EmeraldCh16 - Zhou Huaiyan, Live a Long Life

Chang’an every year


The medical tower that Zhou Huaiyan talked about was actually called Min’an Pavilion. It was a medical place built specifically for him. d8Qvol

“When the princess was pregnant with His Highness, she was not in good health, so the Grand Duke personally ordered people to build this tower. He also personally went to the White Horse Temple to invite Great Master Jian Kong and inscribed the two characters “Min’an” on it.”

While Zhima led the way, she introduced the history of this loft to Ah Fei.

Jiang Min joined the army as a woman. During the previous emperor’s reign, she went south to Cangzhou with her older brother Jiang Yi to suppress the rebellion of Prince Jing and was later granted the title of princess.

Later, when the new emperor succeeded to the throne, Jiang Min was summoned into the imperial palace and became the emperor’s highest-ranking imperial concubine. However, everyone in the Duke’s mansion still respectfully addressed her as the princess. JHR6h2

They shuttled back and forth through the complicated corridors. Ah Fei followed at the end, listening attentively.

“Great Master Jian Kong once said that although this place is blessed, it lacks some water. Therefore, Min’an Pavilion used manpower to expand the lake and built it facing the water to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth…”

Ah Fei stared blankly into the distance——

The incomparably magnificent red high-rise building stood tall and erect in the middle of the lake, towering and majestic, with red rock pinnacles and layer upon layer of upturned eaves. It was so far-reaching.

The base of the loft was a tetragon pagoda with eight-petal plum blossoms carved on it, adding a deep meditation feel to it.

Ah Fei had only heard of the Zhou Dynasty’s Duke Wei being called the “Devil General”, but he didn’t know that the man actually had such a… soft side. It turned out that his master had been so deeply loved since he was born.

The kitten lowered his head, not knowing whether he was feeling envious or something else.

The medical boy servant had been waiting at the entrance for a long, long time. When he saw Zhima leading a person, he immediately greeted her respectfully. s6Xbef

“Greetings, Miss Zhima. Requesting this person to please… please come with me.”

He looked at Ah Fei, not knowing what to address him as. He had no choice but to bow slightly and pass over, leading the other person in.

There were several medical boy servants and female doctors in the medicine room. When they saw Ah Fei, they couldn’t help but cast curious glances at him.

The Ninth Prince kept this foreign slave and doted on him so much that he even went so far as to go against Duke Wei for him. This matter was now known to everyone in the Duke’s mansion. Everyone was very curious about what the foreign slave who had enchanted the Ninth Prince so absurdly looked like. vd7oPe

Ah Fei ignored those glances and merely lowered his head, walking quietly.

The medical boy servant led him to the fifth floor.

“Suo Woxie, His Highness ordered to find out the poison’s source for this person.”

The brown-haired man bowed slightly and caught sight of Ah Fei beside the medical boy servant. His eyes stayed on his curly, long hair and differently colored eyes, a trace of disdain slipping through his eyes. eYCX97

Ah Fei’s eyebrows furrowed. The man in front of him was a foreigner with extremely pure blood. His physique was tall and muscular. His excessively thick hair made him look somewhat barbaric, which was completely inconsistent with the smile on his face.

Perhaps the foreign race had left so many unhappy memories for him that when Ah Fei saw this man for the first time, he felt an indescribable aversion to him.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The poison was taken by Ah Fei himself. He naturally knew how to cure it, but the master shouldn’t know about it, so he had to go and cross the stage to save his face.

“……” KYAheR

Ah Fei’s eyes suddenly turned cold. The other party spoke in a foreign language, and only the two of them in this room could understand it.

The status of foreigners among slaves was low. They were just tools for their masters to play with and satiate their lust. Therefore, it was common to be subjected to indignity by such words. Just like oxen and horses being whipped, just like pigs and sheep being slaughtered, this was also natural.

In the past, Ah Fei had always remained calm after hearing even filthier and more malicious words than this. But perhaps because he had been treated so tenderly by his master these past few days, he almost forgot how humble his status was, and now even listening to the least bit of dirty words made him desperately serious.

Ah Fei’s fists clenched again and again, as if there was a ball of wet cotton stuffed down in his heart, so heavy that he could hardly breathe. He closed his eyes, intending to leave now. However, the next second, Suo Woxie suddenly grabbed his forearm. 48QlOS

“Since it’s His Highness’s order, I must not be careless, of course. I promise to check it carefully.”

His Highness’s order. 

Ah Fei paused his action of struggling to break free. The man smiled and looked at the medical boy servant guarding the doorway,

“Can you please also prepare a glass lamp that’s bright enough for me to examine them carefully?” 5K3FRN

The medical boy servant didn’t doubt anything else. He nodded and went to look for the lamp.

Bang!

In a split second, Ah Fei was pressed against the wall by the man. Rough fingers firmly held his lower jaw, while the other hand gripped his throat.

“Wu…” xy8vYK

The kitten let out a painful moan.

Such a painful and twisted posture made that pair of beautiful emerald eyes shed a few physiological tears. It was so beautiful that Suo Woxie clicked his tongue when he saw it.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“Although your body is a little thinner, your eyes are pretty good. Bitch slave, do you think you can hide your dirty blood by washing off the ink marks behind your ears?”

“……!” XaSwtg

Ah Fei’s eyes suddenly widened.

“Our foreign warriors will only die in battle and will never submit under the bodies of the Zhou people. Only a born bitch like you would shake your butt and beg to be fucked!”

