15. The saber is worn down, the spit pot is smashed, and the laughing king is humiliated

Pei Nianyu received the notice that Li Han was going to be sent over an hour ago.

Yes, he insisted that this was just a "notification". He always felt that Pei Niancheng couldn't handle this trouble, so he packed it up and threw it to himself like a hot potato.

What else did you say, "It's my brother who is sorry, so I let my brother handle it"...

Ghosts believe it, I think you can't do it!

Pei Nianyu muttered to himself.

Lou Yefeng looked at his master struggling, and said in relief:

"Master, why worry, Li Han is at your disposal. You can just toss him a little bit, and you can calm down. Even if you toss him to death, it doesn't matter. Anyway, His Majesty said, life and death don't matter."

"Does the master want to let him go like this?"

Pei Nianyu patted the table:

"This guy Li Han is pissing me off, just let him go like this, that's definitely not okay!"

Lou Yefeng spent so much effort to understand the Peach Blossom Gu, of course he also wanted to take the opportunity to punish him, so he continued to follow suit:

"What's more, Li Han has a guilty conscience in his heart. The harder the master treats him, the happier he will be."

Pei Nianyu didn't answer, but he knew in his heart that it was probably true.

So he nodded in agreement with Lou Yefeng's statement, and then called Xia Yao, the female official in charge of the palace who hadn't been told for a long time, to have a short meeting:

"Sister Xia, I would like to ask you a question..."

Xia Yao hastily waved her hands:

"You can't be a maidservant! What are you doing, my lord? If you have anything to do, just tell me."

"Hey, it's like this. I don't know if sister Xia spent those years in the palace, did she know anything about... the punishment method for grinding palace people?"

Xia Yao looked at him in disbelief:

"...Does the master want to use it on the princess?"

What is she doing with this bedtime pleasure?

Pei Nianyu's eyes suddenly darkened:

"Cough, of course not! That's how it is. In an hour's time, someone will come over to make amends. This person...he has done something that offended me, so I want him to suffer. But I don't want toWhat kind of long-term tossing means..."

"I want to hand him over to sister Xia to "discipline" him for a period of time. I can see you tormenting him at any time on weekdays. I can somewhat relieve my anger."

Xia Yao thought for a while:

"That's it... There are naturally ways to train people."

Xia Yao is older than Lou Yefeng, and has spent much more time in the palace than in the palace.

As the fourth prince's personal maid, the first-class court lady, and now the highest-ranking lady in charge, she really knows a lot about those shady things in the palace.

However, a man with such a heart as Wang Ye proposed to use such means to torment others for the first time. It can be seen that this man has really made some serious mistakes.

So she asked again:

"I don't know what kind the lord wants? It's not the same whether you are tossing to death, or tossing to death but taking a breath."

This question successfully caught Pei Nianyu again.He was dumb for a moment, not knowing how to answer her.

However, when Xia Yao saw this, she sighed softly in her heart and nodded:

"My lord, I already know."

Xia Yao looked at this young man whom she had grown up with since she was a maid in the court. In terms of understanding the prince's mind, she was not necessarily less confident than Lou Yefeng.

Although she hadn't received a clear order from the prince himself at this time, she seemed to have a well-thought-out idea of what to do.So she gave a blessing, turned and left.

Pei Nianyu said to himself:

"No, what do you know? I didn't say anything..."

………………

An hour later, the shadow guards returning from the palace brought Li Han with them.

These shadow guards didn't know what Li Han was doing in the palace, but they guarded Li Han for the past few days, and they still knew his identity.

When they arrived at the palace, they went to meet the master together.Pei Nianyu asked a few shadow guards to keep Li Han's identity a secret, and issued a notice not to gossip.Then he waved away the crowd and looked at Li Han standing in the room.

Li Han knelt down.

"Subordinate Li Han, see His Royal Highness King Yu."

Pei Nianyu didn't cry out. He flicked his sleeves and sat down on the Eight Immortals chair in the middle of the hall.

"Li Han, you should know why you are here."

"...Yes, the subordinate understands. I ask the prince to punish me, and there is no complaint."

Pei Nianyu snorted:

"I don't want you to die so soon before I have vented enough. You can be a low-level servant in my house first, and when I have vented enough, I will take your life."

——Actually, there is no distinction between high, middle and low class officials in the palace, so he is the only "inferior servant".

Li Han bowed his head, his posture was full of respect, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

"yes."

"Give him something."

Lou Yefeng put a small iron box that he had just prepared in front of him.

