Tongxi spent a lot of effort to rescue the eunuch from the well.
Perhaps he had just felt the terror of death in the well. After being rescued, the eunuch's face was pale, his eyes full of horror, and his whole body was trembling.
Tongxi was so angry that he wanted to beat the eunuch. If it weren't for his skill, the eunuch would have drowned in the well.
"His Highness and I finally rescued you, but you sought death again. Your life belongs to His Highness. His Highness did not allow you to die, so how dare you die."
The eunuch suddenly said "wow" and cried loudly, which shocked Zhao Yao and Tong Xi.
Tongxi hurriedly reached out and covered the eunuch's mouth. The eunuch grabbed his arm hard and cried muffledly.
Zhao Yao stood aside and said nothing.
After a while, the eunuch finally calmed down and stopped crying, but his eyes were red from crying. His face was full of tears, like a poor little rabbit that had been abandoned.
When Tongxi saw that he was no longer crying, he let go.
"Say it."
The eunuch raised his head and looked at Zhao Yao with tearful eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't speak.
Seeing the eunuch's confused look, Zhao Yao did not force him.
"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it."
When the eunuch heard this, his eyes suddenly opened very wide.
"I don't want to know the secret of Third Brother." Zhao Yao saved the eunuch in front of him not because he wanted to know the secret about the Third Prince.
"Your Highness Tenth..."
"I have saved you twice. If you still want to die, I will not save you again." Zhao Yao does not intend to save people who just want to die again and again. "Tongxi, let's go."
Tongxi looked at the wet eunuch kneeling on the ground, "Your Highness, do you really not care about him?"
"He doesn't want to live. No matter how many times we save him, it will be useless." Zhao Yao glanced at Tongxi, who was soaked all over. "If you don't go back and change clothes, you will get frostbite."
"Your Highness, I'm not cold..." Before Tongxi could finish his words, a gust of wind blew, causing him to shiver.
"Go back." Zhao Yao still had beef in his arms, ready to go back and give it to Liang Zhaoyi and the others.
Tongxi glanced at the eunuch again and saw that he was still biting his lip and not speaking, so he didn't bother to talk to him anymore.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Just when Zhao Yao and the others were turning around to leave, the eunuch suddenly called out: "Your Highness."
Zhao Yao turned around and looked at the eunuch without speaking.
The eunuch kowtowed three times to Zhao Yao, and then said: "Your Highness, I don't want to die." After jumping into the well, when the well water submerged him, he deeply felt the pain and panic of suffocation. "Your Highness, this slave wants to live."
When Tong Xi heard what he said, his face lit up with joy: "That's right."
Zhao Yao said, "It's not in vain for us to save you." He added, "Since you want to live, then live well."
"Your Highness, this servant's name is Hua Qing. She used to serve the fifth prince. Later, the third prince saw that I was good at painting, so he asked me to come over. However, I found that this was not the case."
"Third brother doesn't want you because you are good at painting." Zhao Yao said, "Is it because of something else?"
Hua Qing suppressed his fear and said, "The third prince likes to whip us for fun..." Thinking of the pain of being whipped during this period, Hua Qing's body began to tremble violently.
Tongxi understood. There was an angry look on his face: "His Highness the Third... takes pleasure in abusing you!"
After hearing this, Zhao Yao had an expression of disbelief on his face.
"When the Third Prince whipped us, if we didn't scream, the Third Prince would whip us harder." Hua Qing felt that the days with the Third Prince were like hell. "If we screamed, the Third Prince would become very happy and whip him harder." Li."
Zhao Yao: "..."
"Did you escape from His Highness the Third Prince?" Tongxi asked.
"This slave sneaked out while no one was paying attention." Hua Qing said, and kowtowed three times to Zhao Yao, "Your Highness, Tenth Highness, please save this slave. If this slave returns to the Third Highness again, he will definitely Beaten to death."
Zhao Yao finally recovered from the huge shock. He asked in disbelief: "Third brother, does he really enjoy torturing people?"
"I dare not lie to you."
"I really didn't expect..." The third brother usually looks like a humble young man, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a sadist.
"Your Highness, please save this slave." Hua Qing begged, "I will make you a cow and a horse." He never wanted to return to the third prince.
"Your Highness, you are a good man and do your best to save him." After hearing what happened to Hua Qing, Tong Xi felt even more pitiful for him.
Zhao Yao pinched his chin and frowned slightly in thought.
"It's not easy to save you from Third Brother, especially since you know Third Brother's dirty secret."
"Your Highness..."
"Your situation is a bit difficult." Zhao Yao analyzed, "If I ask for you from the third brother, the third brother will definitely not agree." The third brother has always disliked him. If he asks for something from the third brother, the third brother will definitely not be willing to give it. If the fifth or sixth brother wants it, the third brother will be willing to give it.
Hua Qing heard what Zhao Yao said and mistakenly thought that Zhao Yao was unwilling to save him, so he hurriedly said: "Your Highness, I will definitely be loyal to you. Please save me." Hua Qing, who had died once just now, did not want to die again.
Zhao Yao crossed his arms to his chest and tapped his left upper arm lightly with the index finger of his left hand.
"You really can't go back now. If you go back to Third Brother, you will be beaten to death sooner or later."
Hua Qing begged again: "Your Highness, I beg you to take me in. I can do anything."
"There is a place that Third Brother will not find."
Tong Xi immediately realized what place Zhao Yao was talking about and blurted out: "Leng Palace."
"That's right, no one goes to the Cold Palace. The third brother would not think that you would hide in the Cold Palace." Zhao Yao said, "You go to the Cold Palace to hide."
"I am willing to go to the cold palace." As long as he can survive, he is willing to go anywhere.
"Tongxi, take him to the cold palace now and let Tongle take care of him." After Zhao Yao finished speaking, he winked at Tongxi.
Tong Xi understood what Zhao Yao meant: "I will take him to the cold palace now."
Seeing that he was saved, Hua Qing kowtowed to Zhao Yao several times again, until his forehead bled.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."
"Who gave you the name Hua Qing, the fifth brother or the third brother?"
"The Third Highness took it from him."
"I don't like this name. You have to stay with me from now on."
Tong'an hurriedly kowtowed and thanked: "Tong'an thanks His Highness the Third Highness for the name."
Zhao Yao didn't say anything to Tong An, but turned to look at Tong Xi: "Take him to the cold palace."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Tongxi talked a lot with Tongan on the way to Leng Palace with Tongan. Among them, if Tongan betrayed Zhao Yao, he would make Tongan's life worse than death.
