Bondage

"Little bastard, why don't you go wild?"

The eunuch of Changxin Palace pointed at the bullies and yelled loudly, those people scattered and ran away without a trace.

The eunuch curled his lips and muttered that Concubine Jiang was not strict, and stepped forward to help the people on the ground up.

"Are you OK?"

"nothing."

The eunuch was hunched over, his waist bent badly, and he was wearing the lowest eunuch uniform in the palace, which was so dirty that he couldn't see it.Even his ankles and wrists were exposed, presumably no one changed his clothes.

There are different fates in the palace, and the treatment is also very different.If one's life is good enough to be appreciated by a palace lord, one may become a master, but if one is stupid and lazy and refuses to be entertained, it is no better than being in hell.

Song Wan looked at the eunuch's exposed hands and feet, and couldn't bear it.

His hands were covered with bruises and bloodstains, and there were countless small wounds exposed. The palms and backs of his hands were full of scars from repeated episodes of frostbite. One could tell at a glance that this person was a miserable person who had suffered all the year round and never had time to relax.

She had only seen such injuries in medical books in the past.

"Where do you work, why are you here?"

The little eunuch said: "My name is Ji Rong, and today I was ordered by the Prince of the East Palace to come to Yanqing Palace to fetch some things."

The eunuch of Changxin Palace explained: "They are all slaves who have never heard of their names. Presumably this group of little bastards lost money in a private bet and sent him to ask for money, so he was beaten with a sap."

Seeing the bullied eunuch nodding, Song Wan asked Heng Wu to give him two taels of silver: "If you really have no place to live in the palace, you can go to Changxin Palace to find my aunt."

It is true that he has old wounds on his body and he is not a fake, and his speech is not as smooth as an ordinary eunuch. This kind of person will definitely not be popular in the palace. Changxin Palace is not afraid of him being an extra eunuch, but to Ji Rong, it may be License to save a life.

Unexpectedly, when he heard the words, he just shook his head in a daze: "The young one works as an errand in the Eastern Palace."

"You little bastard, why don't you eat the fine wine when you toast."

Song Wan smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, as long as he has a place to settle down, and I also respect His Royal Highness, there is nothing wrong with being in the East Palace."

After saying this, Ji Rong and the eunuchs around Song Wan were all stunned.

The lord of the Eastern Palace was paralyzed for half a year, and the Crown Prince's honor was useless. Even if they, the eunuchs, mentioned the Eastern Palace, they would inevitably show disdain. They didn't expect a lady like Song Wan to say something about respecting the Crown Prince.

After all, the prince went to a neighboring country as a hostage when he was five years old, and when he came back he was a useless person, and he really had no sense of presence in the palace. On the contrary, the third prince born to her aunt was the hottest candidate for the next prince.

After Song Wan finished speaking, he turned and left, but Ji Rong murmured, "Why... respect the prince?"

Song Wan turned his head: "The king is the father of the heaven and the mother of the earth. The prince is born of the emperor. Naturally, he is as blessed as the emperor. They have blessed the people of the country for many years, so I respect the prince."

Ji Rong looked at Song Wanli's back and was surprised.

All the way back to the East Palace, he saw that the entire East Palace was no different from the Leng Palace, not to mention cold and lonely, and the maids and eunuchs were also very loose.

"Where did you go? The thing inside peed on the couch again, so hurry up and clean it up."

Seeing him come back, a court lady sitting in front of the East Palace bedroom urged him sharply, and Ji Rong walked in dully upon hearing this.

The prince's bedroom, which was bright yellow everywhere, was filled with a foul smell. He walked to the golden couch, looked at the sunken cheeks, and looked at the emaciated prince, and said, "It's not like you suffered a crime in vain. Someone still misses you." That credit."

It is just an excuse to say that the blessings are thick and long.

The national power of the imperial court is weak, so sending a five-year-old child as a hostage to a neighboring country is a great shame.Today, the Holy Majesty traded the prince's order for ten years of peace, but when the prince returns to court, what greets him is not honor and favor, but contempt.

Just because the crown prince lives for a day, the entire imperial court, from the emperor to the ministers, has to bear the name of incompetence. No one can forget the unbearable fact that the crown prince lives in a day and trades the body of a child for the stability of the world.

Therefore, no one dared to say that the peace of these 12 years was given by the prince, and no one dared to say that he respected the prince.

Ji Rong looked at the prince whose eyes were cloudy and who was making hoo hoo unconsciously, helplessly helped him up, and changed his quilt neatly.

Everyone in the world was waiting for Dong Gong to die early, but they didn't want him to survive for eight years.

If it weren't for the fact that the third prince is still young and it is really difficult for the eldest prince to take on a big role, the Holy One might get rid of the prince sooner, so as to relieve his shame.

Song Wan's words today not only shocked Ji Rong, but even the eunuch in Changxin Palace felt sorry for him.

"Madam, don't mention that one again in the future."

Seeing him pointing to the east, Song Wan smiled and nodded.

The farce was over, and several people wandered around in the small garden of Yanqing Palace. She didn't see Concubine Jiang until she left.

Watching Jiang Xingjian come out, Song Wan saluted Concubine Jiang from a distance.

"Song Wan is acceptable."

Jiang Man fiddled with his broken nails with a blank expression on his face. The maid next to him heard the words and said, "Master, I have admired the daughters of the Song family since I was a child. Since the empress thinks that Song Wan is acceptable, why are you so good at beating mandarin ducks?"

"Why?"

Jiang Man sighed: "Because Song Yuning gave birth to the third prince, the Song family blocked the way of my palace."

"Old Hou Ye's border issue..."

Jiang Man raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of ambition: "It doesn't matter whether father is harmed by the Song family or not. The important thing is that the third prince will have a fight with my son in the future. It is still unknown whether the tiger will win or lose. I can't let Yi It's a little bit of a snack, and there is a slight possibility of soft-heartedness."

"And the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. If the two are destined not to have a good ending, it's better not to start at the beginning."

Jiang Man looked at Jiang Xingjian's back and made a low sound, and left when he saw him walk out of the hall.

Song Wan saw that after Jiang Xingjian came out of Yanqing Palace, the expression on Jiang Xingjian's face faded a bit, far from being as gentle and warm as before, she felt disappointed and felt a little helpless for a while.

Jiang Xingjian walked ahead with a sullen face, with struggle and pain hidden in his eyes.

He knew that Song Wan was innocent, but he also understood that she and the Song family were of one mind. If Song family hadn't planned ahead, there would be no Song Wan's prosperity behind.

The woman's mind is delicate and sensitive, seeing his indifferent appearance, Song Wan knew that Concubine Jiang must have said something.She looked at Jiang Xingjian and suddenly felt a little courageous.

He is her husband, she can't let the two of them remain so cold.

Song Wan's face was flushed, she pursed her lips and walked a few steps quickly.

She looked at Jiang Xingjian's hand for a long time before mustering up the courage to gently shake it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xingjian's arm froze, and after thinking for a moment, he shook her off and never looked back.
