The constant swaying and shaking woke Zhu Daixiu up from her long coma.
The first thing that entered his eyes was endless darkness and an endless sense of oppression.
What was this place? Why was it so dark? Why…
Zhu Daixiu stretched out her hand to touch it, but she found that her hand had touched a wall, and this wall was right in front of her.
No, no one in the world could build a wall like this. He must have made a mistake!
She frantically reached out to her left and right, but found that no matter how she touched, she would only touch a wall. This wall seemed to be built around her, trapping her tightly. Could this be…
She opened her mouth to call for help, only to realize that her mouth was stuffed with a jade pendant?
Heavens! Only a dead person would have a jade pendant in their mouth. Why did he stuff a jade pendant in her mouth? She wasn't dead, and she was still alive and well. Why was she stuffed with a jade pendant?
A terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Zhu Daixiu's mind. Could she be in a coffin?
The word "coffin" immediately caused Zhu Daixiu's entire body to turn cold. Her blood flowed backward, and all her thoughts stopped in an instant.
She could only think in a daze that she was dead. She was dead after all. Otherwise, why would she be placed in a coffin? Then she thought, No, dead people wouldn't know that they were in the coffin, but she knew. It meant that she wasn't dead.
Then…
She suddenly remembered that when she came to Yu Kui Manor, she had wanted to die together with him, but Yu Kui had struck first before Yu Li arrived and strangled her.
It looked like it was Yukui's order that she would be in the coffin because their elder brother never buried the dead. He would only put them in the coffin and send them directly to the Zuo Village's human burial ground to be burned.
Burned? Unexpectedly, she, Zhu Daixiu, was still unable to escape the fire tribulation in the end and was destined to be burned to death.
A year ago, Yukui and Jia Shi set a trap to burn her to death to force her father to do evil. A year later, she escaped a massacre in Huxi Town, but her mother died in a fire due to exhaustion. But now, she wasn't strangled to death by Yukui, but she was going to be sent to the human burial ground to be burned alive. Was she destined to be burned to death for the rest of her life?
Forget it! Her body was already a withered flower. It seemed that if she did not use this method, she would not be able to wash away the filth and lewdness on her body.
He hoped that after the heavens burned away her filth and lewdness, she would be able to reunite with Yuli in her next life and be his wife and lover. At that time, she would be complete and belong to him alone.
At the thought of this, Zhu Daixiu gave up and despaired!
She lay quietly in the coffin, allowing the coffin bearers to carry her to the human burial ground, ready to accept the fate that God had given her.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside,""Who is it?"
Before she could finish her sentence, she heard a few screams. Then, Zhu Daixiu felt as if she had been thrown heavily to the ground. It was so painful that she couldn't even scream.
Before Zhu Daixiu could react to what had happened, the coffin was opened and a man's face appeared in front of her. "Miss Zhu, you really didn't die! That's great."
Zhu Daixiu's eyes were unable to adapt to the sudden light. She instinctively closed her eyes.
"Who are you?"
"Don't ask about this first. Come, I'll carry you out!”
The man bent down and carried Zhu Daixiu out. He nervously looked around to make sure that no one was looking, then immediately jumped onto the roof and flew away.
"Miss Zhu, eat something. You must be hungry, right?”After handing the steaming steamed bun to Zhu Daixiu, Dong Chang found a corner to sit down and began to eat the steamed bun.
Zhu Daixiu took the bun and looked at Dong Chang with some suspicion." Why did you save me? Aren't you Seventh Brother's subordinate?"
Dong Chang glanced at Zhu Daixiu and ate the bun in two or three bites. He picked up the wine gourd on his waist and raised his head to gulp down the wine. "That's right, I am indeed Seventh Brother's man, but I was later given to Fifth Brother, and Fifth Brother gave me to Twelfth Brother, so for a long time, I followed Twelfth Brother.”
"Twelfth brother…he treats you well, right?”
