"Hey, did you hear that?"

"what?"

"Master Yi, he is in such a miserable state now."

"What happened to Master Yi?"

"Don't you know? He is now the same as Lord Zhao."

"What's the same?"

"That's right... here, the Zhao Mansion Commander is so cruel. He doesn't have anything himself, so he wants others to have nothing too. He castrated two people in one day, one is Lord Yi, and the other is Sanbao..."

"real?!"

"Is this true? I saw them both being dragged out with my own eyes. Lord Yi was cut open on the spot. That guy was covered in blood. It was so miserable!"

"...I must not offend the Zhao Mansion Order in the future. My father is counting on me to carry on the family line!"

"Clang~"

The crisp sound echoed in the empty corridor.

The conversation between the two guards was like a bolt from the blue, instantly hitting Xiaoyue's heart. Her legs and feet instantly softened, as if she had lost all her strength, and she fell directly to the ground. Her body hit the flower pot beside the corridor heavily, and the flower pot could not withstand such an impact and shattered, with petals and soil splashing all over the ground.

Xiaoyue stared at the two guards closely, her face as pale as paper, her hands clenched into fists, her fingertips deeply dug into her palms, but she felt nothing.

After struggling to get up, Xiaoyue stared at the guard, trembling, and almost used up all her strength to ask the question.
:

"What did you just say? Are you telling the truth?"

"Miss Xiaoyue?"

Seeing Xiaoyue's pale face and nervous and worried look, knowing how much Zhao Gao doted on Xiaoyue, the two guards looked at each other and suddenly felt that a disaster was about to happen. They forced a smile and bowed: "Miss Xiaoyue, what did you say?"

Xiaoyue clenched her teeth tightly: "I asked you what you just said? What did you say happened to Master Yi by Master Zhao?"

The guard was stared at by Xiaoyue until cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He stammered, "Lord Yi was put in jail!... And then, and then..."

"how so?!"

Hearing the guard's hidden meaning, Xiaoyue's body swayed, her mind went blank, and she held onto the pillar beside her to avoid falling down.

"I want to know why my brother treats Master Yi like this!"

After a while, Xiaoyue finally came to her senses, clenched her teeth, a surge of anger surged from her heart, nameless rage filled her heart, and she turned and strode towards the side hall.

In the side hall.

A faint scent of tea mixed with ink permeated the air.

Yi Huawei sat at the desk, staring at the bamboo tube in front of him. He had not practiced calligraphy for many years, so his skills were rusty and his handwriting was terrible.

He took a deep breath, moved his wrist slightly, and gently touched the bamboo tube with the tip of the brush. At first, the brush seemed a little sluggish, as if the brush did not obey his command. Yi Huawei was not impatient, and wrote slowly, stroke by stroke. The tip of the pen passed over the bamboo tube, leaving a series of thick or thin ink marks, and the words seemed to gradually regain life under his efforts.

As time went by, the writing became smoother and smoother. Yi Huawei's facial expression gradually relaxed. Half an hour seemed to pass quickly. The only sound in the side hall was the tip of the pen moving on the bamboo tube. Finally, he finished writing, stopped writing and looked down. The bamboo tube was already covered with handwriting. Every stroke was vigorous and powerful, and the handwriting was smooth and natural.

After all, the foundation is here, Yi Huawei smiled with satisfaction.

"boom!"

The door of the side hall was suddenly pushed open, and a drop of ink dripped from the tip of the pen and spread on the bamboo tube.

Looking at Xiaoyue's angry face, Yi Huawei understood what she meant, but he didn't care. He just felt a little regretful that he had to rewrite the memorial he had just written.

He casually rolled up the bamboo tube and threw it away, waved his long sleeves, motioned the eunuch to go out, then looked up at Xiaoyue and said lightly:

"Why are you back again?"

"Brother! I'm asking you, did you capture Lord Yi and... hurt him? Did you...!"

Looking at Yi Huawei, Xiao Yue's face flushed red, her eyes widened as if they could spit fire, and her teeth clenched as if she wanted to bite something to pieces.

Yi Huawei smiled and said, "Yes, I captured Yi Xiaochuan and castrated him. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! Why? Why did you do this! Are you still my brother? Why did you hurt him?!"

Xiaoyue's body trembled, her eyebrows twisted into a ball, her eyes flashed with anger, her hands clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly with anger.

