    82. Zhu Yin's Blood to Repay Grace

    After Deacon Qiu said his apology, with a clear and brief sound of breaking the wind, the whip was decisively and mercilessly slapped on Li Han's back, but his clothes were not torn at all.

    At the same time, another shadow guard from the Criminal Division next to Deacon Qiu read aloud:

    "one!"

    …………

    "two!"

    …………

    Counting the whips down in a blink of an eye, Li Han half-closed his eyelids slightly, his body still motionless, and he didn't seem to notice the heavy whip whipped around his body.

    Pei Nianyu looked at Li Han's silent expression, but couldn't help but follow closely in his heart.

    In addition to his heartache for Li Han, it was more of a sudden thought—a few months ago, Lou Yefeng was mistaken by He Qi for endangering his master in order to save him, did he have to be treated like this every day...?

    Pei Nianyu looked at Lou Yefeng who was standing silently beside him, and suddenly reached out and gently grabbed his palm.

    Lou Yefeng turned his head to look at his master, but he saw an unexplained look of pity in the master's eyes, and he didn't understand why.So he took advantage of the situation and walked to the master's side, gently kneading the master's shoulders.

    Unexpectedly, in the next second, Pei Nianyu suddenly revealed a fierce look, and turned to look at He Qi on the other side:

    "What are you doing here, don't watch Li Han's excitement!"

    He Qi: "..."

    "Not leaving yet!"

    He Qi: "..."

    I'm going, can't I go!

    He Qi was really stupefied, why did he get a kick out of his master inexplicably?He had no choice but to leave Hanqiu Pavilion with his lightness skills, and Pei Nianyu felt at ease now.

    In the middle of the execution, Deacon Qiu did not know what ingenuity he used to keep Li Han's clothes from being damaged.And Li Han stuck there like a piece of wood without feeling, completely motionless from beginning to end.

    Only the more and more sweat oozing from the forehead and the gradually clenched fingers hidden in the sleeves proved the pain the owner of the body was experiencing.

    The internal organs were gradually twisted into a ball, and with the fall of the whip, they convulsed one after another.Li Han just pretended to be innocent, trying his best not to let His Royal Highness King Yu see the slightest clue.

    He knew His Royal Highness Yu Wang was benevolent, and he also knew the purpose of the master sending him to this mansion.But he... doesn't want to owe His Highness King Yu any more love.

    Pei Nianyu didn't have the heart to look at Li Han too much, and he felt that if he stared at him, it would make Li Han feel humiliated, so he might as well pretend not to see it.However, Lou Yefeng saw all these things in his eyes, had a guess in his heart, and couldn't help sighing silently.

    How could the shadow guard's regulations be so easy to take advantage of loopholes? Did the owner think that the damage could be mitigated by not taking off his clothes? Then this wishful thinking may be in vain.

    Then after this, the injured Li Han will have to "think about his mistakes" in the palace for ten days, I am afraid that the master will definitely pay more attention... Forget it, he just needs to share his worries for the master.As for the others, don't think too much about it.

    Lou Yefeng said to himself in his heart.

    As the number of executions reached one hundred, the execution was completed in a blink of an eye.

    Deacon Qiu put away the whip, saluted Pei Nianyu, and returned to the palace with another person, leaving only Li Han kneeling on the ground.

    Pei Nianyu looked at him, and seemed to have no intention of getting up, so he stretched out a hand and said:

    "Can you still get up?"

    Li Han looked up at Pei Nianyu, he didn't know what he thought of, his face was a bit unsightly, and he still had that unhappy face, he shook his head and said:

    "Don't bother Your Highness King Yu, I can stand up by myself. It's just that my legs are numb after kneeling for a long time."

    After hearing this, Lou Yefeng raised his eyes to look at Li Han.Li Han, this is... don't want the master to see that he is injured?

    Naturally, Pei Nianyu didn't understand the real purpose of Li Han's words. He only thought that his martial arts were still there, and I was afraid that he would hurt his self-esteem, so he couldn't help but secretly regret that he seemed to have slipped his words.

