After the avatar is reborn

Ji Xuerong was confined for a month, and even with Nianqiao, she couldn't leave the East Palace for a month.

In the East Palace, he sewed a sachet every day according to what Ji Xuerong said.

He found that Ji Xuerong didn't seem to be worried at all. Recently, he has been very obedient and listened to Ji Xuerong's words very much.

a month later.

The palace began to gradually enter autumn, and at this time there was still summer heat, but the temperature was lower in the morning and evening.

Nianqiao sat obediently, he was still a little confused, he was called up by Ji Xuerong, and he kept leaning on Ji Xuerong, unwilling to get up.

Ji Xuerong helped him put on his outer robe, Nianqiao was sleepy in spring, tired in summer and weak in autumn, and started to feel lazy when he was a little cold.

They can go out today, Nianqiao is going to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the matter of the Ninth Prince has not been investigated yet.

The fifth prince and the crown prince have a good relationship, and the investigation of this matter was deliberately postponed after the ground was grounded.

Ji Xuerong rubbed against Nianqiao's face, and said to Nianqiao: "Gu let the guards go with you, Nianqiao don't have to be afraid."

Nianqiao was reluctant to go, he slowly opened his eyes, Ji Xuerong stuffed snacks for the road into his arms, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, can you go with me?"

"Gu can't accompany you." Ji Xuerong said, "Nianqiao, Gu is waiting for you in the East Palace. After you finish asking questions, follow the guards back."

"Don't go with anyone else."

Nian Qiaolai was in Ji Xuerong's arms, unwilling to let go, he couldn't speak, if asked, what should he say.

Ji Xuerong: "If they ask, tell the truth."

Ji Xuerong only knew that he had lost the sachet, but he didn't know that he also picked peony flowers for Ji Lingyu.

Nianqiao didn't dare to tell Ji Xuerong, he could only respond, his eyes slightly dodged.

Nian Qiao sat in the carriage, this time he was alone, he leaned on the window and looked in the direction of the East Palace.

Ji Xuerong stood on the spot, the peony flowers could not cover his face, the face of the bright and startling prince gradually became invisible, only a blurry figure remained.

The carriage swayed forward, and after thinking about the bridge, he felt a little scared. He couldn't tell Ji Lingyu, but he didn't know if Ji Xuerong would be affected.

Ji Xuerong protects him, if he still implicates Ji Xuerong...

"Here we are." Nian Qiao followed the guards out of the carriage and arrived at the Ministry of Punishment.

He was led in, this corridor was slightly cold, reminding him of the long corridor in the prison, sticky and cold.

"Master Fu."

The guard saluted Fu Qingming.

Fu Qingming was wearing an official uniform, the orchid patterns on the thick cuffs were looming, his upright and handsome features were hidden in the darkness, and a shadow fell silently on his eyebrows and eyes.

Almost at the moment when Nian Qiao saw Fu Qingming, he turned around and was about to run away, but was held down by two guards beside him.

"Let me go! I want to see the Fifth Prince, not Mr. Fu."

Nianqiao's wrist was twisted so painfully, he struggled so hard, the guards had already relaxed, but still left a few marks on Nianqiao's wrist.

Fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, Fu Qingming must have been waiting for him here a long time ago, he couldn't be alone with Fu Qingming.

His struggle was no match for the guard, and the guard said to him: "Master Fu is the Minister of Dali Temple, this time he will try this case together with the Ministry of Criminal Justice, young master, Mr. Fu just asked you a few words."

"You do not have to worry about."

Nianqiao struggled less vigorously, and when he saw Fu Qingming's expressionless face, his heart seemed to have been opened, and endless panic spread in it.

He was brought into a separate room, the door closed behind him, Nianqiao subconsciously wanted to open the door, when he turned around, there was a sudden force behind him.

"Ah—" Nianqiao let out a scream, his face was slightly pale, and Fu Qingming pinned him down easily by his waist.

Fu Qingming's brows and eyes were covered with a layer of darkness. Looking at his cold eyes, Nianqiao's robe was torn off, and there was pain in his wrist.

He was frightened by Fu Qingming's expression, his whole back was leaning against the wall, a chill came up from his tailbone, and there was a layer of water in his eyes.

Nianqiao's wrist was in severe pain, he screamed out, the guard outside knocked on the door and called out "Master Fu."

Fu Qingming turned a deaf ear, as if he wanted to check something, he tore Nianqiao's clothes.

Nian Qiao hid while closing his only remaining clothes, he was so frightened that he curled up in the corner, Fu Qingming was completely crazy.

The more he was like this, the colder Fu Qingming's expression became, until he tore off his last shirt, leaving only a red apron all over his body.

From the collarbone down, as Fu Qingming saw, the traces on his body represented something self-evident.

The torn clothes fell to the ground, Nianqiao didn't dare to reach out to pick them up, he wrapped himself tightly, leaning back against the cold wall, with tears of humiliation in his eyes.

Fu Qingming's eyes scanned every inch of his skin, his jaw was opened by a strong force, Fu Qingming pinched his jaw and forced him to lift his head, and looked at his face from top to bottom.

"Do you think that if you submit to the crown prince, I will have nothing to do with you?"

"I don't want to come to see me... I will send you into the palace, and this is how you repay me."

Nian Qiao was forced to hold his head up, his face was pale, and he kept backing away, trying to get rid of Fu Qingming's shackles.

But he couldn't move, and Fu Qingming's words made him even more angry. Anger and fear were intertwined. He shrank in the corner, turning his face slightly away.

What does it mean to send him to the palace to repay him like this?

Originally, Fu Qingming used him, so why did he say such a grandiose thing.

hypocrite.

