Chapter 11: Water, a Lot of Water
The hot water that flooded his head made Dongyu wake up instantly, and he grabbed it indiscriminately, but the walls of the barrel around him were extremely smooth, and his fingers couldn't grasp the point of focus at all.
As the water continued to pour into his nasal cavity, Dongyu struggled in no direction in a panic.
Suddenly, he touched a warm object, like grasping a life-saving straw and squeezing it hard.
A muffled grunt came from overhead.
In the next second, there was a sharp pain in his throat, and Dongyu was like a chick caught by an eagle being carried out of the water.
"Bastard."
Mu Jingyan's face was full of murderous aura, his eyes were gloomy, he originally wanted to see what tricks Dongyu was playing, but this guy dared to ......
There was a faint pain in his body, and Mu Jingyan's palm was slightly closed, almost strangling the person in front of him like this.
Dongyu showed no signs of struggling at all, his arms were folded, his cheeks were abnormally red, and his open eyes were hollow, as if he was deep in fear through a cloud of fog.
His lips trembled and he muttered something in his voice.
Mu Jingyan narrowed his eyes and brought the person closer, and a quiet breath rose to the tip of his nose.
"Water...... Lots of water ......."
The delicate cry like a mosquito made Mu Jingyan's face flash with surprise.
The Qiaoshi crown on his head had already fallen off in struggle, and Dongyu's jet-black hair was draped over his shoulders, dripping with water.
Obviously, the confinement on her neck was in charge of life and death, but she subconsciously only cared about holding on to the wall of the barrel for fear of falling into the water again, and even unconsciously leaned her body towards Mu Jingyan, just as he was a driftwood that saved her life when she drowned.
The close body only has a delicate touch like nephrite under his hand.
Mu Jingyan let go of his hand like an electric shock, and without support, Dongyu sank into the water without any reaction.
This time, even the bubbles surging up were much less, and Mu Jingyan couldn't, so he could only stretch out his hand and fish people out of the water again.
Looking at the Dongyu who had passed out with his eyes closed.
As long as he lets go of his hand again, he can let this mysterious eunuch die silently, not only will no one suspect anything, but Dongyu will drown himself because of dereliction of duty, and his body will be thrown into the wilderness, and he can't even enter the slave grave.
"Ah Niang ......"
The unconscious muttering of the unconscious person instantly made Mu Jingyan's throat tighten, and his dark eyes were full of turbulent struggle, and after a while, his complexion returned to calm.
"That's it, Qin Feng."
The curtain of the tent moved silently, and a guard-like person appeared in front of Mu Jingyan.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he was shocked, "This eunuch ......"
Facing Mu Jingyan's eyes with a layer of frost, Qin Feng shuddered and hurriedly stared at the tip of his shoe.
"Send him back."
"Didn't you kill?"
Qin Fenghu plucked out his ears suspiciously, thinking that he had heard it wrong, and seeing that Mu Jingyan was already frowning impatiently, he responded in a daze and picked up Dongyu with one hand and walked out.
I don't forget to mumble suspiciously to myself.
"Why is it so light?"
When the sound disappeared, Mu Jingyan opened his eyes again, stretched out his hand in front of his eyes, the softness he had touched just now seemed to remain in his fingertips, his tense face was a little more puzzled, his throat rolled, and he noticed the changes in his body, Mu Jingyan's face was instantly gloomy.
Directly bury your head in the water.
Dongyu didn't know that she had struggled from the death line just now, and after being thrown to her residence by Qin Feng, she was still indulging in the fear of drowning, the cloud of mist, and the feeling of suffocating and breathless pulled her into a nightmare layer by layer.
In a trance, I went back to that time.
He was blocked by the people he knew most well and pressed back to the bottom of the water over and over again.
Just to find a glimmer of life.
I watched as the dark red blood stains brought out by the arrow feathers spurted out, sprinkled on the surface of the water and stained a river of blood.
Suddenly, all that was left was suffocating silence.
The man's cold voice sounded, as if the light broke through the fog, seducing Dongyu's heart, and the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for many years found an outlet.
"Who are you crying for?"
"A-Niang...... Brother ......"
The mechanical answer made Dongyu's heart ache.
But something was wrong.
"Who are you?"
"I'm ...... Arabic. ”
Dongyu opened his eyes suddenly, and there were tears on his face that flowed unconsciously.
There was still a lingering medicinal fragrance and an unusual incense in the room, and the clothes had not been changed, and when he turned his head, the man turned against the light, and his thin lips were cold and tight.
The condescending scrutiny, as if seeing through her, made Dongyu's heart clinch together: "Your Highness ...... last night"
"You had a fever last night, and the king asked the guards around him to get you medicine. Today's hunt, you don't have to follow. ”
"Yes."
Thinking of the colorful head he heard last night, Dongyu grabbed the quilt and changed his words: "The slave is fine, just drink the medicine, and the slave will help His Highness count the prey in the rear and prepare tea and snacks." ”
Mu Jingyan snorted coldly and agreed, turned around and left to return to the tent, the guard Qin Feng had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Mu Jingyan shake off the little powder in the palm of his hand, he couldn't help but speak: "Even if he is clever, he is just a eunuch, it is true that the prince lacks a small servant, but it is nothing more than that he likes to stay, and if he doesn't like it, he will be driven out or killed, why waste such a precious spitting incense." ”
Mu Jingyan paced a few steps in the room in silence: "Go to the palace and bring up all his files over the years." ”
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and his thin lips continued lightly: "Especially the father-in-law Deng who just died, go and check if he has left anything behind." ”
