Xiao Yeheng looked at her dotingly, "As long as you like it."
Yan Shuixin felt warm in her heart, he loved her very much.
At this time, the sunlight outside the window shone into the kitchen through the doors and windows. Yan Shuixin was standing in front of the stove, just bathing in the sunlight. Under the sunlight, her skin was so pure and faultless that it was delicate enough to burst. Her gorgeous face, which had been riddled with acne, was slowly healing, leaving just faint red traces behind. Her nose bridge was pretty and straight, her long lashes shook slightly, and her black pupils sparkled and moved. She is very gorgeous!
For a moment, the six men in the kitchen were all taken aback.
Wan Niang and Xia Chuxue had jealous looks on their faces at the same time.
Wang Mo stared at Yan Shuixin and exclaimed, "Doctor Yan, the acne on your face is healing, you're really a great beauty."
"That's right." Bai Jinchuan waved his folding fan, "I thought she was an ugly monster before, but it's seems like I misunderstood her. If the acne mark on Doctor Yan's face disappears, she will probably be even more stunning by then."
He shamelessly glanced at Xia Chuxue, "Scumbag, your title as the most beautiful woman in the capital is not worthy in front of Yan Shuixin."
Feng Hai regretted it a lot this time, "Before, when I was a guard, I wanted to get as many beauties to satisfy me. At that time, her hair was sour and smelly, her figure was dry and flat, and her face was so ugly with acne. In addition, there was no shortage of women in the prison, so we let her go for a moment of carelessness, damn it!"
Wang Mo's eyes were almost glued to Yan Shuixin's body, "Doctor Yan's figure is also slender and exquisite, why did I get together with Xia Chuxue and forget about this diamond in the rough?"
"It's not too late to get Yan Shuixin at this time." Xia Chuxue said with a strange tone of yin and yang, hoping that the only clean Yan Shuixin would be rotten and worthless like all the other women in prison.
"It's not up for you to decide." Bai Jinchuan said as he closed the folding fan in his hand.
Xiao Yeheng couldn't breathe a word of anger as he listened to these people's foul language. If it wasn't for Yan Shuixin who happened to stand in front of him, he would have killed these bastards!
Hating that his legs and feet were inconvenient, he moved a step to the side with his crutches. His eyes were filled with murderous energy, and a wave of palm wind came out.
Wang Mo and Bai Jinchuan were prepared to receive a palm attack, and in an instant, strong qi surged everywhere, and the bowls and chopsticks on the kitchen stove fell to the ground, and even the other few present were shaken back a few steps.
The men stood firm, but Xia Chuxue and Wan Niang, two weak women, staggered a few steps and fell to the ground.
Even Yan Shuixin stood unsteadily holding the wall. Xiao Yeheng turned around, worried and walked over to help her. "Xin'er, are you okay?"
She palely shook her head.
Xiao Yeheng's cold eyes swept around the kitchen, it was June and the weather was hot, but everyone felt the cold air covering their heads and made them shiver all over.
For a moment, no one dared to confront Xiao Yeheng head-on.
Bai Jinchuan grinned flatteringly, "King An's concubine, who would dare to touch her? Everyone is just joking."
"That's not true." Wang Mo chimed in, "Even if you want to steal someone away, you still need consent from Doctor Yan, right?"
Yan Shuixin saw that Xiao Yeheng had once again condensed his true energy into his palm, and obviously wanted to kill him. At this time, this group of people will definitely join forces. She was afraid that he would suffer, so she quickly said, "My lord, my bamboo sticks and slices are ready, please help me to take them out."
Xiao Yeheng knew her worry, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to protect her. Therefore, he had to bear with it for now, and look for a chance to deal with them later!
After turning off the stove, Xiao Yeheng scooped up the bamboo in the pot with a shovel, and put it into a cloth bag after it cooled slightly.
Zhao Bing has been standing behind Wang Mo, glanced at Xiao Yeheng with hatred in his eyes, and lowered his head pretending to be normal.
Yan Shuixin noticed the look in his eyes, and her eyes immediately darkened. This person might be a great danger to Xiao Yeheng.
Xiao Yeheng was stationed on crutches, while carrying a large bag of cooked bamboo, he walked towards the infirmary room, Yan Shuixin obediently followed behind.
Wan Niang chased after him kindly, "King An, I can help you to carry it."
She didn't receive any thanks, but instead got a murderous look that scared her away.
Wan Niang stood still and bit her lip carelessly, "I just wanted to help King An to carry water, but he refused, he didn't want my help to carry anything. Yan Shuixin looked at his amputated leg and didn't even help him, but he still wants to protect that woman in his heart. What's the reason?"
Bai Jinchuan walked beside her, waving a folding fan, and said, "You don't understand. King An has always been proud and arrogant. He has lost one eye, ruined his left face, and lost his leg. It's not like he's paralyzed and unable to move. As a man, he has dignity and doesn't want his beloved woman to do heavy work or be seen as disabled. But this young master is different. This young master enjoys enslaving women and letting them serve him."
The folding fan picked up Wan Niang's chin, "You always approach King An, but he doesn't give you a single glance. Why don't you follow me? I will still cherish you a bit."
Wan Niang saw that King An was walking away, she didn't care whether he heard her or not, she said loudly, "I don't want it, I already have someone in my heart."
Feng Hai came over and pushed Bai Jinchuan away, "That's right. Wan Niang has long been interested in me, Young Master Bai, stop your wishful thinking."
"Why are you joining in the fun?" Bai Jinchuan sneered, "Idiot, the person in Wan Niang's heart is Xiao Yeheng."
"Hahaha, that cripple." Feng Hai had a look of disbelief, "If you said that Wan Niang liked you, I would believe it a little bit. But Xiao Yeheng is so ugly, which woman would really like him?"
Wan Niang saw that King An was gone, and she didn't dare to offend Feng Hai, so she groaned, "Oh, Master Feng, I'm a woman, how dare you say this."
...
Xiao Yeheng walked to the open space at the door of the infirmary room, and poured out the bamboo sticks and pieces from the cloth bag.
Yan Shuixin took the machete and the whip used by Li Dian from the room, moved out two chairs, helped him to sit on the chair, and asked, "My lord, can you make a bow? With so many arrows that we have, we can't lack a bow."
People who excel in archery are generally fond of bows and arrows, and they may or may not be able to make it themselves.
Xiao Yeheng leaned the crutch in his hand beside the chair, nodded, "Yes."
She picked up the thicker bamboo stick and handed it to him, "How about making a bow out of this bamboo?"
Xiao Yeheng took it, and visually inspected it, "It's very suitable."
"Thank you, Lord. There are only ten bamboo sticks, one for you to make a bow, but you need to make it all at once. I will also use the remaining nine long bamboo strips."
He nodded.
Bai Jinchuan and Wang Mo actually followed over without fear of death, and Wang Mo said with a sneer, "King An doesn't care about minor mistakes, he must have forgotten what happened just now. You want to make a bow, but there is no suitable string. "
Yan Shuixin took off the ramie thread wrapped around the whip used by jailer Li Dian as a decoration, straightened it, and handed it to Xiao Yeheng.
Wang Mo said unwillingly, "This ramie thread is suitable for bow strings."
Xiao Yeheng took the ramie silk thread and measured it on the cooked long bamboo strip. He used a firewood knife to cut bamboo strips that were about three fingers wide and one meter long. He cut a groove in the middle of each end, and then bent the bamboo strips in an arch shape. The grooves at both ends were tied with silk threads to connect them, creating a simple bamboo bow.
Wang Mo was annoyed, "Why didn't I think of buckling a ramie thread on my whip, what a mistake."
"That's right." Bai Jinchuan waved his folding fan and looked greedily at the bow in Xiao Yeheng's hand, "King An, why don't you give me your bow and the pile of arrows. I'll exchange a catty of rice with you."
Xiao Yeheng casually took a firewood branch from the ground, aimed at Bai Jinchuan with a bow, the firewood branch flew out and hit the hairpin on top of Bai Jinchuan's head.
The hairpin fell to the ground, and Bai Jinchuan's fixed hair immediately fell loose. His long hair fluttered and he had an elegant demeanor.
Yan Shuixin cast a glance, this guy is indeed the hero of the original book, quite handsome.
But thinking about how he almost got a STD... he immediately became a whore again in her eyes.
Bai Jinchuan was so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he raised his hand tremblingly to caress the top of his head, "King An is really good at archery, even a single branch of firewood can hit precisely, if it is replaced with real arrows, it will be terrible. If you don't want to exchange, then don't exchange it, you don't have to be so angry."
Xiao Yeheng turned a deaf ear to him, and just caressed the bamboo bow in his hand, "It's a bit rough, but it's still usable."
It was the first time Yan Shuixin saw Xiao Yeheng shoot an arrow. With such a brilliant archery technique, she admits defeat.
Looking at Bai Jinchuan, who was dressed in a guard's uniform, trembling like a leaf, and Xiao Yeheng, who was dressed in a prisoner's uniform, but had a dignified aura, the danger of the superior was undoubtedly evident.
Bai Jinchuan still couldn't compare with King An. The charm of a man, many times, is not only based on appearance.
Seeing Yan Shuixin sizing him up, Bai Jinchuan immediately revealed the appearance that many good young women in the capital adored, "Doctor Yan, could it be that King An is unsightly and you're gotten tired of him, and you've taken a fancy to this young master?"
After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Yeheng to react, Bai Jinchuan cleverly hid behind Wang Mo.
Yan Shuixin spread her hands indifferently, "I've never looked at King An with straight eyes."
Xiao Yeheng's expression darkened instantly, and the temperature around him seemed to freeze instantly.
Wang Mo gave Yan Shuixin a thumbs up, "Lady, back then, when I was showing off my might and pretending to be a prison guard, I didn't dare to make fun of King An's disability. You are amazing."
Bai Jinchuan declared, "Doctor Yan, I may not be able to defeat King An, but if you are willing to embrace me, Wang Mo and I may be able to fight King An together? If we win by luck, I don't know how we will divide you."
A thunderous palm wind from Xiao Yeheng swept over, Wang Mo and Bai Jinchuan had been preparing to escape, so they both jumped away quickly, and the prison guard clothing on their bodies was still torn by a strong force.
There was a burst of dust, and the two ran away like a gust of wind.
Xiao Yeheng's legs and feet are inconvenient, so he didn't even hop on one leg to chase after them.
Wang Mo and Bai Jinchuan hid by the wall of the utility room, looking at the door of the infirmary from a distance, hoping to see Yan Shuixin's bad luck, and then swoop in again to save the beauty.
Yan Shuixin deliberately ignored Xiao Yeheng's gloomy complexion, pretending to be nonchalant and said, "Why did those two big bastards run away? I haven't finished talking to them yet. Although I have never looked at King An with straight eyes, but I have been watching him with my heart."
After hearing her words, Xiao Yeheng's overwhelming anger dissipated in an instant, and he said helplessly and dotingly, "Xin'er!"
"What's the matter, husband?" She seemed puzzled.
"You did it on purpose just now." Xiao Yeheng was almost certain that she was just teasing him to get angry. He almost thought she didn't have him in her heart, and his whole heart was about to break.
She had an innocent look on her face, "No, no." She took few from the remaining nine long bamboo strips that had been boiled, and began to weave by hand, starting the bottom...the process was skillful and neat.
Xiao Yeheng thought at first that she was going to weave a basket, but the bottom of the basket was too narrow?
Bai Jinchuan and Wang Mo couldn't wait for Yan Shuixin to be beaten, but instead they saw King An still looking at her affectionately. Immediately, they were puzzled by the situation.
While weaving bamboo strips, Yan Shuixin told King An to use the iron toothpick she had picked up previously, to pierce a hole in the middle of each piece of cooked bamboo with the iron toothpick.
Xiao Yeheng didn't understand what she was going to do, so he just did what she said.
The afternoon passed, except for time used for eating, Yan Shuixin has been weaving the 'basket' into a vertical cylinder as thick as a leg.
When distributing the firewood earlier, she specially took a long straight piece of wood with a diameter of ten centimeters.
The wood had also dried in the sun in the past two days. She took a long piece, smoothed the incisions on both sides with a hatchet, and polished the wooden cylinder.
A prosthetic foot made of a piece of wood was made.
Insert the woven long bamboo basket onto the fake foot, with the foot board on the flat side. Skillfully fold the bamboo pieces and continue to weave them together, locking the opening.
The whole wooden prosthetic foot was put in a long bamboo basket of just the right size.
The vertical body of the bamboo basket was 20 centimeters higher than the top plane of the prosthetic foot. Yan Shuixin placed two clean cloth bags filled with cotton wadding, and the corners were fixed with needles and threads. Then wrap the rope from the bottom of the prosthetic foot to the top of the basket, leaving a long rope.
After finishing these, it was evening.
Xiao Yeheng has finished piercing a lot of holes in bamboo pieces, and has been paying attention to the things she made, and his heart has already been shocked. She's making prosthetic leg!
Yan Shuixin picked up the finished prosthetic leg and walked in front of him, "My lord, can I help you try it out?"
As she said that, she walked up to him with the prosthetic limb, squatted in front of him, lifted his trousers, and first wrapped a few loops of cloth around his stump to prevent the prosthetic limb from damaging his severed limb.
Then put a part of his left leg into the bamboo tube, and signaled him to stand up.
The severed limb of his left leg just touched the cloth bag supported by the wooden pillar and padded with cotton wool, and the bamboo basket was put on a part of his leg.
She then wrapped the long rope extending from the bottom of the basket around his left leg twice, then wrapped it up around his waist, and tied it up again.
Put down the bottom of his left trousers and put a shoe and sock on the prosthetic foot of his left leg.
In an instant, Xiao Yeheng stood there majestically like a normal person.
Wang Mo and Bai Jinchuan appeared from nowhere, as did Wan Niang, Zhao Bing, Xia Chuxue, and even Feng Hai and Awang.
They all clicked their tongues in disbelief, "King An actually has a prosthetic limb, and it looks quite symmetrical."
"If I didn't know any better, I would of thought that his leg was never amputated."
"The fake feet are as big as the real ones, so detailed."
Xia Chuxue said sourly, "This artificial foot may not be able to walk."
Xiao Yeheng took two steps on the spot, except that his walk was a little limp, but he was covered by pants, shoes and socks, so nobody could see that he was a cripple with a missing leg.
"You can really walk." Bai Jinchuan was a little envious, "King An, I have to say, you're really lucky to marry an ingenious beauty in prison."
"No matter how it looks, the prosthetic limbs won't become real." Feng Hai snorted. He, who had been labeled a 'impotent man' by her, would never flatter Yan Shuixin for her good craftsmanship.
Xiao Yeheng was extremely excited, he was able to walk on two legs without crutches, he thought this would be impossible in his life, but he didn't expect that Xin'er could make prosthetic limbs, so smart!
The severed left leg was pressed against the soft cotton cloth bag. Although half of the leg had to bear gravity when walking, but he was cushioned by the cotton wool, so he did not feel pain.
