Broken wings

Ouyang Qian looked around, didn't see anyone, took it with both hands, bowed down and thanked, "Thank you for ......

."

Ouyang Qian gobbled up, choked after just two bites, and was about to go find some water to drink, but saw Yuan Zhen looking at him behind him, so frightened that he hurriedly put the steamed bun aside, and then knelt on the ground.

Yuan Zhen glanced at the steamed bun, looked at him again, and asked, "Who gave it to you?"

Ouyang Qian's eyes glanced back slightly, hoping that the old man would never come out, and said weakly: "No one gave it to the slave, it was the slave who picked it up ......."

"Oh, why can't I pick it up?".

At this time, the old man was coming out of the imperial dining room, and in his hand were several steamed buns of different sizes that had been eaten: "Child, you eat these first......

".

Ouyang Qian's heart fell, and Yuan Zhen asked the old man, "You gave him this steamed bun

?"

"Yes, the old slave saw that the child was pitiful, and that his hungry chest was pressed against his back, so he gave him a piece. "The old man didn't know the truth, so he told the truth.

Yuan Zhen nodded, and looked at Ouyang Qian again: "Picked it up?"

Ouyang Qian didn't know what to say, since his father-in-law came so quickly, it meant that someone was secretly watching him and saw that someone was helping him, so the punishment came.

"Someone. Yuan Zhen pointed to the old man, "Forty boards." "

The old man

looked dazed, how could Ouyang Qian be willing to burden others, so he quickly straightened up to protect the old man, and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, don't do this, it was picked up by the slave, and the slave picked it up from the saliva bucket, it's none of his ......business."

"Ouyang Qian, you have already committed the crime of bullying the king, do you think you can run away?

"I'm sorry, it was the slave who deceived you, and it was also the slave who had ill intentions, seeing that the old man was soft-hearted, so he begged the old man to give it to the slave, and the emperor wanted to punish the slave alone, don't hurt the old man's ......."

Yuan Zhen only skimmed one word: "Hit." "

Immediately, the

executioner dragged the old man on the stool, and the old man was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

The stick smashed down, Ouyang Qian stretched out his hand to block it, and it completely smashed on Ouyang Qian's arm, and instantly heard the sound of a bone cracking. Ouyang Qian's painful face changed, and he stopped the palace people who were about to be executed with a cane: "Your Majesty, don't do this! It's the slave's fault, the slave knows it's wrong, the emperor wants to punish the slave alone!" Ouyang Qian kowtowed heavily on the ground, his forehead smashed to the ground, and he saw blood in a flash, his arm was swollen by the court staff, and he was stiffly lifted in the air, kowtowing again and again, and even the guards who were going to be executed were afraid that he would break his skull.

Ouyang Qian cried slightly, blood and tears flowed down his eyelids together, and his tied hair was slightly scattered, and the twilight light dyed the tips of his hair, adding a bit of gentleness, lined with the fallen leaves in the sunset, looking particularly desolate: "Your Majesty, that steamed bun slave ate two bites, if the emperor is really angry, order someone to cut open the slave's stomach and take it out, the slave will not eat anything in the future......

."

Although the old

man didn't understand the truth of the matter, when he saw Ouyang Qian, he only felt heartache and regret, and immediately said: "Child, it's okay, grandpa, you're old, you won't live for a few more years, people are iron and steel, you are still so young, how can you not eat?"

Seeing that Yuan Zhen did not speak, the execution guard took advantage of this gap to hit the court with a cane, and with just one cane, the old man felt that his bones were about to break, and his hands instantly clenched the bench and whimpered. Ouyang Qian screamed and flew up, his head soaked the old man's clothes with blood, and shouted bitterly: "Don't hit him——!".

Yuan Zhen didn't

know what he was insisting on, if he didn't eat all the time, at most for more than ten days, he still had to give him food, but he just didn't want to go along with him now.

Ouyang Qian raised his head and

shouted: "Your Majesty, the slave is willing to die in order to stop the cane!" After speaking, Ouyang Qian got up and slammed his head into the pillar, blood gushed out, and his body fell to the ground. Yuan Zhen didn't react for a moment, and when he looked in the direction of Ouyang Qian, Ouyang Qian was already lying on the ground weakly, and suddenly felt that his heart had stopped, "Pass on the Imperial Doctor's ——!

."

Yuan Zhen helped Ouyang Qian lean on him, Ouyang Qian flashed his eyelashes, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty...... The food had just been eaten and had not yet been digested, and the emperor ordered someone to cut it open in time, but it was still too late to take ......it out."

"What nonsense are you talking about now!".

"Thanks to the fact that he has been punished one after another in recent days, his internal organs are all damaged, and his body is weak, so he has not been able to use all his strength to hit the wall, otherwise his skull would have been torn apart, which is also a blessing in misfortune. When Lone Shi showed him the injury, he also checked his body just in case, and saw all kinds of bruises and purple wounds on his body, and couldn't help but look at Yuan Zhen with embarrassment, Yuan Zhen's face was as black as coal, and his face was ruthless when he looked at the wounds on his body.

