Chapter 563 This is my name
Yan Heqing was well aware of Master Xuqing's concerns. Princess Yizhen's identity was extremely sensitive, and having too much contact with her would always be a trouble for him.
He replied: "Today was an accident."
Master Xuqing said no more.
"Master, I have changed my clothes."
At this time, Princess Yizhen's voice came from the meditation room.
The two entered the meditation room.
When Princess Yizhen saw him follow in, surprise flashed in her bright eyes, and her hands unconsciously clutched her clothes, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
He understood and turned his back.
Suddenly, he heard Master Xu Qing say, "Child, your old injury is too serious. It has already formed a boil. Why don't you seek treatment? If you delay for another ten days or half a month, your legs will be crippled."
Hearing this, he subconsciously turned his head and saw that her exposed legs were covered with bruises, with black blood scabs on the whip wounds, and the edges of the wounds were red, with faint signs of festering.
And this is not the most serious injury on her legs. Compared with her two knees, these injuries are considered minor.
Princess Yizhen's knees were originally swollen, with scars of various sizes crisscrossing across them, like a piece of exquisite porcelain covered with cracks.
I fell today and the scabbed wound split open, exposing my knee bone, which looked particularly scary.
With such a serious injury, even lying down and doing nothing would cause unbearable pain.
But she was born into a wealthy family and should have lived a life of luxury and been the center of attention.
Now she is only in her early teens, and not only has she endured inhuman torture, but she has also had to endure the pain and do rough labor just to earn a living.
Even an adult man's endurance is probably not as good as hers.
Yizhen pursed her lips tightly and did not answer Master Xuqing's words.
Master Xuqing removed the dead flesh from Princess Yizhen's knees, cleaned the blood scabs on her legs one by one, reapplied medicinal powder, and carefully bandaged the wounds.
Yizhen thanked him softly: "Master, thank you very much."
"If you want to thank me, then change the medicine on time." Master Xuqing was already in his seventies, and had long since gained a deep understanding of the world, a broad-minded and detached mind. Even now, he felt a pity for Princess Yizhen. "Heqing, send this child back."
He turned around and saw Princess Yizhen sitting on the couch with her back stiff, her hair at the temples soaked with sweat, her watery and bright eyes were red, making her face look even paler.
During the entire process, she only made sounds of pain when she couldn't help it.
If it were him, he might not be more tolerant than her.
"There are no maids in the temple." He explained to Princess Yizhen, "I'm sorry for the offense."
He picked up Yizhen by the waist and realized that the clothes she was wearing were soaked with cold sweat from the pain.
Such a delicate and fragile little girl can endure pain that ordinary people cannot endure. It can be seen that this is not the first time she has suffered such a serious injury. It is obviously a common occurrence.
He noticed that the person in his arms was stiff and seemed to be rejecting him, so he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Suddenly, the person in her arms asked her, "Where are you taking me?"
He whispered back, "Your injuries are extremely serious, and you can't walk. You should stay in the temple so that Master Xuqing can change your dressings." Then he added, "As for your royal brother, I've sent someone to take care of him."
Princess Yizhen looked at him in astonishment, as if she didn't expect that he would be willing to show kindness to her after knowing her identity.
Looking at the entire Northern Qi, except for the masters of the national temple.
Yan Heqing was the first person to lend a helping hand to the brother and sister.
For a moment, she was a little overwhelmed.
He received no response, so he turned the corner and went to the dormitory. He put Princess Yizhen on the bed, told her to have a good rest, and prepared to leave.
The next moment, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "Can you tell me your last name?"
He was stunned and looked down.
Their eyes met.
Her watery eyes revealed a stubbornness, as if she would not let go of his sleeve until she got the answer she wanted.
He pulled her sleeve back from her hand little by little, watching her clear and bright eyes dim little by little, and then her head slowly drooped, and an air of loss emanated from her whole body.
He glanced at his wrinkled sleeves and spoke slowly: "Yan."
Princess Yizhen looked at him suddenly.
"Yan Heqing," he said, "that's my name."
She pursed her lips and smiled, her clear eyes revealing the innocent joy unique to a little girl: "Brother Yan, I will repay you in the future."
He thought: No matter how much suffering she experienced, her heart was always clean and pure, and was not tainted by the filth of the world.
So, her happiness comes so easily.
He didn't take her words to heart.
Because, in his opinion, today's encounter was just a chance encounter.
They will never have any intersection again.
Returning to the dormitory next door, he instructed the young monk to go to the nearby village to find a skillful and honest woman to take care of Princess Yizhen.
The next day, he took Yan down the mountain early and returned to the Prince's Mansion.
Things in the world are always so wonderful. Once you know that there is such a person in the world, you will often hear news about such a person.
He originally thought that he would never have any contact with Princess Yizhen again, but from then on he would often hear news about her.
For example, a young man kidnapped the brother and sister and tortured them.
For example, a young lady sent someone to take her to a banquet for entertainment, but she ended up falling into a lotus pond and almost lost her life.
For example, in order to have enough food to eat, she secretly went to various houses to take on the work of washing clothes. When she was delivering the washed clothes to the customers, she was stopped and the clothes were cut into pieces.
She held a pile of rags and cried with tears on her face. She went to each family to kowtow and apologize, asking them to give her time and she would earn money to compensate them.
Each and every incident revealed the difficult situation that the brothers and sisters faced in Northern Qi.
But these are just the tip of the iceberg.
Until one day, in the bitter cold of winter, he saw Emperor Jing'an wearing a thin robe and tied to a pillar.
Princess Yizhen was tied to a corner with several iron chains around her neck, wearing only a shirt and no shoes, curled up in the cold. In front of her was a silver bowl filled with fat that had frozen into an ointment.
He learned from these playboys that she had been tied up in the doghouse for three days without a sip of water or a bite of food.
Their purpose in doing this was to force her to eat the frozen fat in the dog bowl.
In order to save Emperor Jing'an, she did as these playboys wished. She grabbed the fat meat with both hands and stuffed it into her mouth until she could not take any more. Her eyes were red from the stuffing, but she never shed a tear.
However, when she accidentally glanced at him, tears rolled down her eyes without warning.
