Su Bei hurriedly said: "Wait outside, I'll just..."

"Bring the person in!" Chu Younan said in a deep voice.

The door opened and Asi was carried in by Yun Rou and Yun Xi. Mu Mu knelt on the ground in a daze, and seemed not to even know how to salute.

Su Bei frowned, "Where did you find it?"

Yun Rou hesitated for a moment before she said, "She took food from our kitchen and sent it to Peony Pavilion. The people inside seemed to be waiting for her, and I caught her red-handed."

Su Bei was stunned. Asi had always been the one who was bullied. He finally got out, so why would he be thinking about sending things inside?

Could it be that she really had developed special feelings for Hefeng Cuiliu?

Chu Younan said slowly, "You came out. Did you plan this together?"

Ah Xi seemed to be out of her mind and didn't answer at all. Yun Xi had to scold her in a low voice: "The prince is asking you a question! Did you design you to come out just to steal things for them?"

Ah Xi suddenly came back to his senses and was immediately startled. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No! Stop hitting her! She's dying!"

Su Bei frowned again. What happened to Ah Xi? Chu Younan got off the ground, took the cloak and put it on, then slowly walked in front of Ah Xi, looked down at her, and shouted, "Stand up!"

Asi seemed to be unconscious, and Yun Xi and Yun Rou helped her stand up.

Chu Younan stood in front of her like a pine tree, blocking the light of the candle. Ah Xi seemed to gradually calm down in the shadow.

"Tell the truth, or you will suffer physical pain." Chu Younan said slowly.

Asi looked up, his eyes were first frightened, then flickered, and then gradually became confused, but it seemed that he said nothing.

But Chu Younan turned around and said to Su Bei, "She said that Hefeng Cuiliu locked her in a room every day and didn't beat or scold her, but they kept beating and insulting Adong and forced her to watch. She said that they could have done this to her, but they didn't because they were so good to her."

Su Bei suddenly understood where Adong had gone. Adong was most likely the one who was most seriously injured, and what Hefeng Cuiliu did was to turn Axi into their slave.

Mental.

It made her feel like these people could do whatever they wanted to her, but they didn't. This was a great blessing to her.

That's why Axi was willing to act out this drama with them, and that's why he was willing to give them things.

From the bottom of his heart, Asi truly regarded them as his benefactors.

Complete domestication, complete Stockholm syndrome.

Su Bei suddenly stood up and said hurriedly: "Adong! Adong may not be able to survive!"

Chu Younan's eyes darkened, and he turned around and ordered, "You two, go to the Peony Pavilion and find Ah Dong!"

Yun Rou and Yun Xi didn't hear Ah Xi speak just now, and were wondering, then they heard Chu Younan say a lot, and then Su Bei talked about Ah Dong. The two were confused and felt as if they were out of rhythm.

However, they did not dare to disobey and quickly turned around and left.

Asi lost her support and sat on the ground again, but this time, she seemed to be a little awake.

"Adong is so pitiful... She has always been loyal to the princess... The princess asked them to choose... They chose Adong... Fortunately it wasn't me... Fortunately it wasn't me..."

She muttered, her eyes unfocused.

"Knife, scissors, needles... they stabbed and prodded her... they were men... they even stripped her clothes in front of me... they said they didn't have long to live anyway... Ah Dong said she was in pain... but the more she screamed, the harder they pushed..."

Su Bei could imagine how violent and terrifying the scene was. No wonder Asi became like this.

"Madame Gui was watching right beside us... She said these two were given to you as rewards... But they said they couldn't bear to touch me... They were so nice to me..." Ah Xi looked up at the candle on the table, and there seemed to be light in her eyes, as if her savior was standing there.

Su Bei couldn't help it, he went forward and hugged her, and kept comforting her: "Ah Xi, wake up, they are together, they are all doing it on purpose, they just want you to become their slave!"

Ah Xi shuddered violently, and trembled in her arms. "Ah Bei! Why did you leave by yourself without taking me? It's so scary, they are so scary. They said that if Ah Dong died, they would have meat to eat..."

Su Bei hugged her tightly, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, Chu Younan's voice came from behind him: "A Bei is the one I wanted. I know that she went to bring you food. She is really good to you!"

Ah Xi seemed to be stunned for a moment, then looked up at Su Bei, as if he was dreaming, "Ah Bei, I'm out?"

"Now that you're out, you'll never go back." Su Bei gently stroked the top of her head. Asi often did rough work and had a strong build, but her hair was fine and soft, just like her personality.

Ah Xi exhaled, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Bei in panic, "They said that if I don't obey, they will treat me like they did to Ah Dong!"

Su Bei tightened his arms again and said in a deep voice: "Ah Xi, listen to me. You are in my Fengyao Pavilion. As long as the princess doesn't come out, I am the second most important person in the palace. No one dares to bully the people around me!"

Chu Younan watched silently with the corners of his lips slightly raised. It seemed that Xiao Beibei finally understood the role of power. So, did she still want to leave the palace and become a commoner?

Not long after, Yun Rou's voice came from outside the door again: "Your Majesty! Ah Dong has been found in the side room, covered in wounds and dying!"

As if he was afraid that Chu Younan would have Ah Dong thrown away, Su Bei hurriedly said, "Find the court doctor to see her! Make sure she is saved!"

Chu Younan didn't say anything. He heard Su Bei thinking: After being abused like this, Adong must be thinking about revenge. If he is saved, he will be a good helper.

His little Beibei has never been a pure white swan, but this time, Mo Qingying stepped on her tail.

He, wait and see.

That night, Su Bei and Chu Younan lay quietly on the warm kang, and no one spoke.

But Su Bei had a lot of thoughts in his mind, which were all overheard by Chu Younan.

She came from a place where her life was in danger every day. The team members there were like family members. Of course, not every team was like this. Before joining this team, Su Bei had changed several teams.

Some people framed each other for food.

Some force women to exchange their bodies for food and protection.

Only the last one, the captain said: "In my team, food is fair and women are protected."

But zombies are fair to everyone, regardless of gender, age or status. Once bitten, the worst outcome is mutation or death.

At the last moment of Su Bei's life, a zombie bit off his neck...

Chu Younan clearly felt her tremble, and he quickly pulled her into his arms.

This seemed to be the first time that Su Bei, who was awake, felt that a broad chest could make her feel so at ease...
