Not long after Qi Delong returned to the side hall, he heard a strange sound. He held his breath and heard what seemed to be Xiaoyue's cry.

why is he cryingClearly they were talking and laughing just now?

Chidron also suspected that he was hallucinating, but the voice was always there, and there was still a voice in the crying voice, but it was too far away to hear anything clearly.

When Qi Delong arrived at the entrance of the main hall, Ming Shuo was standing in front of the gate with his sword in his arms. Tian Dengnu, who passed by the courtyard, stopped by the water bridge, and some night watch servants had gathered sparsely in the four corners of the courtyard.

Xiaoyue's suppressed cry passed through the outer hall of Xiaoxiang Pavilion and floated intermittently into the courtyard. Qi Delong was stopped by the expressionless Mingshuo outside the gate, so he could only shout at the top of his voice.

With this shout, more people were attracted.

Qi Delong was full of worries, and asked Ming Shuo several times why he stopped him. Ming Shuo lowered his head and was unable to speak, until a painful but sweet long chant suddenly came out from the hall. When he came over, the servants in the yard were scattered by chickens flying eggs on the ground.

But this is the palace, the servants care most about their heads besides the monthly silver, so if the masters have the slightest trouble, it will not take long to seep into every corner of the mansion.

So in the early morning of the second day, everyone in the palace knew that King Xin had used force on Xiao Guan last night.

The deaf and mute women are the only ones in the entire palace who can't chew their tongues. Before dawn, they delivered hot water to Xiaoyue's room as usual, and when they walked out of the palace door, they bumped into two worried faces.

Qi Delong caught the deaf and mute woman and began to ask questions: "How is it? What's going on inside? Is he in a better mood? What is he doing now?"

The mute girl kept gesticulating sign language, the speed was fast and chaotic, which made Qi Delong dizzy: "Don't stop gesticulating, I didn't understand a single word!"

The dumb girl became even more anxious, she couldn't speak or write.

Qi Delong pressed his hand at her, signaling her to calm down: "Well, if I ask you a question, you just nod or shake your head."

The mute girl nodded quickly.

Chidron: "Is he up?"

The mute girl nodded.

"Was he dressed when you went in?"

The mute girl paused and shook her head again and again.

"Are you not wearing it?" Chidron was shocked.

The dumb girl blushed when she heard the words, she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, she meant "I don't know", he and the deaf girl didn't enter Xiaoyue's bedroom, but just put the hot water in the outer hall as the people in the room ordered That's all.

"What's the use of asking them, just go in and have a look!"

After Chu Yu finished speaking, he was about to kick the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but Qi Delong quickly grabbed him and scolded him, "You're in a hurry! He definitely doesn't want to see anyone right now. Aren't you making things difficult for him by rushing in like this!"

Chu Yu was worried all night, Qi Chen left in the middle of the night, and Qi Delong refused to let her in: "But we can't let him go, what if something happens?"

Qi Delong looked old and angry: "He even ordered people not to enter the house, which means he is still alive!"

"But……"

"What if he is crying inside? He has such a strong self-esteem! This Qi Chen is really hateful, how could he do such a beastly thing!"

As soon as Qi Delong cursed, the deaf and mute woman ran away as if she had been hit by the plague.

Chu Yu was also frightened by his unrestrained words, and looked around quickly: "You dare to insult King Xin, you don't want to lose your head!"

Qi Delong just cursed and slipped his tongue, and he was also angry. Although Xiaoyue looks weaker on weekdays, he is extremely stubborn in his bones. Before he knew that Qi Chen was Ye Zhao, he regarded his affection for Qi Chen as a betrayal of Ye Zhao. Zhao, so he kept belittling himself and torturing himself repeatedly. Now that Qi Chen insulted him like this, it didn't indirectly kill him.

Qi Delong lowered his head, and the door of Xiaoxiang Pavilion suddenly opened from the inside.

Chu Yu subconsciously stood up straight: "Water...Water?"

