Difficulty surviving at the hands of a tyrant

You Yihan took out the envelope from his pocket.

The contents of the letter clearly stated that the queen was in the mine, and it was Qi Heng's handwriting that was correct.

He stared at the words on the letter, pinched the envelope with his fingers, turned white with force, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "Where is Qi Heng's body?"

However, the deputy steward did not answer immediately.

You Yihan turned his attention to the deputy steward, and said in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty, please spare me! This slave doesn't know where General Qi's body is..."

"do not know?"

"Yes, after the steward killed General Qi, he buried General Qi directly. The servant sent someone to search the mine for a week but failed to find General Qi's body. Your Majesty, please spare me!"

The deputy steward looked terrified.

You Yihan was silent for a long time.

After a while, the deputy steward said cautiously, "Your Majesty?"

You Yihan came back to his senses, his face was expressionless again, and his tone was indifferent: "Go back to Beijing."

After all, turn around and leave.

Hearing this, the deputy manager quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was not completely relieved.

So, he followed You Yihan to see him off with a flattering face, this kind of behavior was not surprising to You Yihan, and You Yihan didn't stop him.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave soon, the deputy steward was relieved.

At this time, suddenly a fifteen or sixteen-year-old thin boy rushed up, shouting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

It was a young man named Qi Piao among the old, weak, sick and disabled outside the mine.

The deputy manager was startled, and hurriedly said: "Pull him down quickly!" Then he looked at You Yihan, seeing that You Yihan did not stop, he breathed a sigh of relief again.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Qi Piao said to the deputy steward: "Deputy steward, if you don't let me talk about it, what happened before..."

The deputy steward's heart suddenly lifted.

What happened before?

He said at the time that as long as Qi Heng and Tong Yu were caught, they would let those who caught them leave the mine, but when he said this, he didn't tell these old, weak, sick and disabled, he said it to the people in the cave, but This Qi Piao belonged outside the cave, how could he know?

If Qi Piao told the emperor the truth, then he...

Thinking of this, the deputy steward gave Qi Piao a vicious look, and said, "Let him go."

He watched Qi Piao running towards You Yihan, and curled his lips ironically, so what if he let him go?

Did he think that the emperor would really stop because of him, an insignificant prisoner?

He wanted to see how Qi Piao died!

I saw Qi Piao running towards You Yihan in a daze.

However, before running a few steps, he was stopped by the people brought by You Yihan.

"Get out!" The guard said fiercely: "Your Majesty can see you as soon as you say it? If you interfere with Your Majesty, you can't even think about living!"

Qi Piao struggled hard, but his strength was no match for these martial arts guards, he could only watch You Yihan walk further and further away, feeling more and more desperate.

The next moment, he shouted with red eyes: "Your Majesty! Please save my brother, as long as you can save my brother, let me do anything!"

After he finished shouting, he looked at You Yihan's distant back, completely desperate.

Thinking of his dying younger brother, resentment suddenly arose in Qi Piao's heart. He stared at You Yihan's back, his eyes full of hatred. After all, it was the emperor's order that he and his younger brother would come here. how come...

If he can get out, he will definitely pay for this deep sea of ​​blood...

At this moment, You Yihan suddenly stopped, turned around, and walked towards Qi Piao.

Qi Piao was stunned.

When You Yihan came to him, looked at him condescendingly, and asked him coldly, Qi Piao was still a little unresponsive.

"Your brother, what's the matter?" You Yi asked coldly.

Fortunately, Qi Piao came back to his senses not long after. At this moment, he had no thoughts of revenge. He knelt down excitedly and kowtowed: "My younger brother is sick and dying. I beg the emperor to save my younger brother. Please help me." Your Majesty, save my younger brother..."

You Yihan looked at Qi Piao and raised his hand: "Doctor Lu, go back with him and have a look."

An old man who looked nearly 50 years old came out and responded.

You Yihan thought for a while: "Leave two people to follow Imperial Physician Lu, and the rest will go back to Beijing with me... Forget it, I'll go back with you to have a look."

You told Qi Piao about this.

When Qi Piao mentioned his younger brother just now, he thought of Yi Wei. Although Yi Wei woke up before he left, she knew that he was going to leave, and she looked red-eyed and didn't want him to leave.

If it was normal, You Yihan would definitely stay.

But he still left cruelly, because he wanted to see Tong Yu immediately.

It is also because of this that when he left, he felt very guilty towards Yi Wei. Qi Piao's words just now made him think of Yi Wei, and he felt a rare sense of compassion. Anyway, he has decided to help Qi Piao, so he will do his best to help them. Solved the trouble completely.

The deputy manager next to him heard that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to show it, and could only watch You Yihan return to the mine again.

You Yihan followed Qi Piao to the place where Qi Piao's younger brother lived.

Speaking of it, this kind of place is not called at all, it is just another cave that has been mined, and there is nothing but a thin and worn-out mat where he lies.

Qi Piao bought this mat with great difficulty.

You Yihan couldn't help frowning when he looked at this place. Although the place he used to live in was worse than this, it doesn't mean that this place is better. In this kind of place, once you get sick, it is difficult to Well, mostly dead.

