    Chapter 108 The sick and violent prince 6

    After Xie Rong finished speaking, his legs softened and he sat on the carpet, his thin shoulders shaking from endless coughing.

    His black hair was disheveled, and his colorful but maniacally smiling face could be vaguely seen behind his hair.

    Lu Yuanju’s face was blank. The wound on his back was stuck to his clothes and was still bleeding.

    “If I were the father, I would not leave you Saibei half alive,” Xie Rong said to himself, his hands could no longer support his body, so he simply leaned on the slave, “Kill them all, and the whole world will be alone.”

    “Father, this idiot, sent troops in the name of treating illness, but he was so cowardly and hypocritical, like a coward.”

    “As a result, when it came to the women who followed him in the harem, he suddenly stopped being hypocritical and could turn a blind eye even if people died in Ye Ting.”

    “Obviously Gu is more suitable to be the emperor,” Xie Rong couldn’t help but smile again, blinked and looked at Lu Yuanju, “Do you think so?”

    Lu Yuanju looked at him like a madman.

    Xie Rong immediately looked fierce and slapped him in the face. He almost couldn’t breathe, “I want to ask you a question!”

    Lu Yuanju endured the hatred of his family and his country and uttered one word: “Yes.”

    “Gu destroyed your country, and you can still answer yes. You are really cheap.”

    “Bitch, do you want a reward from Wugu?”

    The prince of the Celestial Kingdom in front of him was half crazy and half awake, and he did not care about the lives of others or his own life when he spoke.

    Lu Yuanju said with a wooden face: “I don’t want to.”

    Xie Rong slapped him again.

    Lu Yuanju gritted his teeth, wishing to poke a hole in his face, “I want to.”

    “Then crawl over here.”

    He wanted to see what kind of trick the sick prince was trying to get with his so-called reward.

    Lu Yuanju lifted up the hem of his clothes, gritted his teeth, swallowed the shame, and crawled towards Xie Rong.

    Then he saw Xie Rong lift the hem of his pajamas, revealing his legs without any obscene pants.

    Lu Yuanju’s eyes instantly darkened.

    “Come closer,” Xie Rong’s eyes were scornful. When he looked at him, he looked like he was looking at a vicious dog that had been expected, or like he was looking at someone close to him through him.

    Lu Yuanju pinched him…unconsciously…

    Black vortexes condensed in the deep eyes.

    A defeated country can only have a chance of survival if it endures hardships.

    For this, nothing is sacrificed.

    Lu Yuanju… lowered his head.

    Xie Rong… raised his head.

    The wound on Lu Yuanju’s back turned pus, which might stain the prince’s bed. Therefore, from today on, the person who warms the bed will be replaced by other slaves in the low room instead of Lu Yuanju.

    When Lu Yuanju learned about this, he was applying medicine to the wound on his back.

    Of course it’s not some good medicine for golden sores, just a few pieces of chewed herbs.

    “Brother Lu? Brother Lu?!”

    Lu Yuanju frowned: “What’s the matter?”

    “Ever since you came back from the dormitory of the sick prince this morning, you have been absent-minded,” a Saibei prisoner of war asked with concern, “Brother Lu, has the prince tortured you again?”

    Lu Yuanju bit his clothes, tore off a piece of cloth and wrapped it around the wound, avoiding answering, “What did you just say?”

    “Oh, just now the prince’s lackey came to send a message, saying that you don’t need to serve in the dormitory tonight, Brother Lu, and let the rest of us go in turn,” the Saibei prisoner of war continued, “That’s fine, we brothers share the joys and sorrows, no matter how he makes him humiliate, we have a hard life and a strong body, why are we afraid that he is a sick and consumptive ghost?!”

    All the prisoners of war echoed angrily.

    Zuo is just cracking the whip with his whip, but they are not afraid!

    Seeing Lu Yuanju’s cold expression, everyone hurriedly comforted him.

    “Brother Lu, don’t worry about us. You have done enough for us.”

