Chapter 15: Selling your body in exchange for freedom is not worth being happy about at all!
Yun Qingshi couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard this. He also understood that if Xiao Jiwu didn't come back, he would probably not be able to get out of this door today.
Of course he was unhappy that he had lost his only freedom.
This is called illegal detention. Are there any human rights left?
However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, Yun Qingshi did not express it to Zhao Mingde.
Not only because the first person who showed kindness to him after he traveled through the book was Zhao Mingde, but also because every wrong has its perpetrator, and he had no reason to implicate others.
All the bad things were done by Xiao Jiwu!
So he just said, "Okay then."
But no matter how you look at him, he seems a little listless.
Zhao Mingde breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "Master Eleven, I'm glad you understand."
Perhaps Zhao Mingde also noticed the boy's frustration. After a pause, he added with sympathy: "I know it's probably not easy for you, but... just get through it, and everything will be fine."
"......Okay." Upon hearing this, Yun Qingshi responded weakly and perfunctorily, then turned back into the hall and closed the door.
Get through it?
He thought, there’s no way I can get through this, okay?
According to the original plot, Ying Shiyi did not have a good ending.
So he had to find a way.
Yun Qingshi sighed helplessly, then went back to the couch and lay down in a daze.
Until the palace door was pushed open, footsteps were heard.
Then came Zhao Mingde's voice: "Master Eleven, your medicine is ready."
Yun Qingshi thought it was Xiao Jiwu who came back, and he couldn't help but get nervous when he heard the footsteps. It was not until he saw that it was only Zhao Mingde who came to deliver medicine that he finally let go of his worries.
But, I have to take medicine again...
Thinking of the bitterness of the medicine, Yun Qingshi frowned instinctively, but he still slowly got up from the couch and walked to the table, then quietly picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all.
Zhao Mingde then left with the empty medicine bowl.
Yun Qingshi turned back to the couch and took a piece of dessert from the plate on the small table to eat to suppress the bitter taste of the medicine.
Think of something good, at least now he can eat Xiao Jiwu's snacks...
But, that’s bullshit!
Selling your body in exchange for freedom is not worth being happy about at all!
Yun Qingshi snorted coldly, feeling upset.
But he didn't let himself be idle and think about random things. Instead, he went to the bookshelf and picked up a book to read.
It is a novel of heroic deeds and fiction, not something Xiao Jiwu would read.
Yun Qingshi didn't choose and started to look through it quickly. After all, he was really bored and scared these two days.
During this time, Zhao Mingde brought in breakfast again.
The food he ate was much better than what Yun Qingshi had eaten a few days ago. He guessed it was Zhao Mingde's kindness. After all, that dog Xiao Jiwu didn't care about his life or death.
After breakfast, Yun Qingshi went back to the inner room to read the storybook.
Just as he turned the pages of the storybook back two more times, the palace door was pushed open again from the outside.
Yun Qingshi had just intentionally lowered the curtain separating the inner and outer rooms, so he was looking outside through a layer of gauze.
The place where he sat was chosen specially, and it was blocked by a wooden partition. People coming in from outside would not be able to notice him unless they looked carefully.
But on the contrary, he could see the entire outside room through the hollow space of the partition.
This was what Yun Qingshi did intentionally. He thought that when Xiao Jiwu suddenly came back, he would be able to react quickly and would not be too passive.
Back to this moment, Yun Qingshi felt relieved when he saw a maid coming in with cleaning tools.
He didn't say anything and didn't take it seriously.
But from time to time, he couldn't help but glance outside.
Then, as he watched, Yun Qingshi discovered something was wrong.
At first, the man was really dusting the dust with a duster, but gradually something went wrong.
It didn't look like he was cleaning, but more like he was flipping through something on the desk.
Yun Qingshi didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone, so he patiently looked at it for a while. Only after he was sure that he was not mistaken did he speak: "What are you doing?"
Yun Qingshi didn't think much about it. At this moment, he just thought that the other party was an ordinary cleaning maid who wanted to steal things for money.
He was not really trying to protect Xiao Jiwu's interests, but since he was here, if something was really lost in Yian Palace, it would easily be blamed on him.
He didn't want to be wronged for no reason, so he had no choice but to stop it.
The maidservant obviously had not thought that there was someone else in the hall. The moment she heard the words, she froze there.
After all, they were usually assigned to clean when Prince Yi was not around.
Besides, Manager Zhao was still at the door. It was rare that he didn't follow her and stare at her today, so she dared to take action.
But she never thought that there would be another person in the room.
But the maid quickly calmed down, put down the duster, pretended to be calm, walked to the desk and whispered, "Which sir is this? I didn't know there was anyone in the hall. Please forgive me, sir."
Yun Qingshi slowly stood up and walked over to open the curtain: "It's me, the prince's secret guard, Ying Shiyi."
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately knelt and saluted: "Master Eleven, please forgive me."
Yun Qingshi frowned and glanced at the desk behind the maid, paused before speaking again.
He said, "You can go out now. There's no need to clean up here for now."
The things were not lost, and Yun Qingshi was too lazy to pursue the matter.
After hearing this, the maid bent her knees again, then took the things and hurriedly left Yian Palace with her head lowered.
Yun Qingshi watched the other party leave the door before moving to the desk to take a look, but he couldn't figure out anything.
There was nothing else on the table except pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and a few simple military books.
If you wanted to steal something valuable, you wouldn't be looking for it here on the desk...
Could it be? A spy!?
The more Yun Qingshi thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right.
But, never mind, the other party didn’t succeed anyway, and it wouldn’t be his business if it happens again.
He is not the real Ying Eleven, so he doesn't bother to care about Xiao Jiwu's troubles. It would be better to spend his time thinking about how to make this damn man lose interest in him.
Or, thinking about how to detoxify his body is also something he should consider.
Maybe I can try to find a doctor outside...
Yun Qingshi thought so while stroking his chin. After a while, he slowly returned to the inner room, protecting his wound and continuing to read.
But this morning was really exciting.
Annoying!
————
It was not until the evening when the sky gradually darkened that a certain prince returned to Yian Palace.
At that time, Yun Qingshi had almost read half of the notebook in his hand.
The advantage of the position he deliberately chose was also reflected at this moment.
Seeing that it was Xiao Jiwu who came back this time, Yun Qingshi immediately hid the storybook under the cushion, then stood up while covering his wound, lifted the curtain and greeted him: "The prince is back."
Why did you come back?
