dust song

increasingly westward.

In this forgotten corner of the palace, the warm autumn sun can only slant into an inch, but the mournful and cold wailing keeps echoing in the whole courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, the last gleam of afterglow dissipated, and it was time for "night to fall".

"...Well..." After Chu Lichen woke up from a coma, he found that his hands were tightly bound by iron chains, and his whole body was suspended in the air on a bronze frame. It must have been hung for a long time. The delicate wrist has been rubbed red.

"Where is this?" Chu Lichen lifted his eyelids weakly, and looked around the furnishings in the room. In addition to the willow-waist-thick bronze frame that tied him, there was also a bed, a low couch, and some Chu Lichen. Things that have never been seen before, each of which is nailed with four uniform lengths of iron chains, one can understand at a glance that the iron chains at these positions are used to bind people.

Chu Lichen subconsciously tugged on the iron chain in his hand, except for the rattling sound, he couldn't break free at all. He suddenly remembered the gloomy eyes of Li Nanny he had seen before he fell into a coma. A chill of disgust suddenly rose up Chen's spine. Could it be that he accidentally offended Nanny Li with his words?But even so, she doesn't need to treat herself like this.

Perhaps the sound of the iron chain just now had stimulated the people outside the door, and Nanny Li walked in with two other people dressed as nuns in an instant, each of them holding a whip full of burrs in their hands.

Seeing this situation, Chu Lichen couldn't help shivering, and struggled again and again: "Mother Li, if you have something to say, please speak up. If I offended you with my words before, please have a lot of them, please don't be offended."

Chu Lichen never expected that the skill of begging for mercy that he had learned on the streets of the capital would be used here today.

Nanny Li looked at Chu Lichen up and down with her round eyes full of wrinkles, "Master Chu, don't worry, you have never offended me, and you are not the only one who has been here before, as long as someone who has not entered the palace, Everyone has to come to this study room."

"Come here? What to do..."

Chu Lichen seemed to have a premonition that Nanny Li would not say anything to make him look good.

"People who come to the study room to be taught have only one purpose, and that is to learn how to serve and please the prince." Nanny Li waved the whip in her hand a few times as she spoke. Today I saw that the young master behaved inappropriately, so on this first day, I still want to ask the young master to remember what is superior and inferior."

"Serve...serve the bed!?" Chu Lichen twitched the corners of his mouth, emotional Li Nanny also regarded him as a male favorite, "Li Nanny, have you misunderstood? I am not a male favorite."

Nanny Li had an expression of disbelief at all, "Why don't you live in the wing room of the palace if it's not a male pet? Besides, didn't the prince also stay in the wing room last night? Mr. Chu, what can you explain?"

Chu Lichen really had ten mouths and couldn't tell clearly, "Mother Li, please listen to me first, first of all, the prince arranged for me to live there, and secondly, the prince himself wanted to sleep in my place last night, and he didn't touch me. .Finally, the prince said in the main hall yesterday that I was only allowed to stay to relieve his boredom."

Nanny Li sneered, still beating the whip in her hand, "Don't please and relieve boredom have the same meaning? Otherwise, what does Mr. Chu think to relieve boredom?"

"Just... just to accompany the prince to eat, sleep...to sleep?" Chu Lichen was stunned after finishing speaking, and then hurriedly argued: "That's not sleeping."

"Mr. Chu's words are interesting. You come to the palace to eat and sleep with the prince, but you don't sleep. Do you think you come to the palace to be the young master?"

Chu Lichen was choked up by Li Nanny's words, and after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. Could it be that what Murong Chengdu said before also meant this?Forget it, let's think of a way to fool Nanny Li first, so he rolled his eyes and his heart fluttered with the whip: "That man named Siwen also came?"

Nanny Li was taken aback, she couldn't figure out why Chu Lichen still had the heart to ask this question at such a time.

"Mr. Siwen was given to our prince by the king, so naturally he doesn't need to enter the study room."

"Isn't there still an exception to this? Look, Madam Li, I'm not a man's favorite either, so let's save it."

Chu Lichen suddenly realized that Siwen was bestowed by the king, no wonder Li Nanny only saluted him, he took the opportunity to tug on the chain in his hand while speaking, and found that the chain was firmly nailed to the bronze frame, and could not be pulled by human power alone of.