The man sneered,

“Tell me, how did you get here, and how did you get a hold of Zhou Huaiyan?” AWmKX9

“……”

Ah Fei gritted his teeth, refusing to answer.

“Oh, I forgot, you were poisoned mute by your previous master, ah.”

The smile on the man’s face became softer and softer, but the strength in his hands became stronger, as if wanting Ah Fei to open his mouth. khwIdf

“If you can’t tell me, why don’t you give me a demonstration? After all, even though that person poisoned you, he didn’t cut your tongue. Does that mean that you, a bitch slave, are very good at licking?”

“……”

He didn’t know whether it was because of fear or humiliation, but Ah Fei couldn’t help himself from trembling. He was seized in the man’s hands, like a baby bird whose wings were broken after being caught by a hunter.

Fortunately, at this moment, the medical boy servant came holding up a lamp. He looked at the strange postures of the two of them and showed hesitation on his face, but Suo Woxie never restrained his strength. He then turned around, seemingly tormented. x86zD2

“His Highness ordered me to check the source of the poison. He wanted me to take a look at his throat to handle what traces of poison were there, but now… he doesn’t seem to be very cooperative.”

The medical boy servant holding a lamp came over and frowned upon hearing this,

“His Highness ordered this, so please don’t make things difficult for us.”

“……” LhPQy4

Ah Fei took a breath.

He looked at the smiling man in front of him and eventually closed his eyes. Then slowly, he loosened his jaw.

The bright glass lamp shined on Ah Fei’s face, which was terribly pale. The thick, pitch-dark eyelashes trembled lightly. There seemed to be a stream of flittering light flashing through them. Upon seeing this, Suo Woxie breathed an exaggerated sigh of relief. His tone was extremely friendly,

“Requesting this little friend to please open your mouth wider so that I can clearly see the traces of poison left in your throat.” zgF7HK

“……”

Ah Fei clenched his fist tightly, a little bit of blood leaking out between his fingers. Then, his bright red lips, which were bitten before, opened tremblingly.

“I heard that these days, Zhou Huaiyan lets you stay in his room for the night every day, ah. How about it? Do you feel comfortable being fucked by that sick man?”

Suo Woxie pinched his chin and, in an extremely blasphemous and humiliating gesture, inserted his blunt finger into Ah Fei’s mouth. WkKpYa

“Oh, I forgot. Perhaps his worn-out body wouldn’t be able to touch you. Heh, Jiang Yi finally suffered his retribution. He killed countless heroic warriors of our clan, but the people he loved most around him all died at the hands of the Zhou people,”

“Both of his sons died in Jiangnan, his younger sister died in the palace, and Zhou Huaiyan was his final retribution. Even if he gave all of his possessions to build this tower, that sick man would not survive for a few years…”

——

Suddenly, there was a short, scalp-numbing sound of cracking bones in the room. 3wuEaq

Just like a wild beast tearing its prey apart, effortlessly chewing the bones into pieces.

The man suddenly broke out into a hysterical scream.

“Ah——”

He abruptly retreated and stumbled to the ground. The horrifying and unbearable pain made Suo Woxie constantly roll and convulse on the ground. XysCjR

“My… hand… bitch slave! Bitch slave! How dare you…”

Pa——

The glazed lamp in the medical boy servant’s hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces. He looked at the fragments and splattered bloodstains on the ground, his face instantly turning deathly pale.

Ah Fei’s eyebrows furrowed. As if he couldn’t hear the man’s ear-piercing scream, he merely turned his head and casually spat out something. Fe9WEk

The medical boy servant tremblingly lowered his head and looked down, only to see the bloody thing rolling all the way to him.

——It was a severed finger.

The severed finger that was forcibly bitten off by that person was still twitching.

“This… this…” UskSGd

He opened his two eyes wide and looked at the half-blood-stained foreign boy. There was a frightened expression on his face, as if he had seen some man-eating devil. He practically ran out rolling and crawling on the ground.

Ah Fei ignored the medical boy servant, who ran away in panic, and simply wiped a handful of blood from the corner of his mouth. The dazzlingly bright blood spread out, dyeing half of his face blood red.

The slightly curly hair on his forehead was messy, covering his eyes and brows and casting thin and dark shadows. His eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.

The foreign boy, half covered in blood, casually took off the wooden stick used for pounding medicine next to him. He then walked towards the man who kept convulsing and screaming, pinching Suo Woxie’s jaw, resembling what the other man had just done. ADYcvF

“Open…”

Open your mouth.

Ah Fei expressionlessly used the wooden stick to pry open the man’s mouth. The shards of glass scattered all over the place reflected the candlelight and the mottled specks on his face.

At this moment, the horrific blood stain seemed to come to life, growing like cold and sharp red thorns on the side of the foreign boy’s face. Pyg9W0

“Aaaahhhhh……!!!”

Suo Woxie’s expression gradually changed from pain to fear. He struggled desperately, but the strength he had always been proud of was of no use to this thin and weak slave in front of him.

The man struggled desperately, like a stranded fish on the verge of death. The thick wooden stick was roughly thrusting into his mouth, and soon his oral cavity and throat were bleeding.

After a moment, Ah Fei took out the wooden stick and looked at his fellow tribe member, who was dying like a dead fish. His pale green eyes were terrifyingly cold, d1E2zP

“Say…”

Zhou Huaiyan,

Live a long life

He thought silently, uOKYfe
