I can’t do it without running away

Shen Yuexi didn't know how she got back to the house.

Leng Shuang's tragic situation was deeply imprinted in her mind. Now she has given up half of her thoughts of escaping.

This prince of Qi was so ruthless towards his servants. Leng Shuang received such a cruel punishment simply because he failed to keep an eye on her.

If she ran away, would she also be punished like this?

Is Xiao Beiheng trying to scare the monkeys?

Thinking of this, the originally comfortable room suddenly became cold and terrifying. The dark red sandalwood furniture in the room seemed to be stained with blood.

She sat on the chair numbly until there was a sudden knock on the door.

As if frightened, Shen Yuexi jumped up suddenly and backed away hastily, even knocking over the chair.

Leng Shuang opened the door and stood at the door looking at her. Her eyes were complicated. She couldn't tell whether it was hatred, fear, or both.

She looked pale and was biting her lip tightly. Her left wrist was wrapped in a thick white cloth, and a dark red color could still be seen faintly 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 her escape was wrong. But Leng Shuang's hand was cut off because of her escape. Now Leng Shuang is standing in front of her, and her left hand is gone.

Will Leng Shuang directly pounce on her and strangle her to death with his 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 whispered: "Doctor Lin has already treated my wound."

Shen Yuexi still stood tightly by the wall.

Leng Shuang seemed to notice her panic, and said with a forced smile: "You are His Royal Highness's guest, I won't 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 trivial matter, a person's hand was cut off. If you whip it with a whip, the wound can be healed, but how can a severed limb be reborn?

Leng Shuang was noncommittal and walked to the table. She habitually stretched out her hands to support the fallen chair, but the wound on her left hand was stuck on the chair. She immediately showed a painful look and quickly covered her mouth with her right hand. .

Seeing that she was sweating in pain, Shen Yuexi didn't care about anything else, so she quickly walked to her, held her arm and said:

"Stop doing it, I'll do it."

Leng Shuang moved his shoulders, as if he wanted to throw her away. But in the end, she supported him.

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

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

"Imprisonment?" Leng Shuang laughed softly, frowning at the same time.

Shen Yuexi didn't feel that she had said anything wrong. Losing freedom was like imprisonment in her eyes. So she asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Leng Shuang did not answer, but stood up and suddenly knelt on the ground.

Shen Yuexi didn't know why, so she quickly went to help Leng Shuang and said, "If you have anything to say, just get up and say it. No need to kneel down."

Leng Shuang refused, raised his eyes and stared at her:

"Ms. Pei, I know you are trying every means to escape. But I beg you, I have no grudge against you. Please leave me a way out."

Leng Shuang's voice was choked.

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, I will cut off one of my hands, and then cut off my foot when I run away. Until all my hands and feet are gone, with Dr. Lin's medical skills, I can't die even if I want to..."

Shen Yuexi heard a chill running through her back: "You mean Dr. Lin..."

Before Leng Shuang could respond, she collapsed on the bed.

This prince of Qi is also a talented person, but he didn't expect to be so cruel and ruthless at such a young age. She is in his hands, and now she is a guest. Maybe tomorrow he will turn against her and chop off her hands and feet too...

When she thought of such a tragic ending, her thoughts of escape were not completely extinguished, but instead burned even more.

Working under such a terrifying person, life is worse than death. After all, death is just a matter of closing one's eyes. And Xiao Beiheng cut off people's hands and feet, making life worse than death.

No, she absolutely had to run away. She couldn't stay in this place for one more day.

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

Leng Shuang is right. They didn't even know each other, and they had no grudges. Is there a way to have the best of both worlds, which can not only save Leng Shuang's hands and feet, but also escape smoothly?

She sat there frowning and thinking hard about what to do.

Leng Shuang said to her: "Ms. Pei, it's already late at night. Go to bed quickly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that we will set off at noon tomorrow and leave here to return to the fiefdom."

Leaving tomorrow?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Beiheng moved so quickly, Shen Yuexi's head started to hurt.

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 served her. If she said she was hungry, Leng Shuang would arrange meals. In this way, there was a solution.

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

It turned out that Shen Yuexi suddenly wanted to eat hot pot in the morning, so Leng Shuang arranged for a servant to make it. After taking a few bites, Shen Yuexi got interested and asked Leng Shuang to move the hot pot to the window. Leng Shuang only had one hand and could not hold it steadily. , dropped the hot pot and spilled it on Shen Yuexi's clothes.

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

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

Lin Kui looked at the red oil soup spilled on the ground, and then at Leng Shuang who had been beaten with several blood marks on his face. He shook his head and said angrily to Leng Shuang:

"Master asked you to serve Mrs. Pei alone, but 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. I get so angry when I look at her even more. Look at my clothes!"

As Shen Yuexi spoke, she pretended to be aggrieved and showed Lin Kui her clothes that had been stained with red oil.

Lin Kui sighed and said: "This maid is really useless. But His Highness the Crown Prince arranged for her to take care of Lady Pei, I..."

Shen Yuexi knew that Lin Kui felt that this was Xiao Beiheng's decision and that he could not make the decision. But she also knew that Lin Kui was not the kind of person who would do whatever his master said, otherwise he would not "make the decision without authorization and buy the prescription for his master." Already.

The most important thing is that Lin Kui made the decision without authorization, but Xiao Beiheng did not cut off his hand.

This is Shen Yuexi's plan: use Lin Kui to be the unlucky guy, and Lin Kui will get scolded at most.

"Doctor Lin, look, His Royal Highness arranged for this girl to take care of me. He must have wanted to make me feel comfortable, right?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did say that Lady Pei must live comfortably."

"But I feel uncomfortable now!" Shen Yuexi shouted with her hands on her hips, "Doctor Lin, what do you think we should do?"

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

"You don't have to take care of Mrs. Pei anymore. I'll arrange for another maid to come. When His Highness the Crown Prince wakes up, I will report to him."

Leng Shuang had a sullen face, saluted Lin Kui and said, "I obey, my slave."

Turning back and taking a deep look at Shen Yuexi, Leng Shuang quickly walked out of the house.
