emperor cold concubine

Chapter 277
The maid brought a red lacquered nanmu medicine box and fetched a basin of clean water. Cang Yunxi let Zi Yu sit down on the chair, squatted down and rolled up his trousers, his fair cheeks were slightly flushed, but When he saw the redness and swelling on his knees, his face quickly turned from red to white.

The traces of bruising were obvious. Yun Xi took a wet handkerchief in her hand and wiped it carefully. As soon as she touched the flesh, she felt a sudden tremor in her knees. Yun Xi was startled and quickly withdrew her hand.

Zi Yu frowned, took the handkerchief from her hand, "It's okay, I'll do it myself."

After kneeling for more than a day and a night, and standing for a whole afternoon, my legs were not only painful, but also a little sore, limp, and swollen. Although I improved a little after practicing exercises, the pain was still unbearable.

Ziyu is an iron-tempered person, he doesn't care about ordinary flesh and blood pain at all. The punishment he fears the most in his life is pressing his legs. Although the punishment of kneeling is unbearable, it is still within the range of tolerance. Apart from this, other flesh and blood To him, the injury was not worth mentioning.

Therefore, Zi Yu, who seldom makes mistakes by Cang Hao's side, has never been beaten except for the first two years when he was studying under his master. Such a lesson is too unforgettable, and Ziyu knows that he will never forget it in his life.

One hour of leg pressing is his limit, no matter how much, he will definitely beg for mercy.As for the penalty of kneeling, the longest time was this time. Although it was painful, it was tolerable in the end.

Wipe his legs and knees clean with a handkerchief, take out swelling medicine from the opened medicine box, and apply it little by little on the red, swollen and purple areas.

Cang Yunxi squatted aside and watched in a daze, her eyes lowered and she didn't speak.

I couldn't help thinking, is it just the difference between a man and a woman, or is this man more tenacious, forbearing, strong and reliable than ordinary people?

It should be the latter.

After all, she has seen more than one time that her imperial brothers yelled in pain because they accidentally cut their fingers or their arms were scratched by branches while playing, and they lost their temper and threw things, wishing to kill all the eunuchs and maids around them vent hatred.

Although she was not favored, the empress allowed the princes to be unscrupulous and domineering in the palace. For a few years, they were addicted to beauty and lingered in the wine pool. Although he is a man, he has no masculinity and responsibility at all.

But the man in front of him was different from the others.

In other words, these men who come out of His Majesty's subordinates today are different from others.

Yun Xi is really fortunate that before she got married, Empress Murong and the Murong family were destroyed, otherwise, she really didn't dare to think about her fate in the future.

A man like Ziyu, whether it is Cang Yue or the other Eight Kingdoms, is not seen everywhere. If you marry a courtier's powerful son casually, or marry another country, the chance of being lucky enough to meet such a man is really slim. Besides, Empress Murong Wouldn't be so kind to her...

Zi Yu looked at her calm face, and the slight sadness between her brows, and frowned slightly, "It's not uncommon to be punished by the master's side, and besides, this is what Yu deserves, you don't have to worry... There is nothing to be afraid of."

Hearing this, Cang Yunxi came back to her senses, saw that he had already cleaned up by herself, looked up, met his expressionless resolute face and light eyes, was slightly startled, subconsciously lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly Said: "I'm not afraid, I just feel..."

"What?" Ziyu frowned.

Yun Xi's soft voice was low but firm: "...I just feel that I am very lucky."

Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then fell silent, looked down at the black head in front of him, complex and thoughtful emotions flashed in the bottom of his eyes, and after a while, he said lightly: "It's the master's grace."

The master's grace... Yun Xi was quiet for a moment, what about you?Because it was His Majesty who bestowed the marriage, you obeyed... If His Majesty did not bestow the marriage, would you have looked at me more?

Accepting the imperial decree of marriage, is it mostly willing, or is it because it can only be accepted that it is accepted...

Realizing what she was thinking, Yun Xi was startled suddenly, and smiled wryly, did she become so greedy unknowingly? With a cold face and a cold heart, he never thinks about the love of his children.

Such a man, as long as he cares about her a little bit, that's all right. Anyway, I can't imagine how his gentle and affectionate side looks like. If there is such a side, Ziyu will no longer be Ziyu. .

Thinking of this, Yun Xi sighed slightly, put aside the distracting thoughts in her heart, and raised a shallow smile: "Yes. Your Majesty's great kindness, Yun Xi dare not forget it."

In this way, it is enough.

People who are too greedy will always lose a lot.

Raising her head again, Yun Xi fixedly looked at Ziyu's hard and stern face, and said softly, "Do you hate me because of my cowardice?"

"No." Ziyu's voice was indifferent but exceptionally powerful, making people believe what he said for no reason and feel at ease.

Although he didn't know why she asked, but Ziyu looked at her obviously relieved expression, and for some reason, added another sentence: "You are not timid, so it will be fine."

That's it... Cang Yunxi's heart moved, her ears blushed again, but she felt a little bit of sweetness welling up in her heart - did he mean that he was actually satisfied with her like this, and she didn't need to go? change something, right?

This is more inspiring than the sweet words of ordinary men.

"Thank you." Because she was a little excited, Yun Xi's voice was extremely low, and there was a slight tremor. If Zi Yu's hearing was not good, she might not have heard these two mosquito-like words at all.

Although Ziyu heard her words, he couldn't quite understand her emotions. She seemed a little happy at the moment.

She frowned, her happiness seemed to be only because she said that she didn't hate it...

The woman's mind seems to be a bit complicated, and Zi Yu doesn't quite understand it yet, but she can probably imagine that it's like a husband working hard outside, returning home and handing over the wages he just received to his wife. hairpin.

Hairpins may not be worth much, but this wife is often very moved...

The women in the palace are no better than ordinary people, but the truth must be the same.

Seeming to have figured it out, Ziyu put down his trousers and stood up, and Cang Yunxi followed suit.

"I'm going to the military camp, you yourself..." After a pause, Ziyu said lightly: "If you're bored, find some books to read, and go back to sleep early if you're sleepy, don't wait for me, I probably won't be back until very late."

Cang Yunxi nodded submissively, "Yes."

After Zi Yu finished explaining, he turned and walked out.

There was a vast darkness outside the hall, and Cang Yunxi watched his tall and straight back, feeling warm in his heart.
