Chapter 71 Injured
After Yu Qiu finished speaking, the jumping parrots in the cage became quiet, and the air was as cold as winter.
Facing Yun Heng's slightly squinted eyes, she felt annoyed in her heart, this pretending was too fake, it was all because she was too flustered, which made her head unresponsive.
Yu Qiu turned her eyes around twice with guilty conscience, and slowly showed a flattering smile at Yun Heng, trying to confuse Yun Heng with her beauty, so that he would forget to pursue his own desires.
This obviously couldn't cover up her abnormality, the strength of holding her hand increased, Yu Qiu was dragged by Yun Heng into his arms, and his hands were caught.
Yun Heng lowered his head and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Yu Qiu was still thinking about how to fool him, but when he saw Yun Heng's expressionless face, he couldn't help laughing.
She was held on Yun Heng's chest with both hands, her pretty face was tinged with blush, she tiptoed slightly, and said in a very low voice in a voice that only two people could hear: "Are you still pretending to be fierce to me?Not scary."
Exposing Yun Heng's cold face very shamelessly, she struggled with her wrist, raised her voice a little, and said softly: "I was playing with you, you are still grabbing me..."
While speaking, there was a sly gleam in the black eyes, sweeping back and forth between Yun Heng and the guards beside him.
Yun Heng understands what she means, there are outsiders around, so they can't be so close.
The meaning implied in this sentence made him happy, he endured Yu Qiu's provocation, looked at her bright red lips again, recollected the feeling, and let go of her wrists as Yu Qiu wanted.
Save some face for her and teach her a lesson next time.
After letting Yu Qiu go free, he said flatly, "Don't let me know what bad idea you're playing again."
"I didn't—" Yu Qiu raised his face and acted cutely.
Yun Heng didn't worry about Yu Qiu's weirdness for the time being, glanced at the parrot, and asked, "The one Yun Po raised?"
The guards are Yun Lang's subordinates, the prince is in the palm of his hand, the guards dare not hide anything, Yun Heng can answer whatever he asks."His Highness the Fifth Prince heard this parrot sing at the Third Prince's place before, and has been pestering His Highness to ask him for it... This subordinate managed to get it..."
It is not difficult to understand the guard's vague words, it must have been obtained by some shady means.
Speaking of which, since Yun Po is not in Capital, the guards in the mansion are even stricter. It is not necessary to think that they are guarding against their brothers.This guard can get out a parrot at this time, which is quite capable.
Yun Heng took another look at him, and motioned him to put the birdcage on the table.
Yu Qiu's eyes followed the extremely familiar parrot. It turned out that the parrot belonged to the third prince at first, and later to the fifth prince. How did it end up in Yun Heng's hands?Isn't it so rare that a parrot is worth fighting for by several princes?
She got closer curiously, and as soon as she leaned over to look, the parrot jumped up, flapped its wings and threw the nuts in the food box to Yu Qiu, and she hurriedly stood up to avoid it.
The guard did not leave immediately after putting down the cage, but bowed and tapped on the cage to scare the parrot into silence.
Just in time, Yu Qiu, who moved to the front of the guard through the stone table, raised his eyes following the voice, and was caught by the silver light on the guard's sleeve.
She was confused, didn't realize what it was, blinked her eyes twice, and moved to the side. Just at this moment, the guard straightened up, and the silver light flashed again, causing Yu Qiu's eyes to narrow.
At this moment, Yu Qiu finally saw clearly - what was hidden in the guard's sleeve was a scabbard dagger.
The guard turned to Yun Heng, the dagger stuck out a few inches following his movements, and the sharp blade was hidden in his palm.
Yu Qiu's heart shrank suddenly, and before he had time to think about it, he rushed towards Yun Heng, "Be careful!"
According to her expectation, Yun Heng would be thrown back staggeringly by her. In this way, both of them could avoid the guard's dagger, and neither of them would be injured.
But Yunheng was like an indestructible wall, even though she had exhausted all her strength, she was caught firmly without taking a step back.
