At dawn, Emperor Xiao Ping finally couldn't hold on any longer, and he fell into a deep sleep with his forehead against the wall.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside. The warm morning sun shone on him through the window.
There was still a pleasant aroma in the air, fresh and warm.
Emperor Xiao Ping turned to look at the woman and found that the kang was clean and there was no trace of the woman. The bedding the woman had slept on was neatly folded and placed in the corner.
The woman's injuries haven't healed yet. Could it be that she just left without saying goodbye?
Emperor Xiao Ping frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt panic and loss in his heart.
He stood up and wanted to go out to look for her. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the woman standing in the middle of the yard with a beautiful smile.
Her hair was uncombed, and her long black hair flowed like a waterfall, dancing gently with her movements.
She was still wearing Mrs. Lin's clothes, which were loose on her well-proportioned body. When she lifted her arms slightly, she could see her jade-white skin underneath.
She had tightened the collar of her clothes, but it still couldn't cover her soft and fair neck. The collarbone below her neck was as slender as a butterfly's wings, beautiful as a well-made handicraft, making people want to reach out and touch it, and rub and play with it in their palms.
Emperor Xiao Ping was slightly stunned, and only after a moment did he move his gaze away from the woman. Then, his pupils suddenly shrank.
What did he see?
The one playing with the woman is... Da Mi!
His heart felt like it had been hit hard and suddenly hurt.
However, he has always been rational and recovered from the shock in just a moment.
That's not Da Mi, it's just a cat that looks very similar to Da Mi.
Emperor Xiao Ping knew that it was not Da Mi, but he still walked over involuntarily and picked up the cat.
The cat in his arms looks very similar to Damiao, with a tortoiseshell coat, like golden spots scattered on the black glaze, beautiful as the sun.
It has a gentle temperament and does not scratch anyone when held in Emperor Xiao Ping's arms. Instead, it rubs against his sleeves affectionately and purrs.
"I also had a cat when I was a child. It was my best friend, but unfortunately I failed to protect it."
Emperor Xiao Ping spoke in a calm voice, with his head lowered, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, and his slender fingers stroked the cat in his arms again and again.
Da Mi is a memory he has always avoided because it is too painful.
He didn't expect that after so many years, he would be able to recall it calmly and tell a stranger about that deep and painful memory.
However, he would not reveal his identity to the woman. He described those princes as children from the neighborhood.
Those people hurt his Da Mi. Even though they have the same father and are related to him by blood, they are not worthy of being his brothers!
Although Su Wanti had read about the experience of Xiao Pingdi and Da Mi with the help of the system, her eyes still turned red after listening to him.
At this moment, she tilted her head slightly, her almond-shaped eyes filled with tears, her nose and cheeks were red from holding back her tears, her cherry lips were tightly pursed, she looked weak and kind.
She sniffed, her voice trembling slightly as she reached out her bare hand to touch the cat's head. "Sir, this isn't your fault. You were still young then and didn't have the ability to protect it. But now you've mastered martial arts, and you can protect anyone you want!"
In fact, when the killer attacked the two of them yesterday, seeing how ruthlessly Xiao Pingdi killed people, Su Wanti realized that he was two-faced.
Although Emperor Xiao Ping appears to be a kind, selfless, and pure-hearted emperor, he is not like that in his heart.
He has deep internal strength and excellent martial arts skills, which can only be achieved through decades of hard training. A casual person cannot persist in hard training for decades.
Moreover, when he faced the enemy, he would strike with his sword, draw blood, and kill with one blow. This kind of ruthlessness and efficiency is not something a kind person can do.
In fact, he is an ambitious and aspiring person, but the cruel living environment since childhood forced him to hide his true self. Over time, he thought that the gentleness, humility, tranquility and indifference he showed for survival were his true nature.
I hope this cat that looks like Dammi can guide him out of his childhood difficulties, help him break down years of disguise, and face his true self.
Emperor Xiao Ping looked at the woman in front of him with a gloomy look in his eyes.
When she blocked the knife for herself yesterday, she was just like Da Mi in the past, weak but determined.
The moment she fell, he was extremely panicked, thinking that history would repeat itself...
Fortunately, he saved her.
Yes, he saved her, he could save her.
Decades have passed, and he is no longer that helpless child. Now he has not only mastered powerful martial arts, but also become the emperor, possessing the supreme power in the world!
Now, he can protect the people he cherishes, display his talents, and do whatever he wants!
No longer have to worry about being envied or suppressed!
There seemed to be a fire in Emperor Xiao Ping's eyes, and his heart suddenly felt like something was shattered.
The kitten squinted its eyes and purred comfortably. Su Wanti touched its little head, looked at it, and then looked up at Emperor Xiao Ping.
Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she spoke softly, "Young Master, you have an extraordinary appearance and a transcendent temperament. Your martial arts skills are truly superb and invincible. From the moment you rescued me, I've been thinking that those unique and one-of-a-kind characters in operas should be like you."
Her cheeks were a little red, like peach blossoms in spring, and her eyes were full of admiration and respect.
The woman seemed to be shy and quickly lowered her head, turning it away. After a slight pause, she said, "Young Master, you are powerful now. You should do things that match your abilities. You must not let your current abilities go to waste. You should not be bound by the past and tie your own hands and feet."
The woman's words were like a pool of warm spring water, flowing into Xiao Pingdi's just-broken heart.
He felt a strange feeling in his heart and looked at the woman with a burning gaze.
The woman turned her head to look at the ground, and the man looked at her. Both of them were touching the cat, but neither of them looked at the cat. After a while, their hands touched each other.
Su Wanti's cheeks flushed, as if she had touched a flame, and she quickly took her hand away. However, Emperor Xiao Ping did not dodge, but stretched out his big hand and immediately held the woman's dodging hand.
The white, tender and smooth hand was held in his big hand. He felt that this hand was like a cat's paw, tickling his heart.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
At this moment, she didn't know her own identity, and there was admiration and respect in her eyes when she looked at herself.
And he was also attracted by her gentleness and understanding.
In this mountain village, they are like the most ordinary men and women in the world, they have feelings for each other, are clean and pure, have no ambition for fame, and are not involved in any interests of the previous dynasty.
"Oh! You two young couple have such a great relationship!" Mrs. Lin came back from working in her fields and saw the two shaking hands. She smiled and joked.
Su Wanti quickly pulled her hand out shyly.
At this time, the three brothers of the Lin family also came back from outside. They felt something was wrong as soon as they got home.
Emperor Xiao Ping frowned, he also realized that something was wrong. Suddenly, there were many strange people around.
