Chapter 99: Painful Days
For a while, she was not so hungry or sleepy, and her mind was full of Ouyang Yu's uneasy appearance because of her punishment.
As night fell, and in the blink of an eye, it was dawn again, and heavy rain poured from the skylight, splashing the entire cell. The edge of the bed was also splashed, spreading to Chen Ling's body.
She was already so hungry that she couldn't speak, and she could drink some water from time to time to satisfy her hunger in the first two days, but now it doesn't work, and even her luck is difficult.
"I'm not going to die here." Chen Ling muttered to himself, but he couldn't even hear his voice. She closed her eyes hungry and sleepy, and in an instant came out a lot of roast duck, roast chicken, roast mutton, barbecue oden, and add a handful of chili peppers, it was so delicious!
Hungry and drooling, she opened her eyes suddenly, and watched speechlessly as the skylight slowly darkened, until night fell and the room was filled with darkness.
Chen Ling climbed to the puddle and wanted to drink some water, but his feet slipped and his whole arm slipped in, and the whole person fell heavily on the ground, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Ouch! ”
It's just that the subtle sound is not as loud as the sound of raindrops. She lay down in front of the pit and took two hard breaths, then rolled over and pulled her hand out, and lay on the ground, letting the rain soak her.
Hungry to this point, she could see all kinds of food even when her eyes were open, and the scene in her mind that someone would save her from the skylight appeared in front of her eyes in a blink of an eye, and when she looked closely, she realized that it was a fantasy.
The upper and lower eyelids began to fight again, and sleepiness hit, but she couldn't sleep anyway, and her empty stomach seemed to empty her life.
At this moment, she smelled the fragrance of steamed buns.
"I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death here." The taste is getting stronger and stronger, and it is becoming more and more real, but Chen Ling has no strength to get up.
Suddenly felt that the previous idea was ridiculous, why wouldn't the king attack him? If he dies, Yu Xin can replace him, not only will it not affect public opinion, but it will also weigh his heart.
As soon as he closed his eyes, Chen Ling's stomach was hit by something, he reached out and touched it, pinched it, it looked like steamed buns, take a closer look, isn't it a steamed bun!
Her eyes widened suddenly: "It can't be an illusion!" ”
She stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation, and when she bit it, it turned out to be the touch and taste of the steamed bun, and she devoured it all, and the last big bite almost choked her to death, turned over and drank a big gulp, and ate, and then swallowed, her stomach finally stopped screaming, and closed her eyes with satisfaction, but after a while, there was a snoring sound.
The man standing at the skylight couldn't help but laugh at the sound and crawled back to his cell.
At dawn the next day, Chen Ling opened his eyes and saw a steamed bun lying on the broken bed! Before she had time to think about it, she hurried over and grabbed it and ate it!
Touching her stomach and thinking about it carefully, she realized that someone really came to help her last night, and gave her steamed buns, and she couldn't help but look at the skylight, which was bright and bright, and there was no trace in sight.
Just then, the only iron door to the cell was opened.
Seeing that Chen Ling had lost a lot of weight, he described him as withered, and his body was covered with water stains, so he went out and came in with two buns and a set of clothes: "Holy Maiden, this is the food that the king asked us to send, and there will be another time in five days." ”
In order not to starve people inside, I fed two buns on the fifth day, which was just right.
Chen Ling lay on the ground weakly: "Hmm." ”
When the servant was gone, she got up, changed her clothes, hid the bun under the straw on the bed, and waited until she was very hungry to eat.
That night, Chen Ling was hungry again, and couldn't help but take out two buns and eat them. The next day it was time for the hungry days again.
At night, she was so hungry that she couldn't sleep again, and she looked at the skylight with only a little outline open and was in a daze, praying that the last time the person would bring her another steamed bun.
In the early hours of the morning, her eyelids began to fight again, and as soon as she closed her eyes, she saw a lot of delicious food, and she thought that she was going to fall asleep like this, but suddenly a hard object smashed her on the head, and she looked at the skylight coldly.
On the skylight, there was a figure lying on his stomach, and he couldn't see it really.
"Aren't you coming down?" Chen Ling picked up the bun and ate it, watched the figure peek into the skylight, and then disappeared from view.
The next day, there were a few more drops of blood under the skylight.
Chen Ling brought water to wash away the blood stains and continued to sleep. Every other night, the figure would come to her aid, listen to her complaints, but never say a word to her, stay for a while and then leave.
Until the day of her liberation, Chen Zhuyuan and Yu Xin brought all kinds of palace maids to welcome people out, freshen up well, and prepare good wine and food to serve.
Chen Zhurong and the little prince also came to congratulate them, and finally passed the punishment.
Only Ouyang Yu, she has not come to the door when she returns to the Holy Maiden Pavilion.
Chen Ling pouted, tossed and turned on the bed, and asked Ju'er who was sleeping outside, "You say, why hasn't the king come yet?" ”
Ju'er walked to the back room, pondered for a moment, and said, "The punishment of the Seventh Prince this time is very heavy, although he has only been in the cell for five or six days, he has become a bloody man. If it weren't for Miss Shen Yun to save her, I'm afraid she would have returned to heaven long ago. ”
"It's so serious." Chen Ling's heart slammed and he frowned, "I'm going to pay a generous gift to visit early tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes." With that, Ju'er pulled up the quilt for her and turned back to the edge of her bed.
At dawn on the second day, Chen Ling went to the bazaar to pick up some excellent medicinal materials and take them to the palace, and was welcomed by Xiaolin into the door and sent to the main courtyard.
"Brother, you can't do it anymore!" Shen Yun's tone was slightly serious, "If you don't treat it well, your external injuries will suppurate, and your internal injuries will not be completely cured, and you will leave the root of the disease!" ”
Ouyang Yu said: "This king can't be idle...... Staying in the yard all the time will suffocate to death. ”
Xiao Lin was about to knock on the door, but was stopped by Chen Ling. Her heart beat faster, thinking about the figure on the skylight, the blood stains under the skylight, and Shen Yun's words, could it be that Ouyang Yu had done his work, and it also affected the healing of the wound?
Isn't he the one who helped her?! She wanted the exact answer.
It's just that the next words shook her heart: "Miss Peony is not in a hurry for a while!" Even in the Flower Pavilion, who could bully her? ”
Ouyang was stunned and wanted to explain something, but he heard a knock on the door, and then Xiaolin's voice came: "Master, the holy woman is coming to visit." ”
He quickly got up, opened the door himself, looked at the visitor, and unconsciously raised a smile: "Although I have lost some weight, I am intact." ”
"Just you come out with injuries!" Chen Ling pouted, and thought about all the people around him, and Ouyang Yu was the only one who met the conditions for helping, "I brought you medicine, I don't know if you need it." ”
After speaking, Ju'er stepped forward with the medicine box, opened it in front of him, and showed Shen Yun a look.