"Because Yi Xiaochuan knew that someone was going to rebel but he didn't report it to His Majesty, but colluded with the rebels. According to the law, he should be beheaded. I spared his life because we were friends, and only sentenced him to castration. What? Do you think the punishment is too light and need me to report to His Majesty to execute him?"

His face turned stern and an aura of majesty emanated from Yi Huawei, like a basin of ice water poured on Xiaoyue's head, who was full of anger. Her body stiffened and she was frightened for a moment.

Seeing that the old brother who usually cared for her so much and was considerate of her was looking at her with a knife-like gaze, as if he was looking through her, the sarcasm and ridicule in his words made Xiaoyue feel very uncomfortable. After a while, seeing that Yi Huawei still had a cold look on his face, Xiaoyue felt very aggrieved.

"Impossible..., Master Yi would never do such a thing!"

But in Xiaoyue's mind, Yi Xiaochuan is handsome, honest, and humorous. He doesn't believe what Yi Huawei said at all. In his opinion, his brother had a conflict with Yi Xiaochuan, so he took revenge on him.

"Brother, you lied to me! Lord Yi would never do such a treasonous thing!"

Her breathing became rapid, her chest rose and fell, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she was trying to control her emotions. Xiaoyue's words were full of anger and dissatisfaction.

"Since you don't believe me, then it's useless for me to say anything. You can go ask him yourself whether I am lying to you or not!"

With the corners of his mouth raised and a cold smile, Yi Huawei waved his hand: "I have asked the doctor to help him stop the bleeding. He should be in the court prison now. Go and ask him if he is on friendly terms with the rebels? Did he seduce the rebels' wives? Do you think I wronged him? Treason, adultery, which one of them can't put him to death?"

"Impossible..., impossible..."

Xiaoyue's face was pale, her lips were tightly pursed, as if she was enduring great pain. Her body was trembling slightly, as if she would fall down at any time. She looked at Yi Huawei with eyes full of confusion and anger, as if asking why he treated her like this.

"Xiaoyue, I know you like him, but he is not a good match. There is no room for you in his heart."

Yi Huawei picked up the teacup, took a sip, looked at Xiaoyue who looked miserable, and said:
"In the past, well, to be precise, before he met Yu Shu, he might not mind playing with you. But since he met Yu Shu, you have no hope at all. The reason why he changed his mind is because of Yu Shu. He is now in love with Yu Shu instead of you. Do you understand? For the sake of the brother-sister relationship in the past, I can only advise you to forget him as soon as possible.

By the way, do you know what the crime of having an affair with the empress is? According to the law, he should be cut into pieces and his entire family should be exterminated. You say, he is not afraid of being cut into pieces, and he is obsessed with having an affair with Yu Shu. What kind of feeling is this?

Die under the peony flowers, be a romantic ghost? Haha, I wonder if Meng Tian, ​​who treats him as a brother, will vomit blood? "You are not my brother! ... I will go to the queen, the queen will definitely find a way to save him, the queen will ask His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely let him go! ! "

Yi Huawei's words were like a knife stabbing into her heart. Xiaoyue's face turned pale, she covered her ears and shook her head vigorously. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and without paying attention to Yi Huawei, she stood up and staggered out.

"Haha~,"

Looking at Xiaoyue's back, Yi Huawei shook his head, picked up a bamboo tube and started writing again.

…………

Tingwei Mansion.

The dungeon was cold and damp, with the air filled with the smell of rust and mold. Here, every corner was filled with despair and silence.

Yi Xiaochuan, who was castrated, opened his eyes wide and noticed his broken body. His heart was as cold and gray as the stone walls around him. He lay on the ground, motionless, with empty eyes, as if his soul had been taken away by the pain, leaving only an empty shell.

On the other side of the cage, Xiaoyue burst into tears, her eyes filled with grief and helplessness. Looking at Yi Xiaochuan, her heart ached as if it was torn apart. She wanted to get close to him, to hug him, to tell him that she was always there, always by his side. However, she could only look at him helplessly through the cold cage.

"Master Yi~!"

Tears dripped onto the ground in the dungeon, splashing a cloud of dust. The sad crying echoed in the dungeon, but could not reach Yi Xiaochuan's ears. He could not feel her grief and helplessness. His world was already filled with pain and despair, with no room left for anything else.

"Master Yi..., Master Yi~~"

Xiaoyue tightly grasped the bars of the cage, her fingers turning white from the force. Looking at Yi Xiaochuan, she felt full of guilt. She felt guilty that she couldn't save him, that she couldn't change his fate.

