sixty seven
In fact, how could You Shu be really fine? That place isn't made of steel bars. How could he be fine after being tormented for a whole day and night
However, You Shu's biggest flaw is that he is too obsessed with face. Although he never dreamed that he would be the one in the lower position, being tossed around like a fish, he still has to keep his dignity even if he loses his face.
Even though the flower seemed to be blooming, You Shu was trying hard not to let anyone notice anything unusual. He felt that even if he was the one at the bottom, he had to be the strongest!
When Xiao Weixin saw him coming, his expression changed again and again, and he finally found his reason and asked in a suppressed voice: "Where is your room? Take me there."
"Yes." You Shu noticed from a stealth glance that he looked unhappy, and had some idea why, so he obediently walked back with the sword in hand. Only someone with a particularly sharp eye could see that his legs were trembling slightly.
The shadow guards' rooms are not big. There is only one small window in the entire room. It is so small that it can only accommodate a bed and a table. There is no place to put an extra chair. The entire area is not even one-tenth of the space in Xiao Weixin's bedroom.
Xiao Weixin, who witnessed all this, was very dissatisfied: "How could you only live in a place like this?"
"Your Majesty, please sit down." You Shu brought the only stool in the room and asked him to sit down. After hearing his words, he sighed, "This room is already very good."
The Shadow Guards Camp was a small place, and to support these hundreds of people, they would have to be crowded together. The palace didn't support them to enjoy themselves. Besides, as the top ten, their treatment was already good. Although the room was a little small, it was an independent space after all. The other lower-ranking Shadow Guards had to squeeze into the big bunk bed, with more than ten people sleeping in one room. That was really uncomfortable. You Shu was not greedy. For him, the bedroom didn't need to be big, as long as it was enough for sleeping.
Xiao Weixin felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He had never cared about the daily lives of the servants before, and he didn't understand the living environment of the shadow guards. Now that he saw with his own eyes how small and dilapidated this house was, his eyes were filled with ripples.
Xiao Shu has stayed in such a place for so many years.
"Come with me." Xiao Weixin whispered, "From now on, you don't have to live here anymore."
You Shu looked gentle. He slowly squatted down, holding Xiao Weixin's hand and looking up at him: "Does the prince want to take me out of here?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Weixin raised her hand and gently stroked his face, feeling unspeakable regret in her heart: "If I had known this, I should have met you earlier."
You Shu saw the pity in his eyes and suddenly smiled.
He seldom smiles, and a little smile in his eyes is the limit. Even Xiao Weixin has only seen it a few times, but every time he sees it, he can't walk. Xiao Shu looks so good when he smiles, just like the spring breeze blowing when the glaciers melt, warming people from the bottom of their hearts.
"But if you had met me earlier, I'm afraid you wouldn't have stopped for me." You Shu said firmly, "Your Majesty, you must believe that now is the best time."
"Leaving with the prince is just a matter of words." You Shu said softly, "But I still prefer to stay here."
Xiao Weixin was puzzled: "Why? Don't you want to live a better life?"
"Of course I want to go out." You Shu replied sincerely, "But now that the prince's great cause has not been accomplished, how can I appear by your side in a high-profile manner? If I really attract other people's attention, it will not be a good thing. Besides, I have lived here for many years, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer."
Xiao Weixin was silent. He didn't want to think about these things at all. This room was small, dark, damp and hot. How could he bear to let Xiaoshu live like this? It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it before, but he couldn't stand it anymore after seeing it with his own eyes.
Seeing him pursed his lips and said nothing, You Shu knew that he was unhappy, so he leaned over and whispered in his ear: "However, if the prince is alone and can't sleep at night, I might climb through the window in the middle of the night."
Xiao Weixin turned his head and saw his small red ear at a glance.
Even though You Shu acted very calm now, he was still shy to say such shameless words.
At that moment, Xiao Weixin found that he suddenly saw through this person.
"Really?" He smiled, "If that's the case, why don't you get on the bed quickly?"
You Shu shuddered slightly.
Although he said something shameless just now, he didn't ask you to come right now! Besides, didn't this guy just pull up his pants this afternoon? ?
You Shu, who was used to being obedient, still did what he was told. But he had to save some face. He was so violent yesterday because he drank the wrong wine. Today, the effect of the drug had worn off. It was really shameful for him to do such a thing in broad daylight.
You Shu buried his face in the sheets in embarrassment, hoping very much that his prince could resolve the situation quickly, otherwise if the brothers next door heard something bad happened to him, he would have no chance of living as a human being starting tomorrow, and those bastards would gossip about him until next year.
Xiao Weixin didn't know what he was thinking, so he came forward to take a closer look. As expected, he found that the wound was red and swollen, and faintly oozing blood, like a daisy that had been ravaged by wind and rain. It looked very miserable. He immediately became angry: "You are so seriously injured, why are you still trying to be strong!?"
You Shu raised his head and asked in confusion, "Is it heavy?"
