Chapter 571 Don’t I Have Any Dignity?

Although Rong Yu ordered not to give Xie Jin painkillers, the herbs Chu Nanyi used to apply the medicine to him contained some analgesic and hypnotic ingredients, but the amount was not much, so Xie Jin could only sleep for an hour.

An hour later, Xie Jin was awakened by the pain.

After waking up, he was naturally covered in cold sweat.

With his forehead against the pillow on the couch, he pursed his lips to endure the pain on his body. Xie Jin wanted to take a shower urgently. From last night to now, sweat had seeped out layer by layer, and his body was sticky and uncomfortable, but at the moment, taking a shower was obviously a luxury for him.

Xuanyuan Yao entered the palace at this time.

The little leopard who had not slept all night saw Chu Nanyi riding a horse to the military camp before dawn, and his pupils shrank slightly. At that moment, no one knew that his legs were soft.

After listening to Chu Nanyi's order calmly, he nodded: "Wait for me for a moment."

Turning around to the barracks to wash and change clothes, and telling several generals under his command not to delay the training, Xuanyuan Yao took a deep breath, and left the barracks with Chu Nanyi and rode towards the city.

After listening to Chu Nanyi's words on the road, Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "He was injured, why didn't he go back to rest?"

"You know Xie Jin's temper." Chu Nanyi said calmly, "He doesn't want to go back, who can persuade him?"

Xuanyuan Yao said nothing more and rode straight to the palace.

For Xuanyuan Yao, Chu Nanyi didn't need to remind him much. He knew Rong Yu's temper very well. He didn't need others to teach him what to do and what to say when he entered the palace.

Arriving at the palace, the sky was completely bright, and it was another sunny day.

He walked straight to the imperial study without stopping for a moment. When he opened the door and saw someone lying on the couch, Xuanyuan Yao frowned slightly, his eyes fell on the broken rattan sticks on the ground that no one had picked up yet, and he pursed his lips and quietly closed the door.

Xie Jin looked up when he heard the noise, and was slightly stunned when he saw Xuanyuan Yao, then he smiled: "Yaoyao."

Xuanyuan Yao hummed, walked over and stretched out his hand to lift the blanket covering him, and glanced at the injuries all over his body, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, nothing serious."

He was worried all night, and only at this moment did he feel relieved.

Xie Jin's expression was just like this.

"Why don't you go back and rest?" Xuanyuan Yao covered him with a blanket and frowned at Xie Jin. "I heard from Chu Nanyi that the master only gave you three days to rest. If you don't go back and take good care of yourself, your injuries will heal slowly. Will you be able to get up by then?"

Xie Jin stretched out his hand and held Xuanyuan Yao's hand hesitantly. Seeing that he didn't refuse, he was slightly happy: "I'm worried about you."

"What's there to worry about?" Xuanyuan Yao's eyes fell on his broken nails, and his brows frowned more tightly. "Did you have a hard time last night?"

"Not bad." Xie Jin didn't want to lose face in front of him, and his tone revealed a bit of indifference, "Whether it was hard or not, I got through it."

Xuanyuan Yao thought that Xie Jin was a powerful and noble son after all. He had been spoiled since childhood and had never been punished like this. He was probably a little uncomfortable.

Xuanyuan Yao raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said lightly: "Now that you have entered the court, you can't do whatever you want with the master. Don't be stupid again."

Xie Jin's expression became more and more subtle.

Hearing this, he actually felt that the little leopard was treating him as a child and was giving him advice.

He, the ninth master of the Xie family, who was often called a fox, was beaten last night. Could it be that he really became a weak young man who needed to be cared for?

However, Xie Jin thought about it and realized that what he did was indeed not what a normal smart person should do, or in other words, he thought he was smart but fell, and unfortunately fell into the hands of the master.

He will definitely not make such a mistake again in the future.

But this is not the point.

The point is that he obviously wanted to protect the little leopard, so why did the little leopard start to lecture him as soon as he entered the palace? It seemed that he was treating him as an ignorant child.

"How do you feel now?" Xuanyuan Yao turned his head and looked at the sky. "Do you want to eat something? Drink water? Do you want to get up and wash up?"

Xie Jin nodded: "Let someone get me some water. I want to wash up."

Xuanyuan Yao hummed, and told the palace servants waiting outside to bring the light food from the imperial kitchen, preferably liquid food, and prepare some warm water. Then he took care of Xie Jin himself for half an hour, took him to the toilet, washed him, washed his face and hands, and wiped all the places on his body that could be wiped with water.

Although it was painful and sweaty during the process, it finally cleaned up a little.

After Xie Jin ate a bowl of porridge, Chu Nanyi came to change his medicine according to the time. Xuanyuan Yao picked up the broken vines on the ground and said to Chu Nanyi: "Please send him back to rest. Keep him in Jinyuan for the next three days. Don't bother him anymore."

Xie Jin frowned slightly: "Yaoyao, I didn't say I wanted to go back."

Chu Nanyi ignored them, packed up the medicine box, turned around and walked out.

Xuanyuan Yao was puzzled: "The master has punished you, why are you still staying here?"

Isn't it better to go back to Jinyuan to rest? It's better to have servants and maids serving you than staying here.

Xie Jin pursed his lips: "I'm worried about you."

"What can I do if I'm worried?" Xuanyuan Yao frowned even more tightly, "The master just wants to ask me about the military camp. Are you afraid that the master will kill me?"

Xie Jin said calmly: "Did those days delay your progress?"

"A little bit." Xuanyuan Yao told the truth, "But it's not your fault. I violated military discipline by leaving the military camp without permission. It has nothing to do with you."

After a pause, "Besides, even if the master wants to punish me, you can't plead for me. What are you doing here?"

Xie Jin felt a little sour in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Xuanyuan Yao's expression straighten and emphasized seriously: "I remind you, if you don't want me to be abolished by the master today, you'd better shut up later."

Xie Jin was silent: "..."

"Don't be so unruly." Xuanyuan Yao said in a light tone, "I originally thought that the master would use the court stick on you when he was angry. I was worried all night last night. Now that I see that you are not seriously injured, I am relieved. Go back and rest first, get well soon and go to the palace to work, and don't challenge the master's temper again."

Xie Jin felt warm in his heart when he heard that he was worried all night, but he found that Xuanyuan Yao today was really different from the past. He was so serious that he was a little uncomfortable.

Maybe this is the real Xuanyuan Yao.

The little leopard raised in the iron-clad military camp does not allow any ambiguity when it comes to the rules. The shadow of the master can be vaguely seen on him.

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, and lay on the pillow somewhat powerlessly: "You can pretend that I don't exist, and I will pretend that I don't exist."

"No." Xuanyuan Yao said firmly, "You must go back."

Xie Jin frowned: "Why?"

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "Don't I want to save face?"

The originally serious atmosphere was instantly broken by this sentence. Xie Jin's expression paused, and then his phoenix eyes slightly curved, "Yaoyao."

Xuanyuan Yao stared at him angrily.

"Didn't I let you see it too?" Xie Jin sighed, took his hand and put it on his lips and kissed it, "We are also brothers in distress-"

"What are you doing?" Xuanyuan Yao was startled by his kiss, and subconsciously pulled back his hand, but he used too much force and accidentally brought Xie Jin down from the couch.

Bang!

"Um..." Xie Jin's face was pale, and his eyes were black in pain, and cold sweat was pouring out like soybeans.

Xuanyuan Yao was startled, and was about to bend down to help him, but he heard the sound of the door opening, and subconsciously turned his head.

Rong Yu, dressed in a black royal robe, stood in front of the door, looking at the scene in front of him with an expressionless face.