    “Yes, yes, today the second child will go first, tomorrow the third child, and the day after tomorrow the fourth child! We must let the prince know that even if our Saibei warriors become prisoners of war, we will not be deserters, so he can just come over.”

    They understood clearly that the prince was seriously ill and locked himself in the East Palace every day. There was something wrong in his heart, and he just liked to arrest people to torture and vent his anger.

    So he comforted Lu Yuanju more sincerely.

    Lu Yuanju didn’t say anything and left with a straight face.

    Everyone was confused, but didn’t take it too seriously.

    The second oldest prisoner of war was taken away by the eunuchs at dawn.

    Lu Yuanju was chopping firewood outside the short house.

    “Brother Lu, it’s time to rest at this moment. Do you really want to work for that prince sincerely? What’s more, the injury on your back hasn’t healed yet.”

    “Brother Lu is worried about the second child, right?”

    A piece of firewood was chopped into pieces, and the ax was deeply embedded in the stake.

    Lu Yuanju squatted down and stared at the axe. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked it hard. The axe was knocked out of the stake and flew into his hand again.

    He continued to chop wood with an expressionless expression.

    After daybreak, the second prisoner of war returned.

    “Lu…Brother Lu,” the second prisoner of war looked up and saw Lu Yuanju chopping wood like a head, and he couldn’t help but be shocked in place.

    “Come back?” Lu Yuanju threw away his axe, looked up at him, and suddenly sneered, “It seems he didn’t do anything to you.”

    The second child suddenly blushed and hesitated for a long time, “Well…”

    “There is a blood feud between Saibei and Tianchao,” Lu Yuanju lowered his eyelids and leaned against the door, saying calmly, “Even if he didn’t do anything to you, don’t let down your guard.”

    The second son raised his voice, filled with righteous indignation: “This is natural! This little prince can use whatever means he can!”

    “Woof woof woof!” Suddenly a dog barked from a distance.

    Lu Yuanju turned his head to look at the sound and saw a mastiff that was stronger than an adult man running forward excitedly.

    The East Palace guard who was holding the dog chain behind him was dragged to the ground by the mastiff instead. He didn’t dare to let go of the chain in his hand even after dragging it all the way.

    “That’s the prince’s dog, named Xifeng,” said the second child.

    Lu Yuanju glanced back at him, “You know a lot.”

    The second child’s face turned red and his voice was angry: “The little prince asked me to go to his bedroom last night just to watch me and his West Wind fight for a dog bone. I was almost bitten to death by that dog! I can recognize this dog even if it turns into ashes!”

    “Oh,” Lu Yuanju raised an eyebrow and said casually, “It seems that he won’t call you to warm the bed in the future.”

    “Why?” The second child asked immediately.

    “Because you didn’t let him have all the fun,” Lu Yuanju half-squinted his eyes, looked at the dog for a while, then smiled coldly, “It’s just a beast.”

    In the days that followed, the people in the small room were called to the dormitory in turn, all trying to grab things from the mastiff.

    People were treated as beasts by him, but beasts were superior to others, and they used the prince’s power to show off their power in the East Palace.

    But for some unknown reason, this matter actually spread out from the East Palace.

    The emperor knew that the prince’s illness was getting better. Instead of making progress, he watched the beast fighting in the East Palace. He became furious and came to the East Palace to reprimand the people.

    As soon as the emperor reprimanded him, the queen felt extremely distressed and stood in front of Xie Rong to wipe her tears.

    Why is her Rong’er so miserable!

    “Queen, if you dote on him so much, you will harm him sooner or later!” The emperor was so angry that his beard was shaking.

    “Mother, why are you stopping him?!” Xie Rong was out of breath, and was patted on the back by the aunt in charge, venting his anger intermittently, “If you have the ability, kill me!”

    As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood. His thin body fell back and collapsed on the bed. His face was as white as paper and he passed out. Only half of his thin white wrists were hanging on the side of the bed.