How can it not be heavy
Xiao Weixin was well aware of his behavior yesterday. After all, he had been craving for it for so long that he finally got the chance to eat it. Naturally, he beat the woman to death as soon as he succeeded. Plus, it was his first time and he had almost no experience or skills in that area. He was so excited that he couldn't control himself for a moment. He completely forgot what Hua Chun had said about being careful and gentle. He knew how ruthless she was.
Fortunately, he still had the medicine given by Hua Chun.
You Shu was still distracted when he suddenly felt a cool breeze coming from the place where he was injured yesterday. Although it was still a little painful, it was much better than before. His tense nerves gradually relaxed and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Your Majesty..." You Shu felt a little embarrassed. He sat up uncomfortably and whispered, "I'll do it myself."
"Don't move!" Xiao Weixin's tone was still not good, and he was obviously still angry with him. "I looked for someone everywhere as soon as I woke up, thinking you needed someone to take care of you. Who knew you were so ignorant of life and death and still practicing martial arts without permission. Don't you think you are suffering enough?"
You Shu coughed awkwardly, and after a while he whispered back, "Then why doesn't the prince blame himself for being too fierce last night?"
Xiao Weixin felt ashamed when he mentioned this. He was so fierce because he had never eaten meat before. He had been a vegetarian for more than 20 years, so he couldn't stop eating meat. He knew he was in the wrong.
"From now on... I'll be more careful." Xiao Weixin calmed down, applied the medicine, put the bottle on the table, turned around and covered You Shu with a thin blanket.
The two of them sat and lay down, no one spoke, the room was quiet, only the sound of cicadas outside could be heard. You Shu felt that the current atmosphere was just right, he felt like he was being gently cared for, it was indeed much better than forcing himself to practice martial arts alone in the training ground.
He lay there quietly for a long time, then suddenly struggled to half-get up. Xiao Weixin quickly held him down, frowned and scolded him: "Didn't I tell you not to move around?"
"I have something to give you." You Shu explained anxiously, "It will be ready in a moment."
Xiao Weixinsong held back, "Anything else? I have already received the gift from yesterday."
"very satisfied."
You Shu almost vomited blood, thinking to himself, of course you are satisfied, it’s not you who is blooming!
He lay on the edge of the bed, head down, and groped under the bed for a long time. He dragged out a small iron box, opened it, and took out an even smaller iron box.
Xiao Weixin noticed that there were many pamphlets in the iron box and asked casually, "What are those?"
You Shu's hands trembled, and he said guiltily, "Nothing."
He took out the small iron box and quickly put it back under the bed. "This is for the prince."
Xiao Weixin took it curiously, placed it on his knees and carefully opened it. The iron box made a low "creaking" sound. He looked closely and found a neatly stacked stack of silver bills, some exquisitely crafted gold, silver and jade articles, and a small pile of broken silver and gold leaves.
"What does this mean?"
You Shu was silent for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, I am a homeless person."
"I have been alone these years and have made many plans for the future. These are my former wife's money, which was originally reserved for my future wife."
Xiao Weixin's face turned slightly pale.
"I'm not good at saying nice things, and I can't make nice promises. I don't think I'll have the chance to give these things to any girl in the future, but it's the same if I give them to you."
You Shu said this, and stole a glance at Xiao Weixin's expression. Seeing that he was not angry, he continued, "I... My father told me before that I should be a responsible man in the future. I have always believed that a man should give his money to his partner to manage, so that he can be considered responsible for the family."
"Although the prince is not a woman, I think it is most appropriate for you to give these things to."
"Besides, when I make money in the future, I'll give it all to you."
Xiao Weixin stared at You Shu's face closely. Although Xiao Shu had said so much and failed to make the main point clear, he still understood it.
Xiao Shu has always been a tongue-tied and cautious person, and he doesn't get close to others easily, but he will be moved over time. Even though he said he would think about it carefully when they first started, after these few months, he has made a decision.
The things in this iron box mean nothing to Xiao Weixin, but this little bit of property is everything to Xiao Shu, and it is the hard work he has accumulated bit by bit over the years. It contains all his beautiful expectations and visions for the future, and it is the confidence for him to start a new journey in his life.
But he gave this iron box to me, which was equivalent to implying that I was the person he could trust with his life.
Xiao Weixin suddenly felt that the box weighed a thousand pounds, so heavy that he could hardly hold it.
His throat was dry and painful. He stared at You Shu again and again, gritted his teeth and asked him: "Think it over carefully. If you give it to me, you will never be able to marry again in the future."
You Shu smiled helplessly: "What are you talking about, Your Majesty? How can I find another girl?"
The chrysanthemums are blooming so beautifully, if he wants to look for a girl again, what kind of person is he? It’s not too much to call him a beast, right
After receiving his affirmative answer, Xiao Weixin held the box tightly in his hand and said to him with a determined heart: "Even if you want to regret it in the future, it will be impossible."
"You have treated me with such care, and I will never let you down."
Xiao Weixin made up his mind to find a way to cancel his marriage with Xia Yinxiu. In the past, he thought that it would be okay to marry her to hide his identity for the sake of the overall situation, but now he is unwilling to do so.
No matter what the reason was, he couldn't bear to let Xiao Shu suffer any more injustice.
Only Xiao Shu is worthy of the position of princess by his side.
