Xu Yu's body was moved to a simple room in the courtyard where the servants lived, which is usually the place where the servants who committed crimes were detained.
Most of the servants and maids who died in the palace were directly thrown on the cart and pulled out to be buried.
Also, those who committed crimes like Xu Yu basically died in the Punishment Department, and their bodies were temporarily buried in the Punishment Department, and they were dragged out and thrown away after the case was understood.
As a result, she was lucky, she was able to go to the Punishment Department for treatment before she died, and she died outside. The Punishment Department has always only accepted people, not corpses.
And Xu Yu's case was not counted, so Eunuch Wu just found a place to park the body at that time, before he had time to deal with it.
Man Bao didn't need to look for Eunuch Wu, he found one of Eunuch Wu's servants and went there.
Xu Yu's body was casually placed on a wooden board with a quilt covering her body. Seeing that both Man Bao and Xu An were standing still, Bai Shan took the initiative to lift off the quilt, revealing only her head and face.
The chopsticks around her neck have been taken out, the clothes on her body are almost stained red, and her face is still covered with blood. Obviously, no one has cleaned it up for her.
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment or stepped aside so that Xu An behind him could see her.
Xu An took two steps forward, lowered his head and quietly looked at the person lying on the board. After watching for a long time, he finally found some things that seemed to be related to her from his memory. It seemed that he had seen her in Ye Ting Palace , It's just that when the two of them passed by, the other party didn't stop.
Speaking of his sister, he still thinks more of the memory of a very vague little girl stuffing snacks into his hands when he was very young.
Xu An took another two steps forward and looked at Xu Yu carefully. He remembered that when he delivered the food box to Doctor Zhou early this morning, he looked up and saw that she was still sitting on the bed, and seemed to be in good spirits.
Xu An opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't make a sound for a while, so he simply closed his mouth again.
Bai Shan pulls Man Bao, and the two of them pull Bai Erlang and Yin Or out.
The four of them sat on the railing outside and waited.
As soon as the four of them left, the tears in Xu An's eyes fell down big and big. He walked to the edge of the board and knelt down to look at her.
He pulled out his sleeve and wiped the blood on her face carefully, because the blood was already dry, and he couldn't wipe it clean for a while.
He simply knelt down on the ground and stared at her blankly. It took him a while to see some similarities on her face, and he barely found the same appearance as her childhood from his memory.
Xu An thought of something, and hastily stretched out his hand and tore open some of her skirts, and pulled out a somewhat dull red rope from the inside. There was some blood on the rope, and a very small safety knot was tied on it.
Xu An pulled out the same red string from his collar.
He couldn't bear it anymore, lay on her body and suppressed crying.
This was given to the two of them by my sister when she first learned to tie a knot. They could not leave marks on them, nor could they send tokens to each other.
Such things as the peace knot are usually hung on the waist by the nobles, and my sister made a very small one for him and herself, which can be worn around the neck, and can be kept in the bosom during class, so that the stewards will not see it.
He has been keeping it carefully, for fear of accidentally leaving it behind.
The four people sitting outside couldn't help sighing when they heard the low cries coming from the room. Everyone's shoulders were a little slumped.
Yin You asked Man Bao in a low voice, "The matter hasn't been spread yet, only us and Brother Tang Xuexiong and His Royal Highness know about it, but once the palace releases the investigation, they will definitely guess that you are involved. Xu An also What can you do if you can deliver it to my house?"
Man Bao shook his legs and said nothing.
Bai Shan said: "Don't worry, we know that, most of us still live in the palace, they don't dare to do anything."
Bai Shan turned his head to look at Man Bao and said, "When will you go to the Imperial Medical Office tomorrow?"
Man Bao said: "It's time."
Bai Shan then nodded his head, knowing it well.
Xu An stayed in the house for a long time, and when he came out, his eyes were swollen badly. When he saw Man Bao, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Man Bao hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up, but he knelt and did not move, but kowtowed again and said: "Master Zhou, this servant wants to get a basin of water to tidy up her remains and change her into clean clothes. I also ask Mr. Zhou to complete it."
After thinking for a while, Man Bao nodded and said: "Her clothes are still in the room, I'll find a set to help her change in a while, and you can do the rest yourself."
She paused and then said: "When the palace finishes investigating the case, I will tell Eunuch Wu and send the body out later, so you can take it and bury it."
Xu An looked up at Man Bao in surprise, and asked, "I, do I want to leave the palace?"
Man Bao nodded slightly, then pointed at Yin Yu and said: "I have already made an agreement with Mr. Yin, you will follow him for the time being, you know, the palace is not safe, and I am just a little doctor now, so I can't protect you for the time being." , so you follow Mr. Yin first."
Yin or slightly nodded to Xu An.
Xu An didn't expect Zhou Man to even think of this, and he hasn't asked him about other things about the meticulous work until now.
He opened his mouth, and finally kowtowed solemnly, choked up and said: "Yes, thank you Mr. Zhou and the three young masters."
Man Bao went to find a set of Xu Yu's clothes. In fact, she only had palace clothes and basically had no other clothes.
And she is smaller than her, and her clothes are not suitable for her, so she can only change into palace clothes.
Xu An didn't mind at all, it would be nice to have a change of clean clothes.
He wiped off the blood on her face and neck, looked carefully, and felt that she resembled him more and more, it was really strange, they were clearly in the palace together before, why couldn't he recognize her
They said that my sister was sent to another mansion, and she might become a concubine in the future, and the child she gave birth to would still be a son.
But it turned out that they were in the palace together
Still so close, she knew him, but he didn't recognize her.
Xu An threw the veil back into the tub, looked at her carefully, and then picked up the new quilt he brought and covered her.
It was getting dark now, and the four of them pulled him away together.
Bai Shan said: "Since you are sent by Eunuch Wu to serve us, then you can sleep in our room tonight."
Xu An opened his mouth, and nodded under the eyes of the four people. He was also a little confused at this moment, not sure how to go in the future, did he really want to go out of the palace with them
At night, he was lying on the footrest and couldn't fall asleep. Bai Shan who was sleeping on the bed suddenly said in a low voice: "Xu An, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, because a gentleman must accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. To take revenge, you must know how to be patient." , Otherwise, it’s just moths to the flame. It will not only fail the four of us, but also your sister.”
In the dark night, Xu An opened his eyes and looked at the roof, and asked softly: "I am a rootless duckling, can I really take revenge?"
Bai Shandao: "Actually, your sister has already avenged herself. She has already stabbed them like a sharp knife and tore off a large piece of flesh and blood. She can do this in a hurry, let alone you What? I have always believed that there is a way in heaven, and there is a virtue of good life. If they do many unrighteous actions, they will always be backlashed."
