The power of rebirth

Five years later.

A chubby little boy, with his fingers in his mouth, took small clumsy steps and struggled to climb up the tower, followed by several eunuchs.

"My prince's little ancestor, you can't come here casually. If the emperor finds out, you should be punished and not allowed to eat."

The little boy still persisted until he climbed to the top, panting heavily and staring around, until he saw a figure, the little boy ran over with a smile on his face.

On the city wall, catkins were flying, Shen Lin's long hair was bundled up, standing in the wind, stroking the crumbling city wall, squinting his eyes and looking at the sky a hundred miles away.

"Father...Father...Father Emperor" the little boy shouted at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin turned around upon hearing the sound, gave the little boy a cold look, then turned back again.

"Your majesty... this servant doesn't know that the emperor is here, but I still hope that the emperor will forgive me. This servant will take the prince down." As he spoke, the eunuch was about to pick up the child.

The little boy pushed the eunuch away, stumbled to the man's side, pulled out the hand in his mouth, grabbed Shen Lin's robe, raised his head and giggled, "Father...hug...hug"

Shen Lin was unmoved, and with a little force on his hands, the little boy fell to the ground, squatting with his big buttocks.

The little boy was helped up by the eunuch, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is not hurt, is he? You see that the palm of your hand is broken, and my servant will take you to bandage it."

The little boy frowned, struggled out of the eunuch's arms, and rubbed against Shen Lin's body. Seeing that Shen Lin's robe was stained with blood from his hands, he stretched out his hand and wiped it away. Dirty, the little boy blushed anxiously and finally held his little hands and cried softly.

Only then did Shen Lin turn his face around, and looked down at the little one with a stubborn grievance on his face, tears rolled in his eyes but he didn't dare to fall.His face was covered with ashes, and the white robe that the waiter had just put on in the morning was now gray. No matter how you look at it, Shen Lin finds it unpleasant, but why...

Shen Lin casually broke off a piece of adobe from the city wall and handed it to the crying little boy, "Eat it and it won't hurt..."

The little boy immediately widened his eyes, wiped his tears, took the adobe like a treasure, broke it in two, hid one piece in his sleeve, put the other piece on his nose to smell it, and then directly opened his mouth wide and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Woo...cough cough...ah" the boy the size of adobe sand grains chewed and cried, but refused to spit it out.

Shen Lin watched the little boy finish eating the adobe, and then sighed, "Fool..."

The little boy raised his head, and immediately shook his head, "No...no...not a fool, Ming Yang...no." Seeing that Shen Lin didn't speak, he took out a half-bitten osmanthus cake from his pants, and pulled Shen Lin's hand. Put your hand in the palm of your hand, "Eat...Father...Eat...sweet" Then danced and pointed to the half adobe, and pointed to the half-bitten osmanthus cake, "This...so...sweet. "

Shen Lin took the half piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and threw it directly on the ground, "Fool..." Then he turned and left.

The little boy looked at the crushed sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the ground, then at Shen Lin who was leaving, stretched out his hand to grab the broken pieces, took out a handkerchief to wrap it up, and then ran to chase after Shen Lin.

In the yard, Minghan was practicing sword, and his movements were a little big. The bandage on his back was soaked with blood after a while, but Minghan didn't intend to stop.It wasn't until seeing the eunuch walking in with Ming Yang in his arms that he put away his sword.

Seeing Ming Han, the little boy immediately hid his little hands behind his back, muttering something softly.

Minghan picked up the little boy and wiped the dirt off his mouth, then pulled out the injured little hand, with a look of pity, "Why did you fall down so carelessly?"

The little boy shook his head, "Daddy...it doesn't hurt Mingyang or Ming Yang."

"Where's your Uncle He?"

The little boy pouted and said, "There's a lot of wine." Then he took out another piece of adobe from his sleeve, "Father... Father gave it to...." As he said that, he was about to put it in his mouth.

Ming Han immediately knocked out the half of the adobe, and looked at the dull boy in his arms, "He bullied you again? He always loves to bully you..."

