Chapter 244
Jian Xi twirled the wrench in his hand, his gaze slid over the group of children one by one, his lips pursed slightly, and his eyes lowered.
Huohuo, who was leaning on her arms, watched the children in the cell curiously, jumped out of her arms, and slowly approached the cell.
"Mother, I beg you, servant girl! Save these children!" Yan Zhi knelt on the ground, her voice choked up, she pulled Jian Xi's palace group, and kowtowed heavily, begging unceasingly.
She knew that her request was too much, Jian Xi had no reason to save these children, and there was no need to risk offending the emperor to do such a thing.
But she really can't stand it anymore, these are living lives!
Isn't it said that the emperors of the world should love their people?
Why is the emperor so cruel, burying the lives of these children for the sake of non-existent elixir? !
They are still so young, so small, and they don't even know what the world is like, so they are treated like this.
The little girl leaning on the boy's arms blinked, gently tugged on the boy's clothes, raised her head, and asked him in a low voice: "Brother, that little fox is so cute, can I hug it?"
Huo Huo looked back at Jian Xi, seeing that she didn't object, she got in through the gap in the railing, stood in front of this group of numb children, and looked at them curiously.
The boy covered her mouth, shook his head at her, motioned her not to speak, then shrank back into the corner holding her.
"That child." Jian Xi raised his chin lightly, with an indifferent expression: "Bring them out."
"Mother!" Rouge raised her head in horror, looked at Jian Xi, afraid that she would do something to hurt the two children: "They are just children!"
Jian Xi glanced at her lightly, Rouge bit her lips tightly, closed her mouth, and clenched the hem of the skirt that was spread on the floor.
The chief guard lowered his head, thinking of the rumors about Jian Xi in the palace, his footsteps were a bit heavy, he opened the cell door, and strode in.
This empress is not an easy character to get along with. It is rumored that she is pampered and domineering, and she has super cholera.
Who knows what kind of things a person like her will do?
He shouldn't have brought them to see these children.
"My lord, please! Let us go! Let us go! We won't dare anymore, and we won't look around again." The boy hugged his sister, kowtowed and begged for mercy, his head hit the ground, There was a muffled bang.
The head guard stood in front of the two children, clasped his hands tightly, and really couldn't bear to pull them.
Jian Xi grew impatient, walked into the cell, stood beside the chief guard, and said in a cold voice, "Raise your head."
The head guard subconsciously took a step forward and stood in front of the two children.
Jian Xi glanced at him impatiently, his expression was cold, the head guard froze, thinking of the elderly mother who had no one to serve him at home, his wife and full-term child who were looking forward to his return every day, his movements became sluggish .
He lowered his head, held his saber, and stepped aside.
"Mother, please let us go, we really don't dare anymore." The boy kowtowed unceasingly, the wound that had just scabbed on his head burst open again, blood stained the ground, his voice choked up.
"Bengong said, raise your head." Jian Xi's voice became colder. She squatted down and held the boy's shoulders. His shoulders were thinner than she imagined, and they were not at all like what a child of this age should be. Some body.
The boy stiffened, took a deep breath, and raised his head.
"Tsk." Jian Xi tutted softly, seeing his face covered with snot and tears, pulled up his sleeve and wiped it for him: "It's so ugly."
Her sudden movement frightened the boy to tremble, and unconsciously raised his neck back, avoiding Jian Xi's hand.
Jian Xi didn't finish wiping it completely, she looked down at the stains on the sleeves, slightly retracted her hands, and kept the boy at eye level. This angle allowed her to see the wounds on the boy's face and the torn clothes more clearly. A series of welts.
His eyes were black, his cheeks were sunken, and he looked as thin as a little monkey. There was an obvious palm print on his pale face.
There were marks of white fluid drying up on his body.
Compared with him, the little girl who was protected by him only suffered slight scratches, and she seemed to be well protected by him.
She hid in the boy's arms, tightly pulling his clothes, because of malnutrition, she looked thinner and thinner, her eyes were big, with a curious light in them, hiding yearning and fear for this world.
Jian Xi paused and looked around. The children around them had wounds and bruises all over their bodies. It didn't look much better than this little boy.
Even worse.
The girl hiding in the innermost part is a little older. She has no hair on her body, and her young body is covered with scars. She is protected in the innermost part by these children. She looks at Jian Xi fearfully, her eyes are empty and without light.
Jian Xi was a little unhappy.
She put down her hand, gently pressed the wound on the corner of the boy's eye with her fingertips, and asked him in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." The boy let go of his guard a little bit, shook his head, and lied subconsciously, fearing that after he said it hurt, he would face even more inhuman torture.
Jian Xi took out a small box of ointment from the space, ignored the system's obstruction, put it in the boy's hand, and pointed to the corner of his eye: "Wipe it on."
The boy stiffly took the ointment from Jian Xi, took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, opened it and dabbed it on his face indiscriminately, he thought it was poison, but after rubbing it on his face, it brought a cool feeling, eased the pain in his face.
His eyes lit up all of a sudden, he raised his head, looked at Jian Xi in disbelief, and trembling his lips: "You..."
"Do you want to hug it?" Jian Xi rubbed the little girl's head, and pointed to Huo Huo who was curled up behind her with only her head sticking out.
The little girl looked at the fiery fire, looked up at her brother, and nodded heavily after seeing him nodding. She blinked her big eyes and said softly, "Yes! I want to hug you too, sister So beautiful, like a fairy!"
Jian Xi laughed softly, her face softened a little, she lifted Huo Huo's neck, placed it in front of the girl, and patiently guided her step by step to hug it.
Seeing the bright smile on the girl's face, the corners of Jian Xi's mouth slightly curled up. She stood up, looked at the children in the circle, and said in a firm tone, no longer as loose as before, "I will take you away."
"Huohuo, protect them." Jian Xi rubbed the boy's head, turned around and walked towards the cell door, the smile on her face cooled down, she pursed her lips slightly, her expression was extremely cold.
Really angry.
This brainless dog emperor.
Rouge knelt on the ground, lowered her head in shame, and didn't dare to look at Jian Xi. She felt sorry for her random guessing and distrust. She thought she knew Jian Xi well enough, but now she realized that she didn't know Jian Xi at all. Don't know her.
She was just like those who programmed her, blindly believed the rumors, and put her in the position of the villain.