Dong Chang was stunned, but he had no choice but to nod." Compared to Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother, Twelfth Master has indeed treated me well. He didn't have the strictness of the Fifth Prince, nor did he have the harshness of the Seventh Prince. He was more generous and gentle than his brothers.”
"If that's the case, why did you betray the twelfth prince? Why did you frame him?"
Dong Chang's face darkened." You're just a woman. What do you know?”
"I don't understand, but at least I know that if a person doesn't know how to repay kindness, he's worse than a beast, let alone framing his master by killing and setting fire.”
Dong Chang's eyes widened. He suddenly grabbed Zhu Daixiu's long hair and pulled her up from the ground. "You bitch, what do you know? Do you know the pain of being sold around like a dog without any self-esteem or self-control? Do you know the sorrow of being humble and calling yourself a servant? You won't understand! For a woman like you, no matter who you sell it to or which man you're with, as long as you lie on the bed and spread your legs, which master won't be served by you and obey you? How would they understand the pain of us?”
Zhu Daixiu smiled coldly." I'm lowly and lascivious. I only know how to cater to men and flatter them, but at least I won't frame Lord Twelve. But what about you? You killed hundreds of people in the Jia family, even the innocent Huxi Town was lost in the raging fire, and the whole town was not spared. In the end, you even framed the twelfth brother, making the twelfth brother unable to defend himself in front of the emperor. Is this what a man should do?”
Dong Chang snorted and laughed non-stop." Jia Shi is a vicious man. He rapes and plunders, runs amok in the village, and does all kinds of evil. The lackeys that he raised are just like him. They abuse the power of others and prey on the villagers. What's wrong with killing people like him? If he didn't kill him, it would be against the laws of nature.”
"What about my mother? Why did you kill my weak mother? He didn't even let off all the maids in Jia Shi's residence?”
Dong Chang looked at Zhu Daixiu contemptuously." A woman who lives by selling her beauty and body is no different from a prostitute. It's better for such a woman to die than live."”
Zhu Daixiu raised her eyebrows." So, you want to kill me too?”
Dong Chang turned around and grabbed Zhu Daixiu's neck." You deserve to die! Sleeping with Jia Shi was one thing, but you were actually willing to serve a man's elder brother. A woman like you deserved to die!”As he said that, he slowly relaxed his grip." But you can't die yet. If you die, who will I find to save me?”
He pushed forward and pushed Zhu Daixiu to the ground.
Zhu Daixiu was immediately relieved of a heavy burden, gasping for breath.
Dong Chang squatted down and leaned closer to Zhu Daixiu." Do you know why I saved you?”
Zhu Daixiu stared at the demon-like Dong Chang in front of her in horror. This person killed without blinking an eye and could even frame her own master. Yet, he actually took the risk to save her. What was he trying to do?
"I have committed the crime of Huxi Town. No matter if it's the Twelfth Prince, the Fifth Prince, or even the Seventh Prince, they won't let me off.”
"There's no need to mention the fifth and twelfth elder brothers, but the seventh elder brother? Why won't Seventh Brother let you go?"
"Because keeping me alive will not only be a hindrance to him, but he will also have to worry about the day when the truth comes out. At that time, won't everything be ruined? So he deliberately thought of ways to get rid of me. Fortunately, I was smart enough to avoid his pursuit. Otherwise, how could I have the opportunity to turn around and attack him?”As he said this, his gaze never left Zhu Daixiu.
Zhu Daixiu was a very intelligent woman. How could she not understand what he was planning?
"You want to use me to threaten the Seventh Prince?”
Dong Chang shook his head." I need you to go to the Emperor to prove that everything was done by Seventh Prince. I was just following orders."”
"Impossible! If the emperor sees me, he will only want to kill me. He will not believe my words at all.”
"Then what about the 12th and 5th brother? The two of them should believe what you said, right?”
Zhu Daixiu was shocked." You!"
Dong Chang grabbed Zhu Daixiu's wrist and dragged her in front of him." I don't know about the Fifth Prince, but the Twelfth Prince is deeply in love with you. He would rather die to protect you, a slut." So as long as I have you, it's like I have a protective charm. I can ask the emperor for credit and apologize far away, and I can talk about conditions with the twelfth prince. So tell me, are you worth saving?”
