As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 186 Nightmare
Xie Zhaozhao replied quickly and rubbed his face before turning around.

Yun Qi didn't insist on doing anything. He watched Xie Zhaozhao make tea for him carefully and put the stove in his arms.

He felt that the relationship between him and Xie Zhaozhao now was like the relationship between him and Xie Zhaozhao when he was a boy, but there was a clear difference between him and Xie Zhaozhao back then.

He secretly asked himself, does this mean they like each other and are in tune with each other?
Xie Zhaozhao asked him about training in the military camp.

Yun Qi put away his random thoughts and had a casual chat with her.

Xie Zhaozhao has been traveling on the battlefield since she was a child and is very familiar with things in the army. When Yun Qi chatted with her, there was no problem no matter what she said. Xie Zhaozhao understood everything with just a few random sentences.

Yun Qi felt that being with her always made him feel at ease.

It was already late, so Xie Zhaozhao stayed with Yunqi for dinner.

During the meal, Xie Zhaozhao asked Yun Qi intentionally or unintentionally about his favorite colors, patterns, etc.

Yun Qi raised his eyebrows: "Why do you ask this?"

"Whatever." Xie Zhaozhao stared at him: "Do you like gold or pearls? The texture of clothes, do you like cranes or unicorns?"

Yun Qi secretly thought: Could it be that she asked this because she wanted to dress it up for him and get her way?
It is said that a woman likes her appearance. Xie Zhaozhao asked him so seriously that he liked her... but it made his heart feel as sweet as honey.

In fact, he thinks Xie Zhaozhao is good-looking no matter what.

But at this time he still answered her seriously.

"I like pearls and jade." Yun Qi said, "I don't like gold and silver. As for the texture..."

He glanced at the flowers and plants on Xie Zhaozhao's skirt and said with a warm smile: "Flowers and birds."

Xie Zhaozhao was a little surprised: "Do you like flowers, plants and birds?"

"Yeah." Yun Qi nodded, "Why not?"

Xie Zhaozhao said "yes" silently and wrote down his preference.

After he left, Xie Zhaozhao looked at the clothes he had prepared and hesitated slightly.

The embroidered pattern on the sleeves of this dress is a golden crane, which is full of nobility and fits Yun Qi's identity.

As for the hem and collar of the robe, there are Ruyi patterns.

When she was doing it, she prepared according to the styles she often wore when she was with Yun Qi in her previous life.

I just asked him what he likes, and I just wanted to be able to choose the direction when it comes to matching the crown. It turns out that he likes birds and flowers?
That was completely contrary to the outfit she made.

Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but mutter.

It's rare for a man to like birds, flowers and plants. Why is his hobby so unique?

Xie Zhaozhao looked at the clothes and crown in front of him, thought about it for a while, and finally chose the purple gold crown that better matched the color of the clothes.

As for Yun Qi's preferences, she just pretended not to hear them.

She had been preparing this gift for more than half a month. She had to give it to him whether he liked it or not. At worst, he might give it something with embroidered grass and birds next time.

Xie Zhaozhao sealed the gift while thinking about it. There was a thought flashing in his heart that something was not right, but it was not too important in the end and he did not think about it deeply.

In addition to being busy with business, Yun Qi occasionally looks forward to Xie Zhaozhao's changes after asking about his "preferences."

But both of them were busy with other things, and they didn't see each other for several days.

Nowadays, the Xie family is not as good as before, and the Dou family and her daughter have offended King Liang. The mourning hall is set up, but not a single person comes to express condolences.

As for the ladies who the Dou family originally met, they are now hiding as far away as possible.

Even in front of Xie's house, no one dared to hang out.

Xie Zhaozhao had no special reaction.

At the beginning, the Xie family's holy favor was like a bustling house.

Nowadays, the house is a little desolate, so it is inevitable that the family will be left in the cold, it is just a common thing.

No one has come to the Jiangnan Dou family.Letters were sent to Xie Wei and Xie Changzhi, the second roommate.

Xie Wei left Beijing on the emperor's order and was destined to never come back.

As for Xie Changzhi... it would take more than a month to travel from Kyoto to the border to deliver the message, and it would take him about twenty days to return day and night.

So Hongxiu came with the housekeeper to ask for instructions on what to do next.

Nowadays, the Qin Dynasty still follows the etiquette of the previous dynasty, and the deceased is buried for seven days.

Tomorrow will be the seventh day. Should we go to the funeral now or continue to wait for the funeral?

"Let's have a funeral."

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "It seems that the Dou family members are afraid to come. As for my cousin——"

Although Dou and Xie Xingchen were despicable and vicious, Xie Changzhi, the second wife, had been stationed at the border with his eldest and second brother since he was a child, and his feelings for Dou and his daughter were very weak.

After Xie Zhaozhao died in his previous life, his soul floated around Yun Qi. When he saw him avenging himself, Dou once said.

Back then, she sent several letters home to Xie Changzhi, asking him to leave the border and abandon his eldest and second brothers to find them in Danzhou in the south.

However, Xie Changzhi ignored him and stayed to defend his father with his eldest and second brothers. In the end, he died at the hands of King Liang.

Things are easy for people in this life. Dou's mother and daughter died, but Xie Changzhi survived.

"Let's talk about it if he comes back."

Xie Zhaozhao lowered his eyes and said, "The funeral will take place tomorrow at the right time."

That night, Xie Zhaozhao had a dream, which was filled with tragedy in his previous life.

When I woke up, the house was dark, and the watchman's banging could be heard outside the courtyard. It was only the second watch.

It had been a long time since she had dreamed about her past life, let alone such a vivid dream.

It was obviously a dream, but Xie Zhaozhao saw his father being skinned by the executioner, his sister being trampled by a horse while defending his father, her body lying on the street with no eyes open, her mother hanging from the tower, and her brother revealed one by one.

She felt pain as if her shoulder blades were being torn apart, the skin and flesh all over her body seemed to have been chopped off with knives, and her hair was pulled off her scalp...

All the nightmares deep in my heart surfaced in this dark night.

It was obviously very warm in the room, but Xie Zhaozhao felt cold all over. He couldn't help but grab the quilt, wrap himself tightly, and his breathing became tight.

At this moment, there was a crackling sound on the edge of the window.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned and immediately got out of bed to get the sword hanging on the side. However, when he saw the figure jumping through the window, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Did I wake you up?"

Yun Qi was dressed in a wide-sleeved outfit and had a handsome figure. He stopped a few steps away from Xie Zhaozhao, "Sorry, I've been too busy lately and I haven't had time to come over. I just finished my work today, and I -"

Because he missed her so much, even if he climbed through the window at night and did such an ungentleman thing, he would still come and have a look.

Yun Qi had a sarcastic smile on his face, thinking that she might be making fun of him again, when he suddenly heard a snapping sound.

Xie Zhaozhao hung the sword back on the pillar.

She took two steps forward and fell into Yun Qi's arms so unexpectedly, "Ah Qi."

Yun Qi was stunned, and put his hands around Xie Zhaozhao's shoulders. He obviously felt that she was not in the right mood, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Zhaozhao didn't speak, but held his hand tightly around Yun Qi's waist.

Yun Qi also fell silent, patting Xie Zhaozhao on the back and comforting her silently.

After a while, he took Xie Zhaozhao's hand over, put it on his chest, and asked softly: "Do you miss me?"

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao smelled the familiar and reassuring scent on his body and said angrily: "What do you want, you, a little thief who climbed over the wall to break into the house?"
