Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 236 Starlight

Lin Zisu was excited and looked in the direction Xie Xi pointed at. Wherever she looked, there was a black shadow. Through the moonlight, it seemed to be a rockery that was not too high.

Xie Xi pointed to the rockery and said, "When I was young, I would come here whenever I was bullied by my second and third brothers. As long as I find my treasures and stay for a few hours, I will forget anything I didn't want to do."

Lin Zisu was very curious about the "treasure" that Xie Xi said, but Xie Xi smiled mysteriously and said no more.

Until Xie Xi pulled Lin Zisu to the top of the rockery, Xie Xi sat down directly, reached out to touch an inconspicuous hole for a few breaths, and found a box that was one foot square from it.

Xie Xi held the box in one hand, took out a handkerchief from his arms with the other hand, spread it beside him, and then said to Lin Zisu: "Don't you want to see my treasure? Sit down and let's take a look together."

Lin Zisu hesitated for a moment and sat down. Xie Xi said proudly: "In the past, this was my own treasure, but in the future we will become our own!"

He said that, lifting the box hard and handing it to Lin Zisu.

There were no rare items in the box, most of which were slingshots, stone beads, and other toys for children. Some of them were not real, and seemed to be wood carvings, clay dolls and other things.

Lin Zisu picked up something that looked like a wood carving and asked, "Fourth Brother, is this your previous masterpiece?"

"Yes, I was learning carving with a eunuch in the palace. I heard that he had to practice hand strength first, so I found a lot of wood to practice."

Xie Xi laughed and said, "Later, my third brother saw it. He told his father that I was practicing witchcraft. Then his father sent someone to find a few unfinished wood carvings in my residence, and scolded me very much. Since then, I have never touched this."

"At first, she said that the wind in the yard was too strong, but after a long time, she was suspicious all day long and lost the trust of her mother. Then I greeted her with confidence."

Lin Zisu looked up at the sky and saw stars everywhere. Against the backdrop of the hazy moonlight, they were all shining brightly.

Lin Zisu's body stiffened, pretending to be nothing, and still pointed at the sky and talked and laughed with Xie Xi.

Lin Zisu remembered the brother who loved the art of heaven and craftsmanship at home, became interested in it, and said, "I didn't hear you mention this. I have practiced since I was a child and I should have achieved success in my studies."

Xie Xi was afraid that his illness would occur, so he was extremely nervous. Although his hands were placed on Lin Zisu's shoulder, only he knew that his arms were already stiff as wood.

Time seems to be silent here.

It was not until after more than ten days that Xie Xi confirmed that he would not get sick again, and then he felt relieved and his hand on Lin Zisu's shoulder also became relaxed.

The two of them overlapped, filling the warmth of the autumn cool at night.

"What happened later? You made this slingshot to hit her?"

Lin Zu silently flipped through other objects in the box. She originally thought that Xie Xi was just an unpopular prince.

Xie Xi said it was a "treasure", but in fact, there were only a dozen items in the box coming and going. Xie Xi told Lin Zisu one by one about the origin of the thing.

Although Xie Xi laughed happily, his laughter was filled with sadness.

After listening to Xie Xi’s narrative tonight, Xie Xi’s situation when she was young was worse than she thought.

Xie Xi saw infinite tenderness in Lin Zisu's eyes, and immediately laughed and said, "As long as you are willing to look up, you can always see the stars in the sky."

"Later, she was demoted by her mother's empress, so the slingshot was of course useless."

Lin Zisu heard Xie Xi say it and looked at the slingshot in her hand over and over again.

The palace was originally an extremely cruel place. It is hard to imagine how a prince like Xie Xi, who had no foundation, would have survived the situation over the past decade.

While speaking, Xie Xi leaned against Lin Zisu's body again. Lin Zisu hesitated for a moment and still leaned his head on Xie Xi's shoulder.

Sitting on the rockery, looking into the distance, you can see several palaces with lights in the Forbidden City.

Xie Xi glanced at Lin Zisu and said, "It's not fun to be so much. Besides, the nanny has been at my residence. If I take action directly, anyone can guess that I did it all at once."

Xie Xi was not idle in her mouth, and her eyes kept circling on Lin Zisu's face.

Lin Zisu turned her head, put away the shyness on her face, looked at Xie Xi and asked, "What did she say?"

At the end, he put away the box and said solemnly to Lin Zisu: "The wet nurse who has been following me has always said something to me, and I think it makes sense."

As time goes by, the beef tendon on the slingshot has decayed. Lin Zisu gently pulled it and then put the slingshot back into the box.

"Second brother, look, the Taibai star next to the moon is a little brighter than the moon, and the purple star over there can be said to be a reflection of the Taibai star."

"This place does not belong to us, I will give you another world."

Xie Xi followed Lin Zisu's finger and looked at the sky, then placed his eyes on Lin Zisu's face. Seeing that Lin Zisu was still looking up at the sky, he reached out and put his hand over her shoulder.

Lin Zisu thought about it and heard Xie Xi continue, "Those days, I took advantage of her sleeping, put some wild cats in, and then hit her doors and windows with a slingshot."

Xie Xi seemed to have thought of something happy, and this time she smiled very brightly, saying, "This slingshot is a long story. When I was seven years old, I moved to the East Second Office. My mother sent me two nannies to take care of my daily life. There was a nannies who kept glaring at me because of the support of my mother, so I made this slingshot."

Lin Zisu listened to Xie Xi’s childhood experiences with relish and occasionally asked a few thoughtful questions.

Lin Zisu felt sad for him, and wanted to relieve his unhappiness. She picked up the small slingshot, flipped it around in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Fourth Brother, you made this by yourself. If you have this thing, I am afraid that the birds in the palace will suffer."

Compared with the starlight, the lights are extremely brilliant and extremely strange.

Xie Xi said next to Lin Zisu's hair: "When the time comes, let's go to Dunzhou together, how about staying away from this place of right and wrong?"

Lin Zisu remembered the emperor's entrustment with him. I wonder if Xie Xi's words had anything to do with the emperor's entrustment.

However, she heard from Xie Xi's words that she was extremely proud. No matter what the situation would be like in the future, she would be with him.

"The sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds fly. This small place in the capital will only suck people's ambitions. The vast world outside is our sky."
