Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 130: Thread Lift

Shen Yining was pulled back and saw Song Xiaoyuan being taken away violently. He asked anxiously, "Where are they taking him?"

"You behaved very well just now, but stay away from him from now on!"

"Where are they taking Xiao Yuan?"

After entering the camp, Alian Yisong raised Shen Yining's cheek and said, "Go to where the prisoners should go. He is a lowly slave here. If you call him Xiao Yuan again, I will make him live a life worse than death!"

Shen Yining turned her face away: "I have said everything I need to say, where is the antidote!"

"It's not enough. I will give you the antidote when I am satisfied!"

"You....despicable"

"Oh? Someone come!"

The Qiang soldiers followed the order and entered the camp to salute: "My Lord."

A Lianyi looked at Shen Yining coldly and said, "Go, take the slave we just took away to the wind outlet. He must be in great pain at this moment because of the poison."

"Yes!" The Qiang soldier took the order and turned to leave the camp.

Shen Yining knew the pain of the poison. Song Xiaoyuan must be in great pain as his heart was already in pain. He hurriedly pulled Alianyi's sleeve and begged, "I was wrong. Don't do this to him! I was wrong. I can let him go to the wind outlet instead!"

The more she did this for Song Xiaoyuan, the more angry A Lianyi became. She grabbed Shen Yining's neck and said, "Don't beg me for him anymore. If you continue like this, he should die right now!"

Shen Yining suffocated and slapped his hands, then opened his eyes and looked at the crazy man in front of him. Allen Yi loosened his hands and waved his sleeves to leave, and Shen Yining fell down, coughing and gasping.

Seeing that he was about to leave the camp, a servant hurriedly crawled over and grabbed the corner of Alianyi's robe: "Don't let him go to the wind vent, it will hurt a lot when the poison takes effect... It hurts a lot..." Shen Yining grabbed him tightly and begged him.

"Shen Yining, what else can you do besides crying and begging me?" A Lianyi took the corner of her clothes and walked out without looking back.

Shen Yining sat on the ground, muttering to himself, "Yeah... I don't know anything. We grew up together, don't you know?"

The Shen family had only this one daughter, who was pampered and loved since childhood. When she was young, she was free to run around in the fields. When she grew up, she moved to the capital and was raised to be a young lady in the capital by playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, managing the household affairs, and being virtuous. Shen Yining was just a girl like thousands of other girls in the capital. All the things she had learned were completely useless at this moment.

"What else can I do except cry and beg you, abandoning my dignity!"

Shen Yining wiped her tears, got up, lifted the curtain and went out in a daze, walked to Alianyi's rest tent and knelt down.

The Qiang soldiers came forward to report. Alianyi took off his clothes without looking up: "Kneel? If she wants to kneel, let her kneel..."

After saying this, Shen Yining knelt outside the tent and said, "My Lord, you knew that he would not survive the night! The antidote was a lie, but you wanted his life, right?"

"I didn't lie to you about the antidote, but I want him to die right now! Especially because of your disobedience!" A Lianyi walked out of the camp and looked down at Shen Yining, who was kneeling on the ground and no longer crying.

"Get up! I'm even more annoyed by you like this!"

Shen Yining stopped talking and got up obediently. Alianyi looked at her and said, "Look up, look at me."

Shen Yining looked up obediently, staring at A Lianyi's cold eyes with her red eyes from crying.

"Do you like me?"

"Yes, I, Shen Yining, only like you, Alianyi."

"Very good! Go, take that slave back to his original tent and take good care of him."

"Yes." The Qiang soldier immediately ran to the wind vent.

Alianyi raised her hand, and the maid stepped forward to serve Shen Yining. Alianyi bent down to tidy up her messy hair: "If you had been so obedient earlier, he wouldn't have suffered this. Shen Yining, he is plotting to take you away. By then... do you want him to go back healthy, or do you want to go back with him half dead? It all depends on your decision!"

She wanted him to return safely and in good health. Shen Yining looked at A Lianyi obediently without saying a word or shedding tears. The lady helped her back to the rest camp.

