bastard returns

Pang Qiushui's leg is useless.

This is a very logical thing, Pang Qiushui was sent by the empress, and the executioner was also a palace servant from the palace, who used a two-inch and five-foot-long wooden plank. There was no softness at all, sticks to the meat, after the thirty boards were finished, Pang Qiushui was also unconscious, and Si Kongxu didn't find a doctor for her immediately, but waited until the wedding banquet was over and all the guests were gone. , Only then did I find the imperial doctor and go through a cutscene.

Originally, according to Sikong Xu's thoughts, Pang Qiushui was so useless and had such a terrifying face, he was no longer suitable to be his concubine. After receiving [-] strokes and bleeding a lot, Pang Qiushui managed to survive. Unfortunately, both his legs were broken. Even if he could stand up in the future, he would only be crippled.

As a princess and concubine, her face and legs are also crippled, as if she was just a cripple, so Sikong Xu sent someone to move her to the most remote room in the backyard, leaving only an old woman watching her, watching her every day. He gave her some food, and made it clear that he didn't want to care about her life. It was best to die quickly. He also had a legitimate reason to ask this ugly monster.

But how can Pang Qiushui's temperament be willing to be put under house arrest here to fend for himself.

She is the daughter-in-law of the Changshenghou Mansion. Even if her family is not wealthy, she has been spoiled and raised all the way. What's more, her father has done so many things for Sikong Xu, and her position in the court is becoming more and more stable, but Sikong Xu is like this Treat her like a wolf!

She had to find a way to get out, she had to tell her father about her situation, and she had to make his father deal with Sikong Xu severely!

So from the moment she was able to sit up on the bed, Pang Qiushui wanted to escape outside all the time, but it was a pity that her body was seriously injured. It was difficult for her to even stand up, and the woman Sikong Xu sent to watch her was not a kind person, she watched her very closely, even if Pang Qiushui crawled out of the house when the woman was not there, she still crawled. It won't be long before she will be carried back by the mother-in-law, and then she will be slapped in the face, and there will be nothing to eat at night.

Pang Qiushui was almost pissed off several times by the prince and concubine who was marrying from a dignified family, but fortunately she still had some brains, and after knowing that it was impossible to escape with her own strength, Pang Qiushui He also settled down, and from time to time he flattered the caretaker woman.

Seeing that Pang Qiushui had become sensible, the woman seemed to have no intention of running away, so she didn't look as closely as before. However, she was also afraid that Pang Qiushui would cheat, so she deliberately kept her hand and often left the house. She hid aside to see if Pang Qiushui would take the opportunity to slip away. After several times, she found that Pang Qiushui really didn't flee, and Bian Ye was really relieved.

In fact, she didn't know that Pang Qiushui was just waiting for an opportunity.

Pang Qiushui understood that with her body that could not even stand firmly, it was absolutely impossible to escape, it would be better to heal her injuries first and wait for the opportunity, she believed that the moment she really escaped would be the time for Sikong Xu to suffer retribution.

Since the incident at the wedding, of course Pang Song also cared about his daughter very much, and visited him several times, but every time Sikong Xu used the excuse that he was being ordered by his father to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, and it was inconvenient to see the guests. He blocked back, even though Pang Song was angry, he couldn't help it. After all, he was the one who concealed Pang Qiushui's disfigurement and let him marry Si Kongxu first. Now that things have become like this, he can't say anything.

That evening, an unexpected visitor came to the mansion of Han Tao, the commander of the imperial guards.

There was an imperial decree from the palace, saying that the emperor would go to the eastern suburbs for spring hunting. Because the hunting ground had not been opened for a long time, Han Tao took his men and horses to clean up the ground, but they were not in the mansion. When the servants came to pass the message, only Pang Chunyan was there. Pang Chunyan frowned after reading the greeting card from the servant, "What is he here for?"

After a pause, she then said: "Go and go back to the man for me, and say that the master is not in the mansion, and I am a woman, and it is inconvenient for me to see guests, so I will send him back."

"The little one just said that." The servant said: "But he said that he didn't come to see the master, but to see the madam, and he said that there are some things that the madam will definitely be interested in."

Pang Chunyan rolled her eyes and couldn't make up her mind for a while, but she wanted to sit at home by herself, and even if the other party had malicious intentions, something could happen, something she was interested in... "Then invite someone in."

The servant immediately took orders, Pang Chunyan straightened her clothes, and just sat down in the main hall when she saw Ning Yuan walked in led by the servant.

"I'm not very familiar with Mr. Ning, and it's getting late, so I don't want to be more polite to you. You should speak up when you have something to say. It's better not to waste time." Pang Chunyan said straight to the point.