Li Han opened it and saw a pair of shackles.But he breathed a sigh of relief for no reason—it really wasn't as simple as "being an inferior servant".

"In this mansion, Xia Yao, the female officer in charge, will teach you what to do. But Xiao Sheng told me that your internal strength has recovered. I am afraid that you will hurt my maid by disobedience, so I have to bring youTool, do you understand?"

"yes."

He took out the shackles without any hesitation, fastened and locked them on his wrists and ankles.After he put it on, he observed it a little. The iron cable in the middle was not thick and heavy, and the length was not too short.At least it is enough for his daily work, and it does not hinder walking.

Li Han knew very well that such a strong machine would not be able to stop his inner power infusion, and if he wanted to break the shackles, it could be said to be a piece of cake.But since the prince wanted him to be humiliated, how could he untie it by himself.

Then he looked into the iron box again, and saw an ordinary, simple wooden mask lying on the bottom of the box.

"Among the shadow guards of the palace, there are not a few who recognize your identity. You are humiliated in the palace, and it doesn't matter to you. But you are Xiaosheng's man. If you ask others to talk about your majesty's shadow head as a slave in the palace, it will be the one who is wronged."His Majesty's face."

"So, when you walk in the mansion, you need to wear this mask all the time."

Li Han froze for a moment, picked up the mask, and slowly covered his face.

The mask was slightly curved, just enough to cover his entire face, leaving only his eyes to see and his mouth and nose to breathe.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Lord, do you want to show your subordinates some face at this time?

Nine points of true anger and one point of kindness.

Li Han is not worthy of your treatment.

"Go to the backyard and find Miss Xia Yao, she will arrange for you. By the way, low-level servants are not worthy to call her sister, you need to call her an adult."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

……………

After Pei Nianyu finished explaining, he waved him out, pretending to be reading a book on his back in the bedroom, but in fact pricked up his ears to use his internal strength, and listened to the movement in the backyard with a heart of gossip.

Li Han went out, dragging the chains on his hands and feet to the backyard of Hanqiu Pavilion.

Ever since the lord didn't want a maid to serve him personally, Xia Yao has nothing to do all year round.At this time, she was already waiting there, holding a short snakeskin whip for admonishment in her hand - after she knew that this new servant was a martial artist, she asked He Qi for this.

"This subordinate has seen the adults."

With the cold face of the female officer in charge, Xia Yao lashed out with a whip:

"Change your title first. You are an inferior servant of the King Yu Palace. When you see your superiors, you need to call yourself a slave. As for how you call yourself in front of the prince, then I don't care."

Li Han stood still and accepted the whip humbly.

Xia Yao has no internal strength, this whip can't even tear her clothes.But Li Han also doesn't know how to use internal force to protect his body, so the hit on his body is quite painful.

"Yes, I know my mistake."

He thought that the female officer would take the opportunity of admitting his mistake to smoke a few more times, but he didn't.I saw Xia Yao pointing to a side room next to the small kitchen in Hanqiu Pavilion:

"There is no spare room for you in this mansion. Nuo, you can sleep in this woodshed."

"yes."

Of course Li Han knew that the mansion in this palace was simple and there were not many servants. How could there be no vacant room? It was just an excuse to deliberately torment him.

But it suits him.

"To the west of Hanqiu Pavilion is the big dining room, where the people in the mansion get their own meals. Don't expect me to share the food for you, just starve yourself after the meal time."

"The treasury's room is in the southwest corner of the palace. Go there to get the bedding and clothes. I'll give you half a day to collect your own things and tidy up the woodshed."

"Come over in the afternoon and start learning the rules."

"……yes."

Li Han wanted to say that he didn't need to take the bedding at all, but Xia Yao saw him standing still, so she whipped him again:

"Why don't you go? You're deaf!"

So Li Han had no choice but to go to the treasurer's room to get his quilt.

Since he put on the shackles and entered the backyard, there have been nearby maids and servants quietly watching. Li Han's internal strength has recovered, so he can naturally feel these curious gazes.On the way to the treasurer's room, he felt the prying of a lot of shadow guards on duty in the dark.

The Wangfu is usually quiet and not noisy, so the noise of the equipment on his hands and feet is very eye-catching. Passing by everywhere in the Wangfu, people have to pay attention.

Although Li Han was prepared for this, he accepted everything he experienced after coming to the palace.However, the mask on his face, after all, blocked three points of embarrassment for him.

When he arrived at the treasury room, sure enough, the steward of the treasury room also received the order of the prince to make things difficult for him.

