TRIGGER WARNING: Torture, Animal cruelty

--

+

Zhang Ping was dazed when he sensed that someone seemed to be flooding him.

+

He lost too much blood and opened his mouth to drink wildly.

+

The water went into his windpipe and the cough gave him a splitting headache. No, it was not a splitting headache, his head was literally cracked open.

+

"What kind of a slave you are not knowing your own limit, but you were sent to the Inner Palace Division after only six months in the palace, and you were sent by the order of his highness the great prince. You, just wait for the skin to come off! " There was someone to maliciously mock in his ear.

+

The following month, Zhang Ping had truly shed a layer of skin in the inner palace division torture chamber.

+

Before the slave could utter a word, he was slapped in the mouth because they said that he was not pious enough.

+

He was stripped of his pants and they let him practice kneeling on the limestone slab, his knees were so red and swollen that his flesh was broken.

+

"Has this kid had become an idiot because of the beating from the fourth prince? How can he howl desperately at the first stroke? Listen to that miserable cry, he cried so much that it hurts everyone's ears!"

+

"Who knows? Maybe his brain is stoned, the more he's hit, the more he howls.When he was delivered, it was said that the blood kept flowing from the forehead, and the blood on his face make him look like a ghost. It's good that he is saved"

+

"Do you know what he did?"

+

"I'm telling you, you don't tell anyone. l heard that the boy had the nerve to speak ill of the great prince."

+

"Really? He doesn't want to live?"

+

"Yeah, stupid, just plain stupid."

+

"Would he have been sent here if he wasn't stupid?"

+

"Also. Hey ! Get on your knees! If I see you fall again, this Granpa will slap you to death! "

+

In order to teach him to be careful with his words and conduct, the eunuch in charge of the execution room of the inner palace division had his mouth pried open and his tongue stabbed with a needle; he also poured boiling water on his mouth, calling it "washing his mouth".

+

In order for him to learn to be humble, he was made to shout "Thank you for your reward, grandpa" while taking food like a dog.

In case he doesn't remember his lesson, they let him kneel with a bamboo stick under his fingernails and scrub the floor.

+

Zhang Ping never acts like a hero at this time. He cries more bitterly and louder than anyone who has been tortured. In his heart, he vowed desperately that he would get it all back in the future. It's not like he's a fool to go hard against these people with abnormal hearts at a time like this.

+

He can cry and beg for mercy at the same time, he can say whatever you want him to say. The eunuch who had to execute him couldn't help but say: "If you were so obedient, Isn't there not so much sin to suffer anymore? Don't cry! What a fucking prick!"

+

The punishment for the tormentors of the inner palace division was varied, and Zhang Ping, who had no background, no supporter, and no filial respect, had to suffer the teachings of the eunuch in charge for the rest of his life.

+

So has Zhang Ping changed? Has he become the obedient slave that the great prince would expect?

+

Zhang Ping had indeed changed. At least on the surface, it seems so.

Inside, Zhang Ping also thought he had changed. He felt that he had learned a lot in the library incident. For example, he knows that he can't talk nonsense, but he can also say what he has to say with evidence, and must not be held to ransom and for example, never confront someone with the beginning of the word Emperor's*. Even if he has a peerless martial art, he will only get defeated. Not to mention that he had not yet practiced the number one martial art in the world.

1

Maybe he shouldn't be a eunuch. Zhang Ping thought. He found it really great to be an emperor. If you can be an emperor who possesses peerless martial arts and holds the power of life and death in the world, that is real life!

+

I wonder if there are any eunuchs in the world who have become emperors?

Well, whether he could be the first eunuch emperor in the world or not, this inner prisoner's torture chamber was really a good place to sharpen a master. Every day, Zhang Ping would end his thoughts with a sigh like this.

+

No matter how much Zhang Ping felt about himself, change was change. This young man, full of justice and heroism, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth*, young and impulsive, was finally ruthlessly rubbed off some of his edges nearly a year after entering the palace.

+

*)not knowing his limit

+

What should have taken years, or even a dozen years, to do was done within a month in the inner chamber under the authority of the execution division. The eunuch who comes in and went out of here, no matter how rebellious and obstinate they are, always becomes very obedient and well-behaved when they go out.

+

When Zhang Ping went out, he looked very well-behaved and very obedient.

+

Huangfu Jie began to starve again. Because he was to reflect behind closed door, Xian Fei nearly used the gold hairpin to puncture his back. By the way, Xianfei had stopped poking his brow bone a long time ago, as Hongxiu reminded her that Huangfu Jie was already studying at the Imperial Academy and it was not appropriate to leave a wound on his face.

+

Fifteen days passed.

+

Late at night, a small figure appeared outside the inner palace division's torture chamber. he took a look at the tree outside the chamber and climbed up after a quick run.

