Chapter 23: Recovering Memories – Suicide

Ying Yinyan closed her eyes and rested against the wall of the dark room, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from far and near at the door of the cell, and quickly got up to look over.

Xiu Ming hadn't come to the cell to see her for five days since she left the dark room that day, and Ying Yinyan was very worried about him, afraid that something would happen to him outside.

Ying Yinyan saw that it was the palace maid who came to deliver medicine for her when she pushed the door in, and her original mood of anticipation suddenly became very low.

"Your Highness, please take your medicine." Yusuo carried the tray of tea and pills and walked over to Ying Yinyan.

"I don't eat" Ying Yin Yan finished speaking, and overturned the tray in the hand of the jade lock.

Recently, Xu Fu added a tan pill to the medicine she took every day. Said that the pill is made from Penglai Immortal Grass, which can wash the marrow of the I Ching and help her remove the residual impurities in her body.

After Ying Yin swallowed the pill for the first time, the internal organs in her body seemed to be gnawed by countless ants; The bones in her body were also like a thousand gold, which made her miserable. Several times, she felt as if she had been shut down by a ghost.

"Your Highness, this is not a place where you can play petty and show off the majesty of the princess of the Heavenly Family. Now that you're here, I have the final say on taking the medicine, and I can't help you if you want to. ”

The jade lock forcefully broke open Yingyinyan's mouth, poured water and stuffed the pill in. It was for the emperor's sake that she reluctantly respected her as Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It's been so long, how can this stupid woman still not see her situation clearly. Now she is not the high-ranking princess she used to be, but just a subordinate prisoner who can be slaughtered by others and has no power to fight back.

Ying Yin Yan was forced to pour water into her mouth, and she choked very uncomfortably. In the process of struggling, she accidentally knocked off the porcelain bowl in Jade Suo's hand, and the porcelain bowl fell heavily to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

The water that came out of the porcelain bowl accidentally spilled on the crimson gauze skirt of the jade lock, and the chest was soaked with water stains.

"Slut"

The angry jade lock slapped Yingyin Yan with his backhand. This dead woman is clearly deliberately working against her and making her unhappy.

Just when Yusuo was anxious to rush back to the room to change clothes as soon as possible, she didn't notice that Ying Yinyan, who was lying on the ground, took advantage of her inattention, and quickly picked up a piece of ceramic shard and hid it in her sleeve.

"Senior brother, where are you going?"

Xiu Ming cautiously poked his head out of the window, no one? He jumped out of the window with great agility, and before he could take two steps, he was stopped.

"Little junior brother, why are you here?" Xiu Ming turned his head and looked at the person who stopped him with an embarrassed expression.

"Senior brother, the master ordered me to watch you for the next few days and not allow you to go out."

"Oh. Is it! I just want to go out and make a compliment, and I'll be back right away. After Xiu Ming finished speaking, he raised his feet and wanted to leave, but the little junior brother walked around in front of him and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Senior brother, I have already instructed them to prepare a gong bucket for you, and if you have a gong matter, you can solve it in the room, don't go out."

Last time, because he was careless, he let Xiu Ming follow up the secret room, causing him to be scolded by the master fiercely, this time he must keep Xiu Ming firmly in mind, and he can't let him go out to make trouble, which will ruin the master's big thing.

Xiu Ming saw the little junior brother standing in front of him, blocking the road to death, so he could only retreat to his room helplessly. He looked at the little junior brother who was leaning against the door frame and guarding his door with a headache. His little junior brother is good at everything, but he is too well-behaved and listens to his master.

The words of the master are like holy decrees in his heart, and it is not easy for anyone except the master to speak in front of him.

Xiu Ming can be seen clearly, his little junior brother is an elm head, and even small things like drinking water and eating have to stare at him.

"Little junior brother, it's getting dark. You've been staring at me for so long, you must be tired, come and sit down and have a sip of tea. ”

In desperation, Xiu Ming had no choice but to turn his back and add something to the tea when the junior brother was not paying attention.

After standing for a day, he was indeed a little thirsty, thinking that Xiu Ming couldn't escape under his nose. So the little junior brother walked to the table, and there was no doubt that he took the cup of tea handed to him by Xiu Ming and drank it.

"Little junior brother, little junior brother."

After the little junior brother drank the tea, he immediately fell asleep on the table, Xiu Ming called him several times in his ear, and after making sure that the little junior brother was really asleep, he breathed a deep sigh of relief. Fortunately, his little junior brother is loyal, honest, and has no heart, so he is very easy to deceive.

