Pride in punishment
After Leng Ye was imprisoned, he was not safe and sound, his brother Leng Qing was a general at the border pass and a concubine of the court, but there are still some people who are not used to it, and would rather buy the cell boss than let him live rather than die.
"Leng Ye, come out,"
Leng Ye slowly stood up and walked out in a white undershirt, and the two jailers stepped forward, opened his shackles and handcuffs, and fixed them on the torture rack, and tied his hands tightly to the sides with ropes, and on the table next to him, there were various torture instruments.
"Leng Gongzi, I'm sorry, someone wants to make you suffer some hardships, you can bear it," immediately said to the jailer next to him who was holding a salt-soaked whip: "Beat hard," the jailer took the whip in his hand, stepped forward and hit Leng Ye's body fiercely, and when the whip went down, his clothes were torn, his skin was open, and his blood flowed.
Leng Ye didn't say a word, he knew that his brother was a general at the border pass, and he was a concubine of the current dynasty, and he was close to the current king, some people who made mistakes, and those who were sued by their brother have always hated it so much, and now that he knows that his own brother is in prison, he may find an opportunity to vent his anger.
After dozens of whips, Leng Ye's original white underwear and pants were stained red with blood, and the person was also haggard, sweating profusely, and fainted, the jailer stopped and asked, "Head, do you want to continue?"
"No need, he's a repeat offender in the court, but he's also quite pitiful, it's all for his eldest brother, let's carry him back first, don't let him die, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the king,"
The two jailers lowered the blood-stained Leng Ye from the torture rack, dragged him into the cell, put a bowl of water in front of him, locked the cell door, and left.
When Leng Qing came to the palace, he learned that Bai Wuxian was subjected to family law in order to prevent Bai Hao from entering the palace, he looked at Bai Wuxian who was sitting still, and his heart ached, but he also felt that he did not make this brother in vain, Leng Ye also had such a good brother, when Leng Ye was playing with himself in the military camp in the past, when the blood curse attacked, Bai Wuxian was by his side day and night.
"Brother Leng, it doesn't matter if I'm injured, I'm fine, now let's go to the palace to see the king, otherwise I'm afraid that Leng Ye will be in danger," Bai Wuxian endured the great pain behind him, got up and put on his clothes, and said.
"You hurt,"
"It's okay, it's a small injury, let's go,"
As soon as Bai Wuxian and Leng Qing walked out, they ran into Bai Hao, who was already waiting outside, "Where are you going?" Is this injury healing? Leng Qing really wanted to ask Bai Hao why he told the king and the queen mother about the blood curse on his brother's body, if he was afraid that his daughter was in danger, he would drive him away.
"Dad, my injuries are fine, but now Leng Ye is in danger, I have to go to see the king with Brother Leng," Bai Wuxian and Leng Qing turned to leave, ignoring Bai Hao on the side at all, Bai Hao was really going to be angry with his son and daughter, and his sons were going to come back, but now that Bai Yuyao was playing like this, she really didn't want them to come back and accompany her to mess around.
"Lord Wang, it's not good, the county lord fainted," Mo'er hurriedly ran out and said nervously.
"What, let's go,"
Bai Hao and Mo'er entered the house together, only to see Bai Yuyao's face pale, her lips chapped and colorless, lying on the bed like a corpse, motionless.
"Yao'er, Yao'er," Bai Hao hurriedly picked up the unconscious Bai Yuyao, and then said, "Go and invite Lang Zhong,"
"Yes," said the housekeeper, hurrying out.
"What's going on? The county lord is fine, how can he faint,"
Mo'er hurriedly knelt down and said: "Lord Wang, since the county lord was locked up yesterday, he has been crying and making trouble to go out, and he has not eaten a mouthful of food or water from night to today, plus the county lord is worried about Leng Gongzi, so he fainted,"
"Hey, Leng Ye, I really regret letting my daughter worship you as a teacher, you hurt my daughter," Bai Hao clenched his fists.
After Lang Zhong came over, Bai Hao slowly put Bai Yuyao down, and after Lang Zhong finished taking the pulse, he said: "Lord Wang, the county lord is overly sad, and the fainting caused by the lack of rice,"
"Then you should save my daughter,"
"Lord Wang, as long as I apply the needle, the county lord will wake up, but this heart disease requires heart medicine," everyone in Luo Guo knows that the nine county lords of the Nine Princes Mansion worshipped Leng Guogong's second son as a teacher, and now that Leng Ye has an accident and is in prison, Bai Yuyao is naturally extremely worried.
"This king knows, save the little girl," Lang Zhong immediately injected Bai Yuyao and rescued her, and the family sent Lang Zhong out.
"Dad," Bai Yuyao cried out weakly as she lay on the bed.
"Yao'er," Bai Hao stepped forward and gently helped him up.
"Dad, promise me, let my master go, he, he has never hurt anyone, Bao, including his daughter,"
"Yao'er, you eat and drink water first, okay?"