+

The sound of human wailing came from inside.

+

This place and the Cold Palace were known as the two most gloomy places within the palace, indiscriminately day and night were always filled with screams and cries, no normal person would run to this place casually.

+

No one noticed him. Nor did anyone expect anyone to run specifically to the place where the eunuch was being punished, perhaps the palace guards noticed, but didn't pay particular attention either. After all, the prince didn't sleep at night and hang out in the palace, so as long as he didn't enter sensitive areas, who would care about that?

+

The dark shadow lay on the tree and struggled to reach his head to look in.

+

There were lights in the house, and there seemed to be someone inside who was being tortured, From time to time, there were sounds of cursing, mocking and whipping, and miserable cries of pleading.

+

The one who wept miserably was a middle-aged eunuch, and he was left hanging.

+

The one who was beaten miserably was a juvenile eunuch about fifteen or sixteen years old, who was also hanged. The young eunuch seemed to have lost consciousness, closed his eyes and bowed his head as the officer scolded him.

+

The black shadow on the tree disappeared.

+

After that, the black shadow came every night, and every time, he would lie down on a tree like this to watch the punishment eunuch or the head eunuch of the inner palace division torture chamber punish and teach the young eunuch.

+

Every night, the pattern is different. Every night, the "education" for the teenager will be carried out late into the night.

+

The dark shadow kept watching and listening.

+

It was late at night, Huang Fu Jie was standing in his courtyard dressed in all black, looking at a small bird on the ground.

+

The bird's wings had been broken, its eyes poked blind, its pointed beak cracked, its body feathers plucked in half, and it had a hole in its belly, all the internal organs in the hole have disappeared.

+

After watching for a while, Huang Fu Jie crouched down, picked up a stone, and very skillfully smashed the bird's head, one by one then the bird's wings, body, and two legs, until it was smashed beyond recognition.

+

Huang Fu Jie stood up again and reached out his feet to rub the crumbs into the soil and flatten it.

+

Looking at the dirt beneath his feet, the boy let out a strange laugh like a cooing* sound.

1

Huangfu Jie reappeared in imperial college after thinking behind closed doors. He still looks the same as before and yet seems a little different.

+

When a servant under the third prince "inadvertently" knocked over his inkstone at the third prince's behest, Huangfu Jie, who had always held his tongue, stood up and gave the slave a kick, and scolded him severely: "your dog's eyes are blind!"

+

The third prince was astonished and furious but he heard Huangfu Jie gloomily say to him: "Third royal brother, this foolish brother is stupid, royal brothers can teach me any lesson. But I can't let these lowly slaves ride on my head and lose the face and majesty of the royal family. "

+

Second prince applauded and laughed, saying that it was true.

+

The eldest prince also said, "Old fourth has a good point. Old third, your servant needs to be taught the rules again.

+

The third prince was also a shrewd master. He slapped the table, "blind dog! Go out and kneel for this prince*!"

1

The servant quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and went out to the yard and knelt.

+

Three months later, Zhang Ping, who had become very well-behaved and obedient, was sent back to Ruihua Palace. It was said that for nearly two months of that time he had been recuperating from his injuries because the grand prince did not want him to die and said that he would teach this lowly slave well and give it to the fourth prince as a gift.

+

Xian Fei saw the little eunuch and wanted to reprimand him, look at him on the ground ,he was shivering and his face was stupid, she lost her interest. With a wave of her hand, she asked Hongxiu to escort him to the Fourth Emperor's compound.

+

Zhang Ping shrank down and trembled as he followed behind Hong Xiu.

+

"Zhang Ping"

+

"The slave is here."Zhang Ping replied immediately, as did his conditioned reflexes.

+

Hong Xiu looked at him, she had not seen him for three months, this fifteen year old juvenile eunuch has only a layer of skin left, the original honest and well-behaved, and that pure innocence is gone, replaced by a humble face full of fear and trepidation.

+

"Alas, to tell you the truth, why are you so foolish? Is that person worth the price you pay?" Hong Xiu sighed, the rabbit dies and the fox mourns*. Good boy, it's a waste.

+

"Forget it, you'll serve the fourth prince well in the future.In a couple of days, I'll send another palace maid to help"

+

Zhang Ping repeatedly said yes, not daring to lift his head.

