After the princess entered the palace, the war god prince broke his back

Sensing the cold and stern aura emanating from the King of Yan, Doctor Wen swallowed his saliva and bowed his head, saying, "If your Majesty is alright, I will take my leave. The patient is still in danger of death and is in very critical condition."

Only after he heard the emperor say "hmm" did he stand up and leave.

As he was leaving, he heard King Yu pleading for Chu Ziyu.

Outside the palace, Su Xi looked at Chu Ziyu's pale face and asked worriedly, "Nanyue, your elder brother..."

Her eyes were red and she couldn't bear to say the second half of the sentence.

While helping Chu Ziyu deal with his bloody right hand, Chu Nanyue said loudly, "His legs were already broken, and now even his right hand is broken. What difference does it make whether he wakes up or not?"

These eunuchs in the palace might be the emperor's eyes and ears.

Xiao Hanye's crime of fleeing the battlefield was enough to make him suffer, so how much could he do to defend Chu Ziyu?

She could only look for ways in many ways.

She had known Doctor Wen because of his bone setting for the empress dowager. Today, she saw that he came to treat her eldest brother, so she deliberately took out the antibiotics she had researched and gave them to Chu Ziyu to take.

As expected, every doctor has a desire for knowledge. When Dr. Wen talked about the functions of antibiotics, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

She gave him a bottle.

I hope he can tell the emperor that Chu Ziyu's condition is 70% true and 30% exaggerated.

She secretly stared at the door of the imperial study, and soon saw Doctor Wen coming out.

Before she even opened her mouth to ask, Doctor Wen replied in a low voice with an apologetic look on his face.

"I feel guilty for taking this bottle of medicine from Princess Yan. I don't need to say anything. The three princes inside are all speaking up for your elder brother. When I came out, Prince Yu was still begging for mercy."

"My Lord..."

Chu Nanyue murmured to herself, she thought she had no friendship with Xiao Junan, but he helped her again and again.

why?

He also wanted to ask her for something? Could it be that he was poisoned too?

Why didn't I let her meet him first?

He is as gentle as jade and ethereal. If I had met him first, he would definitely visit him three times at his cottage and show respect to him like Liu Bei did, right?

Why should she have to endure Xiao Hanye's changeable temper?

Just as she was feeling annoyed, she heard Su Xi's quiet reminder: "They are coming out."

Chu Nanyue did not raise her eyes, but tacitly focused on treating Chu Ziyu together with Doctor Wen.

When Xiao Hanye saw the dense beads of sweat oozing from Chu Nanyue's forehead, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. This little demon was really pretending.

He coughed lightly, and then said in a clear voice: "Ayue, the emperor has graciously allowed Chu Ziyu to return home."

Prince Ning reminded: "But if there is any new progress in the case in the future, Chu Ziyu must cooperate with the Dali Temple at any time, and he cannot leave Beijing during this period!"

Chu Nanyue thought about it and realized that this was the modern version of bail!

In fact, he was acquitted.

The emperor actually released Chu Ziyu, which far exceeded her original expectations.

She kowtowed and thanked him: "Your Majesty is wise. I thank you!"

At this time, a slightly embarrassed voice came from Xiao Hanye's direction: "Prince Yan, please!"

Only then did she raise her eyes and see the two imperial guards standing behind Xiao Hanye. Perhaps it was because Xiao Hanye was too tall and dazzling, she didn't see him just now.

And he was the only one with it, no one else had it behind them.

She felt vaguely uneasy.

Chu Zixun was already dead, and Chu Ziyu would rather die than confess, so the case became a headless one. In addition, the three kings pleaded for mercy, so it was natural for the emperor to pretend to be reluctant and let Chu Ziyu fend for himself.

But he still ordered that Xiao Hanye be beaten with thirty sticks.

Although there were reasons for everything, Xiao Hanye eventually deserted the battlefield and later caused a big commotion in the Dali Temple, hurting innocent people. Although he didn't care about the latter, he still mentioned it in order to shut Youyou up.