"Mrs. Han is quite straightforward. Actually, if it's not something really important, I don't want to bother you." Ning Yuan picked a chair and sat down on the side, and said slowly: "I came today because I wanted to Tell Madam about your sister."

"News from Qiushui?" Pang Chunyan, who had a lazy expression, immediately straightened up when she heard this.

She was also there on the day Pang Qiushui got married, and she naturally knew what happened to Pang Qiushui. These days, the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion is closed, and no news can come out, so she doesn't know the situation of her sister at all. Her father was still hesitant to tear herself apart with Sikong Xu, which really made her anxious.

"Lingmei seems to be in a very bad situation now. I heard it from hearsay, and it's really unbelievable." Ning Yuan shook his head regretfully while speaking, "At any rate, she is also the prince and concubine. If she made a small mistake, the empress will punish her as well." However, he was imprisoned in the backyard by His Royal Highness, lacking clothes and clothes, and not even a doctor, and even the servants can wantonly trampled on him, how can this continue..."

"What did you say!" Pang Chunyan suddenly stood up from the chair, her face was full of disbelief, "You said, but, it's true!" After a pause, she seemed to remember something again, "It's really a school Nonsense, my sister is the prince and concubine, and the Fourth Highness also needs my father's help. How could it be possible to treat my sister like this, and the news about my sister is not even heard by my father. How do you know? I think you did it on purpose You want to provoke the relationship between my Pang family and His Royal Highness, that's why you say that, right or wrong!"

"Madam Han can think whatever she wants. I just came to the door and told what I knew because I felt sorry for the princess after hearing about it. Madam Han can choose to believe it or not. It doesn't matter, I've finished speaking now, and I won't disturb Mrs. Han's rest, so I'll go first." After speaking, Ning Yuan didn't care about Pang Chunyan's expression, and got up and walked out slowly, walking back and forth. One side said: "There is an old saying that is good, it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. If Mrs. Han is really suspicious, I can let you see your sister's current situation, but it will be a little risky, Mrs. Han If you can trust me, let's meet at the gate of the Chenghuang Temple not far from the Fourth Prince's Mansion at midnight tonight."

After speaking, Ning Yuan stepped out of the room without looking back.

Pang Chunyan stood there without moving. She put her hands into her sleeves, clutching a handkerchief, and seemed to be trembling. She didn't want to believe Ning Yuan, but she really cared about Pang Qiushui's safety until the personal maid came to inform him It was time to eat, and she came back to her senses. She replied dully, glanced into the empty room, and then turned away.

Late that night, a carriage stopped at the gate of the Chenghuang Temple, which had long been closed.

At night like this, there were already no pedestrians on the street, and there were only two dimly lit lanterns at the entrance of the Town God's Temple. The people in the carriage hesitated for a while, and then walked down with the help of a maid.

The night was very cold, Pang Chunyan put on a cloak outside, she looked around, but she didn't see Ning Yuan's figure.

The maid who came with her was a little hairy, and whispered: "Madam, it's too gloomy here, let's go back, this servant still thinks it would be better to tell Pang Da about this, we came here in the middle of the night without authorization, it's really... ..."

"Do you think that if you tell father, father will help? You don't know father's attitude towards the fourth prince's residence recently." Pang Chunyan scolded the maid, "Father is only thinking about not wanting to tear himself apart with the fourth prince, how can he do that?" No matter how much you worry about my sister, if I tell my father about this matter, not only will my sister's condition not be detected, maybe my father will stop me in turn. If what Ning Yuan said today is true, wouldn't my sister be even more ashamed? The ground is dead!"

"But... but at least we should wait for the master to come back before making up our minds together..." The maid said evasively, "Madam comes out in the middle of the night, if others find out, the reputation..."

"It's midnight, and there are no pedestrians on the road, who knows." Pang Chunyan stretched out her finger and nodded on the maid's head, "Besides, the master is helping the emperor clean up the hunting ground, and he won't be back for a few days. Not so long."

The maid saw that she couldn't speak to Pang Chunyan, so she fell silent and stopped talking. Pang Chunyan walked on the spot, and when it was almost midnight, she saw a figure coming from a distance.

Ning Yuan was carrying a lantern, and put on a cloak that fully covered most of his face. When he saw Pang Chunyan, he grinned, "I thought Madam wouldn't come."

"If it wasn't for my sister, do you think I would take the risk to go to your appointment?" Pang Chunyan snorted, "Don't talk nonsense, the fourth prince's residence has been closed for a long time to thank guests, and even as my father, I can't get in , what means do you have for me to see my sister."

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, madam, come with me, you will know when the time comes." Ning Yuan was also unambiguous, and immediately turned and walked towards the direction of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Pang Chunyan could only follow behind .