Minghan carried the little boy to the East Palace, and when he opened the door, he smelled alcohol, and Yan Yunhe was lying in the corner drunk and unconscious.

Ming Han wiped the boy's body, changed into clean clothes, and bandaged the wound, "He'll bully you too, so just let him bully you... Who else could he bully besides you? Who let him be you?" Where is the father..."

The little boy pointed at Minghan's back, "It hurts...Daddy...it hurts"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't matter."

At this time, there was a sound of pushing the door, Minghan turned his head and saw Shen Lin walking in with a box of pastries, and was a little surprised when he saw him.

"Why are you here...Didn't I say that you are not allowed to leave that yard?" Shen Lin casually put the pastry on the table, then glanced at Ming Han's back, "I still want to be whipped again."

Ming Han looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, put the child down, and walked up to Shen Lin, "I know you like this child in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't have given Ming Yang any cakes."

Shen Lin turned his back to him, "You think too much, I just came to see if he is dead!"

Ming Han stretched out his arms to embrace Shen Lin, "Shen Lin... Lin... How long has it been since I hugged you, let me hug you..."

Snapped!A slap fell on Minghan's face, "I think ten boards and ten whips a day haven't given you a long memory!"

Minghan smiled, and hugged him even tighter, "It's just a whip and blood, so what... Shen Lin, I miss you."

"If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you!" Shen Lin stared at Ming Han coldly.

Ming Han pressed Shen Lin against the wall with all his strength, lifted Shen Lin's robe with his hand, reached in and stroked the tight waist through the inner garment, "Shen Lin...I miss you."

"Let go..."

"Don't let go..."

"I kill you……"

Minghan tore off the tie, "Then... you come and kill." The underpants fell to the ground all of a sudden, and his hands were actually attached to the warm skin, and the touch stimulated Minghan. Holding the thin wrist with his hand, he hugged it by the waist.

Shen Lin kicked hard, Ming Han let out a muffled snort.

The little boy sat with his head tilted and ate osmanthus cake, took a sneak peek, and then giggled at them.

Shen Lin was pressed on the bed, and before he could take out the silver needle hidden in his sleeve, Ming Han tied his hands with a tie and tied them to the head of the bed.The mouth was blocked, and the smell of blood rose from the mouth as soon as he tried hard.The palm with countless scars cut by Shen Lin is vigorously rubbing every inch of him at this moment, rubbing every part of his cowardice, his body is weak, his breathing is short of breath, and he is wantonly put into a shy posture, back and forth .

Minghan's voice always sounded in the misty ears, "Shen Lin, I miss you, you miss me and I don't."

Shen Lin only felt that his hands were untied, and he touched the man's back, which was sticky and smelled faintly of blood.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Shen Lin opened his eyes, his eyelashes poking at Minghan's chest, his whole body was surrounded and he couldn't move.

"You're awake..." Ming Han lowered his head and kissed Shen Lin.

Clap!After two slaps across the face, Shen Lin tore off his clothes and wrapped them around his body, "Come here..."

As soon as the voice fell, a team of guards appeared in the room.

"Drag him to the ground, beat him with a hundred boards, and add a hundred whips. One beat will be executed immediately."

Minghan didn't resist, so he lay down on the ground and closed his eyes.

Clap clap!The plank fell with a sound, and the whip also swung down.The wound on the back hadn't fully healed after a night of tossing, but now it looked like it was completely exploded, the skin and flesh turned out, and the whip directly lashed the tender flesh turned out, making it a bloody mess.

Shen Lin put on his clothes, lay on his side on the bed, looked at Ming Han with cold sweat on his face, his veins were bulging from the pain, but he didn't make a sound, just stared at Shen Lin like this, saw Shen Lin looking at him , then smiled with difficulty, Shen Lin couldn't help frowning, "Drag it out and fight...I'm going to rest."

