Chapter 243: Make peace with what you have come
Shiyue opened the lunch box, which contained porridge, buns and eggs.
Shi Ri just woke up, and when he saw the food box in Shi Yue's hand, he came over excitedly.
Several people ate voraciously. After eating, they fetched water to wash and tidied up the room.
The day passed like this, and lunch and dinner were also delivered by Youshi.
Not only that, You also brought them new clothes and some daily necessities.
"Here are your clothes. You can change into them tomorrow." Yu said, "And these things. See if you need anything."
Shiyue showed no expression and thanked him politely.
However, Shi Ri and the other brothers were moved to tears of gratitude. After all, they had never been treated like this in the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Shi Ri said with a smile.
At night, after eating, everyone lay in bed, unable to fall asleep, so they started chatting.
Shi Ri stroked the new clothes that You Shi gave him beside his pillow and whispered, "I feel it's pretty good here. Although there's nowhere to go and my feet are tied with chains, at least I don't have to starve or freeze, and I don't have to worry about facing the Tenth Prince..."
Shi Yue did not respond, even though he had been with the Tenth Prince for more than ten years and felt a chill every time he faced the Tenth Prince, let alone them.
However, Shi Ri did not wait for Shi Yue's response and fell asleep unknowingly.
After a while, the others also fell asleep and snoring sounds could be heard in the room.
However, Shiyue still couldn't fall asleep.
Early in the morning, Shiyue opened the door and sat in the yard in a daze.
Just as he sat down, Youshi pushed open the gate and walked in.
Suddenly seeing a figure in the yard, You was startled. When she saw that it was the taciturn young man, she asked, "Why did you get up so early?"
When she got closer, she found that Shiyue had obvious dark circles under her eyes. Yu was surprised and asked, "What's going on?"
Shiyue shook her head gently, her voice a little low: "I didn't sleep well last night."
Yu Shi listened to his words, nodded, and handed the food box in her hand to Shi Yue, and gently instructed: "Then I will go back first, remember to eat on time."
After saying these words, You slowly stood up and prepared to leave.
Just as she was about to step out of the room, Shiyue smiled softly and said, "Thank you."
Yu nodded slightly in response, said nothing more, and then gently closed the gate.
Shi Ri walked out rubbing his sleepy eyes. When he saw the food box in Shi Yue's hand, he asked curiously, "Did your sister-in-law come over just now?"
Shiyue nodded, then put the food box on the ground, turned around and walked to the well to fetch water.
After Shiyue came back with the water, they simply washed up and sat around the table to start eating.
Although there were only some ordinary buns, pickles and porridge on the table, it was already a rare delicacy for them.
While eating, Shi Xing couldn't help but mutter: "I don't know how long we will be locked up here..."
Hearing this, Shiyue's hand that was picking up food suddenly stopped for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
At the same time, in the Tenth Prince’s Mansion.
The tenth prince did not sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was terribly gloomy.
The ground around him was littered with broken porcelain pieces, a mess.
Without Shiyue around, no one else in the mansion dared to go before the Tenth Prince at this time.
After all, everyone is still frightened by what happened before, and no one wants to be blamed again.
"Someone come!" the Tenth Prince shouted, "Aren't they back yet?" His voice was filled with obvious displeasure and impatience.
The whole room fell into silence and no one dared to answer easily.
However, the Tenth Prince did not give up. He raised his voice again: "Can't you hear what I say?"
Finally, a trembling voice sounded: "Reply...Reply Your Highness, they haven't come back yet."
At this moment, the person in charge of receiving and delivering letters walked up to the Tenth Prince and said tremblingly, "Your Highness, the Shangguo Temple has reported that Concubine Li...Li has arrived."
Upon hearing this, the Tenth Prince's face instantly turned gloomy, and a chilling light flashed in his eyes.
"Oh, when did you arrive?" His tone was so cold that it made people tremble.
"Yesterday...yesterday at noon..." the man answered tremblingly.
However, before he could finish his words, a terrified face fell to the ground.
It turned out that the Tenth Prince raised his sword and chopped off his head with one stroke.
"You arrived at noon yesterday, and you only tell me now?" the Tenth Prince asked angrily.
However, no matter how he questioned, the headless corpse on the ground could no longer answer his questions.
Faced with the furious Tenth Prince, the servants all knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.
The bloody scene just now was right in front of our eyes, and no one wanted to be the second unlucky person to have his head and body separated.
The Tenth Prince's eyes were like knives, full of murderous intent. He turned around abruptly and shouted at the other servants, "What are you still doing here? Go and find out where Shiyue and the others are now!"
The servants were frightened and nodded repeatedly. They got up quickly and ran out in panic.
But Yu Shu had already cleaned up the scene thoroughly, not even a strand of hair was left.
As for Commander Ma, he was currently accompanying Concubine Li in the Shangguo Temple to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures, and he could not come out for the time being.
Hearing the confusing news, the Tenth Prince's face grew darker and the anger in his heart burned even more fiercely.
He was furious and waved his hand, and several sword lights flashed, killing several innocent people in an instant.
However, at this time, Shiyue and others had no idea about the Tenth Prince's anger.
They are enjoying this rare quiet time, as if all their worries have been left behind.
The few of them seemed to have thought it through completely. They no longer cared about the chains on their bodies and each of them fetched water to wash their own dirty clothes.
"Hey," Eleven's figure appeared on the wall, looking at the busy Shiyue with a playful look on his face, "What? Have you figured it out? Want to make the best of it?"
Shi Yue didn't even raise her head, "What else? Do I have to pretend to be a bitter woman and fight you to the end? There's absolutely no need."
Eleven nodded approvingly, "I'm glad you figured it out."
As he said that, Eleven threw the thing in his hand to Shiyue.
Shiyue hurriedly took it and found that it was actually a key.
Eleven explained, "My brother has been busy these past two days and has no time to entertain you. So he told you to be at your own convenience."
This means that Shiyue and the others can leave whenever they want.
However, Eleven changed the subject and continued, "But I must remind you that the Tenth Prince has gone mad. Just now, several corpses were carried out from the back door."
