Chapter 49 Chapter Forty-Nine: The Young Man in the Cold Palace

"Don't move around, this is the palace, you should speak and do things properly and don't act recklessly. If something goes wrong and you go home and be scolded, don't cry at me again." Gu Xiujing was serious at a young age. What it looks like when it grows up.

   Seeing Gu Xiujing frowned and reprimanded Xiao Changning, he looked rigid like an old pedant. Mother Jiang and Mother Gu looked at each other, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and sniggered.

  Mother Gu shook her head helplessly: "This child, he is stupid in reading."

Mother Jiang wiped away the tears from her laughter, then patted the back of Mother Gu's hand to comfort her and said, "It's a good thing that Brother Jing likes to read, unlike my monkey, there's never a quiet time." In other words, Jiang's mother looked at Xiao Changning with a loving face.

  Little Changning was suddenly scolded, and he hadn't cultivated the temperament of forbearance and self-respect yet. Unconvinced, he made a face at Gu Xiujing, but the movements of his hands stopped.

  Children are very active, while little Changning is unstable and often confined in the mansion. It is the first time to enter the palace to see everything is new.

   After sitting for a while, Xiao Changning couldn't bear it and slid down from the soft chair, seeing that no one was watching her and sneaking out in a cat's body.

   Jiang Changning, who had been paying attention to her, quickly followed.

  The little guy was quick with his small size, and ran away like a rabbit before anyone noticed.

  In order not to let Jiang's mother find out, Xiao Changning quietly avoided the palace servants and guards passing by outside the door, and walked curiously after seeing the moon hanging low outside.

  The roads in the palace extend in all directions, I don't know where I went, and I can't see the brightly lit courtyard just now.

  A crescent moon crosses the exquisite turret, casting a hazy yellow light on the high wall, which looks mysterious and quiet.

"Meow-"

  A meow came from within the silent palace walls, and Xiao Changning walked towards the direction of the sound, going deeper and deeper, and the dilapidated courtyard was clearly separated from the luxurious environment just now.

  Cobwebs were formed around the corners of the wall, and weeds were overgrown in the yard. There were only a few wooden tables with rotting table legs, which were empty and no one cared about them.

"Meow-"

  The meowing of the cat was clear and piercing, and the sound became sharper and shriller. A black civet cat was holding a piece of invisible pastry under its feet, arching its back and confronting the boy in front of it.

  Little Changning poked his head quietly to see a young boy in a rough robe holding a sharp stone. His clothes were disheveled, revealing his bony chest, his complexion was sallow, only his eyes were amazingly bright, as if a fire was burning.

  He rushed in front of the cihuamao, and the cihuamao was startled and left a **** scratch on his hand. The young boy didn't back down, endured the pain, grabbed the cihuamao's fleeing back, and smashed the stone on his right hand hard.

  A mournful cry resounded in the silent palace.

   "Ah—" Little Changning took a step back in fright, stepped on the stone covered with weeds and let out an exclamation.

   Even though he had reacted quickly and covered his mouth, he was still discovered by the boy who had just picked up the pastry from the wild cat's stomach.

"Who?!"

  Little Changning didn't care about explaining, the young man's ruthless tactics just now still lingered in her mind, so she turned around and ran out.

  Although this dilapidated palace looks empty, there are many messy stones and wooden blocks hidden on the ground that cannot be seen clearly in the night. Little Changning stumbled as he ran faster than the young boy who was familiar with this place, but he was grabbed by the collar before he stepped out of the gate.

  The young man was very strong and easily pulled her back.

   "Well—let me go!" Xiao Changning struggled in shock and anger.

  Jiang Changning wanted to help, but after trying several times, he couldn't touch the two people in front of him.

   Tried several times to no avail.

  Jiang Changning put down her hand, she knew in her heart that she did not belong to this place.

  What happened in front of her eyes may be a dream, or it may be her past...memories.

  Looking at the young man who was as fierce as a little wolf in front of him, Jiang Changning always felt a little familiar in his heart.

   "Who are you?!" The boy turned around, tightly clutching the collar of Xiao Changning's front, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Take care of me! Let go!" Little Changning cried out of fright, made mental preparations, lowered his head and bit the boy's wrist cruelly, and exhausted all his strength in panic, the boy's fleshy wrist was bitten and bled Come.

   "Hiss—"

  The boy let go of his hand in pain, and Xiao Changning ran out without looking back.

   "Cough, cough, cough" The little boy pressed the wound with his uninjured hand to stop the bleeding. The piercing pain woke him up. The fight with the wild cat just now had consumed the little strength he had managed to recover.

  He ignored the peeling palace wall and soiled his clothes, which were not clean at first, and ran away while leaning against the courtyard wall and watching helplessly.

Frightened, the beautiful dress was also stained in the dilapidated palace, and the delicate bun lost its hair in the panic of running, looking like a different person from the finely carved little man just now .

  Little Changning couldn't hold back her grievances, and went back with tears in her eyes. On the way, she was seen by a maid serving her and sent her back to the banquet.

   Seeing Chang Ning's filth all over, before she could speak, Gu Xiujing's admonition came out: "Where have you been? You look like a girl!"

Little Changning was already in a panic and was still flustered. He couldn't imagine that there was no comfort at the moment, and he was reprimanded by brother Xiu Jing who relied on him on weekdays. Out of breath.
