Qin Yi raised his eyebrows.
He said unhappily, "What?
You don't believe me? Throw this steamed bun out now and see if they... "
"I believe you." Qin Song said, "But I don't have the habit of threatening others with my life."
His life was his own.
Why should he expect others to cherish it?
Qin Yi fell silent and lowered his head to check his wound. However, he did not apply medicine for him. He only said, "It's healing well. It's better than I thought. I don't have to apply medicine for you personally in the future … But I'll tell the medicine boy to prepare enough water for you. "
Qin Song said, "Thank you."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "You should thank me. Not to mention saving your life this time.
If it weren't for me...
Your face still can't be seen. "
Qin Song's hand that was holding the bowl of water paused and said, "Sorry, about this...
I can't thank you. "
Qin Yi laughed loudly and said, "Don't thank me for treating your injury.
Just thank me for lending you water to freshen up... Qin Song, you're really interesting. Even I like you a little. "
Qin Song glanced at him and said lightly, "But for people like you who treat your love as a gift, I really can't like you."
Qin Yi's smile froze and he sighed. "I just said that you were interesting, but you immediately became boring again."
He continued, "But although your external injuries are good,
But your internal injuries... I'm very curious about what you've experienced.
Your internal organs have been injured to such an extent. "
Qin Song did not answer.
He continued to eat his meal.
Qin Yi did not force him. He smiled and said, "Fortunately, although I can't make a medicine that can cure your internal injuries, it's not impossible."
He took out a thin book from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Qin Song, saying, "This is the 'Eternal Spring Formula'. It's an internal cultivation secret. Although it's not very powerful, it's far better than others in terms of health …"
Qin Song didn't take it. He said, "In this world, any martial art that can produce internal Qi is extraordinary. I appreciate Qin Daifu's good intentions, but I don't want this. "
Qin Yi's expression changed slightly. He said, "In my eyes, Qin Song, you are not an impulsive person. Don't throw your body into a fit."
In a fit of pique? Qin Song glanced at him and said lightly, "Daqin is not the only country that has internal cultivation."
If he didn't have freedom, what was the point of having a cultivation technique?
If he could regain his freedom, even though internal cultivation methods were hard to come by, they weren't so precious that even he couldn't obtain them. Why would he care about the things these people threw at him?
Besides, if he wanted to practice martial arts, he wouldn't practice a set of martial arts that was' not very powerful '.
Qin Yi also knew that he had said something wrong. He slowed down his tone and said, "I know you can get it yourself, but I can guarantee that there is no better way to maintain health in the world than this. This thing is …"
He paused and didn't continue. He only said, "With your body's condition, I'm afraid that ordinary internal martial arts …"
Qin Song interrupted, "I know my own body best. Please forgive me for being blunt. Even if Qin Daifu was ordered to treat my injuries, you are meddling too much."
Qin Yi's expression stiffened. He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I'm giving you this as an apology."
"Hmm?"
Qin Yi pointed at his shoulder and said, "That arrow of yours was shot by me … If it weren't for me, you would have been free and unfettered outside. How would you have suffered so much? So this' Eternal Spring Formula 'is an apology. "
Qin Song said indifferently, "Then I won't accept it."
"Why?" Qin Yi didn't understand. He had already lowered himself to this extent. What else did he want?
Qin Song said, "You and I have different statuses. You shot me an arrow, I won't hate you. You healed my injuries, I won't thank you because you were ordered to do so. These are your duties. But how could I accept something from you and have my hands and feet tied when we meet on the battlefield in the future?"
Qin Yi said angrily, "Don't worry. You don't have to be tied down. With your mediocre martial arts, even if you train for another hundred years, you won't be my opponent."
Qin Song had already said what he needed to say. He pushed the 'Eternal Spring Formula' back and didn't say another word. He lowered his head and finished his lunch.
Qin Yi had seen Qin Song's stubbornness. He knew that once Qin Song had made up his mind, it was useless to say anything else. He had no choice but to take the book back. He quietly waited for Qin Song to finish his lunch before he said, "Qin Song, actually I don't understand … You're not an idiot. You should have felt how important His Majesty is to you. Why did you try to assassinate His Majesty and end up in such a situation? Why did you do this?"
