The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

After Shen Ruzhou left, the Regent's Palace fell into silence.

Qin Ming walked up to Beixiu Banquet and reported in a low voice, "Your Highness, Your Highness wants to search the palace."

"Oh?" Bei Xiuyan glanced coldly at the guards behind Xiao Chenyan, and finally laid his eyes on Xiao Chenyan, waiting for him to give a reason.

"I suspected that Xiao Ruohan was hiding in the house, so I brought Mr. Liu from Dali Temple to search." Xiao Chenyan raised his eyebrows and looked domineering.

Then, Mr. Liu from Dali Temple came out from behind Xiao Chenyan, bowed deeply to Beixiu Banquet, and said politely: "Your Majesty, harboring an orphan from the previous dynasty is a serious crime. I will search the Regent's Mansion. If it's not found, it's okay." I wish you were innocent."

"In that case, Sir Liu, please excuse me." Beixiu Yan was very cooperative and even asked Qin Ming to serve tea in the living room.

Xiao Chenyan and Beixiu sat down at the banquet, holding tea and each having their own thoughts.

Master Liu felt that he could not afford to offend either of these two great gods, so he wisely withdrew and went to search with his guards.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, Mr. Liu walked into the main hall with his hands on his chest and an expression full of pain.

"Master Liu, what's going on?" Xiao Chenyan put down the tea cup and asked.

Mr. Liu secretly glanced at the Beixiu Banquet and replied, "Your Highness, I took people to the backyard. Unexpectedly, Young Master Lu came up and kicked me. His internal organs were almost crushed to pieces."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huaining walked in carelessly, with the unique arrogance of a young man showing that he was fearless.

"You are seeking death on your own. How could anyone search the regent's palace if they want to?"

"Bang." Beixiu Yan placed the tea cup heavily on the table and shouted sternly, "Don't mess around before the prince comes."

"Nonsense?" Xiao Chenyan's lips curved into a sneer, "I came to investigate the remnants of the previous dynasty, but Lu Huaining stopped me and even injured Mr. Liu. This is not nonsense."

"You don't take this palace seriously at all." Xiao Chenyan slammed the table, showing the prince's majesty.

"Huaining, apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Liu." Bei Xiuyan's words made Lu Huaining suspect that there was something wrong with his ears.

Why was Master so weak today? Not only did he let these people search the house, but he also asked him to apologize.

No matter what happened before, Master always stood by his side and helped him speak up and defend him.

Lu Huaining held his head up stubbornly and pouted, "Master, I'm right."

"If you don't apologize, get out of the Regent's Palace. I will treat you as my apprentice." Bei Xiuyan said so harshly that even Xiao Chenyan next to him was slightly startled after hearing this.

Lu Huaining's face turned pale with fright, and there was a glimmer of water in his eyes.

Looking at his master's stern look, he no longer dared to be disobedient. He gritted his teeth and saluted Xiao Chenyan and Mr. Liu, then apologized, "It was Huaining who was reckless and offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Liu. I hope you two will not talk to me." General knowledge."

Xiao Chenyan felt proud that this arrogant young man had always been rude in front of him, and now he was taking the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

"It's nothing wrong with me. It's just that Mr. Liu was injured by Young Master Lu. It can't be settled with a light apology."

"Master Liu, what should be the punishment for obstructing official duties and injuring an official of the court?" Xiao Chenyan turned to look at Master Liu.

Mr. Liu cupped his hands and said, "According to the law, you should be punished with forty blows."

After saying that, he glanced at Bei Xiuyan from the corner of his eye, and was afraid that he would hold a grudge against her, so he quickly added, "Well, even though I was kicked by Young Master Lu, I was not seriously injured. I can handle it lightly as appropriate." .”

Seeing Mr. Liu's cowardice, a flash of contempt flashed in Xiao Chenyan's eyes, and he said coldly: "In that case, let the regent handle it on his own."

Bei Xiuyan pondered for a moment and said, "Huai Ning is still young and his bones have not grown strong yet, so he cannot bear the pain."

Hearing this, Lu Huaining felt happy. Master still defended him after all, but this joy did not last for a moment. Bei Xiuyan's next words made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.

"Just give him forty strokes."

Xiao Chenyan nodded with satisfaction and raised his eyes towards Jun Wuyi. Jun Wu immediately called two guards to take Lu Huaining down to be punished.

Qin Ming looked at the young master's thin back as he walked out of the main hall, his eyes full of heartache, and asked Bei Xiuyan for instructions in a low voice, "Your Majesty, young master..."

Before the words of mercy could be uttered, Bei Xiuyan shot a sword in the eye, and Qin Ming quickly shut up.

Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes and said to Jun Wu: "Take people to search the regent's palace inside and outside. Don't miss any corner."

"Yes." Jun Wu took the order and took the guards down to search.

Xiao Chenyan took a sip of the tea, looked at Lu Huaining who was doing handiwork in the yard, and praised: "The regent really raised a good apprentice. His hands were swollen, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word."

"If you do something wrong, you have to be punished. No matter how painful it is, you have to endure it. Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if you screamed and screamed?" Bei Xiuyan lowered his head, fiddled with the finger on his hand, and his voice was cold as if saying He is not his beloved disciple, but an unrelated person.

Half an hour later, Jun Wu came back with someone to report: "Your Highness, we searched everything and found no one."

"Prince Regent, do you think Xiao Ruohan is hiding in the military camp?" When he didn't find anyone, Xiao Chenyan didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he went even further and held a banquet to the north to express his intention to search the military camp.

"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, so we'd better search them all..." I thought I would have to waste more words, but I didn't want to say anything. Beixiu Yan simply took off the token from his waist and put it on the table. superior.

"Those who purify themselves will purify themselves. Your Highness the Prince, feel free to search for them."

"Regent, please be happy." Xiao Chenyan grabbed the token on the table and left with the others.

After leaving the mansion, Jun Wu turned around and glanced back at the majestic Regent's Palace, and whispered in Xiao Chenyan's ear: "Your Majesty, why are the Regent so cooperative today?"

Xiao Chenyan snorted coldly, "This is what he calls understanding current affairs. Now that I am the crown prince, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a minister. The dignity of the monarch and his ministers is there, so he cannot help but cooperate."

After saying that, he got on his horse and led the people to the military camp.

In the mansion, Lu Huaining stood in the yard with his head drooped and two red and swollen palms raised, as if he was petrified and motionless.

Bei Xiuyan walked up to him and stretched out his hand to rub his head out of habit. Lu Huaining turned aside and hid.

Bei Xiuyan retracted his hand, threw his sleeves behind his back, and ordered Qin Ming, "Take the young master down to apply the medicine."

Before Qin Ming could step forward, Lu Huaining's roar rang in his ears.

"Master is so afraid of Xiao Chenyan?" Lu Huaining opened his mouth, and there was bright red blood between his teeth.

Bei Xiuyan's heart was severely pinched, but his face showed no emotion, "He is the prince and the heir apparent."

"So what, I don't care." Lu Huaining shouted, turned around and ran away.

"Young Master." Qin Ming shouted, but Lu Huaining didn't turn around. He turned to the Beixiu Banquet and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master is young and energetic. He just acted a little recklessly today. You shouldn't be punished so harshly." of."

Bei Xiuyan raised his eyes and looked at the majestic palace in the distance. The sadness in his heart finally turned into a gentle sigh.

"The edge of a sword is sharpened, and it's time to sharpen his temper."
