The world is heavy and late

Chapter 25 Punishment
After the emperor left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to find out that the emperor said he came to see Cui Jieyu, but he didn't even see Cui Jieyu...

emperor:……

Can the emperor say that he thought he would be able to go horse racing in the next few days and maybe go hunting, so he was happy for a while and forgot?

After the emperor left, Hu Sizheng asked someone to take Xia Qing down to carry out the execution. Xia Qing looked at Wu Xiaoyuan in his arms, and stretched out his hand to grab Xu Zhong's clothes. In the palace, don't look too much, it may save your life.

Hu Sizheng was also obviously stunned for a moment, and then thinking about the abnormalities of the little Eunuch Xu she saw tonight, Hu Sizheng narrowed his eyes, it seems that this little maid is still an acquaintance of this little Eunuch Xu ?
Xia Qing grabbed the hem of Xu Zhong's clothes and tugged again, without saying a word, she squeezed her mouth tightly, and looked at Xu Zhong with wet eyes, obviously with some pleas in her.

Xu Zhong watched her tugging his hand, thinking that it was really strange to think of him at this time, and looked at Xia Qing's eyes again, because she had shed too many tears just now, and her eye sockets were still red at this moment Yes, but the eyes are brighter than usual.

Seeing those eyes, Xu Zhong felt a little soft-hearted, but he was still angry, so he stretched out his hand and pulled off the hem of his clothes, and said to the servant: "Clean up this corpse first, be gentle, don't knock it."

Xu Zhong thought he was indifferent, but the servants next to him were speechless when they saw it. Did Mr. Xu drag him out?This is clearly pulled out gently, okay? Shouldn’t it take a lot of effort to pull it out?
Xia Qing took out the handkerchief on her body, and carefully wiped off the blood on Wu Xiaoyuan's face little by little. The servants around her lowered their heads and waited. Are you wearing it?

After wiping it clean, Xia Qing also put down Wu Xiaoyuan's body, the warmth in his arms seemed to disappear immediately, and Xia Qing couldn't help but shed tears again.

She watched the servants take Wu Xiaoyuan away, Hu Sizheng had been waiting for a long time, and said to the servants

"Take it away."

Xu Zhong didn't go to see Xia Qing's execution, he only heard the sound of the court stick hitting the flesh.

Every time there was a sound, his heart trembled, and he hated the person behind the incident even more in his heart. He didn't want to hear it but he didn't leave, as if he was being sentenced to death, listening to the sound.

Xia Qing was lying on the bench, and when the court stick fell for the first time, she clenched her arms tightly. The court stick in the palace is different from the board, even if the court stick in the palace is thirty sticks, it will kill someone.

But fortunately, veteran executioners have the ability to make the sound of the beatings the same, but in fact the injuries suffered are just flesh and blood. Obviously these executioners are veterans, and Xia Qing is the one who needs to be treated preferentially, but Xia Qing still There is a feeling that my life is over.

After the execution of the ten rods, Xu Zhong bowed to Hu Sizheng in the courtyard as soon as his voice stopped, saying:
"Master Hu, then our family will go down first. If there is anything that our family needs, please send a message from Mr. Hu. Our family will come back tomorrow to ask Mr. Hu."

Hu Qiong looked at the little father-in-law in front of him, and now it seemed that he was not at all domineering and arrogant to the prince, nor was he tit-for-tat when he argued with himself just now.Hu Qiong nodded and said:
"Little Eunuch Xu, go on your own. If there is any news, I will send someone to deliver a letter to Little Eunuch Xu."

Xu Zhong turned around and walked out of the courtyard. The people outside the courtyard were at a loss for what to do. Normally speaking, they should drag the maid who committed the crime in for the Shangguan to have a look at, but this maid...they dare not delay ah.

The two of them were hesitating, when they saw little Eunuch Xu striding out, they bowed knowingly and retreated.

At this moment, Xia Qing's face was covered with sweat, and his face was pale with pain. After Xu Zhong saw it, he also felt a little hot in his eyes, and his eye sockets were a little red.

Too many things happened today, Xu Zhong almost thought that the two of them could not escape this catastrophe, now seeing her lying on the stool so weakly, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt his hands and feet were a little weak, Looking at Xia Qing, he felt sorry for her and just wanted to hold her in his arms. After all, he suppressed his thoughts and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her face.

Xia Qing was already a little dizzy at this moment, and even some sweat had fallen into her eyes. She was in too much pain, and she felt that she couldn't open her eyes, but she knew that the person in front of her must be Xu Zhong, and there was no one else. , there is no one else, only Xu Zhong is the only person I know well in this palace.