"I remember that you have never measured the length of the left leg of this King. The prosthetic left leg is exactly the same length as my right leg. Why does it fit so well?" Xiao Yeheng asked the question in his heart.
Yan Shuixin smiled jokingly, "My lord, you and I have slept together in the same bed for several months, how could I not know how tall and how big you are?"
Xiao Yeheng's face turned red in an instant, what she said really touched his heart, and it was too ambiguous. In front of so many people, was she declaring that she belonged to him?
Sure enough, Wang Mo said angrily, "Doctor Yan, you and Xiao Yeheng have consummated your marriage? Otherwise, how would you know how big his place is?"
Yan Shuixin was only really referring to Xiao Yeheng's leg, but where did the conversation go? Seeing the other few people with an expression of understanding, she immediately blushed.
However, she didn't want to explain that she's still a virgin.
Wan Niang stood among the group of people, and clearly saw Xiao Yeheng's admiring eyes when he looked at Yan Shuixin.
She immediately became annoyed, and while everyone was there, she said, "I want to move to the infirmary..."
Xiao Yeheng frowned, "I won't allow it."
Tears rolled in Wan Niang's eyes, she bit her lip and said sadly, "King An, this little girl has admired you for a long time, these days, when I think of you, I'm unable to think about food and drink, and I can only wash my face with tears."
Xiao Yeheng seemed to have heard some joke, "Oh? I don't know that this ghostly appearance is also favored by women. We don't know each other well, so why?"
Wan Niang mustered up her courage to stand a few meters away, and looked up at him with sincerity, "In prison, Wan Niang has seen too many beasts in human clothing. Even..." Tears rolled down her cheeks, "Wan Niang's innocence was also taken away in prison. I am a weak woman who was raped and lost her virginity, so I have no face to live on. However, I have a paralyzed father, a sick mother, and young siblings to support. I really can't just die like this. "
Looking around at Bai Jinchuan, Wang Mo, Feng Hai, and even Zhao Bing, she said resentfully, "The men in the prison are full of evil, and there is no good one around!" Looking at Xiao Yeheng affectionately again, " Only you, King An, is an upright gentleman, and you have never looked too much nor hurt any woman. Wan Niang respects and admires the character of the prince. Wan Niang is willing to serve King An for life, even if she is a concubine or a maidservant, she is willing!"
The men who were scolded all had ugly faces, and Xiao Yeheng, who was admired, was expressionless, "Have you finished?"
At this time, Yan Shuixin crossed her arms and leaned leisurely by the door of the medical supervision room, watching with relish.
Wan Niang glanced sideways at Yan Shuixin, and suddenly knelt down to Xiao Yeheng, "King An, Doctor Yan is the daughter of Shang Shu, and she comes from a high family background. She must have had a hard time in prison in such an environment, and I am willing to be your servant." I will also serve her well, serve her with tea and water, wash clothes and fold quilts. For her sake, you should accept me as your slave."
Bai Jinchuan applauded first, and said to Feng Hai, "You really are an impotent man, the woman you have been sleeping with for a long time wants to climb into King An's bed in public."
Feng Hai couldn't afford to lose face, so he stepped forward and kicked Wan Niang, "Bitch, aren't I enough for you?"
"I just wanted Master Feng to give up, so I said it in public." Wan Niang was kicked to the ground, relentless, "Doctor Yan is extremely intelligent, and I admire her. I know that King An has a crush on her. If I don't speak about what's in my heart at this moment, as their relationship between deepens, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to have the opportunity to serve King An in the future."
Yan Shuixin said with a half-smile, "I'm moved." She cast a look at Xiao Yeheng, "King An, you are very lucky."
Xiao Yeheng frowned slightly, and asked, "What do you have to say?"
Yan Shuixin didn't understand, "What does this have to do with me?"
"You can decide whether to keep Wan Niang as a maid or not." Xiao Yeheng was just asking, he didn't want one more person in the middle to get in the way.
"None of my business." Yan Shuixin waved her hand, "You can make up your own mind."
Wan Niang hurriedly kowtowed to Xiao Yeheng on the ground, "King An, I am used to rough labor, so I will be able to take good care of you and Doctor Yan. Besides, although my family is poor, I came from a good family..."
Xiao Yeheng narrowed his eyes slightly, thoughtfully, "I don't understand, why don't you confess to Bai Jinchuan instead?"
"Me?" Bai Jinchuan waved his folding fan, "Wan Niang, a little poor girl, actually looks down on such a handsome young master, how sad."
"Wan Niang only loves King An." Her expression was firm.
(this girl being annoying)

"As for the reason you mentioned." Xiao Yeheng pointed at Awang, who had never had a sense of presence. "Although this person is cowardly, his looks are not bad. This king has ruined face, one eye, and amputated leg. While he has no disabilities, so why don't you love Awang?"
He continued, "The reason why you won't pick him, is because Awang is as poor as you. You just want to climb a high branch and find a man to support your family with luxury. If you are released from prison in the future, you are worried that you will have no chance to hook up with a prince, so you made your first move in prison. As for you not hooking up with Bai Jinchuan, it is because he has been with lot of beautiful women in the world before he entered the prison, and he may not be willing to be taken advantage of by your family."
Wan Niang was exposed, her complexion was extremely ugly, and she hurriedly explained, "King An, that's not the case. I really love you..."
"Enough!" Xiao Yeheng cut off her words, "I don't need the admiration of you or other women. I don't like anyone to disturb the life of between of me and Xin'er. I will take good care of Xin'er, so you don't need to worry about it."
Yan Shuixin heard it, and was really sorry. On the one hand, she is happy that Xiao Yeheng has nothing to do with another woman, but on the other hand, she wants him to accept Wan Niang, even though just the thought of this, made her heart bleed.
It's also better than her being caught between the possibility of returning to modern times in the future and staying behind.
"It turns out that Wan Niang wants King An to support her family." Bai Jinchuan clicked his tongue, "Not pretty enough, but also a rotten inside. King An guessed it right, I can play with her for a while, but to support her family forever? Don't even mention it."
Feng Hai slapped Wan Niang viciously, "After following me, you're still restless. It's shameful for you to embarrass me like this."
Wan Niang endured the disdainful gazes around her, feeling resentful in her heart, and suddenly she began to criticize in a sharp voice, "King An only said that Wan Niang's heart is insincere, and I admit that I am interested in your power, and I hope that one day, when I get out of prison, I can live a rich life of the upper class, and hope that King An can bear all the burdens of my family for me." Isn't that easy for a prince? Doesn't Yan Shuixin's heart have the same thoughts? Isn't she interested in King An's position of power as well?"
Her accusations made the atmosphere freeze for a moment.
1
The eyes of everyone present fell on Yan Shuixin.
Xia Chuxue chimed in with a righteous face, "King An, as outsiders, we can speak more truthfully. We all know what you look like. I still remember that time when I lived with you in Cell 59 and I tried to seduce you. At that time, I was just angry because I had all the men in the palm of my hand except you, who was unwilling to be conquered. Since King An was not tempted by me, I gave up and became more obedient. I haven't tried to approach you since."
She glanced at Yan Shuixin lightly, "Although Doctor Yan has taken good care of you, it's hard to say whether she has the same thoughts as Wan Niang."
"No one in my family wants Xiao Yeheng to take care of them." Yan Shuixin defended herself, "Besides, I am the daughter of the Minister of Rites. If one day I get out of this prison, and have to marry someone, the identity of the other party would not be too bad."
Xiao Yeheng narrowed his eyes sharply, and there was a dangerous warning in his eyes, "Xin'er, do you still want to marry someone else?"
"No, no." Yan Shuixin shook her head, "I'm just making an analogy. Haven't I paid respects to you in prison already?"
Only then did Xiao Yeheng calm down.
Bai Jinchuan said, "To be fair, although Yan Shuixin is the daughter of Minister of Rites, she is just an illegitimate child born to a concubine, It would be ideal if she could marry regular courtiers. But King An is the Emperor's younger brother, and in order for him to marry a wife, she must be the daughter of a noble family, therefore a concubine is completely unworthy."
Xia Chuxue agreed, "Before I entered the prison, I've heard that Yan Shuixin was not favored by the Yan family. If it weren't for her meeting King An in the prison, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to marry such a powerful figure as King An."
Wang Mo asked Yan Shuixin curiously, "So, Doctor Yan intended to marry him in the hopes of leaving the prison with a high-status marriage? Otherwise, with King An's disability, who would like him?"
"It seems very reasonable." Yan Shuixin commented, and asked Xiao Yeheng with a smile, "What does King An think?"
Xiao Yeheng stared deeply at Yan Shuixin, "No matter what outsiders say, I believe in your sincerity."
Bai Jinchuan shook his folding fan gracefully, shaking his head, "King An, why should you deceive yourself? Everyone has told you the truth. Do you really believe that Yan Shuixin likes you? You lost your leg, your eye, and even your appearance. When a woman sees you, it's nice enough if she doesn't immediately call you a ghost!"
Xiao Yeheng's face sank suddenly, but he understood that what Bai Jinchuan said was the truth. But when the thought that Xin'er's feelings for him were fake, made his heart ache, "Xin'er, this king still believes in you."
If she was just showing false feelings towards him, he would kill everyone and die with her!
Yan Shuixin understands that if she doesn't explain, everyone will think that she is hypocritical. She is afraid that Xiao Yeheng wouldn't rest assured.
Seeing her silence, Wan Niang smiled viciously, "Just like I said, Doctor Yan is the same as me..."
"Put away your ugly face, you are not worthy to be compared with me." Yan Shuixin said coldly, "Aside from other things, if I, Yan Shuixin, have any burdens, I will never impose them on others, only solve it myself."
At first, she flattered and took care of Xiao Yeheng in order to survive in prison in the future, putting her admiration for him on the lips and relying heavily on the title of Princess An.
But who doesn't want to live? What she did was understandable.
As time went by, she showed her true feelings.
By now, she has truly fallen in love with King An.
Wan Niang's face was embarrassed, and she said angrily, "Doctor Yan's words are really beautiful. But I can also declare that I just admire King An, without any other purpose. Who isn't capable of saying sweet words?"
"This is quite simple. My sincerity can be written on paper. Although I don't need to argue with you, but in order to prove that I have no hidden agenda and save face for King An, I still want to write it down. Of course, there's no need for an audience when I do it." After Yan Shuixin was done talking, she turned and went into the infirmary.
In the consultation room of the medical supervision room, there is a large rectangular table with pens, ink, paper, and inkstones for prescribing prescriptions.
Yan Shuixin took an old medical book from the drawer, opened it, and found that it was all in traditional Chinese characters.
The medical books mainly tell the story of practicing medicine, and there is no substantive guidance content.
The window was open, and everyone saw her studying ink and reading medical books from outside.
Although Yan Shuixin said there was no need for an audience, no one left, they all stretched their necks and gossiped.
Wan Niang mocked, "Does Doctor Yan want to write a prescription to express her sincerity?"
"To make King An believe her hypocrisy, I suspect she will prescribe a poison for herself to eat, and then attempt suicide after crying and creating a scene." Xia Chuxue said with malicious intentions.
"Shut up!" Xiao Yeheng glanced over sharply, and the two immediately fell silent.
Yan Shuixin spoke in generous manner, "As you know, I'm not favored in the Yan Mansion. Although I am smart and talented, I can occasionally recite poems, but being able to speak does not mean that I can write. The Yan family didn't ask the master to teach me any knowledge. It was my mother who taught me how to write. However, after a long time of not writing, I have forgotten how to write some characters. To avoid making typos, I can only copy the characters in the book."
This is what she remembered from the original book. As a modern person who isn't very skilled at writing traditional Chinese characters, this is the best excuse she could come up with.
When her words fell, she had finished studying the ink and picked up the brush to write. If you don't know the words, it's best to follow the book, and you will always be right.
"Xin'er, I believe in your sincerity, so you don't need to write anything." Xiao Yeheng felt distressed.
"I want to." Yan Shuixin just took the brush and wrote the first character. It was ugly and big, and she was unable to write all the words she wanted to express.
After thinking about it, she turned the brush upside down and dipped the end in ink, just like writing with a ballpoint pen. The process became more convenient, and the characters were petite and beautiful.
Everyone looked curiously at her writing style, and the way she wrote had a dignified and pleasant temperament.
For a moment, the six men stared blankly.
After splashing a few lines, Yan Shuixin raised her right thumb and touched a little dust on the wall. She used the dust on her thumb to make a fingerprint on the signature on the paper.
Picking up the written paper and blowing on the half-dried ink, she walked outside the door and handed it to Xiao Yeheng.
Bai Jinchuan took a quick step, and took the lead to grab the paper, "I'm curious as to what Dr. Yan could write that can actually absolve her of the suspicion of being attracted to power." Upon closer inspection, he froze for a moment, and looked at Yan Shuixin in disbelief, "It seems that you are sincere to King An, regardless of his status."
"How is it possible!" Xia Chuxue was full of disbelief, and leaned over to take a look.
Xiao Yeheng waved her away with a palm, grabbed the paper in Bai Jinchuan's hand, and saw that it read:
If I am lucky enough to be released from prison, I, Yan Shuixin, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, will put this letter of commitment into effect.
One, I will absolutely not marry King An according to secular rituals, and not to be the wife of King An in the eyes of the world.
Two, I will not take any money or items from King An.
Three, will not allow myself to bear the burden of personal support, and will add half of it to King An
Fourth, I am married to King An in the prison, and I don't need to make it public. I am willing to only to be King An's woman, and not to betray him.
Fifth, after King An has me, he must not touch other women, otherwise it will be the end. If he despises me, I will never force him to stay by my side.
Sixth, I have absolutely no intention of harming King An.
The above was written by Yan Shuixin herself, and there was also a fingerprint on her name.
Several people on the side also gathered around to look at it, and they were all shocked.
As soon as Xiao Yeheng finished reading it, he immediately crumpled the paper, used his internal strength to shred it, and scattered it in the air.
Shreds of paper fluttered down, Xiao Yeheng clenched his fists, his eyes were angry and distressed, "Yan Shuixin, how could you do this!" She clearly wrote that after she was released from prison, the only interaction she will have with him would be in private. Who else can he marry if not her?
Yan Shuixin said calmly, "I just want you to rest assured, I have no ulterior motives." 'I just want to live, that's all.'
Bai Jinchuan looked at Yan Shuixin with admiration, "This young master has had countless women, all of them were either greedy for money or power, or those who fell in love with my appearance." He glanced at King An and Xiao Yeheng, "Doctor Yan, I admire you for your promise letter. King An's appearance has been ruined, yet you are still willing to be with him, and you don't care about wealth and power. You are truly sincere to him."
Wang Mo was illiterate and asked, "What did Doctor Yan write?"
Bai Jinchuan repeated it. Wang Mo said enviously, "When a woman is alive, her reputation is the most important thing. Which woman doesn't want to marry a good husband? Doctor Yan can't even be Princess An, I can only say, it's too stupid."
