Chapter 95: Rain falls, rouge tears fall, pear blossoms play with begonias (19)
Xiao He narrowed his eyes when he saw the struggling man and sneered: "You can try not to listen to me, but don't you feel bad that Song Ci will be punished for you?"
The anger in Dong Qi's eyes disappeared instantly when he looked at Xiao He, like a dog with its claws broken off: "Don't hurt Ci Ci, I am obedient."
Xiao He raised the corners of his lips, with a smile that did not reach his eyes. He waved his hand and asked the guards to take the man away. He looked at the man's back and spat out three words with his thin lips: "It's so disgusting..."
Those sharp eyes filled with black energy strode into the south courtyard and pushed open the door.
The door hit the wall and made a muffled sound instantly.
Song Ci sat on the chair with a calm expression, and sighed silently in her heart when she saw Xiao He like this.
It seems that they still ran into each other...
Xiao He stretched out his hand and grabbed Song Ci's collar. He was a little taller than Song Ci, and Song Ci was weak and light, so he could easily lift her up.
"Song Ci, you are such a bitch. First you hooked up with Ye Xinyue to no avail, and then you hooked up with the servants of the palace and worked hard for you. You did so much in order to leave the palace, and you are really good!"
The sound of Xiao He's gnashing of teeth reached his ears, and Song Ci's face turned cold: "It doesn't matter what you say to me, Xiao He. Please don't involve others."
Xiao He thought that Duan Youwen had been asking him about Song Ci's information intentionally or unintentionally in the past few days, so he let go of his hand and rubbed his eyebrows irritably.
I shouldn't have taken him out in the first place. It was fun, but my things were being watched by others, especially when that person was my friend.
A smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his lips, and his eyes flashed: "Song Ci, am I hurting you too much lately?"
Song Ci looked a little surprised and didn't understand what he was talking about: "What do you mean?"
Xiao He pulled the person over and asked him to sit next to him: "I know you want to go out. As long as you are obedient, I will take you out to play."
Song Ci's heart moved, showing a moment of embarrassment that made people think deeply.
Xiao He narrowed his eyes when he saw his performance, took out a small bottle of medicine from his sleeve, and raised his hand.
Song Ci stiffly wanted to withdraw his hand.
"Don't move." Xiao He clasped her wrist firmly and continued: "You have suffered so many injuries. I will give you medicine to heal quickly."
The ointment was spread on the fingertips and evenly applied on the bruises on the boy's arms. It felt cool and not painful.
Regarding the routine of giving a sweet date a slap in the face, he showed a very applicable attitude and tilted his head and stared at Xiao He.
Song Ci suddenly blinked his eyes and let out a pained cry on purpose: "Hiss——"
Xiao He had noticed his appearance a long time ago. There was only endless black mist in his eyes hidden under the concern, and his voice was coaxing: "It hurts? I'll be gentle."
He applied ointment to the scar on his arm and reached out to untie her clothes. The young man behaved completely differently from before and was extremely nervous: "What are you doing!"
Song Ci trembled and took a step back. He accidentally touched a stool and fell to the ground. As if thinking of the scene downstairs that day, his voice trembled violently: "Don't come over here!"
Xiao He curled his lips silently, narrowed his eyes, and helped the panic-stricken boy who fell to the ground: "Don't touch you, be obedient, I will give you medicine."
"Are you afraid? Don't be afraid. I will protect you."
"Have you forgotten? My beloved jade pendant was broken to pieces because of you."
"Don't you know? There are still those servants who come to bully you, and I drove them away."
The hot breath hit her ears. Song Ci trembled and seemed to believe it. There was a hint of emotion in her cold eyes.
She raised her head and met his eyes: "I..."
Xiao He looked forward to his next words, and the corners of his lips kept rising.
The young man closed his mouth again and said nothing.
Xiao He also knew that it was not yet time, so he pretended to sigh, "You will understand eventually."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Song Ci looked at Xiao He's leaving figure, pursed her lips, and her beautiful eyes shone with a strange light.