Tonight is also strange, places like the Prince's Mansion, even in the middle of the night, there are usually guards outside the walls, but recently, the surroundings are empty, there is not even a guard, not only that, even the Prince's Mansion Outside the back door, there are no soldiers guarding the door.

Several people stopped in front of the scarlet back door, Ning Yuan did not knock on the door, but imitated the cuckoo's chirping a few times.

The sound was not loud, but because Ning Yuan yelled from inside, it spread far away. After a while, there was only a click of the door from inside, and then the latch was pulled open, and a stern man with the appearance of a guard came out. It was Sikong Xu's guard who led Gao Feng.

Gao Feng frowned, his eyes swept over Ning Yuan first, then fell on Pang Chunyan, and asked in a low voice, "Is that her?"

Ning Yuan nodded, "I will trouble Guard Gao tonight."

Gao Feng didn't speak, but frowned more tightly, turned around and walked in, Ning Yuan followed slowly, signaling Pang Chunyan to follow, Pang Chunyan was still surprised that Ning Yuan was able to connect with the guards in the prince's mansion , She didn't even think about lying to her, worrying about Pang Qiushui, she asked the maid to stay outside and followed quickly.

It's just that she didn't notice that the moment she entered the back door, at the corner of the alley not far away, the silhouette of a man was vaguely revealed, hiding in the dark, staring at her back.

The clouds that were originally floating in the sky suddenly parted, revealing half of the moon's face. The soft moonlight slanted down and landed on the man's face, reflecting a face that contained anger.

It turned out to be Han Tao.

On the other side, after entering the Prince's Mansion through the back door, Gao Feng led Ning Yuan and Pang Chunyan, instead of walking along the road, he stepped into the flower bed full of tree shadows, hiding behind a group of plants and slowly Walk forward slowly.

"I have specially arranged for the guards near the back door, and they have been sent away, but it's better to be careful. I don't want to cause trouble for myself because of your affairs." Gao Feng said in a deep voice as he walked: " At this time, His Highness has already rested, so the guards in the mansion are looser, and the concubine is under house arrest in a side courtyard in the backyard, you follow me."

"What, house arrest!" Pang Chunyan exclaimed immediately after hearing this, "Qiu Guoguo is really under house arrest!"

Gao Feng turned around and glared at her. She also realized that her voice was a little louder, and she hurriedly shut her mouth for fear of attracting others, but her eyes were already full of anger.

The Prince's Mansion is large in scale, and the three of them walked around for a while before entering the "backyard side courtyard" mentioned by Gao Fengkou. To put it bluntly, this is the place where the sundries of the Prince's Mansion are piled up. Several dilapidated houses are scattered in the yard in a mess. It seemed that no one was living there, only a wooden house in the corner was still lit with weak lights, and it seemed that someone was inside.

Gao Feng brought the two of them to the back of the house. There was a window that was not closed tightly, leaving a gap, so you could see the situation inside the house clearly. Pang Chunyan took a closer look and saw Pang Qiushui's dirty body. Vice, lying on the only wooden bed in the room with disheveled hair.

Pang Qiushui looked really embarrassed. She didn't know how many days she had worn the clothes. It was covered with stains, even blood stains. Pang Chunyan seemed to be able to smell the stench emanating from Pang Qiushui's body through a window. .Pang Qiushui closed his eyes, but did not fall asleep, his lips were constantly pursed, and his hands kept stroking his stomach, as if he was waiting for something.

This scene made Pang Chunyan's eyes warm. Just as she was about to give birth, the door of the wooden house was pushed open with a creak. Then, an old woman in coarse linen came in and spoke very rudely to Pang Qiu who was lying on the bed. Shui Dao: "Get up, eat!"

Have a meal?Pang Chunyan was taken aback for a moment, now that the time has passed, what else is there to eat, could it be... Pang Qiushui's dinner at this time?

She doesn't have dinner until this hour! ?

Looking at the things that the woman brought out, Pang Chunyan became even more angry. It was a palm-sized bowl, half a bowl of dark brown rice, covered with a few green leaves, and I don't know when it was made. Yes, the leaves are a little yellowed.

This is something for people to eat too!

Pang Qiushui used to live a life of luxury at home, but now he is a prince and concubine, no matter how you look at it, he is even worse than a servant!

Pang Chunyan thought that Pang Qiushui would not eat the food brought out by the old woman, but she was obviously wrong, and saw Pang Qiushui propped up with both hands, slowly climbed out of bed, lying on the ground, and actually took it up. That dinner was eaten up.

