Chapter 56 The whole person is glowing!

Zhao Zize closed his eyes slightly, letting the cold wind whistle past, like a slap in the face.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. The snow was unusually quiet, with only the cold wind and the occasional bird calls on the branches.

There was a rustling sound in my ears, which became less and less.

Zhao Zize closed his eyes and smiled bitterly in his heart.

It's okay to leave.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl standing not far away holding a blanket. The blanket was extremely thick and covered half of her face.

"You...didn't leave?" Zhao Zize asked in a trembling voice.

"No, I'll get you a blanket." Xihe came over with a blanket in her arms, covered Zhao Zize with it, and wrapped him tightly. "Who told you not to get up?"

The little girl squatted in front of Zhao Zizhe, her chin resting on her hand in a daze.

After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Fifth Brother, are you going to lock yourself up just because your leg is broken?"

While picking up the blanket, Xihe recalled the description of the fifth prince in the original book.

Emperor Jingyuan did issue an order that no one could visit the Fifth Prince without being summoned, but... this order was actually requested by Zhao Zize himself.

He drew a circle on the ground to make a prison.

The ink in Zhao Zize's eyes gradually faded away, returning to an indifferent look. However, if you look closely, you will find that hidden beneath the indifference is endless pain and self-abandonment.

"Xihe, do you know how important a pair of legs is to a man?" Zhao Zize spoke to someone calmly, "I can only watch them ride horses, shoot arrows, gallop on the battlefield, and make decisions in the court. But what about me..."

Zhao Zizhe's voice was extremely hoarse. "I can't even stand up. Since I was born, they have taken care of me like a fragile vase. I can only watch them go to school, go out together, and run around in envy. I can only stay in Min Yi Palace forever and live a miserable life. Countless times! Countless times, I wanted to kill myself! End my own miserable life!"

Xihe pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice: "But Fifth Brother is still very strong and survived, isn't he?"

Zhao Zizhe suddenly laughed miserably, "Strong? This is simply a huge joke!"

All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away, "Xihe, I live not for myself, but for my father!"

"Because of father?" The little girl blinked and didn't respond for a long time.

"Yes!" He sat up slowly and said word by word, "I am the only shame in his heroic deeds, so I must live, live well. As long as I live, he will always have this stain! I want him to remember for the rest of his life how my mother died! And how I became what I am now!"

Xihe thought for a long time and finally figured it out. She said something very difficult to say, "Fifth brother, you hate daddy."

"Shouldn't I hate him?" Zhao Zize showed a smile that was uglier than crying. "My mother was killed by the late queen, and he remained silent. I broke my leg, and he took advantage of the situation and locked me up. Xihe, let me ask you, shouldn't I hate him?"

Zhao Zizhe seemed to have used up all his strength, and shouted out the words that he had kept hidden in his heart for many years.

Xihe leaned over and leaned on Zhao Zizhe's shoulder. After a pause, she replied, "But fifth brother, maybe daddy loves you."

Zhao Zizhe seemed to have heard a joke. His eyes wandered for a moment before returning to silence again. "Impossible."

"Why isn't it possible?"

Xihe remembered that Emperor Jingyuan had once told her the truth that had been buried.

The one who killed Liu Zhaoyi was not the late queen, but her cousin, Concubine Hua De, who was favored by the emperor at that time.

When Emperor Jingyuan found out the truth, Concubine Hua De could not hold on any longer. Without her identification, it would be impossible to convict Concubine Hua De. Later, the former queen died, and the Hua family did not want to lose another imperial concubine, so they traded half of their property and the position of a border guard with Emperor Jingyuan to save Concubine Hua De.

In order to protect the border, Tianshuo fought for too long, and the entire country was basically an empty shell. In order to preserve the country's destiny, Emperor Jingyuan agreed to the Hua family's request.

But he never forgot about Liu Zhaoyi. In the third year after Tian Shuo recovered, he found an excuse to secretly execute Concubine Hua De.

Perhaps because he felt guilty towards Zhao Zizhe, when Zhao Zizhe proposed to stay in Minyi Palace and not go out, Emperor Jingyuan agreed to his wish.

Xihe remembered the slightly lonely look on Emperor Jingyuan's face when he talked about this matter. He said, "Xihe, Daddy is not a good father. He once abandoned you in the cold palace and was not kind to your brothers and sisters. When I wanted to make amends, I found that you were the only one left by my side."

Emperor Jingyuan's endless love for Xihe was, on the one hand, because he really liked this child, and on the other hand, he turned his guilt towards his other children into love and placed it on Xihe.

"If you have time, go visit your fifth brother more often. Maybe he will feel better."

Xihe always remembered what Emperor Jingyuan said, so no matter how cruel Zhao Zize was to her, she would not abandon him.

Zhao Zizhe hugged the blanket and remained silent for a long time.

After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "So father... doesn't he think I'm a disgrace?"

Xihe shook her head seriously, "Daddy never felt that way. Instead, he felt that he was too late to deal with it and hurt your feelings."

Although Emperor Jingyuan did not love these children very much, he never disliked any of them.

Zhao Zhinan treated the brothel like his own, but Emperor Jingyuan didn't say anything. Instead, he dealt with those who had ruined Zhao Zhinan's reputation.

"Then why doesn't he come to see me?" Zhao Zhinan had been sulking with Emperor Jingyuan for several years. It was like a string that had been broken for too long and suddenly broke. He just felt exhausted.

Xihe thought for a moment and said, "Maybe he thinks you don't want to see him."

These two father and son are more twisted than each other.

If one is not allowed to come, the other will really not come.

Each felt that the other hated him.

"Fifth brother, how about I push you to Yuanyang Palace now? I think father has finished discussing it." Xihe made a suggestion, quite eager to try.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Zize shook his head, "Xihe, I... am too embarrassed to see my father, and my legs..."

After all, these legs are Zhao Zizhe's biggest concern.

"What if these legs are healed?" Xihe suddenly pulled back the blanket and stared at the legs intently.

As the warmth disappeared, a cold wind suddenly blew in, and Zhao Zize couldn't help but shiver.

Then he smiled bitterly, looking a little lonely, "It's impossible. The master of the Imperial Hospital has already made the decision. It will never be cured in this lifetime."

"He can't do it, but I can!"

Xihe has confidence in herself. Besides, if she can't cure the disease, she still has the medicine pavilion and the sacred tree in her hands. She can put them all on top of it and she doesn't believe that the disease can't be cured!

Zhao Zize looked up and met the little girl's smiling eyes, his pink lips slightly raised.

She had her back to the sun, the warm sunlight blooming behind her, and her whole body was glowing!