"Dad, if you don't promise me for a day, I won't eat or drink for a day,"
"Okay, Dad promised you, but for your safety, Dad won't let you stay with him,"
"Dad, I don't want to worship him as a teacher, but he relies on his daughter everywhere, and his daughter now only recognizes him as a master, and asks his father to fulfill it,"
Bai Hao slowly put Bai Yuyao down, and said tearfully: "Dad promised you," and left, Bai Yuyao suddenly put down her hanging heart, as long as Leng Ye can be safe, even if her father does not let Leng Ye enter the mansion again for the comfort of the people and the people in the future, she is willing to stay in the mountains with Leng Ye all the time, learning martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In the Imperial Study
"The minister has seen the king," Leng Qing and Bai Wuxian knelt down and saluted together.
"Get up," Mo Xuan said as he stood up.
"You all stand down, and you are not allowed to come in and serve without the order of this king," Mo Xuan said to Eunuch Li beside him.
Everyone slowly stepped back and closed the door.
Bai Wuxian, Leng Qing, and Mo Xuan sat down together, but Bai Wuxian was injured, and he couldn't help but snort, but it attracted Mo Xuan's attention.
"What's wrong with my cousin?" In the absence of outsiders, Mo Xuan and their relationship are like brothers.
"It's okay,"
"In order to intercede for Leng Ye, Brother Bai was subjected to family law by the prince," Leng Ye blamed himself.
Mo Xuan sat down and said: "It was not my wish to put Leng Ye in prison, when the queen mother forced me to ask about the situation when the blood curse occurred, I came out one by one, but my uncle and mother were worried about the safety of the people in the city, so they ordered him to be locked up."
Leng Qing and Bai Wuxian secretly said in their hearts at the same time: What did you say, and you said it in such detail, Leng Ye is lucky not to die.
"Your Majesty, Leng Ye has not hurt anyone except for killing a few bullies back then, and in order to prevent hurting people, he lives alone in the deserted mountains," Leng Qingdao said.
"Wang, the eighth brother was highly poisoned at the time, it was Leng Ye who saved the eighth brother with blood regardless of his own comfort, and because of this, he was counterattacked, in order not to hurt the royal family and the maid during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he trapped himself with a rope, if it wasn't for me and Doctor Hao arriving in time, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago, how could he hurt innocent people, the king and the queen mother were too worried," Bai Wuxian got up and said.
After Mo Xuan listened to the words of the two, he got up and said, "You come with this king, and this king wants to ask himself to release him and restore him to his position as a young master,"
"Your Majesty, Brother Ling doesn't like fame and fortune, and has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and now the prince doesn't want the county lord to recognize him as a teacher anymore, so Leng Qing is here to ask the king not to restore his official position," Leng Qing saluted.
"This king depends on you, but whether you recognize the master or not, you can only look at me, a cousin who has been willful since childhood," After speaking, he went to the prison with the two.
As soon as he entered the prison, he saw Leng Ye tied to the torture rack, his body covered with whip marks, and the two jailers and the cell head were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.
"Someone, quickly put Leng Ye down for me, carry him to the king's bedroom, ask the imperial doctor, and treat the injuries," the two guards came in and hurriedly untied Leng Ye, who was unconscious, and carried Leng Ye out on a soft couch.
When Leng Qing saw that his younger brother was beaten like this, he immediately became angry, and stepped forward to kick one of the jailers who was tortured to the ground, and asked, "Who told you to be tortured?"
The cell head was sweating profusely, and said tremblingly: "Hui, if you go back to the horse, yes, it is your sworn enemy Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites - Master Wen, he remembers that you taught his son a lesson in the beginning, so when he learned that Leng Gongzi was imprisoned and was about to be executed, he let the boys torture him and vent his anger for his son,"
Mo Xuan really didn't know that his most trusted scholar of the Ministry of Rites had done such a stupid thing for the son of his gentleman, but with his official position, he didn't dare to order the younger brother who was the concubine, so he thought of the Queen Mother who had always wanted to get rid of Leng Ye.
"Come on, drag the three of them out and kill them with a cane," Mo Xuan said angrily.
"Your Majesty, your majesty, spare your life," the three of them were dragged out by the guards.
Mo Xuan returned to his dormitory, looking at Leng Ye who was unconscious on the bed, he always felt a very familiar feeling with him, and he didn't know why his queen mother wanted to kill him repeatedly, and what was the connection between them.
Mo Xuan slowly walked in front of Leng Ye, and suddenly saw half a jade pendant around his neck, so he immediately took out half of the jade pendant that he had never looked at, but found that it could be put together.
Twenty years ago, when Mo Xuan, who was only six years old, was playing football alone, he accidentally entered the cold palace, but found that there was an extremely handsome lady.
"Who are you?"
"You are the crown prince, I am a concubine of sin, this ball is for you, and this jade pendant is also for you,"
"Why is it only half a piece?"
"Prince, if you meet someone with half a jade pendant in the future, you must protect him, you know? Today's matter of coming to the cold palace and jade pendant, you must not let the second person know, you know? ”
"Got it,"
The next day, the lady who claimed to be a concubine was given poisoned wine by her father, and died forever, and no one entered the cold palace.
But what does it matter, why did the queen mother treat him to death, why, Mo Xuan slowly put the jade pendant back, no matter why, he will definitely figure it out, and he will protect Leng Ye and no longer let anyone bully and hurt him.
