Bo Yunxiu didn't come again, and the hope that Xia Wenxi had just ignited gradually faded away.
She didn't know, when would such a day end
Sometimes when I calm down and think about it, I really miss my father and brother. At least they will never break their promises. They love her so much and spoil her, so she really has never tasted the sufferings of the world.
She didn't know how to live after leaving the palace, and where could she go after leaving Bo Yunxiu? It's like a solitary boat, drifting with no support, never able to reach the shore.
On the day the Xia family was questioned, the late Emperor had already fallen into a coma, no different from death, except that he still had breath.
The government has fallen into the hands of the crown prince, and Bo Yunlie can finally make a big move and kill everyone who opposes him or who he wants to kill.
In the end, Bo Yunxiu failed to protect the Xia family. In the past two months, he has been dealing with the East Palace in private. He tried his best to destroy any evidence that was unfavorable to the Xia family, whether it was false accusation, frame-up or fact, but... If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse!
The power of the East Palace was too great, even if Bo Yunxiu wanted to protect the Xia family, when the late emperor fell, everyone didn't have much fear of him, the second prince. He is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. All the officials flatter him on the surface, but in fact...
Fortunately, he still invited the Guan family to protect Xia Wenqing's life and exile... Although it was a narrow escape, it was not a decisive decision after all.
Xia Lian, behead!
Bo Yunxiu went to see Xia Li'an in the prison. The Xia University scholar, who was originally full of energy, was now wearing prison clothes, with his back to the prison door, looking up at the skylight. The light fell on him, and his hair became more and more silvery.
"Thank you, Second Prince." Xia Li'an thanked, "It's really rare to be able to come to the prison to see the officials at this time."
Bo Yunxiu's throat rolled, this was Xia Wenxi's father, he was also his father-in-law, but at this moment... his invisible son-in-law, he couldn't do anything.
"I have asked someone to take care of Xia Wenqing, and try my best to let him arrive safely." Bo Yunxiu's voice was weak, "Master Xia, I'm sorry!"
Xia Li'an was stunned, "The second prince's sentence of sorry is so strange, the guilty minister can't stand it!"
Even though the punishment was severe, Xia Li'an did not plead guilty, but at this moment he suddenly mentioned the word "criminal minister", deliberately distanced himself from Bo Yunxiu, and reminded Bo Yunxiu that their respective identities are different.
"Xi'er is with me." Bo Yunxiu lowered her eyes.
The shackles on Xia Li'an's wrist shook violently, and there was a crisp sound of iron cables colliding, and clear trembling and surprise appeared on the old face. Then, the light in his eyes gradually faded, and he finally calmed down.
"My daughter is dead!" Xia Lian said, "It's really dead!"
Bo Yunxiu stood quietly outside the cell door, her throat rolling, not knowing what to say.
"Second prince, let's go!" Xia Li'an said, "The prince is already crazy. Anyone who threatens his throne and hinders him will end up like this. Go!"
Bo Yunxiu bowed slightly as a salute, turned around and walked out.
"Take good care of her." Xia Lian choked up.
Bo Yunxiu's feet stagnated slightly, and he finally left without looking back.
Will do!
It's just that Bo Yunxiu didn't expect that Xia Wenqing's leg would be exchanged for his care.
When escorting the Xia family and other prisoners to the place of exile, they passed through an uninhabited forest area. Xia Wenqing was pressed to the ground, and a huge stone was thrown down hard. Describe in words.
The heart-piercing sound shook the wilderness.
Except for the wild birds flying together, no one will know, and no one will pursue it.
Xia Wenqing didn't know how she survived, and was carried to the place of exile along the way.
The old servants of the Xia family saved up food and drink for each of them, and fed him quietly. When they were resting on the way, they saw herbs or plants to stop bleeding, and stayed quietly, chewing and chewing on his wound in the middle of the night. Healing his wounds little by little.
Once, he was the eldest son of the scholar's mansion, suave and talented.
Fighting wine with people against poetry, how willful it is.
How willful the first half of life is, how miserable the second half of life is.
