Rebirth to Zero (MTL)

Chapter 1: Love makes a living

The bleak autumn wind swept the broken leaves on the trees, almost giving them a depressed look. Fallen leaves drifted into the skylight of the dungeon with the wind. Jun Lixuan felt a little sad as he listened to the rustling wind.

Carrying the charge of usurping the throne, the emperor did not immediately kill him, but only locked him in a dungeon to await his punishment. Jun Lixuan knew in his heart that he would not escape death, even if he was also a victim.

The heavy lock on the door was unlocked, and the jailer opened the wooden door of the cell. Ling Qiyang walked in carrying a food box and a copper basin filled with water as before. Then the lock dropped again.

Ling Qiyang twisted the wet handkerchief without saying a word and handed it to Jun Lixuan.

The seventh prince, Jun Lixuan, was unparalleled in beauty, both civil and military, and had numerous military exploits. He was originally one of the most promising candidates for heir apparent. Although he is now a prisoner, he still maintains a clean face and clothes, and his solemn aura sets off his pride and incomparable dignity. But all this seems to be mocking his absurdity and ignorance for sending troops to usurp the throne...

After setting the food, Ling Qiyang sat on the old bench and watched Jun Lixuan eat. This scene repeated itself every day, and Jun Lixuan gradually got used to it.

Ling Qiyang is the second son of Uncle Wangyang, and he has wanted to marry him since he was sixteen years old. But Jun Lixuan never looked at him directly. This dragged on for ten years, and Ling Qiyang was still alone and became the laughing stock of the entire capital. And Jun Lixuan has always been surrounded by warblings, men and women.

Ling Qiyang was born extremely beautiful, and he could be said to be very charming. But because of the relationship with the imperial concubine, Jun Lixuan instinctively guarded against him and did not want to spend too much time with him.

After he was in trouble, Ling Qiyang was the only person who saw him except his brother, and he came on time every day. He didn't ask what the situation was like outside, nor what the court's criticism was. You can know the answer just by looking at Ling Qiyang's increasingly thin and pale face.

Putting down his chopsticks, Jun Lixuan said without emotion: "You should also make good plans for your future. I am not going to die soon, and you don't have to wait any longer. Find someone worthy to entrust you to me."

Ling Qiyang twitched the corner of his mouth and showed an involuntary smile, "Since that day you rescued me from the wolf pile, my heart has been set. Even though I have been living lightly these years, I have not changed my original intention."

Jun Lixuan frowned, "What?"

Ling Qiyang looked up at him, his deep eyes trying hard to hide his sadness, "When I was seven years old, my father went hunting with the emperor in the paddocks. I went with my father and got lost in the mountains. It was already late at that time, and I was hunted by wolves. The pack surrounded me, so you jumped down from the tree and killed the alpha wolf that rushed towards me. Then you lit the arrow, summoned the guards, and strangled the pack of wolves. Then you took me back to the camp, who was so frightened."

Jun Lixuan's frown deepened. He remembered that such an incident did happen, but the process and the person he rescued had long been blurred. Unexpectedly, the connection between him and Ling Qiyang was here.

Ling Qiyang looked at the frowning Jun Lixuan and smiled: "Forget it."

"I've never heard you mention it before." Jun Lixuan said.

Ling Qiyang twitched the corners of his lips and whispered: "You never gave me a chance to say it."

Jun Lixuan fell silent. At this point, he was unable to do anything for Ling Qiyang and could only remain silent.
