How To Survive as a Villain-Chapter 25: I’ve Confirmed That His Eyes Gave Up Thinking.
Xiao YuAn first stumbled and backed away a few steps, but then he realized that he was mistaken. So he went back, glanced at the situation at the bed, took a deep breath of cold air, and backed away ten or so meters, turning around intending to escape.
It was so silent around that even the sound of a needle dropping would be heard. Suddenly, a painfully sob came from the bed right towards Xiao YuAn’s ears.
Xiao YuAn abruptly stopped, meditated three times in his heart that escape would be shameful, then took a deep breath and ran back towards the bed.
Yan HeQing was blindfolded by a black cloth, and his mouth was covered with cloth strips, his white clothes were open and his body was bound by hemp ropes. He struggled too hard and his naked skin was already crimson because of the ropes, even a little bit of blood could be seen.
Xiao YuAn took off the cloth on Yan HeQing’s eyes and mouth. Under it, Yan HeQing’s eyes were bloodshot, but his lips were pale.
Xiao YuAn was ready to be scolded and bitten. Unexpectedly, Yan HeQing didn’t say a word, curled up and breathed heavily. Xiao YuAn reached out to untie Yan HeQing’s robe on his body, but suddenly, he felt something was wrong.
Yan HeQing’s consciousness was extremely unclear, and he was left blank except for his empty eyes. His whole person was lying on the bed in a daze, without a trace of movement. Even when Xiao YuAn kept talking to him, it was like talking to a puppet, without any response.
Yan-ge1, why are you so stupid!! The world will be depending on you to be saved!
The rope was extremely fancy, and it could be described as bondage, but it was more like a preference. Xiao YuAn had never been exposed to these kinds of knots before. In a hurry, he was very confused, and for a while he wasn’t untying anything; instead he was making the knots more complicated.
In a rage, Xiao YuAn pulled out a small part of the rope that was finally untied!
Then after that, tied a bowknot……
Xiao YuAn abandoned himself and cried out with a trembling voice: “Hong Xiu!”
After several shouts, the candlelight flickered at the entrance of the bedroom, and Hong Xiu hurried in, kneeling beside the bed: “Your Majesty, what happened?”
Xiao YuAn’s brain was a mess. He didn’t know where to start, he could only say: “You, you, you first untie this rope for me.”
Suddenly, Hong Xiu seemed to realize what she had done wrong. Her face went pale, and she quickly got up to untie Yan HeQing’s rope.
“Is he stupid?” Xiao YuAn looked at Yan HeQing, who all this time didn’t give any reaction, he suddenly felt that his internal organs were all mixed together.
Hong Xiu untied the rope, and then knelt back to the ground again: “Answering to His Majesty, for fear that he will rebel and hurt His Majesty, this maidservant gave him the overpowering drug, he is not really stupid. As long as he takes the antidote, nothing will happen to him and he will only need to rest for one night.”
Xiao YuAn patted his chest and let out a long breath: “Where’s the antidote?”
Hong Xiu took out a small porcelain bottle containing the antidote and handed it over.
Xiao YuAn took over the white porcelain bottle, sat down beside the bed, reached for Yan HeQing, and fed him the antidote carefully.
After drinking the antidote, Yan HeQing quickly fell into a deep sleep. Xiao YuAn pulled his clothes on and covered him with the quilt. After a long time of work, he turned around and found that Hong Xiu was still kneeling there.
Xiao YuAn said: “Don’t kneel, get up.”
Hong Xiu doesn’t obey, lowering her head: “This maidservant begs His Majesty to punish her.”
Xiao YuAn stretched out his hand and pulled up Hong Xiu. He said with a wry smile, “Why the punishment?”
“Hong Xiu knows that His Majesty dotes on this man and ordered Hong Xiu to not touch him before, but this man is too dangerous! Hong Xiu couldn’t help but send him to His Majesty’s bedside. But now that His Majesty saw his injury, he can’t bear to go any further……”
“Wait!” Xiao YuAn grabbed the keywords, “Injury, what injury?”
Hong Xiu answered stupefyingly: “The whip wound on his back …”
Xiao YuAn inhaled and exhaled, then inhaled and exhaled again, and then turned over the cabinets.
Hong Xiu was puzzled: “What are you looking for, Your Majesty?”
“Gold and silver, jewelry, expensive clothing and other valuable things.”
“Why are you looking for these?”
“Run away! No! No, we are not running away, we are going to, what is called, strategic shifting!”