It turns out that everything in the world has a definite number, and if you go too far, you have to pay it back...
When he arrived at the place of exile, Xia Wenqing was only breathless, skinny and skinny. He thought about dying, and he was unwilling to suffer such a shame and humiliation. He used to live too smoothly, but the current setbacks can be described as fatal to him.
A romantic and suave son, a down and out disabled prisoner.
Falling from the top of the mountain into the abyss is not the pain of life that everyone can bear.
But then one night in the middle of the night, someone told him that his sister was still alive, and if he wanted to get together with siblings, he had to live well. He didn't know who this person was, and he didn't know whether the words were true or not, so it was right to give him the belief to live.
From that day on, the youthful spirit disappeared, the elegant man disappeared, and only Xia Wenqing, a sinful slave who succumbed to reality, remained.
Xia Wenqing worked hard to live, endured the day and night toil and whipping, and gradually... got used to it, the nobility faded from her body, leaving traces of the humbleness of a slave, and she could no longer straighten her waist.
If my sister is still alive, I only hope to have the chance to meet again.
After the Xia family's accident, the Eastern Capital became more and more chaotic.
The old plum trees in Yimei Pavilion are lush and lush. The leaves are growing very well, and many new shoots have emerged. When they bloom in winter, they will definitely be more prosperous than previous years.
In the empty yard, Xia Wenxi stood quietly alone.
A Luo accompanied her. Every time the sun rose, the master would always stand in the yard in a daze. She would not go back to the house until the sun became more and more poisonous. She sat silently by the window the whole time. Come out at sunset.
"A Luo, I feel like I have died once." Xia Wenxi said suddenly.
A Luo was so startled that his heart skipped a beat, "Master, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Xia Wenxi sighed softly, went to stand under the plum tree, "There is nothing good in Yimei Pavilion, only this plum tree and A Luo are the best. I want to set up a swing here, over there Make a flower gallery and plant a small bamboo forest. Ah Luo, do you know? I really want to go home."
"Master, A Luo is with you, don't do this!" A Luo was frightened, her eyes were red.
Sometimes, even Ah Luo felt that the master was sick, not physically, but in the heart, invisible and intangible.
"Master?" Ah Luo was terrified, "What's the matter with you? Is there something wrong? Master, this servant will find a doctor for you!"
"People in the mansion ignore me." Xia Wenxi thought of Lu'er and everyone in the scholar's mansion.
The old butler is so kind and amiable. The cook always thinks of her first when she cooks delicious food. Everyone misses her like that and follows her, but she disappoints everyone.
"Master, you must be sick!" Ah Luo choked up.
Xia Wenxi nodded, "I also feel sick. Bo Yunxiu hasn't been here for a long, long time. Look at the dust on the courtyard door. I watch the dust accumulate little by little every day, and then blown away by the wind. I I really wanted to accumulate a layer of dust in my heart, but there was no wind to blow it away."
After finishing speaking, she lowered her brows and eyes, and went back to the house quietly to stay.
He promised her that he would install a swing in the yard, but what about the swing
The wind is there, but the swing is not.
No one is coming, so why talk about swings
On the other side of the backyard, there was movement from time to time, one after another sedan chairs were carried into the back door of the palace.
At the beginning, she was still agitated, but when she went to the study, Bo Yunxiu wasn't there, she didn't even have anyone to lose her temper with, so she had to swallow it herself after all.
Later, as the number of times increased, she even got used to it.
It is not so much a habit as a numbness.
Numb, looking at those sedan chairs, those beautiful women, entered the palace and became his... concubine? Or Tongfang? Even if he didn't take concubines, after a long time, men should pick a few symbolically, right
And her
Xia Wenxi lowered her eyes. She sent it up on her own initiative. She feigned death and escaped from home, and it was impossible to go home again. If a man treats you well and cuts off your escape, but he suddenly treats you badly, you really have nothing!
The current Xia Wenxi has nothing like this.
I don't know if it was telepathy, but at night, Bo Yunxiu came. Come in in the dark in the middle of the night, just like a thief, and you are not allowed to light the lamp when you come.
