Chapter 97: The Scapegoat (1)
"Did you get it back?" Chu Xiangwan was tied up and thrown to the ground, and Hu Xi sat in this tent waiting for someone to reply.
The person who went to chase Yi'er's mother and daughter ran for most of the day and did not find anyone, so they hurried back to report the situation to the master: "Master, people don't know where they have gone." ”
"Rubbish!" After Hu Xi finished speaking, he kicked the servant who replied to the letter, he picked up the whip on the ground in a rage, pointed at Chu Xiangwan and said, "You woman is so bold, you dare to let go of the slave girl we are going to bury tomorrow." After speaking, he whipped Chu Xiangwan more than a dozen whips, Chu Xiangwan was tied up and couldn't dodge at all, and another whip was whipped on her face, leaving a blood mark at that time, which hurt hotly.
Chu Xiangwan lay on the ground and couldn't move, her body was in pain, that Hu Xi was ruthless, making her tremble with pain, and then a cold wind blew in, she couldn't support it and fainted.
"Someone, wake her up." Hu Xi instructed his subordinates to bring a basin of cold water, poured it on Chu Xiangwan's body, and Chu Xiangwan woke up again.
"Since you let our people go, then I will take you to my father's funeral tomorrow. You are optimistic about her, and if she lets her run away again, I will bury you tomorrow. Do you hear that? Husie said viciously.
"Yes, yes, yes." The guard's servant nodded, they had already let go once, and if something went wrong again, their lives would be in jeopardy. Therefore, after the master left, they cheered up and did not dare to be sloppy.
The first thing Yi'er did when he returned to the royal court was to ask to see Wu Luolan, and she happened to meet Yandu outside the tent, so she pulled Yandu and said, "Sister Yandu, I have an urgent matter to see Concubine Khan." ”
"Concubine Khan is about to fall asleep, you are asking to see now, won't you disturb Concubine Khan." Yan didn't want to go in to report, she thought, what urgent can this little girl be in Yi'er.
"Sister, please, I really have an urgent matter, it is a matter of human life, only Concubine Khan can manage it!" The little girl was so anxious that tears were already flowing out.
"Okay, you wait here, if Concubine Khan hasn't slept yet, I'll let you know." Yan Du saw that the little girl was really anxious, and she couldn't bear it. So she went into the tent, and at this moment Uloran did not rest, but was sewing a large fox fur cloak for Helian City.
"Concubine Khan, don't you rest when it's late?" Yandu asked.
"I want to do it for a while, the Great Khan will be back tomorrow night, I want to do it before he comes back, so that I can surprise him." At the mention of Helian City, Uloran's face was filled with a happy and gentle smile.
"Concubine Khan is really attentive to the Great Khan." Yan Du didn't know what to say about Yi'er outside, so he stood aside and hesitated.
"Anything else?" Uloran asked, looking up.
"Oh, that little girl from Il wants to see you."
"Now? What's up? ”
"The slave doesn't know either, but I'm very anxious to see her, so I have the courage to come in and disturb Concubine Khan."
"Then let her in."
"Yes." Yan Du turned out and said to Yi'er, "Concubine Khan let you in." ”
Yi'er followed Yandu into the tent, and immediately knelt down and said to Wu Luolan, "Ask Concubine Khan for help." ”
"What's going on? You make it clear. Uroran's brow furrowed.
"Concubine Huihan, my aunt and sister are working at the house of Lord Hashak, and Lord Hashak died a few days ago, so the young master chose my aunt and sister to be the funeral." Speaking of this, Yi'er was already crying silently, and after softening her emotions, she continued: "Later, Sister Wannu found out, so she discussed with me to rescue Grandma and Sister. As a result, the person was rescued, but Sister Wannu was arrested in order to protect us, and begged Concubine Khan to save her! ”
"This matter ・・・・・・" Uroran hesitated for a moment, and she instructed Yan Du, "You go to the Hashak house to inquire about the situation." ”
Yan Du soon returned, she saluted Wu Luolan and said, "Concubine Khan, I have already inquired clearly, the late slave was captured by them, and said that she was going to be buried in place of the escapee. ”
"I beg Concubine Khan to save Sister Wannu!" When Yier heard that Chu Xiangwan was going to bury her aunt and sister tomorrow, he immediately panicked and immediately kowtowed to Wu Luolan.
"Why are you so confused, this burial is our old custom, how can you sneak away?" Uroran reproached, but she sighed again when she saw Il's sad appearance and said, "No wonder you, who can watch their relatives die like this?" It's just, I'm not going to help you with this. "What Wu Luolan said is also true, there have always been living people to accompany the funeral, and it is not easy for her to open her mouth to stop it, and with Chu Xiangwan's episode, it is even more difficult for her to come forward. Besides, Chu Xiangwan, she didn't want to save her, this was her selfishness, and when Helian Cheng came back, she was already dead, and Helian Cheng couldn't blame her.
"Concubine Khan!" Ilr kept kowtowing.
"You have to understand that if I intervene to stop it, everyone will follow suit in the future, and it will be a mess. The rules of the ancestors cannot be abolished, even if I am the concubine Khan, there is nothing I can do. ”
"However, I can't look at Sister Wannu ・・・・・・"
"Okay, Yier, Concubine Khan is going to rest, now that your aunt and sister have escaped, then you don't have to meddle in matters anymore. If you do this again, you will embarrass the Khan Concubine. Yan Du looked at Uroran's expression, and spoke out at the right time, she picked up Yi'er and went out.
"It turns out that I am such a ruthless person." Uroran muttered to herself, and Yan Du came in just in time to hear it.
"Concubine Khan, if you know that Yi'er is talking about that woman, the slave maid will send her away early in the morning, and she will never let her in to disturb you."
"Yandu, is it too much for me to do this, after all, it is a human life."
"Concubine Khan, you're right, even if you change someone else, you can't come forward, the living people accompany us Huns and those who have a little power to do this, if you come forward to stop it, aren't you going to commit public anger?" Yan Du is also telling the truth.
"But if the Great Khan came back and found out that the late slave was dead, would it ・・・・・・?" Uroran worried.
"Then you can't be blamed, it's the late slave who did these things herself, it's her own bad life, what does it have to do with you."
"But after all, I'm still selfish." Uloran whispered.
"Concubine Khan, you are the most noble woman of the Huns, the Great Khan will not embarrass you for a female slave, right? Besides, without this slave girl in the future, you and the Great Khan will definitely return to the old days of love. ”
Wu Luolan didn't speak again, Yan Du's last sentence hit her heart, she touched the fox fur cloak in her hand, and didn't speak again.
