Thirty-fourth bowl of soup (three & four)
Nan Shuang turned his back to Qing Huan, not daring to turn his head, even if he was blind, he didn't want his sister to see what he was like now.
The arrogance and domineering he showed was actually just to cover up the despair and inferiority deep in his heart. Nanshuang could maintain a cold mask in front of anyone, but he couldn't in front of Nanyan alone. He was ashamed of his sister and dared not face her.
So Nanshuang's first reaction was to run away. He wanted to push his sister away with all his strength, but Qing Huan pulled the hem of his clothes so hard that he didn't dare to use any force, for fear that Qing Huan would fall down. So he immediately tore off a corner of his robe, and strode forward as if there was a scourge chasing after him.
The little eunuch on the side was stunned. Grandpa Nan is moody and extremely clean. No one knows that even if the emperor soiled his clothes, he would lose his temper, but now he voluntarily tore up his clothes and fled? !
How could Qing Huan let him escape? Nan Shuang ran fast, and she chased even faster. This time Qing Huan hugged Nan Shuang from behind and said, "If my brother refuses to recognize me, it's okay for me to live alone in this world." It's fun, it's better to die!"
Nan Shuang grabbed her hands, wanted to refuse, but couldn't refuse. In the end, he still chose to turn around and hug Qing Huan tightly into his arms. He is slender and slender, but compared to the body Qing Huan is using now, he is one size bigger, but such a man is trembling slightly.
Qing Huan hesitated for a few seconds, then patted him on the back lightly, and said softly: "Brother, don't be afraid, I will protect you in the future."
His sister said that she would protect him... Tears slowly dripped from Nanshuang's empty eyes, he took a light breath, and said to Qing Huan, "Are you working in the imperial dining room now?"
"En." Qing Huan nodded. "I entered the palace to find my elder brother. Now that I have found my elder brother, I will naturally not stay in the imperial kitchen anymore. Elder brother, take me with you. I want to follow you."
Nan Shuang nodded: "But brother doesn't have time to accompany you every day."
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can be with my brother." This is Nanyan's best wish, as long as the brothers and sisters can meet again, recognize each other, and never be separated. They are the only remaining relatives of each other, and no one in the world is closer than them. The same blood flows in the body, so even if they are separated for more than ten years, they cannot match the affection passed down by blood.
Nan Shuang didn't say anything, but just stroked her sister's hair. His dark double pupils couldn't reveal any emotion, but his expression at the moment was extremely stern, as if he had made a very important decision.
Because he was the emperor's confidant, Nan Shuang was given to live in the emperor's bedroom, so that he could be sent by the emperor at any time for twelve hours.
He placed Qing Huan in his room, let her live here, and ordered several eunuchs and maids to take good care of the girl. As for Qing Huan's original status in the Imperial Dining Room—Nan Shuang didn't care at all. He easily dealt with being favored like a concubine, not to mention just asking a little maid to be by his side
Qing Huan asked: "I live here, where do you live, brother?"
Nan Shuang's expression distorted for a moment, but soon returned to its original state: "You don't have to worry about me, I have my own place to go."
Heh, he has his own place to go, he doesn't need to live here, because he has never lived here a few times! The emperor valued him so much that he let him sleep with him. But Nan Shuang would never tell Qing Huan if this was the case, the emperor paid great attention to reputation, if anyone other than his confidants knew about their relationship, they would definitely not keep alive, so Nan Shuang repeatedly told the eunuch to serve Qing Huan The palace ladies are optimistic about the girl and must not let the girl walk around.
Fortunately, every time the emperor tortured him, he was in the secret room, even if Qing Huan broke into the main hall, he couldn't find him right away.
Nan Shuang said a few words to Qing Huan before leaving, he was not ready to face his sister yet. But Qing Huan took his hand before he left, and asked seriously: "Brother, shall we leave here together? Don't stay here anymore. The feng shui here is bad, and the people are very bad. You and I'll go."
Hearing this, Nan Shuang just chuckled, rubbed Qing Huan's hair as if "seeing" an innocent child, and said, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? Brother is doing well in the palace, don't you Don’t you know that brother is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor? Even if the empress sees me, I will give you three points. But if you leave the palace, brother is a eunuch or a blind man, and he can’t even live a normal life. Wouldn’t it be a drag on you?”
Nan Shuang's heart was bleeding when she said these words. He hated and poisoned the emperor, but the other party had already drugged him to restrain him. If he wanted to survive, he could not hurt the emperor at all. But in front of his sister, he had to rely on the emperor's "favor" to prove his high position. Nan Shuang once again felt deeply humiliated.
"But you are not happy at all. Even if we are not in the palace, we can live well, and I will take good care of you. Brother, come with me." Qing Huan tugged Nan Shuang's hand again.
Nan Shuang was unwilling: "Don't mention this again in the future."
