Chapter 260 Remembering the Old Friendship
Chapter 260 Remembering the Old Friendship
In the Governor's residence,
The princess was kneeling at the door. The cold wind was biting. Bai Jinzhi was wearing thin clothes, just a casual cloud gauze robe.
It was night time and no one was at the door. Only two lanterns at the door of the mansion accompanied him.
Unlike this place, in the bedroom of the Crown Princess in the mansion, Bai Mohan was sleeping with Feng Zhaoyun. Feng Zhaoyun gently pushed his chest and said, "Mohan, I'm very tired today. You don't need to go back to your own courtyard. Just rest here. I'll come pick you up in the morning."
Although Bai Mohan was reluctant, it was already late. After a night of tossing and turning, it would be dawn in a few hours. He nodded obediently and said, "Yes, your Highness, I respectfully send you off."
Feng Zhaoyun nodded gently and left the bedroom with reluctance in his eyes.
Returning to the courtyard, Feng Zhaoyun sat down and poured himself a cup of tea. "Where's Jiuyi?"
At this time, the guard beside him said, "The general has been ordered by His Highness to take Young Master Xiao's eyes."
Feng Zhaoyun lowered his eyebrows for a long time, and said, "Go there in person and tell them..."
The guard leaned forward and was stunned after hearing this, then clasped his hands together and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
In the execution room, Xiao Qingyue was surrounded by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess's men. Shan'er and Aunt Sun were kneeling at the door, begging non-stop.
Shan'er cried so hard that she could hardly breathe. "Please, Sister Jiuyi, don't hurt my brother. Shan'er begs you..."
At this time, in the room, Xiao Qingyue was wearing a green robe, with his hair casually tied up with a sandalwood hairpin. He was sitting at the table, still looking like a graceful young man like the breeze and the bright moon.
Zhu Qing knelt beside Xiao Qingyue and kept praying to Jiuyi.
Jiuyi glanced at Shan'er at the door and ordered the guards, "Send Shan'er and Aunt Sun back safely. Don't disturb His Highness and the Concubine."
The guard clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Then he wanted to help Shan'er and Aunt Sun up. The two refused to get up and kept struggling. At this time, Jiuyi walked to the door and looked at Aunt Sun, "I let you come with me so that you can take good care of Shan'er. How can you allow him to make noise here? If you disturb Her Highness, your life will not be enough to compensate!"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Sun regained some of her sanity. She nodded to Jiuyi, wiped her tears, and then pulled Shan'er up, "Shan'er, let's go. Master Xiao is fine. Jiuyi is here. It's okay. You go back with me first. Don't cause trouble for Master Xiao here."
After hearing this, Shan'er looked at her with tears in his eyes, "But they said... they wanted to dig out my brother's eyes..."
Aunt Sun could only coax her, "It's okay, just go back with me first, Sister Jiuyi is here."
Indeed, within a day, General Xiao was imprisoned, the Princess was severely punished, and Young Master Xiao had his eyes gouged out. Although the Princess was a top-notch beauty, she was extremely cruel...
Aunt Sun took Shan'er's hand and quickly took him away from there.
Seeing Shan'er leave, Jiuyi ordered people to close the door.
She looked at the trauma medicine on the table and said, "This medicine was given to me by the miracle doctor Ah Zhen. It will definitely help you relieve some of the pain..."
Zhu Qing knelt down and grabbed Jiuyi's robe, tears in the corners of her eyes, "Are you really going to listen to that demon king and dig out my young master's eyes?"
Jiuyi looked at the extremely sharp knife for gouging out eyes on the table. She sighed, "That Bai Mohan is vicious and cunning. If..."
She didn't say anything more...
Xiao Qingyue simply smiled faintly, her every move very elegant. "It doesn't matter. As long as I can save my mother, I am willing to sacrifice everything. My life was saved by Your Highness. I just want a pair of eyes. General Nine, proceed."
Zhu Qing burst into tears, "Master! No! Now the princess has been bewitched by the concubine, you can't fall for his tricks!"
Xiao Qingyue leaned over and helped Zhu Qing up, a smile on her lips. "This is the order of Her Highness the Princess. Qingyue dare not disobey..."
Then, he looked at Jiuyi and said, "Come on."
Jiuyi picked up the knife, very hesitant. After a while, she used the knife to burn a little on the candle, sighed, "I'm sorry, Master Xiao, please don't blame His Highness..."
At this moment, the door suddenly opened.
Jiuyi quickly put away the knife and looked at the person who came with a happy face. This was someone close to His Highness. "Has His Highness changed his mind?"