The rest of the people had to believe that Yan Shuixin was not seeking power.
Yan Shuixin was also helpless. In this way, it's good for both her and King An. King An is now devoted to her. Her original purpose was just to survive, but how could she have known that he'd fall in love with her?
Would he go insane if she suddenly said she doesn't love him and merely pretended to adore him every day?
When she thought of how he almost strangled her to death back then, she still had lingering fears in her heart.
King An in the original book is not a good person.
Besides, she isn't faking it anymore, she really likes him.
But a person's life is not only about love, but also family affection. No matter what, she couldn't let go of her parents who loved her in modern times, so she had to find a way to return to modern times.
She's on shaky ground right now, therefore it's okay for her to relinquish the title as his princess, if she doesn't, what will he do if she vanishes one day?
Wan Niang made such a move so that she didn't have to marry King An in the future, very good, very good.
If they are out of the prison, the two of them will not live together, and they will not get married. In the future, their relationship will gradually fade away.
"I don't agree!" Xiao Yeheng was burning with anger, and walked to Yan Shuixin with a slight limp in three or two steps. He forcefully hugged her in his arms and said fiercely," After being released from prison, I will immediately request the emperor to marry you to me. You can't escape. The position as Princess An, my wealth, and everything that belongs to me are all yours, and you must not refuse. Otherwise, I will punish your whole family!"
"..." How could she run away? Yan Shuixin's heart stiffened, and her bones ached by his forceful embrace. She originally intended to draw a clear line with him, but she didn't want him to think she was cheating his feelings, so she was willing to compensate him privately by sleeping with him.
Xia Chuxue said jealously, "She's playing hard to get, Yan Shui just wants King An to feel sorry for her."
Bai Jinchuan put away the folding fan, "Miss Xia is wrong. Which woman dares to write such commitment letter with her fingerprints on it just now? Who would have expected that King An would tear it up. If he had accepted it, she would never be able to be Princess An for the rest of her life, she can only be King An's woman. Secondly, without writing that promise, with her relationship with King An, she would have been Princess An if she comes out of prison."
"It is enough to prove that Doctor Yan is sincere." Wang Mo said regretfully, "It's a pity that I admire Doctor Yan, but I can't be her lover."
A murderous gaze burst out from Xiao Yeheng's pupils, and Wang Mo was so scared that he thought he had been killed. He immediately stopped speaking, but he thought to himself, 'King An is a disabled person, but his momentum is truly terrifying.'
2
Wan Niang stood up from her kneeling position and secretly glanced at Yan Shuixin with hatred. Originally, she wanted to commit herself to King An, but unexpectedly, she made the relationship between the cheap woman Yan and King An even deeper, which suffocated her with impatience!
Seeing that everyone was still in a daze, Yan Shuixin thought of Bai Jinchuan and Wang Mo, who had helped her to speak up just now, and she kindly said, "I see you've been quite idle these days, and you are still interested in watching the fun. I don't know what's going on, but eat less in the future and pay attention to safety."
Xia Chuxue snorted, "What else can happen in the prison? The assassin is already dead. Are you trying to be troublesome?"
Yan Shuixin didn't take it seriously, "It's my fault for making you be more careful. That should be up to you."
"Bitch, follow me and see if I don't kill you!" Feng Hai grabbed Wan Niang's wrist and dragged her away. The latter begged for mercy, but no one came to rescue her, so she had to be dragged away.
Seeing that several people were about to disperse, Zhao Bing, who had been quietly hiding behind Wang Mo, quietly approached Xiao Yeheng's position with a dagger in his sleeve pocket.
At this moment, the disabled man embraced Yan Shuixin with both arms, and happened to have his back facing him.
Zhao Bing pretended to follow the people who were walking back, and when he was only three steps away from Xiao Yeheng, he flashed his dagger and quickly stabbed Xiao Yeheng in the back.
Yan Shuixin had noticed that Zhao Bing's gaze at Xiao Yeheng was not right when she was in the public kitchen earlier, and she been paying attention to this guy. Seeing him sprinting over, she immediately pushed Xiao Yeheng away and shouted, "My lord, be careful!"
Xiao Yeheng remained motionless, with one hand still holding her, and concentrating his true energy with the other. His sleeve and robe were lifted back.
The strong genuine qi immediately shook Zhao Bing's body backwards for more than ten meters, and he fell heavily to the ground, causing the dagger to shake off his hand.
Zhao Bing lay on the ground and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
A group of people who were about to leave immediately gathered around, Xia Chuxue exclaimed in disbelief, "My God, how could Zhao Bing assassinate King An?"
Wang Mo gave Xia Chuxue an idiot look, "King An killed his younger brother Zhao Youshun, so he was trying to get revenge."
"Xiao Yeheng... the debt for killing my brother is irredeemable!" Zhao Bing's repressed hate had now surfaced., "I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
Bai Jinchuan shook his folding fan and said regretfully, "Zhao Bing, Zhao Bing, you only have one chance to strike, and you failed to stab someone from behind quietly. King An's heart is vicious, and he will never be merciful to a person who wants to assassinate him. You are dead!"
Sure enough, as he finished speaking, Xiao Yeheng turned around, flipped his robe sleeves, and the dagger was bounced by the force, and the sharp blade pierced Zhao Bing's neck. Zhao Bing opened his eyes violently, before he could even shout, he opened his mouth and swallowed his breath.
Which of the men, besides Awang, hadn't killed too many people? Seeing that Zhao Bing was dead, they didn't show any expression.
Xia Chuxue and Wan Niang were so frightened that they wanted to scream, they both covered their mouths, not daring to make a sound. Awang hid behind Bai Jinchuan with a face full of fear.
Yan Shuixin looked at Xiao Yeheng calmly, and said with concern, "My lord, you have to take care of yourself."
"Don't worry, for your sake, this king will not die," he said with a deep affection in his eyes, almost burning her into his bones.
Yan Shuixin looked back at him with a gentle expression but with a heavy heart. 'Please, stop liking me. In case I leave one day...'
Xiao Yeheng held her in his arms heavily again, and lowered his head to ask, "Xin'er, tell me, after you get out of prison, do you want to stay away from me? Otherwise, why write a commitment letter in front of so many people instead of expressing your feelings to me in private? You just don't want to give yourself a chance to repent in public."
The prince is wise. Yan Shuixin admired his intelligence, but said, "Husband is worrying too much. Why would I want to stay away from you? I can't wait to stay in your arms every day."
Xiao Yeheng finally felt relieved.
The two acted as if no one was around. If it were the past, King An, who had never been close to women, had started being so nice to a woman. The other few people would still have a strong need to gossip.
Now, in order to watch the excitement, the time for dinner has almost passed, and it is important to fill the stomach.
Suddenly, Xia Chuxue pointed at the sky in horror, "What is that?!"
There was only a bright moon, which was as red as blood.
"It's a blood moon!" Bai Jinchuan's complexion changed, "A blood moon has always been an ominous sign."
Even Xiao Yeheng frowned darkly, and the rest of them all showed fear when they heard this.
"I heard that when there is a blood moon, there will be many misfortunes, so there must be troubles for us?" Xia Chuxue trembled.
Yan Shuixin didn't care, and explained it scientifically, "Have you noticed the sunset glow in the evening just now? It was like an endless red bedding covering the sky, and the moon rose before the red glow faded away. Only when the sunset's remaining light reflects on the moon will the moonlight appear red."
Xiao Yeheng nodded, "I agree with what Xin'er said. It's just a natural situation, so don't make a fuss."
Before the other few could say anything, they suddenly saw three streaks of thick smoke rising above the direction of the prison guard's residence.
Bai Jinchuan said leisurely, "Who ran back to make dinner so quickly? I'm so hungry."
Awang walked up behind him like a dog, and squeezed his shoulders, "I'm going to cook dinner for Young Master Bai."
Wan Niang said suspiciously, "Isn't everybody here, so how can anyone make dinner?"
"No, it's a fire!" Wang Mo threw down a sentence, and quickly ran to towards the direction of the prison guard's residence.
"My food is still in the dormitory!" Wan Niang also yelled in shock, and followed closely behind.
The rest of Bai Jinchuan, Awang, Feng Hai, and Xia Chuxue's food were all over there, and everyone's expressions changed drastically in an instant, and they all went in the direction of the fire.
Xiao Yeheng frowned, "There is no one in the jailer's dormitory right now, how could there be a fire? Could it be that someone didn't cover the fire in the stove? That's not right, there's three thick smokes coming from different rooms, it's weird "
"Let's go and have a look." Yan Shuixin and Xiao Yeheng moved the finished bow and a large pile of bamboo slices into the side room of the infirmary room used as the kitchen, and after applying some poison to prevent theft, she locked the door and went to the prison guard's house with Xiao Yeheng.
Although Xiao Yeheng was wearing a fake left limb, his walking speed was not fast, and he was even a little unsteady at first.
Yan Shuixin supported him to walk, and after walking for a while, he got used to using his left stump to press against his prosthetic limb and move forward steadily.
"If it's an ordinary person who walks with prosthetic limbs, it may take some time before they can walk steadily. However, the prince can walk straight away, which is amazing." She sincerely praised.
He didn't think there was anything wrong, "This king has profound internal strength, and my balance ability is much stronger than ordinary people, thus I can naturally adapt." While talking, they had already come to the open space in front of the row of prison guards' dormitories.
Those who ran first carried buckets of water from the well to put out the fire.
The fire was not too big. In the kitchen of the jailer's dormitory, there were several buckets of water in reserve. Soon, the three fires were extinguished.
Yan Shuixin saw that the three fires were all in the different kitchens separated by the wing, and the temporary residence of Wang Mo and the others was the jailer's wing on the first floor.
They are all used the room as a bedroom, and the next one is used as a kitchen.
"Oh my rice!" Xia Chuxue ran into one of the kitchens and cried loudly.
Wan Niang and Feng Hai also ran into another kitchen, where Feng Hai roared loudly, "My rice and Wan Niang's food have all been burned!"
For the first time, Bai Jinchuan, who had always been charming and calm, threw aside his folding fan and stood in the kitchen in a daze. "How could this young master's rice be burned up? Why on earth did this happen?"
Xia Chuxue huddled and shouted, "The place where the rice was stored in the three kitchens caught fire at the same time, it must be a blood moon that brought along the misfortune. There are too many evil spirits here, and ghosts are at work!"
Wang Mo ran into his unburned kitchen and found that the food was still there, he was relieved, "It is good that my food is not burned."
Awang came out from his room "Fortunately, I was smart this time. Food is so precious now, so I didn't dare to hide it in the kitchen. I put it under the couch. My food is fine."
Yan Shuixin looked through the three open kitchen doors and saw only three piles of food that had been burned into ashes.
"Woooo..." Xia Chuxue cried bitterly, "The rations are gone, what should I eat next?"
"How can I live without food!" Feng Hai slapped Wan Niang angrily with red eyes, "Bitch, if you hadn't seduced King An, I would have stayed in the dormitory instead of going out to watch the drama. If there is a fire in the living quarters, I could've detected it as soon as possible, and the food will not have been lost, it is all your fault!" (these men love blaming women😒)
Wan Niang was beaten and fell to the ground, a clear five-fingerprint appeared on her face, and she said aggrievedly, "If you want to blame someone, then blame Yan Shuixin. If she hadn't written a letter of promise, we wouldn't have come back so late." (never mind, keep blaming her!😤)
Xiao Yeheng was sullen, "Xin'er said at the time that she didn't invite you to be an audience. It was you who insisted on not leaving."
Wan Niang sat on the ground without any elegance, and crying, "the food is gone, isn't this forcing us to starve to death!"
"What's the use of crying bitterly?" Yan Shuixin snorted and reminded her, "According to your logic of blaming me, why don't you mention that after I finished writing the letter of commitment, Zhao Bing attempted to assassinate Xiao Yeheng, but there was no fire at that moment, and you would have had the time to go back to the dormitory if it wasn't for him. Don't you want to blame the dead Zhao Bing for delaying time with his assassination? Stop blaming others for an accident, when you were the one who was preoccupied. I don't owe you anything! As a friendly reminder, there's someone who has left behind food and won't needing it."
She had no plans on stealing it, otherwise, several hungry people will immediately unite to grab food back. With the addition of Wang Mo to help his brother Feng Hai, no matter how advanced Xiao Yeheng's martial arts is, it will be difficult to handle everyone.
Everyone immediately understood her meaning. Bai Jinchuan and Xia Chuxue ran out of their their respective kitchens, and ran into the room of the recently deceased, Zhao Bing.
Wan Niang and Feng Hai were in the same kitchen, and because they were next door to Zhao Bing's room, they soon went to Zhao Bing's room as well.
The four started to fight over Zhao Bing's surplus grain. Bai Jinchuan and Feng Hai were fighting fiercely, while Wan Niang and Xia Chuxue took advantage of the gap between the two to dig out the grain from the cabinet, each of them packed it in a cloth bag, and wanted to escape.
Seeing this, Bai Jinchuan and Feng Hai stopped fighting, and shouted in unison, "Stop!"
1
The two women stopped with their bags on their shoulders.
"Bring the food!" Bai Jinchuan reached out to Xia Chuxue, while Feng Hai went to grab Wan Niang.
"I got it first, I won't give it up!" Wan Niang lay on the ground, tightly protecting half a bag of food under her body.
Xia Chuxue was forced to retreat step by step by Bai Jinchuan, turned around and ran to hide behind Xiao Yeheng and Yan Shuixin who were standing in the open space.
"Come here!" Bai Jinchuan chased after her, "Hand over the food!"
"I won't." Xia Chuxue pleaded, "Master Bai, since we're on good terms, I won't keep the food for myself. Let's share it equally."
Xiao Yeheng waved his true energy with his palms at Xia Chuxue and Bai Jinchuan respectively, and because they had no killing intent, they were only shocked back a few steps, "Get out!"
He would not let these two get close, to avoid being stabbed in the back again.
Bai Jinchuan barely stood still, so he had to go around to catch Xia Chuxue.
Xia Chuxue didn't dare to hide behind Xiao Yeheng and Yan Shuixin anymore. This time, she ran behind Wang Mo and hid, "Brother Wang, help me! For the sake of our relationship, I served you so well back then. Help me!"
Before Wang Mo could react, Bai Jinchuan snorted coldly, "Hmph, you got venereal disease, and begged a bandit, do you really think he will help you?"
"You're wrong about that." Wang Mo said arrogantly, crossing his hands around his chest, "So what if I'm a bandit? Aren't I also a man? The woman who played with me asked for my help, and she didn't pass on the disease to me. While you bullied a weak woman, so I should really take care of this matter!"
Upon hearing this, Wan Niang took a bite of Feng Hai, who was robbing the grain, and hurriedly ran to hide behind Wang Mo. She anxiously and fearfully said, "Brother Wang, help me too. Xia Chuxue is sick, and she will not be able to serve you in the future. But I can, I will definitely use all my skills to satisfy you."
