Chapter 52
Chapter 52 – Fell Down
Chapter 52 fell down
Xiao Huaisu tasted this kind of taste for the first time since he could remember.
“Delicious!” Xiao Changning’s eyes were bright, and he was obviously very confident in the sweet-scented osmanthus.
The little boy didn’t say yes or no, he looked at her coldly, but he didn’t say any hurtful words.
Chang Ning took his hand and put a bag full of sweet-scented osmanthus candies into his palm: “Hey! It’s all for you!”
“Why?” Xiao Huaisu didn’t believe that someone would treat him well for no reason, but he also couldn’t figure out the little girl’s intentions.
“I’ve done something wrong and I’m here to apologize. If you eat my candy, you’ve forgiven me. In this way, we are good friends! I can bring you a lot of delicious food in the future!”
…You gave me this candy yourself.
Xiao Huaisu lowered his eyes, friend? He never needs to.
Throughout these years, it wasn’t that people who approached him under the guise of caring, all of them came to ridicule and humiliate him in the end. After struggling to survive in this deep palace until now, he is no longer the innocent and ignorant little prince Qin Huaisu.
I want to see what you want to do.
Thousands of times in his heart, but he didn’t show half of it on his face. He put away his purse, and as expected, he saw the little girl smiling happily with her eyes bent.
“My name is Jiang Changning, you can call me Changning, what’s your name?”
“Qin Huaisu.”
Little Changning didn’t care about Qin Huaisu’s indifference at all, and eagerly shared his favorite thing with him: “Have you ever eaten pineapple cake? It’s a kind of golden fruit! The skin is fragrant and soft, and the color is golden, just break it off gently. You can see the filling inside, the outer layer is crispy and melts in your mouth, and the pineapple filling inside is full of fruity fragrance…”
If it weren’t for the little girl’s eyes that can see through it at a glance, Qin Huaisu would almost think that this is a new way of torture, and he wants to talk about it in front of people who have eaten good food.
“No.”
Little Changning stammered, and said briskly, “It’s okay! I have a lot of money, next time I’ll buy all the delicious food on the street and bring it to you to taste!” It’s just a few things at the entrance.
As she spoke, her voice lowered. This time she entered the palace with great difficulty, and she didn’t know when the next time would be: “If only I could enter the palace at any time, then I can give you everything every day.” Bring something to eat!”
“Really?” Qin Huaisu didn’t know what he thought of, his expression was dark.
Little Changning patted his chest, his crystal grape-like eyes widened as if to say, why don’t you believe me.
“I know a place where I can come in anytime.”
“Where is it?!”
Xiao Huaisu led Xiao Changning forward. The road was narrow and long because there were no palace lanterns to see it, so it was pitch black.
He stopped by a palace wall, and the moonlight cast a reflection on the wall, which fell on the face of Qin Huai Su, making it hard to see the expression clearly.
The palace wall is not too high, but it is not short either. It is about two heads taller than Qin Huaisu.
“Is this right here?” Xiao Changning looked curiously.
“Yeah.” Qin Huaisu looked up at the wall, thinking whether throwing people up to scare him would make him quit and stop bothering him.
“This wall is the only place where you can freely enter and exit the palace. Few people know about it. You can see the entire capital outside by climbing up. The location to the southwest is the Hou’s Mansion. If you want to enter the palace in the future, you can turn in from here. “
The pitch-black palace wall looked like a winding insect. Little Changning looked at it hesitantly, but did not move.
“Are you scared?”
Hearing Qin Huaisu’s neutral voice, Little Changning took a deep breath, and patted himself comfortingly: “I’m not afraid! What’s the matter, I climbed over a tree with my brother at home!”
“Then go up and have a look.”
Qin Huaisu crouched at the corner of the wall, motioning for Chang Ning to step on him and climb up.
Little Chang Ning Mingming was terrified in his heart, but now he gritted his teeth and insisted that he could do it. His palms were wet with sweat, and he leaned on the palace wall to leave an invisible mark.
The small body stepped on Qin Huaisu’s thin body. Xiao Changning was not tall, but she was not light because of the sufficient nutrition. She stepped on Qin Huaisu’s back carefully for fear of crushing him, so she stood on tiptoe Go to the eaves.
“I’m up.”
Qin Huaisu stood up slowly supporting the body on his back, Chang Ning watched the ground getting farther and farther away from him and the soles of his feet were getting weaker and weaker.
Chang Ning struggled to kick a few feet on the palace wall, Qin Huaisu had already tried his best to stand at the highest point, Chang Ning grasped the eaves of the wall in his hands and climbed up, his fingertips were red with force.
Qin Huaisu suddenly couldn’t bear it, and felt a bit withdrawn, he closed his eyes and sighed, “Why don’t you come down, this palace wall is still too difficult to climb, I’ll help you find another way.”
Little Changning was about to climb up, and the soles of her feet were only a finger away from the top of the wall. All her strength was concentrated on her hands and legs, and she struggled to say, “No, I’ll climb up right away.”
Suddenly lightened, Qin Huaisu stood up straight to look. Little Changning had already moved his body to the top of the wall, moving his body tremblingly and trying to stand up.
“Don’t move—” Before he finished speaking, Xiao Changning lost his balance, stepped on the air and fell down.
He subconsciously stretched out his arms to pick it up, but he still couldn’t stop Changning’s falling body in time. The little girl was so panicked that she fell to the ground before she even let out a cry of surprise.
Inside the palace wall is a cobbled stone road, the back of the head of little Changning hit the ground, and the blood bleeds out.
Jiang Changning watched all this, his pupils suddenly constricted.
The people on the ground had already lost consciousness, Qin Huaisu never thought it would end like this, he just wanted to scare her.
Qin Huaisu’s lips were pale, the situation in front of him made him bewildered.
With a hint of sugar remaining on the tip of his tongue, Qin Huaisu tightly grasped the purse in his hand.
He didn’t dare to look at Xiao Changning’s tightly closed eyes, Qin Huaisu collected himself, and shook his hands to detect Xiao Changning’s breath. After feeling weak breathing, he finally shouted at the top of his lungs: “Come on! It’s out of the water—”
This palace wall is inaccessible, and he didn’t disturb anyone even when he yelled.
Qin Huaisu took out from his bosom the torch that he had acquired so hard that he had never been willing to use and lit a dead tree not far away
The same is true for the trees here, because they have lost their vitality because they have not been taken care of for too long. In the scorching summer, sparks rise up the treetops with the wind.
In the dark night, the flames were so bright that they burst into the sky, “The fire has escaped—quickly put out the fire!”
People from various palaces hurried over with buckets of water shouting loudly.
Qin Huaisu held the fire extinguisher in his hand and hid in the dark. He didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until he saw someone calling Jiang Changning’s name and hurriedly picked her up and rushed to the Tai Hospital.
The palm of his hand was burned by sparks, Qin Huaisu quietly backed away while no one noticed.
Jiang Changning watched the half-grown child run away with complicated eyes.
It turned out that she and Qin Huaisu had been involved so early.
Little Changning injured his head and fainted. Fortunately, the timely treatment did not cause major impacts. It was just that the blood pressure in the back of the brain oppressed some nerves, but he couldn’t remember how to get to the palace wall and how he fainted.
Jiang’s mother saw the well-behaved child enter the palace, and she almost lost her life, so naturally she regretted it.
Jiang Changning watched Mother Jiang weep as she was holding her as a child. She wanted to go up to comfort her, but she also knew that Mother Jiang would not hear her.
Jiang Changning was circling anxiously in the room, when she suddenly heard someone calling her name outside.
