Let’s talk about Song Shuwen’s side, they were still locked up in the place where they couldn’t see their hands.
The darkness around it seemed to be about to swallow people, and there were only occasional dripping sounds of water coming from the silence, which made people feel shuddered.
Song Shuwen's stomach was already so hungry that he was croaking. The feeling of hunger was like countless little bugs gnawing on his internal organs.
He leaned weakly against the cold wall, his heart full of despair and anxiety, and he didn't know when such a day would end.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a slight sound of footsteps came.
Song Shuwen immediately raised his ears and a glimmer of hope surged in his heart.
His eyes were staring at the direction where the sound came. Although he could not see anything, his eyes were full of expectations.
As the footsteps got closer, the fragrance of the food gradually drifted into his nose.
Song Shuwen's throat moved unconsciously, and the fragrance seemed to be the most beautiful temptation in the world.
When the food was placed in front of him, he couldn't wait to pick it up and put it in front of his nose and smell it.
At this moment, his heart was full of vigilance, fearing that the meal would be poisonous.
But after careful identification, he was sure that there was no poison, and the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.
He showed a look of relief on his face, and then he began to swallow it. While eating, he was still thinking in his heart: No matter what, you will have the energy to find a way out after you are full. It would be great if you could see the person who delivered the meal, maybe you could inquire about something from him.
After eating, Song Shuwen licked his lips with satisfaction.
At this time, he felt keenly that the person who delivered the meal had not left yet.
A glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in his heart, and perhaps he could find some useful information from this person.
He cleared his throat and asked carefully: "Where is this place? Who brought me here?"
The man was silent for a moment and made a low voice: "Don't worry about anything, just stay honestly."
When Song Shuwen heard this, a burst of anger surged in his heart.
He straightened his body and said righteously: "Those who do bad things will not end well!"
The man snorted coldly from his nose and said nothing.
In another room, the secret guards all leaned against the wall weakly, as if all their vitality had been removed.
Suddenly, a faint light came, and then someone walked in slowly with the eternal light.
The dim light gradually dispelled the darkness and the room suddenly lit up.
Several secret guards narrowed their eyes slightly and adapted to the sudden light.
When they saw clearly that three or five masked people were coming, their hearts became even more nervous.
One of the masked men glanced at the secret guards and said coldly: "You are useless, and you are all going to be destroyed now."
The secret guard widened his eyes and angrily scolded the masked man with anger: "Who are you? Why are you so hateful?"
A flame of wrath burned in his eyes.
However, the masked man remained silent, as if the questioning of the secret guards was meaningless to them.
Immediately afterwards, the masked man threw out the dart directly without hesitation.
The cold lights flashed under the light and flew towards the dark guards in an instant.
The secret guards watched the darts attack in horror, but because they had no strength now, they could only barely move like ordinary people.
They tried to avoid it, but their physical weakness made their movements slow and weak.
The dart hit several secret guards accurately, and they groaned in pain, with despair in their eyes.
One of the secret guards thought sadly in his heart: I didn't expect that we would end up like this.
He felt that his companions around him fell down one by one, and he gradually lost consciousness.
In the end, all the secret guards could not defeat the masked man's attack and were all taken away by darts.
Their bodies were lying quietly on the ground, and the once fighting spirit's eyes have now become empty and unsightly, as if telling their unwillingness and helplessness.
Several masked men left.
After eating, Song Shuwen felt his abdomen full, and a sense of comfort spread throughout his body.
He leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly closed, and was about to take a break.
However, at this moment, a sound of footsteps came from far and near.
Soon, he walked in alone.
This man was also covered in his face and couldn't see his face clearly.
He said to the person who delivered the meal: "The other beasts are dead."
When the person who delivered the meal heard this, he burst into laughter. The laughter seemed particularly harsh in this small space.
Then, the person who delivered the meal had a look of pride and cruelty and said to Song Shuwen: "Your companions are all dead, but it is useful to keep you."
When Song Shuwen heard this, he was shocked and felt a "buzzing" sound in his head.
"You are worse than beasts!" Song Shuwen cursed angrily.
Song Shuwen felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer, and his grief drowned him like a tide.
Those secret guards, they have experienced so many things together, but now they have died so miserably.
His eyes instantly turned red, and tears rolled in his eyes. Thinking of the loyalty and courage of the secret guards, and thinking of their death inexplicably, Song Shuwen could no longer control his emotions and started crying.
His shoulders were shaking violently, and tears flowed like a flood that broke into a dam.
Another day passed quietly, and Xi Yu stood in the hall with a solemn expression and his eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.
He kept paced in place, hoping that Song Shuwen would appear in the next moment.
However, time passed by minute by minute, and Song Shuwen still did not arrive.
A deep disappointment surged in Xi Yu's heart. He sighed helplessly and said to the guards beside him: "It seems that Song Shuwen is missing."
"Prime Minister, what should I do now?" the guard asked carefully.