    So he withdrew his hand, intentionally not looking at him again, and was going to let him relax for a while.Turning around and taking Lou Yefeng out, he said:

    "Okay, then the king will leave first."

    After the two left the courtyard, Pei Nianyu wanted to really leave, but Lou Yefeng stopped him and shook his head silently.

    Pei Nianyu asked with his eyes:

    What's wrong?

    Lou Yefeng grabbed the master's palm, and lightly traced a few words on his palm:

    "Master, wait a moment, go back and see him later."

    Pei Nianyu knew that Lou Yefeng must have his reasons, so he counted silently for a minute or two before turning around and walking back.

    ………………

    In the courtyard of Hanqiu Pavilion.

    Li Han watched His Royal Highness King Yu leave, guessing that the two of them were almost gone.So he took a few deep breaths, and after a while, he stood up staggeringly, leaning against the wall to leave the yard.

    Unexpectedly, he had just walked two steps, when he suddenly felt a churning in his chest.Li Han subconsciously bent over and coughed, the pain that he had endured the whole time before could no longer hold it back, and a stream of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

    The bright red blood gurgled from the corner of his mouth, dripping quickly.

    He hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it off, but because of the shaking of his hand, he couldn't stop the mouthful of blood from falling to the ground, and a cloud of clear vermilion floated on the as clean as new marble slab.

    Li Han was stunned for a moment, because he remembered what His Royal Highness King Yu said - the flowers and plants in this mansion can't stand the smell of blood, they will be hit.

    He had no choice but to bend down again with difficulty, and frantically wiped off the ball of blood with his sleeve, but because he moved too fast, the blood in his heart was overwhelmed again.

    Li Han frowned, thinking that his body was becoming more and more useless, but a hundred whips would be hard to bear.Could it be that, after all, it can't withstand the erosion of age...

    He was about to grit his teeth and force himself to pass, but a helpless sigh sounded in his ears, the voice was warm and soft:

    "Are you... come to wipe the floor for me?"

    Pei Nianyu had been standing at the door since Li Han got up, watching him quietly for a long time.At first, he was still hesitating whether to speak out, fearing that he would embarrass him by seeing him in such a mess.

    But now it seems that if he keeps quiet, Li Han will kneel here and wipe the floor for him for an hour.

    He looked at Li Han like this, and thought to himself that you are already like this, so why were you acting so aggressive just now.If Lou Yefeng hadn't held me back and asked me to come back and have a look, what would you do here by yourself.

    He sighed and asked the people around him:

    "Li Han, this is...?"

    Lou Yefeng said:

    "The subordinates are just guessing... I am afraid that the rules of the shadow guards in their palace are different from ours. If there are special circumstances, when they can't bear the skin trauma, they will use internal force to carry out the punishment instead."

    Pei Nianyu was startled:

    "Then didn't he... suffer a lot of internal injuries? Why not let him suffer from the external injuries?"

    "... almost."

    Pei Nianyu looked at Li Han and took a deep breath. He didn't get angry after all.

    Lou Yefeng didn't know about this rule, he guessed it afterwards.But you, Li Han, don't know, but you refused to tell me at all.

    I thought I was helping you, but I didn't expect to end up causing you to suffer even more...

    Pei Nianyu felt quite uncomfortable, knowing that he was self-defeating, so he couldn't help but sighed deeply.

    He took a look at Li Han's appearance, pulled out the system without much hesitation, opened the medicinal diet interface, and spent the whole body scan and health care that he bought one get one free.

    Accompanied by the familiar and crisp "beep", the circle appeared on the system interface again, turning and turning, turning and turning.

    "Data scanning..."

    "Data scanning..."

    "Data scanning..."

    "The data has been scanned and is being parsed, please wait..."

    Pei Nianyu has experience this time, and knows that the pit ratio system is stuck again, and I am afraid that he will have to wait for a long time, so there is no need to stand here all the time.

