Brother Donggong

"Brother Yi..." Yuezheng's eyes were like shriveled grapes, and he had no energy at all. He choked up a mouthful of blood when he said a word.

I quickly blocked his wound and begged him incoherently, "Stop talking, baby, don't talk,..."

"Brother Yi,...it hurts..."

It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!If I hadn't believed in Wen Zhan, listened to the slander, and insisted on saving Yuezheng, he wouldn't have been assassinated, and I wouldn't have pushed him to Yin Wangchuan, without these free arrows flying all over the sky, Yin Wangchuan wouldn't throw him over just for me, he wouldn't be pierced by a sharp arrow!

it's all my fault……

it's all my fault……

It was my fault!

God, why wasn't it me who died? ! !

Someone pressed my shoulder, I looked up in panic, and saw Yin Wangchuan was holding two broken long arrows in his hands, his arms, legs, shoulders, and body were covered with blood, he looked down at me , "Throw him away, I'll take you away!"

I subconsciously shook my head, shaking like a rattle.

"No... no, it's me, it's all my fault... my fault..."

Without saying a word, Yin Wangchuan pulled the zither from my arms and threw it out. I hugged his leg and cried so hard that I couldn't say anything. I could only shake my head desperately. Then, I slowly took a breath, "Please, give him to me, he is not dead yet, he is still warm! Give him to me!"

Yin Wangchuan shook his head, "With him, we won't survive!"

Me, "Then let me die, let me die!"

However, the arrows flying all over the sky suddenly stopped, and the surroundings were lifeless, and there were crows in the distance, screaming strangely, rushing out of the jungle and straight into the sky.

On the tidal flat at the end of the sand and rocks, a snow-white king flag was raised, reflecting the sparkling river water, and above it was a black eagle—Wen Zhan’s snow eagle flag!

Yin Wangchuan's whole body softened, he supported the tree trunk with his hands, returned the zither to me, lowered his head and asked, "He's here, will you follow me, or go back to Yongjing with him?"

Holding the zither in my arms, I felt that his small and soft body became more and more quiet, as if I myself died with him.I replied to him, "I'll stay here, you should leave quickly. Go far away, go back to Kunlun, and never step into Dazheng's territory again, otherwise, he will kill you."

Yin Wangchuan, "What about you?"

I shook my head, "I don't know..."

The sound of a whistle came from a distance. This is the secret whistle of Wen Zhan's army, but I can understand the message, which means that they have found us.Yin Wangchuan dropped all the broken arrows, performed lightness kung fu, and flew away.

I was taken back like this.

Yuezheng has been lying in my arms all the way to the East Palace.

Wen Zhan stood on the nine stone steps with a gloomy expression.

He took the kite away from me, and the doctors from the Imperial Hospital who had been waiting there rushed up and carried the kite into the palace, and the carved door slowly closed behind them.

I wanted to go there too, but Wen Zhan stood in front of me.

He stretched out his hand, pointed to the huge stone bricks on the ground, and said, "Kneel down." I looked at him, and slowly knelt down on my knees.He looked at me blankly, turned and left, followed those imperial physicians into the main hall of Yuzheng Palace.

In the evening, the sky started to rain heavily, as if it wanted to wash away the gloomy and uncertain Yongjing City.

I kneel down for three days.

I can no longer wake up, in a trance, I seem to collapse on the ground, crawling on the stone bricks, there is a person next to me, holding an umbrella for me, I opened my eyes with difficulty, it turned out to be a cucumber.In the early morning of the fourth day, before dawn, the gate of Yuzheng Palace opened to both sides, and the prince walked out quickly.

When he came to me, the prince grabbed me by the collar, pulled me up, and said through gritted teeth, "Yuezheng woke up, he said he wanted to see you."

I couldn't restrain my teeth from chattering, I opened my eyes wide and looked at him hard, wanting to nod.

But I heard him say, "But I can't let you see him again! Chengyi, you almost killed him, you almost killed me, do you know that?! He always treats you like his own brother, but you, you I just took it as a substitute for your son who had no chance of surviving!"

boom! ——

He threw me to the ground.

Then he said to Liu Congrong behind him, "Take the family law!"

"Your Highness!" Liu Congrong knelt down, "He knew he was wrong, please show mercy, don't punish him now. He has been kneeling for three days, and he didn't even get a drop of water. If he gets beaten again, he might hurt himself!"

Wen Zhan turned his face slightly, and someone beside him had already fetched the rattan whip, knelt down on the ground, and offered it with both hands.

One whip, two whips, three whips...

I bit my lower lip and never moaned even if I vomited blood.I know I deserve what I did, and I don't even have the face to beg Wen Zhan for forgiveness.The silence outside the main hall of the Eastern Palace seems to be a tomb, so the sound of the whipping on my back is particularly clear, like the death knell of Dazheng Qishan Shrine, one, two, three... one year, ten years, 100 years.

Really long.

The long ones seem to be able to grow vines, entangle my feet, and drag me directly to the eighteenth floor of hell.

Wen Zhan's attacks became more and more ruthless, and my whole body seemed to be broken.

Cucumber kept crying by my side. He wanted to jump over to take the punishment instead of me, but he was pinned down by two strong men, unable to move.

Finally, Liu Congrong knelt down at Wen Zhan's feet with a thud, kowtowed and kowtowed, "I beg Your Highness to show mercy, stop beating, if you continue to beat me, I will kill you, Your Highness, Your Highness!!"

Liu Congrong kowtowed like a lunatic, the sound was booming, like the sound of gongs and drums before the start of a big show, like the half of a rainstorm.

Then, Wen Zhan stopped.

I climbed on the stone slab and could no longer get up.

Wen Zhan came over, and he stretched out his fingers, which were so hot, he still gently lifted my hair and pinned them behind my ears as before.

He leaned down and whispered like a lover.

"Chengyi, I won't force you anymore, and I won't love you anymore, but...you can't escape,...stay in Yongjing, no matter whose son you are, no matter who you are, you were born Yong Jing, then..."

"If you die, you will die in Yongjing!"