The people near the desert city were living in poverty, and the Loulan people were all slaves, working day and night to renovate the Loulan Palace regardless of the severe cold. Anyone who did not want to be a slave was whipped to death in public. After being oppressed for a long time, everyone went on strike and waited for death, and the whip ropes were broken one by one.

Song Xiaoyuan came here to delegate power to the builders and managers, so that everyone can live with dignity. Since they have invaded Loulan, they cannot completely destroy the Loulan people, so they have to integrate into them faster and tell the Loulan people that the Qiang State can also protect them.

This was not a trick, but a way of practicing benevolence and filial piety. Qiang officials and soldiers were stationed to replace the original Loulan officials and soldiers. Loulan had to resume normal work and trade as usual. Alianyi was dissatisfied with this, and Pombal also broke Song Xiaoyuan's identity. This was broken, and the people of Loulan became slaves and lived in misery...

The laundry slave saw the young man in white was unconscious and was taken back to the tent by the Qiang soldiers. The laundry slaves could not help but make a lot less noise. Song Xiaoyuan had never complained about the laundry noise since she came here, unlike the Qiang soldiers living nearby who always insulted the female slaves. She was always gentle and modified the rules for the female slaves to have rest time.

A Qiang soldier came out and waved to a laundry servant to take care of the child. The laundry servant was old and had a hard time washing clothes day and night, but he was grateful to Song Xiaoyuan and took care of the child diligently all night. In the middle of the night, he had a fever and his whole body was burning, but he still found some white wine in the laundry room to wipe the child's body.

The laundry slave was also a mother. When she unbuttoned Song Xiaoyuan's shirt, she was frightened by the hideous scar: "Whose boy is this? I wonder if his parents will be heartbroken when they see this..." She avoided the wound and rubbed white wine to dissipate the heat. Song Xiaoyuan felt warm and no longer had the poison, but he still had a fever. He frowned and closed his eyes, and did not wake up the next day.

The next morning, Shen Yining did not say a word during breakfast with Alian Ibu. She waited on him, took care of him, and did the only thing she had learned besides crying and begging, which was to be obedient.

"Are you willing?" Aliyi looked at her expressionless and silent.

"Yes."

"Can't you laugh?"

Shen Yining immediately smiled gently, took the lady's handkerchief and wiped Alianyi's hands.

A Lian Yi was satisfied: "Come on, I'll take you to see whether that slave is alive or dead." He pulled Shen Yining's hand and clasped their index fingers together.

Song Xiaoyuan's tent was at the very edge. The two of them walked through the layers of messy Qiang soldiers' camps and training grounds. The closer they got, the louder and louder they got. When they arrived at the door of the tent, the laundry slaves looked up unconsciously when they saw the people coming. The tall and majestic man wore a black and gold robe and a golden crown to tie his hair, and the woman wore a white and gold robe and a fur coat, and was beautiful and charming. It was obvious at a glance that the two were of noble status. No one dared to look at them and lowered their heads for fear of being whipped.

When they entered the camp, Song Xiaoyuan was still unconscious on the bed. The laundry slave bent down and lowered his head and stepped aside. A Lianyi lowered his eyes to look at Shen Yining's expression. She was still smiling gently without any other emotion.

Alianyi asked the laundry slave: "Is he dead or alive?"

The laundry slave was hesitant because she didn't know what to call her. The Qiang soldier whipped her and scolded her, "The master is asking a question, and you are hesitating. Are you looking for death?"

The laundry slave withdrew his hands in pain and shuddered, "My Lord, he had a high fever last night, but now he is resting after the fever has subsided. He is not dead."

"Go, wake him up. If he doesn't wake up, we will beat you to death!" The Qiang soldier raised his whip to intimidate the female slave.

The slave girl was afraid and walked to the bedside. She called out and shook Song Xiaoyuan but there was no response. The slave girl helplessly looked at the Qiang soldier with the whip. As expected, she was whipped several times. The slave girl cried and groaned in pain and begged: "I can't wake him up, please don't hit me..."

The Qiang soldier handed the whip to the slave girl, signaling her to come...
