“How is he?”
The duke comes close. He does not show any emotions but it’s unusual for him to show interest in his lover.
“Be patient. I’ve reminded you to be soft and gentle to such beauties, but you don’t listen.”
Pian Shi Si mumbles while carefully examining the patient. “Mm?”, he says, then glances at the duke.
“My grace, how often do you do it with him?”
Song Qing replied in his stead, “From late at night until dawn for the last two months…”
Pian Shi Si was expecting that. The duke is energetic like a beast. It’s a miracle his lower parts haven’t gotten exhausted after so many years, instead, he remains energetic as usual.
“No wonder. This boy’s body is like an empty shell. It‘s the first time I see someone who hasn’t died from such a weak body. Did you feed him supplements daily, my grace?”
“Yes.”
The duke frowns. It is hard to tell if it’s due to anger or worry.
“These supplements are useless! He looks great on the surface but is already spoiled inside. To put it simply, after examining him I noticed that even if he still not an adult, his body is far worse than that of an old man. He is half dead.”
The duke grabs his collar and pulls him up.
“Can he be saved?”
“Ouch, ouch! Put me down!”
The duke lets him go and stops interrupting. Pian Shi Si struggles to get up and straightens his clothes. He despises people who use violence to negotiate with others.
“I, Pian Shi Si, won’t let my patient meet the God of Death that easily.”
He says, full of pride.
“Please get out, all of you.”
He says while chasing the people away from the room. But the duke does not want to leave, he remains to stare at the beauty laying on the bed. Pian Shi Si catches a glimpse of the duke’s gentle gaze.
Pian Shi Si shivered.
“What the heck…”, he mumbles. “Since you like to watch, then stay here. I’m gonna treat his wounds first. How could you torture someone until every part of their body is covered in wounds? Are you an animal?”
The duke ignores his complaints. His reputation is far worse than that of being an “animal”, but he usually overlooks those unthoughtful and negative comments.
“Mm?”
Pian Shi Si grabs Shen Yu’s fingers and looks closely at his nails.
“You’ve increased your torture methods, your grace. I see you’re using needles now, instead of candles or a whip.”
The duke glares at him.
“Needles?”
“Look at these wounds between his fingers. Aren’t these pinholes? Don’t deny it, your grace. You can’t fool me.”
The duke notices that for the first time. All of Shen Yu’s nails were covered with pinhole wounds. None of them were uninjured.
The duke always tortured Shen Yu whenever they went to bed together, so it was common for Shen Yu to have wounds and bruises all over his body. That is why the duke was unable to notice those little pricks until now.
“Yikes! You used poison too… This smell is just… Ugh…”
Pian Shi Si pierces Shen Yu with a silver needle, making the object immediately go black from the contact. Then, he smells it.
“This pungent smell… It’s a poison from the land of Nan Jiang. And it’s venomous.”
Pian Shi Si notices the duke would never use poison when torturing someone. It is obvious that Shen Yu was abused by someone else.
Pian Shi Si suddenly feels a cold gaze on his back. It feels like being targeted by a dangerous beast. The duke starts to get bloodthirsty.