Nianqiao's fingertips were trembling, he forced himself to calm down, worried that Fu Qingming would strangle him to death here.

"Brother Qingming... I can't choose where I am."

"The prince likes me, you'd better let me go quickly, or His Highness will send someone over in a while."

"Like you?" Fu Qingming seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, with a cold arc on the corners of her lips, and her voice was like a pool of ice.

"Where are you worthy of liking?"

Nianqiao curled up his fingertips slightly, his eyes gleamed with water, he bit his lip to prevent himself from making a sound now when he was questioned.

Soon Fu Qingming let go of him, Nian Qiao almost knelt down on the ground, his expression was still tense, Fu Qingming quickly turned back and took out a pill from a black box.

Nianqiao's eyes widened slightly, he turned his head and was about to run, but the outer shirt he was wearing was tattered, and there was only a small red coat inside. Fu Qingming pulled him back, and there was a sharp pain in his jaw.

"what--"

Nianqiao's mouth was covered, he shook his head violently, and pushed back with his sweaty palms, but his hands were cut back, the bitter taste of the pill spread in his lip cavity, and soon entered his stomach cavity along his throat.

Putting her fingers into his tongue cavity, she checked every part of his mouth to make sure that he had swallowed the pill before Fu Qingming let him go.

Nianqiao tasted blood in his lips, because he was afraid of an abnormal blush on his face, there were silver threads hanging from the corners of his lips, and his body couldn't support himself on the spot, shrinking into a small ball and melting into the shadows.

Fu Qingming looked down at him, and wiped off the water stains on her fingertips with a handkerchief.

"This is crane poison. If you don't get the antidote within three days, you will bleed to death from your seven orifices."

"Every three days, I will order someone to send you an antidote, and you must follow my orders."

"If you don't want to—"

Fu Qingming said expressionlessly: "You can also tell the prince, maybe you won't live until then."

……

Yonghua Palace.

Ji Xuerong glanced at the sundial outside the main hall, Ji Changning looked calm, and the two were playing games.

"Eldest sister, I lost alone."

Ji Xuerong's chess piece did not fall, and she made a gesture to get up.

Yonghua Palace was deserted all the year round, Ji Changning was ill and lived in a very quiet place, Emperor Jinghe treated her generously and specially found a secluded place for her, near the Peony Pavilion in the back garden.

"Jiangli is restless today," Ji Changning asked him, "do you have something on your mind?"

Ji Xuerong shook her head: "Eldest sister is superior in skills, and I am convinced that I am alone."

Ji Changning coughed twice, and the maid next to her put on a cloak for her, which made her face even more sickly, and her face turned a little pale.

"Jianli." Ji Changning called him abruptly.

The figure stopped at the same place, and Ji Changning said, "You shouldn't stay in the palace. Father always misses you the most. If you have a chance, go out and have a look."

"Xiao Yun's place may be a good place."

Ji Xuerong was slightly stunned on the spot, covering part of her emotions with her brows and eyes, and said in a warm voice: "Thank you, elder sister, for your suggestion."

The carved floating shadows elongated, and the hall fell silent.

Now that the time has come, Ji Xuerong is worried and asks Fang Dingrong to go.

Half an hour after Fang Dingrong came back, Nianqiao was wearing a bodyguard Feiyu robe, his face was pale, anyone could see that something was wrong with this state.

When Nianqiao heard Ji Xuerong's voice, he threw himself into Ji Xuerong's arms, tears fell immediately, and the thought of dying was constantly circling and amplifying in his mind.

He was sobbing, and Ji Xuerong carried him off the carriage.

Ji Xuerong looked at the guards at the side, and the two guards were kneeling on the ground.

"Your Highness, it was Mr. Fu...his people stopped his subordinates."

Ji Xuerong noticed that the person in his arms flinched again, and kept hiding in his arms, and he let the two guards go down first.

"Nianqiao." A gentle voice came from beside my ear.

Nianqiao hugged Ji Xuerong tightly, he was still afraid now, when he thought of Fu Qingming's threat, he felt even more desperate, tears fell like broken beads, and he was out of breath from crying.

"Nianqiao, don't cry." Ji Xuerong wiped his tears for him, lowered her head to kiss his eyelids, and asked him, "Did Fu Qingming make things difficult for you?"

As she spoke, she noticed the handprint on Nianqiao's chin and Nianqiao's torn underwear.

When Ji Xuerong asked something, Nianqiao didn't want to speak, but kept shaking his head, crying in Ji Xuerong's arms.

At the mention of Fu Qingming's name, Nianqiao trembled subconsciously, and his face turned even paler.

Ji Xuerong didn't ask him any more, just let him hold him, and covered him with a blanket when he was tired from crying.

Nianqiao fell asleep crying after a while, clutching his fingers tightly, unwilling to let go.

When he moved, Nianqiao held onto him even tighter, opened his eyes, and stared at him intently with his dark pupils.

Ji Xuerong then did not move.

After waking up from sleep, Nianqiao didn't cry any more, Ji Xuerong relaxed slightly, "Nianqiao, are you hungry, the lonely man brought me food."

Nianqiao didn't speak.

Ji Xuerong said patiently: "Want to have some snacks? We have to eat before we can have some snacks, or are we thirsty?"

Nianqiao still didn't speak, his pupils were dark and dark with wetness, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Ji Xuerong sensed that something was wrong, he went to break Nianqiao's mouth, Nianqiao clenched his teeth tightly, finally let the teeth loosen, his fingertips froze slightly.

There are many small wounds in Nianqiao's mouth, and there is a faint bloodstain in the middle of the tongue, and the delicate lip cavity looks scarred.
