[Shaoyin] like a short-lived epiphyllum

The author has something to say: long time no see readers!

I start school...

Today this chapter is officially entering the Tianhu chapter, be happy [Sahua]

It's okay to be abused next, anyway, I'm used to being abused, right→_→...

Well, take it easy!

"It was a good dream."

Zhang Zi lifted the quilt and laughed, Ayako packed the clothes next to her and looked at Zhang Zi who was so happy and exhaled.But... look at the shikigami of Zhang Zi in this world who has been staring at this side from that side.

"Don't stare at me like that, I won't do anything anymore."

"...I know. It's just that the consequences you have caused now, how do you plan to make up for it?"

Ayako's hands paused for a moment, but she immediately began to fold the quilt again.She knew that wrong choice made it her fault that Zhang Zi couldn't be with that boy now.

"The stars have begun to change."

A star next to Beichenxing began to dim, but at the same time she also saw that night, a scene of the future for a moment.It's just a fluke, but she is glad for such an ending, isn't she very cunning.

"I'm going to prepare breakfast, do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat the fried rice you made, Ayako."

"Is it okay to eat such greasy food in the morning?"

"I just want to eat!"

Patting Zhang Zi's forehead, Ayako promised to make it for her later, after all, she is the only one who knows her taste well.Zhang Zi stuck out his tongue, looked at Ling Zi who had gone away, Zhang Zi frowned and stroked his chest.

I don't know why I started to feel uneasy recently, and not long after I returned to Tuyumen Temple, I felt that someone was staring at her recently, like a curse, trying to make her...

"What's wrong?"

Facing Xue Ling's worried eyes, Zhang Zi shook his head and put on the remaining clothes.

"It's just a little uncomfortable all of a sudden, it's okay."

"It's better that way."

Zhang Zi nodded, she also thought so, but recently Qingming's enchantment has begun to be a little distorted.After all, it was just a slight trace, neither Xue Ling nor Ayako had ever noticed this sign.

Spring is over.

Does he still look into the distance with a sad expression?

Is there still no figure of the white monster beside him?

"By the way, Ayako and I discussed whether we should take Aunt Xue and Junko over to serve you."

Although there are letters to convey, Zhang Zi always looks at the place where he lived before every time he reads those letters, which makes Xue Ling very dislike that kind of Zhang Zi.She shouldn't have that expression, it should be a more joyful expression.

"But I have to go back to the palace in early April."

"Too."

It's an uncomfortable feeling to be tied down to everything.

She had to go back to the cold palace in early April, after all, she was already in the middle palace, so she couldn't stay in the Tuyumen Hall, which was a little far away from the palace.And the woman who lives nearby, even if she refuses with different reasons every day, she will realize it sooner or later, after all, she is the biological mother of the princess.

"Has Rinko-sama returned to Higashi Sanjo Hall?"

"Well, it seems to have given up."

"Although I feel sorry for her, this is already the best way."

"Has always been shallow edge, but since the Wife."

When Zhang Zi heard Xue Ling say this, his body who was about to sit down was even more stunned.Her memory was a little messed up, it seemed that someone had said this to her, who was the figure very similar to Xue Ling?

"Since you're here, let's show up."

Zhang Zi came back to his senses and looked at Xue Ling suspiciously, Xue Ling pointed to Zhang Zi's back and said helplessly.

"It seems that you are obsessed with things. Tianyi and Suzaku have been standing there for some time."

After hearing this, Zhang Zi hurriedly turned around and looked at the two generals who had already appeared, missing the familiar look very much.Tianyi was still so beautiful, looking at her with a smile on his dignified and soft face.

"Tianyi, Suzaku, long time no see."

Hearing Zhang Zi call out his name, the already smiling faces of the two god generals softened a bit.

"Long time no see. I haven't seen you all this time. How is life here?"

All the time... yes, since entering the palace, I haven't seen any generals other than him.Especially when she lost her spiritual power and eyes, if her memory hadn't been sealed along with it, she would definitely not be able to bear this cold place.

"I've always wanted to come over and say sorry, if only I had arrived earlier at that time."

Zhang Zi knew what Tianyi was guilty of, but it had nothing to do with her.Zhang Zi walked up to Tian Yi, held her hand, raised his head and said with a smile to her.

"I'm here, it's warm."

Tianyi opened his eyes slightly, but stopped talking, but the unstoppable tears showed his mood at this time.This is the Twelve God General Tianyi who is easily touched by emotions. At that time, she watched the girl disappear before her eyes. That memory is something she never wants to see again.

Although when Qingming came to the Tuyumen Palace later, what he saw was Xue Ling's pretended existence.

"Yes, very warm."

When was the last time I touched this child, as if I just picked her up yesterday.

After that, Zhang Zi and Tian Yi talked for a long time in the room, during which Suzaku would interject a sentence about Chang Hao.Xue Ling had already gone to the kitchen to talk to Ayako, after all, breakfast can't be left there all the time to cool down.

Tianyi and Suzaku handed Qingming's letter to Zhang Zi before leaving, and then left incognito so as not to disturb her.

"Akiko-sama is really strong."