Xi Yu frowned and thought for a moment, then said decisively: "Send soldiers to send soldiers to post notices outside. Whoever provides Song Shuwen's clues will be rewarded."
As soon as the news spread, the entire capital was in an uproar.
The people started to talk.
"Have you heard it? Doctor Song is missing, and the Prime Minister is offering a reward to find clues." A commoner said to the person next to him in a low voice.
"Oh, how could this Divine Doctor Song disappear? What happened?" Another commoner looked confused.
Some people secretly thought in their hearts that if they could find clues about Song Shuwen, they would get rewards and improve their lives.
Some people are worried about Song Shuwen's safety and hope that he can be safe and sound.
In a small alley, several young people gathered together to discuss the matter.
"This is a good opportunity. If we can find clues about Doctor Song, we will be rich." An excited light flashed in a young man's eyes.
"Don't just think about getting rich. It's definitely not easy for Doctor Song to disappear. Maybe there is any danger." Another young man said with a frown.
"No matter what, we will also go and inquire, maybe we can help." The third young man suggested.
So, with various thoughts, people began to search for clues about Song Shuwen.
The entire capital was shrouded in a tense and expectant atmosphere.
Gan Mei sat in the room, holding a handkerchief tightly in her hand, frowned with her eyebrows, her eyes full of worry and anxiety. When she learned that Song Shuwen was missing, she felt her heart suddenly sinking, as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Song Shuwen could return safely.
Tears were rolling in her eyes, she forced herself to prevent them from falling, but the sadness in her heart surged like a tide.
Just as Gan Mei was sad, Xi Yu walked in.
His face was also exhausted and worried, but he still tried to remain calm.
Xi Yu looked at Gan Mei and said softly: "Don't worry too much. I have recruited famous doctors. I believe other miracle doctors will come to see the child."
But Ganmei still couldn't stop crying.
A few days passed by, and many doctors came during this period, but no one could make the opera safe and sound.
Gan Mei's heart became more and more desperate, and her eyes were empty and unconscious, as if she had lost all hope.
Every time she saw those doctors shaking their heads helplessly, her heart felt like she was being pulled hard.
She sat beside the child's bed, gently stroked the child's face, and tears fell silently.
She kept blaming herself in her heart for why she couldn't protect her children and why she let them suffer such pain.
That night, Xi Yu came to Gan Mei and looked at her haggard appearance, and felt pity in her heart.
He gently hugged Gan Mei and comforted: "Don't be sad, what Song Shuwen said may not be correct. Didn't he say that if he can't be treated in three days, the child will have problems? But after three days, the child is still the same as at the beginning, and it has not deteriorated much. This means that there may be hope."
After hearing Xi Yu's words, Gan Mei raised her head slightly, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
But soon, the light dimmed again. "Husband, is there really hope? I'm so afraid of losing my child."
Xi Yu held Gan Mei's hand tightly and said firmly: "There will be hopeful. We cannot give up. As long as we continue to search, we will definitely find someone who can cure the child."
Gan Mei leaned in Xi Yu's arms, and tears poured out again. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that God could bless the child with peace and safety.
Xi Yu frowned.
He couldn't figure it out. Song Shuwen has always been known for his excellent medical skills and accurate judgment. How could he make a mistake in his judgment this time?
However, the child's condition has not deteriorated at the moment, which makes him feel that this may be a good thing.
He paced back and forth, looking out the door from time to time, as if he was expecting Song Shuwen to appear suddenly.
However, the day passed again and there was still no news about Song Shuwen.
None of the miracle doctors who were summoned could make their children completely heal.
A rage gradually surged in Xi Yu's heart, and he felt as if he was in a desperate situation and could do nothing.
"Why? Why can't I find someone who can cure the child?" Xi Yu said to himself angrily.
He remembered Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin, the mother and son once brought him endless trouble.
Now, the child is sick and Song Shuwen is missing, but they are still alive.
Xi Yu felt that the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
"Come!" Xi Yu shouted loudly.
The guards immediately ran in, knelt on one knee, waiting for the order.
"Catch Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin for me, and take it to the city tower to behead and show it to the public!" Xi Yu gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
The guards took the order and left.
Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin were forcibly taken to the city tower by the guards.
Zhu Lianxiang was full of horror. She kept struggling and shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, please spare me!"
Chen Bin was also so scared that his face turned pale.
Xi Yu stood on the city tower and looked at them from a high place. There was no trace of pity in his eyes, only anger. "Do you think I will let you go? I want you to double the pain you brought to me!"
Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin cried in despair, knowing that they had no way to live.
With a command, the executioner raised his sword.
Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin closed their eyes and waited for the arrival of death.
Among the crowds under the city tower, everyone whispered and talked.
"Look, this person just can't do bad things. This is the end, retribution!" an old man shook his head and sighed.
"Yes, I do many evil things and can't escape punishment after all." Another person echoed.
