Yezhao Sandbar

Chapter 23

Yun Wu carefully waited on Duan Qianmo for three days. During this period, she did not dare to let Mao Jian and the others come over to help serve. The prince is now like an untouchable tiger. The entire backyard of the palace is depressed, and everyone dare not Go out, walk on tiptoe.

Just now, Duan Qianmo accepted the invitation of the Great Northwest Chamber of Commerce to a banquet, and left the mansion with the five blessings.

Yunwu breathed a sigh of relief, the first thing he did was to go to the dungeon of the palace.

Although she is not the manager in the palace, she is the maidservant next to the prince. The guards in the dungeon dare not stop her, so they stepped into the iron gate with an oil lamp on. Xi's voice, she couldn't believe that it was the voice of that indifferent and stubborn young man, that kind of despair and sternness hit her heart in an instant, causing heart-wrenching pain.

Yun Wu feels certain, if the prince hears about it, he will definitely spare Ah Xi.

"Kill me... um... kill... um... please..."

She followed the voice and ran over with her skirt, and the scene that caught her eyes made her stunned...

Several men climbed onto Ah Xi's body like maggots. The young man's mouth was opened, and his big hands were stirring viciously in his mouth. Playing obscenely through pants.

Yun Wu couldn't stand it anymore, and without thinking about it, the candlestick in his hand smashed down on the back of one of the people's head. The lamp oil touched his hair and was instantly ignited.

The other three drew out their weapons and tried to strike.

Yun Wu took out his waist card and flashed it forward, "I was sent by the prince!"

Several people were silent and did not dare to move.

Yunwu led her back out of the dungeon without authorization, and the prince wanted to punish her by beating her. She never thought that Ah Xi should be punished like this. Killing him is nothing but nodding, and killing him is a thousand times better than humiliation.

She carried Ah Xi to the courtyard of the low-level servants. The chief steward who heard the news hurriedly stopped her and persuaded: "It's true that the prince loves you, but you shouldn't lose your dignity as a servant. Listen to my advice." , Send people back to the dungeon, I will help you hide this matter."

"You don't need to persuade me, I will take care of everything, you just pretend you didn't see this!" Yun Wu gently put him on the couch, found a musty quilt in the wooden cabinet and covered him, then turned around and said : "Thank you very much."

Seeing that she didn't listen to her persuasion, the steward sighed, seeing that the young man on the couch was really miserable, and he was chosen to stay in the palace for half a year, so he couldn't bear it, so he said: "I'll ask someone to bring some hot water , As for the wound medicine, it’s better to avoid it, and you don’t decide to give him medicine on your own, and wait for the prince to return before worrying about everything.”

Yun Wu nodded, the steward's words were true, it would be good to bring the person out, and when the prince came back, he would plead guilty first and then intercede. As for what the prince said, it would depend on Ah Xi's fortune.

I wiped Ah Xi's body with the hot water that was sent. The cloth towel in my hand had nowhere to start, so I could only scrub my face and neck. Her lower body was not easy to touch even with a daughter, so I just wrapped his body with a hot cloth towel. Two feet, to relieve the foot problems that have been tied to the torture rack for several days.

Looking at Ah Xi's tightly closed eyes, she thought that it would be fine if she fainted, but when she woke up, she would recall all the unbearable things just now. As a man, he was raped and played by several men. Such an unyielding boy finally cried and begged for mercy. Begging to die, what kind of despair is this.

Although the prince is ruthless, he has his own superiority and arrogance. Even if he is an enemy, he would not use this kind of insulting method. Could it be that he hated Ah Xi so much that he lost his sense of proportion?

She sat on the side of the couch and watched Axi, the sun and the moon alternated and the dusk came, and she didn't bother to hold the lamp, so she just sat and watched.

Near Haishi, there was a knock on the door, and it was pushed open immediately. Mao Jian poked his head to look in. After getting used to the darkness, he saw the clouds and mist beside the couch, and then came in quietly.