Xia Qing cried out weakly
"Xu Zhong"

"Um"

"Xu Zhong"

"Um"

"Wu Xiaoyuan is dead."

"I am here"

"Wu Xiaoyuan is dead, I will never see her again"

Rao Xu Zhong, who was angry, didn't show his face to Xia Qing at the moment, he just said

"I'm here, Xia Qing, don't be afraid, I'm here, I will always be here."

Xia Qing couldn't help shedding tears again, both from physical pain and thinking of Wu Xiaoyuan, Xu Zhong also gently wiped Xia Qing's tears away, and said to Xia Qing
"I'll take you to the room, take the medicine first, okay, if you delay, you will get infected."

Xia Qing nodded, and put his hand on his neck. Xu Zhong carefully avoided the bloody part of his buttocks and thighs, picked Xia Qing up, and walked slowly towards Si Lusi. Now he has to be detained, and he can only be released after all the investigations are done.

Xia Qing kept burying her head in Xu Zhong's arms. Xu Zhong hugged her, but she couldn't help but feel a little sweet but also sour. Her only friend died to protect her. I also need to vent my emotions. Xu Zhong thought that he was very happy to be the one who vented her emotions, but he also thought bitterly that all these emotions were not because of him.

Xu Zhong's chin brushed lightly against her head intentionally, but he immediately pulled his head back, not daring to let her know that he was in a situation where he couldn't help it.

After a while, or felt like walking for a while, Xia Qing felt that there was no one around, so he said in Xu Zhong's arms
"They themselves."

There was no beginning or end to the words, but Xu Zhong knew what she was talking about, so he said

"I see, don't worry."

Xia Qing said again:
"Xiaoyuan left something for me, under the rockery in Mirror Lake, help me get it back, don't let others take it away, okay?"

Xu Zhong nodded, but thought that she would not be able to see it, so he hurriedly said
"Okay, you have to be good, you know, for... for Wu Xiaoyuan, you have to be good."

Xu Zhong felt that the front of his chest seemed to be wet again, and he tightened his hands slightly in distress. Xia Qing hummed lightly, and spoke again after a while without the warmth just now.

"If Shen Hui didn't die, I hope she won't die so easily while she's alive."

Xu Zhong also responded. When Xia Qing was held in his arms, he couldn't express any anger. It was the first time he had such close contact with her. He knew that they were destined to have no future, so every contact seemed like It was very precious. At this time, Xia Qing buried her head in his arms, and he actually wanted to answer whatever she said.

He used to always support himself to live hard, he has been working very hard, because this is his mother's dying wish, because he knew from a young age that a gentleman should face up to difficulties, and he should not give up easily because life is too painful.

But at this moment, Xu Zhong felt that if he wanted to live his life well just to meet Xia Qing, it would be fine.He also felt very happy to be able to live to protect Xia Qing in his life, as happy as when he was a child. He thought he had found the meaning and value of living again.

But in fact, both Xia Qing and Xu Zhong felt that Shen Hui probably couldn't live anymore, and no one would leave a tail after the incident, let alone a family like the Cui family and the Wang family, I am afraid that Shen Hui is agreeing to listen to them When giving orders, Shen Hui was doomed to die.

Xia Qing recalled the past, but it didn't take long before she arrived at the place where she was to be detained. It was probably Xu Zhong who took care of her specially, so she was in a separate room.

Xu Zhong deliberately avoided crowded places. After all, he didn't want her to get caught up in rumors, but there wasn't much distance to detour.

After Xu Zhong felt a little regretful, he found a problem, how could he put Xia Qing down without touching her wound.At this moment, he is supporting Xia Qing's back and under the thighs with both hands, and Xia Qing's whole body is facing upwards. He wants to put Xia Qing down on his face, but...

Xia Qing felt that he hadn't put it down for a long time, so he raised his head and glanced at Xu Zhong, and then saw that he was a little confused looking at the bed, so he also glanced at the bed, then at himself, feeling his ass and vaguely understood , so she was also a little dumbfounded.

The two looked at each other, Xia Qing sighed and said

"You put me near the bed."

Xu Zhong did as he said, and then saw her let go of the hand on her neck, clasping the bed with both hands, and then her whole upper body followed. Xu Zhong swayed a little because of her big movement and then stopped immediately, Xia Qing also buried her head on the bed, and said, "Now put it down slowly."

Xu Zhong carefully turned her body over and put her on the bed bit by bit. During the process, he still accidentally touched Xia Qing's wound, so Xia Qing snorted, and Xu Zhong became even more cautious, waiting to put Xia Qing on the bed. After getting on the bed, Xu Zhongcai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, secretly thinking that he seemed a little embarrassed just now.