+

Seeing Hong Xiu send Zhang Ping in, Huangfu Jie only slightly raised his head in front of the desk. +

Hong Xiu didn't take it seriously, Huang Fu Jie had always treated her in such a way that he was afraid to speak up. +

As soon as Zhang Ping entered the house, he immediately fell to his knees in an extremely standard position and called out, "Slave servant Zhang Ping, kowtow to Your Highness, long live the Fourth Highness." +

Hong Xiu casually instructed a few words and departed. +

Zhang Ping remained on his knees and did not move a muscle. +

Huang Fu Jie also did not ask him to get up, just keep making a stroke to his post. +

The room was very quiet, and it was unknown when Huang Fu Jie stopped his pen and turned to face Zhang Ping, who was kneeling on the ground, and watched in silence. +

Zhang Ping still didn't move. +

Huangfu Jie finally jumped out of his chair and walked to Zhang Ping. +

Zhang Ping's breath was serene. +

Huang Fu Jie crouched down and pouted his ass to look down at Zhang Ping's face. +

Zhang Ping maintained a kowtow posture, both palms up in front of his head, already asleep. +

Huang Fu Jie nudged him. +

Zhang Ping's posture collapsed and he slumped to the ground, sleeping with his legs curled up in an unconscious state. +

The child poked his face, saw that he was not awake, simply squeezed into his arms, head nestled into his chest, small hands on his waist, a small short leg across Zhang Ping's hip, also closed his eyes to sleep. +

Fortunately, Zhang Ping was awake in the middle of the night, otherwise the two of them would fall asleep until the next morning in October of the golden autumn, it would be strange if they'll not get sick. +

Zhang Ping woke up and noticed a fiery lump on his chest. Because of the cold, the child shoved to force himself into Zhang Ping's body, clinging at Zhang Ping like a monkey. +

Zhang Ping wiped his face, distressed. +

He had wanted to escape the palace, but how could this child let him go? Take him away? Probably before they left the capital, the soldiers had already butchered Fang Ding Village. +

He is young and inexperienced, but he knows what to do and what not to do. +

Zhang Ping's head continued to agonize. Is he treating this prince the right way? After these three months of "education", he was no longer sure. +

Now he thought about how naive he was three months ago! +

He thought he could help Huangfu Jie, but what happened? He was nothing more than the lowest and most humble of the rankless eunuch, who was he to call a prince brother? Even if he wasn't favored, it wasn't a position he could hold high. Not to mention helping him and teaching him? +

Maybe he was really wrong. +

Zhang Ping couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he had to become more mature and responsible. +

When his body regained consciousness, Zhang Ping picked up the child and walked to the bed. +

He tried to put the child to bed, but couldn't get the child off of him. +

He took down his left hand and two legs would hook his body. +

If he release his right hand, his left hand gets tangled up again. +

Later, the child may know that someone wanted to remove him from Zhang Ping. Now it doesn't matter what Zhang Ping tries to release his hand, it was useless. The child's grip becomes tighter and tighter, and he refuses to let go. +

Zhang Ping couldn't laugh or cry. Hey kid, you're not letting people sleep? +

"Your Highness, i beg your pardon, the slave is injured. Can I ask you to come down?" Zhang Ping respectfully said, his voice was a little hoarse. +

The child's hand was immediately loosened. Zhang Ping put the child flat on the bed. The child hand tugged at his lapel and refused to let it go. +

"The slave will light the candles." +

The child let go and Zhang Ping light the candlestick. +

"Are you hungry? Let the slave go and get you something to eat." Zhang Ping went back to bed again, hanging his head and waiting for the child's instructions. +

The child stared at him with a very somber look. +

"Your Highness, what may I ask what you want from your servant?" Feeling the others gaze, Zhang Ping did not dare to raise his head either and asked cautiously. +

"Big brother" +

Huh? +

"You are big brother, not a slave." +

Zhang Ping laughed and said, "That was all nonsense by the slave servant before, Your Highness dont take it seriously." The burn in his mouth is still fresh, Zhang Ping words spoke a little slurred. +

The child turned around in a flash, the back of his head was facing toward Zhang Ping and he stopped talking. +

Zhang Ping stood in front of the bed and waited, wondering if he should wait on his knees. Thinking about it, he fell to his knees. +

Zhang Ping bowed her head and once again thought about what to do in the future. +

He helped this fourth prince and even taught him in a way he thought was good for children. +

But the fact tells him that with his naivety and shallowness, he has no way to be a child tutor. Not to mention protecting him. +

He is only fifteen, not fifty, and without a lot of life experience and knowledge, how can he resist those who bully Huangfu Jie? They are also the most powerful people in the world, and they have the power to kill him. +

Maybe he should just be a servant and serve the child honestly. +

Perhaps from now on, he should make the child aware of his privilege as a prince, a privilege that no one but his father could take away. +

He couldn't teach him to be the second-best in the world, but he could teach him to be a proper prince, right? +

To teach a child to be a true prince is to make the child realize that he is his master, and that he is nothing more than his slave. He can scold him as much as he wants without any compassion. +

Zhang Ping thinks he's got an idea, Zhang Ping then raised his head and tried to receive the punishment. +

The child's shoulders are trembling slightly. +

Zhang Ping is stunned. +

A thin sob came to the ears, suppressed with grief. +
