Didn't Love You Enough

Lin Jiabao was really exhausted. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he felt that his bones were about to fall apart, and his hands and legs were sore.

Lin Jiabao and the empress sat and rested quietly. Lin Jiabao felt hungry and thirsty. He hadn't had lunch today. It's already afternoon. They didn't know how long they would have to hide... still need to get some food first ...

"Empress, are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen of Xili Palace to see what to eat?" Lin Jiabao stood up and said to the empress.

The queen also felt hungry, "Anzhu, be careful, hurry up and go back..."

Before Lin Jiabao left, he put the big knife he was holding beside the empress, "This knife, empress, you take it for self-defense. I will be back soon."

Lin Jiabao gently opened the door, ducked out, closed the door carefully, and ran quickly to the kitchen of Xili Palace.

The queen looked at the big knife with fascination...

The kitchen of Xili Palace has also been vacant for a long time, and the stove is covered with dust.Lin Jiabao searched for a long time but found nothing to eat. In the cellar of the kitchen storage, he finally found a bag of white rice and a small bag of flour, as well as some sugar, salt and a small can of vegetable oil.Lin Jiabao thought for a while and prepared to use these to make two simple meals.

Lin Jiabao returned to the kitchen, first cleaned out a small stove, and then washed the pots and dishes.Lin Jiabao was very careful when doing these movements, trying not to make any noise.

When lighting the fire, Lin Jiabao raised his heart to the throat, fearing that the movement of the kitchen would attract the thieves.Lin Jiabao felt that his palms were sweating, he quickly boiled the white rice into porridge, and added some sugar to it.After that, knead the flour and water into a dough and press it into pancakes, fry in vegetable oil and sprinkle with salt.The kitchen was instantly filled with the aroma of vegetable oil.

Lin Jiabao's stomach let out bursts of growls, Lin Jiabao swallowed his saliva, only tasted a little, and then found a big food box and packed it.

Lin Jiabao carried a big food box and a pot of sweet porridge on his back, and returned to the empress's room when the sun was setting.

The queen waited anxiously in the room, her heart was full of worries, as time went by...the queen was chanting Namo, Amitabha Buddha in her heart... praying to the Buddha to bless this kind child...

The queen knew that Lin Xiaoshi was also very scared, but she left her the only weapon for self-defense.Facing the danger outside alone, if you happen to meet a thief... The queen dare not think about it, and is worried...

Seeing that Lin Anzhu had returned, the queen breathed a sigh of relief. "An Zhu, you are back, are you not in danger?"

"Empress, I'm fine, I haven't met anyone, it seems that Xili Palace is still very safe." Lin Jiabao brought the porridge to the table, took out the bowls and chopsticks from the food box and put them on.

The queen felt relieved after hearing this.

"Empress, I only found these in the kitchen, so I made porridge and pancakes. It's a bit crude, empress, please forgive me." Lin Jiabao filled a bowl of hot porridge and placed it in front of the empress.From the bottom of the food box, I put the baked pancakes in a small plate, ready to serve the empress.

The queen picked up the bowl and took a sip of porridge. After a long day of adventure, there is nothing better than drinking a sip of hot porridge in a cold room in winter.The porridge was cooked to a moderate degree of softness and hardness, sweet and delicious. After eating it, the queen felt sweet and warm in her heart.

The queen looked at Lin Anzhu who was standing beside him, "Anzhu, you should sit down and eat now, it's a special situation, don't worry about these things, eat quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold."

"Empress, eat first, I'll wait until you finish eating..." Lin Jiabao refused to sit down.

The queen pushed him down and sat down, and handed him a pancake. "Eat quickly, I have worked hard for you today..."

Under the repeated persuasion of the queen, Lin Jiabao started to use it together, and finished eating the pancakes in two or three strokes.

"An Zhu, your cooking is delicious. This is the best porridge I've ever had." The queen ate the porridge while biting a pancake, thinking that it was really hard for this child... Lin Jiabao was embarrassed by the praise. "It's not as good as what the empress said..."

After finishing his meal, Lin Jiabao went to the kitchen to boil hot water and came back to wash his hands and face for the Empress.Afterwards, Lin Jiabao and the empress snuggled up on the bed.Originally, Lin Jiabao insisted on sleeping in the next room, but the empress did not agree.The Empress looked at Lin Jiabao and said, "You silly boy, lie down with Ben Gong today. The two of us also have a care..."

Lin Jiabao lay down obediently on the bed, and the queen touched Lin Jiabao's cold face. "Why is your face so cold..."

There was no brazier in the room, and the room was indeed extremely cold.The quilt on the bed was also very thin, and the queen covered most of Lin Jiabao's body with the quilt.

Lin Jiabao said in his mouth: "I am not cold, Empress, you can cover it up."

Lin Jiabao had sweated a lot on the empress's back just now, and her back was soaked.When the cold wind blows, I feel extremely cold.

The queen felt that Lin Jiabao was trembling, "It's so cold." The queen hugged Lin Jiabao and wrapped the two of them tightly with the quilt.