"You!" Zhu Daixiu was so angry that she couldn't say a word.
Dong Chang held Zhu Daixiu's pale, bloodless, but beautiful face." You're really beautiful. Ever since I was born, I've played with so many women, but I've never seen anyone more beautiful than you. Anyway…"
Zhu Daixiu shrank back." What do you want to do?”
Dong Chang grabbed Zhu Daixiu tightly." Anyway, you're not a pure girl, and you've let so many men play with you. Why don't you accompany me? I think the Manchu and Han people should be similar in this aspect.”
Zhu Daixiu spat on Dong Chang's face. "You think you're worthy of calling yourself 'Master'? You're a beast, a beast, you're not fit to be a human, you…Ah!”
Zhu Daixiu screamed and fainted.
It turned out that Dong Chang couldn't stand Zhu Daixiu's mocking and cursing. He punched Zhu Daixiu in the stomach, causing her to faint on the spot and lose consciousness.
"Damn bitch, you dare to scold me? Even those brothers don't dare to scold me, but you dare to scold me?”
All of a sudden, a long sword was pressed against him coldly, and a voice that was as cold as anything could be heard!!
"Dong Chang, if you dare to act rashly, I will immediately make your Dong Clan lose all descendants.”
Dong Chang's soul immediately flew out of his body." 10th…12th Prince?”
Yu Li snorted and moved his wrist. Instantly, Dong Chang's miserable scream could be heard. Dong Chang's lower body was bent over, and blood was flowing profusely. He was in so much pain that he wanted to die.
Yu Li did not even bother to look at him. He went forward to pick up Zhu Daixiu and hurriedly took off his outer shirt to wrap her up. Then, he carried her and walked out of the farmer's house outside Beijing.
At the door, Yuqi surrounded her with concern." How is it? Is she alright?"
Yu Li shook his head and looked at her with heartache.
Yuqi finally nodded in relief." What's going on inside? Slaughtering pigs?"
Yu Li's lips curled into a smile that he hadn't seen for many days." I used the imperial sword to castrate Dong Chang."”
Yuqi was stunned, as if he could not believe the answer he heard." You what? Twelfth brother, say it again."
"I castrated Dong Chang with the imperial sword given to me by the Emperor."”
Uncontrollable laughter continuously escaped from Yu Qi's mouth. He laughed until he was almost unable to speak as he pointed at Yu Li. "You, you…"
Yu Li couldn't help but laugh." If the Emperor knew that his imperial sword was used on this, he would be furious. He might even reward me with a stick!"”
Yuqi laughed so hard that tears flowed down his face." It's not just a reward. You might be ordered to shut yourself in for a month!”
Yu Li shrugged his shoulders," It doesn't matter. As long as Dong Chang is here, it will prove that Qing 'Er and I are innocent. So, I can even go to beekeeping for a year."”
Yuqi nodded and returned to his original calm, composed, and unrestrained appearance." Men, go in and treat Dong Chang's wounds and stop the bleeding. When the day breaks, the twelfth prince and I will bring Dong Chang to see the emperor."”
"Tsk!"
"Water, I want water!" Zhu Daixiu was lying on the bed, muttering softly.
Yu Li, who was sleeping tiredly with his hands, heard the sound and jumped up. He quickly poured a glass of water and rushed to Zhu Daixiu's bed." Qing 'er, the water is here."”
Seeing that she was still unconscious on the bed, Yu Li couldn't help but find it funny. Why are you so flustered? She was still sleeping soundly! It wasn't like it would disappear.
She called out,"Master!" Is that you?"
Yu Li smiled and looked at her from top to bottom." It's me."”
"Were you the one who kissed me just now?”
"Who else did you think it was?"
Tears of joy flowed out of Zhu Daixiu's beautiful eyes. She stretched out her jade-like arms and wrapped them around Yu Li, taking the initiative to kiss him. "Master, please, please kiss me and hug me again, okay? Let Qing 'Er remember your taste, remember your feelings. I beg you, I beg you.”