    So he asked people to call Xia Yao, looked at Li Han, shook his head and said:

    "Li Han, you didn't eat the medicinal recipes that the king sent you before, so I won't ask why. But during the few days you've been thinking about here, I must make some medicinal recipes for you, you just have to eat."

    Just as Li Han was about to say something, Pei Nianyu said again:

    "If you don't eat, then there will be nothing else to eat, and I won't let other people feed you. You can figure it out for yourself. After you starve for ten days, you still have the strength to go back and complete your master's task."

    Li Han was silent. After starving for ten days, he would always survive starvation, but if he didn't eat, his injuries would not recover, so how could he work for his master?

    So he was forced to accept Pei Nianyu's plan.

    Lou Yefeng on the other side frowned after hearing what the master said:

    "Master, will it be too tiring for you to cook so many medicinal meals? If not...let your subordinates do it."

    Pei Nianyu glanced at him sideways and said with a smile:

    "Oh, Ye Feng, are you jealous again?"

    Lou Yefeng just wanted to explain that there was no such intention, but Xia Yao came to Hanqiu Pavilion before it had time.

    Xia Yao entered the courtyard, and saw bloodstains on the ground and Li Han kneeling at a glance.But his face was stable, his eyes were not squinted, he didn't ask a word, and just saluted Pei Nianyu.

    Pei Nianyu ordered:

    "Xia Yao, arrange a yard for Commander Lin to sleep in..."

    Before he finished speaking, Li Han straightened his body, knelt down and said:

    "His Royal Highness, King Yu! This subordinate is here to apologize to you, so there is no reason to live in a guest room...My lord, there should be a dungeon in your mansion, and this subordinate should live in a cell."

    Pei Nianyu and Lou Yefeng looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.Then he looked at Li Han fixedly, thinking that there is something wrong with you.

    He squinted at him, and said solemnly:

    "Well, there are dungeons in this king's mansion, but the gate of the dungeon has been in disrepair for a long time, and if it can't be opened, naturally it can't be entered. Don't think about it."

    Li Han: "..."

    What the hell is the gate in disrepair!

    Then he said:

    "Then... let the subordinates live in a woodshed..."

    Pei Nianyu turned over Byakugan:

    "If your bloody smell is contaminated with firewood, the meals I cook will not taste good."

    Li Han: "..."

    What else did he have to say, Pei Nianyu said in an unquestionable tone:

    "Xia Yao, arrange a separate courtyard for him, why not the one to the west of Hanqiu Pavilion..."

    Who knows that Pei Nianyu thought for a while, then suddenly stopped, and said to himself:

    "No, it's too close to my yard, okay..."

    After saying that, he raised his eyes to look at Lou Yefeng, and then continued:

    "Arrange Li Han a guest house in the garden of Beifu."

    "Yes, the servant girl takes the order."

    Lou Yefeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he couldn't say it.

    This... the master put Li Han directly in the north garden of the palace because he was afraid that he would taste bad?

    Lou Yefeng looked at the master's firm tone, as if he firmly believed that he would be jealous, and didn't know what to say for a while.

    Seeing that the protest was ineffective, Li Han was silent for a while, and saluted with some difficulty:

    "Subordinate...His Royal Highness King Xie Yu..."

    Pei Nianyu looked at his body that was bending over hard to thank him, and avoided not accepting his gift.Then he sighed again, and then went to Lian Xiao's medicine house.

    Now it's all right, besides making Ye Feng's medicinal food, he also has to make Lin Han's.I hope that these two people have the same dishes in their medicinal diet, so that they can cook a few fewer dishes, otherwise he will be exhausted and can't finish it.

    Pei Nianyu skillfully took out various medicinal materials from Lian Xiao's medicine box and processed them for later use.He was concentrating on washing the herbs on his hands when he suddenly heard a "beep" system notification.