He can't go, at least not right now. In the past, he didn't want to die because his sister's whereabouts were unknown, but now that his sister was found, he couldn't die anymore. He endured so much humiliation, his hands were stained with blood, and he managed to get to where he is today. He wants to give his sister a better life, and these sufferings must not be in vain!
He wants to protect his sister, but also to take revenge! The emperor thought he had tamed him into a dog that could only kneel and lick, but Nan Shuang didn't care. A man can bend and stretch, and one day, he will make the emperor pay the price!
And this day is not far away.
After saying the last sentence to Qing Huan, Nan Shuang got up and left. Although he is blind, his hearing is excellent, and the wind and grass around him cannot be hidden from his ears at all. If Qing Huan hadn't known that he was really blind, she would never have believed that he was really blind.
Apart from being invisible, Nan Shuang's performance was no different from ordinary people.
Because she found her younger sister, Nan Shuang has been restraining her eccentric temper. A little eunuch bumped into him, and he made the other side back without even saying a word. If it was him in the past, he would probably have beaten the little eunuch to his knees.
The emperor thought that everything was under control, but he didn't know that sometimes, playthings would backfire.
At night, Qing Huan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. She felt that Nanshuang seemed to be plotting something big, but she didn't know it. For Nanshuang, these fifteen years of torture were not only physical, but also spiritual. He realized that it was because he had double pupils that he brought disaster to the Nan family, so he couldn't forgive himself. If he wasn't allowed to take revenge, he would never be able to get out of this strong self-blame and self-loathing for the rest of his life.
But revenge... Qing Huan pinched her fingers to calculate, and suddenly, her eyes lit up!
What a great opportunity, Nan Shuang should thank him for having such a good sister as Nan Yan. While Qing was laughing happily, he suddenly heard the eunuch's elongated voice report that the emperor had returned.
After thinking about it, she got up and put on her shoes and socks, tied up her skirt, and slipped out of the window lightly. The eunuchs and maids serving her were all outside, so no one noticed. For this reason, Qing Huan stuffed the pillow into the quilt to make it look like someone was sleeping, and put down the curtain.
With a light tap of her toes, she reached the top of the bedroom, and quietly lifted off a piece of glazed tile. The night was getting dark, but she was quietly crouching on the roof of the hall, and no one noticed her.
In the center of the sleeping hall, in front of the dragon bed, the emperor waved his hand to make everyone retreat, leaving only Nan Shuang in front of him. When there was no one around, the emperor said to Nan Shuang, "Not yet."
Nan Shuang knelt down on the ground with a plop, and crawled towards the emperor with her knees over her feet. He is blind, unable to see things, and can only judge the opponent's position from the emperor's voice. Just like that, he crawled over step by step, and raised his face obediently listening to the emperor's words.
Even though she couldn't see the emperor's face, Qing Huan could tell from the way he stroked Nanshuang's face how much he was infatuated with Nanshuang's face.
With a sound of "slap", Nan Shuang turned her head away from the slap, the corner of her mouth burst, and bright red blood slowly flowed out. But he was born extremely beautiful, although the left cheek was red and swollen, it set off the coquettish beauty of those double pupils which was even more captivating.
"Don't know how to serve me, huh?"
Qing Huan bit her lower lip, the emperor's attitude clearly did not regard Nan Shuang as a human being, after Nan Shuang heard his words, she opened her red lips, and used her mouth to change the emperor's clothes bit by bit, dragon robe, middle coat, inner coat There are obscene trousers, even the emperor's soap boots and white socks, which he took off with his mouth.
But the emperor did not let him go because of his submissiveness, but grabbed Nan Shuang by the collar. He looked at his face, Nanshuang's eyes were blank, the emperor smiled lightly, and pinched his red and swollen cheeks lightly, Nanshuang snorted, and the emperor said: "No one else knows. Grandpa Nan, you looked so lowly when he was under me, right?"
Nan Shuang said: "Isn't the emperor just like slaves like this?"
"Hmph, you bastard." The emperor said with a sneer. "Even that thing is gone, you are no longer a man, and who are you still showing your face to?"
Nan Shuang said, "I dare not."
"You don't dare? I even let you kill Concubine Zhen, but you are lucky. You still look like you are dying when you look at me. Why, after so many years, how have I treated you? Can't you tell?"
Nan Shuang showed a smile that was not a smile: "Then what does the emperor want from the servant? The servant has a pair of tricks, but he can't see the emperor."
Hearing this, the emperor became faintly angry, so he slapped Nan Shuang again. Nan Shuang was slapped to the ground by this merciless slap, her head fainted faintly.