The people were quickly dragged out, and the blood-stained areas were quickly cleaned up and incensed. The blood-stained room just now exuded a soothing fragrance.I don't know if it's the effect of the incense or after being tossed around for most of the night, my body is really tired. Hearing the sound of boards outside the window, Shen Lin fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up again, he saw Mingyang's eyes were red and swollen from crying, kneeling on the ground with a small ruler in his hand, "Father...don't beat daddy, daddy is dying soon, Mingyang doesn't want daddy to die."

Shen Lin rubbed his head, the soreness in his body reminded him of what happened last night, he listened to the sound of the board as if it hadn't stopped, "Come here..."

"emperor……"

"Is that man dead?"

"If you go back to the emperor, because the old injury has not fully healed, you will pass out halfway through the beating. The emperor has ordered that the man be kept awake during the execution, so we will continue after he wakes up. This night is intermittent. Twenty whips and ten boards have not been beaten, and I will faint again."

Shen Lin put on his clothes and walked outside the hall, and saw Minghan lying on the ground naked, with dense new and old scars on his back, his skin was already torn, and his long hair was messily pasted on his pale face due to excessive blood loss.

"Take him back to the room, clean the wound, and wait for the rest of the board to heal before executing it."

The guard who executed the execution asked, "There are still [-] boards left this year, and [-] whips left. I don't know these..."

Shen Lin frowned, and there were still so many, "Old rules, twenty boards and twenty whips a day..."

"Yes……"

From a distance, Shen Lin saw Situ Qing approaching.

"If you're pleading for Ling Fengxiao, you can go back."

Situ Qing knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty...you are now the Emperor, as long as you promise to let him go, I will definitely take him to hide far away, so that the Emperor will not look at him."

Shen Lin helped Situ Qing up, "I know who Ling Fengxiao is better than you. If I let him go, I will die under his sword if I don't keep his back. He only has his master Ming Han in his heart, even if you... You can't hold him back either."

"emperor……"

Shen Lin waved his hand, "Needless to say, I have already promised you not to kill him, and let you visit him every day. This is already the biggest concession I have made."

two months later.

Minghan lay on the bed and his wound was almost slowly healing.

Shen Lin opened the door and came in, carrying a small pot, walked to the bed, "Drink it..."

Minghan took it without even thinking about it and drank it.

Shen Lin put away the small pot, "Are you afraid that I will poison you to death?"

"Even if the poison you gave me is gut-piercing poison, I can still drink it." As he spoke, he pulled Shen Lin past him, "The injury is almost healed..."

Shen Lin gave Ming Han a palm, "Really... There are still many boards and whips waiting for you..."

"How could you be so cheap to me? You just came up with another way to torture me after reading it."

Shen Lin turned and closed the door, "Yes...you guessed it right, do you know what you drank just now? It was the charm medicine that I had someone bring back from Miaojiang. I heard that people who touch this medicine will be killed A dog would poke its butt in excitement."

Ming Han clenched his fist subconsciously, "Hehe...do you want to..."

"However, I, Shen Lin, don't have a concubine, and I don't take concubines... I am not interested in women, and I am not interested in men..." Shen Lin touched Ming Han's acupuncture points and fixed his limbs on the bed , legs stretched apart.He took out the dagger and tore apart Ming Han's clothes, and then opened a box he brought over, "But because of the indelible memory of the past, I, Shen Lin, are very good at this kind of gameplay."

Ming Han frowned and stared at the string of iron tools and asked, "What is this?"

Shen Lin pinched the circle of the ring at one end and slowly expanded it. There are still some unknown small holes around the circle. "This is carefully designed by me for you." Shen Lin pinched a long nail that reached the hook and said, " This is a lesson for you the last time you touched me..."

Minghan only felt that something was stabbed hard in the back, and the pain spread.

"Very good... this blood can be moist" Then shake one of the objects, and the circle will expand in Minghan's body. In an instant, Minghan feels that the flesh is stretched to the limit, and then suddenly feels that something is embedded in the surrounding area. In addition to pain or pain.Minghan didn't know how long it had passed, he only felt that this kind of pain was a thousand times more painful than being hit by a hundred boards, and it was endless.

Shen Lin lit the incense, and Minghan slowly woke up.

