The cute little milk bag, the group's pet, actually farms in the palace

But Xiao Yihan restrained himself and did not say these words to scare Xia Qingqing. He lowered his head and suppressed the bloodthirsty thoughts in his heart.

He raised his head and returned to his previous gentle demeanor, "Then give them thirty lashes of the cane."

Xia Qingqing smiled and nodded, "Well, let's do it!"

The children were stunned when they heard this. Thirty lashes of the cane was worse than taking their lives.

A normal adult man couldn't even bear being beaten with thirty sticks, let alone a child.

They were quickly taken away by patrolling soldiers, and soon after, a series of miserable cries were heard.

A cold look flashed across Xiao Yihan's eyes, and Xia Qingqing asked.

"Brother Xiao, why are you here?"

Xiao Yihan pursed his lips and said nothing. Xia Qingqing couldn't read Xiao Yihan's thoughts and felt very depressed. If only she knew what he was thinking, she wouldn't have to guess like this.

But she guessed that this might be because she was bullied and was too embarrassed to tell others and wanted to save face, so she didn't ask.

"Brother Xiao, why didn't you fight back when they hit you?"

Xia Qingqing really didn't understand this point. Every time she was beaten, she didn't fight back and just let others beat her. Wouldn't that make them become more aggressive?

Xiao Yihan was silent for a while and said.

"It's useless. If you resist, you'll only get beaten more severely."

Xia Qingqing was stunned. This seemed to be his survival rule. If he didn't want to be beaten, he would just endure it until they were tired of beating him.

She felt a little sad. Was this the only way she had been able to survive in the palace for all these years?

When we first met, I was also beaten by a group of people, but I didn't fight back, and it was the same this time.

With his head lowered, tears as big as beans flowed down and hit the ground with a "pa pa" sound.

Xiao Yihan's heart trembled. He squatted down and looked Xia Qingqing in the eye. He could see her expression clearly. Her eyes were very red, like a little rabbit with red eyes, and her mouth was sunken, as if she was wronged.

She was crying, why? Because of him?

Xiao Yihan raised his shaking hands and wiped away the tears from her eyes, "Don't cry, why are you crying?"

The tone was harsh, but the expression was soft as could be.

Xia Qingqing was originally crying silently, but when she heard Xiao Yihan's words, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Wuwuwuwu, Brother Xiao is always bullied. Nannan feels distressed. Nannan doesn't want Brother Xiao to get hurt. She doesn't want Brother Xiao to be bullied. Wuwuwuwu."

Xiao Yihan's expression paused, and his heart seemed to be like fireworks exploding, he was very happy.

"Brother Xiao, isn't he well protected by Nannan?"

Xia Qingqing pointed at the corner of Xiao Yihan's mouth and sobbed, "Here, it's hurt."

Following her gaze, Xiao Yihan touched the corner of her mouth. As soon as he touched it, he felt a sharp pain and took a breath.

Xia Qingqing suddenly panicked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"

Xiao Yihan straightened his eyes and shook his head, "It doesn't hurt too much, don't worry, Nannan."

Xia Qingqing still frowned tightly. Xiao Yihan really didn't feel much pain at this moment. Even though his body was hurting, his heart was warm.

This was the first time that someone cared about him, someone paid attention to him, making him feel that he was a real person, not a rat trying to survive in the gutter.

Xia Qingqing was really worried, so she took Xiao Yihan's hand and walked into her yard.

"No, I still have to check you out and apply the medicine on you."

He took out the prepared medicine box and said proudly.

"Brother Xiao, Nannan has learned medical skills now!"

Xiao Yihan knew about this matter. He was shocked for a moment when he heard it, but when he saw her so proud, he cooperated.

"Really? When did Nannan learn this? Brother Xiao doesn't even know."

Xiao Yihan's superb acting skills successfully fooled Xia Qingqing and made her laugh.

After Xiao Yihan's wound was treated, a servant came in to report.

"Princess, the emperor wants you to come over."

Xia Qingqing basically knew what was going on. She nodded and reminded Xiao Yihan.

"Brother Xiao, just rest here. I'll be back soon."