"Words from the front yard that the lord is coming back soon. The steward won't let me come, so I sneaked here when I have time." She lit the candle while talking, then looked at A Xi, and then lifted the thin quilt carelessly , smelled a musty smell, frowned and said: "You see it's hot today, the wounds on this body are probably going to fester, alas, this quilt smells musty, it's better not to cover it." Clouds stopped her.

"This injury cannot be covered!" Mao Jian reminded.

Yun Wu said vaguely: "His clothes are all torn."

Mao Jian is not a fool, he knew it, and sighed: "I heard someone talking about how you recited Ah Xi from the dungeon. I didn't believe it at first." , Why is it like this now...it's too much, it's better to let people die early and be reborn earlier." Thinking of those shameless methods, Mao Jian felt chills.

"Who is too much?"

Accompanied by this cold questioning, the door opened in response.

Mao Jian and Yun Wu knelt down immediately, not daring to look up, they could only see Duan Qianmo's clothes swaying in the wind, and there was no more movement.

Yun Wu was nervous at first, but now he calmed down. Anyway, he has already disobeyed the prince, so it doesn't matter whether he is afraid or not.

In the room, only the bean lights danced, and the cloud and mist saw Duan Qianmo standing on the side of the couch from the swaying shadow on the ground, not moving for a long time.

At the end, the shadow finally moved, but it couldn't be seen clearly, as if it stretched out a hand, but it stopped in mid-air, Yun Wu was startled, could it be that he wanted to kill Ah Xi?

She wanted to make one last plea to see if she could save the young man's life, but she heard the prince snort coldly, walked past her and Mao Jian out of the house, and said without looking back: "Please doctor, since Yun Wu is so distressed." He, just stay here with him!"

Mao Jian stuck out his tongue and looked at Yun Mist with sympathy.

The two stood up, and through the shadows of trees, they saw Duan Qianmo walking towards the dungeon with five blessings.

The eldest girl in the prince's room was demoted and assigned to the handyman's yard, which became a gossip in the inner yard, and there were a lot of jokes. From the time the cock crowed, people started looking back and forth, and the clouds simply pushed away The gate, let them see enough.

The doctor came to see the doctor, prescribed a prescription and gave the ointment, the prescription was left in the clouds, and she had so many good ointments to treat trauma and scars, as long as the prince allowed it to be used.

When Yunwu went back to get the ointment and turned back, Ah Xi opened her eyes, her eyes were empty, causing Yunwu to feel distressed.

She twisted the cloth towel and wiped his body. Ah Xi didn't move, and he didn't seem to respond when he touched the wound when he applied the ointment. The whips were all on the chest and abdomen, and the criss-cross wound almost used up half the box of ointment. , Yun Wu's eyes flickered a little, the boy's left side was red and swollen, and the left side was protruding, which was twice the size of the intact right side. The injury was so bad that it couldn't be done without medicine.

Yun Wu gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that she should treat him as her own brother, and it would be no big deal for the eldest sister to give her brother some medicine.

Fingers dipped in the ointment and covered it...

Ah Xi's whole body trembled suddenly, Yun Wu was terrified, looked up, was startled, couldn't care about anything, just slapped him with his hand, and then opened his mouth.

The tongue was bloody, but fortunately it was not bitten off.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said sharply: "I don't even have the strength to bite my tongue, and I want to commit suicide. Are all people in your tribe like this? Are you looking for life after being humiliated!?"

Axi stared at Yunwu fiercely.

"Although we Central Plains people seem weak, we will not seek death easily. Because Central Plains people believe in Buddhism, all living beings are subject to the karma of past lives in samsara, and cannot be independent. Suicide is for selfish selfishness. It violates the heaviest precept of killing. You haven’t repaid your favor, you haven’t repaid your debt, you escaped liberation, left your pain to your loved ones, and after death, you fell into the three evil ways and suffered all kinds of suffering!” Yun Wu slowed down his tone and continued to take medicine, “I think you are also a Understand child, if my younger brother is still alive, he will be at the same age as you, he wants to live, if he wants to die like you, my dead parents will be so sad."

