Chapter 609: Abandoned Child (13)
Chapter 609: Abandoned Child (13)
He had suffered a lot of inhumane treatment over the years. The princes, princesses, princesses and palace maids bullied him, and the ugly scars on his body also made him sick.
The only thing to be thankful for was that he was extremely strong and recovered quickly after being beaten. Thinking of this, Wu Chengyin felt a little comforted and fell asleep quickly while enduring the pain.
"Hmm!" After an unknown amount of time, Wu Chengyin felt warm on his body. He seemed to smell the familiar scent of flowers. He subconsciously tightened his hands, but a tragic scene of a man in black standing between him and Wu Dejing and being pierced by thousands of arrows popped up in his mind.
"what!"
The man suddenly opened his eyes and saw a masked woman in black sitting beside his bed, holding his hand and taking his pulse. When she saw him wake up, she immediately saluted.
"Your Highness, I am late. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Ah... uh!"
Seeing that Wu Chengyin couldn't speak, Gu Yuxi understood and explained: "Your Highness has been poisoned and can't speak at the moment. I am Ye Shiqi. From now on, I will be at your disposal. Here is the token from His Highness King Jing."
Wu Chengyin was very excited when he saw the small jade ring, but he couldn't speak, so he couldn't ask many questions. He also didn't expect that the little girl had grown so much.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is doing well. He sent a message to you. Wait for him to pick you up. The Xin Dynasty palace was heavily guarded, but it has been laxer in recent years. That's why I had the opportunity to find this place." After saying that, Ye Shiqi handed out the roast duck, pastries and other items that he had taken from the imperial kitchen.
Tears of excitement flashed in Wu Chengyin's eyes. He took the warm food and when the tears in his eyes were wiped away, he looked up. When their eyes met, he turned his head away. He couldn't cry. He must not cry.
"Eat slowly. You have suffered a lot these years. I will heal your injuries."
Wu Chengyin would not trust others easily at the moment. He dodged the woman's move to pry open the hair on his forehead and looked at the woman's situation.
"In a few days, no one will disturb this place. His Royal Highness King Jing ordered you to study hard in the next few years and have the ability to protect yourself first."
The crescent moon was in the sky. Wu Chengyin, who had eaten and drunk his fill, looked around and waited for a while. The secret guard brought in clean clothes and bedding.
"Your Highness, please change your clothes."
As Wu Chengyin was changing his clothes, he heard a horrifying sound in his ears. He saw a figure under the moon playing a flute and a frightening piece of music, accompanied by the crying of a child.
This was the sound he had often heard in the past few days. He was also afraid of ghosts, but he didn't expect that it was a trick played by Ye Shiqi in secret.
"It's over here. It's coming from Xin Chao Proton. Quick, lock the door."
"In the past, an abandoned concubine fell into a well here, and a pregnant palace maid hanged herself here. Then..."
"Don't talk. This is an unlucky place. Sprinkle the black dog blood here and it will stop."
Snapped!
"Splash some here too."
Sure enough, after the black dog blood was poured down, the noises began to fade away, and the palace servants outside the door broke out in cold sweats because a white shadow flashed in front of them.
"Sir, let's go. This place is scary and freezing."
"Oh, you are playing tricks on me. Go look over there for me."
"Hehehe..." A sudden and weird laughter echoed, and some people were so scared that their legs went weak. After the sound stopped, the group of people turned pale with fright.
After the flute stopped playing, Ye Shiqi looked at the frightened Wu Chengyin, lit a candle and began to give him acupuncture, trying to force out the mute poison.
Just as he touched the other person's collar, the other person subconsciously tightened it, and his eyes met with Ye Shiqi's. The other person explained slowly: "Your Highness has been poisoned for many years, it may take some time to calm your mind and sink your energy into your Dantian."
Wu Chengyin, who was being guided, came back to his senses, sat cross-legged, and let the woman put her hand on his waist. He felt a little hot.
After the silver needle was pulled out, his hand was picked up and held by a pair of warm palms. He felt comfortable all over. It was his inner strength that broke through the taboo!
"Don't be distracted."
Half an hour later, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. How could Wu Chengyin not be excited when he saw that he could finally use his internal energy again?
He only saw the woman casually patting the chaise longue, throwing the cushioned quilt there, taking a warmer and putting it inside the quilt, and when she saw him, she stuffed the remaining warmer into his quilt.
Ye Shiqi said nothing more. He took off his shoes, pulled open the quilt, and fell asleep.
And Wu Chengyin only felt that Ye Shiqi was still as bold as ever. Now that he was her master, she could sleep so easily.
But he also felt that it was very warm tonight, and his stretched body made him sleepy. He lay on the new quilt and soon fell asleep.
[Sister Xi, the mission target might be Ketu, he matches the keywords.]
[Wait a minute, Ketu is from Toro, and so is the original owner. In the plot, the original owner continues to be a saint in the rebuilt Toro country, but this does not mean that the target of the mission is the other party.]
[It's okay, we can wait, but Wu Chengyin is no longer the same reckless prince he once was.]
[People always grow up.]
The next day, Wu Chengyin got up. It was snowing heavily outside, but the room was warm for the first time and the fire in the stove in front of the bed was burning brightly.
The woman who was boiling water said, "Master, I am a rough person. All these years I have learned from King Jing are the unorthodox ways of killing people. I don't know how to wash clothes or cook."
"No problem." Realizing that he could speak, Wu Chengyin couldn't help but look up to the woman who was sitting on the side cracking walnuts.
He was also not used to being undressed and removed by a woman, so he began to change his clothes behind a screen. When he came out, the woman placed the plaster on the table.
"This is the scar-removing and stasis-removing plaster I prepared. Your Highness, please apply it yourself. After all, men and women should not touch each other."
After washing his face, Wu Chengyin saw the ugly scar on himself in the mirror. It was caused by a few royal children playing with him and pushing him against the rocks of the rockery.
After breakfast, Wu Chengyin had just sat down when the secret guard piled some books on the table in front of the man.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing has instructed me to be your teacher from now on. It will not be a crime to punish you for your studies."
"How are you, Brother Huang?"
"All is well. You two will only meet when Your Highness is fully grown."
"Seventeen, can you teach me Qinggong and other special skills first?"
"Your Highness, this place is not very safe at the moment. Besides, your body is damaged and you must not hurt your vitality any more. You should focus on learning the deployment of troops and military strategies first."
Wu Chengyin had not seen a book for many years and did not recognize many characters. The characters he wrote with a brush looked similar, because when he was bored, he would write and draw on the floor in front of the door with a branch.
"Military affairs are a matter of great importance to a country, and must be studied..."
"What I mean is... Don't rush for quick results, take it slow."
Ye Shiqi felt that this job was easy to get. It all depended on this boy's ability of epiphany. In another six years, when the agreement expired, she would be free again.
