Wangfu Shenyuan

"What about you?" Mrs. Ma went to stare at another servant woman.

The servant woman also knelt down in panic: "The soup and medicine that my maidservant made for all aunts and girls are the same. According to the prescription given by the royal doctor, it is absolutely impossible to conceive." The division is the concubine's room of the prince, which is one level lower than the side concubine. Women are called girls, and they are only tools for the prince to vent his desires, and they are not really included in the mansion. Male sex is called son, and men The house was confiscated as a male concubine, but there is no man in the palace who has been given a concubine by the prince, and the names of each mansion are different, so there is no fixed name for the palace.)

Granny Ma suddenly remembered Xia An, and gave Xia An a deep look, as if threatening to shut up, then took the lead and walked out, locking the prison door.Xia An cried out inwardly that it was not good, the prince had a lot of concubines, and at the age of 13, he was given a taste of lust by the teaching nuns in the palace. The servant girl has been a concubine for twelve or three years, but why she still has nothing to do? Could it be that she was murdered by these servants.

Can't care about the time anymore, Xia An went to lift the bed board, and when it didn't move, he squatted down to find the mechanism.I saw orchids carved at the end of the bed. Xia An remembered that the stone house was also covered with traps, so he tentatively pressed them one by one until he reached the last one. Hearing the sound of "click", the bed board was lifted halfway by itself.

Xia An leaned in, checked the mechanism for going back, then carefully covered the bed board, and walked straight according to the prince's order.After walking for about a cup of tea, Xia An suddenly caught a glimpse of the prince from a corner, thinking that the prince had arrived early and was waiting for him here, so he hurried forward and called: "My lord."

Unexpectedly, the lord turned around, and with such a stagger, Xia An saw a middle-aged scribe with a goatee standing opposite the lord, wearing a crescent-colored cotton robe, looking at him unkindly.

Xia An knew that she had disturbed the prince's serious business, so before the prince opened his mouth, he confessed his crimes: "The slave should die, for disturbing the prince, the slave is waiting for you at a distance." After speaking, he wanted to leave, but the scribe was cold. Said: "My lord, this person?"

"One of my own." Rong Li explained lightly, and turned around to talk to Xia An, but there were more imperceptible emotional ups and downs in it: "Wait in the next room."

Not a personal servant or a subordinate, but one of his own, these three words carry a lot of weight.The scribe's unfriendly gaze towards Xia An also restrained a lot, and he nodded to Xia An.

Xia An lowered his head and didn't see the scribe's overtures. Hearing the prince's order, he retreated and entered the next room.The prince and the scribes did not speak, they also turned and went into other rooms.

It's boring for Xia An to be alone, but this room is a study room, with more than a dozen bookcases on the east and west sides, like a medium-sized library.Xia An couldn't bear the itching in his heart, anyway, the prince allowed him to come in, and there was no one else, so he bravely went back and forth among the bookshelves to look through the bookshelves, standing still when he saw something he was interested in, and flipping through a few pages.When I saw a booklet recording anecdotes of night travel, I couldn't stand the amusing content inside, and "giggled" to laugh.

This smile didn't matter, but Gu Zhixuan, who was settling accounts next door, suffered a lot. Just as the long series of numbers was about to end, he was interrupted by a sudden laughter, and immediately forgot all about it.There is no wall separating the study room from the small warm room where he lives, but a yellow wooden board with small holes through the bottom.Xia An didn't look down, and didn't notice that the board was breathable.If he noticed, Xia An, who was as cautious as Xia An, would definitely restrain himself in every possible way.

Gu Zhixuan has three major hatreds, the first hates beauties with little wine, the second hates settling accounts without calculations, and the third hates being distracted.So he came in angrily, and scolded: "Which guy dares to disturb me to settle accounts?" After finishing speaking, he was stunned, and a panicked face appeared in the bookshelf. His skin was whiter than snow, his eyes were like stars, and his lips were like pink. , especially her cheeks are pink from fear and shame, which is extremely beautiful.

Xia An didn't know that Gu Zhixuan was already intoxicated by his appearance, he was suddenly drunk, he quickly stretched out his head to check the situation, and saw a man about 20 years old who was also dressed as a scribe, standing at the door, with an expression of anger on his face , or something else, in short, very weird.

