General's humble stand-in

The rain stops, the sun rises and sets.

Leaning against the wet and cold wall, Tao Zhuo closed his eyes tightly.His face was as pale as a paper man in a coffin, and only the slowly rising and falling chest proved that he was still alive.

Suddenly, a steamed bun was thrown in from the small window, and it rolled to Tao Zhuo's legs covered in dust.

Tao Zhuo opened his eyes, the eyes that were once shining like stars seemed to be covered with dust, dimmed.

"Tao Zhuo." Gu Ansheng's voice came in lowly from outside the door, "Is there no one to bring you food these two days? You should put your stomach first. Something happened to Cheng's mansion, and General Cheng was imprisoned. Our young master is busy with this matter. Don't worry, young master will not leave you alone."

Unexpectedly, the person who is willing to lend a helping hand at this time is the jealous Gu Ansheng who occasionally looks down on him.

Tao Zhuo didn't respond, his slender eyelashes fluttered like the remaining wings of an insect, the water mist covered his eyes, and the steamed buns on the ground blurred his shadow.

"Tao Zhuo, Tao Zhuo." Before hearing the voice, Gu Ansheng outside the door was a little anxious, "Did you hear me?"

"Yeah." Tao Zhuo reluctantly opened his mouth, and replied in a hoarse voice, "I heard it."

"Then I'll go first, you eat the steamed buns."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and finally returned to silence.The silence is frightening, like the countless lonely nights in which one person was wandering, and the other was watching the moonlight and looking forward to the dawn.

If, never met, never accompanied, then the loneliness is actually not so difficult.

Tao Zhuo bit the back of his hand tightly, suppressing the sound of crying, only the dripping tears mixed with the blood from the bite.

After crying, he picked up the steamed buns on the ground.He's not greedy, he's just too panicked at what it's like to be hungry, he just wants to live.

At noon on the third day, the door of the firewood room was pushed open with a "squeak", and the dazzling sunlight flooded in instantly. Unable to bear the sudden strong light, Tao Zhuo turned his head and raised his hand to half cover his eyes.

Two house slaves carried the imperial concubine couch with openwork Luan patterns and gently placed it at the door.

Princess Pingnan supported her waist with one hand and folded the other on her swollen abdomen. The bright red peony dress looked delicate and charming, and she was full of smiles against her face.The hair accessories are exquisite and cumbersome, and there is a crisp sound of jewels colliding with each step.

Sitting on the imperial concubine chair, the princess tilted her head to look at Tao Zhuo, and suddenly covered her lips with a deep smile.

"You haven't starved to death." The princess sneered, then turned to Caizhu and said, "Go get a bronze mirror."

"Yes." Caizhu responded, turned around and left the firewood room.

The princess lowered her head and straightened her sleeves, and said quietly, "During the two years when Gu Yan went to war, I couldn't sleep all night, because I was afraid that he would have a confidante or something outside. I remember when you first came, I still I asked you. At that time you told me no, I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep.”

With a sneer on her bright red lips, the princess looked at Tao Zhuo resentfully, "I'm so confused, why didn't I think about why Gu Yan brought you back to the general's mansion alone with 10,000+ people in the military camp."

Tao Zhuo lowered his eyes, listening to the princess' anger.

There are 10,000+ military camps, but I am the only one who entered the general's mansion.The origin of Mo Zizhi, the fate of Mo Zizhi.Is it lucky to meet the general?Still unlucky?In the end, I am the same as the princess, and it's just not in his heart.

At this moment, Caizhu came in holding a copper mirror.The princess pointed to Tao Zhuo, "Take it, show him what he looks like now."

Caizhu fiercely grabbed Tao Zhuo's hair with one hand and pulled it down forcefully, forcing him to look up and face himself in the mirror.

The face in the mirror came into view, and Tao Zhuo's expression froze.

A little more than haggard, dispirited and lifeless, like a dying person.It was as if the fallen flowers withered in that autumn day, draining all energy and spirit.

"Tell me, will Gu Chan still like you when she sees your inhuman appearance?"

Saying that, Princess Pingnan covered her lips, showing an extremely exaggerated expression, "Ah! I forgot, he didn't like you in the first place. He likes Mo Zizhi, and you will only let Gu Yan Felt sick."

The princess is very smart, she knows which scar on Tao Zhuo's body hurts the most.

The originally ashen and gloomy eyes moved slightly, and a strangeness flashed in Tao Zhuo's eyes.

"That day, the princess said I was a poor guy, but he did everything possible to frame me. Speaking of which, princess, you are worse than a poor guy. It is because I look like Mo Ziji that I am loved by the general. The princess also wants to grow up to look like Mo Zizhi? Unfortunately, you can only think about it."

In the end, the reverse scales on his body were uncovered, and the pain of the abyss and hell made Taozhuo unable to see a little bit of light.At this moment, it has nothing to do with death, but I just want the Princess to taste how painful it is to be pierced by a soft knife in my heart.

As Tao Zhuo wished, Princess Pingnan's charming facial features were completely distorted by anger.

She was trembling with anger, pointing at Tao Zhuo, "Hit, hit me, hit him until he dies."

Knowing that no one is protecting Tao Zhuo anymore, Cai Zhu remembers the revenge of the last time she punished Tao Zhuo, she slashed at Tao Zhuo left and right, her hands were as ruthless as a snake and a scorpion.

Perhaps the wound in his heart was too painful, but it seemed that the slap on his face was insignificant.

After a long time, the palms of Caizhu's beating felt sore.She paused for a moment and rubbed her hands.

Tao Zhuo's lips were stained with blood, he raised his eyes to look at Princess Pingnan who was full of ferocious eyes, and raised a provocative smile.

