The candlelight flickered on and then went out.
Inside the house, blood flowed like a river.
The air was thick with the pungent, acrid smell of blood.
All the people Jiang Chi sent were dead.
More than a dozen corpses lay scattered about, covered in blood.
A blood-stained hand, with a deep wound on its palm revealing bone, struggled to emerge from a pile of corpses...
That hand was muscular and bony, so thin it was almost skin and bones, yet it was incredibly strong.
Yuan Yuan pushed aside a corpse blocking his way, revealing his wet head.
The few remaining clothes on his body had been torn to shreds and were soaked in blood...
Just crawling out of the pile of corpses had nearly exhausted all of Yuan Yuan's strength.
He was covered in blood, breathing weakly, and found a relatively clean chair to climb onto.
That one movement almost pulled him out of his unconscious state.
It's a miracle that they survived when outnumbered.
His body was covered with wounds, big and small.
The wound had been soaking in blood for several hours, and had become red, swollen, and whitish, which was quite gruesome.
Yuan Yuan was parched and wanted to find water, but found that there was no water to drink in the house.
Yuan Yuan was thirsty and tired, and curled up wearily in the chair.
He lifted his eyelids and looked out through the torn window paper.
The sky gradually brightened.
Yuan Yuan turned his head and looked at the corpses lying all over the ground.
His gaze fell on certain places that couldn't be seen by outsiders, and he couldn't help but feel nauseous, trying to gag.
However, my stomach was already completely empty.
Yuan Yuan exhaled the last mouthful of sour water, let out a breath of stale air, clenched his wounded hand, and slowly closed his eyes.
He was too tired.
These days of despair, I wonder when they will end...
"Whoosh..."
A bucket of cold water poured over Yuan Yuan, soaking him completely.
His eyelids twitched, and he slowly woke up.
The light was too bright.
Yuan Yuan raised his hand and shielded his forehead.
He looked up at the person blocking the sunlight.
Jiang Chi was dressed in a dark purple brocade robe, with a large jade pendant hanging at his waist, its long tassels fluttering in the wind, and his body was spotless.
Seeing Yuan Yuan open his eyes, Jiang Chi's sinister eyes flashed with excitement: "Yuan Yuan, you really didn't disappoint me!"
Yuan Yuan: "..."
His bloodless, dry, almost cracked lips moved slightly: "Jiang Chi, kill me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chi scoffed, "I told you, I won't kill you!"
Yuan Yuan lifted his eyelids and stared at him coldly.
Jiang Chi bent down, wanting to pinch Yuan Yuan's chin: "Come, let this prince see how many of your pride bones are broken?"
"Get out!" Yuan Yuan turned his head away.
Jiang Chi squinted: "Someone, give Young Master Yuan a good cleaning first!"
This stench of blood is giving this prince a headache.
The lackey beside him immediately responded, "Yes, sir!"
Soon, two buckets of cold water were brought up: "Your Highness, the water is here."
Jiang Chi turned his head.
He glanced into the bucket and said menacingly, "I said I'd give Young Master Yuan a wash!"
"How dare you presume to know my thoughts? What, do you want to die?"
The lackey, terrified, knocked over the bucket and fell heavily to his knees, crying out, "Your Highness, I was wrong! Please spare my life!"
Jiang Chi shouted, "Get down and take your punishment!"
The lackey trembled and crawled out of the courtyard gate on his knees.
After everyone left, Jiang Chi coldly said, "Someone, take Yuan Yuan with you and come with me!"
Yuan Yuan couldn't struggle and was carried away by several guards, following Jiang Chi...
The Fourth Prince's residence occupies a large area.
The mansion has no shortage of rooms.
Yuan Yuan was led to a clean and tidy room.
While they were still in the courtyard, Jiang Chi said, "Strip him naked!"
Stripped bare?
Yuan Yuan shoved the people holding him away, shouting, "Who dares to touch me?!"
"Heh..." Jiang Chi sneered: "Yuan Yuan, do you think you are still that aloof and superior Young Master Yuan?"
"Didn't so many people touch you last night?"
Yuan Yuan: "..."
Jiang Chi waved his hand: "Xiao Xinzi, bring water and wash off the dirt on Young Master Yuan's body. Take him inside to bathe!"
"Make sure you thoroughly clean every inch of his skin for me!"
I don't know which word it was, but Yuan Yuan felt physically nauseous: "Ugh..."
Jiang Chi was standing right next to him and was startled.
He turned his head: "Yuan Yuan!"
Yuan Yuan gagged several times before trembling and looking at Jiang Chi in a hoarse voice: "Let me go! Don't touch me!"
In that instant, Jiang Chi seemed to understand something.
His eyes lit up with excitement and fervor: "Yuan Yuan, you..."
Yuan Yuan pursed his thin lips.
"Hahahaha..." Jiang Chi seemed to have been provoked, raising one hand: "Send Yuan Yuan in and wash him clean for this prince!"
Yuan Yuan tried to struggle, but was held down firmly by a group of people.
He spat out a mouthful of blood: "Jiang Chi! I'm going to kill you!"
Jiang Chi laughed with extraordinary enthusiasm: "We'll wait and see."
With a wave of his hand, he led Yuan Yuan into the room.
The door was slammed shut.
Yuan Yuan's strength had long been exhausted.
He was held down tightly, and his few remaining clothes, soaked in blood, were completely stripped off...
After an incense stick had burned, the door was opened.
A tall, thin eunuch stepped out of the door: "Your Highness."
Jiang Chi asked excitedly, "How is it?"
The young eunuch chuckled sinisterly and whispered, "Your Highness, didn't you say you wanted to use a special method to cleanse Young Master Yuan?"
After last night's sleep, he will not only be afraid of men, but he himself will never be a real man again.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Chi asked.
The young eunuch bowed and said, "Your Highness, this servant has checked everything."
"Hahahaha..." Jiang Chi laughed heartily.
He laughed until tears streamed down his face before looking around the room and saying, "Yuan Yuan, don't all the women in the capital like you?"
Now that you're ruined, who's going to like you anymore?!
The young eunuch, eyes downcast and seemingly lost in thought, asked, "Your Highness, what do you think should be done with Young Master Yuan?"
"Why are you calling me Young Master Yuan?" Jiang Chi raised his hand, wiping away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and smiled through gritted teeth: "From now on, you should call me Eunuch Yuan!"
Yuan Yuan was forced to take a bath and then forced to change into clean... eunuch clothes.
The young eunuch serving him smiled maliciously: "Eunuch Yuan, you're finally awake? Look at this outfit, do you like it, Eunuch Yuan?"
Eunuch Yuan...
Yuan Yuan's eyes reddened, his face filled with hatred: "Get out!"
The young eunuch was not afraid and walked away laughing.
Once the person left, the room became quiet.
Yuan Yuan clutched his clothes tightly, blood gushing from his palms and soaking through his clean garments...
At that moment, the door was kicked open again.
A group of imperial guards, looking fierce and menacing, rushed in: "Little eunuch, get up right now!"
We are here on the orders of His Highness the Fourth Prince to send you to the Cold Palace to serve!
The Cold Palace?
Yuan Yuan's lips moved slightly.
The head of the imperial guards snarled, "Get up right now!"