Lin Jiabao felt the warm embrace of the empress, as if he had returned to the embrace of his mother when he was a child...

"Are you scared today..." the queen asked Lin Jiabao softly.The queen thought that Lin Jiabao was still only 14 years old, so it is really extraordinary to be able to perform today.He planned to reward Lin Xiaoshi well after this matter subsides.

"Yes." Lin Jiabao nodded honestly.

"This is the imperial palace. Fighting and bloodshed for the throne are unavoidable." The queen sighed.

Now that Lin Jiabao has calmed down, he is also a little worried about Yuan Qing and the others, wondering what is going on with them.

Seeing that what she said was a little heavy, the queen changed the subject, "I heard Cheng'er call you Jiabao, is that your real name?"

"Back to Empress, yes, Anzhu's original name is Lin Jiabao." Lin Jiabao replied.

"It's a good name. Your parents must love you very much at home." The queen knew that Lin Jiabao's name meant that he must be very favored at home.

"My parents have always loved me the most, and my brothers and sisters also love me very much." Lin Jiabao said that his family looked happy.

"Then I will call you Jiabao from now on...Jiabao, how did you come into the palace?" The queen was a little curious, since there are so many children in the Lin family, she probably wouldn't let the most precious child into the palace.

Lin Jiabao whispered to the empress what happened to his uncle Lin Dali's family and the reason why he came into the palace.

After hearing this, the queen said: "It's really a bad relative, but if it weren't for this, you wouldn't have come into the palace, and you wouldn't be as lucky as you are today..."

As the sky darkened, Lin Jiabao and the others did not dare to light the lamp, and whispered in the dark room.Lin Jiabao whispered some trivia about his hometown, and the empress liked it very much.The queen grew up in the capital and never left the capital.Hearing Lin Jiabao talk about interesting things in the mountains, I found it very novel.

Lin Jiabao was talking about the sour and crunchy taste of wild fruits when he went up to the mountains with his brothers and sisters when he was a child...

Just as he was talking, he heard noises from the next room, Lin Jiabao fell silent, and the Empress and Empress did not dare to vent their anger, listening to the movement in the next room.Lin Jiabao quietly placed the big knife in front of the two of them.

A man's voice came from next door, "Damn it, this palace is too big, I'm dizzy from walking."

Another voice came, "Brother, take a rest first, there is no one here. If you want me to say that this palace is too big, the old emperor is so tired from walking every day..."

"Haha, you are stupid, but you still don't admit it. Wherever the emperor needs to walk by himself, someone will carry him..."

"Oh hehe, what the elder brother said is true. Look at my brain."

"Hiss... lighten up..."

"Brother, hold on, I'll help you bandage it up. The guards of the imperial guards stretched their hands really well. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise my little life will be here today, alas! It's a pity for the other brothers I don't know if it's dead or alive..."

"Life and death is a matter of life, and sooner or later there will be such an experience in seeking life on the sword..."

"Brother, what do you think we should do next? Do we still want to capture the Empress? That's 1 taels of gold!"

"What about 1 taels of gold? The Empress is the mother of a country. If she is caught, she will destroy the Nine Clans. Do you know the Nine Clans? Anyway, we are just asking for money, and we don't have to work as hard as the dead soldiers of King Li... ..."

"Brother is talking about...the queen should be captured by those dead soldiers."

"Haha, most of the dead soldiers were also killed or injured. I don't know how many escaped? Don't worry about them. In short, there are still gains in entering the palace this time. Look... I took it indiscriminately in the palace. It shouldn't be worth it." Less silver."

"Hee hee, big brother, look, I'm a bit smooth too..."

"You kid, you are really clever in this respect haha..."

"That's not how big brother taught you well..."

"Okay, let's rest for a while. When it's late at night, we'll find a way to escape from the palace. These are enough for us to spend most of our lives outside..."

After waiting for about an hour, Lin Jiabao and the others finally heard the thief next door leave.They all let out a sigh of relief.It was very late at night, and neither of them dared to sleep, for fear that the thieves would turn back again, and also fear that the dead men of King Li would come.

After the fourth watch, the queen couldn't hold back and fell asleep. Lin Jiabao saw that the queen was asleep, but he didn't dare to sleep.He pinched himself hard, forcing himself to stay awake.

Xuanyuan Hancheng rushed to the palace, and Ling Zhengfeng, the commander of the forbidden army, reported to him what happened in the palace yesterday.Ling Zhengfeng said that he had rushed to Yongshou Palace with the forbidden army after receiving the order from the empress yesterday.At that time, the empress had disappeared, and they fought against the people brought by Xue Song.In the end, many thieves were killed and captured, but some thieves still escaped.

Ling Zhengfeng said that Lin Xiaoshi and the empress fled together under the guard of the guards. According to the guards who guarded the empress and the empress, the empress and the others were planning to go to the Qianqing Palace to escape.But after he sent someone to the Qianqing Palace, he didn't see the empress and the others, so he should have taken refuge in another palace.It's just that the guards got separated from the Empress and Lin Xiaoshi later, and it's unknown where the Empress and the others went...
