For some reason, this shrunken version of Shen Li cried so hard that his heart melted. This aggrieved appearance and his usual coldness and alienation were two extreme contrasts.

Jin Zhao took a step closer, squatted down, and even his voice slowed down, "They didn't want you, they love you very much, so why would they want you?"

He heard his niece talk about Shen Li's background before, and he remembered a little bit. The first emperor loved his mother and concubine very much, and loved him very much.To the bottom of his heart, the two people who loved him so suddenly left, how could he bear it when he was still a teenager.

"Then why didn't they take me with them? Leave me here alone...I'm really scared."

The crying boy's voice made Jin Zhao's heart go limp in an instant. He reached out and touched his head, "They also want to be with you, but they want you to live more."

"But I live alone... There will always be people who will trouble me, and no one will protect me..."

"When you grow up, you will be able to protect yourself, and you will...live the way they want..."

Xiao Shenli didn't say anything, just looked at him half-understood, and forgot to blink with those ignorant eyes.

Jin Zhao wiped his tears with his hand, smiled, and said, "Remember, you must work hard to live."

Xiao Shenli blinked his watery eyes, held his thumb, and looked at him sincerely, "Who are you? Why... say such things to me? They are all far away from me, and won't say these things to me.”

Jin Zhao was at a loss for words for a while, and said, "The person who really cares about your life and death, you live...I can live."

Xiao Shenli naturally didn't understand, the tip of his nose was red from crying, and he looked very pitiful, "Why would anyone care..."

Jin Zhao gently held the back of his head, brought him into his arms, and stroked his hair, "No one else knows, you have to remember, even if no one cares about you, I...my brother willI will care about you, even if it is for my brother, I must live well."

I don't know if it will work or not, but brainwashing...you should start with children, maybe it will be effective.

"Brother..." He murmured in a low voice with confusion in his tone.

"Yes, brother cares about you, and brother will... love you."

Hearing this, those little hands subconsciously wrapped around his waist, "Really?"

"Of course, brother never lies."

...

Shen Li suddenly sat up from the bed, he looked around the room with a surprised expression, then reached out and touched the tear stains on his face, his face was full of astonishment.

Xun Feng walked in at the right time and saw such a scene.

Xunfeng was stunned for a long time, he hadn't seen his master like this for a long time.

He followed his master since he was a child, and witnessed all the changes in him, from being innocent and kind when he was young to becoming helpless and fragile after the emperor and concubine left.After the emperor ascended the throne, there was no one around the master to protect him. Those people saw that they had no reliance, and those who had been obedient to him in every possible way before became sneaky and tricky, and did not take him seriously.

The master is pure and quiet, never caring about those things, those people got worse, some even used some unscrupulous means to assassinate him.

After being injured countless times, the master finally slowly became stronger. He gradually won over his own power, gained a firm foothold in the court, and made all those who despise him gradually start to look up to him.

Facts have proved that those people are hard-working people, and when they want to save face for them, they secretly engage in tricks to harm the master. He can no longer bear it, and after gradually becoming stronger, he no longer dares to offend him.please.

He has witnessed the change of his master with his own eyes. He has never shed tears since he was seventeen years old, and he did not allow anyone to see his frail appearance. He put on a protective clothing for himself,Try to get rid of everything outside.