The guard glanced at Xiao Qingyue, then clasped his fists towards Jiuyi and said, "General, His Highness has ordered me to oversee the execution."
Zhu Qing, who had originally held out a glimmer of hope, finally took two steps back helplessly.
Jiuyi also looked disappointed, but Xiao Qingyue was very calm, as if she was not talking about him.
The guard took out a bottle of medicine from his bosom and presented it to Jiuyi. "His Highness said that he once had feelings for Young Master Xiao. Although they no longer have any feelings for each other, he gave this medicine to Young Master Xiao out of consideration for their past friendship. After taking it, you will not feel pain when your eyes are gouged out."
Xiao Qingyue, who was sitting, laughed at herself...
Thinking of the old times?
Zhu Qing, seeing that the matter was already settled, stood in front of Xiao Qingyue and said, "As long as I'm here, don't even think about touching my master!"
The young guard said to the door, "This man is obstructing the execution. Drag him out and lock him up. We will release him after we have taken out Young Master Xiao's eyes!"
Jiuyi was stunned, but did not stop...
Several guards from the princess rushed in and dragged Zhu Qing away.
The young guard said again, "Close the door and guard it outside. Don't let anyone in!"
The guard at the door said, "Yes."
The door was closed and there were only three people in the room.
The young guard handed the medicine to Xiao Qingyue, "Master Xiao, drink this medicine and finish it quickly. It's almost dawn, and His Highness is still waiting for me to return and report. Please don't disturb His Highness's rest."
After hearing this, Jiuyi glared at the guard. This idiot was the most straightforward guard among the princess's guards. He couldn't say a word!
At this time, should I say that Ying will not disturb His Highness's rest?
Xiao Qingyue suddenly covered her chest, wrinkling her clothes. He laughed at himself, a very sad smile. Unable to hold it back, he spat out a mouthful of blood. "Your Highness... since you want Qingyue's eyes so much, then Qingyue... give them to her."
After saying that, he picked up the medicine bottle and drank it in one gulp.
After a while, he fell on the table...
Jiuyi glared at the guard at this moment, "You have such a dirty mouth!"
The guard looked bewildered, "Sister Jiuyi, I...did I say something wrong?"
Jiuyi gave her a sidelong glance.
At this moment, the guard leaned over and whispered a few words to Jiuyi, then said anxiously, "Hurry up, His Highness is really waiting for me to return and report!"
Jiuyi rolled his eyes at her and sighed, "Help me get him up."
The guard nodded.
After everything was over, Xiao Qingyue lay on the couch behind him, with a white cloth covering her eyes, and the cloth was full of blood.
He had broken into the princess's courtyard today, and the wounds he had received from the guards' swords were also treated with medicine.
Jiuyi washed the blood off his fingers in the copper basin and said, "Okay, let's go."
The two of them walked out of the room, and Zhu Qing, who was at the door, immediately rushed in. Then they heard loud wails echoing throughout the yard...
Jiuyi and the guards returned to the courtyard where the princess lived. At this time, Feng Zhaoyun was sitting at the table, looking very tired.
After Jiuyi and the guard entered, they closed the door and knelt down, "Your Highness, Young Master Xiao has been punished."
Feng Zhaoyun raised his head and looked at the young guard, "Did you do as I asked?"
The young guard glanced at Jiuyi with some grievance, and pulled up her sleeves. Her arm seemed to be injured and was wrapped in white gauze.
Jiuyi pretended not to see it.
Feng Zhaoyun took a look and then smiled, "I'm tired, please leave."
The two of them quickly clasped their fists and said, "Yes."
After leaving, the little guard gave Jiuyi a sullen look, snorted, as if deliberately letting her know, and turned and left.
After seeing her leave, Jiuyi lost his serious look and chuckled with his hands covering his mouth.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess sent a young guard to pass on the order that Master Xiao's eyes must not be actually removed, but that they must be removed openly.
They needed a lot of blood to tie on Young Master Xiao's eyes. Jiuyi didn't want to cut himself, so he asked the young guard to cut himself to get blood in the name of the leader of the princess's personal guards.
That's why the young guard was so angry.
Feng Zhaoyun secretly went to Ah Zhen to get the medicine. From then on, Ah Zhen would go and take care of Xiao Qingyue's eyes, as long as Mo Han didn't find out.
In the courtyard where Bai Mohan was staying, a guard entered and reported, "Master, Xiao Qingyue's eyes have been gouged out."
Bai Mohan was lying on the bed. Upon hearing the news, he lazily stood up and yawned. "Go away. We can discuss this trivial matter tomorrow. I am tired."