He just tossed her, but she didn't know where he got such strength, to the point where she didn't even have the strength to cry in the end.
She opened her eyes and wanted to see him, but wherever she looked, there was darkness; she wanted to reach out to touch him, but she had no strength, and she couldn't even lift her hand.
For a moment, she felt like a shadow in his life, an existence that could not see the light.
Probably only when it was dark, he would think of her occasionally, and he would disappear at dawn, and then she was left alone in the yard, like the weed in the corner, fending for itself.
Except for Ah Luo, no one cares about her well-being anymore.
As if aware of her emotional changes, Bao Yunxiu held her tightly in his arms, but she was still trembling, wondering if he tossed too hard and hurt her
"Xi'er, what are you afraid of?" He hugged her tightly.
But I don't know why, even though I'm holding it in my arms, I feel like I'm about to lose it, as if I can't hold it tight no matter what.
Bao Yunxiu began to panic, "Why didn't you talk? It's because I didn't come, so you feel sad, right? Xi'er, I have important things to deal with. After a while, I will always be with you with you, okay?"
She nodded, wanted to cry but couldn't shed any tears. When she raised her head, her eyes were still pitch black and she couldn't see anything.
"Xi'er, wait a little longer! Wait a little longer!" He said in a low voice.
But to her, it's a spell, wait... wait...
Endless waiting, no light in sight.
The sound was still in my ears, after dawn, Bo Yunxiu left again.
Xia Wenxi opened her eyes, only saw the empty pillow, and reached out to touch it. The place where he had been lying was cold, just like those words last night, which made her shiver.
A Luo originally thought that the master's mood would be better after His Royal Highness came here.
But now, Ah Luo was disappointed. The master's mood didn't improve much, instead, he was in a daze for longer and longer. If the master didn't vent his emotions, she didn't know how long the master could last
The army surrounded the palace, and people in the palace were panicked.
Xia Wenxi didn't go out, so naturally he didn't know what was going on outside.
A Luo didn't dare to leave Xia Wenxi's side, even if she heard the noise, she didn't dare to go out to see it.
In the palace, the wind is surging.
The followers around Bo Yunxiu betrayed him, and he was implicated for visiting Xia Li'an. When he was imprisoned, he knew that he might die here. Death is nothing to be afraid of, but how could he be willing to let her go
So dead, what can she do
He never told her what happened outside, for fear that she would be unbearable and frightened, but if he died...
Bo Yunchong knelt in front of Guan Shengxue, "Mother, concubine, please save the second child! Although he was not your own, he was raised by you after all. What is the difference between him and your own son? The second child has a pure nature and has never What unreasonable things have you done, why even he... "
"Shut up!" Guan Shengxue snarled, "At this time, I am a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, so why should I meddle in other business? After all, he is not my own son, and his mother and concubine are the emperor's favorite Nan Guifei! You Believe it or not, if you have an accident with him, your father will protect him and abandon you?!"
"So mother and concubine must be as ruthless as father and emperor? Father and concubine will abandon me, and mother and concubine will abandon the second child." Bo Yunchong got up angrily, "Your hearts are so cruel, we juniors will never be able to do it, ruthless like you .”
"What are you doing?" Guan Shengxue shouted.
Bo Yunchong walked out, "If you don't help, I'll go find someone by myself, I'll go to my uncle, my grandfather, and the prime minister. As long as I can save my second child, even if I'm asked to kneel down and beg the prince, I'm willing!"
"Come back!" Guan Shengxue scolded angrily, "Bo Yunchong, figure it out, who is your real brother?"
Bo Yunchong turned around angrily, with a strong anger on his face, "Do you think I don't know? One less prince means one less person to compete for the throne. Mother and concubine, the heart is full of flesh. I grew up with my second child. You want me to watch him die, I can't do it!"
"You!" Guan Shengxue gritted her teeth, "His mother and concubine bewitched the emperor, but he even deceived you, such a person should be damned!"
