Yun Ke felt as if he was floating up, floating above a raging flame, the sky was crimson red, and there was a large sea of flames under his feet, and waves of heat hit him one after another. He didn't panic. Just quietly watching with his hands behind his back.
This is where? Is he dead again? That large sea of flames was like purgatory, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, yes, it might be hell, how can a cruel person like him hope to ascend to heaven after death. Going to hell may be the best destination for him, but this purgatory seems to be empty and he is the only one.
The flames engulfed his body, and he felt no pain, only waves of heat that suffocated him.
He didn't know how long he would suffer in this sea of flames. Everything in his previous life was like a picture of a picture slowly flashing before his eyes.
Mother concubine! He saw one of the pictures with his own eyes. His mother and concubine passed away shortly after giving birth to him, and he didn't have a deep impression of her, or it could be said that he had already forgotten her. But here, it seems that all the hidden parts in his mind have been dug out.
He has hardly felt the love and care of his mother. After the death of his mother and concubine, he lived alone for a period of time. The maids and eunuchs hated him for crying, and would intentionally intimidate him. As long as he cried, they would secretly pinch him. At that time, his two arms Almost all bruised. Even the wet nurse thinks that he is of low birth and is still a motherless child who does not have a prominent mother clan like other princes, so she dislikes him very much. He was very happy when he was sent to be fostered by Empress De Fei. I thought my life would change drastically, but everything would remain the same.
All the good things belong to Yun Yi, and he can only watch from the side. He gradually became silent, unwilling to speak, because he found that as long as he spoke and filed a complaint, what awaited him was a more severe punishment. Fortunately, he met his master, a seemingly unknown guard in the palace. The master said this to him, if you want others to think highly of you, you must have the capital to be worthy of others.
Did he have capital at that time? No. He can only work hard silently. The happiest moment for him is when the master will smile and touch his head every time he makes progress in martial arts training. Praise him for being great. He would think that if his mother and concubine were still there, if he had read well, the mother and concubine would also touch his head like this, praising him with an infinitely warm smile. He really didn't want his concubine mother to leave so early, even if her background was very low. In this way, there will be a close relative by his side to love and protect him. Unfortunately, within a few years, even the master who had been teaching him martial arts suddenly disappeared, leaving only a letter and basic cheats for him.
He was single again.
Just when Yun Ke was quietly looking at the picture that passed before his eyes, he suddenly felt a gentle hand holding him, and he was shocked. Turning his eyes, he could only see a hazy shadow in the blur, which was a woman. The fire blocked his vision, and the flames surrounding the woman prevented him from seeing her face. There was a slight coolness in that hand, which diluted the heat from the flames, and made him extremely greedy for that feeling. He held that hand, wanting to ask for more, even more wanting to get that The woman pulled over from the flames, is she the concubine? It must be! Only the concubine would rush into the flames to protect him and save him. There was a slight crack in his icy face, mother concubine, he cried out aloud.
When he sensed that the hand was about to leave, he suddenly felt a burst of fear, he finally found someone here, if she left, he would be alone again. He firmly grabbed that hand, begging bitterly, mother concubine, don't leave. He used all his strength to pull the man out of the flames. He is not afraid of fire, what he is afraid of is the loneliness of his life.
The loneliness in that position is terrible. Although you are high above, no one will really protect you and love you. Everyone approaches him with various purposes. He has been lonely all his life, will he continue to be lonely after death? At least it would be nice to have someone to talk to with him.
He tightly hugged that person's waist, feeling the coldness and softness of her body, he thought, if he could hold such a person tightly here, even if she didn't speak, he would be willing, at least he wouldn't feel I am still alone, he is very tired, very tired, he just wants to sleep for a while, the feeling she brings to him is incomparably comfortable and reassuring, so reassuring that he doesn't have to be afraid that she will harm him at all, in this kind of situation What's the use of harming him? If she could come here and accompany him to purgatory, what kind of schemes would she have against him
So he wanted to find a comfortable place to sleep deeply, but... a sharp pain suddenly came from his neck, and then everything disappeared, there was no flame, she disappeared, everything ceased to exist, only a kind of boundless Boundless darkness swept him.
Can't go on like this, he wants to get out of here! A strong thought supported him, Yun Ke suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a strange weft curtain, and there was a vague smell of medicine coming from his nose, which made him very displeased.
Yun Ke frowned slightly, this is... He turned his eyes, and through the lights, he saw a slim figure crouching beside the round table in the center of the room outside the gauze curtain. Only then did he remember where he was. Who is that slim figure? Is it Gu Yuqi? Yun Ke felt that his heart seemed to have a little bit of throbbing and hope.