"It seems that if you don't teach you for a few days, you will start to lose your sense of heights again. It's been fifteen years, Shuang'er, why are you always misbehaved? You always have to suffer a little before you know how to give in to me." After finishing speaking. , like a chicken, picked up Nanshuang, pressed a mechanism under the dragon bed, and walked in with Nanshuang.
Look at the emperor's attitude, where he treats Nan Shuang as a human being, it's as if he is treating a plaything that is not very obedient but he likes it more. He beat and scolded Nan Shuang frequently, castrated Nan Shuang, blinded him, tortured and humiliated Nan Shuang for fifteen years, but blamed Nan Shuang for being ungrateful.
Qing Huan thought for a while on the top of the hall, and flew down lightly. Although Nan Shuang had lived like this for fifteen years, Qing Huan didn't want him to continue living like this. No one deserved to be treated like this. Nanshuang had indeed killed many people, and his crimes were serious, but who caused all that
There were quite a few guards guarding the entrance of the main hall, so Qing Huan went to her room through the window, and unobtrusively knocked down the eunuch and maid who was watching her outside. The emperor allowed Nanshuang to live in the hall, which made it easier for Qing Huan to sneak in.
She came to the dragon bed, groped around, found the mechanism, activated it, and quickly entered the secret room. The secret passage was pitch black, Qing Huan held her breath, and after walking a few steps, she heard Nan Shuang begging for mercy in a crying tone.
Although she has only known Nanshuang for a day, Qing Huan is very accurate at seeing people. Nanshuang is definitely not the kind of person who can't bear hardships. Sure enough, she quietly poked her head to see that the emperor was putting "instruments of torture" on Nanshuang, and Nanshuang's behavior It was wonderful, the voice seemed so painful, slightly crying, weak and powerless, and said words of begging for forgiveness.
The expression was also in place, but Qing Huan could see clearly that the smile on the corner of his mouth was clearly mocking.
The emperor thought that he really tossed Nanshuang, so he was very excited. Qing Huan looked around, the secret room was not so much a secret room, it was more like a cage, and the walls were covered with various instruments of torture. At this moment the emperor asked Nan Shuang: "Do you hate me, huh? Do you hate me?"
Nan Shuang was still crying, and she really made the image of a beauty with pear blossoms and rain to the extreme: "Slave, slave dare not..."
"Don't dare, or don't hate?"
Nan Shuang cried and didn't answer. What the emperor saw was his fragility and beauty, and the appearance of the chief executive who was so glamorous in front of outsiders showing his weakness and helplessness in front of him, but what Qing Huan saw was only Nanshuang's forbearable hatred and resentment.
If one day he had a chance to get rid of the emperor, Qing Huan thought, that method must be very, very, very cruel.
Seeing the emperor picked up the thin blade and cut thin bloodstains on Nanshuang's body, Nanshuang's muscles twitched and trembled because of the pain, but the emperor was laughing.
Qing Huan couldn't bear it anymore, she opened the iron door of the secret room, the emperor immediately turned back when he heard the strange movement: "Boldly—"
Before he could finish speaking, Qing Huan slapped him to the ground. She tied him up again immediately, and then went to untie Nanshuang who was tied to the wood. Although Nan Shuang couldn't see, she had excellent hearing, so she immediately asked, "Xiao Yan? Is that you? Is it Xiao Yan?"
Qing Huan didn't want to answer at first, but Nan Shuang's eagerness made her a little sad, and she sighed softly: "It's me."
"Who, who let you in? Get out! Get out!" Nan Shuang was terrified in her heart, being seen by her sister! Such a self... unbearable, despicable, and trampled self... "This is not the place for you! Get out! Get out!"
Regardless of his rejection, Qing Huan took his arm and said, "Brother, don't be afraid, I said I will protect you." She took off her coat and wrapped Nan Shuang around her, and said, "I killed him to replace you. revenge."
The emperor's eyes widened, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak a word.
"No! You can't kill him!" Nan Shuang hastily stopped him.
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes revealed a look of surprise. He thought that Nan Shuang had a soft spot for him, but Nan Shuang's next sentence immediately shattered his fantasy: "He has someone poisoned me, and only he knows where to hide the antidote, so he can't die. "
"It's okay, I'll just ask you." Qing Huan gave the emperor a condescending look, and suddenly smiled. She really really really hates human beings who are violent and abusive and self-righteous. Unfortunately, this old emperor happened to be such a person. The crow's feet are denser than a spider's web, and she is ashamed to ask Nanshuang to like him, and she doesn't piss and look in the mirror to see what disgusting virtue she looks like. If the halo of the emperor fades away, no one wants to sell his ass.
She took off the cloth from the emperor's mouth and asked with a smile: "Are you telling me yourself, or will you tell me after I do it? Two choices, choose one of the two, I am very fair."
The emperor snapped, "Boldly—"
"Snapped"! Qing Huan slapped him, and suggested with a soft voice and cold eyes: "You'd better think about how to speak, otherwise I will be very unhappy."
