next morning

Yan Sheng opened his eyes slightly, and what came into view was Leng Ruoyun's delicate profile.

Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, with tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes, her red lips were slightly upturned, her facial features were delicate and soft, she was peaceful and beautiful.

The two of them were very close, their black hair entangled together, and if he moved a little forward he could kiss Leng Ruoyun's red lips.

Last night, she recounted the events of the past in a cold and tearful voice. She looked fragile and helpless, which made people feel pity for her.

After she comforted her with a few words, Leng Ruoyun hugged her and cried, and fell asleep while crying.

And no one knew when the mask on her face disappeared.

Forget it, the mask is not very important. Cuiwei Mountain is located in a remote area. Except for Leng Ruoyun, no one has seen what the empress looks like.

Yan Sheng quietly got up and walked out of the house. The early morning sunlight shone on the pear blossoms in the yard, making them look particularly delicate.

The village was very big. Yan Sheng looked around and saw that almost all the people in the village were women. There were also some men who were handcuffed and doing hard labor with scars all over their bodies.

According to Leng Ruoyun, these men are basically the male favorites of the hall master.

If someone disobeys normally, he will be beaten all over at best, or used to test poison or even killed at worst.

Some were arranged to do hard labor because the hall master got tired of the old and fell in love with the new.

At this time, the sound of whipping and a man's screams came from the house next door.

Yan Sheng's eyes moved slightly and he looked inside through the window.

I saw a man with a sharp face, seductive and charming, slightly curly hair, and an extremely exotic appearance.

He was naked from the waist up, half-kneeling on the ground, his hands and feet were bloody from being rubbed by the chains, and except for his face, his entire body was covered in wounds, which was a shocking sight.

Ji Pei and several other men were locked in an iron cage like dogs.

There were various torture instruments in the room, and his own Light Frost Sword that could cut through iron like mud was hung on the wall.

"Yu Shujin, do you still want to kill me? If it weren't for your face, I would have made you into a medicine man. You better watch me. If anyone dares to be reckless again, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death."

There was a shallow mark on the hall master's neck. He swung the whip fiercely, hitting Yu Shujin on the body, and said with a distorted face.

Last night, when she was about to favor a new man, the usually aloof and unyielding Yu Shujin abnormally said she wanted to serve her.

Faced with the handsome man's active flattery, the hall master naturally would not refuse.

As a result, Yu Shujin used the iron chain in his hand to strangle her neck under the pretext of changing her clothes.

Fortunately, she was careful, and because Yu Shujin was injured and moved slowly, the hall master was able to subdue Yu Shujin in time.

"Oh, you'd better kill me. Otherwise, if I get the chance again, I will kill you, a crazy woman, and I will never stop until you die..."

A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Yu Shujin's mouth. He looked at the hall master with murderous eyes and said coldly.

"You are looking for death, Yu Shujin, you are better off being a mute. Someone, bring the voice-losing medicine over here."

Hearing Yu Shujin calling her a crazy woman, the hall master flew into a rage and said to his men.

"Yes." The subordinate immediately went to get it, his eyes full of anticipation.

There was no trace of fear on Yu Shujin's face. She raised her eyes slightly, revealing an indescribable sense of emptiness, and accidentally met a pair of cold eyes outside the window.

Their eyes met, and Yan Sheng's deep pupils were clear and cold, and as bright as stars.

There was a flash of surprise in Yu Shujin's eyes, but she couldn't help but worry about this handsome man.

He was an unpopular prince in the west, who was chosen because of his outstanding looks and given to the Empress of Yan State.

It has been nearly half a month since he was taken to the mountain, and his life is worse than that of a young waiter.

Like prisoners, being locked in cages, drugged, beaten and humiliated is the norm.

If he had known this, he should not have escaped from the western envoys' team.

It would be better to go to the imperial capital and become the empress's male favorite than to fall into the hands of this disgusting and dirty woman, the hall master.

"What are you looking at? Yu Shujin, if you say something nice and beg me, I might consider not poisoning you."

The hall master pinched Yu Shujin's chin with one hand and held a bottle of voice-loss medicine in the other hand, and said in a deep voice.

"Bah, even if I die, I will never give in to a disgusting old woman like you."

Yu Shujin quickly looked away, looked at the hall master, and said with disgust.

Upon hearing this, the hall master's eyes became fierce. He pried open Yu Shujin's mouth and was about to pour the voice-losing drug into her mouth.

She hates it most when people say she is old. Yu Shujin, this bitch, really hits her sore spots everywhere.

Seeing this, Yan Sheng's eyes flashed slightly. He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it into the window.

In an instant, the hall master suddenly felt a pain in his hand and subconsciously let go, and the voice-loss medicine in his hand immediately fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned. Yu Shujin lowered her eyes with some shock and worry in her eyes.

"Who? Come out."

The hall master's eyes darkened slightly, and he spoke sternly, picked up the Light Frost Sword on the wall, and chopped it hard at the wooden window, which immediately broke into pieces.

Yan Sheng stood there, her long ink-black hair fluttering in the wind, her face was picturesque, her eyes were like stars, her lips were slightly pursed, her posture was elegant, calm, yet noble.

The hall master took a closer look and was stunned. He felt that this person had an immortal appearance and a graceful figure.

"Are you qualified to use this Light Frost Sword?" Yan Sheng looked up at the Light Frost Sword in the hall master's hand and said in a cold voice.

"Sir, this sword belongs to this hall master, why are you not worthy of using it? Are you the new handsome man?"

The hall master looked straight at Yan Sheng, his tone softened as he spoke in a low voice.

Yan Sheng snorted coldly, "How did my things become yours? Ugly people are prone to mischief, and the hall master's face is thicker than the wall."

"You... Young Master, have you not figured out the situation yet? As long as you go up the mountain, not to mention this sword, you belong to this hall master. From now on, you will be the one in this hall master's room."

The hall master's eyes narrowed slightly. He was another unruly man, but it didn't matter. She would slowly trample his pride under her feet.

"Grand Hall Master, didn't you decide to give Qing Shuang to the Third Hall Master last night?"

The girl who had seen Su Hanqi take off Yan Sheng's mask before spoke weakly.

"What? He is the disfigured Qingshuang who is wearing a mask?"

The hall master was shocked, his eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice, "Didn't Su Hanqi say that Qingshuang's face was burned and disfigured?"

Well, this bitch actually dared to lie to her. No wonder she was so abnormal last night and insisted on having a disfigured man.

"Qingshuang, how are you? Are you okay?"

Su Hanqi, who came rushing over after seeing the commotion, quickly stood in front of Yan Sheng and spoke nervously.

He felt relieved when he saw Yan Sheng was not injured. Then he looked at Yu Shujin who was covered with scars in the room, and his heart was slightly moved.

Yan Sheng, who originally wanted to kill the hall master, saw Su Hanqi coming. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he stopped temporarily.

"You've come just in time, Su Hanqi. Is this what you call disfigurement?" The hall master looked at Su Hanqi and said angrily.
