Chapter 34 When the King is not sleeping, you are not allowed to sleep either

Yun Qingshi opened his eyes speechlessly, his unhappiness visible to the naked eye, as if he was too lazy to even act.

He looked at his wrist held in the man's hand again before frowning and asking, "What's going on? I'm going to sleep."

No matter how urgent the situation outside was, it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't plan to go out and join in the fun. He really wanted to go to bed.

But Prince Xiao obviously didn't give the young man the right to choose. He then directly pulled Yun Qingshi up and said nastily: "When I don't sleep, you are not allowed to sleep either."

Yun Qingshi: ...

Yun Qingshi really didn't know what to say about Xiao Jiwu.

Is this something a normal person can say?

Don’t sleep yourself and don’t let others sleep!

Is this really reasonable?

And he is a wounded man!

It's so annoying!

Yun Qingshi lowered his eyes, not intending to respond, nor showing any intention of getting up.

He chose to remain silent.

The dissatisfaction in the boy's eyes was so obvious that Xiao Jiwu naturally saw it, but he quickly pinched the boy's wrist and spoke again as if urging him: "Shadow Eleven."

Yun Qingshi could no longer remain silent and pulled his wrist back in frustration before responding softly, "I understand."

Prince Xiao was finally satisfied. He quickly got up from the bed, put on his outer robe, and headed out of the hall. He also urged Yun Qingshi again: "Follow me."

Yun Qingshi was very annoyed and had to put on his clothes and follow him out reluctantly.

Then when he went out, he saw a thin maidservant tied up, gagged and thrown to the ground.

The guard next to him was reporting to Xiao Jiwu.

"Your Highness, this woman attempted to escape the palace by climbing over the wall, but was caught red-handed by my subordinates. She also attempted to commit suicide by taking poison, but was also stopped by my subordinates. This happened suddenly, and I am worried that this matter is not simple or has other implications, so I came to report this late at night. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiwu simply asked back calmly, "Has the case been tried?"

Yun Qingshi was thinking, isn't this the maid who went into Yian Palace and rummaged through things that day?

It seems like she is indeed a spy. Perhaps she is trying to escape because she was discovered by him...

Yun Qingshi felt a little cold in the wind and couldn't help but pull his clothes closer.

The guard quickly replied, "Your Highness, she refused to say anything and even tried to bite her tongue to commit suicide, so I blocked her mouth."

Hearing this, Xiao Jiwu gave the order without hesitation: "If you don't want to talk, forget it. Just beat him to death."

His voice was flat, as if he was narrating a trivial matter.

Xiao Jiwu then instructed Zhao Mingde beside him, "Gather all the servants in the mansion to come and watch the execution."

"Yes." Zhao Mingde nodded quickly and then told a few servants to call people.

But Yun Qingshi felt a chill on his back after hearing this.

But he changed his mind and realized that this was an ancient feudal dynasty after all, and as a prince, Xiao Jiwu did have the right to deal with his servants at will.

What's more, he is a spy.

But he really didn't want to see such a bloody scene. Could he go back to sleep?

He didn't even dare to watch a horror movie before, so is he going to be forced to face a murder scene today?

Yun Qingshi also suddenly felt a little scared, as he had offended Xiao Jiwu more than once before.

Although Xiao Jiwu had not bothered with him before, who knows what will happen in the future?

He can't be complacent. He should be more restrained in the future and be timid when necessary. What matters is his life.

Unfortunately, he has never had a sweet love, nor has he experienced the extreme pleasure described in novels.

If he died like this, it would be too unfair!

Thinking of this, Yun Qingshi made up his mind to try to stay as low-key as possible in the future.

He couldn't help but pull his clothes closer once more. Thinking about the possible scene that might happen soon, he felt even colder...

Hearing this, the maid on the ground was completely frightened. Her mouth, which was blocked by a rag, made a "wuwu" sound, and she began to struggle desperately, as if she had something to say.

But Xiao Jiwu seemed not to see it and still maintained a dignified and indifferent attitude.

Zhao Mingde had already ordered someone to bring out a chair. Xiao Jiwu slowly sat down on the chair, but suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Zhao Mingde, go get a cloak."

"Yes." Zhao Mingde hurriedly responded and went down to get the cloak.

In just a short moment, many maids and servants were already standing in the yard.

Yun Qingshi took a look and then looked away.

The captured maid was now pressed down on a stool.

The guards then began to wave the court sticks.

A dull sound was heard, and the maid's screams suddenly became even more miserable.

Unfortunately, his mouth was blocked, so the sound was miserable but not loud at all.

Yun Qingshi felt really uncomfortable listening to it, and he didn't even dare to look at it any longer, keeping his head down the whole time.

Until, his shoulders suddenly sank.

Yun Qingshi looked up in confusion and saw that it was Xiao Jiwu who had come to his side and put a cloak on his shoulders.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingde, who had just handed the cloak to his own prince, was filled with shock.

He thought that his prince wanted a cloak because he felt cold, but he never expected that the cloak was actually asked for by Ying Shiyi!

But when did their prince learn to take care of others?

Yun Qingshi was not too surprised. After all, none of the things that happened before were ordinary.

After a moment, he silently gathered his cloak around his shoulders.

After thinking about it, he finally said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Hearing this, Prince Xiao couldn't help but curl his lips, and pinched the boy's cheek before sitting back in his chair.

In the courtyard, the dull sound of the cane never stopped.

Yun Qingshi couldn't help but look up and was immediately startled.

Thanks to the lighting from the lanterns in the yard, he could see clearly that the maid had been beaten and was bleeding below the waist.

Blood soaked her clothes, and the maid's screams became weaker and weaker, as if she had been beaten half to death.

Yun Qingshi didn't dare to look around anymore and lowered his head again in panic.

It was at this moment that Prince Xiao finally raised his hand.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingde quickly shouted to the two guards: "Stop, stop now!"

Hearing the sound, the guards quickly stopped their actions.

Prince Xiao took a leisurely sip of tea before asking, "Now, are you willing to talk?"

The maid seemed to see hope when she heard this, and nodded with her last bit of strength.

Xiao Jiwu then gave Zhao Mingde a look.

Zhao Mingde understood what she meant and quickly stepped forward to remove the rag from the maid's mouth. He urged her sharply, "Then tell me who sent you to Prince Yi's Mansion."
