"Then, how will the Queen Mother punish him?" Xia Qi asked after hesitating.

"It's just flesh and blood." Shen Xubai said.

Xia Qi froze for a moment, fell silent, and did not speak for a while.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Xubai knew that he was still hesitating, so he said aloud: "It's just to hurt him a little, but you can get such a big benefit, what are you hesitating about, I asked you to get close to him on purpose before, didn't you It made you angry."

"I'm not being impulsive." Xia Qi said quickly: "But Li Yujing can't do anything, even if he suffers a little trauma. Brother, please help me."

"I can't help you." Shen Xubai refused in a cold voice without saying a word.

Xia Qi frowned, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak.

Shen Xubai was still in a hurry to accompany Xu Qingjian and Niannian, he said impatiently: "Okay, I'll go and tell the Queen Mother, don't bother me."

"Thank you brother." Xia Qi thanked quickly.

Shen Xubai glanced at him and said coldly: "There will be no next time."

"Yes."

So Shen Xubai and Xia Qi quickly went to the palace to meet the queen mother.

At this time Li Yujing was still awaiting trial in prison, no one did anything to him, the Prime Minister had already sent a memorial to intercede for Li Yujing last night, although the Queen Mother only saw it this morning.

Now that Shen Xubai and Xia Qi came to intercede together again, the queen mother had to let him go under pressure.

If it was just Xia Qi, she could still have a talk with him, but if Shen Xubai also interceded, she had to give him this face.

The empress dowager said that capital crimes are inevitable and living crimes are inevitable, but Shen Xubai demanded that he be released without any injuries.

The two parties were at a stalemate, and finally the queen mother took a step back and agreed.

So Xia Qi rushed over to pick him up immediately.

But the Queen Mother still couldn't swallow this breath. If they really let them rescue Li Yujing without any injuries, it would be like slapping her hard on the face.

The Empress Dowager asked Hongling to take Xia Qi to pick him up, but on the other side she gave an order secretly, and hurriedly took a small path to send them out. When Xia Qi picked up Li Yujing, Li Yujing had already been tortured.

The clothes on Li Yujing's body were torn several times by the whip. His body was covered with blood, and his white clothes were almost dyed red. It seemed that he had been whipped at least dozens of times.

Even his face was whipped, across his cheek.

"Yujing!" Xia Qi saw that he was covered in injuries, his pupils shrank violently, and immediately rushed up to hug him.

Li Yujing was covered in injuries, his whole body trembling in pain, but he was still struggling to push Xia Qi away: "Don't touch me... liar..."

Xia Qi's whole body froze when he heard the word liar.

Before he asked Li Yujing to act with him, he promised him that nothing would happen to him.

"What's going on! Didn't the Queen Mother say she wouldn't touch him?!" Xia Qi scolded through gritted teeth.

Hongling cursed at the jailer beside her without changing her expression: "Who told you to use lynching without authorization?!"

The jailer was taken aback, and quickly sent someone to arrest the two men who tortured Li Yujing.

When the two men saw Xia Qi, they knelt down and kowtowed to admit their mistakes.

Hong Lingdang even ordered the heads of these two people to be chopped off.

They are naturally innocent, they are just scapegoats found by the Queen Mother. In this way, they use lynching and have nothing to do with the Queen Mother.

No matter how angry Xia Qi was in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Li Yujing's injury could not be delayed, Xia Qi had no time to settle the score with the Queen Mother, so he had to take Li Yujing back to his house first.

He wrapped Li Yujing in his outer robe, carried him on the back of the horse, held him in his arms, and drove back as fast as he could.

Originally, Xia Qi wanted to help Li Yujing deal with the wound, but Li Yujing made a lot of noise and refused to let Xia Qi touch him.

After all, as soon as Li Yujing struggled, the wound opened even more severely, and there was really nothing he could do about him.

It wasn't Xia Qi who came to help him treat the wound, and Li Yujing calmed down, but his eyes were still red and teary from the pain.

After treating the wound, Li Yujing fell asleep. He was huddled under the quilt, sleeping deeply, but his eyes were swollen from crying, and he looked pitiful.

Just now the prime minister came to pick Li Yujing back, but Xia Qi only said to let Li Yujing stay with him to recover from his injuries, and let the prime minister go back.

Now the prime minister has no say in him, he can only listen to himself.

Xia Qi stood by the bed and watched Li Yujing sleep. After a long while, he sighed softly, and reached out to gently smooth the broken hair on his forehead.

This time Li Yujing woke up not long after falling asleep, because he was awakened by the wound on his body.

"Father...Daddy, I hurt..." Li Yujing started crying and calling him daddy as soon as he opened his eyes.

Soon, the bed curtain was lifted, and Xia Qi sat down beside the bed.

"Your father is not here." Xia Qi reached out to help Li Yujing up: "Where does it hurt?"

As soon as Li Yujing saw that the person who came was Xia Qi, he immediately began to struggle, not letting him touch her, and regardless of whether the wound would open or not.

"Don't touch me...you go, go away!" Li Yujing resisted all over his body.

Xia Qi frowned, and pressed Li Yujing's restless body: "Don't make trouble."

