Chapter 70: Shen Tingsi Arrives

After listening to this, Xie Yingmian sighed, "I understand."

"Struggling for power, killing each other, the royal family is still as bloody as ever."

Yu Lingye said: "Oh?"

Xie Yingmian: "History books are full of stories of cannibalism."

“History is the history of the victors.”

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there is struggle. A simple sentence in a history book can lead to devastating suffering and misery in the real world."

"The struggle within the royal family has never stopped."

"To be precise, the struggle for rights will never stop as long as there are people."

"How ridiculous." Xie Yingmian scoffed, thinking of his teammates who had died in vain. "Even though these people can only gather in a small base to survive and might die tomorrow, they are still scheming and ostracizing each other."

The topic is a bit off topic.

Xie Yingmian pulled it back in time.

"I just said it out of my own feeling, just complaining, don't take it seriously."

"Anyway, it's a good thing the Queen Mother didn't summon me to the palace. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

Yu Lingye's eyes were dim.

The small base, does it refer to Zhuangzi?

Do the people in Zhuangzi also exclude each other and engage in intrigue?

It must be very difficult for her, an orphan abandoned by the Xie family, to live in such a place.

"Is the Si Zun of the Six Punishments Department very good at martial arts?" Xie Yingmian asked another question.

Yu Lingye's tone was inexplicably tinged with danger: "Why are you asking about this?"

Xie Yingmian said, "You know, I grew up on the farm and know nothing about the dignitaries in the capital."

She actually has no interest in the Six Punishments Department.

What she was interested in was the eunuch in charge of the Six Punishments Department.

Eunuchs like these in the prison department all have some perverted elements in them.

She wanted to see how perverted this eunuch Si Zun had to be to scare a tough girl like Madam Fang like that.

"Before, his kung fu was extremely high." Yu Lingye said.

"Before?"

"He was seriously injured and his body is damaged, so he can't use his kung fu to its full potential."

"Oh? He couldn't find the right technique?"

"I guess so."

Xie Yingmian thought that perhaps there were no martial arts secret manuals like the Sunflower Manual in this era.

If there was a peerless martial art like the Sunflower Manual suitable for eunuchs to practice, that Lord Sidian would definitely be able to make further progress.

"That's a pity," she said.

When Yu Lingye heard the word "what a pity", he was in a trance for a while.

Ever since Shen Tingsi was injured, the two words he heard most often were "what a pity".

Chen Tingsi was born into a noble family, was handsome, had excellent martial arts skills, was talented, and had a strong ability to solve cases. He was the well-deserved number one nobleman in Shangjing.

After becoming disabled, these compliments became his shackles.

Everyone said it was a pity for Shen Tingsi.

At the beginning, most people felt regretful.

In the end, the word "what a pity" was said so often that it became his exclusive laughing stock.

Fear those who have, laugh at those who don’t.

Whether you are a powerful person or a common villain, human nature is like this.

Under the rumors, the elegant and graceful young man, who was as beautiful as the stars and the moon, gradually turned into the gloomy and violent official of the Six Punishments Department, who was feared by everyone.

Different from those “what a pity”s that were obviously sarcastic, Xie Yingmian’s “what a pity” was sincere.

I remembered what Xie Yingmian mentioned about twisting silk to reconnect broken arms.

Yu Lingye asked, "If you saw him, could you diagnose and treat him?"

Xie Yingmian closed her eyes and replied nonchalantly, "No."

"Maybe somewhere else, that location is different."

"The structure there is very complex, and the possibility of restoration is very small."

"If it was freshly cut and kept fresh, there might be a chance. But for someone like him who had it cut off long ago, there's almost no chance of recovery. It's better to give up on this idea."

"Being a eunuch is pretty good. You have power and money. Except for not being able to have children, everything else is what others dream of."

"Children are a debt. To be debt-free is to be free. It is better not to have any."

Yu Lingye's face darkened when he heard this.

"You misunderstood. Shen Tingsi is not a eunuch. His physical disability is not the kind of disability that a eunuch has."

"He injured both arms."

"You said that if the poison of the silk-binding poison is removed, the severed arm can be reattached."

"He's been broken for three years and his physical condition isn't very good. If you meet him, can you tell if he's suitable for an arm transplant?"

Xie Yingmian didn't respond for a long time.

Yu Lingye only then noticed that Xie Yingmian had fallen asleep at some point.

The person who was still talking non-stop the moment before was already fast asleep the next moment. Yu Lingye was speechless.

He covered Xie Yingmian with a blanket.

After pondering for a moment, he turned around and wrote a letter.

"Heavenly Armor."

Tianjia appeared in the house like a ghost.

"Go to the Six Punishments Department and make sure to hand this letter to him."

"Tell him again that I'll wait for him to have tea."

Tianjia was a little hesitant.

"What do you want to say?" Yu Lingye asked.

Tianjia said: "Your Highness should know Lord Shen's character."

"Lord Shen is rarely seen anymore."

"If it's a letter, he will read it, but it would be difficult to invite him to the palace."

What's more, we just come here for tea.

Yu Lingye: "He will come."

Just as Yu Lingye said.

Not long after Tianjia delivered the letter.

A tall, thin, pale-skinned young man entered Danyue Courtyard with a child about ten years old.

The man is cool, noble and handsome.

But the cuffs on both sides were empty.

His brows were furrowed, his eyes were cold, and he was filled with gloom.

Fu Mo didn't know that Tianjia had sent a letter.

When he first saw Shen Tingsi, he was startled.

"Master Shen, why are you here?"

"Isn't the Sixth Punishment Department busy lately?"

"Oh, I see. You're here for Diao Yu, the Palace Master of Jueming Palace, right?"

"If you want to ask about this, why bother coming here in person? Just ask someone else to ask me."

Chen Tingsi glanced at Fu Mo and said in a low voice, "The Wood Prison has a new punishment. Do you want to try it?"

The child beside Shen Tingsi enthusiastically introduced it to Fu Mo: "Brother Fu Mo, the new punishment of the Wood Prison is very interesting."

"My Lord has found a special seed that grows wildly when exposed to blood."

"We stuffed the seeds under the prisoners' feet. When the seeds came into contact with blood, they grew rapidly and soon became plants."

"The prisoner has become a plant prisoner. There are leaves in his mouth, eyes, and nose. It's so interesting. His heart can even bloom. The flowers are so beautiful. If Brother Fu Mo likes it, I will pick one for you next time."

The vein on Fu Mo's forehead jumped several times.

God knows how horrible it is for this child to say these bloody words with a cute tone and a lovely face.

"Little Kui, be good. I don't like flowers." Fu Mo said.

Xiao Kui was very disappointed: "So that's how it is."

"So, do you like seeds?"

"I can secretly get you one."

"When you want to die, just cut your skin and plant the seed, and you will turn into a plant. It will be a bit painful when you die, but after death you will be beautiful. It is the most beautiful way to die I have ever seen."

"Oh, and I can also help you preserve the heart flower."

"I will make the flower of your heart into an everlasting flower, so that you will never wither."

Fu Mo's face turned dark: Thank you.