The food she snatched won't last for a few days, but Wang Mo has food. With him, she could still starve for a few days less.
Wang Mo hesitated, Wan Niang looked pretty, and he hadn't slept with her before, "Let me think about it..."
"Please, Brother Wang." Wan Niang said with tears, "Feng Hai is not human at all, he abuses me every day. You are a hero, Wan Niang has been pleased with you for a long time. For a woman who likes you, don't you feel tempted?"
Wang Mo glanced at Xiao Yeheng, and said to Wan Niang, "You just said that you loved King An."
"I don't admit it, I just like his power and status. I just wanted my family to have a good life when I get out prison." Wan Niang said, "King An is so ugly, I would be blind if I had liked him. Brother Wang, you are different. You are good-looking and have high martial arts skills. Wan Niang really likes you."
"I have never been shown this much love by a woman at my big age." Wang Mo laughed loudly, and patted his chest proudly, "Okay, I will protect you today."
Feng Hai drew out his long sword and pointed at Wang Mo, "Brother, mind your own business. Otherwise, don't blame the sword in my hand for not recognizing people."
Bai Jinchuan also shook his folding fan, and said angrily, "Wang Mo, if I join forces with Feng Hai, you won't be able to beat me. Think clearly, do you want to protect those two women with all your might?"
Although Wang Mo was a little scared, he did not go back on his promise, "If you two want to defeat me, you might be injured in the process. At that time, three of us will be heavily injured, and who will benefit from it?"
By coincidence, they all looked at Xiao Yeheng, and remained silent.
Wang Mo continued to lobby, "At that time, let King An take advantage of the situation, how can the three of us survive? How about letting Xia Chuxue and Wan Niang share the food with you equally. You should have a bit of pride, and stop bullying weak girls, how about it?"
Feng Hai thought about it, "That's fine."
"I agree." Bai Jinchuan waved his folding fan, and if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't do it.
Wang Mo said to Wan Niang and Xia Chuxue, "Hurry up and share the food."
"But..." Xia Chuxue was still unwilling. Wang Moke was annoyed, "It doesn't matter, I won't protect you anymore."
Xia Chuxue then laid out the half bag of food she was clutching tightly in her hand, and Wan Niang did the same.
Zhao Bing's surplus food was only twenty catties of rice and four catties of sweet potatoes.
Bai Jinchuan frowned, "Why is there only so little?"
Yan Shuixin felt that something was wrong, "Eighteen catties of rice, a piece of bacon, a pumpkin, and two catties of soybeans are missing. No matter how much he eats these days, there should be more than twenty catties of rice left. I estimate that eight catties of rice are still missing."
Xia Chuxue looked completely in disbelief, "Zhao Bing was a handyman when he was alive, and he always had a big appetite, maybe he ate the eight catties himself?"
Yan Shuixin still felt that something was wrong, "I calculated according to someone with a large appetite, and it's missing eight catties, otherwise it should've been more."
Feng Hai pondered, "If anyone wants to steal Zhao Bing's surplus food, they must take it all, it's impossible to just take eight catties and go. It means that Zhao Bing has a huge appetite and ate too much."
Bai Jinchuan and Wang Mo searched the kitchen and room that Zhao Bing had used before his death, but they couldn't find any more food.
Therefore, these two people, along with Wan Niang and Xia Chuxue, shared Zhao Bing's surplus food equally, and each received five catties of rice and one catty of sweet potatoes.
According to the appetite of normal person, each of these four people can eat for five days. If you save food and don't get full, you won't die of hunger in eight to ten days.
Wang Mo said suspiciously to Yan Shuixin, "Doctor Yan, the food storage area of the three kitchens caught fire. The fire started strangely. You are always smart, maybe you can deduce who set the fire?"
Awang also timidly said, "Is there anyone else hiding in the dark besides us?"
Yan Shuixin frowned, "Probably not. During the time we lived here, there was no fire other than the smoke we made ourselves, even if that person prepared dry food, drinking water, etc., there will always be clues of somebody else living here. We have looked everywhere before, and there is indeed no one else in the prison except us. The most important thing is that the dead corpses and the living ones have been recorded, so it's impossible for an individual to hide in the dark without being discovered."
Xiao Yeheng continued, "In other words, the person who set the fire is hiding among us."
Wang Mo couldn't figure it out, "But, just now everyone was in the infirmary."
Yan Shuixin's eyes fell on Xia Chuxue, "Although everyone gathered there to watch the fun, Miss Xia was the last one to come."
Xia Chuxue said angrily, "Yan Shuixin, what do you mean? Could it be that I set the fire? Would I be stupid enough to burn my own rations?"
"Of course you would say that." Yan Shuixin sneered, "If it weren't for a guilty conscience, why are you so excited?"
"I'm almost being wronged by you, how can I not be excited?" Xia Chuxue was filled with righteous indignation.
Yan Shuixin raised her eyebrows, "Oh? What did I wrong you for?"
Xia Chuxue just thought of it, and the other party only said that she was the last to arrive. She was at a loss for words, "It's not me anyway, I swear on my character."
This time, it was Wang Mo who smiled and said, "Miss Xia, what character do you have? On the bed, you also had the character to swear that you liked the former prison boss Sun Cheng."
Xia Chuxue looked sour, "Brother Wang, don't make fun of me, I'm innocent, you have to help me."
"Let's check the scene first." Bai Jinchuan decided, "We must figure out how the fires in the three kitchens started burning at the same time?"
A group of people first went to the first kitchen shared by Wan Niang and Feng Hai to check, and there was nothing suspicious about the simple earthen stove, buckets, and cabinets.
The wooden vat in the corner was filled with grain, and even the grain and the vat were burnt to ashes, and even the soil wall was blackened.
When they went to Bai Jinchuan's kitchen, the food was in the cabinet, and even the food cabinet was burnt. In Xia Chuxue's makeshift kitchen, the food was placed in a bamboo basket in the corner, and it was also burnt clean.
The three temporary kitchens separated by wing rooms have one thing in common. The fire was extinguished in time and did not spread to the entire prison guard's quarters.
The more Bai Jinchuan looked at it, the more he felt strange. "Three kitchens were on fire at the same time. Even if Xia Chuxue came late to watch the fun, she had already stayed with everyone in the open space in front of the infirmary for a long time. The fire only started when everyone saw it. How could she be able to set fire?"
The rest also thought it was impossible.
Yan Shuixin walked to the pile of food ashes in Bai Jinchuan's kitchen, picked up some ashes and sniffed them in front of her nose, "So that's how it is."
Wang Mo hurriedly asked, "Does Doctor Yan know what's going on?"
She asked back, "You don't know?"
The others shook their heads, and only Xiao Yeheng could smell it, "There is a smell of phosphorous powder in the ashes of the food. As far as I know, this thing will automatically catch fire when it encounters a certain degree of heat."
Bai Jinchuan shook his folding fan gracefully and said, "This young master has also heard that the phosphorus powder catches fire when it gets hot, but at least it needs the heat of noon. The fire started in the evening, and the sun was going down, so the temperature was cool. Phosphorous powder will not ignite spontaneously at this time."
"Even if there is phosphorus powder in the grain, the reason for the fire cannot be explained." The rest of the people said this one after another.
Xia Chuxue pondered, "The only possibility is that ghosts are causing trouble..."
Yan Shuixin, a time traveler, can't say that she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods anymore, but no one has ever seen ghosts, right? "This was not done by a ghost, which ghost can come out in the evening?"
Wang Mo looked at Xia Chuxue with some displeasure, "Miss Xia, you have repeatedly led this matter to ghosts and misfortune, Is it really you who set fire?"
"Absolutely not." Two lines of tears fell from Xia Chuxue's eyes, feeling deeply distressed, "My food was also burned! If I burn my own food, I would just die of starvation."
"So the suspicion of Xia Chuxue can also be ruled out." Bai Jinchuan chimed in, and glanced at Xiao Yeheng, Yan Shuixin, and Wang Mo, with a meaningful look, "Especially those whose food has not been burned are the most suspicious."
As soon as the words came out, the four people who had their food burned all stared murderously at the ones who hadn't.
"I would never waste food like this." Wang Mo said impatiently, "If I want to do it, I will steal all your food. Burning food is not my doing."
Yan Shuixin looked calm, and analyzed for them one by one. "In the ashes of the grain, there is also sand in addition to phosphorus powder. If I guessed correctly, there's a funnel on the beam above the grain pile, and there is sand in the funnel, and a fire foil should've been placed in the sand. It will take a certain amount of time for the sand to leak out, like an hourglass. That was the time when you were outside of the infirmary. After the sand leaked out, the fire fold from the funnel will fall on the grain or cabinet that was previously sprinkled with phosphorus powder in advance. Although the fire fold had a cover, it was still hotter than ordinary things, and it will ignite when it encounters phosphorus powder. There are three funnels above the food storages in those three kitchens, all of which had the same outcome. If you calculate the hour of the hourglass, then the food storages in the three kitchens will be on fire at the same time as we can see."
Bai Jinchuan showed off his lightness kung fu and flew onto the beam, and sure enough he took a funnel down from the beam.
Wang Mo and Feng Hai also went to get the funnels from the beam in the other two kitchens. You Wang Mo said, "Doctor Yan, you are too smart! You were right."
Feng Hai said, "The beam is huge and the wall is high. If the position of the funnel wasn't close to the wall, you wouldn't have discovered the existence of them."
Xiao Yeheng looked at Yan Shuixin appreciatively, "Except for Xin'er, I'm afraid no one would've figured it out."
"The person who set up this plan, isn't using ordinary scheming," said Yan Shuixin, without taking credit for it,
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xia Chuxue again.
"Stinky bitch, you dare to burn my food, see if I don't kill you!" Feng Hai drew his knife angrily.
1
Bai Jinchuan was also very angry, "Miss Xia, no matter what, we have a good relationship, but you still have the heart to starve me to death?"
Xia Chuxue waved her hands quickly, crying with excitement, "It's not me, it's really not me. The beams are so high, I don't know martial arts, and I can't put a funnel into it. I don't have the ability, nor the motivation. Besides, I wouldn't burn my own rations."
Speaking of it, except for arriving late at the entrance of the infirmary, no one saw her setting up a fire." Bai Jinchuan raised some doubts.
Xia Chuxue nodded immediately, "I am not the only one who is late, but also Zhao Bing." She suddenly realized, "It was Zhao Bing who set the fire. When I was with him, he once said that he would assassinate Xiao Yeheng. The reason why I arrived late was that I went back to the hut, just in time to see Zhao Bing coming out of Young Master Bai's kitchen. At first, I didn't understand what was going on. Zhao Bing asked me not to say anything about seeing him entering Master Bai's kitchen. He also forced me to swear that if I told the story, there would be a thunderbolt from the sky. Now that I think about it, it was Zhao Bing who started the fire. He has good martial arts skills, motivation and the ability to do so."
"Now that you say it, aren't you afraid of being struck by a thunderbolt?" Bai Jinchuan asked with a sneer.
"It's a matter between life and death, I have to say it." Xia Chuxue lowered her head.
Yan Shuixin smiled slightly, "Miss Xia is clever, she put all the blame on Zhao Bing, the dead man. He can't jump up and accuse you of lying, can he?"
Xia Chuxue cried bitterly, looking innocent, "Doctor Yan, although I have seduced your beloved King An, I did not succeed after all. You don't need to seek revenge, so why blame me for this crime? Xue'er was born in a noble family and has been reading poetry and books since childhood. Let alone harming others, I don't even dare to kill a chicken."
That pitiful appearance, no matter who looked at it, they couldn't help but believe what she said.
After speaking, Xia Chuxue lifted up her trousers, revealing her fair thighs. There were red spots on her legs due to the venereal disease, but her knees were clearly bruised, "This is the bruise that Zhao Bing caused when he forced me to swear and kneel on the ground before."
Seeing the wounds on her knees, almost everyone believed Xia Chuxue's words, and cursed out Zhao Bing for a moment, even in death he wouldn't let anyone live in peace.
Wang Mo disagreed and said, "Doctor Yan, you have always been a magnanimous person, so you shouldn't avenge your personal grievances like this."
Yan Shuixin, however, felt that Xia Chuxue was not so simple. "Xiao Yeheng didn't even glance at Xia Chuxue. How can I be after revenge? Don't be fooled by her appearance."
"Xin'er, whether they believe it or not, let's go." Xiao Yeheng took her hand and walked out of the kitchen door.
Xia Chuxue looked at the two of them leaving with a sigh of relief, and said pitifully, "Finally, I don't have to be targeted by Doctor Yan. I was scared to death." She cast an ambiguous look at Wang Mo charmingly, "Brother Wang, thank you so much. If it wasn't for you, Xueer would have been wronged today. If Xueer hadn't gotten sick... I would have repaid you with my body."
"You can't, but I can." Wan Niang put on a beautiful smile on her face, and stepped forward to hold Wang Mo's arm, "Brother Wang hasn't been close to a woman for a long time, right? Why are you guarding yourself for that Yan Shuixin? She doesn't even appreciate it. Wan Niang is the one who can make you happy, let's go to my room to 'talk'..."
"It makes sense." Wang Mo nodded and said, "However, if it wasn't for me guarding my body for doctor Yan for a while," he glanced over at Xia Chuxue and continued, "I might have contracted a dirty disease from her."
Xia Chuxue stared at the lowly couple with an ugly expression as they left the kitchen, and entered Wan Niang's wing.
An embarrassing noises soon came from the next door.
Awang was about to leave, but Xia Chuxue held him back, "Brother Awang, let's cultivate a relationship too..."
"It's best if we don't. I'm afraid of getting sick." Awang withdrew his hand and followed Bai Jinchuan timidly.
Xia Chuxue stood alone in the kitchen, a sinister smile appeared on her originally beautiful face.
...
Yan Shuixin and Xiao Yeheng walked side by side towards the infirmary. Under the moonlight, two long shadows formed on the ground.
The evening breeze is blowing gently, and the moon is as bright.
The silence of the night couldn't hide the worry in Yan Shuixin's heart, "My lord, tell me, is Xia Chuxue the one who set the fire?"
"The evidence indicates that it's not her, but..." Xiao Yeheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You cannot judge a person by their appearance. If it's really Xia Chuxue behind this, then she has a really deep scheming mind."
"Xia Chuxue doesn't know martial arts..."
"Not necessarily." Xiao Yeheng said thoughtfully, "In martial arts, there's an internal mental skill that can make the inner strength retrograde, and those who practice this skill can hide their martial arts. Even if you feel their pulse, you will not notice it."
