love concubine

Chapter 33: Tong Yan

"Give him the antidote!" Suddenly, he heard a stern young voice.I looked up weakly, but I saw that the hands and feet of the little fourteenth prince were bound with silk whips, and he was lying on the ground unable to move.

"Hey Monk Stinky, the hidden weapon you hit just now was poisoned too. My own life is in danger, and I still have enough time to plead for this girl?!" Only one of the two assassins remained awake.The other one had fallen under the cloak and seemed to be unconscious.

But the little fourteenth prince hummed indifferently, with a smile that didn't match his age, and said indifferently, "I'm only nine years old, and my death won't affect your master's life much." But this girl has lived in the world for more than ten years, if she is killed, there is no guarantee that she will change her life for your master."

"……what do you mean?"

"Buddhism is taboo to kill. But since this month is a "blood moon", according to the traditional calendar, whoever kills and stains blood in a blood moon will surely fail to accomplish great things in the future."

"Hmph!" the assassin snorted angrily, and roughly pulled the silk whip on the little monk, "It's nonsense!"

But the Fourteenth Prince smiled leisurely, and said in an unhurried manner, "Hey, monks don't tell lies."

Seeing this, the assassin was silent for a moment, with a look of hesitation evident on his face.

I only felt the knife wound on my back getting more and more painful, and my breathing gradually became uncomfortable.Every ups and downs of the chest felt as if it was bearing a heavy rock, and it felt like it was about to suffocate.

Suddenly, a man in black rushed in again.The man held a blood-stained long sword in his hand, and after scanning the situation in the house with cold eyes, he immediately roared and asked, "Why haven't you done it yet?!"

The assassin who had restrained the Fourteenth Prince immediately knelt down on one knee and truthfully reported everything about the "Blood Moon" just now. "what should we do?......"

The man in black who seemed to be the leader pondered for a moment, and finally calmly said, "Give them the antidote first."

"but!......"

"It's just a wounded child and woman. How can they escape from our hands?!"

The man in black spoke with confidence.There was a smug smile on his face, but his eyes met mine, and he suddenly became stunned, "I didn't expect that..." I swallowed the pill that the other assassin stuffed into my mouth, but when I saw the black The man in clothes knelt down slowly, and leaned in front of me, "Isn't this... the princess Ziyin who is very much loved by the current emperor?"

I immediately stared in astonishment.I just heard the person continue, "It's really Her Royal Highness! Hey. I can't be mistaken. The woman who held a night tour by the lake with Prince Xuanzhong at the temple fair in the capital had this face. Hehe. "

A terrifying chill ran down my back.The burning knife wound and my headache tormented my thoughts, making me gradually feel dizzy.I opened my mouth in confusion and wanted to refute, but the consciousness buried deep in my heart made me answer naturally, "Yes... I am Ziyin..." As long as they think I am a princess, as long as they think they have caught it Princess, then the real Princess Ziyin will not be in danger...

Catch me...kill me...anyway, I'm ready to accept death...just ask God to let his son and wife go, so why not die?  …

Before I was about to faint, I saw the man in black in front of me with a look on his face, "Take them away!" Then my hands and feet were bound, and I vaguely heard the little monk calling me not to fall asleep.But I just feel that the eyelids are getting heavier and my body is already powerless to resist.

Am I already poisoned too deeply?Or will God let me rescue the Fourteenth Prince before taking me away?  …

I didn't die.not yet.

When I woke up, I found myself in a dark hut, the windows were boarded up.I sat up from the straw couch, and the silk whip on my hands and feet had been released.

"Are you awake?" Suddenly hearing a childish voice, I raised my eyes in astonishment, and saw the little monk sitting on the ground opposite me.But he put his hands on top of his head, clasped to the wall and seemed unable to break free.

"The Fourteenth Prince!..."

But I saw the child get his hands out of the iron shackles as if nothing had happened, walked to the table and poured a glass of water, then walked up to me and said, "Drink it. It's not poisonous."