"Come here." He called out in a low voice, and was surprised that his voice was extremely hoarse, as if it had been ground by gravel, and his throat was so hot that smoke could come out with just one mouthful.
The person who was lying on the table as if she had fallen asleep suddenly woke up, she quickly stood up, turned around, and walked quickly, "Servant Dai Mei has seen the prince, dare to ask him what he wants."
Through the light veil, Yun Ke could clearly see the girl's appearance, she was very beautiful, and there was still a bit of sleepiness on her face, but... Yun Ke's heart suddenly sank.
It's not her, it's not her! Not that woman Gu Yuqi! He even felt a trace of anger, which was derived from the disappointment in his heart.
"Where's Gu Yuqi!" He asked coldly, "Didn't I ask her to serve me? What are you!" He didn't hide his displeasure at all.
Dai Mei was taken aback by the piercing voice. At home, both Rou Ang Huaiyu and Gu Yuqi were polite to them and never said anything serious. Patient guidance.
Dai Mei hurriedly knelt down, "If you go back to the prince, my young lady has been taking care of the prince for a day and a night, she is really too tired, so the slaves volunteered to replace the young lady and let the young lady go back to rest."
one day one Night? Hearing this, Yun Ke frowned a little more. He has been in a coma for so long
He moved his body slightly, and felt a tingling pain and discomfort in his lower back. He raised his hand to touch it, and his abdomen was wrapped in white cloth again, his lower back...
"What happened to this king's waist?" Yun Ke asked.
"My lord, the wound on your lower back has not fully healed, and the wound has festered after running around for days. That's why you have a high fever." Dai Mei said, "Miss, let the doctor scrape off all the carrion on your lower back, so Also, please don't blame our little lady, my lord, she said that if you want to die, you don't want meat."
No wonder it hurts so much.
If you want to die, you don't want meat, what is this! Yun Ke snorted displeased.
"Is there anything uncomfortable for the lord? Or do you need something? You can tell your slaves to do it." Daimei saw that the person on the bed was quiet, and waited for a while before asking again.
"Go and call your little lady." Yun Ke said coldly.
She didn't look at him well, and ran away by herself! What about day and night? If in the previous life, she could have won such favor from him, even if she was asked to guard him for three days and three nights, she would be happy with it. Now he didn't say a word, and ran away without waiting for him to wake up. But... one day and one night? Yun Ke seemed to feel that his anger had subsided a little.
"Yes." Although Dai Mei was unwilling in her heart, she still complied, and the little lady would go to rest for less than two hours.
But the person in front of me is the prince, or the prince that the young miss has offended, forget it, and endure for a while. It's not that they didn't think about leaving the house when Yun Ke was in a coma, but the heavy rain kept on, and the outside situation was really bad. A dozen or so refugees were not afraid, but there were thousands of refugees outside. Things, Gu Yuqi and Liang Huaiyu thought they couldn't protect them, and now they still have more than 20 unarmed villagers who need protection. Pool section estimate.
Even if you go out, where can you go? The Hengjiang River is bursting its embankments everywhere, not to mention crossing the river, neither the upstream nor the downstream can go, facing south? Back to the capital? Isn't that just asking for guilt? Besides, whether they can reach the capital safely is another matter. The influx of refugees and the plague will immediately close the gates of the capital, making it impossible to enter the city, which is also unsafe.
So everyone discusses and discusses, it is better to stay here for the time being and wait and see what happens.
Gu Yuqi didn't dare to say that she knocked Yun Ke out, but only said that he was burned out and fell asleep for so long. In fact, she was quite worried, because she was afraid that she would be too harsh and beat this person into a vegetable. But fortunately, the doctor said that he had lost too much blood before, and then he was on the road day and night, physically exhausted, and the wound on his lower back festered, and it only happened after burning for several days.
As for the wound on his lower back, the doctor didn't dare to move it, so it was Gu Yuqi who made a decisive decision and asked the doctor to scrape off the carrion.
No matter how ignorant of medicine, Gu Yuqi also has common sense. If the rotting flesh is left on his body, it will only get worse and worse. The doctor was afraid of Yun Ke's identity, so he didn't dare to take the knife lightly. Gu Yuqi asked Zhao Wu to go to the doctor and at the same time brought the Jiangxia county guard. After all, a prince lives here. It's not good, I need to find a witness. Under the supervision of a county guard, he stabbed a prince. The old doctor, who had never even seen a seventh-rank official, felt a lot of pressure.
When Ni Gang saw Liang Huaiyu before, he already felt that he had seen a rare beauty in the world. Now when he saw Gu Yuqi again, he was immediately astonished. At the same time, he also vaguely understood why His Royal Highness Wang An insisted on living here. He put away his obsessive eyes, the person His Royal Highness King An likes, he can't even think about it.