"My lord, please forgive me. This slave dare not disturb you any more." Xia An bowed slightly and replied respectfully.He didn't know the background of this young master, and Shi Banli didn't break the rules.

"Slave?" Gu Zhixuan stepped forward, approached Xia An, picked up a folding fan to pick Xia An's chin, and said in a serious way: "Why are you a slave, I think you should call yourself 'Nu Jia'."

It was the first time that Xia An was underestimated by someone other than the lord, and he was annoyed at the moment. He unceremoniously opened the folding fan, turned sideways, and said coldly: "If you want to use the study, my lord, please do it yourself. The servant will leave."

Of course, Gu Zhixuan couldn't let the beauty escape so easily, he stretched out his hand to stop her, and acted angrily: "You made me forget the result in the end, so you just walked away like this, there is no such reason in the world."

Gritting her teeth, Xia An asked, "What does the young master want?"

"Of course I have to help me sort out the accounts. Oh——you should be illiterate, but if you are willing to accompany me, I will be happy for you, and naturally your mind will be clear and you will finish the calculation quickly." Gu Zhixuan joked with a smile.

Xia An was furious, and said coldly: "What account? The slave has settled it for the young master. After the calculation is over, please ask the young master to let the slave go."

Gu Zhixuan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this servant to settle accounts, so it was very likely that he was a first-class servant of the palace.It is also very likely that the confidant of the prince was arranged to work in the dungeon.He knew clearly that he shouldn't provoke her, but his heart was itchy. Such a clear and snowy beauty was quite rare.

He took the beauty to the cubicle, took out the account book, and jokingly said: "I forgot to bring the abacus, and these pages need to be recalculated. You can see if you can finish the calculation when it gets dark. If not, I can I will spend the night with you in the cell, and it will not be too late for us to recalculate tomorrow."

Xia An couldn't help but cast a blank look at Gu Zhixuan, and didn't answer. She calculated in her head, and quickly picked up a pen to write down the result, and classified the complicated records one by one according to the pattern of the ledger.After one page was counted, another page was immediately counted, without any pause.

Gu Zhixuan was extremely surprised, since he kept accounts since elementary school, without the abacus, it would take less than a quarter of an hour to calculate a page of accounts, not to mention such a clear classification.

A sense of admiration suddenly rose in his heart, and he moved a red lacquer round stool with drum legs and put it behind Xia An.Xia An was holding his breath, so he didn't care about the etiquette, and sat down on his buttocks, allowing Gu Zhixuan to stand and look at him stupidly.

Just counting to the third page, when he heard the prince's suspicious voice from next door calling him, he panicked, and drew a thin line on the account book with the tip of his pen.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Xia An even more panicked to wipe it off with his sleeve.Dare not to look at the young master's face, let alone let the prince look for him, Xia An said in a panic, "My master is here, the slave has to go."

Just as Gu Zhixuan was about to speak, he looked up and saw that the prince had already found him, so he swallowed what he wanted to say, and greeted him first.Hearing that he called himself a "subordinate", Xia An understood that he was also the prince's subordinate, so she retreated behind him and landed on her knees.

"Why don't you stay in the study well?" Rong Li asked, he wasn't blaming Xia An, it's just that he didn't have a good face when dealing with people, and with his reputation, everyone would tremble when they saw him.

Gu Zhixuan thought that the prince was angry, and was worried that the beauty would be hurt, so he rushed to answer: "The subordinates asked him to come over to help settle the accounts. The prince's subordinates are indeed talented people." This included himself.

Xia An couldn't help pursing his lips, firstly because he was naturally happy to hear someone praise him, and secondly because he thought Gu Zhixuan was really funny.

"Calculate your account carefully, don't play around all day long." Rong Li said coldly, turned around and left.Xia An hurriedly followed, and when Gu Zhixuan passed by, he heard him say, "See you later."

The two of them walked a little further away from the stone house, Xia An hurriedly rushed up to the lord, leaned closer and whispered: "Your lord, I heard something important. When you left the cell just now, a woman named Ma and two young servants came in. Listening to what they said, the slaves actually found that the master of a certain house was pregnant with your child."

