Chapter 224: Xin Yu

After noon, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and in an instant the rain poured down.

You Xue rejected the dark guard's oil-paper umbrella, held her head and ran all the way into the Xia Kite Palace, shaking off the rain on her body.

I wiped the raindrops on my hair with my bare hands, and breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that even if my hair is accidentally wet, it will not fade.

She walked past the maid standing outside the door and into the dormitory.

The children of the bereaved family are now temporarily housed here as a place to heal their wounds.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sink her eyebrows, and when she stepped into the inner hall, she heard a 'poof'.

She hurriedly quickened her pace to push open the door, and when she saw the curtain of the veil, the small figure fell under the bed.

"What are you doing?" she stepped forward to help him up, but was pushed away by the child.

After a few days of recuperation, the child had regained some of his strength, his wheat-colored cheeks were oozing with sweat, and he stubbornly bit his lip and climbed on the edge of the bed to stand up.

But his calf had shrunk and weakened, and no matter how much he struggled, it was in vain.

You Xue stood up silently, watched him fall over and over again, and climbed up on the edge of the bed, but his knees could never be straightened.

The child did not have any violent emotions, he just sat on the ground, his eyes staring blankly at the thin calves like firewood sticks, and under the curled eyelashes, tears overflowed his eyes, dripping little by little on the gorgeous red carpet.

A child of this age has such determination, which surprised You Xue.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" she asked softly.

The child hesitated for a moment before looking back at her, and her red eyes seemed to be able to deter the soul, making You Xue's heart stagnate, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.

"Ahem," she coughed to hide her embarrassment, "if you can understand me, then you can listen." ”

Seeing that the child just stared at her face coldly, and did not respond to her, she did not care, and continued: "You have torn the ligament at your ankle, which has not been treated for a long time, and now the wound on the sole of your foot has healed, and you can still walk with appropriate medicinal baths and acupuncture to invigorate your blood." ”

She thought in her mind that the hot spring that Ah Sui had taken her to was a good place, and it was also a good way to bring him over for healing, Yuan Ziyue was a good candidate, but she had to sit in Nanxinglou to collect intelligence, and Ah Sui didn't have time, and she would soon go to the southwest with the army.

"You mean, I can still stand up?" the child's voice was very immature, but his tone was very imposing.

You Xue's heart moved, and she looked at his expression carefully, and suddenly said, "Why were you captured here?"

"You haven't answered me yet!" The child's red eyes flashed, and he subconsciously wanted to stand up, but he stumbled to the ground again, this time because of his distraction, the left side of his head fell to the edge of the bed, and he only frowned and snorted.

"You don't need me to repeat it, you understand, then tell me, how were you arrested, and where were you transported into the dungeon?"

You Xue found that there was no need to see him as a ten-year-old child, this child did not seem simple.

The child found that no matter how much he struggled, it was in vain, and he couldn't stand up at all, and his eyes were self-deprecating.

"My name is Xin Yu, I am a member of the Xisha tribe, and I was ambushed by someone passing through Huaimin County. ”

You Xue recalled that when she first saw this blood-stained child, his ragged clothes seemed to be dressed as a ranger.

But where did such a small ranger come from, "fleeing, merchant, or defecting?" she squinted and asked coldly.

"Flee with your family. Xin Yu whispered.

"Where's your family?"

"Dead. ”

Seeing that he was so cooperative and obedient, You Xue also softened her tone, no matter what, after all, she was still a child.

She stepped forward to help him up again, and this time, he didn't resist, and was half-helped and half-hugged by You Xue and sat on the bed.

"In the dungeon, the wall behind the torture rack in the northeast corner is a stone gate, and we were brought in from there. Below the blood pool is a karst cave, the blood pool is not stagnant water, but it is sealed by a floodgate, and the activation mechanism can flow from the channel into the dark river. ”

Seeing that the woman's face was pale, he seemed to be quite happy: "The bones were also transported out of that stone gate, and I don't know where we were held, but I remember that there were many fierce statues and bells and drums. ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, and just when the boy thought she was going to say something, he saw You Xue bend down, and his hands slowly pressed the meridians on his calves, and his fingers were already carrying internal strength, stimulating his atrophied muscles and meridians.

After all, he was still a child, and he had already groaned in pain, his face was pale, but he still clenched his fists tightly and did not cry.

You Xue smiled, she said, "Look, if you feel and feel pain, then you can live!"

Seeing that Xin Yu gritted her teeth and didn't understand what she meant, she didn't explain: "Later, I will send someone to send you to a safe place to recuperate, and you have to be obedient and cooperate with that person." ”

Xin Yu held back tears and said, "Can I still practice martial arts in the future?"

You Xue didn't answer him, Gu Zi rubbed all the acupuncture points for him.

Half an hour later, she straightened up and saw the child still staring at her with wide eyes, waiting for her to answer.

You Xue took a deep look at him, pulled up the thin blanket for him, and said softly: "Xin Yu, people are not born to walk. ”

Xin Yu showed an ignorant and dazed look, and was even more confused.

You Xue smiled, this is the expression that a child should have, she looked at the rain and the sky outside the house, and thought about going back to Nanxing Tower to arrange this matter, so she quickly left the Xia Kite Palace.

Heavy rain continued to fall until the evening, and thunder rolled, and lightning flashed in the thick black clouds from time to time.

He thought about his brothers who had gone to the South China Sea, but he didn't know what the weather was like there, what the battle was like, and if it was such a storm, the naval battle would be very difficult.

Thinking of this, his face became even more gloomy, and his long-calm mind began to suffocate, making him feel a little tightness in his chest and panting.

Walking outside the Zichen Palace, only the palace maids and chamberlains standing outside the hall saw him come and bowed. He stepped into the hall with an indifferent expression, and a figure surprised him to appear in the outer hall.

"Meet the King. Jin Yang lowered his eyebrows and bowed.

Zhen Tengfeng hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, "Aunt Jinyang came here at this time, did she have anything to tell her?"

Jin Yang took a few steps back, and his face was ashamed: "Return to the king, the slave and maid are guilty, please punish the king." She knelt down as she spoke.

When the queen mother was alive, this female official was the most powerful person around her, and when she had not yet met her brothers and sisters, she did not hesitate to sacrifice herself for her mother, and almost died. He remembered and thanked her for her loyalty, and had always relied on and trusted her, so what happened today?

"Tell me. ”

Jin Yang bowed to the ground, unable to see his expression clearly, "King Qiyu, today the slave maid went to Tongwu Garden at noon to deal with trivial affairs, and when he came back, he found that the lord of Tianlan was wearing the clothes of a maid and mixed into the palace maid and entered the inner palace. ”

After she finished speaking, she kowtowed on the ground, and said: "The slave maid was going to inform the Praetorian Guards to send her back to Lanfu, but she forced her to die, saying that she wanted to see the king and had something important to say. ”

Hearing the top of her head, the emperor snorted coldly, she subconsciously raised her eyes, but saw that the emperor had turned around the screen, walked to the imperial case and sat down, "So, she is in your Ganhua Palace now?"

Her face sank, she gritted her teeth and stood up, walked to the bottom of the imperial case and continued to kneel down and replied, "Yes." ”

Zhen Tengfeng thought for a while, "In this case, I will take her to the imperial study," he knuckled and said, "Inform the Lan Mansion to enter the palace to receive people." ”