Physician Lu was startled when he saw the dying appearance of the young man lying on the mat.

"Why is it so serious?"

He hurried over to check the situation.

Qi Piao looked at Imperial Physician Lu nervously: "Doctor Lu, how is my brother?"

The expression on Doctor Lu's face became more and more serious, but in the end, he was still relieved, turned to Qi Piao and said, "Your brother is really serious, he won't make it through tonight..."

Qi Piao's face turned pale instantly. Seeing this, Imperial Physician Lu hurriedly said, "But don't worry, since I'm here, I won't let your brother die."

Qi Piao's face returned to blood, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, Imperial Physician Lu, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Physician Lu waved his hand, then looked at the deputy steward.

"It's not good for the child to lie down like this. Is there any bedding?"

"Yes, yes, just wait, I'll get it right away." The deputy manager said with a nod and bow, and then left the cave with two of his subordinates, leaving four to wait.

As soon as he came out of the cave, one of his subordinates lowered his voice and asked anxiously: "My lord, what should we do? What if that boy Qi Piao told the emperor..."

The deputy manager narrowed his eyes, and said sullenly: "Find a chance to solve him, and don't let him do bad things."

"But what if the emperor suspects it?"

"Then what do you say? Don't kill him, wait until he tells the emperor everything?" He still doesn't know how much that kid Qi Piao knows, but what Qi Piao just revealed is enough to kill him There is no burial place left.

So Qi Piao must be killed, even if the emperor doubts it.

"Okay, instead of panicking here, why not think about how to kill Qi Piao."

"...Yes."

the other side.

Qi Piao stayed by his younger brother's side to take care of him, while Imperial Physician Lu was called aside by You Yihan.

"What else did you find?"

Physician Lu hesitated to speak.

"Yes..."

You Yihan frowned and said in a deep voice, "Speak up if you have something to say."

"I found out that Qi Piao's younger brother had serious whip wounds, both new and old. The latest whip wound should have been two days ago. I thought Qi Piao should know about it, but looking at him like this, he doesn't seem to be I don't know, it should be his younger brother hiding something from him..."

After finishing speaking, You Yihan's face completely sank.

What happened to little brother Qi Piao couldn't help but reminded him of when Yi Wei was also...

"I know." You Yihan said in a deep voice.

At this time, Qi Piao came over, seeing this, Imperial Physician Lu retreated to investigate the situation of Qi Piao's younger brother.

Seeing that You Yihan found him coming, Qi Piao quickly knelt down, and before he could make a sound, You Yihan said, "Get up, what's the matter?"

Qi Piao hesitated, but You Yihan didn't rush.

Anyway, he has decided to stay temporarily, and there is still a lot of time.

Finally, Qi Piao made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the villain has the cheek to ask the Emperor for a favor."

"What grace?"

"I beg the emperor to let my younger brother leave the mine!" Qi Piao was afraid that You Yihan would feel that he was making progress when he heard this, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty, my brother is weak and cannot do such heavy work in the mine. If the Emperor agrees, The villain is willing to do it for my younger brother, including his share, and I only ask the emperor to let my younger brother go!"

You Yihan looked at Qi Piao expressionlessly.

"What mistake did you and your brother make to be assigned to the mine?"

"My brother and I are Qi Zheng's sons."

Qi Zheng?

You Yihan's eyes flickered.

He remembered that Qi Zheng, Qi Zheng was one of the few people he remembered who died in that rebellion.

His soldiers and horses had already entered the imperial city that day, the former emperor had already heard the news and fled, and the remaining six gods also fled one after another. Only Qi Zheng stood in front of him and defended to the death.

Even though his heart was filled with hatred at that time, he still didn't kill Qi Zheng immediately after capturing him.

But Qi Zheng killed himself.

Later, Qi Zheng's family didn't care about how to deal with him, and let Qi Heng watch and decide. Qi Heng thought that if it wasn't for Qi Zheng, they wouldn't have died so many people, so they sent Qi Piao and his younger brother to the mine...

Thinking of this, his eyes fell on Qi Piao, who was very anxious again.

Qi Piao looks thin, but his eyes are firm and clear.

"Only your brother left the mine, do you think he can survive?"

Qi Piao lowered his head.

Of course he knew that as long as his younger brother left the mine, his younger brother would have a very difficult life, but no matter how difficult it was, it was better than living here.

Before he could reply, You Yihan said indifferently: "Your brother can't live without you, so you should leave the mine too."

Qi Piao raised his head in disbelief.

"Your Majesty..." His eyes turned red instantly.

You Yihan felt a little disturbed when he saw Qi Piao's moved expression. He was used to being a tyrant and seeing others fear or loathe him, but he couldn't understand this moved expression, as if he was some sort of savior.

"Okay, when your brother recovers from illness, you can leave."

As You Yihan said, he turned around and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Qi Piao stopped You Yihan again: "Your Majesty, the villain has something to say."

You Yihan's face darkened slightly, this Qi Piao must have made some progress...

"The empress has indeed come to the mine!"