"If Xia Chuxue knows martial arts, then she must be the one who started the fire." Yan Shuixin was certain, "Before Zhao Bing died, If he wanted to assassinate you, he wouldn't bother to go through the complicated process of three funnels to leak sand. Instead, he would put all his attention on how to take your life. When we were at the infirmary, only Xia Chuxue and Zhao Bing came late, so only these two had the opportunity to take advantage of everyone's absence to set up this plan. Xia Chuxue blamed Zhao Bing for the arson, which was completely unfounded. The injury on her knee might have been caused by her in advance to prevent loopholes in her alibi. Even her own food was deliberately burned, to remove any suspicion."
Xiao Yeheng's eyes flashed with a deep light, "It is very likely. If this is the case, the prison will have more trouble in the future."
Yan Shuixin understood, "Setting fire to the four people's food, and leaving no food for them to eat, they obviously wanted people to rob each other. That would cause chaos, and they might even kill people just to grab food."
" And you and I, who have the most food, would be the most guilty." Xiao Yeheng pointed out.
Yan Shuixin seemed to think of something again, "Today, I want to continue convicting Xia Chuxue of arson. Bai Jinchuan showed a lack of interest, but Wang Mo directly helped Xia Chuxue. Obviously, they don't want to see Xia Chuxue have an accident."
"In this way, these people will unite to deal with you and me." Xiao Yeheng looked worried, "We have to be careful. If there is a chance, just kill them."
She nodded slightly.
After returning to the side room of the infirmary, Xiao Yeheng started to light the stove, wash the rice, and cook.
He took down half of the bacon hanging on the wall, cut half of it, and cut it into pieces on the cleaned wooden board with a kitchen knife.
The two only got one piece of bacon each, and they at most had one meal with bacon every day, so there was no need to stir fry every meal.
These days, at his request, Yan Shuixin had no choice but to guide him in cooking and stir frying. As a pampered prince, after a few days of practice, he was already able to cook.
On the ground was a large pile of bamboo pieces that were as long as a thumb and as wide as two fingers. These bamboo slices have been boiled before, and each slice has been pierced with an iron toothpick in the middle and across the sides.
Yan Shuixin picked up several strands of sewing thread and twisted them into one strand, passing through the horizontal and vertical holes on the side of the bamboo strips, connecting them one by one.
Xiao Yeheng looked at her while cooking, "Xin'er, are you going to make a bamboo mat? The weather is hot, so it's a good idea to make a bamboo mat, but the bamboo slices may not be enough."
"Of course not." She shook her head and said, "There are so many bamboo plants in the prison, we have to cut them down. Of course we have to make the best use of them, it's too wasteful to make summer mats. I'm actually making a vest."
He didn't understand for a while.
"That's what you call a sleeveless jacket." She explained, "The other six people in the prison are not good people. The vest made of boiled bamboo slices is very strong. In case of being stabbed, ordinary knives and swords won't penetrate the vest, and it can also prevent arrows." It can be used as a body armor.
He looked at her incredulously, with admiration in his eyes, "Xin'er, you are really smart."
She smiled, "My cleverness was forced out by the environment."
"It's great if you can make a vest, It will be really beneficial in terms of safety." Xiao Yeheng thought she was making a vest for herself.
Each piece of bamboo, Yan Shuixin threaded it into long horizontal and vertical rows, with a large number of bamboo pieces connected and threaded together, which looked a bit like a piece of bamboo cloth.
She picked it up and gestured at Xiao Yeheng.
He froze, and said in surprise, "Xin'er...you, are you making a vest for me?"
"Make yours first, then mine." She didn't hesitate, and glanced at the pile of bamboo pieces, "I've calculated it, it should be enough."
He nodded emotionally. She is so kind. How should he love her back?
Dinner was stir-fried bacon pork cooked by King An, and stuffed rice in a crock pot. The two of them had a very satisfying meal.
There was a sudden rustling sound outside the door.
"What's going on outside?" Yan Shuixin walked towards the door, and Xiao Yeheng took a step ahead of her.
The two walked to the door, only to see Feng Hai dragging Zhao Bing's body in the open space.
Yan Shuixin gave Feng Hai an appreciative look, "Not bad, you know how to drag the body away and bury it."
Feng Hai gave her an idiot look, carried the corpse on his back and stepped into the night.
Yan Shuixin was despised, and looked at Xiao Yeheng inexplicably, "My lord, did I say something wrong?"
"The hundreds of corpses that had died before had been believed to be infectious, so they were buried quickly. However, Zheng Quan's body has been in the prison cell for several days and has rotted without anyone taking care of it." Xiao Yeheng looked at her with a gentle face, and asked with a smile, "Xin'er, do you think Feng Hai is a kind person?"
"No." She muttered, "Then why did he take away Zhao Bing's corpse?"
Xiao Yeheng gave the answer expressionlessly, "Doesn't he only have enough food for five days? He's preparing for the worst."
Yan Shuixin widened her eyes, and couldn't understand it from a modern perspective. "You mean, Feng Hai is going to eat human flesh?"
He nodded expressionlessly, "A bandit who has been wanted by the court for a long time, and lived a life of danger. He might have eaten it before."
5
She was flustered by the wind. No way, she could never eat that.
No longer thinking about it, she continued to work on the bamboo vest until midnight, only halfway through the first task. She wanted to continue, but Xiao Yeheng didn't allow her to stay up late, so she had to go to sleep.
the two had just laid on the bed, the room was pitch black, only five fingers were faintly visible when they stretched out their hands.
Suddenly, a black shadow appeared outside the closed window, which was particularly frightening in the dark night.
Xiao Yeheng sat up vigorously, and said, "Who is it?!"
Yan Shuixin also got up quickly, and lit the candles.
They had been allocated two sticks of candles before, but she had never been willing to use them.
"I'll take a look." Xiao Yeheng walked out the door with a jailer's long knife in one hand and a candle in the other.
The shadow disappeared before he opened the door.
Yan Shuixin walked behind him, "My lord, who was outside just now?"
Xiao Yeheng took a candle to illuminate the surrounding area, "They left before we came out. I didn't see who it was, but I'm certain it's a bad person."
"Could it be that assassin?" Yan Shuixin was worried.
"It's a man." Xiao Yeheng held a candle and shone it on the ground outside the window, and saw two clear footprints on the ground, which happened to be in the place where the shadow stood just now.
Yan Shuixin noticed, "The size of the footprint and the texture of the sole seem to be the same as Feng Hai's footprint."
Xiao Yeheng looked at the place where Feng Hai dragged Zhao Bing's body before, "It's the same footprint. Is it possible that the black shadow just now was Feng Hai?"
Yan Shuixin also looked back and forth between the two footprints before nodding, "It's really him."
"Feng Hai, a villain, dared to appear outside our window in the middle of the night with ulterior motives, I will punish him tomorrow" Xiao Yeheng gritted his teeth viciously, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Yeah." Yan Shuixin said intentionally, "Our food is all poisoned. Whoever eats it will die. Only we can eat it and detoxify it in advance. Fortunately, he is smart and didn't steal the food."
A figure was hidden in the dark, listening with a gloomy expression and a deathly stillness in his eyes. Like a shadow, without a sound.
Yan Shuixin and Xiao Yeheng went back to the room and bolted the door.
"My lord, the footprint just now is not Feng Hai's at all." Yan Shuixin said in a low voice, "I suspected that the black shadow hadn't left yet, so I deliberately said it was him. Although the pattern and size of the sole are the same as Feng Hai's footprint, but the depth of the footprints of the black figure is much shallower than Feng Hai's. Moreover, the front of the footprint is deep, and the heel is shallow. It indicates that someone is wearing shoes with the same pattern as Feng Hai's sole, pretending to be him."
"This king has also discovered it." Xiao Yeheng's eyes were deep, "Feng Hai is tall and burly, If he were standing outside the window, he should have reached this position." He casually gestured at the window frame, "and the dark shadow just now was not that tall."
Yan Shuixin understood, "It seems that the other party wants to use your hand, my lord, to kill Feng Hai."
Chapter 47
"Borrowing the king's knife to kill people is not so easy." Xiao Yeheng didn't think so. As he passed by the old round table in the room, he dripped a drop of wax oil on the table top, and then pressed the candle onto the soft wax that had just been dripped out. Once the candle had stabilized, he returned to her.
The two stood on the edge of the bed, and he stared at her with deep eyes, "Xin'er, come here... Does your stomach still hurt?"
She shook her head, "It doesn't hurt."
Is it gone?
Today he saw her hanging her menstrual belt in a corner of the room, tied with thread and hung on a nail.
Sleeping in the same bed with her every night, heaven knows how hard he endured.
Yan Shuixin didn't know what he was thinking, so she let him sit on the edge of the bed, and said softly, "My lord, just now I saw that you lying down without taking off your prosthetic leg. Why don't you take it off, so that you can sleep more comfortably that way."
He nodded slightly. In fact, he also wanted to take it off, but he was embarrassed to do so in front of her, so he just went to sleep directly.
The prosthetic limb was tied from his left thigh to his waist with a bamboo vertical basket, and was tied from his left thigh to his waist. She untied it one by one, put it on the side together with the prosthetic limb, took off his shoes and socks, and helped him to lay down on the bed.
Rolling up his left trousers, she saw that his left leg stump, which only reached the knee, was a little red due to walking with a prosthetic leg. She stroked it lightly, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
He shook his head and stared at her overly beautiful little face, ignoring the remaining traces of acne on her cheeks. From her agile eyes, he could only see affection, without any disgust.
Heartfelt emotions filled his chest, and he opened his lips in a hoarse voice, "Xin'er..."
She fixedly stared at his half-handsome face, and at his left prosthetic eye, which was even whiter than the average person's pupils, "Can this be taken off? Isn't it uncomfortable to sleep with a fake eyeball on?"
He froze. In fact, he didn't wear the false eyeball when he slept before. But, he didn't take it off because he was afraid of scaring her.
Yan Shuixin didn't mention it because she was afraid of hurting his heart. Moreover, in the past, her relationship with him was not as good as it is now, so it was inconvenient to bring it up.
At present, she's more qualified to speak up.
He was silent for a while, but then he thought about how she would spend her whole life with him, so he couldn't continue to avoid taking off his fake eye in front of her.
However, the thought of her being afraid of him, made his heart feel as if it was being strangled. If she really disliked him, it would definitely feel worse than death, which would enrage him and make him want to kill someone.
He was even afraid that if he couldn't bear it, he would die with her!
The whole heart was clenched tightly, but Xiao Yeheng's expression was calm and unrestrained. He raised his hand and inserted it into his left eye socket, and a fake eyeball was pulled out.
Yan Shuixin picked up the prosthetic eye in the palm of his hand expressionlessly. The material of the eye was warm white jade, and there was a smaller black stone circle on the surface of the white sphere, which was very close to the human pupils.
With Xiao Yeheng's status, it is not difficult to find a piece of warm white jade that is naturally mixed with black stone. Then a skillful craftsmen can make it into the shape of eyeball.
It is not appropriate to pay too much attention to others' disabilities.
She gave it a quick glance, then took half a piece of apron cloth from her bosom, which she had washed herself, wrapped the prosthetic eye, and placed it on the nightstand so he could easily grab it when he woke up the next morning.
Xiao Yeheng stared at her, her face was calm and peaceful, as if she didn't see his deformity, "Xin'er, look at me." He said.
She raised her head slightly, "Huh?"
He pointed to the hollow hole in his left eye and said, "I used to find it disgusting and ugly when I looked at myself in the mirror. Why didn't you react?"
"Is that all?" She snorted, "I am a doctor, what strange bodies and faces have I not seen? You are not bad. I have treated several special cases before. There was a man who was born without limbs, but he worked hard to survive, and by relying on holding a pen in his mouth, he wrote really well and even published a book. There is also a woman who has no arms, and can only use her feet to write and do housework, and capable enough to do tasks that ordinary people can do. She also gave birth to two lovely children. There is also a man whose facial features were burnt beyond recognition, and his eyes became blind. He lived with two empty eye holes every day, so he learned to paint by groping, and later became a painter."
Looking at him fixedly, her voice was as gentle as water, "Husband, although you are very unfortunate, you still have a brother who loves you, as well as me. I believe that the emperor also wants you to be happy every day. As for me..." After a pause, she looked at him and said shyly, "I cannot lose you."
"Xin'er..." He was so deeply moved.
She raised her hand and rubbed his mutilated left cheek with her fingertips, "Don't say that your face is ugly in the future. There is a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In my eyes, you are the most handsome man in the world."
He hugged her tightly, resting his chin on her thin shoulder, murmuring with sobs, "Xin'er...my wife."
"My lord, Xin'er is not afraid of you." She reached out and patted his back, and talked nonsense, "Think about it, so many people died in the prison, and so many disgusting corpses have been seen, but I have never frowned. Your appearance, in my heart, is already very handsome." The right cheek is indeed very handsome.
However, although she is not obsessed with looks, she will appreciate a handsome guy when she sees one. There are definitely a lot of people in the world who are more attractive than him.
There was a slight mist in his only right pupil, and he only swore in his heart that he would protect her with his life.
Taking out a small stone from his sleeve pocket, he condensed his true energy and shot it out, hitting the burning candle wick on the table, and the candle was extinguished.
The two embraced each other and slept together all night. Although they didn't do that kind of thing, their hearts were close to each other.
Early the next morning, Yan Shuixin woke up from her sleep, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she met Xiao Yeheng's amazed eyes.
"Xin'er, you are so beautiful!" He stared at her obsessively, admiring in a hoarse voice.
"Really?" She wondered, she had never seen him so captivated before.
Wearing only her middle coat, she got off the bed with her prison jacket on. She walked to the side room used as the kitchen and stared at her reflection in a bucket of water in the corner.
She saw her reflection in the water with undrawn eyebrows, unpainted but red lips, a straight nose, and a pair of eyes full of aura. She is really a stunning beauty!
Moreover, upon closer inspection, the acne on her face has completely healed, and the red marks that had healed a few days ago have not left any trace on her face.
Yan Shuixin was stunned, and pointed to the reflection in the bucket, "Is... is that really me?"
Xiao Yeheng had already put on a prosthetic limb and artificial eye, and came neatly dressed behind her. His arms wrapped around her and he said, "Yes, it is the wife of this king, the unparalleled beauty in the world."
She turned around and circled around in front of him, "My lord, how is my figure?"
He stared at her delicate figure, with long legs and a slender waist, but with big breasts, his eyes turned burning hot, "Very good."
Seeing his obsessed eyes, Yan Shuixin couldn't help kissing his mutilated left cheek, "My lord, I'm so happy that I've become beautiful. Women who wish to fulfill themselves do not want to be ugly." Then, something came to mind, "In prison, beauty may not be a good thing."
But she couldn't disfigure herself either. She wanted to disguise herself, but she didn't even have makeup.
"It's okay." Xiao Yeheng kissed her cherry red lips and said, "Whoever dares to plot against you, I will kill him!"
She giggled, "The prince is cute when he's angry."
He was taken aback for a moment and said, "That's because you've never seen me really angry before."
"What will happen if you really get angry?"
"It's very simple, someone will die."
After breakfast, she started making bamboo vests again in the remote kitchen.
