[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

It didn't take long to hear from the maids that the queen gave birth to a dragon son named Dunkang.After hearing this, Zhang Zi remembered that it had been three months since the last time we met. I don't know how Mr. Dingzi is doing now.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zi thought of the girl she met not long ago who broke into her Feixiang House by accident.

She looks very lonely, with an expression like she's about to cry.

At that time, she was found by the maid and wanted to break free. When she saw Qinzi, she looked like she was asking for help.At that time, she seemed to be because she saw her previous appearance from that expression.After her mother passed away, that stubborn expression clearly made her want to cry.

"I don't mind if this child lives with me for a while, it can be used as a change of mood. By the way, can you help me talk to the Queen."

Lifting the bamboo curtain, she walked in front of the child, knelt down, looked at her with a smile, and stroked her head.

"My name is Zhangzi, how about you?"

"Xiuzi..."

"Would Prince Xiu Zinai be willing to live here for a while?"

Xiuzi looked at the disapproving expression of the female officer behind him, bit his lower lip and nodded in agreement.After seeing her nodding in agreement, Zhang Zi stood up and said with a smile to the female officer behind her.

"Then I'm counting on you."

"Yes, Lady Barnacles."

Then the child lived in her palace, but she often showed a sad expression, which made Zhang Zi often decorate her with small ornaments bestowed by the emperor.Then I also ordered Qinzi, who delivered the letter, to buy some small toys, because they were ordinary little toys that were not found in the palace, but Xiuzi was very fond of a small toy that was as delicate as a doll.

"...The Barnacle Lady..."

"Just call me Akiko."

"Um……"

Looking at Xiuzi who appeared in his bedroom at night, Zhang Zi put on the coat next to her and asked gently.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow...can I sleep with you, Akiko tonight?"

For Xiuzi who showed a pleading expression, Zhangzi of course nodded in agreement.When she wanted to ask someone to prepare another quilt, she grabbed her clothes and expressed that she wanted to sleep in the same quilt.Zhang Zi had no choice but to call the maid back, and lay down in the quilt with her, maybe because he was reluctant to go back tomorrow, Xiu Zi didn't fall asleep immediately.

Zhang Zi sighed, imitating how modern mothers take care of their children, patting the quilt and humming a lullaby softly.After Xiuzi's eyelids fought for a while, he fell asleep immediately, which made Zhangzi heave a sigh of relief and was about to fall asleep too.The strength from the sleeve made her hold her with one free hand, comforting her in a low voice, because the child's dream talk was so pitiful.

"Master Dingzi didn't think that Xiuzi was superfluous, because Xiuzi is Master Dingzi's own flesh and blood. She must be missing you at night."

That's right...no mother in the world would abandon her own flesh and blood, even the mother prayed for her safety at the last moment, even...

Xueling...

Zhang Zi, who was sleeping, didn't notice the faint light shining from the hair ornament. A woman came out of it and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Zhang Zi's eyes.

——Even if there is only one soul, I will always guard you, because you are my favorite child.

"Your Highness?"

Shocked by the sound, Zhang Zi came back from his memories, blinked a few times, then patted his chest and complained to the smiling Qin Zi.

"Really, Qinzi, you know how to tease me."

"No, Qinzi just wanted to deliver the letter in her hand to you."

When Zhang Zi, who was a little angry, looked at her with some doubts when he heard the letter, after all, she didn't write to anyone.

"It belongs to Her Majesty the Queen."

Master Stator?

When he took the letter and opened it to read, Zhang Zi fell into deep thought.Because the above is Sting Zi's thanks to her and... I want to ask her to take care of Xiu Zi for a while, because of the birth of Prince Dunkang, she is ignoring another child now.

"By the way, the female royals in the harem have caught a cold recently, so please be careful, Your Highness."

Zhang Zi, who has not been sick so far, blinked, smiled and waved his hands.

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention. Kotoko, are you alright?"

"Don't worry, I think back then I was someone who wanted to practice martial arts."

"Well……"

The topics of the maids changed quickly. No, when Qinzi was preparing things, they looked at Zhangzi who was reading a book and whispered.

