Man Bao looked at her in surprise, and after struggling, he found that he couldn't get rid of it. Seeing that the gauze she had just wrapped was stained red again, he knew that his fingers were bleeding from exertion.
She frowned, and didn't struggle at all. She asked Keke to cross off some points to stare at Xu An in her heart, and asked, "That little servant just now is called Xu An? Who is he?"
Seeing that she wasn't leaving, Xu Yu leaned back on the pillow, just letting the bed curtain block the window, and said softly, "That's my brother."
Man Bao was astonished.
Xu Yu looked up at Man Bao, pointed to the small stool next to the bed and said, "Master Zhou, can you sit down and talk?"
Man Bao couldn't help looking at Mr. Tang outside the window, and seeing that he was still in a daze with his head up, he sat down, "Is he your brother? But your document..."
Xu Yu said, "That's not my family."
Man Bao asked: "Then what about your aunt who visits you every month?"
"It's also fake," Xu Yu said expressionlessly, "Everything is fake, my only family member in this world is Xu An."
"But he's not a bad person. He doesn't know anything, not even that I'm his sister..." Xu Yu lowered his voice, put his hands on the side of the bed, and said softly, "He was too young when he entered the palace, and he was with me again. I staggered, so I don't have much memory, unlike me, I was already sensible when I entered the palace."
Man Bao opened her mouth wide. Obviously, the news had shocked her so much that it took her a while to recover.
Xu Yu looked at Zhou Man, looked at her expectantly and said: "Master Zhou, I know that you are kind and kind, and you are very talkative in front of the crown prince. I am willing to tell you everything, including all the spies I know. , I have a list, and I will tell you where it is, in exchange for his life, okay?"
Man Bao's throat was a little tight, and he asked: "Didn't you say that he doesn't know anything? If that's the case, His Royal Highness won't embarrass him. You might as well tell Brother Tang to exchange your life."
Xu Yu shook his head, "No, he didn't know anything before, as long as I'm still alive, they won't use him, but my chess piece is going to be useless, and now they transfer him to Chongwen Hall, just to Let him continue my business, this is the road of no return."
Her tears fell drop by drop, "Being a servant in the palace is still a half-human, if you are more cautious, you can still survive, but once they are used by them, you are not even a half-human."
She looked at Man Bao with tears in her eyes and said, "I know, you have suspected me for a long time. Several times, you didn't want me to tidy up your bookshelves. When I got up and stared at you at night, I could feel that you seemed to be looking at me through a wall."
Man Bao and Ke Ke: …
"But you didn't expose me. I heard from Eunuch Wu until the accident happened, and you even interceded for me and His Highness the Crown Prince." Xu Yu looked at her and said, "Master Zhou, I can only trust you."
Man Bao opened his mouth, glanced at Mr. Tang outside the window, and finally nodded, "Tell me, who is the person who ordered you?"
Xu Yu shook her head, "I don't know."
Man Bao: ...
Seeing Zhou Man's eyes widen, Xu Yu said: "I really don't know, I only get tasks from my aunt, and I will do whatever the people above tell me to do."
"Who sent you into the palace, you don't know?"
Xu Yu nodded.
It is precisely because of this that she has never dared to betray.
She said: "I don't remember where my family is. I only remember that when we were five or six years old, there was a military disaster there, and some people rebelled. Those bandit soldiers rushed into my house. My father protected us and ran out, and then my father died. , my mother separated from us, and my brother was the only one left with me at that time."
"At that time, my younger brother was only two years old, and the road was difficult to walk, so we had to beg on the road," Xu Yu said, "We don't know whether it is good or bad luck. Someone saw our siblings and killed us." It was taken."
"At that time, he took away many children who died of parents like us or were separated from their parents, and raised us in a Zhuangzi. We had to learn to read and learn many things every day. Because I learned fast, so I can see my brother once a month."
Man Bao asked, "Did you study separately?"
Xu Yudao: "Boys and girls have to be separated and cannot meet each other. Even girls who reach a certain age will be taken to other villages and not shown to other girls. I heard what my aunt and the others mean. , can’t let people remember their appearance, even if we are together.”
Man Bao shuddered.
"I studied in Zhuangzi for a total of two and a half years. When I was less than eight years old, they named me Xu Yu. They sent me to a family named Xu in Xuzhou, which is the name on my document. I was bought into the palace from my parents’ house. They only took me away from Zhuangzi at that time, but later I saw several familiar people in Yeting Palace, and I asked them quietly. I was purchased from various places in the same year."
Man Bao couldn't help feeling a chill down his spine.
"In the beginning, they didn't let us do anything, just let us abide by the palace rules and live in the palace." Xu Yu said: "The aunt who brought me said that some people may not be able to use them all their lives. Those who don’t need it are blessed.”
"So I have always been cautious in doing things, and I dare not stand out." Xu Yu didn't know what to think, and his face was full of pain, "But within two years, I saw Xu An when I was out of Anfumen to deliver things. A big broom is cleaning the Shunyi Gate."
"They lied to me!" Xu Yu said, "They said that as long as I work hard in the palace, they will let Xu An study and read in the Zhuangzi instead of sending him outside. He was sent to the palace, he was only five years old, he was only five years old..."
"Aunt Xu said that it was because I was disobedient and I didn't work hard in the palace, so the master decided to send Xu An in. She also said that he is only entering the palace now. If I am not obedient, the master will Abandon me and use him." Xu Yu said with tears: "I know, in this palace, either I die or he dies, and the two siblings have to choose one to go into the water."
"I don't know who the master is, but I figured it out later. Aunt Xu is lying, and all of them are lying. Master, he probably doesn't even know who I am, and it's even less likely that he designed it for me, a little guy. My brother. Everything is false, including the promises made to me, and what he once said to me are all false. "
Xu Yu stared at Zhou Man with bloodshot eyes and said, "They just use us as pawns. In order to make us pawns come to life, all means can be used. Mr. Zhou, tell me, can I still trust them?"
Man Bao shook his head again and again.