Yu Qiu could feel the wind blowing from his back, and closed his eyes in despair.
She thought she was bound to die, but she didn't notice that Yun Heng picked her up with one hand.
Yun Heng stared at Yu Qiu's eyes that were closed because of fear, and a thought popped up in his heart that he hadn't seen for a long time. Yu Qiu liked him so much that he was willing to sacrifice his life for him.
Different from the previous two misunderstandings, this time he really took action, and it wasn't that he would make a mistake... There will be no more mistakes, right?
Yu Qiu really likes him.Don't know when it started.
Because of this distraction, he failed to subdue the guards in time. Seeing that the sharp blade was about to stab Yu Qiu, Yun Heng raised his hand.
His squeamish concubine, when she kissed her more intensely, she would angrily not allow him to touch her, if she bled, she might cry out in pain and never come to him again.
Yun Heng lowered his head and lightly touched the top of Yu Qiu's hair, while raising his forearm to face the dagger.
He shot quickly, his arm brushed against the sharp blade, clasped the guard's wrist tightly with five fingers like eagle claws, and twisted it neatly, there was a crisp "click", the guard grunted, and his palm opened convulsively.
The dagger fell off and was snatched by Yun Heng.
A strand of hair cut off by the blade fell on Yu Qiu's back, Yun Heng's eyes sank, and he swung the blade towards the guard's throat.
There is no need to interrogate, this man's lifespan has come to an end.
The tremor caused by the sharp blade cutting through the flesh was clearly transmitted from the blade to Yun Heng's hand, and then extended to the bottom of his heart with the blood flow, and then rushed to the limbs and bones, arousing long-lost pleasure and satisfaction in his heart.
He doesn't even need to look at it, just by feeling, he can know which layer of flesh the blade cut through, like a picture, he can feel the blood rushing, screaming, and wanting to spurt from the cut meridiancome out.
He threw away the blood-stained blade, and in the next moment, blood spurted out. He hugged Yu Qiu and turned around half a circle in time, protecting her from the dirty blood with his back.
His princess must be fragrant and not be contaminated by any filth.
But Yu Qiu didn't wait for the pain, and was led around half a circle unprepared, his footsteps wobbled and he couldn't stand still, and Yun Heng held his waist and leaned into his arms.
Opening his eyes in confusion, he saw Yun Heng smiling at her.
"Scared?" Yun Heng's voice was very gentle.
Yu Qiu was stunned, unable to realize what was going on.
At this time, there was a "plop", and the sound of a heavy object falling behind Yun Heng, she turned her eyes involuntarily, and saw the guard lying on the ground.
The guard's eyes were blank, his right wrist was slumped in a strange posture, his body twitched, and there was a bloody wound on his neck, from which blood was gurgling.
The blood pooled on the ground, like a gradually spreading, blood-red lake.
Yun Heng patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "It's okay, I'm dead."
Yu Qiu's hands trembled, feeling the warm liquid on her hands, she looked blankly, and saw that the hand she was holding on Yun Heng's arm had been stained red with blood.
It was the blood that flowed from Yun Heng's arm, piercing through her fingers, flowing down the protruding phalanges on the back of her hand, and flowing into her cuff.
The blood color expanded in front of his eyes, Yu Qiu's eyes went dark, his body went limp, and he lost all consciousness.
"I didn't instigate him. I only asked him to steal from Brother Sanhuang's house, and didn't let him assassinate you."
"He's just an ordinary guard, and he has no ability to sneak into Brother Sanhuang's mansion. I didn't expect him to be able to steal the parrot out."
"Brother Huang, trust me, how dare I attack you! It's too late for me to run away!"
Yu Qiu felt as if she was floating on a cloud, and her feet were so soft that she couldn't touch the bottom. She could just fall asleep like this, but the rambunctious rambling voice was too harsh, and it pierced her brain like a silver needle, forcing her to wake up.
She was forced to return to the cage, moved her fingers, realized that she was lying on the bed, opened her eyes with difficulty, and turned towards the direction of the sound. Through a bead curtain, two figures could be vaguely seen.
