18. When the sun goes back, it’s hard to see people, and you don’t say anything when you’re worried

The two of Pei Lou spent a lot of internal energy, so they got a good night's sleep that night.

The next morning, Pei Nianyu woke up and looked at the rising sun outside the window, thinking that he had finally made up his mind yesterday and solved the problems that had been bothering him during this period of time, and he felt very light in his heart.

Now, it's time to deal with Li Han's matter.

After breakfast, he called Xia Yao and ordered:

"The one in the firewood room in the backyard, you don't have to worry about him on weekdays, and you don't have to order him to do anything. He still needs to recover from his injuries in the past few days. But you don't need extra care. Just let him eat three meals a day..”

Xia Yao looked at Wang Ye's expression, she had some guesses about this matter in her heart, she smiled slightly, then nodded and said:

"The servant girl understands, so do you want to take off the shackles on his hands? And, will you continue to let him live in the woodshed?"

"If you don't take it for the time being, there are other uses. There is no need to change the place. He is a shadow guard. Whether he lives comfortably or not does not prevent him from recovering from his injuries. Besides, the woodshed is next to the small kitchen. As long as he doesn't come out and run around, the house is much better than others."The other rooms are warmer."

After Xia Yao left, Pei Nianyu thought about it:

"What should I do next?"

Lou Yefeng reminded at the right time:

"Master, Li Han is such a dead-headed person, you go and tell him that you have forgiven him, and you don't need to worry about this matter from now on, I'm afraid it's useless."

"But he has suffered so much in the mansion, he should feel..."

Lou Yefeng looked at his master, knowing that it was because the master had been far away from the "normal" mansion ecology of those "normal" wealthy people for too long, he shook his head:

"Except for the last slap from me, nothing else counts. He himself will never think that the punishment he received in the past half month is enough to make up for his fault."

"Don't say he is a shadow guard, it's just an ordinary servant girl. It's not uncommon for offended stewards to be tortured like this in the mansion. Besides, sister Xia is very measured."

"So, master, I'm afraid you have to think of a way to let him let go of some knots."

"That……"

Pei Nianyu was not good at calculating such things, and Lian Xiao, who was best at calculating this, would never get involved too much and stretched out his hand.However, at this time, he didn't know why his stomach was full of bad water, and plans popped out of his head slowly.

"In short, let them..."

"Hey, my brother hasn't come to this mansion for dinner for a long time. Let someone send a letter to the palace to ask, I wonder when he will be free?"

…………

Li Han was in a coma for a day and a night. He only felt that his body was as cold as winter at one time and as hot as summer heat at another time.The internal force in the meridians is rushing around, and it has been unable to suppress the internal injuries and the messy old diseases in the body.

And his consciousness is like walking through the three-way hell.He sometimes dreamed of the various times he spent with his master in the old year, sometimes he dreamed of the master's stern questioning, and sometimes he dreamed of the master's contempt after he learned of his invisible thoughts.

In such a turmoil, he had only one thought in the darkness - when will it really end?

However, later on, he felt someone using powerful internal force to heal the wound in his body.After an unknown amount of time, he gradually felt his body calm down, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

When Li Han woke up, he saw that it was bright outside, and he had been unconscious for several days, but he was still in the small woodshed.The stove in the small kitchen next door seemed to have been burning for a long time for some reason, but it warmed the room enough.

The occasional crackling of the burning firewood and the quiet chirping of birds outside the yard brought him a sense of peace for a short time.But then he looked down and saw the iron chain in his hand, and finally his heart sank again.

He tried to use his internal energy, and it became smoother than before, and his internal injuries were mostly healed, needless to say who did it.Those in the mansion whose internal energy is superior to his and who have the energy to heal their wounds have nothing else to think about except those two.

But...why...

Li Han couldn't help but have a sore nose and almost burst into tears.

He originally wanted to give his life back to the two of them, but he hadn't redeemed his sins, and he hadn't received a word of forgiveness from the prince himself, but did the prince soften his heart?

He looked at his hand again, there was no black purse, and when he touched the clothes, it was in the pocket of his bosom, presumably he subconsciously hid it back when he was unconscious.

Thinking of the master, Li Han felt even more painful.In the past, when I was busy with tasks, I didn't have time to think about my love for my master. Now in this palace, except for repeated physical labor, I don't bother my mind, so I spend more time thinking about my master in my spare time than before.

If you miss each other, you can't meet each other, if you miss each other, you can't meet each other, and you can't die if you die.It is sour and bitter, and don't know when will be relieved.

Li Han got up, and as soon as he walked out of the firewood room, he felt that his steps were much lighter, presumably it was the effect of recovering from internal injuries.He saw Xia Yao pruning the branches and leaves comfortably in front of the flower bed in the backyard, so he walked up to her and asked her what work she needed today.

Xia Yao cut the flowers and put them away, pretending to be annoyed and said:

"No! You don't need to work these few days, you should rest first, and go to the dining room to make up for meals today."

"You're a real person. Don't look for death in the future. Our prince is kind-hearted, and he can't see these things, do you know?"

Li Han's heart sank, "Sinxin can't see these things?"

He knows that the prince is kind-hearted, and I'm afraid he will annoy the prince again after what happened to him.It seems that the prince wants to stay in front of him and atone for his sins for a long time.

But why did the prince use internal force to save himself?And the master...

Li Han couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to go with the situation.He dragged his body, which had been hungry for two days, to the dining room, and "just happened" to meet the cook over there who said that there were quite a lot of leftovers from today's meal, so just give him the leftovers.