It was just right that these thirty lashes were used to shut up Prince Ning, Yao Wenhong and Shen Quan.

After all, it was a great shame and humiliation for the prince to be punished in public.

Xiao Yihang originally wanted to stand up and take the punishment for his fourth brother. His fourth brother was a marshal, how could he be punished in public? Anyway, he was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, so he didn't care.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he mentioned it, he was scolded by his father.

He also said that he couldn't bear to see his fourth brother being tortured, so he pulled a torture bench himself and asked two imperial guards to be beaten together.

Together? ...It's not a glorious thing. Will he agree to it?

He is thick-skinned, but in fact Xiao Hanye is even thicker-skinned than him!

Far from feeling humiliated, he thought the beating was just right.

He didn't want to attack Dongyu at this critical juncture. Why would he need this butcher knife to attack such a small ant country?

He has already made his arrangements, and will let his soldiers deal with it. He will then go and clean up the mess after the war is over.

A beating with a stick can make him stay and spend the first year with Chu Nanyue. It's worth it!

Maybe she will be touched and have a pleasant surprise?

After all, he was beaten for her.

Alas, who would have thought that the other person didn't appreciate it at all.

Seeing him taking off his shirt, revealing his well-developed mermaid line, and lying on the torture bench in the open space outside the imperial study, he left a word and hurried away with his own elder brother.

"After the prince has finished his execution, have the imperial physician Lao Wen apply medicine to his wounds!"

It was not convenient to watch the execution in this situation, so Xiao Jun'an tactfully informed them and left.

At this time, apart from the Imperial Guards, the only ones left were Doctor Wen who was waiting for treatment, Xiao Yihang who was ready to support at any time, and Prince Ning, Yao Wenhong and Shen Quan who stayed where they were to watch the fun.

Even the eunuchs who were cleaning the place were so smart that they didn't come here anymore.

What a joke! How dare they look at the naked upper body of the King of Yan? Don't they have eyes anymore?

The imperial guard holding the stick took a look at the three people who were supervising the execution, Prince Ning, Yao Wenhong, and Shen Quan, and said to Prince Yan in embarrassment: "Prince Yan...I am sorry for the crime!"

Xiao Hanye said meaningfully: "Hit carefully, don't let your eyes get dazzled!"

What a joke, he's not masochistic.

As he was in a higher position, he knew that caning required skills.

One is that the patient looks severely beaten and has torn skin and flesh, but in fact, it is only an external injury and the patient will be able to move freely in a few days.

One is that the beating looks light but in fact it has injured your muscles and bones, and you won’t be able to get out of bed for three to five months.

The last one is quite standard, somewhere in between the two.

The Imperial Guards are the ones who serve the emperor. Unless the emperor specifically instructs them to do so, they usually choose the last method of fighting without any personal feelings involved.

But since he is a prince today, it is a different matter. In fact, even if Prince Yan did not warn them, they would not dare to really fight.

After all, the emperor didn't give any instructions, and they were not stupid, so how could they dare not do the prince a favor? Otherwise, he could find any reason to take their lives one day.

So, the two of them looked at each other tacitly, then raised the court stick and hit him hard again and again.

"boom!"

"boom!"

......

The court stick fell on his back with a crackling sound, and the dull sound echoed outside the empty palace and into the imperial study.

The emperor's fingers holding the Langbo brush moved slightly, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.

Jiang Shou had served the emperor for many years, so he knew that he was just being cruel. He leaned over and poured a cup of tea, handed it to the emperor, and said slowly, "Since the Prince of Yan has admitted his fault and there are reasons for it, why not... pardon his punishment?"

The emperor snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "If he is not punished for his mistakes, won't he rebel against me in the future? It's just a few blows. He has thick skin and flesh. What is he afraid of? Is this tall and muscular body of his for nothing?"

Jiang Shou smiled and replied, "Your Majesty is right. The figure and appearance of the Prince of Yan are exactly the same as when you were young, and he is extremely powerful."

The emperor was in a rare good mood and teased him, "Am I shrunk now?"

Jiang Shou shook his head and chuckled: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and all the people must respect you!"