    He quickly opened it to read, and a long inspection report was pasted on his face.He casually dragged down a few pages, and found that Li Han seemed to have more problems, large and small, than Lou Yefeng.

    Especially the shadow guards in their palace, after all, they are in a different environment. Compared with the leisure of these shadow guards in their palace, I am afraid that the burden on Li Han and the others has not been lightened by half in the past few years.

    Pei Nianyu saw that Li Han was still taking several medicines to maintain his martial arts at its peak or to make his body more responsive, or medicines that needed to be taken for a long time to increase his resistance to poisons.

    In addition, there are old wounds on the bones and joints, and some long-term hidden wounds on the meridians of the lungs and meridians...they are all kinds of things, too numerous to count.

    He shook his head, took a few glances and then didn't look any further. After all, there are really...too many problems with him!

    So he simply pulled out the medicinal recipes given by the system to see, no more, no less, more than a thousand kinds.Fortunately, there are more than 200 kinds of prescriptions that are the same as the prescriptions that Lou Yefeng is eating now.

    Pei Nianyu figured it out, so Li Han didn't have to do a lot of extra work on medicinal food during the ten days he was here.

    He prepared the necessary medicinal materials for later use, and then copied down the medicinal recipes that he needed to make for Li Han alone in the past few days, combined them into a stack of paper, and brought them back to his bedroom.

    …………

    At dusk, Pei Nianyu was about to go to see how the medicinal materials were soaking, but in a blink of an eye, the medicinal recipes he put on the table disappeared.

    Pei Nianyu wondered, this mansion is under the nose of the shadow guards, who can steal this thing from his bedroom?

    So a shadow guard was called to inquire.

    The shadow guard said with a bewildered expression:

    "That stack of papers was taken away by Deacon Lou..."

    "Okay, you go back."

    Pei Nianyu thought to himself, what is this guy doing with Li Han's prescription?Could it be that……

    He walked slowly to Lian Xiao's medicine hut, and as expected, he saw Lou Yefeng busy in the medicine hut, making the medicinal food meticulously according to the order of the recipe.

    Pei Nianyu stepped in and joked:

    "Hey, what does Princess Lou mean by doing it herself rather than letting me take care of Li Han? Tsk tsk tsk..."

    Pei Nianyu was very satisfied. He felt that his family Ye Feng had evolved from verbal jealousy to doing it himself, not letting him show love to Lin Han. This progress was really obvious.

    Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Lou Yefeng didn't show the blushing expression of being teased.Instead, he froze for a moment, opened his mouth stiffly to say something, and swallowed it back:

    "..."

    Pei Nianyu was startled, and asked:

    "Ye Feng, what do you want to say?"

    After hearing this, Lou Yefeng paused for a while, then his expression darkened a little, and he sighed indistinctly, lowered his head and pursed his lips.

    Pei Nianyu felt a little helpless in him for no reason.

    Lou Yefeng didn't dare to look up at his master, but said in a low and slow voice:

    "Master...maybe you believe what your subordinates say?"

    Pei Nianyu was startled, how...how could he make his most trusted shadow guard ask this question?

    But then Lou Yefeng raised his head and looked at him, his eyes were actually filled with pleading and uncertainty, as well as...somewhat like wanting to justify something.

    Pei Nianyu took a deep breath, told him to stop what he was doing, pulled him to sit down, looked him straight in the eyes, and said with certainty:

    "Why did Ye Feng say that. I must believe what you say. If you have something to say, just say it."

    Seeing the solemn attitude of the master, Lou Yefeng relaxed a little bit, then considered his tone, and said:

    "Master, in fact, this subordinate... I really don't always get jealous of Li Han. Except, except..."

    Lou Yefeng lowered his head unconsciously, his voice became much timid:

    "Except for the time when Li Han gave you the Zizhi Yulu ointment...it was true. After that, my subordinates didn't...not..."

    Pei Nianyu was taken aback for a moment.