Gu Yuqi had already fallen asleep, and was dug out of the bed by Daimei. Ranmo helped Daimei tidy up Gu Yuqi with all her might, and then pushed Gu Yuqi out of the door.
Gu Yuqi looked at Daimei and Ranmo standing at the door with hatred and waving small handkerchiefs towards her, she could only look up to the sky and sigh, and walked towards Yunke's room resignedly.
God, earth, let a thunder strike the person in the house to death! Gu Yuqi looked at the pitch-black sky speechlessly, when suddenly a thunder exploded in Gu Yuqi's ears, causing her to shrink back in fright.
God, you help Yunke, don't you? I knew you were wearing a pair of pants with him! Gu Yuqi was speechless for a while, and then walked into Yun Ke's room.
"Gu Yuqi, the daughter of the people, has met His Highness King An, and His Highness is a thousand years old." After entering, Gu Yuqi bowed her knees and saluted.
When Gu Yuqi came in, Yun Ke was studying the marks on his arm.
He wanted to turn over just now, but he felt a discomfort in his arms, and it hurt when he touched it. How could Yun Ke, who had been pinched by maids and eunuchs when he was a child, didn't know what this meant. He hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough... When the lights came on, his arms were covered with large and small bruises.
Yun Ke is angry! Who did it
At this moment Gu Yuqi came in, he turned his head abruptly, and looked at the hazy figure outside the light gauze. It's this woman! It must be her! She didn't dare to do this even if the little maid gave her ten guts just now. Only the bold and reckless woman in front of her could do such a cruel thing.
A trace of coldness floated in his eyes, and he said slowly, "Gu Yuqi, you are getting bolder."
The biting coldness in the voice made Gu Yuqi tremble slightly, it's over, she must have pinched him to reveal her secrets.
"What is the lord referring to? Minnie don't know." Gu Yuqi pretended to be stupid and said in an innocent tone.
"Get the hell out of my way!" Yun Ke said angrily.
He has always been cold, almost expressionless, but every time he meets this woman, he feels that his anger will immediately lose control.
"Yes yes yes. Minnv, just roll over." Gu Yuqi stood up and walked over with seemingly easy steps, but her heart was already beating like a drum. She is still afraid of Yun Ke habitually, although she has told herself not to be afraid, what is there to be afraid of, she even did stupid things like setting herself on fire in her last life, what else can stop her? But as soon as she gets close to Yun Ke, she still loses her composure, subconsciously wants to avoid him, but subconsciously feels that she is unwilling, because she is unwilling to give wholeheartedly in her previous life, and every time she is misunderstood by him, the unwillingness will be a little more , Gradually accumulated in the bottom of my heart, so there will be a final big explosion.
She is not from the same era as him, and the misunderstanding is not so easy to solve. Especially when there are other resistances around, such as Zhang Wanyi, their misunderstandings become more and more. At first Gu Yuqi tried to distinguish, but the result was not ideal, and in the end there were so many that even Gu Yuqi was too lazy to explain.
Standing beside Yun Ke's bed, Gu Yuqi raised her hand and rolled up the gauze curtain, "My lord, the daughter of the people is here." In the light, she smiled delicately and stood slim in front of the bed. Squeezing, he just raised his arm to let Gu Yuqi see clearly, and then he said coldly, "What's going on?" He asked in a deep voice.
"Oh." Gu Yuqi pretended to be surprised, raised her slender hand to cover her cherry lips, her expression was so exaggerated that she wanted to laugh. "What's going on here. What's wrong with the prince's arm?" Then she was in deep thought, and suddenly realized, "Oh, the girl knows, it must be the doctor who needs the prince's bodyguard to turn the prince's body when he treats the prince. So... Oh, those guards are really careless." After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Yun Ke, "Don't be angry, my lord, those people are for your highness's good. So don't blame them, my lord."
Yun Ke felt that he was about to be laughed at by Gu Yuqi. It was obviously a good thing she did, but she was going to push it on his guards. Well, if this is the case, "Come on!" Yun Ke shouted in a condensed voice.
"Your Majesty." The guard outside the door came in and knelt down on one knee to salute.
"Who is helping the doctor to turn this king's body?" Yun Ke stared at Gu Yuqi and asked the guard.
"If you go back to the prince, Du Xia will be on duty at that time." The guard returned.
"Okay then, let Du Xia go to get the twenty army sticks!" Yun Ke said lightly.
Dusha! Twenty batons! I go. Gu Yuqi's complexion changed slightly immediately, she just made a joke, and Du Xia was beaten by Yun Ke with twenty army sticks. Yun Ke, you are ruthless! However, he is also stupid, playing tricks in front of Yun Ke, it's not that he doesn't know what kind of heart he is.