Early in the morning, Song Ci was taken out by the leading maid. She pointed at the weeds in Xiyuan and said, "Before dark, you have to remove all these weeds and water the flowers next to them."
Song Ci looked at the huge Xiyuan, a large piece of grassland, and he had to finish the work that took five servants two days to complete tonight.
The servants who can instruct the palace are not only the old butler but also the young prince. You don't need to think about it to know whose masterpiece it is. He just pretends to be stupid and doesn't know what he is doing.
The maid deliberately didn't give him the tool, so Song Ci could only reach out and pull it out. The scorching sun made his forehead covered with big beads of sweat, and his face became paler.
The sharp grass blades scratched the originally white and tender palms with scars, and the grass juice dyed the palms a dark yellow-green color.
When the sun went down, Song Cicai had taken care of one-tenth of the area. The maid came over to check at night and saw that there was still so much grass that had not been removed.
With eyes wide open in anger, the eldest maid was a woman in her forties who had been working in the palace for the longest time. She had long and strong limbs and could easily lift the young man out of the soil.
"What's wrong with you! Why are there so many tasks left for you to do? You're lazy!"
Song Ci stood up from the ground, looked at the angry maid, and defended herself: "I'm not lazy, I can't do this alone."
"How dare you quibble!"
The eldest maid slapped the young man on the face.
Song Ci's cheek was suddenly hit and it hurt, and clear five-fingerprints immediately appeared on the fair side of her face, which showed that the woman's attack was heavy.
"Keep plucking it for me. You won't be allowed to eat until you finish hoeing!"
After saying that, the maid twisted her waist and left.
Song Ci looked at her back, the tip of his tongue touched the numb cheek flesh, and there was a flash of dark light in his lowered eyes.
Under the moonlight, the figure of the young man bent in the soil was left alone.
Occasionally, I raised my sleeves to wipe my sweat with the back of my hand. My long sleeves slid down, revealing my fair and slender arms, with a few red marks scratched by grass blades.
Xiao He stood on the attic, using the moonlight without turning on the light to see the young man in the courtyard clearly. He sat on a chair and leisurely accepted the tea handed over by the guard next to him.
"Is that Dong Qi dead?"
The guard said: "No, the man spent the night peacefully in the cage."
Xiao He touched the tea edge with his finger and said, "Did you feed it yesterday?"
This does not refer to the man Dong Qi, but to the young prince’s pet cat Ahua.
The guard in black hesitated for a while and continued: "... Hello."
Xiao He frowned and slapped the cup in his hand on the table. Half of the tea in it spilled on the table and a few drops splashed on his fingers. His eyes were sharp and sinister.
"You are not allowed to feed Ahua from tomorrow on."
"Yes, little prince!"
The guard received the order and when he saw Xiao He waving his hand, he immediately backed away.
"The moon is so bright tonight~"
Xiao He narrowed his eyes lazily and smiled mockingly. He lay on the railing and looked at the young man leaning over the grass. He suddenly stood up and did not move for a while.
"Snake——!~"
Hearing this weak scream, Xiao He's narrowed eyes instantly opened and he quickly went downstairs.
The attic is not far from Xiyuan, but the terrain of the palace is complicated, and it takes about ten minutes to get there even if you have to take a small road.
Xiao He climbed over the wall directly, and when he waited, he saw the young man lying on the ground, seemingly dying.
Xiao He shook his shoulders: "Song Ci, how are you?"
Song Ci vaguely heard someone calling him. There was only a white shadow in front of him and nothing could be seen. The fingers hanging by his side moved.
Xiao He saw the pair of round holes on his forearms with a serious look on his face, and immediately carried Song Ci out. When he saw the little maid passing by, he shouted: "Go and call the doctor!"
"Oh ok!"
The little maid was so frightened that she immediately nodded and ran out. She even fell down and continued running with tears in her eyes.
Xiao He looked at the weak young man on the bed, looking sickly and dying, as if he was about to fly away at any moment.
He seemed to hear the boy's muffled voice and hurriedly poured water for him to drink.
"What did you just say?"
