Chapter 45
Shen Yuexi didn't know how she got back into the house.

The tragedy of Lengshuang was deeply imprinted in her mind.Now the idea of ​​running away has been dispelled by half.

This son of King Qi treats his servants so ruthlessly.Leng Shuang received such a cruel punishment just because he didn't keep an eye on her.

If she escapes, will she also be punished like this?
Is Xiao Beiheng trying to make an example of others?
Thinking of this, the originally comfortable room instantly became cold and terrifying.The deep red sandalwood furniture in the room seemed to be stained with blood.

She sat on the chair numbly until the door suddenly knocked.

Shen Yuexi jumped up suddenly as if frightened, and retreated hastily, even knocking over the chair.

Leng Shuang pushed open the door and stood at the door looking at her.His eyes were complicated, and he couldn't tell whether it was hatred or fear.Or maybe both.

She was pale and kept biting her lips tightly.The left wrist is wrapped with a thick white cloth, and a dark red color can still be seen vaguely at the end.

Shen Yuexi didn't know how to treat her for a while.

She didn't want to be imprisoned by Xiao Beiheng, and she didn't think it was wrong for her to escape.But Leng Shuang's hand was chopped off because she ran away.Now Lengshuang was standing in front of her, her left hand was gone.

Would Lengshuang pounce on her and strangle her to death with her right hand?
But the two looked at each other in silence for a moment, and Leng Shuang spoke first.

She closed the door with her right hand and said in a low voice, "Doctor Lin has treated my wound."

Shen Yuexi still stood tightly by the wall.

Leng Shuang seemed to see her panic, forced a smile and said: "You are the guest of His Royal Highness, I will not do anything to you. You don't have to be so afraid."

Shen Yuexi trembled her lips, shook her head, and said, "He...he is too cruel."

Just because of this little thing, a person's hand was chopped off.If you take a whip and beat it, the wound can be healed, but how can a broken limb be regenerated.

Lengshuang was noncommittal, walked to the table, and habitually stretched out both hands to help the fallen chair, but the wound on his left hand stuck on the chair.She immediately showed a painful expression, and quickly covered her mouth with her right hand.

Seeing her in pain, Shen Yuexi was sweating.Ignoring other things, he quickly walked up to her, held her arm and said:
"Don't do it, I'll do it."

Leng Shuang moved her shoulders, as if trying to shake her off.But in the end she held on.

Shen Yuexi helped her sit down by the bed, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her forehead.Leng Shuang shook her head and said, "I'll do it myself. You are a guest of His Royal Highness."

"Don't talk about guests," Shen Yuexi smiled wryly, "I'm just a person imprisoned by him."

"Imprisonment?" Leng Shuang laughed in a low voice, frowning while laughing.

Shen Yuexi didn't feel that what she said was wrong. Losing her freedom was a prison in her eyes.He asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Leng Shuang didn't answer, but got up and suddenly knelt on the ground.

Shen Yuexi didn't understand, so she hurried to help Lengshuang, and said: "If you have anything to say, just get up and say it. You don't need to kneel."

Leng Shuang refused, raised her eyes to stare at her and said:
"Miss Pei, I know you are trying every means to escape. But I beg you as a slave, I have no enmity with you, please leave me a way out."

Lengshuang's voice choked up.

A way out?
Shen Yuexi could already feel the seriousness of the matter, and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Leng Shuang nodded: "Just don't run away. If you run away again, the servant will cut off one hand and another leg. Until the hands and feet are gone, with Dr. Lin's medical skills, you can't die even if you want to die..."

Shen Yuexi felt a chill behind her back: "You mean Doctor Lin..."

Before Leng Shuang could respond, she had already slumped on the bed.

This Prince Qi's son is also a good-looking talent, he did not expect to be so ruthless at such a young age.I am in his hands, and now I am a guest, maybe tomorrow he will turn his back on her and chop her hands and feet...

Thinking of such a tragic ending, not only did her idea of ​​running away not completely extinguish, but it burned even more.

Working under such a terrifying person, life would be better than death.After all, when you die, you just close your eyes.But Xiao Beiheng chopped off people's hands and feet, making life worse than death.

No, absolutely have to run away.She couldn't stay in this place for another day.

But seeing Leng Shuang's miserable appearance, she couldn't bear it anymore.

Leng Shuang was right, they didn't even know each other, and they had no enmity.Is there a way to have the best of both worlds, which can keep Lengshuang's hands and feet and run away smoothly?

She sat there frowning and thinking hard.

Leng Shuang said to her: "Ms. Pei, it's late at night, go to bed quickly. His Royal Highness said, we will set off at noon tomorrow, leave here and go back to the fief."

leave tomorrow?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Beiheng moved so fast, Shen Yuexi's head hurt a little.

She stared at Leng Shuang's severed wrist, and suddenly came up with an idea.

Xiao Beiheng arranged for Leng Shuang to monitor her, but at the same time he also waited on her.If she said she was hungry, Lengshuang would arrange meals.In this way, there is a way.

Early the next morning, Shen Yuexi pretended to lose her temper and chased Leng Shuang with a feather duster from the house.Lin Kui was passing by outside, so he came in to check.

It turned out that Shen Yuexi suddenly wanted to eat hot pot in the morning, so Leng Shuang arranged for servants to make it.Shen Yuexi ate a few mouthfuls, became interested, and asked Lengshuang to move the hot pot to the window.Lengshuang only had one hand and couldn't hold it steadily. He dropped the hot pot and spilled it on Shen Yuexi's clothes.

"This maid has only one hand, so she can't do anything well! I don't want it anymore."

With a cold face, Shen Yuexi threw the feather duster aside, and complained to Lin Kui impatiently.

Lin Kui looked at the red oil soup spilled all over the floor, and then at Lengshuang who had been whipped so much that there were several bloodstains on his face.shook his head.Angrily said to Lengshuang:

"The master asked you to serve Mrs. Pei alone, and you can't do it either!"

Leng Shuang lowered her head and shivered, not daring to respond.

"Doctor Lin, get rid of this girl now. If I look at her one more time, I'll be so angry. Look at my clothes!"

While talking, Shen Yuexi pretended to be wronged and showed Lin Kui her red oiled clothes.

Lin Kui sighed and said, "This maid is really useless. But His Royal Highness arranged for her to take care of Mrs. Pei, and I..."

Shen Yuexi knew that Lin Kui felt that this was Xiao Beiheng's decision, and he could not make the decision.But she also knew that Lin Kui was not the kind of person whose master could do whatever he wanted, otherwise he wouldn't have "arbitrarily decided to buy a prescription for the master".

Most importantly, Lin Kui made the decision without authorization, but Xiao Beiheng did not cut off his hand.

This is Shen Yuexi's strategy: use Lin Kui to be a bad luck ghost, and Lin Kui will be scolded at most.

"Doctor Lin, look, His Royal Highness arranged for this girl to take care of me. He must want me to feel at ease, right?"

"His Royal Highness did say that Mrs. Pei must live comfortably."

"But I'm not feeling well now!" Shen Yuexi shouted with her arms crossed, "Doctor Lin, what do you think we should do?"

Lin Kui lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Leng Shuang:

"You don't have to take care of Mrs. Pei, I will arrange another maid. When His Royal Highness wakes up, I will report to him."

Leng Shuang bowed to Lin Kui with a sullen face and said, "Your servant obeys."

Looking back at Shen Yuexi deeply, Leng Shuang walked out of the room quickly.