I took the cup blankly.I saw the little monk walking casually in the house, as if this was his home. "Excuse me... where is this place...?"

"do not know."

Looking at the child's indifferent and reticent attitude, it reminded me of him.I wonder if it was like this when I was really young? ……Oh no!Could it be that Xiao Yuxuan will become like this when she grows up? !It's so uncute...

"Hey, do you have any questions to ask me?" The little monk suddenly stared at me and asked bluntly.

I came back to my senses in astonishment, held the cup in both hands, and shook my head foolishly.

"Okay, then let me ask you, why did you pretend to be Princess Ziyin?"

"I..." Unexpectedly, the child would ask such a difficult question at such a young age. "I am Princess Ziyin's male concubine..."

"Concubine? What's that?"

"What?!..." What is a "male concubine"? !How should answer? ! ... "Dare to ask the prince... do you know what a "concubine" is?"

"A man's concubine wife."

"Hmm... and "male concubine" means a woman's husband, or a man's concubine... or something like that. But at home, the status of the main wife is still higher than that of the male concubine..."

"So "male concubine" is a kind of husband, right?"

"...Hmm...Maybe..."

"But isn't your husband a man?"

"……Um?!"

"You are a masculine man, why not only pretend to be a woman, but also pretend to be a princess, and come here?"

But I felt that this child asked a lot of incredible questions at once, and I really couldn't underestimate him.

"Master Ji, why didn't you deny that you were a princess, then took the antidote and left?"

"But...will they let me go? Will they kill me too...?"

"I have explained that this month is a "blood moon". For such a matter that is closely related to their master's lifeline, forgive them for not daring to kill people indiscriminately."

"...Is it true that Blood Moon can't kill people? What will happen if they kill people?..."

But I feel that the little monk is staring at me full of anger, as if he wants to squeeze me to death right now...

""Blood moon" is my nonsense. I went to Qingnian Temple to chant Buddha, not to read astrology and numerology. How can I know which month should kill people and which months should not kill people?!"

"Ah..." It turns out that the little monk can deceive people! ...Fortunately, this kid is smart and can tell lies, or we would have died long ago...

"Hmph. Beautiful people are like vases."

"...What vase?"

"So? Are you here to die instead of Princess Ziyin?"

Suddenly getting back to business, I felt heavy, "Well, yes..." Anyway, if I die now, no one will feel sorry.As long as he really reads my suicide note, he will know that I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.After he hated me, he can live happily with Xiao Yuxuan and the real princess, right?  …

If I were to die now, the thing I would be most reluctant to part with would be Xiao Xi.I haven't had a chance to persuade him to leave Shangciyuan.I haven't had a chance to show my responsibilities as an older brother, and I haven't seen Xiaoxi get married yet.

It's a pity, but I don't regret it.

As long as the one I love can live, as long as he never knows the truth.

But I beg him not to be angry with me until the next life.

We will meet again in the next life, I hope he and I can fall in love again...

"Hey." I was suddenly pushed, and I jumped up in fright. "I'm asking you, do you really want to die that much?"

"……What?"

"I broke the precept and lied, not to save a person who wanted to die."

"I'm sorry, little master... for causing you to break the precept..."

"Hmph... Anyway, I won't be a monk for the rest of my life. When the emperor arranges a marriage for me, I will still marry a wife and have children." He snatched the tea cup back from my hand and put it on the table as if it hadn't been touched. . "How about this! If we are all saved, and you don't want to go back to Princess Ziyin's place, my lord, when I grow up and get married by the emperor, I will marry you as my male concubine?"

"What?!" There was an inexplicable smile in my heart.

I only heard the child continue seriously, "If you become my male concubine, I will definitely not let you have the opportunity to die instead of me."

I couldn't laugh or cry.Frowning just about to object to him, "I..."

"That's right." But he suddenly turned around solemnly, stared into my eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

"I... Ji Kexue..."

"Kesue..." The child nodded thoughtfully, "Well... let me call you Xiaoxue!"

