Chapter 731: Young Master (Part 2)
The long-time attendant gasped in disbelief.
He subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace.
It was late at night and it was pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen.
But he still felt a deep chill from the bottom of his heart, which made him break out in a cold sweat instantly, and his hair almost stood on end!
"Your Highness means..."
He murmured in a low voice, but didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence, so he swallowed it all back.
However, he was still shocked and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Could it be that this person was the one who did this? He set up this trap!?
After all this effort, what is it?
The long-servant looked at Xiao Chenglin with lingering fear, "If this is true, then Your Highness... how do you plan to deal with it?"
Xiao Chenglin smiled suddenly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His brown eyes, like glass, seemed to be tempered by ice and snow.
"He has always been like this, so what's so strange about it?"
Scheming, scheming, and planning, if he lacks any of them, he would not have been able to stay in that position for so long.
Even though he is old now, he still has a hidden edge.
Xiao Chenglin's tone and expression were extremely cold.
"The old wolf king may seem weak and vulnerable, but he will often deliver a fatal blow when it is least expected."
If you are even the slightest bit careless, contemptuous or indifferent, you will pay a heavy price for it!
The long-servant frowned tightly and expressed his biggest worry, "But... has he noticed something? What if——"
"I heard that Ye Chutang has been going to the palace less frequently than before?" Xiao Chenglin suddenly asked.
The long-servant was stunned, but still gave a quick answer, "Yes. It seems that her previous medicine and acupuncture were quite effective. Recently, several doctors from the Imperial Hospital have taken turns to serve her in the palace."
Xiao Chenglin nodded and murmured softly, "With her medical skills, this is normal... What a pity."
The attendant did not ask him why he said "what a pity" or what he meant by "what a pity".
Because Xiao Chenglin gave the answer very quickly.
"Let's get started."
He said expressionlessly.
After all that had happened, his patience had worn out.
Then, there is no need to wait any longer.
Chang Sui calmed down and nodded immediately.
"yes!"
…
Another person who also stayed awake all night was the imprisoned Tuoba Yu.
In fact, he had been unable to sleep peacefully since he was captured.
The wounds on his body had not healed yet, and every time he moved, he would tremble in pain.
Whenever he finally felt sleepy and forced himself to fall asleep despite the pain in his body, he would always be awakened by nightmares.
In his dreams, he was always on the run, but there were iron walls on all sides that could not be shaken at all, no matter how hard he hammered.
And at this time, an arrow would always appear and suddenly shoot from behind him!
The inescapable despair was like a surging ocean wave, swallowing and drowning Tuoba Yu again and again.
He always woke up drenched in sweat and looked around in panic.
However, apart from his rapid breathing, there was no other sound around him.
It was still the same tonight.
When Tuoba Yu woke up again, he waved his arms wildly in fear in his dream, and the wound on his shoulder began to bleed again.
Tuoba Yu covered his shoulder. Besides the blood, there was also an extremely unpleasant smell.
——After being arrested, he never changed his clothes. He was locked in a prison van and wandered around all the way. He ate, drank, defecated and urinated in it, and his body was already smelly.
There were regular footsteps coming from outside, it must be time for a change of guard.
During this period, they kept a close eye on him.
But soon, Tuoba Yu discovered that something seemed to be wrong - the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and did not stop after reaching the door.
Then, there were some conversations heard outside.
Tuoba Yu's consciousness was still a little confused. He was unable to hear clearly what they said and only caught scattered words.
What "Nanhu", what "command" and so on...
Just when he was full of doubts, the door that had been closed for a long time was finally opened!
Squeak——
Several figures in armor walked in and quickly surrounded him.
The heavy feeling of oppression made Tuoba Yu more and more uncomfortable.
He slowly raised his head and glanced out the door.
That corner of the sky was a crab-blue color, and it was almost dawn.
——Tuoba Yu was locked up here, in a daze every day. The double torture of body and mind had exhausted him long ago. How could he care about the day and night?
But at this moment, facing such a situation, his instinctive desire to survive made him wake up instantly.
He stared at the imperial guards warily.
"W-What do you want to do!?"
His voice was hoarse and rough, and the syllables were unclear and even a little inaudible.
The other party ignored him, and the leader just waved his hand.
"take away."
Immediately, people came forward from both sides and controlled Tuoba Yu.
Tuoba Yu panicked and began to struggle desperately.
"Let go, let me go!"
But he was already injured and had been imprisoned for such a long time, how could he be a match for these strong imperial guards?
The leading man looked down at him and snorted.
"Don't struggle. This time we're ordered to take you to clean up, not to kill you. You don't have to act like this."
Tuoba Yu was stunned, almost suspecting that he had heard it wrongly, "W-what?"
The leading man raised his chin and said to the people who were holding Tuoba Yu, "Hey, be gentle! The people from Nanhu will be here soon. If they see him like this, they will definitely cause trouble again."
Upon hearing this, those people indeed relaxed their strength.
One of them couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "...He is like a weak chicken. He has done nothing and it has become like this. How can he blame us?"
Tuoba Yu no longer cared about being angry or refuting.
There was only one thought left in his mind - someone from Nanhu is coming!
They are here to rescue him!
Tuoba Yu was excited at first, but after he came to his senses, he felt infinite guilt and self-blame from the bottom of his heart.
If he wasn't so useless, how could he have gotten into so much trouble?
This time they want to save him, but they don't know what price they will have to pay...
Tuoba Yu seemed to have had all his strength drained away, kneeling there dejectedly and weakly.
The leading man glanced at him and turned away.
"Be quick!"
…
The sky gradually brightened.
It gradually became noisy outside.
Ye Chutang turned over, but the sound was getting louder and louder, and he couldn't fall asleep anymore.
“So noisy…”
Ye Chutang murmured, and finally sat up, his black hair scattered casually like silk.
Xiaowu snuggled into her arms and pointed his little hand outside.
——Sister! It’s so lively outside!
Ye Chutang forced himself to open his eyes and looked towards the door.
"What happened?"
The maid pushed open the door, unable to hide the gossip on her face.
"Second Miss! Someone has come from Nanhu! Many people have gone out to see! I heard that a very handsome young man has come!"