The steward of the treasury is an old eunuch who is retiring in the mansion. He has a very kind face, but he speaks very ruthlessly:

"Oh, boy, what a coincidence, the newly made quilts in this warehouse were distributed to the maids last month, there is no extra..."

Li Han already expected that he would not be able to do anything smoothly, so he bowed respectfully to the steward when he heard the words:

"There is a father-in-law, it's fine if you don't get slaves."

He turned around and left.

The steward: "..."

Looking at the figure of this person leaving, he couldn't help stroking his beard, and said to himself:

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, this kid...is there really something wrong?"

When Li Han returned without success, Xia Yao saw that he came back empty-handed, so she raised the whip again, and slapped him twice:

"You can't do such a simple thing well, what use is it for you!"

Li Han knelt and said:

"I know I was wrong. My lord, please calm down, but the steward said that this year's quilts have been distributed..."

"Bold, how dare you talk back!"

"...Yes, I know my mistake."

Xia Yao took the opportunity to smoke a few more times.

"Go back and get it again! It's going to be winter soon, if you freeze to death, who will do the work in the yard?"

So Li Han had no choice but to go back to the treasury as promised, but this time the manager said, let me find out if there are any bedding left from previous years.

Unexpectedly, it took almost half an hour for the steward to find him, and he left Li Han hanging in the courtyard of the treasurer's room, and let him stand there like this.This treasury is in charge of the expenses of the goods in various parts of the mansion, and the stewards and maids and servants from all over the place come to collect the supplies, and they come in and out quite frequently.

So Li Han, who was in shackles, was naturally scrutinized and pointed for a long time by various people coming and going.

Half an hour later, after everyone else had finished collecting their things, the steward "finally" found a quilt and handed it to him:

"Boy, fortunately you are lucky. This is left over from last year. You can take it away. If you break it, there will be no more."

"Yes, my servant thanked the steward."

Li Han took it, hugged it all the way back, and put it in the woodshed.

He looked at this set of quilts, the color of the fabric has faded a little, it really is something from the warehouse.However, the fabric is flat and comfortable, without any traces of other people's use.Moreover, the amount of cotton stuffed inside is no less than the weight, which is more than enough to keep warm in winter.

Li Han originally wanted to just throw away the quilt, but seeing that there is a lot of dust in the woodshed, he was afraid of dirtying the things in the prince's house.So he still tidied up a corner of the small woodshed, cleaned it, and put the bedding on it gently.

As for whether to use it or not, let’s talk.

…………………

This afternoon, Li Han listened to Xia Yao's teaching of "rules" in the backyard as promised, and naturally received several whips during the process.

It was dinner time, and Pei Nianyu, who had been watching all day, finally came out of the bedroom, as if he had just woken up.

He walked towards the small kitchen to prepare dinner, and when he passed Li Han who was kneeling, he deliberately didn't dodge, trying to walk over him, but of course he staggered.

Pei Nianyu was furious:

"What tripped me up? It made me almost fall down."

Li Han hurriedly said:

"My lord calm down, it's because my subordinates don't have eyes, so I should fight."

Xia Yao handed over the whip in good time.

Pei Nianyu thought that his internal strength had recovered, so he didn't have to worry about it.So he swung the whip like the wind, bringing three points of internal force, and whipped it on his back.

However, the moment the whip fell, Pei Nianyu was startled for a moment, and his hand holding the whip stopped.

This guy...how did he withdraw all his strength from the body shield?

Sure enough, Li Han's body no longer knelt straight, and he swayed slightly, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed back the blood that was about to vomit.Then said:

"Thank you, my lord, for the reward."

Pei Nianyu thought, oh, this is a newly learned "rule" today.He threw the whip back to Xia Yao, and lightly kicked the person on the ground:

"Go away, don't get in the way!"

"……yes."

Naturally, Li Han's dinner cannot be eaten in Hanqiu Pavilion.After reciting the rules, he went to the big dining room of the palace to receive the meal, but it was just in time for the shadow guards to change their shift to eat, so he was baptized by another round of stares.

When he came back to Hanqiu Pavilion, it was already late.The prince was lying in the bedroom, and when he heard the sound of shackles in the courtyard, he pushed the door out again:

"What's the sound, it's a disturbing dream at night."

Li Han hastily admitted his mistake.

"Kneel in the yard and reflect, don't make a sound!"

"yes."

However, it is so difficult to make the iron chains on the hands and feet completely silent.Li Han didn't take it seriously, and actually knelt down like this all night.

From the rising of the moon to the high setting of the sun.For a full six hours, the thin figure remained motionless.