Yu Li was stunned, but he had no way to refuse. He could only kiss her.
For a long time, Zhu Daixiu was like a cat, satisfied and nestled in Yu Li's arms, sighing. Then, she seemed to have thought of something and pushed Yuli away." Master, I beg you, I beg you, okay?"”
Yu Li was stunned again, not knowing what was wrong with Zhu Daixiu today. "Qing `er, what exactly are you…"
Zhu Daixiu's face was flushed red. She was embarrassed, ashamed, sad, and teary. She stammered,
"Seventh brother, seventh brother…"
Yu Li frowned." What's wrong with Old Seventh?”
"Qing `er, if there's nothing else, I'll ask you a question now. You have to answer truthfully and not lie, understand?”
Zhu Daixiu nodded in a daze.
"Let me ask you, why did you go to Old Seventh? Don't you know that you're courting death by going there?”
Yu Li asked, and his tone became stern." Not only will you be humiliated by him, you might even die without a trace. Do you know that?”
Speaking of this, Yu Li couldn't help but think of the panic when he and his fifth brother searched Old Seventh's entire mansion but couldn't find her. Then he thought of the empty coffins and dead bodies he saw on the way to the human burial ground. That worry and anxiety made him almost breathless. Even breathing now hurt!
"Of course I know, but I'm not willing! I can't accept that he could frame you like that. He could use such cruel methods to kill innocent people. So when you brought me back to the capital, I swore that even if I died, I would drag him down with me.”At this point, Zhu Daixiu's tears fell onto the back of her hand.
"Idiot! Why don't you think about it? If you die, can I still live?”
Zhu Daixiu's body stiffened." Master, you…"
"The Emperor gave me a sword and told me to kill you, a remnant of the previous dynasty. If you don't do it, then do it yourself.”He smiled at her." Qing 'Er, do you know what it means to do as you see fit? What he meant was, if I don't kill you, I'll have to kill myself. But how could I bear to kill you? So I came back with this imperial sword, intending to kill myself first, because I knew that once you saw me die, you would follow me, right?”
Zhu Daixiu's tears fell even more fiercely, and she sobbed in Yu Li's arms, choking with sobs. "Grandpa, you're so silly. Qing 'er isn't worth it for you to do this, not worth it! There are many women in the world who are better than Qing 'er. Why must you do this?”
Yu Li shook his head." Let me ask you, if there are many women in the world, then aren't there many men in the world too? But why are you so loyal to me? He was even willing to risk his life for me and almost lost his life several times?”
Zhu Daixiu also shook her head." I don't know. I just love you and want you. I don't want anyone else except you! As long as I can be with you, it doesn't matter even if I die.”
"Me too. Even if there are so many women in the world, even if I'm an elder brother, I still only want you. I only want to love you. So in order to be with you, I can give up everything.”
He laid Zhu Daixiu down on the bed and gently took off their clothes." Tell me, does it still hurt?" You must have been very sad just now, huh?”
Such a direct and explicit question made Zhu Daixiu so embarrassed that she didn't know how to answer. She could only close her eyes and bow her body as an answer.
"Qing 'er, listen to me." Yu Li pressed her down and whispered. Tomorrow, we will go to see my royal father and explain the entire Hundred Vehicle Record and the Huxi Town case to him. I will ask him to approve our marriage and let me marry you openly and give you a status. However, the emperor has a deep prejudice against you. I'm worried that even though the case is closed, he won't let it go, so..."
Zhu Daixiu slowly opened her eyes." I don't care. If the Emperor wants me to die, I'll die. If he gives me life, I'll live. Anyway, Master, you won't let me be alone, right?”
Yu Li's eyes reddened as he patted the mandarin duck pillow under Zhu Daixiu's head." That's right. Just like this mandarin duck pillow, it will always be a pair. Even if there is only one pillow, there will still be a pair of mandarin ducks on it."”#