Qin Song smiled faintly, "Such a situation? What's wrong with such a situation? When you're tired of lying down, you can turn around, sit up, and even walk a few steps. You can use your two hands to eat, drink, and wash up. There's a small window where you can see the sky and smell the fragrance of flowers. When it rains, you can even personally take a handful of water. From time to time, you can hear the footsteps of the prison guards outside the door. Sometimes you can even hear their voices … Do you know, these are all things that I once dreamed of … "
"In this life, I, Qin Song, thought that I was strong. However, during that month in the palace, there were countless times when I almost went crazy and broke down …" Qin Song's dark eyes looked quietly at Qin Yi. He said faintly, "You asked me why I wanted to kill the King Of Qin. Then let me ask you. You can either become a complete madman or be completely domesticated, lose your dignity as a human, and become a dog that only knows how to wag its tail. What would you choose? Let me ask you, other than killing Qin Yue, is there any other way out for me? "
Qin Yi was speechless for a long time. When he opened his mouth again, his voice was a little dry, "These … were indeed done by His Majesty. However, His Majesty did this because he valued you and liked you. That's why he wanted to …"
"Like?" Qin Song sneered and said, "Can I trouble you not to tarnish this word?"
"What do you mean by tarnishing?" Qin Yi said angrily, "Even if you don't like His Majesty the King Of Qin, you can't insult His Majesty's feelings like this! If His Majesty didn't like you, would he have spent so much effort on you? If he didn't like you, would he not let those people touch you? If he didn't like you, would you still be sitting here talking to me alive? He just … as the noble ruler of a country, he doesn't know how to like someone. "
"Do you need to know the word 'like'?" Qin Song said lightly, "A one-year-old child doesn't know what 'like' is. However, when he sees his mother hurt, he will be sad and cry. The pheasants in the forest don't know what 'like' is. However, when an eagle comes over, he will protect his child under his wings. He will risk his life to fight for it … Isn't 'like' putting yourself in someone else's shoes? When the person you like is in pain, you will feel more pain. When the person you like is sad, you will feel more pain … "
"You said that Qin Yue liked me. How did he like me?" Qin Song sneered and said, "When I was being tortured to the point where my life was worse than death, what he was thinking was why I didn't give in, why I didn't collapse, and what means he should use to attack me more. When I was being whipped, what he was thinking was how to make me more painful, more scared, and more hurt. When I had something to entrust my heart to, what he was thinking was how to make me desperate and how to make me lose all my dignity. He didn't let anyone touch me. Was it because he felt sorry for me and pitied me? Was he merciful because he knew that I was better off dead? No! He just couldn't bear to see the things that belonged to him being dirtied! "
He took a deep breath and calmed down. He said lightly, "If I, Qin Song, liked him and was willing to forgive him for everything he did, or even feel flattered, then I, Qin Song, was asking for it. However, if he, Qin Yue, thought that because he liked me, he could do whatever he wanted and trample on people like animals … Sorry, the word 'like' is not that dirty."
Qin Yi was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he said reluctantly, "But no matter what, His Majesty treated you … differently."
Even he himself couldn't say the word 'like' anymore.
Qin Song had said enough today and didn't bother to refute him. Qin Yue treated him differently because he was something that Qin Yue hadn't gotten or conquered. To put it bluntly, Qin Yue treated him differently.
Qin Yi sighed softly and didn't continue the previous topic. He said seriously, "I came this time not only to give you the Secret of Eternal Spring, but also to do something else."
He paused and said, "Previously, during His Majesty's interrogation, he personally promised that he would let you go back to the hostage residence. However, although His Majesty keeps his promises, as his subjects, we have to think about his safety. If you want to go out, you can, but you have to promise that you won't do anything to His Majesty in this life."
Go out?
Qin Song was dazed for a moment. He then laughed softly and said, "I said it, and you believed it?"
Qin Yi said seriously, "As long as it's you, Qin Song, I believe every word you say."