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and there was a sound of footsteps coming from afar.
Yan Shuixin paused while making the bamboo vest, and quickly put the half-made bamboo vest away in the room where they slept.
It's not convenient for outsiders to know about the 'body armor'.
"Doctor Yan, you are here." Wan Niang, Feng Hai, Bai Jinchuan, and Xia Chuxue walked to the open space outside the room, and it was Wan Niang who spoke.
The moment they saw Yan Shuixin, the four of them were amazed at the same time.
They saw Yan Shuixin standing at the side door with bright eyes and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows, and an incredibly beautiful face. Her skin was so white and tender, and had no traces of pimples. She was dressed in prison clothes, but her figure was particularly slender.
Bai Jinchuan was fascinated by the sight and said, "The always ugly Doctor Yan, has cured her acne on her face, and she turned out to be so stunning. It was this young master who had previously overlooked her."
Feng Hai smiled and said to Xia Chuxue, "Miss Xia, as the most beautiful woman in the capital, your reputation has now become false. You're not even half as beautiful as Doctor Yan."
Xia Chuxue's eyes were full of jealousy, and she was very eager to scratch her beautiful face. Isn't this bitch supposed to be ugly? Why is she more beautiful now?
Yan Shuixin didn't care about the reaction of the four of them. Because her appearance is exactly the same as the modern one, except that her current body is ten years younger. In modern times, when she walks along the street, 98% of people turned their heads once they spotted her.
There are always a few people who are immune to beautiful women.
1
"No wonder King An didn't look at me," said Wan Niang enviously."I didn't know Doctor Yan was such a beautiful woman. Wan Niang is willing to lose against you."
Xiao Yeheng asked displeasedly, "What are you doing here?"
Wan Niang's enthusiastic tone made her afraid of facing the terrifying Xiao Yeheng, but she replied to Yan Shuixin, "We are here to visit Dr. Yan. We are in the same prison, and we can all be considered neighbors."
Feng Hai took out a half dried piece of cured meat from the bamboo basket he was carrying, weighing about three to four pounds, "It's a small gift to show our respect."
Yan Shuixin frowned, "Where did you get the meat?" With such a shortage of food, since when did these become kind?
"Awang exchanged it for rice." Feng Hai explained.
Xia Chuxue chimed in and said, "As for reciprocity, Lord An and Supervisor Yan are both well-educated people. We will give you two bacon, and you will also have to return some of the grain as a thank-you gift."
Xiao Yeheng smiled coldly, "Stop your wishful thinking. I believe this bacon is made from Zhao Bing's flesh. It's dried over fire, and there's not much left, so you should eat sparingly."
Feng Hai's face changed drastically, and when he saw that he had been exposed, he didn't hide it. "Xiao Yeheng, in the entire prison, only you and Doctor Yan have more food. You have at least 40 to 50 catties of food left. If you don't bring out twenty catties today, then don't blame us for being impolite!"
Bai Jinchuan retracted the fan that was in his hands, and said arrogantly, "King An, if you are sensible, you should immediately take out the grain. Otherwise, once the fight starts, you won't be able to retreat completely. Why don't you think about Yan Shuixin?"
"You dare to threaten me? You truly don't want to live!" Xiao Yeheng condensed his true energy in his hands, and attacked Bai Jinchuan.
Bai Jinchuan jumped to dodge, drew out his sword and slashed towards Xiao Yeheng.
Feng Hai also wielded a long sword and stabbed Xiao Yeheng directly. While Xiao Yeheng picked up the sword prepared in advance, and engaged in fierce battles against the two men.
Xia Chuxue and Wan Niang had already run to one side of the wall to hide.
Yan Shuixin also picked up a sword, ready to help Xiao Yeheng to chop someone.
Xia Chuxue took out a net from the basket in her hand, and together with Wan Niang, they opened it and threw it towards Yan Shuixin.
Yan Shuixin couldn't dodge, so she could only split the big net with the sword. When the net was split in two and torn. She was about to deal with Xia Chuxue and Wan Niang first, but a masked man tapped her acupuncture points from behind.
In the next moment, the masked man picked up Yan Shuixin, flew out, and headed towards the other direction of the prison.
Xiao Yeheng noticed what had happened, his eyes widened, and he cried out in pain, "Xin'er!"
Originally, with his martial arts skills, even if Bai Jinchuan and Feng Hai teamed up, they were not his opponents.
Unfortunately, he was blind in one eye, and although his vision was still good, it was not as good as when he had two eyes.
The loss of a left leg made it a constant burden to move one's hand. Even though he has excellent martial arts skills, but with his disabilities, he's still just slightly better than the two of them.
Seeing Yan Shuixin being snatched away, he unleashed an astonishing amount of internal power from his body. Bai Jinchuan and Feng Hai were shaken back a few steps, both of them were injured and vomited blood.
Xiao Yeheng wanted to chase in the direction where Yan Shuixin was robbed, Wang Mo joined the battle with a sword and shouted, "Kill Xiao Yeheng!"
With the help of a master like Wang Mo, Feng Hai and Bai Jinchuan were immediately encouraged. They held long swords and formed a triangular formation with Wang Mo. The long swords in their hands swung from three directions towards Xiao Yeheng, who was trapped in the middle.
Xiao Yeheng held a long sword and placed it horizontally above his head, blocking the swords from slashing. Using his internal power, he made a leap upwards, leaving a hundred feet off the ground, and broke out of the heavy encirclement. In an instant, he threw three hidden weapons in his hand and shot at the three of them.
"Be careful!" Bai Jinchuan shouted, and together with Wang Mo, he sideways avoided the hidden weapon.
Feng Hai was not so lucky. As he watched the hidden weapon strike directly towards him, Wang Mo threw his long sword and flew in front of Feng Hai. The hidden weapon pierced the blade and got stuck on it, landing together with the long sword.
The three of them realized that the three hidden weapons were actually arrows obtained by Xiao Yeheng and Yan Shuixin previously.
"Brother, thank you for saving my life!" Feng Hai looked at Wang Mo gratefully. Wang Mo didn't really want to save him, but at this moment, Feng Hai couldn't die. The three of them needed to join forces to defeat Xiao Yeheng. If there was one less, they would be the ones who died!
Despite thinking so, what Wang Mo said was, "Between brothers, there's no need to thank each other."
Feng Hai seemed to think of something, and shouted to Xia Chuxue and Wan Niang, who were hiding behind the wall, "Hurry up and destroy Xiao Yeheng's bows and arrows in the room."
"Steal all their food!" Bai Jinchuan also ordered.
Wan Niang and Xia Chuxue were just about to lean out from behind the side wall of the infirmary room, when Xiao Yeheng hit them with a strong aura, and and they quickly retracted behind the wall. The aura hit the wall, creating a five finger mark deeply embedded in the wall.
Xiao Yeheng was not fond of fighting, and his heart was set on saving Yan Shuixin. The three of them once again worked together to deal with Xiao Yeheng.
...
Yan Shuixin was carried by a masked man in black, and flew across the open space of the prison, in the direction of the prison cells.
Taking advantage of Xiao Yeheng's lack of attention, he turned a corner and circled around, unexpectedly hiding in the open space behind the toilet.
On the open ground, there were low trees growing amidst weeds, and Yan Shuixin was placed by a masked man in front of one of the thicker trunks and sat down.
The man in black stood, not very tall, towering down, staring at Yan Shuixin's stunning face with amazement in his eyes.
In this place, Yan Shuixin and Xiao Yeheng had previously chopped bamboo here and picked two or three catties of mulberry fruits. She still remember the two of them holding bowls and eating washed mulberry fruits, saying that they were delicious . At that time, they were so satisfied.
There were still more than ten green fruits on the tree that hadn't been picked. At this moment, the green fruits has ripened.
The masked man turned around and collected ten mulberry berries from the tree. He slightly lifted the mask and ate two of them before turning around to face Yan Shuixin and leaned forward, presenting one to her lips.
Yan Shuixi's acupuncture had been pressed, preventing her from moving, but only her mouth could move.
Just now she saw him pick the fruit without poisoning them, so she obediently ate the eight mulberry fruits he handed over.
But they weren't washed, she didn't know if this would cause her to get diarrhea.
The masked man didn't expect her to be so obedient and eat the fruits, so he nodded in satisfaction.
The sun was shining brightly and the weather was hot.
Yan Shuixin felt chills all over her body, because she saw the lust in the masked man's eyes.
The next moment, the masked man suddenly tore open her lapel, exposing her snow-white shoulders to the air.
Just as he was about to untie her belt, Yan Shuixin suddenly said softly, "Awang, don't do this..."
1
The masked man was taken aback, and looked at her unexpectedly, "How did you know it was me?" He exclaimed, and it was indeed Awang's voice.
She said calmly, "Feng Hai, Wang Mo, Bai Jinchuan, Wan Niang, and Xia Chuxue are all dealing with Xiao Yeheng in the infirmary. There are only a few people in the prison, and only you are not present. Who else can it be besides you?"
Awang simply tore off the cloth covering his face, revealing a shy but young face, "Doctor Yan, I'll let you know it's really me. You are my first woman, and I will be your first man, in this way, we'll always remember each other."
Yan Shuixin felt a little scared in her heart, but her face remained calm, "Awang, you have a pure nature, why do you want to be a villain like this?"
"This prison is corrupt, even a good person can be driven crazy by it!" Awang suddenly became excited, and tears welled up in his eyes, and he cried while saying, "Doctor Yan, did you know? My Lin family is well-off, and I, Lin Wang, is the fifth in my family, and I have four older sisters. Although I am not very wealthy, from childhood to adulthood, my parents loved me the most. But why was I suddenly arrested and imprisoned? I grew up in a good family, but after entering the prison, I was humiliated in every possible way and I had to do everything to survive. I even massaged the shoulders of the prisoner Sheng Ge, but he still robbed my food and made me starve. While the others kicked me from time to time. If I resisted, it would only lead me to a more tragic situation."
"So, I learned to bear with it." Lin Wang's eyes suddenly rose with joy, "I am so happy that Brother Sheng is dead. Those other prisoners who had bullied me have all died as well, I couldn't be more happier."
His tone became low again, "I assumed that those of us who were still alive in the prison would look after each other, after all, we would be able to live in peace." His tone changed, his eyes were full of rage, "Yesterday, after the food of Xia Chuxue, Wan Niang, Feng Hai and Bai Jinchuan was burned. Wan Niang went to accompany Wang Mo for the sake of food. I was in the next room, listening to the noise, and my blood was boiling. Afterwards, Wan Niang entered my room, she said that she would accompany me in exchange for half a catty of food. I couldn't refuse. But, I didn't expect..."
Tears fell from Lin Wang's eyes, and he looked at her in pain, "Doctor Yan, I couldn't do it."
" I couldn't get it up." He cried and laughed, "And then, you know what? Xia Chuxue, Feng Hai and Bai Jinchuan actually came into the room to watch my humiliation. They told me that I wasn't a man! They beat me and pressed my head on the ground, and they stole all my food right in front of me!"
He was lost, "I haven't eaten a single bite since yesterday. I have been so hungry, so I ate the two mulberry fruits just now. But I know I'm going to starve to death soon."
Yan Shuixin kindly suggested, "You know martial arts, so you should be able to resist. I will help you get your food back."
Lin Wang shook his head, "I don't know martial arts. Over the past few days, I have been flattering Bai Jinchuan to the extreme, so that he can teach me how to practice martial arts. I only learned acupuncture points. Neither I nor you are capable of defeating them. "
"Xiao Yeheng can do it." She quickly added another person.
"No." Lin Wang looked at her pitifully, "Doctor Yan, I can see that you really like Xiao Yeheng. I heard Bai Jinchuan and the others discuss last night that they would join forces to kill Xiao Yeheng. I'm afraid your sweetheart is... already dead at this moment."
"No way!" Yan Shuixin became anxious, and her face changed drastically, "Xiao Yeheng will not die, he will definitely not die!"
"Reality is always difficult to accept, isn't it?" Lin Wang stretched out his hands tremblingly to caress her stunning cheeks, his voice was full of fascination, "Doctor Yan, do you know? I have been secretly in love with you for a long time. The women in the prison are all sloppy and dirty. Only you, are intelligent and pure, unparalleled in the world. But I am humble and useless, how dare I covet you in front of the mighty King An? But, King An was ambushed, which gave me the opportunity to rob you."
"You don't have to do this..."
"I want to." Lin Wang leaned over, his face getting closer and closer to her cheek, his eyes were full of excitement, "Doctor Yan, last night I fell into depression after being robbed and feeling incompetent. Today, I hid in the dark and saw that the pimples on your face were completely healed, and you turned out to be so stunning. I finally became aroused!"
The worship-like eyes almost swallowed her, "Before I starve to death, only you can make me a true man."
"I'll give you twenty catties of food!" She immediately opened her mouth to negotiate terms.
Just when he was about to kiss her face, he smiled mockingly, "Do you believe they will leave some food for you? Even if they did, I still think there's nothing more important than getting you."
He put his hands on her body, Yan Shuixin froze, almost crying, and was moved with emotion, "Awang, when I was a handyman, I once handed you a bowl of water. For this reason, I was almost humiliated by Brother Sheng. I was kind to you, so can you repay me back with kindness?"
"I have already repaid my kindness. Those eight mulberry fruits that I fed you just now are my repayment for the kindness you showed me that day. Don't try to sway me with anything, I must have you today."
He quickly took off his clothes and rushed forward.
Yan Shuixin was also learning martial arts from Xiao Yeheng during this time, spending a few hours every day practicing inner skills and mental techniques.
Although the internal strength is weak, its still something.
Lin Wang is also a beginner, and his acupuncture skills are not stable, so she needs some time to open back her acupuncture points.
While stabilizing herself, she repeatedly opened the acupoints with energy several times, but the heat was always lacking, "Awang, don't you want to know who caused you to be imprisoned? If you let me go, then I will tell you." Actually, she didn't know either. All she knew is that he must have offended someone outside, and someone paid money to King Jin's organization to buy his life, and have him arrested.
Lin Wang stretched out his hand and continued to untie her clothes, "I'm going to die anyway, I don't need to know."
"But you can't touch me." Suddenly a stern look appeared in her eyes, "I poisoned my underwear. Xiao Ye Heng had taken the antidote beforehand, so it would be fine for him to touch me. But if outsiders touch me, they will die violently within three hours."
"Whatever, I don't want to live anymore. Being happy for three hours is enough for me." He tore off a part of his sleeve and bundled it into a ball and stuffed it into her mouth, not wanting to listen to her anymore.

Yan Shuixin leaned against the trunk of the tree, closing her eyes as if she no longer resisted.
Lin Wang felt that her position was inconvenient for 'doing business', so he lifted her body up. This action made Yan Shuixin's weak internal force finally break through the acupuncture point that was pressed...
At this moment, on the open space outside the infirmary, Xiao Yeheng was besieged by the three masters. In a blink of an eye, more than a hundred moves have been fought, and all four of them have been injured.
