking corpse wandering the world.
Duan Ximu had no other choice but to secretly protect him so that his life would not be in danger.
Until that day, Xiao Ziwu swung his sword recklessly, his eyes filled with a look of dejection. Although it was faint, it gave Duan Ximu a jolt!
He seemed to see a glimmer of hope and was eager to know who was the person who could evoke such emotions in his disciple!

Xiao Ziwu had never felt such a thrill before.
He stood outside the inkstone shop, listening to a soft voice coming from inside, "Twenty taels?"
The once calm lake of my heart was stirred up by a small pebble, creating ripples that seeped into every part of my body.
My legs felt like they were filled with lead, and I couldn't move an inch.
He walked in uncontrollably.
The girl's soft black hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her flawless, small face resembled a peach blossom in spring, breathtakingly beautiful.
When he came to his senses, he had already shouted "Wait!" and his fleeing steps were frozen in place.
That day, he helped her out of a predicament and said more than he had in the entire previous year combined.
He pinched his fingertips hard to calmly answer the girl's question, saying, "No need."
Having said that, he fled back to the palace as if he were fleeing, forgetting even the things he was supposed to do when he left the palace.
He thought he would never see her again.
The thought of this possibility made his heart ache. He didn't understand why, but he kept regretting that he hadn't told her that he lived in the palace that day.
He was also glad that he hadn't told her that he was the third prince who was the laughingstock of the capital.
Otherwise, she might never want to speak to him again...
But such worries did not materialize; she somehow learned of his identity.
They were incredibly audacious enough to climb over the wall to deliver medicine to him!
This is the inner palace. Although Linhua Palace is located in a remote area, it is still guarded by the Imperial Guards. What if we are careless and they mistake her for an assassin and arrest her?!
But looking into the girl's innocent, doe-like eyes, all his words of reproach stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter another word.
Finally, unable to contain his worry, he could only manage to stammer, "Don't do this again next time."
But he regretted it as soon as the words left his mouth; he could even sense the coldness in his tone!
The girl would definitely not be able to stand his attitude and would never speak to him again...
It's none of my business; I have no right to interfere with what she wants to do...