Regarding the fact that the barnacle maiden is about to be made a queen...

Although he was interrupted by Qinzi later, Zhang Zi smiled nonchalantly at the whining Qinzi.Recently, for some unknown reason, many female emperors came to visit the Tuyumen Hall from the harem. It turned out that it was because of this...

She must have lived in the Tuyumon Temple because of the Empress Dowager.

But it's been so long.Zhangzi, who expressed such emotion, faced Qinzi who was puzzled beside him, just smiled without saying a word, picked up the tea placed beside him and drank slowly.

"However, what makes me strange is that you should have returned to your mother's house, Dongsanjo Hall. Why..."

Zhang Zi stretched out her fingers to stop what Qin Zi was going to say next, she still smiled, but that smile was too helpless and sad for Qin Zi.

"Don't mention it again... this time I'll pretend you never asked..."

"Yes……"

It's not that she won't go back there, but that she won't go back.Because if he goes back, His Royal Highness Zhangzi's biological mother will definitely see through the fact that he is not her child.

Zhang Zi, who was sleeping soundly at night, had an ominous dream for the first time. The child was crying in the deep palace, and a strange woman stood beside him.

"No need, is there only one younger brother?"

The woman squinted her eyes, and there was a cold light in those eyes.

"There's no need for so many maids in the harem! It will make the empress cry!"

When he heard Xiuzi yelling so loudly, Zhang Zi, who was standing not far away, felt a little pain in his heart.After all, she has always treated this little girl as a younger sister, even though she knew that this child resented the female servants who made her mother sad, but from her mouth, she really knew that it was...

"There is no other way if you have a maid, because Her Royal Highness's father is the supreme emperor."

Facing the woman's words, Xiuzi yelled reflexively that he wanted his father not to be an emperor.

You can't say that!Zhang Zi really wanted to yell like this, but no matter how much he yelled, he couldn't make it.She had a hunch that the child's words were the switch for the woman to turn on something.

Still wanting to get closer, Zhang Zi was blinded by the black mist, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't breathe, and squatted down in pain.

Who will come... who will save that child...

Chang Ho...

save her...

The unconscious Zhang Zi was caught by a pair of very warm hands, which stroked Zhang Zi's head and hugged her tightly.

>>>

Because it seems that before being rewritten, Akiko used to be the existence of entering the palace, so now she collapsed even in Abe's house.While listening to Qingming's analysis, Changhao clenched his fists and returned to his room.

Now Zhangzi here is in so much pain, so is it even more painful for Zhangzi in Tuyumen Hall?

Thinking of this, Chang Hao couldn't stop his trembling. He was afraid of Zhang Zi's departure, and he was afraid of this world without Zhang Zi.

"It's fine to go to the Tsuchimikado Temple tomorrow."

Chang Hao raised his head and looked at the monster standing in front of him with his hands on his hips, the fear in his heart receded a little.He nodded and closed his eyes, he decided to go to see Zhang Zi tomorrow no matter what.

But...I didn't expect to come in so smoothly...Although it looks like this...

Looking at the women's attire on her body, and then at the Xue Ling who turned into her grandfather walking beside her, she felt suddenly very tired...

"Well~ Don't worry about these details, it seems that Seimei's entry into the palace hasn't reached here yet."

Xue Ling whispered in his ear, and then greeted the passing maid.

"Now you are my assistant. Your name is Masako. Don't let it out."

"Yes Yes."

Glancing at the giggling monster beside him, Chang Hao followed Xue Ling's footsteps to Zhang Zi's dormitory.Thinking that in order to better form a barrier for the barnacle maid, Xue Ling sent all the maids and attendants to a place a little far away from the bedroom.

When he approached and saw Zhang Zi, Chang Hao's whole heart tugged together, compared to Zhang Zi who lived in Abe's house.Zhang Zi is in a very serious situation now, his brows are frowning together, and he doesn't seem to be at ease, and his slightly opened mouth is still panting.

"It seems that most of the curses are coming from Zhang Zi."