"How did you come?"

I don’t know how long it took, but Yi Xiaochuan’s empty eyes regained a little focus. He turned his head and looked at Xiaoyue woodenly, his voice weak and hoarse, almost inaudible.

"How could this happen? Why? Why?!"

Seeing that Yi Xiaochuan finally responded to her, Xiaoyue's tears flowed again.

"Why? You ask me? Ask your brother!"

His eyes turned red, and Yi Xiaochuan got up from the ground and roared: "He is the one who made me look like this! It's him, he is unbalanced, he is perverted!!"

"Ah~!"

Frightened by Yi Xiaochuan's ferocious appearance, she fell to the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly and shook her head: "I'm sorry... I beg you not to hate me anyway! All the hatred should be on me, okay?"

"Hahaha~, you make it sound so easy!"

Veins popped out on his forehead, and Yi Xiaochuan laughed in anger: "Some hatreds can never be forgotten!!"

"No, you must forget it now. Hatred will only make you more and more miserable!"

Wiping away tears hastily, Xiaoyue shook her head and sobbed, "If you want to hate, hate me. I am willing to do everything as long as I can resolve the grudge between you and my brother!" Do you know how important you are to me? I can't lose any of you!"

"Do you think that's possible?!"

Yi Xiaochuan gnashed his teeth and said, "This feud is irreconcilable. I will tear him into pieces!"

"Haha~, your life or death now depends on my thoughts. I want to see how you cut me into pieces."

Yi Huawei walked out from the side, with a smile on his face. Looking at Yi Xiaochuan's helpless and furious look, he felt inexplicably happy.

He waved his hand and ordered the jailer beside him: "Get out!"

"promise!"

The two jailers saluted and hurried out of the dungeon.

Xiaoyue grabbed Yi Huawei's sleeve and begged, "Brother! No, please let Master Yi go!"

"I told you I wouldn't kill him."

Looking at Xiaoyue, Yi Huawei felt inexplicably comforted and gave up the idea of ​​sending her to the Ye Ting. Considering that she had just spoken for him, he would let her continue to occupy the title of this girl.

After a pause, looking at Yi Xiaochuan's angry eyes, Yi Huawei smiled and said, "You are well-educated and respect history. I want to ask, according to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, is it enough to execute your entire clan for colluding with the rebels and having an affair with the empress? Have I wronged you?"

"........."

Yi Xiaochuan's face turned red and he stared at Yi Huawei without saying a word.

"Nothing to say, or nothing to say?"

Seeing Yi Xiaochuan's doubtful look, Yi Huawei rolled up his sleeves and smiled faintly: "It is said that a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of absence. Do you think you are the only one who can read? Do you think my current position is all obtained by flattery?

Hehe~, I know, because I come from a poor family, you always look down on me and my sister. But it doesn't matter, things will change. How does it feel to be stepped on by someone you usually look down on? Are you very angry? Do you want to tear me into pieces? Hahaha~, it's a pity that with your ability, it will never be possible. "

Turning his head to look at Xiaoyue who was choking with sobs, Yi Huawei said with a smile: "I said I won't kill him. I want to keep him and let him watch me reach the top step by step. The dungeon is damp, go back and rest early. In the future, practice more music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Once you are not bored, you will not have random thoughts."

After saying that, Yi Huawei took out a silk handkerchief from his sleeve pocket and threw it to Xiaoyue, then turned and walked towards the exit.

...............

Qin Palace.

"That's how it is, so Master Yi won't die for the time being..."

"Ogawa~~Wuwuwu~~~~"

After hearing Xiaoyue say that Yi Xiaochuan was thrown into prison, Yu Shu sat up, her face as pale as paper, her eyes a little swollen from crying too much, her pretty face had lost its former radiance, her brows were furrowed, as if she was enduring great pain.

He only told Yu Shu about Yi Xiaochuan being thrown into prison, and selectively concealed some things.

Looking at Yu Su's tearful face, Xiao Yue's mind suddenly rang with what Yi Huawei said about having an affair. She shook her head vigorously to get rid of the thought from her mind.

"My queen, my queen, please don't cry! You will hurt your health if you cry like this!"

Sitting in front of the bed, Xiaoyue gently held Yushu's hand. She immediately felt that Yushu's little hand was cold, as if it had lost the temperature of life. Thinking of the punishment that Yi Xiaochuan had suffered, Xiaoyue felt a pain in her heart and gently stroked the back of Yushu's hand, trying to calm her down.