Seeing her as if she couldn't stand up, Pang Chunyan's eyes immediately became wet, because the woman was still in the room, she couldn't startle the snake, so she could only lower her voice and say to Gao Feng: "This strong man, the princess concubine, she ...what happened to her legs?"

"I'm afraid it's useless after [-] boards." Gao Feng said coldly: "Now that you've seen it, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. You might be discovered. It's better to leave first."

Pang Chunyan still wanted to speak, but she heard Ning Yuan say: "If Ma'am wants to save her sister from suffering, it's time to make a long-term plan. If someone finds out about our whereabouts, I'm afraid the life of the princess will be even more difficult."

Pang Chunyan thought about it for the same reason, she could only grit her teeth, and followed the peak and returned from the original road.

Back outside the prince's mansion again, Pang Chunyan said nothing, but bowed to the two of them and hurried away with the maid. is you."

Which Gao Feng's expression was not very good-looking, "I told you last time in Yanzhou, I only did that one time, why did you come to me again?"

"I just found you, but you are the one who promised to help you." Ning Yuan smiled, "Thinking about the things I told you, you have more or less verified it, and naturally you know your master What kind of person are you, I see that you are also a man who values ​​etiquette and righteousness, do you want to continue to follow him like this and continue to work for tigers?"

"Although what you said is correct, His Highness has also been kind to me." Gao Feng said with a suppressed voice.

"Whether it's sincere or just a way to buy people's hearts, you should know better than me." Ning Yuan covered his mouth and chuckled a few times, leaving Gao Feng in a daze, then turned and left.

When he walked around the corner, he suddenly saw a tall man standing against the wall. Ning Yuan was taken aback. After seeing the man's face clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Didn't you just go back and rest?" , What are you doing here again, it really shocked me."

"I don't worry about you, so come and take a look." Hu Yanyuanchen took two steps closer, glanced up and down at Ning Yuan, and seemed to find no signs of injury, so he nodded, and then said as if asking for credit: "Then Han Tao before She has been lurking not far from the back door of the Prince's Mansion, and just left."

"He really came?" Ning Yuan's eyes lit up.

"You've already figured out this way, how can he not come, let alone him, if it were me, if I heard the news, even if I knew it might be a trap, I'm afraid I'd share it." One side said, He also tapped Ning Yuan's forehead lightly, "After all, every man is afraid of being cuckolded."

Ning Yuan touched his forehead, but he was not angry, and looked back at the tall courtyard wall of the Prince's Mansion, "The seeds have already been sown, and then they have to grow them themselves. Sometimes, jealousy and suspicion, yes The fastest-growing thing in the world, I hope Han Tao can compete with it and don't let me down."

Pang Chunyan rode back home in a carriage and was suffocating all the way. Thinking of the scene she had just witnessed with her own eyes, she wished she could rush back to her mother's house to find Pang Song for comment.

But when she thought about Pang Song's attitude towards Sikong Xu, she became discouraged again.

If Pang Song didn't want to fall out with Sikong Xu at all, but let Pang Qiushui's status quo go, then what should she do?At that time, not only can't Pang Qiushui be rescued, but it might make Sikong Xu more vigilant, and Pang Qiushui's condition will get worse. She only has this younger sister. Could it be that she is going to live in the fourth prince's residence like this? !

After returning to the mansion, Pang Chunyan was also in a state of confusion, untied the cloak and threw it to the maid indiscriminately, and wanted to go back to the room to rest. As soon as one opened the door of the bedroom, a tall figure walked up to him, and then she just Feeling a blur in front of my eyes, I have been slapped to the ground by a loud slap.

Pang Chunyan's eyes were pitch black, and her ears were filled with the sound of thunder. She lay on the ground and hadn't regained her composure, when a sharp pain came from her head. Drag her into the house.

Enduring the pain, she looked up at the person who beat him, and couldn't help exclaiming: "What are you doing, Mr. Xiang, let me go!"

Han Tao's face was dark, and his iron armor hadn't been removed. It was obvious that he had just come back from the outside not long ago. Pang Chunyan was still wondering why Han Tao, who was supposed to be out of the mansion, suddenly came back, and grabbed her without saying a word. What's the point of starting a fight!

"You bitch still have the guts to call me husband-in-law! I don't have a cheap daughter-in-law like you!" Pang Chunyan originally wanted to reason with Han Tao, but when Han Tao heard her words, he seemed to become more angry, and he didn't procrastinate anymore. He grabbed her hair on the spot, slapped her cheeks again, and began to bow left and right. The crackling slaps sounded endlessly, almost slapping Pang Chunyan to the point of fainting. When Han Tao stopped, Pang Chunyan had a face It was so swollen that it couldn't see its original face at all.