Qin Song sighed and said, "Then I can't lie to you. I'm sorry, I can't do it."
If he didn't do anything to Qin Yue in this life, did that mean that he had to surrender when he saw Qin Yue? Moreover, this place couldn't trap him at all.
Qin Yi smiled bitterly and sighed, "I knew you wouldn't agree."
After thinking for a while, he said, "No matter how much His Majesty has done before, you have to admit that His Majesty didn't kill you this time …"
Qin Song was speechless.
Qin Yi said, "Forget it! I don't want you to swear that you won't do anything to His Majesty. I just want you to promise that in the future, if you want to kill His Majesty, you can only do it openly. You won't do anything like a ghost. "
Qin Song smiled faintly and said, "You're sure that I won't have a chance to defeat Qin Yue in this life?"
"No," Qin Yi paused and said, "That day, His Majesty was stabbed by you. Before he fell into a coma, he said that Qin Yue can die, but he definitely won't die in the hands of you, Qin Song … His Majesty doesn't want to die in your hands the most, but you are the person in this world who has the best chance to kill him."
Qin Song didn't comment on his words and only said lightly, "I agree to your conditions. I won't try to assassinate Qin Yue again. "He didn't like assassination in the first place. If it wasn't a last resort, he wouldn't use such methods.
Qin Yi sighed in relief and stood up, saying, "I'll go and report to His Majesty now."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Whether you believe it or not, His Majesty is …"
Qin Song interrupted, "Does it matter whether I believe it or not?"
Qin Yi smiled bitterly and turned to leave.
Even if His Majesty wronged him, His Majesty still insisted on letting him go when he almost killed His Majesty and never gave up the thought of killing His Majesty. This young man was so smart. Could it be that he really didn't feel His Majesty's affection at all? His Majesty was just disdainful.
Qin Yi even forgot about the medicine box and left the cell as if he was escaping. Then he smiled bitterly. How should he tell Qin Yue these words?
Just as he was worrying, he turned the corner and saw a familiar figure standing in the courtyard with his back facing him. The noon sun shone on him, but it didn't make him feel warm at all. He only felt an inexplicable sense of desolation.
He was stunned, "Your Majesty …"
Qin Yue didn't respond. Qin Yi stepped forward and said softly, "Your Majesty, I failed you. He didn't accept you."
Qin Yue said lightly, "I know."
"Your Majesty just now …" Qin Yi hesitated and said, "You heard everything?"
"Yes."
Qin Yi felt his scalp tingle. He quickly tried to recall if he had said anything disrespectful. He didn't dare to ask Qin Yue what he thought. He took out the Secret of Eternal Spring and handed it over, "Your Majesty, this thing …"
Qin Yue took it and tore it. Qin Yi exclaimed, "Your Majesty, you can't!"
This thing wasn't easy to get!
Qin Yue only tore off the cover and said expressionlessly, "Didn't he say that he wanted to find it from Southern Chu? Change the name and send it over. "
He threw the book back to Qin Yi and didn't say anything else.
Qin Yi left and walked out of the courtyard. Before he got into the carriage, he looked back and saw that person still standing there motionlessly. He couldn't help but sigh.
Sitting across from him was a young man with a cold and almost numb expression. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty and Princess Chu's wedding is approaching. The King Of Qi sent an envoy to congratulate you."
Qin Song just remembered that Princess Chu had been in Qin for four months. The wedding was in a month. Thinking about the messy relationship between Qin Yue and Yi An, Qin Song frowned slightly. In fact, this kind of thing wasn't uncommon in Southern Chu, let alone in Daqin, which had always been unruly. However, Qin Song couldn't be like other people. He couldn't see this as an elegant thing. He only felt disgusted.
Suddenly, he sighed softly. It had only been two months since he came to Qin, but more things had happened than in the previous ten years. Even now, when he thought about what happened in Southern Chu, it was as if it had happened in a dream. It was hazy and unreal.
The carriage stopped. Qin Song got off and knocked on the door. For a long time, no one answered. The carriage left without waiting for him to enter. However, the young man in the same carriage got off and stood quietly behind him.
