Quick Wear: Plan to Save the Unrequited Boss

Ji Jinyan learned the truth about A'man's departure without saying goodbye, and A'man also learned that Ji Jinyan had no choice but to stay in the palace.

A'man wants to take Ji Jinyan away, but Ji Jinyan wants to avenge the entire Ji family.

A'man stayed with Ji Jinyan, and the two planned revenge together, but A'man fled the village because he didn't like the constraints of the tribe and didn't learn any of the ancestral witchcraft techniques.

The Emperor of Beizhao was not only guarded by people, but also protected by secret guards with high martial arts skills. His food was strictly controlled and could not be taken in at all.

Seeing that Ji Jinyan was becoming increasingly anxious because he could not get revenge, A'man took the initiative to suggest that there was a mind-controlling insect in the village. It did not need to be planted in people's food. It could be planted silently by just a moment's proximity.

So A'man returned to the place she had escaped with great difficulty. Unexpectedly, this time the tribesmen had increased the security and not only could she not get the mind-controlling poison, she could not get out either.

The tribesmen even sent a message to Ji Jinyan in Aman's name without Aman's knowledge, saying that they were going to get married soon and would not go back.

Originally, A'man's existence was Ji Jinyan's last bit of comfort in this world. Now, this bit of comfort has betrayed him. Looking at the baby who was only a few months old in his arms, Ji Jinyan went completely crazy.

He forgot about A'man and only thought that Xiao Zhiyan was the child of his enemy, and tortured him in every way. If it weren't for the servants around Ji Jinyan who knew the truth and protected him, Xiao Zhiyan would not have grown up to this age.

When A'man escaped from the village again and returned to the palace, Ji Jinyan had already died. Looking at the four-year-old Xiao Zhiyan listening to the servants report what had happened over the years, the light in A'man's eyes went out.

It was not easy to get the mind-controlling Gu and escape. A'man's face was disfigured, and the only servant who knew about A'man and Ji Jinyan's past also died. So A'man disguised herself as a man and stayed with Xiao Zhiyan, teaching him poison and Gu techniques.

Xiao Zhiyan's character is dark and difficult to tame, and he does not obey A'man's discipline. Every time this happens, A'man poisons him and puts a spell on him, and he has to obey her and study poison techniques. It is cruel, but it is also the best way to grow quickly.

Xiao Zhiyan didn't know where this ugly man came from, but he forced him to learn various poison techniques every day. Being forced so hard, Xiao Zhiyan swore that he would poison him to death with his own hands after he learned it.

Later, Xiao Zhiyan really became interested in poison and witchcraft, but before he could poison Aman himself, Aman died.

It turns out that the mind-controlling insect is not easy to raise. It cruelly requires a person's heart blood to feed, and it must be from the same person. The day the mind-controlling insect was raised, Aman's heart was covered with scars, and she was going to die.

She also saw the Emperor Beizhao's feelings for Xiao Zhiyan, and gave the mind-controlling Gu to Xiao Zhiyan before she died.

As she had guessed, Xiao Zhiyan gave the mind-controlling poison to Emperor Beizhao.

A'man's body was weak, her face was as old as tree bark, and her voice was hoarse as if it contained sand. She stood in the house and took a last look at Xiao Zhiyan, and then flames burst out. That night, a humble and shabby house in Yunxiao Palace was full of flames.

For some reason, the fire seemed to have its own territory and did not spread. It was just so fierce that it burned the house to ashes without leaving any trace.

Wen Ling's expression was complicated after receiving the hidden plot.

Xiao Zhiyan, who was resting his head on her neck and playing with her hair, looked very comfortable at this moment. He was pulling the hair in his hands back and forth. He looked very satisfied as if he had obtained a precious toy. There was no gloom on his face, and his dark eyes were shining.

No matter what Xiao Zhiyan's temperament was, he was as childish as a young child at this moment.

Wen Ling thought that if she was more patient with him in the future, the crooked saplings might be able to be straightened.

Wen Ling raised her hand and hugged Xiao Zhiyan, resting her chin on his neck.

Wen Ling thought she was comforting him, comforting him for having such a miserable childhood.

However, Xiao Zhiyan was so shocked by Wen Ling's sudden and proactive hug that he froze in shock.

This hug was not forced by him but initiated by A Ling.

Xiao Zhiyan's narrow eyes widened into a circle, his face full of astonishment, his usual negative emotions all gone. If someone who didn't know Xiao Zhiyan saw him with this expression, they would probably smile and say, "Idiot."

Xiao Zhiyan hugged Wen Ling's arms tightly, wanting to ask why but not daring to speak out, fearing that he would disturb Wen Ling.

What if she doesn't hug him anymore?

In his heart, he was secretly wondering why Wen Ling suddenly hugged him, thinking about what he had just told her about his childhood.

Xiao Zhiyan thought to himself that A Ling was heartbroken because of his miserable childhood. In fact, he didn't think his childhood was that miserable. If he had never felt warmth from the beginning, he wouldn't feel how unbearable the malice he faced since birth was.

Just like a person who has always lived in darkness and has never seen what the sunlight looks like and what it feels like when it shines on his body, he will not think that there is anything wrong with darkness.

But since A Ling was willing to suffer the consequences, Xiao Zhiyan secretly wondered what else he could say to A Ling to win her sympathy.

Wen Ling was hesitating whether to tell Xiao Zhiyan about this past event, wondering if telling him would add to her sadness.

However, no matter how much Xiao Zhiyan hid it and acted as if he didn't care, Wen Ling could still sense from the sarcastic tone in his voice when he recounted his birth that he didn't mind his background either.

Telling him at least lets him know that his birth was not mixed with so much evil, and he was also conceived with love by his father and mother.

After figuring it out, Wen Ling told Xiao Zhiyan about this past event.

After listening to the whole story, Xiao Zhiyan was slightly stunned. He looked up at Wen Ling and spoke in surprise.

"She's my mother?"

"Yes, her name is Aman, she is your mother."

A'man stayed with Xiao Zhiyan from the age of four until she died when he was sixteen. A'man never told Xiao Zhiyan her name, and Xiao Zhiyan never asked because he didn't care.

Even when he knew she was dead, Xiao Zhiyan was just stunned for a whole afternoon. From then on, everything in Yunxiao Palace was back to normal, as if A'man had never appeared.

After being stunned for a long time, Xiao Zhiyan leaned his head on Wen Ling and listened to her heartbeat.

Then he scoffed, indifferent.

"Then she did a good thing before she died."

Wen Ling knew he was referring to the mind-controlling Gu. Xiao Zhiyan, as if listening to someone else's story, was stunned at first, but then his expression returned to normal.

But Wen Ling could see that he was in a low mood.

Xiao Zhiyan raised his eyes and looked at Wen Ling.

"A Ling, I'm sleepy, can you coax me to sleep?"

It was the first time that Wen Ling saw a fragile look in his eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then she patted his back like she did that time and sang a lullaby that she didn't even know to put him to sleep.

She thought Xiao Zhiyan also resented Ji Jinyan. After learning the truth tonight, Xiao Zhiyan might feel less resentful and burdened by the past.

Realizing that Xiao Zhiyan had fallen asleep, Wen Ling looked down at him and saw moisture in the corners of his eyes.

How could a person really be heartless? It's just that it's buried so deeply that people mistakenly think it's truly heartless.

Wen Ling stared at him for a long time, then opened her lips and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Good night, little lunatic."
