Quick Wear Peace

"Then you can't hurt me, or we'll die together."

There was madness in his eyes and a cold tone in his voice, like a wolf cub.

An Ning didn't take his words to heart at all. He had the intention, but not the ability.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word."

An Ning said calmly, "Don't run away after I let you go, otherwise, I will let you die here now."

The faint voice was filled with coldness.

Her hands kept stroking his fragile neck, as if his head would be separated from his neck if he didn't agree the next moment.

Yu Bai behind looked at An Ning with admiration.

It is obvious that he knows what it means to be a man of insight.

An Ning let go of her hand and got off him.

"Tell me, who are you and why are you here?"

An Ning frowned and rubbed her wrists calmly. Her body was too delicate. Her wrists couldn't bear it after using just a little bit of strength.

But these little movements were seen by Yu Bai, who had his eyes on her.

Yu Bai walked over, took An Ning's hand and rubbed it gently.

An Ning was very happy that someone was doing it for her.

"This is not the place to talk. Come with me."

The child looked around and led them to another room.

The room is simple, without any decorations, but very clean.

There is no breath of life in it. It seems that this is not the place for this child to live.

"I don't have a name."

The child said calmly.

"As long as I can remember, a wet nurse took care of me. Later, the wet nurse fell ill. I didn't have money to treat her illness, so she passed away."

I don't know what the child was thinking about, his eyes were full of hatred, but he quickly returned to normal.

An Ning was shocked. Are kids nowadays so smart? They can hide their emotions so quickly.

If she hadn't been paying attention to his every move all the time, she would have really thought that the child didn't care.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The child looked at them and concealed his emotions well, but An Ning still saw his vigilance.

"Don't worry about who we are. We will never pose a threat to you. We just want to know when that group of eunuchs started throwing corpses into the well."

Seeing the child pursed his lips tightly and lowered his head, he said, "After you tell me what you know, we will leave."

An Ning said quickly.

On the one hand, she really couldn't stand the women here disappearing every day, and the emperor must be up to no good. On the other hand, it was just a small loss of hope for her, and it was still a merit.

Even if she didn't get any points this time, she didn't want to come to this world in vain.

“It started five years ago.”

The child swallowed.

It was as if he had returned to that night five years ago, when his back was in great pain. He gritted his teeth and turned over. The pain in his body made him groggy when he slept that night.

Suddenly he heard a woman's cry, and he lifted the thin quilt to cover his ears.

But the quilt rubbed against the scar on his back, so he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath.

The pain completely prevented him from sleeping. He could hear a woman crying in his ears. He stood up and walked towards the direction of the sound out of curiosity.

Hiding in the bushes, I saw a group of young eunuchs throwing a crying woman into a well, and cries for help came from the well.

When there was no more sound, the eunuchs clapped their hands and left happily, "We can finally go to sleep."

After they walked away, he quickly ran to the well. The water surface had returned to calm, as if everything that had just happened was just his imagination.

A few days later, noisy sounds were heard outside again.

He knew what was going on, so he covered his head with the quilt and covered his ears tightly with his hands.

I don’t know when it started, but there was no more sound from the well.

He went to see it secretly once, and it was blurry, but he could still see clearly that they were throwing something into the well.

From then on, he never dared to go to the well again, for fear that these little eunuchs would discover him.

Until today, he didn't know how he came here.

An Ning and Yu Bai looked at each other.

When I was about to leave, I saw a little kid behind me with his head down, thinking about something. I don’t know where the clothes he wore came from, but they didn’t fit him at all. He looked very short, probably because he hadn’t eaten enough.

"Do you want to come with us?"

An Ning asked in a deep voice.

"……May I?"

The child's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that she would take him away.

In this short period of time, a lot of thoughts came to my mind.

Here I am also beaten, have poor food and sleep, how bad can it be when I get out?

"Ah."

An Ning nodded.

An Ning stretched out her hand and hugged Yu Bai's neck. Yu Bai stretched out his fingers and held the child's collar with one hand.

Enjoying the treatment before An Ning.

When they entered the bathroom, the child sent the servant away because he was not used to being served by servants.

He didn't know where this place was, but he saw An Ning asking a servant to take him to take a bath.

The warm water flows over the skin, gently caressing the thin, scarred skin.

The child was in a daze for a moment. He didn't expect that he could come out so easily.

Escaped from the place that made him suffer.

He didn't know if his choice was right, but when he saw the man's extraordinary skills and the huge house full of wealth, he knew his chance had come.

A chance to turn things around.

Mom, I will never let you down.

The child lowered his head and looked at the clear water. The kind faces of his wet nurse and mother seemed to appear on the water.

Two lines of tears flowed from his eyes, fell onto the water, and created ripples.

"Why did you bring this child here?"

Yu Bai looked at her with some confusion as she asked the servants to prepare some vegetarian dishes.

"Who do you think this child belongs to?"

An Ning asked Yu Bai gossipy questions.

Yu Bai pulled An Ning's wrist and massaged it gently.

He didn't pay much attention to what happened in the palace. After coming to this world, he had been looking for An Ning's whereabouts, and he didn't go to the palace often.

It was always the Emperor who decided whether to go or not when there was something going on.

"Could it be the child of the palace maid and the guard?" with a smile on his face.

"No, no, no." An Ning stretched out her index finger and waved it.

"He should be the emperor's child."

An Ning said quietly.

"why?"

Yu Bai didn't understand why An Ning was so sure.

"All women in the palace are considered the emperor's by default. This seems to be an unwritten rule."

An Ning thought of the emperors in TV dramas who would favor any woman they wanted.
