Chapter 51
Cassel could hear Zhao Ying's exasperated voice even when hiding in the closet: "Slave! How dare you catch me? Do you know who I am? This young master——"
Nie Wuhen said, looking at Zhao Ying's face, "Stop making noise. Drag them out and whip each of them. I'll whip them as many times as there are people in the mansion."
Several servants trembled, covered Zhao Ying's mouth, and dragged him out.
The girl beside the bed was stunned when she woke up and found herself wearing clothes. She kowtowed repeatedly and cried while explaining that she really didn't know what was going on.
Nie Wuhen went to look through the closet, trying to find some clothes. As soon as he opened it, he saw Bai Yi and Cassel each handing him a piece of clothing.
Nie Wuhen said nothing. He took it and bent down to place it in front of the two of them, saying, "Put it on and get out."
The two of them trembled even more violently.
"If anyone embarrasses you," Nie Wuhen said, "I will take care of it for you."
The two were stunned.
After a moment, the room fell silent.
Cassel walked out of the closet, glanced at Nie Wuhen, turned his head away silently, and said, "What an ugly face."
Nie Wuhen: “…”
Bai Yi burst out laughing. He lowered his head and gave all the disguise pills to Nie Wuhen, saying, "I didn't expect there was such a good idea. By the way, what are your plans for entering the palace next?"
Nie Wuhen nodded. He did not refuse and took the pill directly.
A servant outside asked Nie Wuhen timidly whether he wanted to find two more beauties.
Nie Wuhen said, "No need." Finally, he added, "If those two girls die, you will be buried with them."
The people outside kowtowed, making a thumping sound, which made Nie Wuhen feel at ease.
Bai Yi looked around, frowned, and said, "People who live in this place don't even feel resentful. It's really unlucky. I'd better not stay here. I'll just go to the guest room. By the way, are you going to Cassel?"
Cassel naturally wanted to go, but Nie Wuhen stopped him. In front of Cassel, he took the Disguise Pill and restored his appearance, with a helpless look between his eyebrows: "It's back to normal."
Cassel blinked.
Bai Yi was too lazy to pay attention to them and just climbed out the window and left.
As soon as he left, Cassel and Nie Wuhen were the only ones left in the room. Cassel felt uncomfortable without Bai Yi around, so he moved over and hugged Nie Wuhen's waist.
Nie Wuhen stepped back a little and sat on the couch beside him. He rubbed Cassel's head, patted his shoulder, and motioned Cassel to sit down.
Cassel was very obedient. After he straightened up, he knelt on the couch. He felt that Nie Wuhen's legs were a bit in the way, so he went up to touch his thigh, but as soon as he touched it, his wrist was pinched by Nie Wuhen.
The latter was a little unnatural: "What are you doing?"
Cassel didn't realize it, he groaned, pulled his hand back, and said, "Blocking me."
Nie Wuhen's breathing paused. Finally, under Cassel's urging, he slowly followed his request. His face began to turn red, as if he had put on rouge, and his earlobes began to feel hot. Nie Wuhen lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes.
Cassel found a comfortable position to kneel down, but after a while, his legs started to ache again. He wanted to sit up straight, but Nie Wuhen wouldn't let him.
Nie Wuhen gently touched his lips. Cassel looked at him blankly, then said to him pitifully, "Nie Wuhen, my legs are a little sore..."
Nie Wuhen's voice was very hoarse. He held Cassel's waist, rubbing it with his fingertips, then pulled his hand back and leaned back.
Say it with a hint of command: "Kiss me."
Cassel wanted to lean over and kiss him. But Nie Wuhen was a little far away from him, and he couldn't kiss him just by getting close to him. He was a little anxious, and reached out to pull Nie Wuhen's clothes to pull him up, but he couldn't.
Nie Wuhen didn't move at all.
Cassel could only look at him blankly and said, "It's too far. I can't kiss you."
Nie Wuhen looked at him steadily and added two more words: "Come here and kiss me."
Cassel wanted to move his legs, but his knees were held down by Nie Wuhen again. He couldn't move, so he looked at Nie Wuhen again. Seeing that he pretended not to see, Cassel had no choice but to lie on Nie Wuhen with his hands on the bed.
Nie Wuhen grabbed his hand and placed it on his waist. His voice was hoarse, but he still didn't move. He just said, "That's it."
"Come here and kiss me."
Cassel felt it was really hot, his fingers curled up slightly, and slowly, his waist bent, moving forward, his hand sliding to his chest, he tilted his head to kiss him, but due to his height, he only kissed Nie Wuhen's chin.
My heartbeat quickened under my palm.
Cassel moved a little further away and asked Nie Wuhen in a soft voice if it was okay.
Nie Wuhen sat up and said nothing. He pushed Cassel to sit on his thighs. He held the back of his head with one hand and put his other hand around his waist, pressing him towards him.
He kissed her deeply.
Cassel felt hot all over. He gasped and tried to push Nie Wuhen, but couldn't move him. Her palm was placed on his chest, and even his eyes were red from the kiss.
The candles in the room suddenly went out, and the room became completely dark.