"My lord." Gu Yuqi said immediately, "Don't care about Du Xia's affairs." She restrained the smile on her face, and knelt down in front of Yun Ke, "Can my lord take back his life?"
"Oh?" Yun Ke suppressed the turbulent feeling in his heart, and looked at Gu Yuqi with a half-smile, Du Xia, she really remembered him and had a heart for him. "If you can convince me, I will take back my order."
"My lord, can you let that guard back down?" Gu Yuqi said with eyebrows raised.
"You step back first." Yun Ke also followed suit and said to the guard who came in just now. "Du Xia's matter is temporarily suspended."
After the guards left, he turned to Gu Yuqi, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It was the prince who grabbed Minnv's hand when he was in a coma, and the minnv used a little force in a hurry, so she hurt the prince's body. It has nothing to do with the guard or anyone else, all the consequences are caused by the minnv Yes, if His Highness wants to punish, the girl is willing to accept it. If His Highness insists on beating the girl, the girl is willing to suffer, but the girl is weak, and if she gets twenty blows, she may not be able to serve the prince anymore." Gu Yuqi He gritted his teeth and said.
What she said made Yun Ke startled, angry and a little indescribably funny.
It turned out that what I grabbed in purgatory was not the hand of my concubine, but Gu Yuqi's! ! This realization shocked him beyond measure. How could it be her! What she gave herself was actually a feeling of peace of mind? Got it wrong. Must be hallucinations.
What made him angry was that when the matter came to an end, she was still playing tricks in front of him, threatening him, and not coming to serve him after receiving the board!
He told her not only to lead the board, but also to crawl to serve him!
And why did she defend Du Xia so much? What does this mean? If it was another guard just now, would she be so obedient and immediately admit it
It's true that even if it's because he hugged her tightly, she doesn't need to be so cruel, right? Both of his arms are blue, okay? And said it wasn't intentional!
He is lingering and sick now and doesn't even look at the cause? For whom is it that he lost too much blood? The wound on his lower back worsened because of her!
This woman doesn't know how to be grateful, but she is still ungrateful.
"You think this king is really afraid to hit you, don't you!" Yun Ke asked coldly with anger in his eyes.
"Of course the prince dares." Gu Yuqi's heart trembled, but she still bravely met Yun Ke's gaze and looked at him.
The dead woman was slippery just now, but now she is getting tough again, right? Gu Yuqi's expression made Yun Ke even angrier, challenge him? OK! What Yun Ke fears most is challenges.
"Come on!" he said in a deep voice.
The guard at the door came in again.
"Drag this woman down and beat her with the twenty army sticks!" Yun Ke thought for a while, "For her sake, just hit her with the ten army sticks!" If you are going to be injured, ordinary people can't bear the five army sticks. Thinking of this, Yun Ke changed his words for the third time, "Three army sticks. Three army sticks. Small punishments and big commandments." Then he immediately changed his words, "Don't delay, just in Fight here!"
Gu Yuqi also looked at Yun Ke with a half-smile, and the expression in her eyes made Yun Ke suddenly feel guilty.
Why is he guilty! Taking the opportunity to retaliate, it was the woman in front of him who pinched him.
But he clearly saw the woman in the flames of the previous life through such eyes. When she looked at him, she no longer looked at him with all kinds of attachment and love, but with anger, unwillingness, and despair...
With a thumping heart, Yun Ke suddenly felt very scared. It's just that the words have already been said, and they have been changed again and again. If they say no to fighting now, wouldn't it mean that Wang Wei is not here
Why is the dead woman looking at me like this? Will she die if she asks for mercy
As long as Gu Yuqi begs for mercy, Yun Ke promises that he will take it back immediately. He just wanted to scare her. Who wants to really hit her
He was annoyed with her dissatisfaction, annoyed with her deliberate defense of Du Xia, annoyed that she could still feel that she was reasonable after pinching his arms with bruises, annoyed that she didn't tell the truth, and annoyed that she was in front of him play tricks.
Soon other guards came in, holding a stick in their hand, the stick was found temporarily, who was running around with the army stick, Yun Ke saw that the stick was much thinner and lighter than the army stick, and secretly felt I breathed a sigh of relief.
It shouldn't hurt too much.
Two guards pressed Gu Yuqi to the ground, and one guard raised the stick high.
Yun Ke saw that Gu Yuqi closed her eyes.
She also knows to be afraid...
"Wait a minute." Yun Ke stopped the guard, then turned to Gu Yuqi and said, "Gu Yuqi, do you have anything you want to say to this king?"
say what? Say fart! I have nothing to say to you! Gu Yuqi couldn't help shouting in her heart, but her eyes were tightly closed, and she didn't even look at Yun Ke lazily.