"I don't want to see you, go away!" Li Yujing struggled even harder.

"I said stop making trouble, don't you understand?" Xia Qi's tone sank.

Li Yujing paused and looked at Xia Qi with fear.

"Can you get up?" Xia Qi took a deep breath and slowed down his tone.

He also wanted to have a good talk with Li Yujing, but the other party's resistance made him have no choice.

With tears in his eyes, Li Yujing let Xia Qi help him sit up on the bed.

Soon, Li Yujing asked someone to bring the medicine over.

"Drink the medicine, this is for pain relief." Xia Qi fed a spoonful of medicine to Li Yujing's side.

"I won't drink." Li Yujing turned his head to one side.

"Hurry up." Xia Qi urged, frowning.

Li Yujing was impatient for a long time, so he turned around, raised his hand and overturned the medicine bowl in Xia Qi's hand.

The scalding medicinal soup was all sprinkled on Xia Qi's hands, scalding the back of his hands red, and his snow-white robe was also stained with brown medicinal stains.

Xia Qi frowned, his face a little ugly.

And Li Yujing also trembled all over. He was afraid that Xia Qi would get angry in the next moment, and a wave of fear came to his heart. After all, Xia Qi really can do anything.

He remembered what Xia Qi had done to him a few days ago, and he felt a sudden fear in his heart.

"I want to go home, I want to go home..." Li Yujing cried.

Xia Qi glanced at him, picked up the bowl on the ground without expression, and asked someone to bring in another bowl of medicine.

"Drink the medicine." Xia Qi fed the medicine to Li Yujing's mouth again, and said without emotion.

Li Yujing stepped back in resistance, her voice choked up: "I want to go home."

"If you want to go home, you have to listen to me." Xia Qi said coldly.

"Then can I go home after drinking the medicine?" Li Yujing's eyes were full of tears, as if they would roll down in the next moment.

"After drinking the medicine, you can go home when your injury recovers well," Xia Qi said.

Li Yujing raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said, "Then I can drink it myself, I don't need you to feed it."

"It's very hot, I'll hold it for you." Xia Qi put the spoon back into the bowl with no expression on his face.

Li Yujing looked at Xia Qi's finger holding the medicine bowl, it was already hot red, but he didn't seem to feel anything, and he still held it so firmly.

After a while, Li Yujing sniffed, sat up straight, picked up a spoon to fill a spoonful, brought it to his mouth, blew gently, and then drank it.

Xia Qi helped him hold the medicine bowl like this, watching him take a few sips slowly.

"Is it bitter?" Xia Qi asked.

Li Yujing froze for a moment, then nodded.

"Then drink quickly, and I'll give you candy after drinking." Xia Qi said.

"I want to eat right now."

Xia Qi was silent for a moment, and then gave him a bag of sugar. Xia Qi sat on the bed, opened the oil paper, and picked one from it and put it into his mouth.

After eating one candy, he continued to drink the rest of the medicine.

"I'm sorry." Xia Qi said suddenly.

Hearing Xia Qi's apology, Li Yujing's hands paused, and then he looked up at him.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to get hurt." Xia Qi said again.

Li Yujing stared at him blankly, then quickly withdrew his gaze, continued to drink the medicine, and didn't speak, obviously he was still angry.

And Xia Qi didn't expect Li Yujing to forgive himself, but just quietly continued to help him hold the bowl.

After drinking the medicine, Xia Qi applied medicine to Li Yujing's wound again.

Li Yujing was already tired, he didn't want to struggle anymore, so he simply asked Xia Qi to help him apply the medicine.

"You will never leave a scar on your face, don't worry." Xia Qi looked at the whip mark on Li Yujing's face and said distressedly.

Li Yujing ignored him, just sat on the bed in a daze.

Anyway, he doesn't rely on his face for food, and he doesn't care whether he leaves scars or not.

"Are you hungry, what do you want to eat?" Xia Qi asked again.

"I don't want to eat anything, I want you to stay away from me." Li Yujing replied without thinking.

Facing Li Yujing's sarcastic remarks, Xia Qi didn't respond: "You eat first, and I won't bother you after eating."

Li Yujing ignored him, pulled up the quilt with both hands and got back into the bed.

He covered his head with the quilt angrily, not wanting to see Xia Qi again.

He didn't eat, didn't eat, and made Xia Qi mad.

I don't know how long he was covered under the quilt, Li Yujing was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep again, when he suddenly smelled the aroma of food.

Li Yujing hadn't eaten for several meals, and was already so hungry that he didn't feel it, but now he suddenly smelled this aroma, and his stomach growled quickly.

"Get up and eat." Xia Qi patted Li Yujing's body through the quilt.

Li Yujing hesitated for a while, and then looked at Xia Qi with two eyes.

Soon, he looked at the low table beside him, which was full of delicious food.

"You have your favorite bean paste cake, why don't you get up soon?" Xia Qi coaxed.

Because Li Yujing was injured, he couldn't eat spicy food, so he prepared light ones, but fortunately, Li Yujing's usual taste is sweet, especially some sweet and glutinous snacks.

Li Yujing hesitated for a while, then got up without saying a word.