"Chu Yu!" Qi Delong quickly chased after him.

Xiaoyue has already bathed and dressed neatly, her body smells of bath soap faintly.

Seeing his pale face, Qi Delong forgot all the words of comfort he had spent the whole night accumulating, and smiled dryly: "Are you alright?"

Xiao Yue lowered his eyes and did not answer, he turned and walked back to the main hall, where he sat among the flowers and plants and patiently lit the charcoal basin.

Qi Delong and Chu Yu stood side by side one zhang away, watching Xiaoyue pull out the fire bag, and put it to his mouth to blow.

Perhaps it was because of the damp, the fire was ignited and extinguished, Xiaoyue tried it again and again with a blank face, and repeated it more than ten times, but he did not show any anxiety, and even the frequency of breathing did not change in the slightest. Change, like a puppet that can only repeat the same action, holding that fire pocket can blow old forever.

Qi Delong and Chu Yu glanced at each other, neither of them spoke first.

After this night, Xiaoyue was visibly haggard, as pale as a paper man, with light or heavy bruises on his neck and wrists, because Xiaoyue's skin was too fair, those bruises looked particularly ferocious, it was hard to imagine How many wounds did he have on his body?

Chu Yu didn't understand, since Wang Xin came back from the gate of hell, he was so kind to Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue missed him so much when he went to the palace, why did he become like this right after he came back.

Qi Delong pushed Chu Yu, and vividly deduced a complex sentence with his facial expressions: How about you say something?

Chu Yu actually understood, and wrinkled his nose: You speak first!

Qi Delong tried his best to recall the words he had prepared, and opened his mouth hesitantly. Seeing him shy, Chu Yu pushed him back.

Qi Delong suddenly staggered a few steps forward, Xiaoyue looked up at him.

"That..." Qi Delong took out a new fire bag from the cabinet at hand, walked up to Xiaoyue and squatted down, "Your one is damp, use this."

Xiaoyue took the fire book that Qi Delong handed him, and continued to focus on lighting the fire.

Looking at the exposed scars on Xiaoyue's body, Qi Delong wrinkled into three deep forehead lines. He already roughly guessed that Qi Chen might be jealous, so he asked in a low voice, "Is it because of Master Fang?"

He heard Xiaoyue's heavy and weak breathing, and after a long time, he shook his head.

"No?" Chidron sat down cross-legged, a little excitedly said, "Why is that? What made him hit you so hard?"

Xiaoyue lit a small piece of charcoal, and then extinguished the torch: "I called him..." He raised his eyes to Qi Delong: "...Ye Zhao."

"Ye Zhao??" Qi Delong's voice rose eight degrees, almost jumping up: "You told him he is Ye Zhao?"

Xiao Yue still looked at him.

"How can you talk nonsense! What's the matter with your brain?" Qi Delong looked at me too disappointed in you, but in the next second he felt that he was too loud, and tried to suppress his voice, "You said you came from the future Who would believe it? Not even an idiot like Chu Yu would believe it!"

"What did you say?" Chu Yu was taken aback.

"Shut up!" Qi Delong began to mutter to himself. He put up the airs of a teacher, with a face full of hatred: "Did I remind you not to mention the word Ye Zhao to Qi Chen? He is sure now Thought you took him as Ye Zhao's substitute, you...you're done, you fell out of favor."

Xiaoyue just looked at him and said, "I didn't."

"No?" Chidron folded his arms.

"I didn't tell him."

Chidron: "Then...then you just called it wrong?"

Xiao Yue nodded.

Chidron took three seconds to sort out his thoughts—it wasn't jealousy.

Now he probably knew all kinds of reasons, Qi Chen had someone else in his heart because of Xiaoyue, so he got rid of him in a fit of anger.

Xiaoyue closed his eyes tiredly, moved his lips and made a series of false noises: "...It's my fault."