    Then Lou Yefeng raised his head again, as if expressing his determination:

    "Master, this subordinate knows that I have too many thoughts, but from now on...it won't be like this in the future. Master, you are kind by nature, and your subordinates shouldn't obstruct you. Just take care of Li Han... this subordinate will definitely do your bestHelp."

    "I just beg the master... I beg the master not to think that the subordinate... is too jealous..."

    Pei Nianyu was completely stunned.

    When Lin Han came here today, he casually joked a few words about Ye Feng. Originally, he thought that this would make Ye Feng more adaptable to the rationality of being the "monopolistic master", but now he looked at the resolute face in front of him, and his eyes were a little bitA wronged person vaguely feels that he has done something wrong.

    He read Lou Yefeng's words again, and finally understood——

    Ye Feng's fear of being angry with him and being jealous of him is far greater than his jealousy of really caring about Lin Han.

    After thinking it over, Pei Nianyu immediately took him into his arms with distress:

    "Ye Feng, you..."

    Whether it was Ye Feng, who was a little jealous before, or Ye Feng, who was so "virtuous" because he didn't dare to be jealous, it made him feel distressed.

    He sighed and said:

    "Actually, I didn't really think you would be jealous, but I won't make fun of you about it in the future."

    ——Because Pei Nianyu found out that his casual jokes actually hurt him more.

    Then Pei Nianyu patted him on the shoulder as if he was relieved:

    "It relieves me. Since you said you want to support me, then you can cook Li Han's medicinal diet. I'm really too busy."

    "Besides, what you said, Ye Feng, is right. If I take too much care of Lin Han, I'm afraid Xiao Sheng will be unhappy. Therefore, you should be responsible for all matters related to Lin Han's recovery during his stay in the palace."

    Pei Nianyu thought to himself that even if his family, Ye Feng, said that he would not be jealous in the future, he could not show excessive intimacy with Lin Han.Otherwise, if Ye Feng was really jealous but didn't dare to say it in his heart, wouldn't it be a big problem.

    Lou Yefeng accepted the task with a nod, and added a sentence at the same time:

    "Exactly. Master, your injuries... have been checked by your subordinates, and they are no longer a problem. Why don't you start practicing martial arts tomorrow. Your handy weapon has also been properly equipped, and it should be used."

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    He wanted to refute that the injury healed so quickly, but his injury was completely healed.And Lou Yefeng was responsible for changing his dressing every day, of course he couldn't do it fakely.

    Pei Nianyu had no choice but to nod and said yes, but he thought in his heart that the king's leisure time is gone...

    ………………

    Fortunately, Pei Nianyu knew that learning martial arts was for real this time, and it was rare to get up early the next morning.

    After washing and eating, he first went to Calm Heart Lake and waited for Master Teacher to come here.

    Unexpectedly, as soon as Pei Nianyu arrived at the lake, he saw a figure in a black cloak by the lake who was meditating from a distance, so he called out briskly:

    "Ye Feng!"

    Unexpectedly, when the figure turned around, it was Li Han.

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    His first reaction was, what is Li Han doing here, and his second reaction——

    That cloak on him!!!

    Pei Nianyu's face turned dark all of a sudden.

    He went in, fortunately, he found that it wasn't Lou Yefeng's unique sable fur cloak, but a black bear fur imitation cloak of the same style that he was going to change for washing.

    But those are also Lou Yefeng's clothes...!!

    He didn't listen to Li Han's greeting at all, and asked directly:

    "Where did you get this cloak???"

    Li Han was puzzled and said:

    "Going back to His Royal Highness King Yu, yesterday when Lou Deacon was delivering herbal meals to his subordinates, he saw that his subordinates did not bring warm clothes. He took pity on his subordinates' internal injuries, so he lent me this cloak to wear..."

    Pei Nianyu stretched out his hand:

    "Take it off, and I'll give you another one."

    Li Han: "......???"

    The author has something to say:

    Lao Pei: old building, you are so jealous that you don't turn over the jar, which makes me feel bad.

    old building: Whose jealous jar has been overturned???