"My lord, the servant saw that the expressions of the three people were not right, so the servant boldly guessed, fearing that they would be harmful to the young master."

Rong Li listened and only looked at Xia An.

Xia An was seen covered in cold sweat, and said bravely, "This is just my servant's conjecture, and it may not be true. However, the prince should investigate carefully to ensure the safety of the little master."

Rong Li squinted, and the sharp light from his eyes broke Xia An's already curved spine.Xia An prostrated himself on the ground and confessed: "I have overstepped the limit, please forgive me, my lord."

Seeing the prince's reaction, Xia An realized belatedly that it was the prince himself who didn't want a child.Even though it is known that the royal family has no father and son, there is no child who has been rejected before it was born. Xia An never doubted the prince before.

Rong Li originally wanted to scare Xia An from meddling in his own business, but when he saw Xia An kneeling at his feet in fear, he felt uncomfortable, as if he was far away from Xia An in vain.Rong Li felt that his heart was stuffy and uncomfortable, so he ignored Xia An and walked forward with big strides.After walking a long distance, looking back, Xia An was still kneeling on the spot with his head down, and he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Follow me quickly."

After receiving the order, Xia An immediately chased after him with his head down, dutifully two steps away from the prince.The two left the tunnel without saying a word. The warm sunlight shone on Xia An's head. Xia An raised his hand and bowed a handful. They could keep it, but they couldn't touch it. It was an illusion.

"Do you think this king is very bad, even though tiger poison doesn't eat babies, this king is even worse than animals?" Xia An followed silently, cold in fear, Rongli had no eyes behind his back, but probably he was sincere. He fell in love with Xia An deeply, and felt Xia An's emotions with a tacit understanding.

As a lover, what Rongli said was from the bottom of his heart.But as a master, a slave can't afford to say this.Xia An looked up in surprise, cold sweat dripped down, and was about to kneel down, but was held back by Rongli.

"Don't just kneel down on me. You used to be the young master of a rich family, why are you so servile?" Rong Li said without choosing words, frowning.

After hearing this, Xia An bit her lips tightly.What do you teach him? Does he naturally like to kowtow and kneel to others?He felt sad for a while, his family fell into poverty, he sold himself as a slave, lived a hard life, wanted to survive, and worked hard to redeem himself, but was asked by his master, "Why are you so servile?" Isn't this a joke that makes people cry?

"Why don't you talk, and hate me so much, you don't even want to talk to me?" Rong Li tightened his grip on Xia An's forearm.

Xia An suffered from pain, but became stubborn, bit her lip and refused to speak.He also looked down on his servility from the bottom of his heart, but the temptation of survival and freedom was too great for him, so he ignored his behavior as if he was stealing the bell.But being singled out naked by the prince, the stain in Xia An's heart had nowhere to hide, and he also detested himself, and was in a daze for a while, feeling that he shouldn't live like this.

"Speak up." Rong Li roared angrily.

Xia An's eyes were red with pain, but the teardrops only swirled and didn't fall down.He looked directly at his master angrily, and unexpectedly calmly saw his own figure in Rongli's usually indifferent and brutal eyes, it was painful but clear, as if it had been engraved on it, shaking with Rongli's emotions.

Before he could take a closer look, Xia An only heard a crisp sound, and then looked at his wrist in a daze, the curved arc was a bit weird.

Before Xia An felt the pain, Rong Li jumped away as if bitten.He opened his eyes wide, leaned against a cypress to stabilize his body, and watched Xia An squatting on the ground holding his wrists in disbelief.He was used to torturing people for fun, and when he was so angry, he didn't grasp the strength properly, and unexpectedly broke Xia An's wrist bone.

For the first time, he felt heartache, reluctance, anger, and full of regret from the pain of others.Looking at Xia An, he squatted in front of him, just an arm's length away, but so close to him.

Xia An recovered from the pain, said "retire" in a hoarse voice, and walked back.He wants to go back to the cell, but he can't remember the way after returning to the tunnel, it doesn't matter, as long as he can leave the prince.A master who holds the power over his own life and death, who is moody, beats, scolds and humiliates him, Xia An has no energy to serve him anymore.Because not only his body hurts, but his heart hurts too. He remembered that his name is Fang Xia'an.