Nanny Li saw the movements in Lichen's hands clearly, and the gleam in her eyes flashed, "Young Master Chu, don't spend too much time talking with the old man, the servants of the palace will not set foot in the study room at will, so even if Young Master Chu wants to Whether you struggle or cry, no one will hear you."

"Li Nanny, you are being a little unreasonable. I told you that I... hiss..." Before she could finish speaking, Li Nanny swung a whip at Chu Lichen, and the whip hit him. The little thorn went through the clothes and pierced into the flesh, blood was already visible in just one stroke, Chu Lichen's face turned pale from the pain immediately, it hurts, it really hurts, it hurts more than being hit by a fist.

"From now on, the old man wants to remind you, as Mr. Chu, you can't call yourself 'I'."

Enduring the pain in his body, Chu Lichen gritted his teeth and gasped, "It was the prince's permission..."

"Pa—" Another lash of the whip came out involuntarily, "Young Master Chu, lying is not a good habit."

It has to be said that after being whipped twice by others, there is no expression on his face. The people in the Prince Regent's House are indeed lunatics.

Chu Lichen glared fiercely at Nanny Li, gritted his teeth and said every word: "I didn't lie."

Nanny Li was obviously irritated by Chu Lichen's expression, she pointed a whip at Chu Lichen fiercely, and scolded: "You are so stubborn, even Mr. Siwen dare not call himself me in front of the lord, how can the lord do that?" A license to you, Mr. Chu? A mere beggar dares to lie in front of the old man? Today, the old man will teach the young master a lesson for the prince!"

After Madam Li finished speaking, she winked at the two people beside her, and then the three raised their whips together, and mercilessly whipped Chu Lichen a few times, and the whip wounds immediately spread all over Chu Lichen's body On the chest and thighs, the wounds were also ripped apart.

Chu Lichen's back felt a layer of cold sweat from the pain, and his hair was a mess.Is it possible that because he is a beggar, he should be suspected of lying?Now Chu Lichen couldn't bear it anymore, anyway, if he was going to be beaten, he might as well scold him, "You guys are really sick."

The corners of Li Nanny's eyes twitched a few times, she lifted up her sleeves and laughed angrily, "I hope you can still speak later."

The whip hit his body one after another, blood and flesh splattered but he couldn't breathe. Chu Lichen wanted to cry out the pain, but he had experienced it before and knew that as long as he made a sound, the perpetrator would only become more and more excited.

There was already a fishy sweetness in Chu Lichen's throat, and he couldn't hear anything except the sound of the whip hitting the flesh.

He obviously didn't lie, and he just wanted to live a good life. Chu Lichen thought that he would be able to live a life full of food and clothing, but what was waiting for him was such a severe beating.

Coming to the Prince Regent's Mansion for three days, beating and cursing is no easier than being a beggar.

Sure enough, there will be no pies in the sky...

After Murong Chengdu came back from the palace, his complexion was always bad.In the court hall this morning, his elder brother has been intentionally or unintentionally instigating the officials to persuade him to accept the concubine, even when he was left in the palace for dinner at noon, he still did not forget to mention this matter, what a joke, if their wish is fulfilled , At that time, I really don't know whether to marry the concubine, or come back with an eyeliner.

What's more, who does Murong Chengdu want to marry, and when will he get other people's beak?

"Shao Lin, go and ask the dining room to prepare some food. The food made by the royal chef in the palace is really hard for me to swallow." Murong Chengdu pinched the corners of his eyes. Compared with his calculating brother Wang, he was willing to follow Hui Chao Chu Lichen, who grinned his teeth, ate together.

"Where's Chu Lichen?" Murong Cheng frowned and glanced sideways at the empty wing.

The guard on duty in the hall reported back: "Go back to the lord, Mr. Chu was taken away by Nanny Li early in the morning, and he hasn't come back until now. I don't know where he went."

Shao Lin stroked his chin, and said casually: "Could it be that he was taken to 'that place'?"

Murong Chengdu's eyes suddenly felt cold, "Who will allow her to make her own claims!"
