Su Bei paused, snorted, and said, "Princess, you can tell me what you want, but there are some things I may not be able to help with."
She was just thinking that if Ah Xi really wanted to die, no one would find out. He hanged himself and was rescued. It must be Mo Qingying who did this in order to see her and make her continue to help Mo Qingying.
Or do you want to reconcile with Chu Younan?
Su Bei thought: This is probably impossible. If you had rejected Feng Cuiliu from the beginning, maybe it wouldn't have come to this point today.
Mo Qingying obviously knew this, so her request was beyond Su Bei's expectations. "I want food, water, and charcoal, according to the usual quota."
This was beyond Su Bei's expectations, but also within his expectations.
When people are in danger, the first thing they need to do is to protect themselves. Fame and profit will naturally be put aside.
Su Bei nodded, "I'll take her out, and I'll find a way to send the one you want in."
Mo Qingying grinned grimly, "I made such a big fuss just for a meal? You can't take her away! From now on, you have to bring me enough food, water, and charcoal every day. If you don't, Asi will be punished!" Her voice became louder and louder, and in the end, she was hoarse.
Su Bei was furious. He pulled out the hairpin on his head and rushed towards Asi. He Feng Cuiliu stepped forward to stop him, but the two of them were exhausted and were no match for Su Bei. After a few moves, they were both injured.
One was stabbed in the arm and the other in the leg.
Su Bei hurried to Ah Xi. She thought Ah Xi would beg her to take her away. But to her surprise, Ah Xi looked at He Feng Cui Liu in great sorrow and shouted at Su Bei, "Don't hurt them!"
That look was full of concern, confusion, and pain.
Su Bei was puzzled. She whispered, "Ah Xi, I'll take you away. They hurt you. I'll take you out."
But Ah Xi shook his head and said, "Ah Bei, they didn't hurt me. You don't know that the food they brought to us every day was always cold, and sometimes even rotten. All the charcoal was only enough for the princess's room. We were worse off than being in prison!"
Su Bei was even more puzzled. She brought food to Asi every day, so she shouldn't starve. So why did she start to speak up for Mo Qingying?
"That's their business. I'll take you out, and you won't have to suffer from hunger and cold in the future." Su Bei thought that she was beaten like this by these people, and her voice became softer.
But Ah Xi shook his head firmly, "Abei, we are together, I can't abandon them."
"Ah Xi..." Su Bei looked at her puzzledly, "What's wrong with you?"
Without waiting for Ah Xi to speak, Mo Qingying burst into laughter, "Ah Bei, look! Ah Xi knows it all, we are together, we came to Prince Su's Mansion together, we prosper together and suffer together. Why don't you understand? Even if you are favored today, as long as I am still locked up here, you are the fishbone in the prince's throat, you are my Mo Qingying's dowry girl, you are the secret stake I placed by his side..."
"Enough!" Su Bei turned around and interrupted her, "If you two are really together, then what about Ah Xi hanging himself?"
Mo Qingying just smiled and said nothing, but Ah Xi spoke up: "Ah Bei, I'm sorry, we really couldn't live like this anymore, so I pretended to hang myself to trick you in. Ah Bei, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have lied to you!"
Su Bei turned his head and saw Ah Xi's face full of shame, looking at him pitifully, just like a poor puppy.
She thought that the problem could be solved by forcibly taking Asi out, but she didn't expect that things here were different from what she expected.
"Are you really not leaving?" she asked again.
Ah Xi hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand to hold her sleeve, and said timidly: "A Bei, I know you can get some food in, please help us..."
Su Bei gently held her hand and pulled it away from his sleeve, then slowly stood up, looked at her and said coldly: "Ah Xi, I can't control this matter, this is a matter between them. If you leave, I will take you out even if I get punished or beaten, but if you don't leave, I won't control this matter anymore."
Ah Xi's face turned pale. She got up from the ground, hugged Su Bei's legs, and begged, "Ah Bei, have you forgotten? I shared the food with you before. I took care of you when you were knocked unconscious. I also made clothes and shoes for you. Have you forgotten all that?"
Su Bei didn't forget, he just didn't understand.
She squatted down again, stroked Ah Xi's hair, and said, "I'll say it again, come with me, or you stay, I don't care about anything, it's your choice."
Ah Xi didn't say anything, but Mo Qingying seemed a little anxious. She shouted, "Abei! If you don't do as I say, we won't let Ah Xi go!"
Su Bei ignored her, just stared at Ah Xi and said slowly: "Have you made your choice?"
Asi hesitated and didn't speak for a long time.
Su Bei held her hand again, prying open her fingers one by one, and said in a cold voice, "Ah Xi, if you don't leave, I won't come in again."
Ah Xi suddenly took a few deep breaths, then said, "I'm leaving! I'm going with you!"
Ordinarily this should be a relief, but Su Bei saw that Asi's eyes were full of reluctance.
When she came a few days ago, Ah Xi was still complaining, how could Ah Xi become like this in just a dozen days? Su Bei said nothing, she helped Ah Xi stand up, and walked to the door while saying: "I promised you to bring food, water and charcoal in, and I will do it. But it's not as good as you think, I will only do it once."
Mo Qingying gritted her teeth, "Abei! You are so cruel!"
She looked at Hefeng Cuiliu, but saw that their wounds were still bleeding. She swallowed her words and could only watch Abei take Axi away.
Asi seemed to be thinner, he walked unsteadily, and he didn't seem to be in good spirits.
After walking out of the dormitory door, Su Bei asked, "Ah Xi, what happened to you? Did they beat you?"
"No." Asi shook his head slowly, looking hesitant.
Su Bei asked again: "Did Mo Qingying ask He Feng Cui Liu to do something to you?"
Ah Xi shuddered, then lowered his head even lower, "No..."
Her tone was full of guilt.
Su Bei seemed to understand something.
Those two were undoubtedly men, and Mo Qingying might have let them bully Ah Xi. Ah Xi might have fallen in love with the person who abused him during the process of being bullied.
3050, call it Stockholm syndrome.
This disease is difficult to cure, but it can be cured.
They soon arrived at the gate, only to see Zhong Mao still standing outside. Seeing Su Bei helping Ah Xi out, Zhong Mao frowned even more tightly, "Miss Ah Bei! The prince ordered..."
"I'll tell him tonight!" Su Bei interrupted him without hesitation, "Ah Xi is just a servant girl. I don't believe that the prince will not allow me to have a servant girl!"
When he heard "tell him at night", Zhong Mao and the soldiers in the palace started to imagine.
Two people, head to head, face to face, arms around waists, whispering in each other's ears.
I'm afraid the prince will really agree...
The corner of Zhong Mao's mouth twitched as he watched Su Bei take Asi away.
After leaving the yard, Asi sighed faintly, then turned his head and looked over, with a look of attachment and dependence in his eyes.