People's faces include condemnation of Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin, as well as feelings about cause and effect.
Xi Yu returned to the mansion with a gloomy expression, but there was no happiness in his heart.
Although Zhu Lianxiang and Shen Bin and his son are dead, he cannot feel any relief.
The weak look of Yu Ping'an kept appearing in his mind. How can he make the child get better?
This question was like a heavy rock that pressed on his heart.
And that mysterious masked man, who is he?
All of this became a mystery, making Xi Yu feel extremely confused and helpless.
"Come!" Xi Yu shouted loudly.
The guards ran in immediately.
"Continue to send additional personnel to find a miracle doctor, and make sure to make the child get better. Also, try your best to investigate clues about masked people, and do not slack off at all." Xi Yu ordered.
The guards took the order and left.
Night fell quietly, and Xi Yu came to Gan Mei's room again with a heavy heart.
He gently pushed open the door and saw Gan Mei sitting beside the bed, her face filled with a surprise smile.
"Husband, Ping An's fever has subsided! I don't know what's going on, this is a really good thing."
Xi Yu hurried to the edge of the bed and reached out to touch Xi Ping'an's forehead.
Sure enough, the originally hot temperature had dropped.
A sense of joy surged in his heart, but also full of doubt.
"No medicine was used, so it was naturally like this?" Xi Yu asked in surprise.
Ganmei nodded vigorously, tears flashing in her eyes. "Yes, I also find it strange. Without any medicine, the child's fever subsided. Maybe God heard our prayers and blessed the child."
Xi Yu looked at Xi Ping'an in a coma and said, "This must be a good sign. We must believe that the child will get better."
Gan Mei leaned on Xi Yu's shoulder and tears fell again. "Husband, I am really afraid of losing my child. Now that the child's fever has subsided, I feel a little more at ease."
"Don't be afraid, we will always protect the children."
Gan Mei's face was full of piety, and she continued, "Captain my husband, I asked Ouyang Linlin to take her to the Buddhist temple to pray for blessings that day. It is probably because the Buddha really blessed our children."
Xi Yu frowned slightly. Although he had doubts about this statement, he was unwilling to investigate it at this time.
He didn't know what exactly made the child's condition improve, but as long as the child gradually got better, it would be a good thing.
"No matter what the reason is, as long as the child can get better." Xi Yu whispered, "Maybe the child will recover completely." His eyes fell gently on Xi Ping'an's little face, and his heart was full of expectations.
Gan Mei nodded.
Gan Mei looked at Xi Yu and said gently: "Husband, since the child is getting better, don't accompany me tonight. Let's go with other ladies, so as not to have any objections."
Xi Yu was slightly stunned, and a feeling of emotion surged in his heart.
He looked at Gan Mei with admiration in his eyes.
"You are so well-educated." Xi Yu said softly, "At this time, you can still think about others."
Gan Mei smiled slightly, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face. "Husband, this is what I should do. You can't let other sisters think that your husband is favored by one or the other."
Xi Yu nodded and reached out to caress Gan Mei's cheek. "Okay, since that's the case, I won't be here tonight. Take good care of the children and let me know if there is any situation."
Gan Mei nodded and said, "Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of peace."
Xi Yu took a deep look at Gan Mei and Xi Ping'an, then turned around and left.
His heart was filled with emotion, and it was his blessing to have such an understanding wife.
Xi Yu slowly walked into Song Meijiao's room. Song Meijiao was sitting at the table, holding her cheek with her hands, and fell into deep thought.
The moment she saw Xi Yu, she showed a look of surprise on her face.
She hurriedly got up, tidied up her clothes in a panic, and then saluted.
"Husband, why are you here?" Song Meijiao's voice was filled with a hint of surprise and confusion.
Xi Yu looked at Song Meijiao with a gentle smile on her face. "I should come to you tonight."
Song Meijiao felt even more panicked after hearing Xi Yu's words. She looked down at her somewhat messy clothes and untouched face, and felt very regretful.
"Husband, I don't know you will come and I haven't cleaned up. It's really rude. I know that you should accompany Sister Gan Mei and the child." Her voice was filled with self-blame and uneasiness.
Xi Yu walked to Song Meijiao and gently held her hand. "It's okay, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm here because I want to accompany you."
Xi Yu looked at Song Meijiao and opened her mouth, originally planning to tell Xi Ping'an's situation.
But when the words came to my mouth, I swallowed them back.
At this moment, he didn't want to have trouble with Song Meijiao because of his child's affairs.
Moreover, although Xi Ping'an's condition showed signs of improvement, it was still not optimistic. He did not want to cause unnecessary trouble and concern at this time.
The emotion that had been suppressed for a long time in Xi Yu's heart surged out like a flood breaking through the dam at this moment.
In the past few days, he has been worried about Xi Ping'an's condition, anxious about Song Shuwen's disappearance, and has to deal with various court affairs. It is really a big deal.