After returning to Abe's house, Tianyi suddenly said this.

"Master Mingming and Master Changhao..."

"Tiangui..."

"Why did fate torture the two of them like this. It's so unfair."

Tianyi and Suzaku could see clearly the look in Changhao's eyes during the conversation, the child who will enter a courtyard in early April will soon become the existence of the Empress of the Central Palace.Tianyi covered his eyes, trying not to cry as much as possible, which made Suzaku on the side feel sorry for his lover.

He hugged Tianyi's shoulders in his arms.He has always known that when the child moved into Abe's house that day, they all acquiesced that she was a child of this family, and promised Qingming to take care of her when she was free.

Although Princess Zhangzi looks so similar to her, the only ones who can listen to Qingming to take care of her are those who are familiar with Changhao.Tianhou didn't show up to take care of Her Royal Highness, probably part of the reason was related to Zhang Zi.

>>>

"gone?"

"Um."

Zhang Zi, who was holding the letter, nodded, and Ayako placed the breakfast beside Zhang Zi.

"Grandpa Qingming said that Changhao will be back soon, and told me not to worry."

"Is that so, is there anything uncomfortable?"

"Hmm... probably not."

After putting the letter in the envelope and handing it to Ayako, Akiko was about to pick up the meal and heard a light shout when he was about to pick up the meal.

"Long time no see! Your Royal Highness!"

"No, it should be Empress Zhonggong now!"

Zhang Zi raised his head and saw the little monster waving in the yard. Zhang Zi was stunned for a moment before realizing it. After all, he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"Can we go in?"

"We'll tell you a lot about our grandson!"

"After all, we've met him many times!"

"These little monsters..."

Zhang Zi smiled helplessly at Xue Ling who was gnashing his teeth, nodded and agreed to let them in, but he only let in the designated three or four monsters.There are two youkai who live near Abe's house, and two youkai who live near the place where they used to live.

"If you guys want to do something, I'll make you look good!"

With majestic golden eyes, Xue Ling stared at the four little monsters and said.

"The Twelve God Generals were here just now, so I didn't dare to come out."

"That's right, but why are you here, Your Highness?"

"Yeah, yeah, it should be the grandson's future wife in Abe House!"

"That's right! But what's really surprising is that when we went to see it that day, we thought it was His Highness!"

"Although I'm not as timid as Jolai."

Listening to the conversation of these four little monsters, Zhang Zi tilted his head.Logically speaking, father should cut off all this information to prevent being seen through, why do these little monsters still know that she is not [Zhang Zi].

Probably seeing Zhang Zi's puzzled look, the ape demon explained to her enthusiastically.

"Although they look similar, they feel different."

The unicorn nodded and continued.

"That's right, just look at your grandson's reaction and think about it for a while!"

"We can clearly see grandson's feelings for His Highness and the princess over there!"

"It seems that the blind spot is that Seimei's grandson."

Xue Ling flicked her tail and said nothing, Zhang Zi smiled and said nothing, but it could be seen from the hand tightly clutching her sleeve that she was flustered now.Afterwards, the ghosts talked a lot about what happened to Changhao during the night patrol, and of course the famous "Mount Tai overwhelmed". Although I was a little sorry for Changhao, Zhang Zi really wanted to see this scene.

Zhang Zi, who laughed unconsciously, made the miscellaneous ghosts very proud. After all, they had been observing here for several days, and Zhang Zi who didn't smile was the one they saw the most.

"Thank you for telling me this, is there anything you want to eat?"

"Yes! The rice cakes in the first month are delicious!"

"That's right, it's really delicious!"

From the nostalgic look on his face, Zhang Zi knew what they wanted to eat, and turned to look at Ayako.Ayako nodded helplessly and stood up to prepare, but Zhangzi looked at her breakfast again when she saw them. Anyway, now she felt that after hearing so much, it was almost noon, so she gave them breakfast first.

"Sure enough, Your Highness is the best!"

"That's right! Fried rice is delicious too!"

"You guys...don't bully Zhangzi all the time!"

"We will not bully Your Highness!"

The four monsters stared at by Xue Ling all pretended to be confused, pretending that they hadn't done anything.Such a scene made Zhang Zi laugh out loud again, after all, this is a scene he hasn't seen for a long time.

It seems that there are still some rice cakes that were just made some time ago, so Ayako asked the servants to carry two large lunch boxes and put them in the room.After the servants retreated, they stopped the miscellaneous monsters when they were about to take them.

"I can give it to you, but you have to do me a favor."

"What's busy?"

"Help me see how Master Akiko is doing now."

Ayako knew that she wanted to know what happened to the princess over there, so she stopped them from taking it.

"Yeah, we got it!"

Seeing them nodding like pounding garlic, Zhang Zi also asked them to take the things away.However, the moment she stood up, her eyes fell into darkness, which frightened Ayako, Xue Ling and the miscellaneous monsters holding lunch boxes.

"stamp!"

Before the last consciousness dissipated, Zhang Zi heard the worried voices of Ayako and the others.He will definitely be punished next time he wakes up, after all, he has been hiding it for so long.