"Why did you faint before you started?" Shen Lin caught a glimpse of the sachet hanging from Minghan's waist and pulled it over, "You're really an infatuated kind..."

"give me back……"

"Give it back to you? If I remember correctly, this is what I gave you, right? Since you like it so much...then..." As he spoke, Shen Lin took the fire pocket, ignited the sachet, and then Han shook his eyes, and then put it into the newly opened tunnel, "Why, it's warmer there?"

The fresh and tender flesh at the back was burnt, and the smell of burnt meat mixed with the fragrance of the sachet permeated the room.

Minghan's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what happened, so he had to close his eyes, "You kill me."

"Why are you afraid? Where is this? The humiliation I suffered in that life was a thousand times more than this... Don't you like to watch it? Don't you like it? Why don't you like it now?"

Minghan didn't speak, but closed his eyes tightly.

Shen Lin took the incense burner, took out the burning incense and put it in a spoon, and sent it into the tunnel little by little, his body trembling with pain, but refused to make a sound.

"Look, the sachets are all reduced to ashes now, and the incense is also extinguished..." He said, picking up the silver chopsticks to take out the unburnt incense block, opened another jar of wine, put it into the wine pot, and the mouth of the pot was along the All the tunnels have been entered, "This hundred-year-old wine is the best way to clean up the wound..."

The alcohol irritated the wound, and Ming Han fainted from the pain several times.

Shen Lin took out the blade and rubbed it against the edge of the table, "You said I turned you into Jiang Nanwang... how about it?"

Minghan suddenly arched his body, his eyes exuded fear, "No...no...Shen Lin...no...you can't treat me like this...no..."

Shen Lin took the blade and patted Minghan's face, "I can't do that? I remember you cut my tongue... didn't you? I cut your place... the same."

Minghan was hysterical, "No!"

Shen Lin looked at the person on the bed and couldn't help but sighed, "Forget it... let's change it."

Shen Lin ordered someone to burn a furnace of charcoal, and then clamped an iron seal engraved with Shen Lin's characters in a tong and roasted it in the fire... About 10 minutes later, Shen Lin took out the red-hot seal and walked away. In front of Ming Han, "I still remember the appearance of silver needles piercing thousands of holes in my face at that time, and the appearance of acacia flowers... You are really a bad taste..." Shen Lin took a sip of wine and sprayed it on the seal , Jiuyu's red-hot seal turned into steam, and then he bit his finger and dripped blood on Minghan's cheek, "Today I will engrave my name on your face, so that you can always remember, you Minghan It is my Shen Lin's property, enslaved by me, my slave!" As he said that, the seal was imprinted mercilessly on that handsome side face, green smoke rose, Minghan's body was completely bowed, and he was in a low voice. The roar penetrated the entire hall, like a trapped animal.

When the seal was taken off, the word "Shen Lin" was clearly imprinted on the cheek, engraved into the flesh with blood, the bright red was shocking.

Minghan fainted, Shen Lin took the medicine and put it on the burned cheek, "This way... I will pay you a little bit and ask for it, will my sin karma be as much as yours one day... In this way... ...can we truly be on equal footing..."

When Shen Lin left the room, he held an old tree and vomited. The smell of the scene made him sick.

After Shen Lin vomited, he saw Ming Yang sitting at the door with tears in his eyes, falling asleep.

The waiter wanted to hug, Shen Lin waved his hand, "I'll take..." Shen Lin picked up Ming Yang, took out a handkerchief to wipe the child's tears, and then limped out of the palace.

After setting Ming Yang up, Shen Lin called Yan Yunhe over again, "Stop drinking in the future, as a teacher of the prince, what's the proper way?"

Yan Yunhe nodded, "Yes."

"Go and take care of Minghan these two days. He is seriously injured. I don't worry about other people. You can go... Mingyang will live with me for the next few days." Shen Lin took out a waist card and handed it to Yan Yunhe.

"If the emperor hates him, he will die and he will be injured. Why don't you follow your wish and order some imperial doctor? If the emperor is reluctant, why bother to let him suffer this inhuman torture all day long!"

"Go..."