"You..." I am used to seeing Tao Zhuo's weakness and deceit, and the princess will be furious if she resists, "You still laugh, don't you? Do you want to die? Come, hang this lowly slave in the yard , whipped every day, I can see that he is still smiling. Do you want to die? I still let you live and suffer all kinds of torture."

The mouth of the green bamboo snake, the needle behind the tail of the wasp...

The sun in April is not too harsh, only slightly scorching in the afternoon.However, the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, and it is easy to catch wind and cold when it is cold and hot.

Tao Zhuo was bound by both wrists and hung in a remote small backyard, with his toes slightly touching the ground.The breeze blew his messy hair and brushed his red and swollen cheeks.The clothes torn from the whip fluttered like rags in the wind, revealing dark red bloodstains.

When you close your eyes, it looks like a dead body, swaying in the wind.

There was another sound of footsteps, and Taozhuo's ears twitched slightly but he did not open his eyes.Those who came in the past two days were either house slaves raising their whips, or colorful beads clapping their mouths, or high-ranking princesses.

Of course, general...

Tao Zhuo no longer thinks about it.

"Wow" a bucket of salt water was splashed down on the head, and the wound on the body instantly burst into a ferocious blood red, like ten thousand insects biting.Taozhuo arched his back convulsively,

Subconsciously want to shrink into a ball.However, with his hands tied and hung, he could only endure the bone erosion, and was in so much pain.

There is a crisp sound of pearls and jade colliding, and a strong fragrance of rouge.

The pointed armor suddenly plunged into Tao Zhuo's wound, and blood gushed out instantly, staining his slender fingers.Unable to bear the pain, Tao Zhuo suddenly opened his eyes, and Princess Pingnan's proud and arrogant face broke in.

"How come I haven't heard that you are stiff in the past two days?"

The princess lifted up the blood-dripping armor and ran over Taozhuo's gray and chapped lips.That touch of red is dazzling.

"just kill me."

— Opened his mouth, his throat seemed to be scraped by a blade.Pain made a sound like a broken bellows, rough and hoarse.

Tao Zhuo didn't suffer from the bumps and wanderings, but he still grew like a weed.He is afraid of death, but now all his tenacity is eroded by this torture that is worse than death, and he only wants to die.

"Want to die?" Princess Pingnan chuckled, "How can it be that easy? Now I am the knife and you are the fish, and your life and death are in my hands. I can't help you. However, if you beg me, I can also consider letting you die." You suffer less."

The playfulness in the Princess' tone was obvious.

"I beg you." Tao Zhuo stared at the princess and said word by word, "Please let the general come over to see me, it's not in vain that I slept with him in the same bed."

Tao Zhuo smiled, the blood red on her lips set off her pale cheeks even more glaringly.

Really pinching the princess's sore spot, the hands under the sleeves were slightly clasped, and the armor left an arc-shaped blood mark on the palm.

"Slut." The princess gritted her teeth, "I want to see how long you can keep your mouth so hard."

With one hand, he snatched the ivy whip from the servant's hand, and lashed towards Tao Zhuo fiercely.The tail of the whip slid across the tip of the ear, leaving a long trail of blood extending to the half-exposed collarbone.Especially after beating more than a dozen whips and still not relieved, the princess pulled out the golden hairpin from the official's hair. It shone brightly in the sun, and the tip of the hairpin was chilly. "You look like Mo Ziji?" The princess raised her lips.

The vicious smile made Tao Zhuo shudder, his apricot eyes stared nervously at the tip of the hairpin, condensed into panic and fear.

Seeing the golden hairpin stabbing towards him, Tao Zhuo was so frightened that he suddenly closed his eyes.

However, the pain did not subside, but I heard an "ouch" in my ear.

Tao Zhuo slowly opened his eyes, only to see Gu Ansheng covering the back of his bleeding hand, smiling with the princess.

"You bastard." The princess raised her hand and slapped Gu Ansheng across the face.

Gu Ansheng hurriedly knelt down, "Young Madam calm down, Young Madam calm down. The slave is ordered by the general, please ask the princess to go to Tingfeng Lou."

Princess Pingnan was startled, "What's the matter?"

"The slave doesn't know."

The princess lowered her head and pushed the golden hairpin into her hair again, gave Tao Zhuo a hard look before turning and leaving.

Gu Ansheng didn't stand up until the figure disappeared.He put the back of his bleeding hand to his lips and blew lightly a few times.

"You shouldn't..." Tao Zhuo choked up and couldn't speak, only tears clouded his vision.

Gu Ansheng looked at Tao Zhuo's appearance at this moment, and sighed helplessly.

"You and I have lived in the same room for a long time, and you often share food with me. I should help you. But I am only a servant in the mansion, so I dare not contradict the young lady. And I have helped you this time, and I will help you." I can't save you next time."

After a pause, he continued, "Young master is in a state of desperation because of General Cheng's affairs. No, the princess is invited to come over, it seems that she wants to have a good word in front of the eldest princess."

"General Cheng, what happened to him?" Tao Zhuo asked.

"Whispering against the eldest princess wantonly caused the whole family to be imprisoned."

Tao Zhuo hurriedly asked, "Will he be beheaded?"

Gu Ansheng shook his head, "How would I know?"

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the welt marks on Taozhuo's body, "You should worry about yourself, our young master may not be able to take care of you. Princess Pingnan is arrogant, the more you obey her, the less you will suffer. crime."

Tao Zhuo was silent.

Even if our son is free, I'm afraid he won't care about my life anymore.He decided that I was jealous, something that destroyed Mo Zizhi.

I'm afraid, every time I think of me, only nausea remains.
