After being locked up, Shen was unexpectedly quiet.

He didn't try to escape, and he didn't give in.

Cui Le's people starved him for two days, thinking that he would suffer and teach the prince of this family a lesson, but who would have thought that Shen would have a white face and a hungry body, but he still had the strength to collapse on the chair and stare at Xue Nuo, who was also dizzy with hunger next to him.

Shen took off the bamboo strips on the lampshade and baked them on the oil lamp, and when the bamboo strips were burned, there was a hint of charcoal barbecue duck, he shrugged his nose and said to Xue Nuo: "Practice calligraphy well, and when you return to Beijing, I will take you to eat roast duck." ”

Xue Nuo was half lying on the table weakly, the desktop was a crooked word written by "charcoal", and she was dying: "I'm afraid I'll starve to death before I eat roast duck, Childe, I have soft hands, can I stop practicing calligraphy?" ”

"Write two more times and rest."

"But I'm not bored."

"Work hard, and there will be."

“……”

Xue Nuo couldn't help but lie on the table and roll her eyes, extremely regretful why she pretended to be illiterate in the first place, when she lowered her head and wrote on the table, her strength seemed to be painting on Shen Qi's face.

Shen saw that her face was pale and her hands were floating when she wrote, but she was still soft-hearted: "Have you ever been hungry like this before?" ”

Xue Nuo lowered his eyes: "When my mother was still there, the family was quite wealthy at that time, and she was never hungry, but then she died, and my sister and I met a lot of bad people, and we hid in a cellar to avoid them and starved for five whole days, and when those people left, my sister and I were rescued." ”

Mother rebelled, Emperor Tianqing ordered to kill without forgiveness, never asked for the crime, never locked up, the forbidden army entered the palace and killed people, and the entire Yongzhao Princess Mansion was full of blood.

Father Xue hurriedly hid her and Sister A in the cellar of the stable, which was full of hay for feeding the horses, and the sound of the forbidden army killing was overhead, and Sister Ah covered her mouth and hid in the cellar and did not dare to go out.

In those days they huddled in the dark cellar, eating hay when they were hungry, and they were so hungry that they could gnaw on their arms.

Later, after Daddy Xue rescued them, he took them to flee everywhere, sleeping in the open air, bumping day and night, and being hungry was a common thing.

Daddy Xue is a literati, she can't carry her shoulders and can't lift her hands, and she often goes crazy because she was fed medicine earlier.

Daddy Xue knew too many people with that face, so he took her around to find a doctor to treat her, and he wanted to avenge his mother.

What a beautiful man, ugly and thin when he left, with only a handful of bones left.

"Your Highness's favorite is my face, and now that I have become so ugly, I don't know if she will dislike it."

Xue Nuo still remembered the way he lay on the bed and stroked his face with a soft smile, when the plum blossoms were in full bloom, and he said that he was going to see his Highness.

There was a sudden dampness and heat in his eyes, and Xue Nuo hurriedly buried his head in his arm:

"I hate being hungry."

She misses her sister.

Shen Ke's brain was dizzy, the pain in his stomach when his eyes were black, his stomach was empty and he kept clamoring to stuff things in, but he couldn't stand it for just two days, not to mention those refugees who were hungry every day.

I still remember that day in front of Hu's house, he thought that Xue Nuo was extremely ridiculous when he only needed two steamed buns, but he never thought that two steamed buns might be the life of those who had been hungry for a long time.

At that time, he only cared about the things in the dream, wanting to verify whether she was the person in the dream, and only thought about cutting the grass and eradicating the roots in advance, but he forgot that things in the world have always changed, and the young Xue Nuo was not the murderous little Chitose who was later killed.

He had never thought when he tested her, and if Xue Nuo was not the person in his dream, he would cut off her life with a casual word.

Shen suddenly stretched out his hand to cover the top of Xue Nuo's head: "I'm sorry." ”

Xue Nuo looked up blankly.

"The affairs of the Hu family, as well as the affairs of your sister."

Seeing the child's face upturned and his eyes slightly reddened, he whispered, "I won't let you go hungry in the future, I promise." ”

Shen got up and walked to the closed door, opened the door and said outside, "I want to see Cui Le." ”

……

Cui Le came quickly, and when he came in, he saw Shen sitting at the table with a pale face.

Maybe he was hungry for Shen Ke for two days, and saw that he had lost his previous spirit, and after Cui Le showed the evil spirit that he had been played before, he spoke with a sense of banter when he looked at this proud son of the Shen family:

"Lord Xiao Shen came to me, but I figured it out?"

Shen raised his eyes in a loud voice: "I've always thought about it very clearly, but Master Cui can't figure it out." ”

Cui Le originally thought that Shen came to him to be soft, but he didn't expect that he would be so hard to speak at this time, and he suddenly laughed angrily: "Cui Mou doesn't want to worry about you if you don't want to understand, but Lord Xiao Shen has hard bones, it seems that my trip is in vain." ”

"Speaking of which, Lord Xiao Shen is afraid that he has never been hungry, and I don't know how many days you can bear it."

He glanced Shen up and down, and walked out.

Shen was not in a hurry at all, and only said quietly when he was about to leave the door: "Master Cui, my grandfather once taught me a truth. ”

"When you are an enemy of others, you either seize the opportunity to do something absolutely all, or don't rush out and leave a line for everything."

Cui Le paused: "What do you mean?" ”

"I remember that Lord Cui used to be an errand boy in Caoyun, he was a guard of the army, and he had a very close relationship with Cao Si to promote Zhan Changdong, and later Zhan Changdong was degraded and almost died after being reported because of the unfavorable supervision of Cao Yun, but Lord Cui suddenly got into the eyes of His Majesty and was transferred to Beijing to become the deputy general of the guard camp?"

"What the hell are you trying to say!

"What I want to say is that since Master Cui was a person of good luck, he should avoid suspicion of this illicit salt luck, do you know why Xu Lizhen obviously dislikes the Shen family to the extreme, and does not hesitate to calculate the affairs of the Hu family, but after catching me, he did not fall into the well?"

"That's because he knows that he can't hold my handle this time, he hurts me a point today, and tomorrow he will become the handle of others attacking him, he is still like this, not to mention Master Cui, who has a lot to do with Caoyun."

"You said that if people knew that you were embarrassed and found the Hu family's account book and handed it over to the court, and even intended to harm my life, what would other people think of you?"

Shen didn't speak in a loud voice, and he was even a little weak because he hadn't eaten for a long time, but his words made Cui Le's face change greatly.

"Who hurt your life?!"

"Naturally, it was Master Cui, who locked up the people of the Hanlin Academy without authorization, and humiliated and treated them in every way."

He suddenly held the unburned bamboo strip in his hand and slashed it towards his arm, and when the blood flowed down, he said, "Look, Master Cui tortured him to extract a confession in order to get the salt transportation account book. ”

"Shen Changyuan!!"

Cui Le was dumbfounded, and almost scolded him for saying "Do you want to be embarrassed".