"What?!" I finally couldn't help laughing, "But I'm older than you?!"

"Then Brother Xiaoxue." He finally showed an innocent smile on his face, "You can also call me Xiaoyu!"

"...Xiao Yu?" But he felt that the name was inexplicably familiar.

"My name is Huangfu Yu. You have to remember! The man who will marry you in the future will have this name!"

"Ever married?! Haha! I'm already someone else's wife..." I blurted out this sentence inadvertently, obliterating my original happy mood.

"What?" The kid stared at me intently.I just wanted to explain with a wry smile, but when I saw him suddenly become alert, "Shh!" Then I hurried back to the wall, and got my hands into the shackles again.

As soon as the child sat down, he heard the sound of the iron lock on the wooden door being turned open.I sat on the straw couch, my body trembling uncontrollably.Who is here?Am I going to be killed?There was a disturbing heartbeat in my ears, and my head began to feel a little tingling.

But seeing a familiar man in black walking in with a pot of hot food, I recognized him as the leader.When he came in and saw that I was sitting, there was a sly smile on his face, "Hey, Your Royal Highness has finally woken up." I don't know why, seeing his smiling face and hearing his tone of voice, Reminds me of Boss Mo unconsciously.Think of the secret room that was dark, and think of everything I have encountered in that secret room.

"Oh, the princess doesn't have to be so scared." He put down the wooden basin on the table, and slowly approached with a bowl of what looked like rice porridge.

"Don't get close to him!" The little monk roared and ordered, but the man in black just paused, then continued to get closer, and finally came to sit beside me on the straw couch.

"Come on, princess, let's eat?" The man in black brought the porridge in front of me, but I was trembling too much.I knew that my hands could no longer pick up the bowl in his hand. "What's the matter? Let's eat?" His tone was like coaxing a child, but I heard it, and felt that it was more and more similar to Boss Mo's tone. "Hey! Why are you crying? Poor princess."

I looked down at the porridge in the man's hand, but felt that the white in the bowl was sticky, gradually becoming like the terrible white turbidity in my memory. "Woo..." I bit my lip and sobbed, "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."

"What? What are you sorry for, Your Highness Princess? Be good, do you want to eat?"

Seeing him bring the bowl forward again, I could only hide in the couch in a panic, "Don't! Don't...I'm sorry..." I cried in a panic.Things that should have been forgotten suddenly came to mind.

Really... where are you? ...so scared...it's all my fault for walking away! ...why am I not dead yet? !

"Tsk!" But the man suddenly stood up angrily, went to the table and put the bowl on the wooden basin with a "snap", a few drops of porridge splashed out of the bowl. "You spoiled ladies are so annoying!" Then he squatted in front of the little monk and untied the shackles, "Go and feed your sister! Dead monk!"

The child jumped up immediately, ran to the table and brought the whole pot of hot food to the straw couch.

"He's not my sister!" He suddenly turned around and retorted.

"Never mind your relationship! Eat quickly! I'll lock you up when I get back!" Then he left the hut and locked the wooden door.

"Brother Xiaoxue?! It's all right! Don't be afraid?"

I felt his sleeves wipe the tears on my face indiscriminately.

I gently grabbed his tiny arm, whimpering, "Really...really..."

"What? What's true?"

Then I realized that I wanted a child to comfort me, I couldn't help laughing bitterly at myself, "Xiao Yu... Thank you... I'm really useless..."

"Hmph... you are really useless as an adult."

Sure enough, there are no taboos!I frowned and laughed, "Ha... yeah..."

"But it doesn't matter. When I grow up and learn martial arts, I can teach brother Xiaoxue kung fu. When brother Xiaoxue knows martial arts, he can protect himself and won't be useless anymore."

"Hehe..." I looked at the serious-looking child in front of me, and thought: If we are lucky enough to escape, I hope he can become Xiaoyuxuan's playmate.Well, it's still not good, lest Xiao Yuxuan become as uncute as him when he grows up.Ha ha……