Perhaps because he was too worried about Yan Shuixin, Xiao Yeheng suddenly took out three silver needles tied to the cloth bag from his sleeve pocket and inserted them into the three acupoints on his head. In an instant, his internal strength increased greatly, and his maximum potential burst out.
"Xiao Yeheng, you are crazy, you will be seriously injured if you do this!" Bai Jinchuan's complexion changed, and he quickly dodged back.
The sword in Xiao Yeheng's hand was filled with true energy. Bai Jinchuan, Feng Hai, and Wang Mo all shook back and flew out, vomiting blood and seriously injured.
Since Bai Jinchuan ran a certain distance first, he was the least impacted by the wave of energy, and he was also the one with the least injuries.
The three of them were no longer wanted to fight, so they got up and ran away.
Xiao Yeheng wanted to chase after them, but as soon as he thought of Yan Shuixin, he immediately chased in the direction where the masked man had robbed Yan Shuixin.
He searched the prison all over, but there was no sign of Yan Shuixin.
Those who escaped saw him going east, and they went west to avoid colliding and losing their lives.
Unable to find Yan Shuixin everywhere, Xiao Yeheng let out a deep cry of grief, "Xin'er, where are you!"
"I'm here..." Yan Shuixin's voice was very weak, like a whisper, almost inaudible.
Perhaps it was not far away, but Xiao Yeheng heard it with his powerful internal power, and in the next moment, he flew to the empty space behind the thatched cottage.
Yan Shuixin's clothes were disheveled, her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and there were many bruises on her shoulders, she was weakly leaning against a tree trunk.
Xiao Yeheng's usually cold expression was full of horror and pain, "Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"
He quickly ran to her with his lightness skills, bent down, and raised his hand tremblingly to close her lapel.
Her soiled clothes and bruises on her body are almost certainly the result of men bullying and humiliating her.
After thinking deeply about this, he vomited a mouthful of blood in agony, and a line of clear tears slid from his single eye. He opened his lips and said hoarsely, "Xin'er, it's my fault... I failed to protect you properly."
Yan Shuixin was shocked. Even if his amputated leg rotted and the pain was excruciating, King An, who had never frowned from pain, would actually cry.
His tears were flowing for her.
Her heart was sour, and her eyes were filled with mist, "You once said, only when I die can I be less humiliated. The sweet words you promised are really accurate." She closed her eyes sadly and said, "Now...as smart as you are, how could you not see what had happened?"
How could he not understand, the implication was that she had lost her body, and he suddenly hugged her tightly in his arms, "I won't, I won't!" He roared hoarsely, "Xin'er, I don't care what Awang did to you, I don't care!"
He was clever enough to guess that Awang had taken her. Yan Shuixin was stunned for a moment and tentatively said, "But you said at the beginning that killing me is better than committing suicide after being abused and humiliated. Now, should I kill myself?"
"No, no, no!" Xiao Yeheng kissed her lips fiercely, "Xin'er, even if you are...in my heart, you will always be the purest and best."
Compared to his agitation, she was much calmer, "Don't you care?"
"But I love you more. Even if I care, I hate myself for not being able to protect you." His red eyes were full of sincerity, "Xin'er, this king will not dislike you for losing your virginity, this king will definitely treat you better. If you can live, I will definitely cherish you tenfold or hundredfold..."
She was very satisfied his reaction, but her heart softened and she said, "Then... if I do something wrong, will you forgive me?"
"No matter what you did wrong, I won't care about it." He cried bitterly again.
Yan Shuixin reached out to catch his sparkling tears, and suddenly felt like she played too much, what should she do now? "I, I, I..."
"How are you?" He was deeply afraid of hearing something that would make him more distressed, but she suddenly sat up as if nothing had happened and said, "I did not lose my innocence. Awang tapped my acupuncture points and tried to rape me. In the end, his acupoint skills were lowly, and I used the internal strength you taught me to burst open the acupoints and beat him up. I beat him till he was unrecognizable, and then he ran away."
"Then why are your clothes untidy?" He wondered.
"Before I could move, he ripped my shirt off, exposing my shoulders, and that's all that happened." She avoided telling him that Awang even touched her, "Then, I beat him away, tucked up my shirt, but when I remembered how you wanted to kill me before, I immediately tore off my clothes and pretended to be bullied, to test your reaction."
She whispered, "When I was fine, you were afraid that I would be humiliated, so you wanted to kill me. But now that you thought that something had happened to me...you treat me so well. A man's heart is really hard to understand."
He was startled for a moment, and then ecstasy appeared in his eyes, "Xin'er, you're fine, that's great! But the bruise on your shoulder..."
"When I attacked Awang, he also beat me, and I was injured by him." She said.
He hugged her heavily, feeling relieved, and he murmured , "It's good that you are fine. If something happens to you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Actually, I didn't really want to kill you that time. I just feel inferior, not only am I afraid that I won't be able to protect you, but I'm even more afraid that you will leave me one day in the future."
"I won't." She opened her lips, "Don't you blame me for lying to you just now?"
He held her tightly around her slender waist and refused to let go, "Of course, you dare to play tricks on me, how can I spare you?"
She was not afraid of his threat at all, she leaned her head on his thick shoulder, and said muffledly, "You said it yourself, no matter what I do, you won't blame me for anything."
He choked, and raised his hand to caress her long black hair on her back, "I don't blame you for lying, but you made me worry, so you should be punished!" He raised his palm high and landed on her buttocks, but light as if caressing.
"Husband, don't be angry, I'll make it up to you."
He stared at her beautiful face pretending to be sullen, "How are you going to compensate?"
"I'm already done with my period,"she whispered in his ear. "How about serving you well on the bed?"
His half-damaged and half-handsome face turned slightly red, "Let's see how you behave."
Suddenly thinking of the injury on her shoulder, he lifted her lapel and stared at the bruises on her snow-white skin, with guilt in his eyes, "It's my incompetence that caused you..."
"Don't say that." She touched his lips with her finger, "Awang tapped my acupoints while I was not prepared, If it weren't for the internal strength you taught me, I wouldn't have been able to break free at all, and something would have really happened. Strictly speaking, it's all thanks to you that I escaped."
"Xin'er, you are really good at making excuses for me."
"I'm telling the truth."
He swore angrily, "This king will definitely tear Awang's body into pieces!"
She didn't plead for Awang either, only looked at him with concern. She couldn't tell anything from his appearance, so she peeled off his clothes and inspected him.
But she found a palm print embedded on his chest, "My lord, you are injured."
"The three people who besieged me were also seriously injured." He had just explained, when he suddenly vomited a big mouthful of blood.
Yan Shuixin hurriedly helped him feel his pulse, and turned pale with shock, "My God, your true energy is going backwards, and your organs have been severely injured. Did you use some method to stimulate your potential?"
He leaned weakly against her, "There are three silver needles on the top of my head."
She asked him to lean against the tree trunk, brushed the hair on the top of his head, and took out the three silver needles one by one.
His face was as pale as paper, with no blood left. She immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket, poured two pills into his mouth, and said, "Husband, you must take the medicine quickly. This is the healing medicine I have researched myself. It can be taken orally for internal injuries, and the pills can also be mashed into paste for external application."
He even had difficulties to move his lips, and his organs felt like they were burning. Before he could put the medicine into his mouth, he fainted.
"My lord!" Yan Shuixin was so scared that her face turned pale, she quickly took the pill into her mouth, and pressed her lips against his, and gave him the medicine.
She pushed the medicine down his throat with her tongue, forcing him to swallow the medicine.
Just as she was about to back away, he suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist, entangled with her lips and tongue.
"You..." Yan Shuixin backed away with wide eyes, "You pretended to be unconscious!"
"Does it feel good to be tricked?" He asked leisurely.
She said angrily, "I was dying of anxiety, my heart almost stopped."
"Now that you put yourself in the king's shoes, do you understand how I felt just now?"
"Hmph." She pretended to ignore him. But it is true that he was seriously injured.
He sat cross-legged, mobilized his internal energy to make the medicine evaporate, and the pain in his organs was reduced, "Xin'er, the medicine you developed has a miraculous effect."
"Of course, I'm a genius doctor." She snorted.
A smelly wind blew over again, since the place was hidden behind the toilet. This place is not suitable for him to recuperate, she said, "Xiao Yeheng, let's find another place. Can you still stand up?"
He struggled to pull himself up and leaned some of his body weight against her, before being helped around the toilet.
"Xin'er, Bai Jinchuan and others also know that this king is seriously injured, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to show up." He was a little worried, "Maybe they will take this opportunity to find this king and take my life."
"I will protect you " She said firmly, "The scope of the prison is not big, but it's not small either. Even if they come looking for us, they might not be able to find us." Yan Shuixin thought for a while, "Let's go back to the infirmary. I'm really worried about our food."
He gave her a sideways glance filled with emotion. He only heard the first sentence clearly. She said she would protect him. Although he didn't quite believe it, his heart is warm.
The two of them walked to the open space in front of the prison guard's residence. Bai Jinchuan, Wang Mo and Feng Hai suddenly ran out from around the corner, brandishing swords in their hands, blocking their way.
Xiao Yeheng was originally hanging on Yan Shuixin, but before the three of them appeared, he immediately stood up and straightened his back.
Bai Jinchuan scoffed, "King An, are you still alive?"
"Even if you die, the king will not die." Xiao Yeheng's expression was as cold as frost, and he stood with his hands on his back, as if he had not been injured at all, with a fierce demeanor.
"Let's kill him together!" Wang Mo suggested.
Feng Hai said, "However, we were also injured. He seems to be fine. What if he can't be beaten..."
"He must be seriously injured if he uses silver needles. It's just a matter of showing off." Wang Mo looked at Xiao Yeheng carefully, "If we don't take action now, we won't have a chance when he recovers!"
Xiao Yeheng couldn't help admiring Wang Mo's eyesight, but he sneered, "You can give it a try, see if this king won't kill you. If I have to protect Xin'er, this king will do it."
He has severe pain in his internal organs, and his true energy is flowing backwards. He cannot use force at all. If he forcibly uses his martial arts skills, he may immediately vomit blood and die.
Yan Shuixin said with a sneer, "It's just a retrograde injection. In the eyes of this genius doctor, it's nothing worth mentioning. Think about it, when the wound on his left leg rotted, I cured him without medicine. He's completely fine now, and if you want to die, I'll welcome it."
Feng Hai and the others hesitated after hearing this.
Yan Shuixin saw Xia Chuxue hiding behind the window of one of the prison guards' dormitories. All the windows in the main wing of the prison are the same height. Xia Chuxue's height was the same as that of the black shadow, who appeared outside the window last night and pretending to be Feng Hai. She suddenly understood, "When snipes and clams compete, the fisherman benefits."
"What did you say?" Feng Hai didn't understand.
Bai Jinchuan and Wang Mo didn't show any surprise, they seemed to understand what Yan Shuixin said.
Yan Shuixin asked Feng Hai, "Did you go outside my bedroom last night in the middle of the night?"
"I was in Wan Niang's bed last night, how could I have time?"
Yan Shuixin thought for a moment, "That's right. Last night, someone stole your shoes and impersonated you to assassinate Xiao Yeheng, hoping to use his hand to kill you. Fortunately, Xiao Yeheng was not fooled."
"That's right, when I woke up early in the morning, my shoes were gone, so I found a pair of guard's shoes to wear."Feng Hai suddenly said, "Doctor Yan, who do you think is pretending to be me?"
"Come out." Yan Shuixin pointed to one of the rooms in the prison guard's dormitory, "Since Miss Xia dares to do it, why don't she dare to admit it?"
Xia Chuxue walked out from behind the door of the dormitory in a charming manner, changing her previous cowardly appearance, "Yan Shuixin, you are really smart. I hid so deeply and you discovered it?"
Yan Shuixin admired Xia Chuxue a little bit, "You are a ruthless character. King An chopped up one of your fingers, but you still didn't reveal your secrets. You pretend to be an idiot every day, but in fact you want to kill everyone in the prison secretly, am I right?"
Xia Chuxue raised her eyebrows and said, "How do you know that?"
"Because you burned Bai Jinchuan's, Feng Hai's, and Wan Niang's food, as well as your own." It was Xiao Yeheng who spoke, "If it weren't for this, the food in the prison would still be enough, so how could there be chaos? Only when there is chaos, will people die."
"Xia Chuxue, did you really do the arson?" Feng Hai was furious, "But you said it was Zhao Bing who did it, and your knees were bruised because of him. Burning your own food, are you sick?"
"Before Zhao Bing's food was divided up by you, wasn't there eight catties missing for no reason?" Yan Shuixin pointed out, "What she secretly hid is enough for her to eat for ten days."
"Hahaha. Doctor Yan is indeed smart." Xia Chuxue didn't hide it, "Only by burning my own food and bruising my knees was I able to win the trust of you idiots!" Looking around, "Unfortunately, I couldn't fool King An and Yan Shuixin. His Royal Highness, King Jin said that as long as I kill all of you, I will be the noble Princess Jin!"
"You..." Wang Mo suddenly said, "Are you the assassin who scattered the poison that killed more than a hundred people in one night?"
Xia Chuxue disapproved, and pointed at Bai Jinchuan, "He is a lackey under King Jin, who's deeply trusted by him. He has been trained to enter the prison, and he needs to kill more people than me. I just scattered the Qihuan poison when the prisoners were released to get fresh air. When the poison took effect, Young Master Bai was wearing night clothes, and flew like a shadow, opened the cell doors, and threw swords into each cell. Only weapons can cause so much damage, and practically everyone in the prison died because of it."
Xia Chuxue smiled and winked at Bai Jinchuan, "Master Bai, I have been exposed, so I can't go down by myself. Let's kill everyone together!"
Bai Jinchuan looked furious, "You slut, you actually dare to expose me!"
"You dared to sneak into the fifty-ninth cell in the middle of the night, trying to assassinate King An, so why don't you dare to admit it?" Xia Chuxue began to smile, and suddenly her face changed, "Who are you calling a slut? I am the future Princess Jin. Since you have taken King Jin's side, you have to respect me, the future Princess Jin."
"You want to marry King Jin? Stop dreaming. You should go and look at yourself in the mirror... Hahaha!" Bai Jinchuan burst into a wild laugh.
Xia Chuxue didn't react impulsively as usual, "Bai Jinchuan, I know that when you dealt with King An earlier, you let Wang Mo and Feng Hai rush to the front, while you were wise enough to protect yourself, and only suffered minor injuries. Don't talk nonsense, let's join forces first, and kill everyone else in the prison!"
"Good idea!" Bai Jinchuan put away his folding fan and drew out his sword.
1
The seriously injured Wang Mo and Feng Hai took a step back and said one after another, "You guys used me!"
The mystery was half cleared, and Yan Shuixin still couldn't figure out why Wang Mo didn't want to expose the arson caused by Xia Chuxue. Wang Mo must also have some ill intentions.
