When Shen Zhao rescued Xiao Yan, he was thirteen years old, covered in blood, and even his eyes looked like a cub soaked in rain.
It's night in the palace, and the palace is cold and dry by the well. Between the snow and the firelight, she found the boy who was covered in injuries. He seemed to be shaking all over in pain, but he gritted his teeth and refused to make a sound. Shen Zhao knelt down, wrapped his cotton robe around him, and said, "Follow me."
The young man raised his face and said, "Don't come over."
Three months later, the boy put her frozen hand on his heart and said in a hoarse voice during the stage of voice change: "Zhaozhao, wait until I grow up. I will give you whatever you want."
She taught him history, shielded him from knives, and held his frozen feet in her arms during the winter nights in the cold palace. The young man buried himself next to her neck, his voice trembling: "Zhaozhao, don't ever leave me."
Later he ascended the throne and became the feared Emperor Zhaoning.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty said that the new emperor hated the palace maid who was twelve years older than him.
No one knew that he imprisoned her in Changqiu Palace and went to court every day.
She didn't speak, and he stood at the door for half the night. The palace people said that His Majesty hated Aunt Shen so much that he tortured her like this. Only the old eunuch Chang Ning knew that His Majesty would put his face against the door of Changqiu Palace and call out very softly: "Zhaozhao, have you eaten today?"
No one knew that he killed everyone who wanted to harm her, but he didn't even dare not drink the bowl of cold porridge she gave him.
No one even knows that he changed the original name to "Zhaoning" just so that her name, along with the country, could be written into the history of history.
——What he gave her was never a prison. It was made of his bones and blood, and it was the only place that could protect her.
But Shen Zhao knew that all of this was a scam from the beginning.
She saved him in order to exchange his life for her son's life.
And that boy knew everything from the first night.