Hearing Jiang Xiaoyue's words, Qi Delong immediately refused: "It's not your fault! It's his fault! He's gone too far!"

Chu Yu understood that Xiaoyue's former lover was Ye Zhao, and King Xin became jealous, so he fell out with Xiaoyue.

"Watchman." Chu Yu leaned forward and knelt by the brazier, "Would you like to explain to the prince, I can see from my humble position that the prince has something in his heart..."

"Explain what explanation!" Qi Delong glared at Chu Yu, telling her not to move and stop talking nonsense, "Even if Xiao Yue is wrong, he can't do such a humiliating thing! What do we think of us!!"

Chu Yu was sprayed with saliva all over her face. Considering Xiaoyue's emotions, she didn't get angry, but said angrily: "Then why didn't you stop me last night? What's the use of shouting so loudly now!"

Qi Delong suddenly felt ashamed: "That's because I can't beat Ming Shuo, why don't you come in if you win!"

"I wasn't there at the time, why did you..."

"Okay..." Xiaoyue didn't want to hear this, "Stop talking."

His voice was weak, but it suppressed all nagging effectively.

The charcoal basin had already been lit, and Xiao Yue supported the floor and wanted to get up, but the soreness and stinging pain from the tear made him almost fall back, Chu Yu quickly helped him up: "Where are you going, my lord?"

Xiaoyue stood up slowly, eyelashes drooping, arranging the clothes on his body little by little, even a small fold was carefully smoothed out, as if it was not a piece of clothes, but his skin.

After a long time, he said calmly: "I'll go to the kitchen and find something to eat for the prince."

"Who?" Chidron suspected that he had heard wrong.

Xiaoyue repeated: "My lord."

Qi Delong suddenly didn't understand Xiaoyue's position. He felt that Xiaoyue's personality suffered such a personality insult, and he must be so sad that he wanted to die. Judging by his appearance, he was indeed unlovable enough. After that, give that beast food?

"I understand!" Qi Delong suddenly realized, and stood up, "You want to poison him to death?"

Chu Yu's face turned blue immediately: "No, waiter, that's the prince, you can't do that!"

Xiaoyue's Adam's apple moved up and down: "I just gave him something to eat."

Just deliver food? ?

Qi Delong didn't understand even more: "He treats you like this and you give him food? Are you crazy?"

Chu Yu was also confused: "The shepherd..."

Xiaoyue was very sad, but he was also very scared, even though Qi Chen was violent to him, even if Qi Chen had done so much to him, when Qi Chen walked out of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, he still hoped that he would turn around and come back.

But Qi Chen left anyway, threw him on the bed in embarrassment, without even looking back at him, suddenly lost Qi Chen's fiery body temperature, and Xiaoyue's world was only left with coldness and fear... Endless fear.

Compared with the pain of being raped by Qi Chen, the collapse of being ruthlessly discarded made him more painful than life.

Xiaoyue was silent for a long time, and then said the words that instantly shattered his self-esteem: "He can't hate me..."

He can't hate me...he can't want me...

Qi Delong looked at Xiaoyue's almost ice-cold eyes, then heaved a long breath, and continued to sit cross-legged to warm himself by the fire, and stopped looking at Xiaoyue.

The Xiaoxiang Pavilion fell into silence. Qi Delong remembered that when he was in Zhao Prison, Xiaoyue who had just woke up from a coma had this look on his pale face without any trace of life, and said to him without blinking: "No leaf!" Zhao, I can't live anymore.

It was Ye Zhao who supported him to this day, he loved that man so much, in order to love him, Xiao Yue could let go of his self-esteem and shame, even risking his life.

Although Chu Yu doesn't understand Xiaoyue's heart, for her, Xiaoyue is a trustworthy and dependable master. She will not defy or refute Xiaoyue's decision.

Xiaoyue walked out of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Qi Delong threw it on him absent-mindedly to enjoy the fire, Chu Yu hesitated for a moment, took a cloak and went after Xiaoyue.