At present, Yan Shuixin had no choice but to speak up and say, "Feng Hai, and Wang Mo, you guys were easily tricked by those two bastards, your brains are really made of shit!"
The two immediately drew their swords at Bai Jinchuan and Xia Chuxue.
Xia Chuxue suddenly pulled out a soft sword from her waist, channeled her true energy to make the soft sword become straight and sharp. She walked between the blades of Wang Mo and Feng Hai.
Bai Jinchuan was only slightly injured, Xia Chuxue's martial arts were mediocre. While Feng Hai and Wang Mo, two experts, were seriously injured.
For a brief while, the latter two were unable to defeat the earlier two.
Xiao Yeheng slid two arrows from his sleeve pockets, just about to condense his true energy and shoot them out.
Yan Shuixin held his palm, shook her head silently at him, and snatched the two cold iron arrows from his hand.
She took the arrow from the arrow she got and used it as a hidden weapon for him.
He cannot use his martial arts at this time, otherwise his qi and blood will go backwards, he will suffer more serious injuries, and he will die.
But she could do it instead.
Yan Shuixin is a novice martial artist with poor and shallow internal skills. Fortunately, she has learned judo and taekwondo before time travel, and her skills are good.
She had no ability to shoot two arrows at the same time, towards Bai Jinchuan. With her superficial internal strength and eyesight, an arrow flew out of her hand and hit Bai Jinchuan's neck
She intended to kill him with one hit.
However, her skill was not strong enough, the arrow was embedded in Bai Jinchuan's neck, but not deep enough and and the main artery was not pierced. Bai Jinchuan was severely injured but did not die, and his murderous rage shot at her.
As long as he dared to rush over, Xiao Yeheng was ready to kill him with his true energy regardless of everything.
Bai Jinchuan was afraid of Xiao Yeheng, so he covered his neck, and ran away once he contemplated the disadvantages.
Yan Shuixin hit Xia Chuxue with the second arrow, she swayed and dodged it, but she was nevertheless hit in the shoulder.
Xia Chuxue rubbed her injured shoulder, "Yan Shuixin, you are secretly plotting on the side, what kind of a good person are you?"
Yan Shuixin glanced in the direction of the infirmary, only to see flames and thick smokes coming from their kitchen, "You burned the pharmacy and my food, shouldn't you be the one who's considered a villain?"
"Hehehe..." Xia Chuxue suddenly laughed treacherously, "Yan Shuixin, I know you put poison on the food beforehand, so I didn't take the opportunity to steal your food. I destroyed your and Xiao Yeheng's food to starve you to death. I also burned the medicine in the infirmary, so let's see how King An's serious injury will be treated now."
"We're just waiting to collect your corpses." Bai Jinchuan and Xia Chuxue exchanged glances, and they both fled away, not knowing where they went.
Feng Hai was seriously injured and fell to the ground, he weakly said, "Doctor Yan, I shouldn't have dealt with King An just to grab food. Please help me."
Wang Mo also held his chest and said painfully, "Doctor Yan, give me some wound medicine."
Yan Shuixin only has a porcelain bottle of medicine in her possession, which is reserved for Xiao Yeheng, and it is impossible to take it out, "The medicine is gone, but..." She turned around, "In order to relieve your pain, I can send you on your way."
She drew out the sword worn by King An at his waist, and prepared to chop the two of them.
Wang Mo underestimated Yan Shuixin, this woman actually has some internal skills. After thinking about it for a while, he took Feng Hai with him, jumped up a few times, and they were already ten feet away.
They are all experts!
Yan Shuixin's face was very ugly, and she walked back to Xiao Yeheng, "My lord, you need to get well soon, only you can defeat them."
"We can't let them ambush us again." Xiao Yeheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Even if the king recovers from his wounds, we must divide these four people into two factions and kill them."
"Let's find something." Yan Shuixin helped him to the open space outside the medical office. The medicine room and kitchen were already burning fiercely, but the wing room in the middle was not yet burned. It seemed that neither the food in the kitchen nor the medicine in the pharmacy could be rescued.
Yan Shuixin told Xiao Yeheng to stand still, "My lord, wait, I'll get something." She walked quickly to the wing room,
She pushed the door open, and pulled out a tiny bundle from under the bed. Yan Shuixin took out the half-finished bamboo vest and needlework, and ran back immediately.
The fire had already spread towards the wing from both sides, the wooden beams were all on fire, and the roof would collapse at any moment.
Just as she turned around, she saw Xiao Yeheng standing behind her. She asked in surprise, "My lord, why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to wait outside."
"If we want to live, we must face danger together." He took her little hand and ran outside.
As soon as the two of them stepped out to the open space, there was a loud bang, and the burning medical room behind them collapsed!
The blazing fire surged forward, and Xiao Yeheng quickly blocked Yan Shuixin with his body to prevent her from being affected by the fire waves.
After running a little further, Yan Shuixin stopped when they reached a safe place. Only to find that part of Xiao Yeheng's hair had been scorched, and looking at his back, it was scorched by dots of flames.
Thinking about the fact that he deliberately ran behind her just now, was he afraid that the fire would burn her, right?
Yan Shuixin was immediately moved and patted his back lightly, anxiously saying, "My lord, are you okay?"
"No problem," he shook his head and stared at her eager and caring little figure, feeling as if he had eaten honey in his heart.
She blamed herself a bit and said, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have gone into the wing room."
"Aren't I okay?" Xiao Yeheng didn't take it seriously, "Besides, you must have your reasons for venturing into the wing room."
After confirming again and again that his hair and clothes were only splashed by the sparks, and that the sparks were too small and automatically extinguished, she felt a little relieved that he was fine. Holding the important baggage and bamboo vest in her arms, she looked around, "The infirmary room is on fire, and the prison is too dark, which is not conducive to recuperating. Xia Chuxue and the others are at the jailer's dormitory. If they see that you are temporarily unable to use force, they will most likely attack you again, so it's not safe. Let's live in... the guard's duty room in the prison."
She slightly smiled, "Back then, that's where I stole some melon seeds for you to eat."
Xiao Yeheng looked at her forced smile, and thought about all the firewood and food that was burned. There was no need to guess, he knew she was very sad, but she was never sad in front of him.
Just like him, his fourth brother, Xiao Chengyu, gouged and mutilated him, and his foster mother, the Empress Dowager, cut his left leg. When he mentioned it, he was neither sad nor happy, as if he was narrating someone else's story.
Sometimes, when sorrow reaches a certain level, it becomes numb.
"Xin'er decides where to live, so it's up to you." Xiao Yeheng supported his body, enduring the severe pain in his internal organs, and walked with her to the jailer's duty room.
He wanted to help her carry the bamboo vest and her bag, but he was seriously injured and trying keep himself from passing out. He had already exhausted his utmost mental strength, and he was really unable to help her carry things anymore.
There are two large tables, four chairs, and a connected living room in the hall of the prison guard's duty room. There is a bed inside, which used to be utilized by the prison guard for rest.
Yan Shuixin helped Xiao Yeheng to the bed in the adjacent room and assisted him in lying down.
Xiao Yeheng couldn't hold on any longer, and passed out as soon as he touched the bed.
Yan Shuixin was so frightened that she quickly stretched out her hand to check his breath. After making sure he didn't die, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave him two pills, and put the bamboo vest and the small bag beside him.
She hid behind the main entrance of the prison, and looked in the direction of the jailer's dormitory.
The communal kitchen is next to the jailer's dormitory, and the only water source in the prison is in the backyard of the communal kitchen.
Without water, you will die of thirst.
Yan Shuixin thought for a while, she had to take the risk to fetch some drinking water. But, Xiao Yeheng was seriously injured and unconscious, it was not safe to leave him alone.
She needs to set up a mechanism.
But where is the tool for setting up a mechanism?
So she went to the torture and interrogation room next to the duty room.
Inside there was a long-extinguished brazier with a branding iron specially used for branding prisoners, a wooden frame for prisoners, several long knives, a bundle of rope, and shackles.
A bag of carbon was placed in the corner, and everything else was gone.
She tied the rope to the knife's handle, draped it over the beam above the jail door, hid another behind the door, then crossed the rope to the door frame with a stone pressed one end. She made several visible traps.
The other knives are also skillfully placed across the prison passage, and as long as someone enters and accidentally steps on the rope, the knives will fall down.
The purpose of doing this is mainly to deter, lest other people come and attack while she is not around.
After finishing these things, she carefully stepped out of the prison and secretly headed towards the courtyard.
As soon as she went far away, Awang walked out of the dark and wanted to go to prison. After seeing the trap, he hesitated for a moment before following behind Yan Shuixin.
Yan Shuixin passed the jailer's dormitory, and suddenly heard a familiar voice from one of the wing rooms on the first floor. She quietly climbed up to the second floor and lay on the ground, and looked for a clue to peek down.
The sound insulation is not good, the conversation below can be heard clearly.
In the wing downstairs, Xia Chuxue was extremely angry, "Those two idiots, King An and Yan Shuixin, ran back to the infirmary room under such a fire. Why did they come out one step earlier? If they were later, they would be buried in the sea of flames."
Bai Jinchuan was thoughtful, "Tell me, what is in the small bag that Yan Shuixin took out from the fire?"
"I can't see through things, so how would I know?"
Bai Jinchuan said again, "She also hugged a pile of bamboo, Are those scraps worthy of her risky rescue?"
"I saw it before when I entered the infirmary room, and it was a bamboo cloth made of several large pieces of bamboo, probably used to make mats, so I didn't touch those scraps at the time." Xia Chuxue sneered as she said, "If I had known she would take a such big risk to save those bamboo pieces, I would have burned them first."
"They will die sooner or later. When they are too hungry and have no energy left, we will sneak attack. "Bai Jinchuan pondered, "When did this young master compete with you to kill people, you're so full of nonsense. Besides, before you and me, the killings had nothing to do with us at all, as if we were a part of the same group like others."
Xia Chuxue smiled meekly , "Didn't I just ask for a helper, and I was afraid that you would refuse."
"When did you know that I was sent by the King Jin to practice? "Bai Jinchuan seemed not to have figured it out, "I remember that I didn't show any mistakes."
"When you killed Zheng Quan and accused him of being the killer, I suspected you." A gleam flashed in Xia Chuxue's eyes, "You deliberately said that the killer is dead, just to relax everyone's vigilance and kill everyone one by one. "
"King Jin really didn't love you for nothing, you are a bit mindful." Bai Jinchuan didn't pretend to be confused, "The fact that you, slept with thousands of people, do you really think you can become Princess Jin when you go out?"
Xia Chuxue laughed viciously, and said sharply, "When you are all dead, I will go out and cure my venereal disease. Then who would have known that I was in prison like this? Don't forget, some things are in my hands."
Bai Jinchuan suddenly realized, "So that person is you."
Xia Chuxue raised her hand to caress Bai Jinchuan's handsome face, and spoke softly, "Young Master Bai, you are so cruel. Back then, we secretly communicated with each other outside the prison. The rules of this deadly prison, you had already grasped it, but you didn't tell me. You are really ruthless."
"Didn't you find out halfway?" He wrapped his arms around her waist, not afraid of her dirty disease, and reached into her clothes with the other
For the first time, a sadness appeared in her eyes, "Actually, my first time was given to King Jin. Later, when he caught me having an affair with you, he cruelly put me in this death row. He told me to fend for myself in this prison, so I was depressed for a while, and had sex with so many guards for a better life. Qihuan poison and a soft sword were the only presents that King Jin gave me. I thought neither of these things was useful, but then I learned the rules of this deadly prison from the cell leader Sun Cheng before the prisoners were released. That's when I realized that the poison given to me by King Jin was useful. I used it on them on the day of the release. After waiting for three days, the inmates became poisoned, and you helped me give them knives to kill a group of prisoners and guards. Do you think the credit for these hundreds of lives is yours or mine?"
"What do you think?" Bai Jinchuan lifted her chin with one hand. If this had been previously, he would have kissed her by now. But now, this bitch has a dirty disease, unfortunately, she cannot be touched.
"Master Bai, I can't forget that you knew the rules in the prison early on, and you kept it from me." Xia Chuxue raised her hand and was about to slap him.
Bai Jinchuan clasped her wrist quickly to prevent her from hitting him, "Bitch, can you hit this young master's face?"
Crack! With a sound, Bai Jinchuan slapped Xia Chuxue backhandedly, "I have always devoted myself to the King Jin, so how could I have been brought to this ghostly place and with no escape? It turns out that I got into this trouble because I slept with you."
"You!" Xia Chuxue glared at him fiercely, "I was thrown in because of you!"
"The only way to survive now is to become the final winner." Bai Jinchuan stared at her coldly, "Miss Xia, this young master has always been affectionate, and I still feel pity for you. It's only because the rules are cruel this time, so don't blame me for not recognizing you when I lift my trousers."
"Then I won't recognize you for now." Xia Chuxue looked at his neck, which was wrapped with a bandage to stop the bleeding, "You were injured, and I stole a pack of Jinchuang medicine before setting fire to the infirmary. This medicine was formulated by the former doctor, Doctor Huang, and it can be taken internally to heal injuries, but I haven't used it yet. The medicine is for my own use, and I won't give it to you."
Touching it in her arms, her expression changed drastically, "Where's my medicine?"
Bai Jinchuan picked up a pack of medicine with his fingertips and said, "Are you talking about this? Hahaha... Do you think this young master will still hug you, a person with dirty disease? Just now, I only hugged you to steal the medicine from you."
Xia Chuxue went over to grab it, but he spun around and leaned gracefully against the window. "You have low martial arts skills and can't get it, so why waste your effort?"
Suddenly, a figure flew down from the beam and came out of the window, and the medicine bag in Bai Jinchuan's hand was gone. Upon closer inspection, Wang Mo stood in the open space outside holding the medicine bag, muttering to himself, "After eavesdropping for so long, I finally got useful medicine." He cupped his hands towards Bai Jinchuan, "Thank you!"
"Wang Mo!" Bai Jinchuan gritted his teeth angrily.
"Haha." Xia Chuxue glanced at Bai Jinchuan sarcastically, "Who told you to grab my medicine, now both of us are useless." Fortunately, the medicine powder had already been sprinkled on her shoulder injury.
Feng Hai stood beside Wang Mo and drew his knife, "Everyone has been injured, is Master Bai going to fight now?"
The two sides were deadlocked.
Awang followed behind Yan Shuixin, but she walked fast. After seeing no one, he saw Wan Niang eavesdropping in a wing room, and he did the same.
Seeing that Bai Jinchuan and others were fighting, he and Wan Niang ran away quickly.
The sound of footsteps echoed on the second floor, and soon Yan Shuixin's figure bypassed these people from afar and ran towards the direction of the prison.
Obviously, Yan Shuixin was lying on the second floor and eavesdropping just now.
"It seems that everyone knows about the rules of survival in the prison." Bai Jinchuan glanced at the back of Yan Shuixin running away.