"stamp……"

Because there were no outsiders, Chang Hao knelt down beside Zhang Zi and held her hand. Her hand was very cold now, as if it was a sign of impending death.

"I'm sorry... bear with me a little..."

"Chang Hao..."

The inadvertent murmur made Changhao want to cry, she is suffering and cursed now.But he couldn't do anything now, if he bounced back the curse, then Zhangzi on the other side would definitely die immediately.

The curse must be removed.There is only one way!

Xue Ling sighed and stretched out her hand to Zhang Zi's forehead, a cool spiritual power was transmitted from her fingertips to Zhang Zi's body.This is only as a temporary protection for the moment. The Tuyumen Hall does not have a very strong barrier like at home, so the miasma here is getting thicker and stronger.

"But why, didn't you say that Zhang Zi's spiritual power has dissipated?"

Regarding the monster's words, Xue Ling didn't refute but shook her head.

"I'm back... Zhang Zi's spiritual power has begun to turn..."

While speaking, he waved his hand over the eyes of the monster and Changhao, which made them see completely different scenes.The very serious black mist entered Zhang Zi's body together with the subtle blue spiritual power. Chang Hao wanted to stop it but passed through.

"The blue one is Zhang Zi's spiritual power. I don't know why, but Zhang Zi had this sign when he moved to Tuyumen Hall in early February."

"That chapter..."

"She must be in a state of absorbing those curses now."

A slight groan attracted their attention. Looking at Zhang Zi who opened his eyes slightly, Chang Hao leaned over happily and completely forgot the fact that he was wearing women's clothing.

"Changho...why are you wearing women's clothing?"

When Zhang Zi opened his eyes, he was surprised to notice Chang Hao beside him, but even more surprised was the...clothes he was wearing...

"Uh... I'll explain this to you after the incident is over."

Zhang Zi, who didn't ask much, also nodded weakly. Seeing Chang Hao by her side, all the pressure she had been under for a long time seemed to dissipate, even though it was painful now.She squeezed Changhao's hand weakly, begging.

"Changhao...I saw in my dream...Prince Xiu Zinai."

"His Royal Highness Prince Xiuzi?"

"Hmm...please, save her...that child is suffering...because these things...are caused by that child..."

Chang Hao and the monster opened their eyes wide after hearing Zhang Zi's words.

"Chang Hao, Zhang Zi's dream may be true, after all, she is a child with that bloodline."

And Zhang Zi, who gradually recovered her spiritual power, saw the monster sitting next to Chang Hao as a matter of course. It was such a strange monster, but it made her feel very familiar, very familiar...

"Well... I will save her, so don't worry, Zhang Zi..."

Zhang Zi nodded, and slowly hooked Chang Hao's little finger with his hand.

"I haven't forgotten... I've always believed... Changho, you will protect me."

"Yeah... I won't forget, I will protect you... always..."

Chang Hao's eyes were red, and after watching Zhang Zi fell asleep again, he wiped away the tears that were about to fall and stood up.They couldn't stay here now, after all, it would be bad for the reputation of Zhang Zi who was about to become a queen.After pretending to order a few words, Xue Ling handed some medicine to Zhang Zi's most trusted maid, and then walked out of the Tuyumen Palace with Changhao.

Change Changhao back to his original clothes, and Xue Ling changed back to his original appearance, intending to go back to guard Zhang Zi's side.

"Come on, Seimei's grandson. She trusts you so much, don't let her down."

After saying this, she disappeared in front of Chang Hao. Chang Hao held the sachet on his chest and firmly raised his head and walked towards home with the monster.

——I will protect you forever.

He never forgot this promise, just like she cried like a fragile child in his arms that night, begging him not to leave her side.

So this time he will end all of these things, and let these things that threaten Zhang Zi...

The author has something to say: So in this chapter, Changhao has successfully become Changzi~Sahua

Then this article is from now on Lily~

Strange...

Next, Zhang Zi must be in pain, after all, what comes with spiritual power is the thick curse...

Okay, okay... I want to be my real mother, but why do I feel like I'm going the way of a stepmother? 【Finger to finger】
