Xu Yu's body was moved to a simple room in the courtyard where the chamberlains lived at the back, where the chamberlains and maidens who committed crimes were usually detained.
Most of the chamberlains and maids who died in the palace were thrown directly onto carts, pulled out and buried.
There are also those who committed crimes like Xu Yu. Basically, they died in the Criminal Punishment Department, and their bodies were temporarily buried in the Criminal Punishment Department. They were dragged out and thrown away after the case was understood.
As a result, she was lucky. She was able to get treatment from the Department of Criminal Justice before she died, and she died outside. The Department of Criminal Punishment always only accepts people, not corpses.
The case against Xu Yu was not settled yet, so Eunuch Wu just found a place to park the body without having time to deal with it.
Manbao didn't even need to find Eunuch Wu, he just found one of Eunuch Wu's servants.
Xu Yu's body was placed casually on a wooden board, still covered with a quilt. When Bai Shan saw that Man Bao and Xu An were standing still, he took the initiative to lift the quilt, revealing only her head and face.
The chopsticks had been removed from her neck, her clothes were almost stained red, and her face was still bloody. It was obvious that no one had cleaned her up.
Bai Shan hesitated for a moment and then stepped aside to let Xu An behind him see her.
Xu An took two steps forward, lowered his head and looked quietly at the person lying on the board. After looking at it for a long time, he dug out some things from his memory that seemed to be related to her. It seemed that he had seen her in Yeting Palace.
, but when the two of them passed by each other, the other did not stop.
Speaking of his sister, he still recalled a very vague memory of a little girl stuffing snacks into his hand when he was very young.
Xu An took two more steps forward and looked at Xu Yu carefully. He remembered that when he was delivering a food box to Doctor Zhou this morning, he looked up and saw that the doctor was still sitting on the bed and in good spirits.
Xu An opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but found that no sound came out, so he simply closed his mouth again.
Bai Shan pulled Man Bao, and they took Bai Erlang and Yin You out.
The four of them sat together on the railing outside and waited.
As soon as the four of them left, tears began to fall from Xu An's eyes. He walked to the wooden board and knelt down to look at her.
He pulled out his sleeve and carefully wiped the blood on her face. Because the blood had dried, he couldn't wipe it clean for a while.
He simply knelt down on the ground and stared at her blankly. It took him a while to see some similarities with his on her face, and then he barely found the same look from his memory as when she was a child.
Xu An thought of something, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull open some of her clothes, and pulled out a dull red rope with some blood on it, and a very small safety knot on it.
Xu An also pulled out a similar red rope from his collar.
He couldn't bear it any longer, so he lay on top of her and started to cry suppressedly.
This was the knot my sister tied for both of them when they first learned to tie it. They could not leave any marks on their bodies or send tokens to each other.
Things like peace knots are usually worn by noble people around their waists, so my sister made a very small one for him and herself, which can be worn around the neck and kept in the arms during class so that the stewards cannot see it.
He kept it carefully for fear of accidentally leaving it behind.
The four people sitting outside heard the low crying coming from the room and couldn't help but sigh. Everyone's shoulders slumped a little.
Yin You asked Man Bao in a low voice, "The matter has not spread yet. Only us and Senior Brother Tang, His Royal Highness, know about it. But once the palace lets go of the investigation, they will definitely guess that you are involved. Xu An also
What can you do if you can deliver it to my home?"
Man Bao shook his legs and said nothing.
Bai Shanze said: "Don't worry, we know what we know. Most of us still live in the palace now, and they don't dare to do anything."
Bai Shan turned his head and glanced at Man Bao before saying, "When will you go to the Imperial Medical Office for class tomorrow?"
Man Bao said: "It's about time."
Bai Shan nodded, knowing what he was doing.
Xu An stayed in the house for a long time. When he came out of the house, his eyes were swollen. When he saw Man Bao, he knelt down and kowtowed.
Man Bao hurriedly stepped forward to pull him up, but he knelt down and did not move. Instead, he knelt again and said: "Master Zhou, I want to fetch a basin of water to tidy up her body and change her into clean clothes.
I also ask Mr. Zhou to fulfill my wish."
Man Bao thought for a while and then nodded and said: "Her clothes are still in the room. I'll find a set later to help her change into them. You can do the rest by yourself."
She paused and then said: "When the palace has finished investigating the case, I will tell Eunuch Wu to send the body out later, and you can take it for burial."
Xu An looked up at Man Bao in surprise and asked, "I, do I want to leave the palace?"
Man Bao nodded slightly, then pointed at Yin He and said: "I have already agreed with Mr. Yin that you will follow him for the time being. You know, the palace is not safe. I am just a little imperial doctor now, so I can't protect you for the time being.
, so you should follow Mr. Yin first."
Yin You nodded slightly to Xu An.
Xu An didn't expect that Zhou Man had even thought of this, and he hadn't asked him about other things about detailed work until now.
He opened his mouth, and finally kowtowed solemnly, choking with sobs and saying: "Yes, thank you Master Zhou and the three young masters."
Man Bao went to find a set of Xu Yu's clothes. In fact, she only had palace clothes and basically no other clothes.
And she was smaller than her, so her clothes didn't fit her, so she had to change into palace clothes.
Xu An didn't mind at all, it was already good to change into clean clothes.
He wiped the blood off her face and neck and took a closer look. He felt that she looked more and more like him. It was really strange. They were clearly in the palace together before, so why couldn't he recognize her?
They said that the sister was sent to another mansion and might become a concubine in the future, and the child she would give birth to would still be a son-in-law.
But it turns out that they are in the palace together?
He was so close, she knew him, but he didn't recognize her.
Xu An threw the handkerchief back into the tub, looked at her carefully, and then picked up the new quilt he brought and covered her with it.
It was getting dark now, and the four of them pulled him away together.
Bai Shandao: "Since you were sent by Eunuch Wu to serve us, you can sleep in our room tonight."
Xu An opened his mouth, but nodded under the gazes of the four people. He was also a little confused at this time. He was not sure how to go in the future. Did he really want to go out of the palace with them?
At night, he lay on the footrest and couldn't sleep. Bai Shan, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly whispered: "Xu An, a gentleman takes revenge every ten years, because a gentleman must accumulate strength and wait for the opportunity. To take revenge, you must know how to be patient."
, otherwise, it will just be a moth flying into a flame. It will not only let down the four of us, but also let down your sister."
In the dark night, Xu An looked at the roof with his eyes open and asked softly: "Can I, a rootless person, really be able to take revenge?"
Bai Shandao: "Actually, your sister has already avenged herself. She has pierced them like a sharp knife and tore off a large piece of flesh and blood. She can do this in a hurry, let alone you.
What? I have always believed that God has a way and a good life. If they do many unjust things, they will always be punished."
