Jing Shang returned to the bedside, quickly held his hand, and said excitedly: "Derong, you finally woke up."
The palace man continued to drag the palace maid out. Since Derong said "goodbye", the palace maid's tongue was saved.
I had to go to Yeting.
The rest of the people still held candles high and dared not say a word.
After waiting for a while with his eyes open, Derong seemed to come back to his senses, grabbed Jing Shang's clothes and said, "Your Highness, this servant is not dreaming."
Jing Shang grabbed his hand tightly and said bitterly: "Tell me who it is, who tortured you like this, and I will kill him."
Although he asked this question, he knew in his heart that it was him.
Derong was originally the little eunuch closest to him. Once he lost power and was demoted to the sweeping position, naturally many palace officials who could not stand his behavior took the opportunity to vent their anger on Derong.
It is too easy for the palace to want a person to die quietly.
It's just a deliberate arrangement of rough and heavy work. After a hard day's work, only a mouthful of leftovers is left to eat. If something goes wrong, they will be punched and kicked. If they are sick, they will be left to dry.
In addition, the day Derong was sent to the miscellaneous room by him, he was really beaten badly by himself.
The imperial doctor said that one of his ribs was already broken and had been dragging, but now it has worsened and it is estimated that he will never be able to straighten his back again.
The fifth prince's anger reached the extreme, and he wanted to kill everyone with a knife in the next moment.
Derong shook his head: "A slave has a humble body, and I dare not let His Highness get a bad reputation as a slave."
A ferocious look appeared on the face of the fifth prince, and he said: "If you don't tell me, I will kill them all."
Derong knew the fifth prince was sick again just by looking at him.
What happened to the fifth prince recently? Is he so violent?
Derong lowered his eyes, the fifth prince was in urgent need of a vent, and he was that vent.
Looking past the fifth prince's body, Derong looked at the trembling palace attendants holding candles.
He almost starved to death in the service room. He was given medicine when he was unconscious and had something in his stomach, so he somewhat regained some strength.
Stretching out his hand, he identified the two palace officials who bullied him the most.
The fifth prince said coldly: "Drag him down and whip him."
"Your Highness, spare your life. This slave will never dare to do it again. Your Highness, please spare your life!"
The two palace ladies were dragged out, the palace door opened wide, screams entered the palace, and the palace ladies kneeling on the ground trembled even more.
Jing Shang's facial muscles twitched, imagining that he was holding a whip and beating the two people until they were bloody.
He thought so and planned to do so.
But as soon as he stood up, Derong stretched out his hand to hold him.
Looking back, Derong's thin and pale face was covered with tears, and he sobbed softly: "Your Highness, I thought I would never see you again."
Jing Shang's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Get out of here, get out of here."
After everyone in the palace left as if they had been reborn, the fifth prince threw himself into Derong's arms and cried loudly.
"Derong, no one believes me."
Derong was already eighteen years old, much taller than the fifth prince, but very thin. He gently stroked the fifth prince's head and said, "Your Highness, I believe in you."
Jing Shang curled up in Derong's arms, pulled open his clothes, and sucked on him like a child sucking milk.
Although the eunuch has no roots, he is still a man. Naturally, he can't suck anything out, but this action can calm him down.
The fifth prince cried and asked: "Derong, will you leave me like my mother did?"
Derong said: "From the moment you rescued the slave in the Royal Beast Garden, the slave will never leave you in this life."
The fifth prince buried his head in his arms again.
Derong was lying on his back, looking at the bed curtains, wondering what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, even if I die, my servant will die in front of you."

The next day, after the symposium is over, the students will leave for Jiangnan.
Without her intervention, Zheng Yuanlang's matter was suppressed without causing any disturbance.
Last time, the fifth prince turned over Zheng Daru's table in front of everyone, and Zheng Daru made a fuss known to everyone.
This time Zheng Daru's grandson died, but he was unable to do anything for him.
No one knows what the Holy Father said to Zheng Daru when he entered the palace last night. Zheng Daru petitioned for the bones early in the morning and returned to his hometown with his whole family.
Xiao Xingzhi actually sent her a message, writing in a thankful tone:
"Gu Yu, you are so lucky! The Zheng Daru who I mentioned to you before was pedantic, always had a stern face, and had many and complicated homework assignments. He finally left! I happily ate two bowls of rice at noon.
"
Gu Yu looked at those lines of words and remembered what Lu Xun said: Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.
At the end of the letter, Xiao Xingzhi asked: "When will you return to the Imperial College?"
Gu Yu crushed the paper ball into pieces and threw it into the wastebasket.
She doesn't have to go back to the Imperial College.
The day she returned from Jiangnan was when she entered the court.
If she were still alive then.
Also leaving Kyoto with Zheng Daru was the young master Di Tai. The Di family was an aristocratic family, and it was not comparable to someone as clean as Zheng Daru.
In the tug-of-war between the Holy Spirit and the Di family, both parties took a step back.
Di Tai was safe and sound, but was sent to his family far away in Changling, and would never be able to enter the capital again in this life.
Unjust?
injustice.
But Zheng Yuanlang, who was only nine years old, was even more unjust.
In the struggle for power, there is never a life for a life.
Gu Yu and some officials sent Jiangnan students out of the capital. Gao Huai found an opportunity and said to her: "Prince Gu, we made a bet at Yangkang Bookstore earlier. If Magistrate Su is not accused by the court, I will agree to it."
I’ll do whatever I can for you.”
Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, recalling that this was what happened.
At that time, she was just trying to keep her spirits up and didn't want to listen to nonsense, so she said it casually. Unexpectedly, Gao Huai still took it to heart.
Gu Yudao: "I don't need you to do anything for me now. Let's wait until you win the first prize and enter the court."
Gao Huai solemnly said: "It's a deal!"
Gu Yu couldn't laugh or cry, why did Gao Huai feel so happy when he owed others a promise?

Fee restaurant.
"Please take care of me, King Laoben. Is that really what she said?" Junze crossed his legs and asked with a hint of grinding his teeth.
Lan Yan didn't want to recall the embarrassment last night, but when her master asked, she had no choice but to say: "Exactly."
Junze was a little angry. Although the Holy Emperor did not deal with the fifth prince, he still felt a pang in his heart.
He could guess what His Majesty was thinking, so he would not be ignorant to compete with Gu Yu for this credit, thereby disturbing His Majesty's eyes.
However, thinking of how enthusiastically he approached Gu Yu yesterday and wanted to recruit Gu Yu to join his gang, Gu Yu laughed at him.
Forget it, I can’t think about it.
It's so embarrassing.
This is the first time in my life that I have been laughed at like this.
Jiangnan and his party must uncover evidence that Prince An intends to rebel.
But despite his efforts, all the credit goes to Gu Yu, which is really unpleasant to think about.
Junze took a white piece and knocked it on the chessboard with a deep look in his eyes.
Even if his efforts were thankless in the end, Gu Yu could never take the credit too smoothly.
