Part 1 - Yu Nu Jiao / Jade Slave / Enslaved By Love

Chapter 016 The Knowledge of the Eunuch

It took Yin Ji only a short time to pierce Xie Yun, who was stabbed with many holes. Although she had no external injuries, she was shaking with pain.

But she was strong-willed and refused to show any pain no matter how sad she was. She just bit her lips until they bled.

When Xiuxiu came to deliver food, she was frightened when she saw her appearance. People who usually didn't dare to get too close to her were bold enough to touch her.

But Xie Yun avoided her hand halfway.

"I'm fine... Take it off, I have no appetite."

Xiuxiu's worry was beyond words: "Aunt, where are you feeling uncomfortable? You're bleeding... Do you want to ask the imperial physician to come and see?"

Xie Yun closed her eyes and turned her head away: "With our status, what can we ask the imperial physician for? You go, I'll be fine after a good sleep."

Xiuxiu felt sad. The imperial physician was an official, and the palace maids were slaves. They were indeed not qualified to ask the imperial physician to see them, but Xie Yun was different after all. The imperial physician had come before.

But seeing Xie Yun's pale face and blood at the corners of her mouth, she didn't dare to bother her. She could only straighten the quilt for her and went down, hoping that she would wake up full of energy.

But in fact, Xie Yun didn't sleep well this time. She didn't remember what she dreamed about, but she felt very uncomfortable and had layers of cold sweat on her body.

She could vaguely hear someone calling her. She thought she had opened her eyes, but what she saw was an endless darkness, like the bottom of a pool filled with suffocation and despair, or a dark and smelly death cell, or even more like the land temple that was hit by thunder and rain that year.

She whimpered and curled up tightly, but the boundless fear still surged over her. She could only bite her lips tightly, and refused to let go even if her mouth was full of blood.

A warm hand suddenly came up, pinching her jaw and forcing her to open her mouth. She was in a daze, and she still couldn't wake up after this action, but all the pain from the nightmare was dispelled by this touch from reality.

She instinctively moved closer to the hand, like a young animal seeking comfort.

The owner of the hand seemed to dislike such intimacy and quickly moved his hand away.

"No..."

She struggled to speak, but only said one word, and her consciousness was pulled into the darkness again.

Fortunately, the man still understood, and soon he put his hand down again, gently stroking her face, and never moved away.

In the comfort of this body temperature, Xie Yun's mood gradually stabilized and she fell into a deep sleep.

When her breathing became even, the man withdrew his hand and left the side hall very lightly.

The sky was completely bright, Yin Ji blinked his sore eyes, and continued to look down at the memorials. He was bothered by other things these days, and he was a little slack in government affairs. Now he hurried to deal with it when he had free time, and he was tossed until dawn.

Cai Tianxi came in with ginseng tea, his attitude was respectful and concerned: "Your Majesty, take a rest."

Today is a day off, no need to go to court.

Yin Ji took a sip, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to rest: "There are not many left."

Cai Tianxi did not dare to persuade him too much, so he could only sigh and extinguish the lights and candles in Qianyuan Hall one by one. When he returned to the outer room, Yin Ji had already started to review the memorials again.
