Chapter 68 Gods Actually Have Regrets Too
Zhao Siyuan tried to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shaking slightly. After a moment, he couldn't help it anymore and turned around.
The next second, shocking laughter erupted in the carriage.
Zhao Siyuan rolled over with laughter, nearly fainting. Seeing this, Xihe was frightened and quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
"Fourth sister, why are you laughing like that?"
Zhao Siyuan took two sips of tea from the cup, but his heart was extremely excited. A few faint laughs emerged from his throat and he almost choked.
"Silly girl, well done!" Zhao Siyuan's attitude suddenly changed 80 degrees, and he wanted to hug Xihe and kiss her fiercely. "Remember, the Ninth Prince is family, and you can only treat him as a family member."
Xihe nodded in confusion, "That's right, sister, why do you emphasize it again?"
Zhao Siyuan leaned lazily on the cushion behind him with a cup of tea, smiling without saying a word.
What a good family member!
If Xiao Mingxuan knew this, he would probably be furious, right?
When Zhao Siyuan thought of the other party's jumping expression, he raised his head with satisfaction and drank it all in one gulp.
It’s best to be angry to death!
*
Although he knew that Xihe had no feelings for Xiao Mingxuan, Zhao Siyuan still kept her in his carriage and guarded her strictly, as if he regarded Xiao Mingxuan as a terrible plague and would not let her get close at all.
"Fifth Brother, I'm here."
Zhao Zizhe took his eyes off the book and looked at the little girl climbing onto the carriage with a smile.
Although Xihe was six years old, she was still short. Zhao Zizhe's carriage had been modified due to his leg injury, making it much taller than ordinary carriages. The little girl had to use both hands to reach it.
"Slow down, hold my hand." Zhao Zize's lower body was still unable to move. He could only use the strength of his arms to move his body slightly and extend one hand.
With the help of Zhao Zize, the little girl finally climbed up.
"I'm up! Isn't it great!" The little girl was still panting, but a bright smile was on her face.
Just like the bright sunshine in March, gentle and soft.
"Excellent!" Zhao Zizhe bent down slightly and brushed the dust off the girl's skirt. He added, "Don't rush to give me acupuncture. We can still have time to do it when we get to Jiangnan. I can handle this little bit of pain."
Since Xihe figured out the crux of the problem, she gave Zhao Zize acupuncture every five days.
After two or three times, he could already feel a slight pain in his legs, and the pain would disappear for a while after another acupuncture treatment.
"But Xihe doesn't want the fifth brother to feel pain. It's so painful." The little girl took off her cloak, took out the needle bag and prepared to start acupuncture.
This set of skills was extremely troublesome, but Xihe was oblivious to it. Her small face was expressionless, and her focused look made her look like an adult.
"Okay~" Zhao Zize smiled helplessly, but his eyes were filled with gratitude.
He is not the kind of person who cannot bear pain, but it seems to feel good to be pampered.
After a set of acupuncture, Zhao Zizhe felt the heaviness between his legs eased a little.
This set of acupuncture techniques is extremely energy-consuming. Xihe breathed a sigh of relief, leaned against the inner wall, and closed his eyes to rest.
Zhao Zize's eyes were filled with heartache but he couldn't do anything to help, so he could only twist the cloak for the little girl.
Xihe recovered quickly, and was full of energy again in just a cup of tea. She didn't leave, but kept circling around Zhao Zize, looking left and right.
"Fifth Brother, is this... a mechanical device?"
There was some surprise in Zhao Zizhe's eyes, "Does Xihe also understand mechanical engineering?"
This sister has many secrets, but he has no intention of exploring them.
"I've seen a little bit." The little girl was a little embarrassed, but her eyes did not move away from the tree. "Xihe can only be a bird, and can fly!"
"Xihe is really great." Zhao Zize praised without hesitation.
The little girl received the compliment, smiled, covered her face, and asked, "Fifth Brother, do you want to join the Thousand Machines Academy?"
Emperor Jingyuan never rested on his laurels. After ascending the throne, he established the Qianji Academy, which was responsible for the innovation of military equipment and the gossip of mechanical devices.
Zhao Zize nodded, then recalled the look of relief in Emperor Jingyuan's eyes when he left, and his expression softened a little.
"I'm already eight years old, long past the prime age for martial arts training." Zhao Zizhe patted his injured leg and said, "Even if I recover in the future, I won't be able to ride a horse or shoot arrows for a long time. I might as well find another way out."
Hearing this, the little girl's mood became depressed. Zhao Zizhe calmed down and changed the subject, "Don't be sad. Qianjiyuan is also a good place to go."
Zhao Zizhe actually had other plans in his mind.
He had no interest in the throne, so naturally he didn't want to get involved in the court. It would be better for him to stay away from it.
Xihe suddenly asked, "Fifth Brother, will you... regret it?"
Zhao Zize's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"Xihe, we are human, not gods. Everyone will regret it, but we will understand it in the future."
Not being able to practice martial arts is an eternal regret in Zhao Zize's heart, but if his legs were intact and he could walk one day, this regret would not be so sad.
Regrets are inevitable, but people always have to accept regrets and then move on with regrets.
The little girl lay on Zhao Zizhe's legs and whispered, "God...actually, there will be regrets, but..."
It's just that she hasn't learned to accept it yet.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Cheer up." Zhao Zizhe didn't want to make the little girl sad, so he took the initiative to change the subject. He picked up a book beside him and said, "Xihe, come and teach me how to make a moving bird, okay?"
The little girl's expression immediately became happy, and all the dark clouds disappeared. She took the book and started talking nonstop, making Zhao Zize laugh.
The brother and sister were just about to take a break when they heard the sound of weapons clashing outside.
Soon, there was a chaos of shouting and crying.
Xihe was about to push aside the curtain to take a look, but Zhao Zizhe grabbed her hand. He looked very nervous.
"Be careful. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately. Don't worry about me. Do you hear me?"
The noise outside was getting closer and closer to the carriage.
Zhao Zizhe has difficulty walking, so bringing him along would only be a burden.
"Fifth brother, Xihe will not abandon you!" The little girl's face was full of seriousness.
As soon as Xihe lifted the curtain, half of her body fell into Xiao Mingxuan's arms.
"Xiao Xier, someone is robbing us on the road. The eldest prince asked me to take you away first." Xiao Mingxuan lifted the person off the carriage and pulled him into his arms.
The fighting had already started at the front. Although they brought a lot of people, the situation was very chaotic.
"Little brother, Fifth Brother! Fifth Brother is still inside." The little girl struggled to run into the carriage and refused to leave no matter what was said.
Xiao Mingxuan looked at the curtain and was silent for a while.
It is impossible to move fast with Zhao Zizhe, and they might even get into trouble.
Xiao Mingxuan asked himself if he was that kind.