Qin Song frowned, "You're not leaving?"
The young man said, "His Majesty ordered me to follow you."
His tone seemed to always be so flat, without the slightest emotion.
Qin Yue personally gave the order. Whether it was to monitor or protect, Qin Song had no room to refuse. After a moment of silence, he asked, "How should I address you?"
The young man was stunned for a moment. He seemed to feel that this question was very tricky. After a while, he said, "I used to be called Rho Minoris."
"Qin Yue's shadow guard?"
The young man's pupils shrank.
Qin Song looked at him and said lightly, "Since you are no longer a shadow guard, you don't have to be so nervous."
The young man's expression was a little stiff. He wanted to relax but didn't know how. After a while, he asked, "How do you know that I am …"
He stopped halfway. Qin Song certainly understood what he meant. He said, "It's not difficult to guess. It's rare to use numbers as names. Moreover, from your tone, the name Rho Minoris should belong to someone else now. It's obvious that it's just a code name … A person who completely replaces his name with a code name, if he's not a shadow guard, what else can he be?"
The young man didn't know how to answer. Qin Song asked again, "What's your real name?"
The young man thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't remember."
He said again, "Since His Majesty ordered me to follow you, please give me a name."
Qin Song shook his head, "The family name is passed down from the ancestors, and the name is entrusted to the hopes … A name is a very important thing. Don't give this right to others casually."
He ignored him and continued to knock on the door with greater force.
The young man looked at Qin Song with a somewhat absent-minded expression. Logically speaking, he should hate this young man. If it wasn't for him assassinating Qin Yue, he wouldn't have almost lost his life due to dereliction of duty. Although he managed to keep his life in the end, the punishment he had to endure made him shudder even now when he thought about it … But perhaps it was because he wasn't allowed to have his own love and hate since he could remember, but when he faced this young man, he actually couldn't bring up the slightest bit of hatred.
"Yu Sheng," the young man said, "From now on, my name is Yu Sheng."
Qin Song looked back at him and said lightly, "As long as you are happy."
At this time, the door finally opened with a creak. The person inside was slightly stunned, "It's you? You still have … "
After all, he wasn't used to scolding people. He didn't say anything unpleasant and only said coldly, "We don't welcome you here!"
With a bang, the door was slammed shut and the bolt was unlocked.
Qin Song pursed his lips. After a moment of silence, he continued to knock on the door.
It was already abnormal for Qiu Yun to personally open the door. Moreover, Qiu Yun's condition was also very strange. She looked haggard and much thinner. Her hair was also somewhat messy. Although her clothes were clean, there were many wrinkles. It was obvious that she hadn't ironed them after washing them. Moreover, there were some water stains on her hands. It seemed that she didn't have time to wipe them clean in a hurry to open the door.
What exactly happened in the hostage residence?
The door was opened again. When she saw that it was still Qin Song, Qiu Yun looked impatient. She turned her hand to close the door again. However, a strong hand pressed against the door in time. Yu Sheng said woodenly, "Her Majesty ordered me to send Qin Song Gongzi back to the hostage residence."
Qiu Yun bit her lip and looked coldly at Qin Song. Then, she turned and left.
Qin Song silently followed behind her.
It was April, but the hostage residence was filled with a kind of bleak atmosphere. The withered magnolia still hung on the branches. No one trimmed them. The peach blossoms had already withered. However, the scattered petals still remained on the stone pavement. Under the eaves of the corridor, there were even some spider webs. On the contrary, the weeds and vines on the ground were full of vitality.
The hostage residence wasn't big, but there were originally many people. Yi An, Qin Song, and Qiu Yun had all brought their own people. There were also the cooks, grooms, and gardeners that Southern Chu had brought. But now, not a single one of them was seen.
"What happened?"
Qin Song asked Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng blankly shook his head. Ever since Qin Yue was assassinated, he had been tortured and recovering. He knew very little about the situation outside. This was very similar to Qin Song.
"They said that there was an assassin in the hostage residence. To prevent any accidents, they sent everyone back." Qiu Yun answered indifferently. Then, she turned around and looked at Qin Song. She didn't say anything, but the real assassin was sent back.