Ah Xi lowered her eyes. Apart from Sima Qing, there is probably no one who cares about his life or death.

Yun Wu brought a bowl of cold water and helped Ah Xi up, "Come wash your mouth."

Ah Xi obediently rinsed off the blood in her mouth, and was supported by Yun Mist and lay down again.

"You sleep for a while, I'll make some porridge for you." Yun Wu left the house after speaking.

She wasn't worried that Ah Xi would seek death again, it would be good to give him some time to figure it out by himself, when she rescued him yesterday, she happened to see his distress, and just taking the medicine touched his self-esteem, so he couldn't think about it for a while That's all.

In the kitchen, I heard a few cooks muttering in low voices, as if they said that a few corpses were brought out of the dungeon last night, and the blood was stained all the way, and there were more than a dozen servants carrying water to wash the ground overnight, and they washed it all night Only clean.

With a thought in Yun Wu's mind, she guessed in her heart that it was almost inseparable. She didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. The joy was that Ah Xi would probably be able to escape, but the worry was that the two seemed to have complementary temperaments, but they were actually the same. His stubbornness, I'm afraid it's because of fate.

Then she went to bring the medicine prepared by the cook, but it didn't taste like the prescription prescribed by the doctor. Yun Wu carefully discerned that there were at least three rare tonics in it, she smiled bitterly in her heart, and took the medicine back.

Before turning off the lights at night and going to bed, Yun Wu caught a glimpse of a tall figure outside the courtyard, took care, and lay silently in the back room for half an hour, then heard the door being gently pushed open, she opened her eyes vaguely, and saw the man walking quietly After entering, she stood quietly beside Ah Xi's bed. After waiting for a while, she fell asleep in a daze. She didn't know when the person who came to visit secretly at night left.

The medicine was indeed good. Ah Xi took a dose yesterday and her spirits recovered, and the wound scabbed over the next day.

Ah Xi's injury has been recuperating for seven days, and the scars have fallen off. The man still comes every night. Ah Xi takes the medicine and sleeps soundly. Only Yun Wu understands the daily night visitors.

She and Axi worked as servants in the handyman's yard with peace of mind, and did some rough cleaning. Although Duan Qianmo didn't order her, neither she nor Axi were ignorant of propriety. Do the handyman's job, otherwise the two of them would just sit face to face and stare blankly.

The autumn sun in early August was like fire, making people dizzy from the sun, and Yun Mist's suet-like skin, which had been nourished for many years, was lightly ruined by two suns.

During dinner at night, Ah Xi said: "Go and beg the prince to go back."

Yun Wu was picking up the rice in the bowl, she hadn't picked up the rice like this in many years, she swallowed a big mouthful, and said vaguely: "I don't ask, there are many people in this mansion who watch jokes, I'll ask, I'm not right They're pregnant."

Ah Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks, her expression was always indifferent, like an ink painting faded by mist and rain, "I hurt you, I'll go beg him."

"Fool." Yun Wu tapped his head with chopsticks, and said, "You think you are more useful than me? I'm afraid if you ask, I will have to do the job of feeding pigs in the outer courtyard."

Ah Xi was taken aback, thinking about it too.

"Don't think about it, if you come, you will be safe, no matter where you go, you have a reason to live!"

Ah Xi pondered Yun Wu's words, everyone has a reason to live, so what is his reason for living?

His identity and true face are always threatening Yuezhi King's status, as long as he lives for a day, Sima Qing can't rest easy.

Duan Qianmo has misunderstood him deeply, and it is a knot that will never be untied. He can't face it calmly, let alone tell the truth, because he can't bet on Sima Qing and the whole Yueshi.

As for Sima Qing, who cared about him, the look in his eyes made him afraid, and he was afraid from the bottom of his heart. That kind of feeling couldn't be understood, let alone expressed. It just made him want to escape, avoid those eyes.

The only reason supporting his surviving now is probably the entrustment from his grandmother at the end of his life.

This reason seems ironic.