It was Yun Heng and Yun Lang.
Yun Heng's voice was much lower, and after he seemed to say something, Yun Lang left.
The room fell silent, Yu Qiu slowed down her breathing, and still lay still, she still hadn't figured out what was going on.It looks like she passed out because of... because of the blood.
No, that blood is from Yun Heng's body, her hands are full of Yun Heng's blood...
She suddenly sat up on the bed, and raised her hands in front of her eyes. What caught her eyes was a pair of white hands with slightly red fingertips. She opened her fingers and looked closely, and there was not even a trace of blood in the gaps between her fingers, as if she was justHad a dream.
The bead curtains made a soft knocking sound, Yun Heng walked in, sat down by the bed, touched her face and said, "I'm so scared that my face turned pale, are you really so timid?"
Yu Qiu saw that he had changed his clothes, and the corners of his mouth drooped. He gently touched his right arm and felt the bandaged gauze under his clothes.
"A little injury." Yun Heng said indifferently.
With red eyes, Yu Qiu leaned against him and asked in a low voice, "Did His Highness the Fifth Highness send someone to hurt you?"
Before Yu Qiu woke up, Yun Heng had been thinking for a long time beside the bed. The guards were originally Yun Lang's subordinates, but they might not have been made by Yun Lang.Yun Lang can only make trouble, there is no reason to do so.
What's more, he is young, and he has only been out of the palace to own his own mansion for half a year. It is hard to say who the people under him recognize as the master.
"No." Yun Heng replied, "It's probably Yun Po, or...it's okay, I'll take care of it."
Yu Qiu listened carefully, the last sentence suddenly disappeared, Yun Heng smiled and kissed her on the forehead, and said, "I can't talk to you for now." He changed the subject suddenly, and said, "I'll help Aqiu get dressed."
Yu Qiu's cuffs were stained with blood, Yun Heng specially asked the maid to change her clothes, and now she was sitting on the bed with only a layer of underwear on.
After Yun Heng finished speaking, he half-hugged her and wanted to pick her up. The soft silk underwear on Yu Qiu's body was so thin, and his huge palms stuck to her, as if they were directly covering the skin.
Yu Qiu shuddered, she felt that Yun Heng seemed to have changed something, just holding her, the movements of his hands moved slowly and lingeringly, making her heart tremble.
She didn't have time to think about anything else, and struggled while covering her skirt, "I don't need you, you go out..."
She wanted to push Yun Heng away, but she was afraid of touching his injured arm, she was too timid to push hard, she was so anxious that she was about to sweat.
The two argued for a while, seeing tears welling up in Yu Qiu's eyes and his complexion returning to rosy, Yun Heng let go and called the maid.
It was getting late, and after getting dressed, Yun Heng sent Yu Qiu home.
Just after leaving the room, Yun Lang came again. He first expressed condolences to Yu Qiu, and then said, "Brother Huang, where is my parrot? Return it to me soon. When I have had enough fun, someone can secretly send it back to the Three Emperors."Brother."
"I'm keeping the parrot."
Yun Lang was dissatisfied, "The parrot was stolen by me. I originally planned to play it for a few days and then return it, so I can't give it to you!"
Yun Heng turned a blind eye to him and led Yu Qiu out. Yun Lang blocked the way in panic again, "If you don't pay me back, I will die a miserable death when Brother San Huang comes back and settles accounts with me!"
Yun Heng's voice was very gentle, "I can also make you die a miserable death."
Yun Lang choked, unable to speak to Yun Heng, and turned to Yu Qiu for help, "Sister-in-law, look at him bullying me again..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Heng called the guards to take him back.
"Why did you snatch his parrot?" Yu Qiu asked.
Yun Heng replied very smoothly: "In order for you to teach it to speak."
Knowing that he was making fun of what she said earlier, Yu Qiu shook his hand embarrassingly, "Don't always bully me."
Yun Heng gave her a questioning look, but Yu Qiu pretended not to see it.