"I still have something to do. Help yourself." Qiu Yun didn't return to her room after she finished speaking. Instead, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Qin Song walked towards the courtyard where he lived. As soon as he took a step, he heard a very light coughing sound. Immediately, his expression turned stiff. He paused his steps, turned around and walked quickly past Qiu Yun into the kitchen.
Yi An was squatting on the ground and feeding firewood into the stove. The firewood was green and wet, and the black smoke made it difficult for him to open his eyes. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and asked, "Who just came …"
When he saw the person standing at the door, he was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Qin Song looked at his red and swollen eyes and the black ash on his forehead. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Then, he turned and walked out.
"Qin Song!"
Qin Song turned around. Yi An smiled and said, "… There is still some hot water here. You can wash up first. The porridge will be ready soon."
"No need." Qin Song took two steps and stopped. His voice was dry and hoarse, "… Thank you, Your Highness."
He strode away.
His room was still the same as when he left. Everything was neatly arranged and there was no dust on the table. It seemed that someone often cleaned it. Qin Song opened the box and took out a heavy wooden box. When he opened the wooden box, it was filled with gold and silver. It was dazzling.
Qin Song threw the box back into the box. His chest was heaving up and down.
"Gongzi," Yu Sheng had been with Qin Yue for a long time, but this was the first time he saw Qin Song angry. He was a little uneasy and asked, "Did you lose something? Why don't I … "
Qin Song shook his head and squatted down with a sullen face. He slowly put the scattered gold and silver back into the box.
Yu Sheng went forward to help and said, "It probably wasn't His Majesty's idea to send the servants away. At that time, His Majesty was seriously injured and unconscious. He didn't have the time to make things difficult for them …"
Qin Song interrupted, "I know."
Yu Sheng knew that Qin Song didn't want to talk too much with him. He paused and said, "I'll go prepare some hot water for you." The young man had always been clean. After coming out of that place, he probably wanted to wash up.
Qin Song thanked him. When Yu Sheng went out, his face darkened again. His fingers tightly gripped the gold ingot in his hand. A flame of anger burned in his chest. The people were gone, but the money was still there. If he couldn't use the Chu people, he could hire the Qin people. If he couldn't hire the Qin people, he could at least buy a few slaves. He deliberately lived his life so miserably. Was he waiting for someone to pity him?
Even if he wanted to appear weak and be ignored by others, as a prince, wasn't giving himself to others contemptible enough? Why did he have to put on a pitiful appearance for others to see? He had completely forgotten that he was also a seven feet tall man!
Suddenly, his expression changed and he shouted, "Come out!"
"Eh? You can hear me even like this? " A figure nimbly flipped in from outside the window. He smiled and greeted Qin Song, "Long time no see."
He was young, tall, and strong. His face could barely be called handsome. Qin Song glanced at him and then lowered his head to pack up the box. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"Not only am I here, I'm living here," the young man said proudly. "Everyone says how powerful the Qin people are. In the end, I'm living here openly. But they searched the entire city dozens of times and still couldn't find this place. Don't you think they're stupid? Ha, that's right. Look, I cleaned up your room, didn't I? "
"You cleaned it?"
"Of course!" the young man said. "Otherwise, did you count on those two? They should be thanking the heavens if they can fill their stomachs! "
"Well, thank you."
"You're welcome. The two of us can be said to be in a life and death situation …" The young man suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, "That's not right! How do you know who I am? Ah, that's not right. You didn't say you know who I am. Then do you know who I am … Bah, I've said so much. Even if you don't know who I am, you should know who I am … "
This nonsense … Qin Song couldn't listen to it anymore. He interrupted, "What are you doing here?"
With that brain of his, he didn't believe that he deliberately came here to avoid being hunted because he understood the principle of darkness under the light.
The young man shook off the question of whether he knew who he was and said matter-of-factly, "I'm looking for you! I say, did you forget something? "
Qin Song was slightly stunned and said, "Sorry, I lost your dagger. In a few days, I'll find a similar one to return it to you."