"Mother and concubine!" Bo Yunchong yelled angrily, "There is no such thing as whether you should die or not. You think it's because the father dotes on him, and you think he's blocking the fourth child's way. I'm different from you, that cold chair, I'm not interested. I, Bo Yunchong, will not fight for the throne in this life, only for brothers!"
Guan Shengxue couldn't stop him, and seeing Bo Yunchong striding out, he was so angry that his seven orifices smoked.
Ding Quan stepped forward, "Master, what are you going to do now?"
"Sure enough, sure enough!" Bo Yunchong raised his head and sighed softly, "I'm so pissed off!"
"Master, you have to find a way now. Go see the second prince first." Ding Quan said, "You must know what the second prince is thinking now. If he has backup, won't we save trouble?"
Bo Yunchong raised his eyebrows, "You have a good brain!"
"Oh my god, the master praised the slave!" Ding Quan followed with a smile.
Even if Bo Yunchong was beaten to death, he never thought that Bo Yunxiu would end up in such a situation.
Drenched in blood, he was hung on the torture rack, and the whip dipped in chili water was lashed at him fiercely. Perhaps he was numb from the pain, but Bao Yunxiu's face was pale and pale, but he didn't cry out in pain.
"Stop!" Bo Yunchong gritted his teeth and rushed forward.
The cruel official's whip could not be stopped, and it fell on Bo Yunchong's body fiercely. The pain made him take a few steps back, gasped and shouted, "It hurts! It hurts me to death!"
Ding Quanhe and Congshan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and quickly supported Bo Yunchong to sit aside.
The cruel official was stunned. The prince said that the second prince must be pleaded guilty, but he didn't say... the eldest prince!
When the cruel official came forward to salute in a hurry, Bo Yunchong pulled the whip and whipped it back, "If you dare to do anything to my brother again, I will chop you up and feed the dog, get out!"
With this shout, Bo Yunchong felt the pain on his body was getting worse, and he didn't know how the second child could bear it? He didn't even hold back a whip, he almost cried and called his mother!
When Bo Yunxiu was released, his consciousness was already blurred, and he only woke up after being sent back to the cell.
"Second brother?" Bo Yunchong looked at his bloody appearance, his eyes were red and red, "These bastards dare to treat you like this, I will chop them up. Don't worry, I will take care of it for you in the house! No matter how arrogant the prince's people are, they will never dare to steal your palace before you are convicted."
After all, the emperor is still alive!
Bo Yunxiu nodded, so he was relieved.
As long as the palace is safe, Xia Wenxi is safe, and he will not let go of his confession even if he dies.
If he doesn't plead guilty, she will be safe and sound...
"Don't worry, I've already..." Bo Yunchong looked around, and whispered in Bo Yunxiu's ear for a while, "Remember? Don't plead guilty, wait for me, I will let you come out alive, you have to cheer up, you know? "
Bo Yunxiu opened his eyes to look at him, his eyelashes were stained with blood, and wherever he looked, there was a hazy red mist.
"If you want to thank me, there is no need to say it. If you really want to thank me, please live a good life. Brothers have this life and no afterlife." Bo Yunchong's eyes darkened, "There is no real affection in the royal family, I know you are sincere , so I am also willing to treat you as a brother. The second child, live well, and the elder brother will protect you!"
After finishing speaking, Bo Yunchong got up and left.
When he was leaving, Bo Yunchong felt that he was still out of breath, so he chased the cruel official with a whip and beat him hard, before he left in a big way. If Bo Yunlie wants to get angry, just come to him, he wants to see what that kid can do to him!
"Brother!" Bo Yunyu stood on the palace road, seeing that Bo Yunchong was wounded, he couldn't help but frowned, and immediately coughed. There was a fishy sweetness in his throat, he quickly suppressed it, raised his lips and smiled, "Who are you fighting with?"
"Those damned things helped the second child, whipped him with pepper spray, I couldn't be more angry..." Bo Yunchong was in pain, "It's nothing, just go back and get some medicine, but the second child... If it goes on like this , I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on anymore!"
