Chapter 213 The Evil King's temperament changes drastically?
"Then go back and have some sleep. I have booked a room for you next door. Have a good rest and recharge your energy. Tomorrow morning, I will personally lead you into the imperial city." Jiang Yimo admonished him earnestly.
Xiaoxi listened to her words, lowered his eyes to look at her, turned around and walked towards the next room without hesitation.
The slightly cold and silent night passed quietly.
When the first ray of sunshine shines on the earth, a new day has come.
Xiaoxi woke up from his sleep, got out of bed, and felt refreshed, as if his whole body was full of strength. Last night was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had in his life.
At this moment, he was excitedly and expectantly waiting to go to the imperial city with Jiang Yimo.
The waiter knew that Xiaoxi had stood up, so he hurriedly brought him a basin of water and carefully taught him how to wash and clean his face.
After Xiaoxi finished washing up, she couldn't wait to run to the door of Jiang Yimo's room and waited.
Jiang Yimo woke up early today. The waiter brought her a basin of water, but she did not use the water that the waiter had prepared for her. Instead, she went into her space.
She first rinsed her mouth carefully to clean her oral hygiene, and then washed her face meticulously. Not only that, she also took advantage of this leisure time to do some careful facial skin care.
Because with the quiet arrival of autumn, the climate gradually becomes cooler and slightly drier.
However, during this period, she had been rushing on the road non-stop for several days and had no time to take care of her skin, so her delicate and fair cheeks felt slightly dry.
When she opened the door, dressed carefully and appropriately, she immediately saw Xiaoxi waiting outside.
He must be afraid that I would slip away alone, so he is waiting here so early.
"Xiao Xi, why did you get up so early?" Jiang Yimo asked with a smile.
Xiaoxi nodded slightly in response to hear this, indicating her agreement.
Then, he said timidly but with great excitement, "We...we are going to enter the imperial city."
"Okay!" Jiang Yimo answered readily, "Then let's go! But before that, it's better to go downstairs and have a delicious breakfast to replenish your energy." After that, she took the lead and walked towards the stairs.
Jiang Yimo hurriedly ate some simple breakfast, while Xiaoxi showed great interest and novelty in the food.
He seemed to have never tasted such exquisite and delicious food and enjoyed the satisfaction brought by every bite.
Seeing Xiaoxi wolfing down the food, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but feel curious.
She began to imagine what kind of food Xiaoxi ate when she lived in the mountains? Did she eat raw flesh and blood like wild animals, or did she cook it over fire?
While thinking, Jiang Yimo observed Xiaoxi. She saw him stuffing various snacks and buns into his mouth with a happy smile on his face.
I don’t know how he lived in the mountains before.
The more Jiang Yimo read, the more doubts she had in her mind. She decided to ask Xiaoxi about his life experience in the mountains and his eating habits. After all, knowing a person's past can help you better understand his current behavior and thoughts.
"Xiao Xi, what did you eat in the mountains before?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xi's hands suddenly stopped moving. She stared blankly ahead with empty eyes, and her thoughts seemed to drift back to the days when she lived in the mountains.
After a long time, Xiaoxi slowly came back to her senses. She lowered her head and said softly: "In the past... there was an old... grandfather who taught... me how to hunt and how to barbecue, but... but he asked me to help him guard the cabin at the entrance of their cave." Xiaoxi's voice was a little choked, and her speech became intermittent.
Jiang Yimo's heart softened when she saw this. She patted Xiaoxi's shoulder gently and comforted her, "It's okay, Xiaoxi, talk slowly." Then she continued to ask, "What about your parents?" These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Xiaoxi's heart, making her tremble all over.
Xiaoxi's lips were trembling slightly, tears welling up in his eyes. He tried hard to control his emotions and answered in a sobbing voice, "No... I don't know. I... I have never... seen my parents. I just... knew Grandpa Yu. Later... Yu... Grandpa Yu died." At the end, Xiaoxi couldn't resist and burst into tears. The cry was as sad as a broken-string harp and it was heartbreaking.
"Okay, Xiaoxi is over. I won't ask you anymore. Don't cry."
Jiang Yimo felt very uncomfortable after hearing his words, so she didn't ask any more questions.
After finishing their breakfast, they immediately rushed to the gate of the imperial city.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yimo and Xiaoxi finally arrived at the gate of the Evil King's mansion.
When the four guards standing guard at the gate of the evil king's mansion first saw Jiang Yimo appear in front of them, they all rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating and had seen the wrong person. But when they confirmed that it was indeed Jiang Yimo who had returned, one of the guards immediately ran towards the mansion, obviously to run in and report the good news to the evil king...
After all, ever since Miss Jiang left the city without permission from the palace, their prince's temperament changed drastically, becoming increasingly cruel and violent, punishing or killing people at will, making them, the servants, trembling in fear and treading on thin ice all day long. Such a life of fear is really too torturous.
Now, everyone in the Evil King's Mansion is looking forward to Miss Jiang, hoping that she can return soon, so that their prince can return to his normal state.
At this moment, the other three guards standing at the gate of the mansion showed extreme enthusiasm and greeted Jiang Yimo one after another: "Miss Jiang! You are finally back! Come in quickly! The prince is in the mansion now..." One of the guards could not contain his inner curiosity and joy, and added.
Facing these enthusiastic guards, Jiang Yimo responded with a faint smile and briefly introduced Xiaoxi's identity and background to them.
The three guards did not ask too many questions about the details, but let them pass readily, allowing Jiang Yimo and Xiaoxi to enter the palace smoothly.
When Jiang Yimo was strolling along the corridor of the palace garden, she saw a familiar figure from afar - Feng Wuhen.
He stood as tall as a pine tree, quietly standing in front of a row of neatly arranged roses, with his back to her. Without having to think too much, Jiang Yimo immediately understood that Feng Wuhen was deliberately waiting for her to come back.