Cassel felt himself being hugged tight again. Nie Wuhen had his head on his shoulder. He was breathing rapidly, his breath was so hot that it made Cassel's cheeks red.
Nie Wuhen touched Cassel's cheek with his fingertips and felt a wetness. He hesitated and sat up straight. In the darkness, he couldn't see Cassel's expression, but his rationality returned a little.
He asked, “Why are you crying?”
Cassel opened his mouth and bit his face, not hard, just like a kiss. He wiped his tears and said, "I'm not crying."
Nie Wuhen asked again: "Does that mean you don't like it?"
"No," Cassel pulled his hand and touched his lips, complaining, "It hurts."
Nie Wuhen was embarrassed for a moment.
It seemed like... he kissed her a little too hard.
…
Nie Wuhen coaxed Cassel for a while, then went over and kissed his eyes. Cassel obediently let him kiss him. After the kiss, he covered his mouth and said he was sleepy.
Nie Wuhen didn't want Cassel to sleep on the bed because he thought it was dirty, so he simply held Cassel in his arms and let him sleep like that. Cassel had never slept like this before, and he felt very uncomfortable. He mumbled to himself and nestled in Nie Wuhen's arms, closing his eyes and forcing himself to sleep.
But Cassel slept badly. The dream was full of strange things. Between black and white, gray actually occupied his world. He ran helplessly in the dream, calling Barbatos and Nie Wuhen, but no one paid any attention to him.
When he woke up from the dream, the first thing he saw was Zhao Ying's disgusting face. Cassel was shocked and angry, and stepped back suddenly: "Go away..."
Nie Wuhen: “…”
A servant beside him trembled and said, "Young Marquis..."
Cassel took a while to react, then slowly came to his senses. His shoulders instantly slumped, and he also relaxed, giving Nie Wuhen a big smile.
Before Nie Wuhen could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Cassel's smile froze again. With a sullen face, he commented, "You can't smile, otherwise you'll be as ugly as you..."
Nie Wuhen: “…”
…
The king did not hold court early in the morning, so Nie Wuhen naturally could not take the opportunity of the court to meet those suffocating people. After thinking it over, he chose to ask for an audience with his former father, to take another look at the imperial concubine who whispered in his ear back then, and his second brother who has now become the crown prince.
Before leaving, Nie Wuhen handed over all the affairs in the mansion to Cassel and asked him to decide what to do. Cassel opened his mouth wide, obviously very surprised, and the servants next to him were also dumbfounded.
Nie Wuhen just left.
Cassel sat for a long time before he reacted. He clapped his hands and cheered. The first thing he did was to give an order, "There are so many heads in the backyard, what's the name of it? Bury them all."
It's quiet around.
A servant was worried: "I'm afraid this won't work... Jingguan is the young marquis's favorite thing. If you destroy it, I'm afraid the young marquis will be angry."
"Nie... you dare," Cassel swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth and said, "I will take responsibility for anything that happens. If you don't destroy it, don't blame me for being rude!"
The servants knelt on the ground and repeatedly said they dared not.
Cassel put on some clothes casually and got off the bed. He rubbed his neck and felt uncomfortable all over. He glanced at the bed and felt like vomiting. He simply pointed at the bed and said, "Drag this bed out and change it."
The servants stood there in a daze, no one dared to move.
It was not until Cassel urged them to hurry up that they reacted and rushed to lift the bed.
Cassel walked along the yard, took a walk and evaluated the flowers in the garden. The flowers were blooming gorgeously. Cassel went over to smell them and asked them what fertilizer they used on the flowers to make them bloom so beautifully.
The servant said it was human blood.
Cassel's hands trembled, and he quickly rubbed his nose and said viciously: "This is so disgusting, take them all out!"
He walked around a few more times and saw that the fish in the water were very fat, so he asked again what they ate to grow so fat.
The servant said, human flesh.
Cassel kicked the stone on the bridge with great force. He shivered in pain because of the great force. But there was someone following him. He held back tears, but dared not say anything. He just acted like a bad guy and said, "Don't feed those poor creatures anymore. They are so disgusting!"
The servants looked at each other in bewilderment.
But obviously, the atmosphere is much better than before.
The last place Cassel came to was the kitchen. He stood outside the door and saw white smoke coming out of the chimney from afar. People were coming and going in the kitchen, and no one was talking.
Cassel thought of the flowers and fish, and his heart began to beat fast again. He stood outside the door but did not go in. Instead, he spoke first, frowning and saying, "There won't be human flesh in here."
The servant said: "Once upon a time..."
In troubled times, the poor are like animals. Men are steamed, women are fried, children are used to make soup, and the old are used as firewood. No matter who you are, you live in fear.
Cassel retched.
The servant said again: "Sir, it is not like that now. The young master who came with you threw away the previous pot and asked us to cook the porridge while he spread the porridge outside."
Cassel breathed a sigh of relief. He ran outside excitedly and saw that Bai Yi had set up a tent and the servants were standing there, distributing porridge.
There were poor people all around, but no one dared to step forward.