Bo Yunyu smiled, "Second brother is in good health, he should be able to carry it for a while."
Bo Yunchong shook his head, "People are not made of iron, how can they stand such a torment."
"Aren't you afraid, brother?" Bo Yunyu asked with a smile, "If His Royal Highness..."
"I'm afraid he's an uncle!" Bo Yunchong yelled, "If you have the ability, come to me to settle accounts. Anyway, everyone knows that I, Bo Yunchong, are the most useless. I don't care what I want. If he is notorious for a long time, just come! I really think everyone in the world is blind. ?"
Bo Yunyu coughed again, "Brother...you are so friendly!"
"Brother Yiyi, if you go to prison today, the second child and I will spare no effort to save you." Bo Yunchong sighed softly, "How is your health recently? Why is your complexion getting uglier?"
Bo Yunyu smiled, "I took a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. Fortunately... I can't die!"
"Don't say such frustrating words, the second child is already a headache, you can't have any more accidents!" Bo Yunchong patted him on the shoulder, "Take care of him, I'll go first!"
"Brother!" Bo Yunyu called out in a low voice.
Bo Yunchong turned his head, "What, is there anything else?"
"If I have a child, will you treat him well?" Bo Yunyu asked.
Bo Yunchong blinked, "Did you pick up the child?"
Bo Yunyu smiled, "The mother concubine treats the second brother like this, probably because she is not her own, so I..."
"Are you a fool? If I treat you as brothers, will I treat your children badly?" Bo Yunchong sneered, "Sure enough, I'm sick and confused, and I don't bother to talk to you!"
"Brother, come to my mansion someday when you are free, I have something to say to you." Bao Yunyu said.
"I see, I see!" Bo Yunchong waved his hands, and left without looking back.
No wonder it's free!
Right now, saving lives is the most important thing.
Watching Bo Yunchong's leaving back, Bo Yunyu coughed up a mouthful of blood on the handkerchief, the bright red color was so glaring.
Bao Yunyu looked around cautiously, gently wiped away the blood stains from the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, then put away the handkerchief calmly, pretending that nothing had happened, after all, this day has come.
Oh, can't wait? !
Bo Yunchong felt very strange, as if someone was helping, and before he made a move, the evidence about Bo Yunxiu's crimes began to gradually disappear. Bo Yunlie's people stared at him unwaveringly, but Bo Yunlie didn't get anything. He didn't know who was behind the trick.
But Bo Yunchong didn't dare to investigate. It would be best if someone helped him, so he just played around with Bo Yunlie's tails.
After not seeing him for a few days, Bo Yunyu seemed to have calmed down a lot, so he sat in the pavilion in the garden, as if he was deliberately waiting for Bo Yunchong.
"Fourth brother, have you lost weight again?" Bo Yunchong was surprised.
Silently touched himself, recently played with Bo Yunlie's spies, went in and out of teahouses and restaurants more times, and there was a little flesh around his waist.
"Brother!" Bo Yunyu coughed lightly, took the pot to make tea, and handed it to Bo Yunchong, "I'm waiting for you!"
Bo Yunchong was taken aback, took the cup, "What are you waiting for me?"
Bo Yunyu didn't speak, watching Bo Yunchong take a sip of water, his eyes darkened a little.
"Is there something you can do to save the second child?" Bo Yunchong asked hurriedly, but the next moment, he pouted, "This tea doesn't taste right, where did you get this tea from? It must have been aged for several years , are they all moldy?"
Drinking, it seems a bit musty.
Bao Yunyu picked up the cup, and Gu Zi took a sip, "Really? Why didn't I taste it?"
Hearing this, Bo Yunchong frowned, "Could it be my own problem?"
Thinking of this, Bo Yunchong picked up his cup again and took a sip.
"The taste is not right!" Bo Yunchong looked at the green tea in the cup, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. After thinking for a while, he pressed Bo Yunyu's hand, "This tea is not very good, brother will give you a few packs of this year's new tea another day, you are not in good health, don't drink this!"
Bo Yun looked at him steadfastly, without speaking for a long time.