The emperor gritted his teeth, and if he didn't go out when the time came, there would naturally be guards coming in, so he just had to delay.
But he is pampered and pampered. He has lived to be almost sixty years old since he was a child. He has never suffered any crimes, let alone suffered. He has always made others suffer, and has the power to control others' life and death. Qing Huan turned around and asked Nan Shuang: "How does brother want to take revenge on him? I promise, I will get you the antidote."
Nan Shuang thought to herself, it's fine if it doesn't happen, he's had enough of living like this, he's going to die sooner or later, and his sister knows his true face, so it's better to have a good time before dying. "I will do it myself."
"That can't be done, I have to help my brother, who told me I'm a good sister." Qing Huan raised her eyebrows, she only had pity and regret for Nan Shuang, but if the real Nan Yan was here, she might kill the emperor a thousand times. There is no hatred for anything. This emperor, just because Nanshuang gave birth to double pupils, did not care about the indiscriminate accusation of the Nan family and killed the nine clans, and then coveted Nanshuang's beauty, and got her into the palace. The other party's eyes, just because they are a pair of pupils!
Having won the man, knowing that there is blood and deep hatred between each other, but still wanting Nan Shuang to fall in love with him-Qing Huan really wants to ask him, sir, is there something wrong with your brain? The concubines in the harem are chasing you one by one, do you really think that you are the sweet pastry that everyone loves
If you take away this prominent status, it's still the old saying that people who sell their butts think they look ordinary and old.
Qing Huan neatly imitated the emperor's way of tying Nan Shuang, and tied the emperor to the pillar, then chuckled: "Brother, I tied the emperor up, you can do whatever you want."
Nan Shuang also raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, at this moment he no longer concealed his dark and bloodthirsty side, God knows how tired he is of always pretending to be a little white flower in front of the emperor. If it wasn't for the antidote, how could he endure humiliation for so long? Only the old emperor would think that he still has his own prestige, and think that Nanshuang is still the ignorant and innocent boy fifteen years ago.
He has already turned into a man-eating beast.
When she was disobedient at the beginning, Nan Shuang spent two long years in this secret room, suffering day and night. The emperor didn't have time, so he changed his guards and eunuchs—although these people were all killed by the powerful Nan Shuang later, those memories still existed in his mind.
Therefore, he is very familiar with this room, so familiar that he knows where something is placed. Nan Shuang walked up to the emperor, and stretched out his hand to feel his face. The emperor is old and unable to do what he wants, which is why he has become more vicious towards Nanshuang in recent years. He never let Nan Shuang touch his face, because he himself knew that his wrinkled face was no longer as handsome as when he was young and strong.
But now that Nanshuang was touching his face, those hands that once made the emperor think they were as beautiful as green onions were now like the letter of a poisonous snake.
He once tortured Nanshuang for being disobedient, and then soaked Nanshuang's almost crippled hands in ice water in the middle of winter, all because Nanshuang refused to change his clothes.
He also threw Nan Shuang into the guards to play with because Nan Shuang was struggling under him. Such a beautiful man, even if he is not a woman, is still full of temptation.
He also whipped Nan Shuang, because Nan Shuang's double pupils were too stubborn, and seemed to have endless determination, so he ordered someone to blind him. He put all his negative emotions on Nan Shuang, and he even castrated Nan Shuang because he was a man!
For the old emperor, if he can't let you be my woman, he wants you to be my personal eunuch and stay by my side every day.
If it's not a woman, wouldn't it be good to cut off that thing? This was the emperor's regret, so he always asked Nanshuang to dress up as a woman, put on makeup, and walk like a woman.
But no matter what, Nanshuang is not a woman.
"Little smoke."
"Um?"
"You go out and wait for brother, what brother is going to do is not for you to see." Even though he was in such a miserable situation, Nan Shuang still didn't want his sister to see it. He was already dirty and filthy, and he didn't want her to think he was vicious.
Qing Huan responded kindly: "Good brother."
When Qing Huan left, Nan Shuang showed a beautiful smile to the emperor in front of him: "Now is our time."
He rarely smiles, especially when he smiles so brightly and beautifully. The emperor has always liked Nan Shuang's smile, but at this moment, stared at by those empty eyes, the emperor couldn't help but tremble all over.
Qing Huan walked out of the secret room and sat cross-legged outside, yelling. Anyway, once the walls were closed, they couldn't hear it. The emperor was afraid that people would know his Long Yang habit, so he built the secret room extremely concealed, and paid special attention to sound insulation.
Now it's his own blessing.
Qing Huan waited outside for about an hour before Nan Shuang came out. She sat on the ground and grabbed the hem of his clothes. Nan Shuang was stunned for a moment, reached out to find where she was, and then hugged her tightly.