After Xiu Ming got his little junior brother, he quietly avoided the guards guarding the door of the Dan room and slipped into the dark room under the Dan room where Ying Yin Yan was held.

"Yan'er, I've come to see you."

Xiu Ming screamed several times through the railing, but Yingyinyan, who was huddled in the corner, didn't react at all. He had no choice but to go around to the other side of the cell, a little closer to Yingyin. After going around, he found a large pool of blood under Ying Yinyan's body.

"Yan'er, Yan'er, wake up."

The panicked Xiu Ming couldn't help but shout loudly for a while, alarming the guards guarding the door of the Danfang.

"How's the people?"

Xu Fu woke up from his sleep in the middle of the night and heard the news that Ying Yinyan had committed suicide by cutting her wrists in prison from the guards, and her face turned pale because of excessive fright. If Yingyin Yan dies, his previous efforts will be in vain, and how will he explain to the emperor when the time comes.

"Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and His Royal Highness's life is not in serious trouble, but his body is very weak due to excessive blood loss, and he needs to stay in bed and recuperate for a while."

After listening to the doctor's words, Xu Fu's hanging heart finally landed safely. He glanced at the room with trepidation, and threatened:

"No one is allowed to say anything about today's events, if you dare to chew your tongue behind your back, you will alarm Your Majesty. None of you want to escape the crime of unfavorable care and dereliction of duty, do you understand? ”

"No"

Everyone in the room couldn't help but shudder when they thought of the emperor's ruthless methods on weekdays. They didn't dare to imagine that if something really happened to Yingyin Yan in prison, they would not be skinned off by the emperor on the spot.

On the evening of the second day, Ying Yinyan woke up from her slumber, she opened her eyes and looked at the emerald green curtain above her head with frustration, it was really ridiculous, she waited so long to find a perfect opportunity to commit suicide, but unfortunately she did not die.

This suicide failed, she estimated that Xu Fu would definitely be more strictly guarded in the future, and when the time came, it would be even more difficult to find an opportunity to commit suicide.

"Your Highness, you have finally woken up, why can't you think about it like this. This immortality is a good thing, why are you so rare? Xu Fu asked Qin Man, who was looking at the curtain above his head in a daze.

"Come, bring people."

Xu Fu suppressed the anger in his chest and looked at Ying Yin Yan, who was unwilling to deal with him, he had his own way to make Ying Yin Yan open his mouth and beg him.

"Xiu Ming, what did you do to him?"

Ying Yinyan saw Xiu Ming, who was covered in blood and dragged in by the guards, glared at Xu Fu angrily, as if she wanted to eat him alive.

"Your Highness is really harmful! Weichen, this apprentice, originally devoted himself to alchemy, since he met you, he has been constantly disobedient to me, and he has private meetings with you every day, but now he is delusional about robbing prisoners. This prisoner robbery is a great crime of beheading. Your Highness, tell me, what should I do with me, an infatuated stupid apprentice. You said that if His Majesty knew that he wanted to take you away and sabotage his plans for immortality..."

Xu Fu had already seen that something was wrong with his apprentice, but he didn't expect that Xiu Ming would be so bold as to want to rob the prisoner after seeing Ying Yin Yan commit suicide.

"No, don't. Please, don't tell your father, as long as you let him go, I can do whatever I want. ”

Ying Yinyan looked at Xiu Ming, who was lying on the ground, and quickly got up from the bed, then knelt in front of Xu Fu, and kept kowtowing to beg.

"How did Wei Chen hear that His Royal Highness has been very uncooperative recently, and he has spilled a lot of medicine?"

"I'll take it, and I'll cooperate with me to take medicine in the future, as long as you're willing to let him go."

Ying Yin Yan crawled to the table with her hands and feet, picked up the pill that the palace maid put on the table, and stuffed it into her mouth desperately.

"Is that okay? You can let him go, right? Ying Yin Yan held back her tears and glared at Xu Fu unwillingly.

"Your Highness, your suicide trick scared the old minister enough, how can you let me believe now that you will obediently take medicine?" Xu Fu asked meaningfully.

"I see, isn't the name repair still in your hands? As long as you are willing to promise me not to move him, I can give up the idea of seeking death and be at your mercy, so it can always be! ”

Didn't Xu Fu just want to make himself promise that he was not looking for death? He had to let go of Xiu Ming, and he could promise him.

"Okay, no matter how you say it, Xiu Ming is also my apprentice. As long as the princess is willing to cooperate with the medicine, everything is easy to say. ”

After Xu Fu left that day, Ying Yinyan never dared to ask about the situation of the name repair, although Xu Fu promised that he would let the name repair go, but what the truth is, who knows?
