Chapter 80 He was the one who did the evil, but he was also the one who felt the most wronged.
This is not the way back to the palace.
Chen Zhejiang could vaguely judge in the wind and snow.
Just as Shen Zhejiang thought, Xiao Zhinian, who originally wanted to keep him locked up in Yanqing Palace, changed his mind for some unknown reason halfway through.
When the horse galloped through the open city gate, he realized that Xiao Zhinian was going to take him away from the capital.
Where to go?
Xiao Zhinian didn't say anything and remained silent all the way until they stopped in front of a row of wooden fences.
Shen Zhejiang reluctantly raised his eyes to look, and it turned out to be a farm. He felt that it looked familiar, but he heard Xiao Zhinian say in his ear.
"Sir, do you still remember this place? You loved the berries planted here the most," Xiao Zhinian hugged Shen Zhejiang and got off the horse. He still held him and walked towards the brightly lit house. "In the three years since you left Beijing, I spent a lot of money to buy this piece of land. Every spring when the grass and trees grow, I look at the ripe fruits and miss you, sir."
Shen Zhejiang knew that he couldn't break free from him, so he simply stopped moving and just listened to Xiao Zhinian talking about these old stories.
Xiao Zhinian said, "I was thinking of bringing you here next year to reminisce about the past. You see, the shed over there has been built and is planted with grapes. There are also some miscellaneous flower trees planted over there, but they haven't bloomed yet. It's a pity that I can't wait any longer."
"......"
"As for that, I haven't made up my mind yet, so I'll let you make the decision, sir."
The outline of the wooden house gradually became clear. Shen Zhejiang looked in the direction he pointed and saw a wooden shed not far away. It was very sturdy and was not blown by the night wind.
"Sir, you don't want to return to the palace. Fine, I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you will never leave for the rest of your life."
It was clearly a statement of love, but for some reason, Shen Zhejiang felt frightened when he heard it. He felt as if once he entered, he would never see the light of day again and would become a plaything raised by others.
Xiao Zhinian pushed open the wooden door, and the wind stopped suddenly, but the sudden warmth gave Shen Zhejiang goose bumps.
Xiao Zhinian glanced around the room, and finally walked to the bedside and put Shen Zhejiang down. He said nothing, his eyes staring at Shen Zhejiang deeply, and fixed on his snow-covered hair.
So, Xiao Zhinian raised his hand to touch Shen Zhejiang, but before he could touch him, Shen Zhejiang dodged to the inside. This rejection reaction made Xiao Zhinian sad.
The fingertips paused in mid-air.
Why avoid him...
He can endure beatings or scolding, so why does he have to hide?
"Sir, what do you want me to do?"
He even lowered himself and asked Shen Zhejiang in a pitiful tone.
"...let me go."
Although he knew that Xiao Zhinian would not do that, Shen Zhejiang still said it stubbornly, as if he was determined to oppose Xiao Zhinian to the end.
Xiao Zhinian's chest was heaving with anger. He ran out of the door, but came back quickly with a hemp rope two fingers thick in his hand.
Shen Zhejiang was shocked.
What is he going to do?
Before he could think deeply, Xiao Zhinian suddenly pulled his wrist. Shen Zhejiang's eyes widened. He realized what Xiao Zhinian was thinking and pulled his hand back.
"Xiao Zhinian!"
But the other party looked at him without reducing his strength at all, and even squeezed harder because of his struggle, as if to crush his bones.
Xiao Zhinian quickly circled Shen Zhejiang's wrist, and almost at the same time, he caught the hand that was about to slap him, and tied them together. Even though Shen Zhejiang screamed, he still showed no mercy.
"Are you going to tie me up like a pet? Xiao Zhinian! Let me go!"
"Sir, you are disobedient, so I have no choice but to do this," Xiao Zhinian said in a low and hoarse voice, "I can agree to everything you ask for, except this one. If you make me angry again, don't blame me..."
What can I do?
What should he do? He just didn't want Shen Zhejiang to leave him. Was he wrong? !
However, Shen Zhejiang was also so angry that he glared at him: "You think you can lock me up like this, Xiao Zhinian? I am older than you and your elder. Aren't you afraid of what you are doing..."
"What are you afraid of?" Xiao Zhinian interrupted him, "I'm not afraid of anything. You just scold me for bullying my teacher and calling me an unforgivable tyrant. So what? I don't care. At worst, if the country of Yan is destroyed in my hands one day, I will die with you!"
Shen Zhejiang stared at him blankly for a long time, but couldn't utter a word.
It’s not that simple.
Xiao Zhinian didn't know the truth, and didn't know that their relationship was intolerable and would be despised by others.
Just then, a doubtful voice was heard in the house.
"His Majesty?"
Shen Zhejiang felt that it sounded very familiar, as if it was... Huaiwen? !
When Shen Zhejiang was executed, Huaiwen was displaced and had nowhere to go. He moved to many places. Later, Xiao Zhinian ran into him accidentally when he was out and settled him in this manor to take care of it.
Huaiwen lived next to the wooden house. When he heard the noise, he thought someone was robbed. He picked up a wooden stick and came over to take a look. Surprisingly, he saw that it was the emperor.
It's no wonder that he was so surprised. Xiao Zhinian would only come here in the spring, and there seemed to be more than one Xiao Zhinian in the room at this time.
Huaiwen poked his head out and looked towards the bed, and was stunned.
"Master Shen?!"
But didn’t Lord Shen already...what’s going on? !
Xiao Zhinian turned sideways, completely blocking Shen Zhejiang behind him, and shouted, "Get out!"
Huaiwen was frightened by his sudden rage and screamed "Ah". He quickly retreated before he could say a few words to Shen Zhejiang.
Xiao Zhinian went back to the bed, tied the hemp rope to the head of the bed, thought about it, and tied a knot.
After doing all this, he returned his gaze to Shen Zhejiang's face, leaned over, and calmed down a little: "Huai Wen has been here all the time. He used to serve you. You should get used to it. If you behave better after a while, I will untie you, okay?"
Xiao Zhinian used a negotiating tone.
In fact, he did not want to make things so awkward between him and Shen Zhejiang. Now that Han Zitang had left for Qingzhou and no one else would disturb them, it would be better to ease the tension.
Shen Zhejiang said coldly: "Then you will tie me up for life."
Xiao Zhinian's emotions, which had finally calmed down, were easily disturbed by Shen Zhejiang. His eyes darkened slightly, and without saying a word, he pinched Shen Zhejiang's chin and bit it.
Shen Zhejiang's whole body was resisting, trying to dodge, but it was still useless. The back of his head was pressed viciously, and the air in his lungs was almost snatched away by such a kiss.
Rather than calling it a kiss, it was more like Xiao Zhinian's punishment to him. It was more brutal than any other time before, with no gentleness left, as if he wanted to eat Shen Zhejiang alive.
Xiao Zhinian stubbornly entangled with Shen Zhejiang. The sound of water was fierce, but he could not feel any pleasure or happiness. He even felt endless bitterness.
Obviously he was the one who did the evil, but he was also the one who felt the most aggrieved.
Chen Zhejiang, ah Shen Zhejiang, what should I do with you.