Lonely Shi sighed and said: "The people in the handyman room are really smart, they focus on where their clothes can cover them, if I don't take a look, I don't know that Ouyang Qian still has so many injuries and ...... on his body."

When Ouyang Qian woke up, he thought that he had entered the Hades Palace, his eyes were not focused, and he couldn't see anything clearly, but he felt that the environment was very familiar, and then turned his head to see a few people gathered around the bed, and said softly: "Qian'er, you're awake, it's okay." "

Ouyang Qian's eyes slowly regained focus, and when he saw Yuan Zhen, Gu Shi and Feng Shi'an beside the bed, he realized that he was still alive, sat up with his body propped up, touched the bag on his head, and shouted sneeringly: "Your Majesty ......".

"You dare to threaten me with death. Yuan Zhen's words couldn't hear joy and anger, Ouyang Qian bowed his head and said, "The slave didn't expect to survive...... The minions didn't want to blackmail you, sorry ......."

Seeing that Yuan Zhen's face was not good, he was afraid that he would have to say anything again, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, if you have anything to say, I will talk about it after he is better." "

Ouyang Qian's head was bulging, he couldn't help but touch it, and said to Gu Shi: "Thank you, Gu Shi, ......

."

"Since he's awake, you leave the medicine and go back to rest first. "

Knowing that he had something to say, he took out the medicine in the medicine box and put it on the table: "Take it four times a day until the bulge on the door of your head disappears, and then you can stop." Picking up another ointment, "Apply this to your body, and it will get rid of the bruise in a few days." "

Yuan Zhen nodded, and left with the medicine box in his spare time.

"Does your head still hurt?" Yuan Zhen asked out loud, Ouyang Qian glanced at him and said in a low voice, "It doesn't hurt...... The minion is fine......

".

"Do you have the foresight to know that you won't die, so you are so unscrupulous to hit the pillar with your head?" Yuan Zhen was angry that he was always fooled by him, and again and again, an emperor was played with by him, and he had no face at all, and he felt ridiculous when he recalled his gaffe after seeing him hit the pillar.

Ouyang Qian was uncomfortable.

"It cost you three hundred and twenty-six taels of silver to heal your wounds. "

Before Ouyang Qian could react to what this sentence meant, he bowed his head to Yuan Zhen and said, "I'm sorry...... Sorry, let the emperor break the bank. "

"Should I pay for your consultation and medical expenses?" asked Yuan Zhen rhetorically.

Ouyang Qian then realized that his father-in-law should not have treated him, he was just a subordinate now, and he was not his child, how could he be delusional that he cared about his body and condition......? Yes, thank you to the emperor for paying for the medicine for the slave, and the slave will find a way to return it to you...... Please ask the emperor to give me some time, and the minions will soon think of a way to ......

."

Yuan Zhen didn't mean to care about him asking for money, but he was angry that he used his own safety as a threat every time, and when he heard him say that he wanted to pay back the money, he was not only unhappy, but his heart was even more panicked.

restlessness all day long...... Yuan Zhen couldn't help but rub his face and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ouyang Qian got up and got out of bed, held his bandaged left hand with his right hand, took a pen and paper and wrote down two identical IOUs, then knelt down on his knees and said, "Thank you for the emperor's mercy, the slave soiled the dragon bed, so I will take your sheets and wash them before returning them to you." The medicine fee for healing the slave has already made an IOU, you have a copy here, the slave has a copy here, and the slave will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible, thank you for the emperor's life-saving grace. The emperor didn't have any orders, so the servants retreated first. "

Ouyang Qian took the sheet back to the miscellaneous room, and it was the sheet that Chu Yan helped him clean and dry in the yard. In order to take care of him, Chu Yan asked him to live in his room.

Chu Yan helped him finish the medicine, changed into a new middle coat, and saw that he was reading a small note, so he leaned over curiously: "What is this?"

Ouyang Qian glanced at him and laughed self-deprecatingly: "Foreign debts owed." "

Chu Yan saw that it was written that Ouyang Qian owed the emperor three hundred and twenty-six taels of medical fees and medicine fees, and couldn't help but re-examine the medicine bags that Ouyang Qian had brought back, and said in shock: "These medicines cost more than three hundred taels?"

Ouyang Qian nodded, and Chu Yan smacked his tongue and said, "How can you pay this back?" The salary of the miscellaneous room for a year is only less than two taels of silver, and you can't pay it off for the rest of your life, right?"

"I'll figure it out. Ouyang Qian said sullenly.

"Doesn't this hurt my forehead, why is it so expensive......" Chu Yan was shocked by this sky-high price of medicinal materials and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he walked away, he still had words in his mouth.

Ouyang Qian put his head under the pillow, irritable, yes, more than three hundred taels of silver, how can I pay it back...... If you had known, you wouldn't have given me medicine, and it wouldn't have died anyway, so wouldn't it be nice to let it scar on its own......