As he walked, he turned a corner, as if he hadn't passed by, and he didn't pay attention, just kept his head down and walked forward.Suddenly his body soared into the air, his head was dizzy for a while, and he was hugged horizontally.

The prince's eyes were blood red, like a ferocious beast, no, it was a man-eating beast.Xia An struggled in vain, she tried her best to shrink herself up, and buried her head deeply in the prince's forearm, as if she would no longer exist.

But the rushing north wind hurt his exposed skin, reminding him of the fact of existence time and time again.

After an unknown amount of time, Xia An was laid down on his back, and he gritted his teeth and closed his eyes to pretend to be dead.I heard the prince yelling in my ear: "Doctor, come here quickly. Hurry up, I can't cure him, I will cripple your limbs."

Then there were hurried footsteps, and an older voice sounded: "Young Master, don't get excited, let the old man check carefully."

Xia An's arm was lifted carefully, he frowned in pain and bit his lower lip.The old doctor looked at it for a while, and said: "This old man wants to set the bone for him, give it to this one, take a cloth towel and bite it, don't lose consciousness in pain and bite your own tongue." He didn't know what to call this young man in prison clothes , skip it.

Before he could get the cloth towel, Rongli felt that Xia An's lips were about to turn bright red, and his heart overflowed with guilt, he stretched out his hand without hesitation, and stuffed his wrist into Xia An's mouth.Xia An felt that there was a human arm in his mouth, and wanted to spit it out, but unexpectedly, the old doctor was quick, taking advantage of Xia An's attention was not on the wound, he pulled the bone two or three times and then ordered the boy to take it out. Get a clean board and get a cloth wrapped around your wrist.

The technique was clean and neat, even though the time was so short, Xia An still couldn't help the pain and gritted his teeth hard.When Rongli pulled out his arm, it was already bloody.The doctor had no choice but to apply medicine on Rongli again, Rongli was wearing normal clothes today, although the doctor saw that he was not a son of an ordinary family, but he did not guess that he was actually a noble prince.While applying the medicine, he babbled about Rongli: "How can you be so loyal to friends, put the cloth towels away, and be willing to ask for guilt, that's stupid."

How can Rongli be trained by a civilian doctor, let alone he is still angry.The doctor grabbed one of his hands and applied medicine to him, and he smashed the medicine jar with the other hand, but luckily the boy saved him quickly.

The old doctor's beard was crooked, pointing at Rongli and cursing ungrateful.Rong Li scolded him for being presumptuous.The old doctor took it easy, and the patients in the store also helped, and he was a sharp talker, seeing that Rongli dared to scold him back, he kept pointing at Rongli and preaching.

After Rong Li cursed, he didn't want to do such demeaning things again.The old clinker doctor was the most persistent, so he insisted on bowing his head and apologizing.Rong Li let the old doctor scold a few words, and saw a man who came to see the doctor with a knife in his waist, walked quickly in three steps, drew the knife and put it on the old doctor's neck, the faster one The swordsman didn't see the movement clearly.

The store immediately became quiet, and everyone stopped helping, only to hear the old doctor scolding tremblingly: "I have long seen that you are not good people, and you dare to come out in broad daylight while wearing prison clothes. In line with medical ethics, I don't care about you." No matter what your status is, you will be given medical treatment. Now you are repaying evil with virtue. Come on, folks, whoever of you goes out and calls the officials to come in and catch these two fugitives, we can still get a reward."

While talking, the official messenger had already arrived. They had received a report. Someone saw Xia An's prison uniform and reported it to the yamen.The officials searched all the way to find it. As soon as they entered the store, they saw someone holding a knife on the doctor's neck, and they all pointed at the murderer.

How could Rongli be afraid of official orders, the old doctor was very excited when he saw the helper coming, pointed at Rongli and called a thief, Rongli sneered and dropped the knife.Everyone thought it was an act of surrender, so they relaxed their vigilance, and an officer took the chain and walked forward.The old doctor also breathed a sigh of relief, and scolded even more harshly. He was going to complain to the head catcher, but when he took a step, he was tightly strangled by the neck.