>>>

The news of the collapse of the barnacle palace soon spread to Qingming, but what he really didn't expect was that those miscellaneous monsters would tell His Highness Zhangzi about it, which gave him a bit of a headache.

After appeasing Zhangzi's mood, Qingming promised her that tomorrow she would go to pray for Empress Zhonggong so that she could go back to sleep with peace of mind.

"Master Seimei, what happened to Master Zhangzi?"

The azure blue eyes of Tianyi, who showed up, were full of worry. He had clearly seen that girl not long ago. Although her skin was fair but healthy, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her. Why did she suddenly collapse? .

"The astrology shows that something is approaching Zhang Zi. It may be because of this reason. I will go to see the specifics tomorrow. You and Suzaku will appease His Highness Zhang Zi tomorrow."

Before Tianyi opened her mouth, Qingming stopped her request to come. After all, most of the generals that His Highness Zhangzi was familiar with followed Changhao to Izumo.

"...I've been thinking about it before."

The gray eyes of the white tiger that appeared looked at Qingming.

"Although the princess change is deliberately hidden from the people in the harem, I'm afraid I can't hide it from my relatives!"

Seimei nodded, got up and walked to her room.

"Sooner or later, I have to find an opportunity to talk to Lord Lunzi. After all, she is my biological mother. It is not easy to see something strange when we meet."

"Michijo Fujiwara should have thought of this."

"It's too late to think about these things at that time, go to bed early, I have to go to see Zhang Zi tomorrow."

The old man took off his jacket and put it aside, and lay down under the blanket.

Tianyi and Suzaku had no choice but to go back to Zhangzi's room, and Baihu also reluctantly disappeared, and Qingming was younger than them.

The next day Qingming changed into the straight clothes she wore when she went out and got on the bullock cart sent from the Tuyumen Palace. The miscellaneous monster must have told Xue Ling over there, so it was obviously unnecessary.

"It seems that your general has a violent temper."

Ayako came out to greet Qingming with a white fox on her shoulder. Qingming already knew a thing or two from Xueling, so she also knew the identity of the girl in front of her.

"Don't tease him, be careful he is really angry."

【Qingming! 】

"Hehe, come with me."

In order for Seimei to better observe Zhang Zi's situation, Ayako ordered the maid, maid and family secretary to work elsewhere early in the morning.At this time, Zhang Zi was lying on a bed with a curtain hanging on the east side of the sleeping hall.

As Ayako walked into the wing room, Qingming sat beside Zhangzi, looking at the faint panting sound and the sickly pale complexion, Qingming's eyes flashed with distress.It was also because of him that she suffered so much. He could have allowed her to live the life she wanted more normally.

"Zhangzi, it's me, Seimei."

"Ah...Grandpa Seimei..."

Qingming bowed her head slightly to salute, while the invisible Tianhou beside her covered her mouth to hold back the tears that wanted to burst out of her eyes, Qinglong just frowned.

This familiar voice has not been heard for a long time, no, they have heard another voice exactly like hers.

【Why did you become so fragile, Mr. Zhang Zi...】

The wrinkles at the corners of Qingming's eyes deepened.

"Is your condition serious?"

Zhang Zi, who opened his eyes in a daze, took a few breaths and answered.

"Hmm... you can bear it a little longer... Don't show... such an expression..."

After hearing her voice, Tianhou appeared with Seimei's permission, holding the somewhat cold hands protruding from the bed, she replied with a smile.

"Well, I won't show that expression."

It's been a long time since I touched this kid.

"Hmm... Master Akiko... are you alright?"

"...Well—His Highness Akiko is also very good."

"Really……"

Zhang Zi then coughed a little more, and his panting got worse.Both Tianhou and Qingming knew that such a short conversation was extremely exhausting for her.

"Then I'll come back another day. With Grandpa Seimei here, you don't have to worry about anything."

The girl smiled slightly and then fell asleep.

Tianhou put her hands back under the quilt, and they followed Qingming to the corridor.

"How could she be so weak with the two of you there?"

After Ayako and Xue Ling looked at each other, they spoke.

"Recently, I don't know why I felt a cold gaze. That feeling is familiar to the blood of the sky fox in my body, so I neglected it, and it also caused a slight distortion of the barrier."

"Seimei, you should also be careful, this seems to have a purpose."

When Qingming was about to nod his head in agreement, a white flash in his mind burned his retinas, and he staggered a few times.

"Master Seimei!"

Holding Seimei up, Ayako looked at him worriedly.

In the chest cavity, the burning sensation is hot.

"Are you all right?"

Qingming's face was very pale. He took a deep breath, but the air he inhaled sharply hurt his lungs, and the burning sensation in his chest became more intense.

It was very difficult to breathe.

[Master Seimei, cheer up! 】

Qingming smiled slightly at the screaming Tianhou.

I'm sorry, Zhang Zi just said that he didn't want you to show such an expression...

Shouting for Kesi to come over loudly, Ayako stroked Seimei's back to ease his pain a little, and then sent him into the house with the shocked Kesi.

"He did come."

"he?"

"The sinner who killed the compatriots of the Sky Fox clan."
