Crossing, strategy, picking up morals

× Chapter 22

After this sleep, I don't know how many more days of sleep, when Lisan woke up, he still saw the empty golden cage of the palace, and it was impossible to tell when and what day it was.

Sitting up with one hand propped up, the whole body was limp and lacking strength, the food had already been taken away, only a bowl of clear water was placed in that place, Li San already felt his mouth dry, so he walked over and stretched out his hand to fetch it, unexpectedly, it was halfway there, With a numb wrist, the jade bowl filled with water fell to the ground. It spun around on the brocade a few times, and the clear water was sprinkled on the satin quilt, moistening a large piece of it all at once.

Li San licked his chapped lips with the tip of his tongue, slowly changed his position and sat down again.

Since he practiced martial arts since he was a child, Li San's heart is quite firm, so the days of cross-legged meditation don't seem too difficult.

After a few days like this, Luo Qingzhe finally came again, this time he brought a few red satin robes with wide sleeves and narrow breasts and a few plates of food, the golden cage was removed, and he put the things in front of Li San, Watching Li San, who was already hungry and dizzy, gobble up his food.

"Are you full?" Luo Qingzhe squatted beside Li San, stroking Li San's head with his warm palm.

Li San had been hungry for a long time, and felt sleepy again as soon as she filled her stomach. When Luo Qingzhe asked a question, she just let out a helpless 'hmm'.

"If you hang on for a while longer, the king will definitely let you out." Luo Qingzhe withdrew his hand, looked at Li San's hazy eyes, and said with a chuckle, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, Ben. The king will come again."

When Li Sanyi heard that Luo Qingzhe was going to leave, he subconsciously stood up and saluted, but his body was so tired that he couldn't get up from the ground until Luo Qingzhe left.

A long time passed in such a chaotic state, Luo Qingzhe never came again, only a deaf-mute old servant was sent to take care of Li San's food and clothing, and after a while, the old servant disappeared , Luo Qingzhe, who hadn't seen him for a long time, began to appear frequently.

Another day, Luo Qingzhe leaned into Li San's ear and said, "The spring is just right outside, my king will take you around the imperial garden."

Li San, who hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, was dull for a long time before he could discern the meaning of those words, nodded in response, and was led by Luo Qingzhe through the long dark corridor to Qianqing Palace.

When Luo Qingzhe helped Li San out of Qianqing Palace, Li San shrank reflexively - he hadn't seen the sun for too long.

Luo Qingzhe grabbed him tightly, with a cold smile in his eyes, and tightened his hands reassuringly.

Li San followed Luo Qingzhe for a while before realizing something was wrong. The harem is important, they walked all the way, but they didn't see a maid in the palace!Li San asked in a hoarse voice, "My lord, in the palace..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Qingzhe interrupted, "I have dismissed those idle people, so as not to disturb our pleasure of visiting the garden."

Li San only felt that there were hooks in the prince's eyes, which caught his mind several times, so he hurriedly responded, and lowered his head, not daring to look again.

When entering the imperial garden, one can see the splendid scene of blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies.

The open bowl-sized peony blossoms are very luxurious, attracting butterflies to pass through the flowers from time to time, but Lisan is because of the long-term smell of the fragrance of the underground palace, and the place is surrounded by flowers, and there is no fragrance at all. Even so, Li San didn't want to disturb the prince's interest in visiting the garden and admiring the flowers, so he stood aside and watched quietly.

Luo Qingzhe grabbed his wrist and refused to let go, from time to time he picked a few unknown but very beautiful flowers and stuffed them in Li San's hands, asking, "Li San, do you think this flower looks good?"

Li Sanyi, a martial artist, can't say that he appreciates flowers, but when he saw Luo Qingzhe folded them and stuffed them in his hands, he all responded and said they were beautiful.

Luo Qingzhe smiled, "If Li San likes it, I will ask Li San to see you every day from now on."

Li Sanyi was stunned for a while, but after thinking about it, the prince might have just made a joke on the spur of the moment, and he forgot it immediately, so he didn't take it to heart.

Luo Qingzhe pulled Li San through the flower path, turning his head to say something to him from time to time, Li San felt as if several boulders were pressed on his chest, and it was getting heavier and heavier, making him barely able to breathe.

"Li San, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Li San's pale face, Luo Qingzhe stopped and asked.

Li San put his hands on his chest, "I'm fine with this slave."

"You have such an ugly face, and you still say you're fine!" Luo Qingzhe scolded a little more, put an arm around Li San's waist, and straightened him up, "I will send you back to rest."

Li San was inexplicably afraid to go back to the underground palace, and shook his head repeatedly, "Slave is fine, slave..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a cold light by chance, and his decades of experience in blocking shadow guards made him instantly aware of what it was. As soon as the vest went numb, his mind sank.

"Lisan! Lisan!" Luo Qingzhe's voice rang close to his ears, Lisan grabbed Luo Qingzhe's cold hand, and said with the last of his strength, "My lord, there are assassins..." After finishing speaking, Without waiting for Luo Qingzhe to say anything else, he fainted as soon as he tilted his head.

Seeing Li San fainted in his arms, Luo Qingzhe stood up with a gloomy expression. The man in black who had injured Li San with a hidden weapon just now knelt on one knee in front of Luo Qingzhe, "Emperor..."

Luo Qingzhe raised his hand to stop his words, "You did a good job, go down."

The man nodded and said yes, with a tap of his toes, he disappeared in stealth.

Luo Qingzhe turned his head to look at Li San on the ground, a trace of intolerance finally appeared on his handsome, almost monstrous face, but that intolerance was quickly replaced by determination.

Li San is just a character in this game, and as a player, all he needs is...to get rid of them.

Luo Qingzhe stretched out his hand to help Li San up, bearing most of his body's weight, and walked towards Qianqing Palace with his eyes downcast.

Stockholm syndrome is to erase all his perception of the outside world, and then burn himself into his world to become his only one.

People can be domesticated...

And this is just the first step in domestication.