Because of the accident, before Yunheng had time to place the bird, the maids did not dare to make arbitrary decisions, and waited obediently in the corridor for Yunheng to speak.
The goose-yellow fur on the top of the parrot's head becomes darker as it goes down. When it reaches the cheeks, it turns orange-red, and the chest suddenly turns back to yellow, as if surrounded by a light yellow veil.Different shades of green.
It's not a rare breed, let alone beautiful, and it doesn't seem like something Yun Po would raise at all.
Yun Heng had slight doubts in his heart, took another look at the parrot, and asked Yu Qiu, "You really don't like it?"
Yu Qiu shook her head, she didn't like it or not, it was because she had never raised birds before, and she was afraid that it would not be good.
Yun Heng ordered: "Send it to Yun Lang."
The maid left at the sound, and Yun Heng took Yu Qiu out. However, the moment he turned around, he saw the maid staggered from the corner of her eye, and the bird cage shook accordingly. The parrot in the cage was frightened and flapped its fan.wings.
Yun Heng stopped suddenly and said, "Wait."
The maid didn't know why he changed his mind, and turned around in a panic, not daring to lift her head.
Yun Heng stretched his hand into the cage, and the parrot's sharp beak slammed towards his palm, and before it touched it, it was completely clamped in the palm of his hand.
He squeezed his five fingers together suddenly, kicked the parrot's hind legs, and calmed down immediately, without making a sound during the whole process.
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiu asked curiously.
Yun Heng didn't answer, and checked the parrot carefully, whether it was the sharp claws like iron hooks or the bright orange hard beak, then smiled slowly, and called the guards: "Keep it in the backyard, no orphanAccording to my orders, no one is allowed to come near."
"Why did you go back on your word again?" Yu Qiu didn't understand.
Yun Heng didn't understand her either, and asked, "Why do you think I'll let you teach it to talk when you see the parrot?"
Yu Qiu couldn't speak, so he grasped Yunheng's mind, and whispered accusations: "Because you like to embarrass people the most, you just want to watch me teach a stupid bird how to talk."
"Stupid bird?" The rest of Yun Heng didn't deny it, but only raised doubts about this one, "Who told you that it belonged to a stupid bird?"
"It doesn't know how to bark." Yu Qiuli replied confidently.
"This is the parrot that Yun Po got by accident. It looks ordinary on the outside, but its voice is extremely clear and melodious, no different from a human voice. It can be used for reciting poems, composing Fu or singing songs. Otherwise, why do you think Yun Lang wants people to go to the parrot?"Steal a parrot."
Yu Qiu became even more confused, "Then why doesn't it make any sound?"
Yun Heng said indifferently: "The tongue has been pulled out, how can I make a sound."
Having said that, the two of them had arrived at the gate of the mansion, where Yu Fu's servant girls were waiting.
Yun Heng found that Yu Qiu's mind wandered into the sky, and knew that she was like this every time she thought seriously, so she didn't intend to call her back to her senses at all.
This is his concubine who loves each other, he just hugs it, no one dares to say anything.
However, before touching Yu Qiu, she woke up by herself.
Yu Qiu remembered what Fuying said when she gave her the jade pendant in her previous life, saying that Yunheng lacked someone to teach the parrot to talk.When she arrived at the Crown Prince Residence, Yun Heng did indeed hand over the parrot to her.
After several months of teaching, the parrot did not learn to speak, and Yun Heng doubted whether she was serious about teaching.
Yu Qiu confirmed with Yun Heng in a trembling voice: "So... no matter how you teach it, it can't speak?"
Yun Heng nodded.
Yu Qiu gritted his teeth angrily, "You, you..."
Yun Heng didn't know why she was annoyed, she was full of things that she loved herself so much that she loved her so desperately, she stretched out her hand to pinch Yu Qiu's chin affectionately, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with me?"
Yu Qiu was very angry, worried that he was injured and couldn't hit him, but she couldn't breathe, and she felt aggrieved.
She endured and endured, and finally grabbed Yun Heng's hand, opened her mouth and bit down hard.
