Chapter 298: Speculation, Medication

"Won't you go and see it yourself, my fifth brother?" The King of Wei obviously didn't expect Xuanyuan Sheng to be so calm, even when his own son was beaten, he could remain calm. "No matter what the cause of the incident is, the regent of the Great Zhou, Rong Yu, and Yao'er are probably at odds with each other."

Grudge?

Xuanyuan Sheng looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a deep and unfathomable look that people couldn't understand.

"It's useless for me to go now." He said lightly, "Those who should be dealt with have been dealt with, and those who should be beaten have probably been beaten by now. What can I do if I go? It's better to ask two imperial doctors to treat the injuries of Yao'er and General Ling of the Great Zhou."

Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor nodded slowly: "That's right. Send two imperial doctors to take a look first, and let's talk about the others after they return to the palace."

He then ordered the eunuchs to go to the Imperial Hospital to convey the order.

Xuanyuan Sheng didn't say anything else.

As soon as the prince of Huainan returned to Beijing, he provoked the soldiers of the Great Zhou in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, and then was beaten with forty military sticks. The news quickly spread throughout the imperial city and the palace and the outside world knew the news, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Everyone was shocked by the extraordinary courage and thundering methods of the regent of the Great Zhou. He even dared to beat the prince of Huainan. Wasn't he afraid of offending the king of Huainan and angering the emperor, and he would have no place to stand in Dongling in the future? At the same time, they also learned that Xuanyuan Yao was willing to accept the punishment because he challenged the regent and lost.

But the civil officials understood things differently from the soldiers.

They believed that Rong Yu had offended the father and son of the king of Huainan, and whether there was a bet or not was not the point.

It is said that it was originally eighty strokes, and finally Princess Feng pleaded for mercy and reduced it to forty. So will the prince of Huainan and the Huainan army be grateful to Princess Feng? Or, it is possible that they will hold a grudge together?

The powerful ministers secretly sent people to inquire about this matter, wanting to know the attitude of the King of Huainan towards this matter, wanting to know the injury of the prince Xuanyuan Yao, and even more wanting to know how the emperor would deal with this matter. They even secretly speculated in their hearts, after today's incident, will the relationship between the regent of the Great Zhou, Rong Yu, and the King of Huainan become like fire and water?

Will Princess Feng's situation become difficult?

Most people only speculate about what has happened, and watch the development of the situation. All kinds of speculations and ideas are flying around, but no one thinks about why the prince of Huainan provoked the Xuanjia Army of the Great Zhou as soon as he returned to Beijing?

Among all the soldiers who witnessed the cause and effect of this incident in the military camp, perhaps only Chu Hongyi had this doubt in her heart.

Huainan King Xuanyuan Sheng guarded Huainan for 20 years, and he was strict in military management. He was not indulgent in teaching his only legitimate son. As his only son, Xuanyuan Yao practiced martial arts since he was a child, was familiar with military books and strategies, and received the same training as the Huainan Army. His father's requirements for him were even more stringent than those for other generals.

Xuanyuan Yao is a martial arts master. He leads the Black Obsidian Army at the age of less than twenty. It is not because he is the prince, but because he has strong enough military and political strategies and the ability to control his subordinates, which can make his soldiers convinced.

Judging from his performance in the military camp today, Xuanyuan Yao has a gentle and handsome appearance, and a humble and restrained character. Although he briefly revealed his unruly side, Chu Hongyi felt that it was not the real him.

She saw more of this young general who was open and honest, responsible, well-educated, and aristocratic in his words and deeds. Overall, he had no reason to make such a childish act of provoking and making trouble in the military camp.

An outstanding military general is smart and sharp most of the time. Although they disdain the intrigues in the officialdom, it does not mean that they are people who can be fooled. At least in the case of Xuanyuan Yao, she has roughly guessed a little truth.

It's just that she won't easily say what she thinks.

It doesn't take long to beat forty sticks, and it's over soon.

Chu Hongyi reorganized her army and brought the soldiers back to the barracks of the Huben Army. The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty quickly restored their usual order.

The Huainan Army was led by two trusted generals under Xuanyuan Yao, who maintained the necessary rigor.

The punished Ling Fan and Xuanyuan Yao were helped into the barracks of the commander-in-chief, and were treated by the military doctor first. After the treatment of the injury was completed, Rong Yu handed Ling Fan a glass of water.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ling Fan's face was pale and his hair was wet. "I'm fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Rong Yu remained silent, his expression looked colder than usual. After he drank a glass of water, he said lightly: "Rest first, I will let Qingyang take care of you."

Ling Fan naturally did not dare to go against him at this time. He thanked him respectfully and lay down on the bed obediently.

Rong Yu put down the cup, turned around and walked out.

The guards outside the tent bowed their heads in fear when they saw him, and dared to stand up after he left.

Xuanyuan Yao's barracks were next to Ling Fan's, separated by two walls. When Rong Yu entered, the military doctor was still applying medicine to him. The young man lay quietly on the bed, with terrible swelling marks on his thin and tight back, which looked particularly shocking against his originally fair skin.

Xuanyuan Yao's personal guards served diligently by his side.

The cold and chilly breath lingered around him. Xuanyuan Yao turned his head as if he had noticed something. The sweat on his forehead had wet the pillow, and his eyelashes were wet. His pale and delicate face looked a little weak.

The moment he saw Rong Yu, he pursed his lips slightly, his eyebrows and eyes subconsciously fell, and he said lightly: "You all go out."

"My Lord, the medicine is not applied yet..." The personal guard's face changed, and he looked at Rong Yu with some vigilance. In fact, he was worried that Rong Yu would harm his Lord.

Xuanyuan Yao said: "Go out."

Rong Yu took the ointment from the military doctor and sat on the edge of the bed, "Go out, don't let anyone in."

The guard had to agree. Although he was worried, he didn't dare to disobey his master's order, so he had to take the military doctor out first.

The barracks fell into a brief silence.

Rong Yu skillfully applied the ointment on the scars on Xuanyuan Yao's back, not caring that the young man's nerves were tense, and his voice was indifferent and ruthless: "You didn't hit me enough. If it weren't for Xi'er's words, I would have planned to break one of your legs today."

Although he applied the ointment skillfully, he was not gentle, and even deliberately increased the strength. Xuanyuan Yao was trembling with pain.

"I... I was a little impulsive, but I think this method can achieve the best results in the shortest time." The young man whispered, his voice trembling, "A little flesh wound in exchange for the obedience of all the soldiers in Dongling, this beating is worth it. The prince of Huainan, who holds 200,000 troops, was defeated by the regent and knelt down to accept the beating. Others will only be afraid and will not dare to rebel again."