He took a look and saw that the "leftovers" were still warm. There were scrambled eggs with vegetables and a lot of lightly cooked large pieces of chicken and duck.There is even a hot porridge that nourishes qi and blood. He drank the porridge to the end and found a layer of red dates and wolfberries buried under the porridge.

Li Han smiled wryly, thinking that everything in this palace is too "just right".Just because he was injured, how could he bear such gentle treatment from the prince.

…………

Let's say that Pei Niancheng received an invitation from his brother that day, and he couldn't help being very pleasantly surprised.

He has not contacted his brother for more than half a month.The reason for no contact is also very simple, he dare not.

Ever since he knew that Li Han was the one who planted peach blossom Gu on his brother, all he could do was send Li Han there.

Then, don't ask, don't plead, don't suggest.

Pei Niancheng knew how much his brother valued their brotherhood, otherwise he would not have tried to hide this matter before.Just because he cared, he couldn't try to interfere with Li Han even a little bit.

Once he shows any concern about Li Han's current situation and whereabouts, his elder brother will definitely notice the abnormality, and then he will definitely find a way to satisfy his younger brother's request.

Until Li Han came back alive, or, he died.Pei Niancheng couldn't even ask, and he didn't dare to ask.

But in fact, he also really wanted to know what happened to Li Han now.Was he imprisoned for a long time, tortured day and night, or his martial arts were abolished, or his hands and feet were abolished and disabled?

He knew how deeply his brother was hurt, and he knew that what he did was right, but he didn't dare to imagine any of Li Han's miserable situation.

Pei Niancheng had been an emperor for a long time, so he wouldn't be moved by these tragedies, but when he thought of Li Han, that...the person who silently had affection for him...

It was difficult for him to remain indifferent.

But every time he had such thoughts, he would spurn himself extremely - how could he feel sorry for the person who hurt his brother?

Therefore, Pei Niancheng hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past two weeks. He wanted to write a letter to his brother countless times, but he hesitated and burned the letter in the end.

On this day, received a letter from brother. Although there was no mention of that person, Pei Niancheng immediately rejected all the affairs and wrote back saying that he would come tonight.

…………

Besides, in the palace, Pei Nianyu got the exact time of his visit, so he began to prepare the evening meal by himself.

However, when he went out to the Wangfu Restaurant for a walk, and when he came back with some ingredients, he saw Li Han chopping firewood in the backyard.

He stepped forward and frowned:

"Didn't I not let you do this?"

In fact, what Pei Nianyu thought in his heart was: it's not now to do it, your master hasn't come yet.

Xia Yao turned out from the house and spread her hands expressionlessly:

"He insists on rushing to do it himself, and I can't beat him."

Pei Nianyu became angry, and looked at the man with folded arms:

"What do you mean, disobedience, right?"

Li Han immediately knelt down:

"The prince treats his subordinates...the subordinates are really ashamed. The meager body can't share the worries of the prince, so I have to do more trivial things."

Pei Nianyu raised his eyebrows, seeing that he was looking for punishment on purpose, suddenly thought to himself:

"Don't do it, let me see you disobedient again, you just wait to eat the whip!"

"……yes."

However, this is what Li Han was waiting for, to let the prince vent his anger in person as he wished.Sure enough, in the afternoon, Pei Nianyu was preparing a meal when he looked outside and saw that Li Han was working again.

He walked over and squinted his eyes:

"It really is a disobedient thing."

Li Han took out Xia Yao's discarded snakeskin whip at the right time:

"My lord, please punish me. The subordinate's body has recovered, so I can bear it."

He thought that this was the purpose of the prince to cure him: to torture him for a while longer.However, how could Pei Nianyu do such a thing when "Pei Niancheng is not here", he snorted coldly and shouted:

"Also invite sister Xia to come over!"

Xia Yao appeared immediately.

"This person is hot and restless, and he seems to be ill. You went with the shadow guard to get the heavy shackles and put them on, and locked him in..."

Pei Nianyu looked around and saw a tree that was not too thick and not too thin beside the corridor connecting the front and back yards in the backyard, so he pointed out:

"Lock it to that tree and calm him down."

"yes."

So Xia Yao immediately went to do it. This time, the equipment changed for him was the real steel heavy shackles used to restrain the shadow guards. It was thick and heavy, and it was difficult for Li Han to break free even with internal force.In addition to the hands and feet, the neck was also locked with an iron ring, and there was a chain at the iron ring, which tied him to the tree trunk.

After locking him, Pei Nianyu called Xia Yao over and secretly told her so and so.Then he directly ordered to clear all the idlers and shadow guards around the yard, and only ordered the shadow guards to guard against death nearby.

Not long after, Pei Niancheng arrived as scheduled.He thought that Li Han might not have a good time in this mansion, so he didn't let the shadow guards enter the mansion at all, but let them cooperate with the shadow guards of the palace to guard the outside, and he came in by himself.

Previously, they usually ate in the front yard of Hanqiu Pavilion, and it is still the same today.The meals are still plentiful, my brother is still gentle and amiable, and everything seems to be fine.

It's just that as soon as Pei Niancheng sat down today, his gaze passed through the corridor, and he vaguely saw a very familiar figure locked under the tree in the backyard.

Although the man was wearing a mask, Pei Niancheng couldn't recognize who it was.He saw that Li Han was bound by an iron chain by his neck and was forced to kneel on the ground. His figure was much thinner than before, and he couldn't help feeling dizzy for a while.

Pei Nianyu came over, and promptly delivered a bowl of warm creamy corn soup, with a smile in his words, and his eyes were extremely concerned:

"Xiao Sheng, what's the matter with you, are you alright?"

The author has something to say:

Xiao Sheng: Brother is a devil