The emperor laughed loudly: "You old man, you always speak in such a roundabout way!"

What Jiang Shou said was true. The Prince of Yan was most like him not only in appearance but also in temperament. He was even more arrogant and calculating than he was when he was young, so his feelings towards him were very stiff and awkward.

He couldn't help but pay more attention to such a similar person...

However, he was worried about such ambition and temperament...

After all, he was not the child he had with the woman he loved…

In comparison, Xiao Jun'an's temperament is as open and honest as his mother, and he likes her even more!

Thinking of this, he put away his smile and concentrated on reviewing the memorials again.

Likewise, Xiao Yihang saw every blow of the caning in the court, and the corner of his mouth twitched with every blow.

After the beating, the corners of his mouth twitched as if it had formed muscle memory, and he spoke incoherently: "Well, you two... How dare you use such heavy hands!"

Look at what his fourth brother has been beaten into? His skin is torn and blood is all over the ground. Oh, no, that's a bit exaggerated. He was stained by the caning.

Prince Ning and the others stepped forward and looked at the torn Xiao Hanye, slowly curling the corners of his lips, and said condescendingly: "You should reflect on yourself when you are in a high position, and don't act recklessly. Today, the emperor is only punishing you lightly, just as a reminder to your fourth brother, don't make trouble again in the future!"

Normally he always looked up to Xiao Hanye, even though he was only a head shorter than Xiao Hanye, but for some reason he felt as if he was half a head shorter than Xiao Hanye. Today he finally got the chance to look down at him, but he still saw him lying on the torture bench with a pale face like a dog. How could he not take the opportunity to mock him to vent his anger for losing his military power?

Yao Wenhong glanced at his scalded feet and said, "Prince Yan, would you like me to call for a stretcher?"

Xiao Yihang raised his hand: "Master Yao, just call if you need it!"

Shen Quan was still not satisfied, and said sinisterly: "Prince Yan, don't forget your promise to Your Majesty. When Chu Zixun's body is delivered, I will conduct an autopsy!"

The emperor is a benevolent monarch and does not allow the corpse to be whipped, so there is nothing he can do!

After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily.

Doctor Wen knelt in front of the torture bench, looking at Xiao Hanye's torn back, and wanted to apply medicine to his wounds, but he was stopped by him in a low voice.

He poured out another vitamin and was about to feed it into his mouth, but he brushed it away again.

He quickly picked it up and said distressedly: "Lord Prince Yan, this was given to me by Princess Yan. I only have this small bottle, it is very precious."

Xiao Hanye said immediately after hearing this: "Bring it here!"

Doctor Wen's eyes lit up. Instead of giving him the pill that fell on the ground, he poured out another pill and handed it to him.

Xiao Hanye curled his lips and swallowed it directly.

Afterwards, he asked Xiao Yihang to send someone to call for a stretcher and have the person carried back.

Before leaving, he still said weakly: "Second brother, Lord Yao, if you want to come and visit me, just send someone to give me gifts. I am seriously injured and cannot see you! Goodbye!"

After saying this, he walked away in the stunned eyes of the two men.

They didn't expect Xiao Hanye to be so thick-skinned.

The very fact that he was humiliated made him show off his naked sense of superiority!

In fact, why did Xiao Hanye need to be carried? He was just pretending. After all, the two imperial guards had fought very hard.

Prince Ning and others were only concerned with laughing at Xiao Hanye, but they didn't know that Xiao Hanye had returned privately from the battlefield this time, and except for some minor punishments, he suffered no losses at all.

Not only that, that night, the Dongyu Kingdom sent troops to raid the West Sea just as Xiao Hanye had expected, but was instead surrounded by the Beilin Army, and 50,000 elite enemy troops were annihilated without even a single soldier being sent out. It was a small country to begin with, and it was suddenly on the verge of collapse.

When the news came back, the old emperor was in court and was immediately delighted.

He praised the King of Yan for his ability to plan and win the battle thousands of miles away.

Xiao Yihang raised his eyebrows and reminded: "Father, my fourth brother is still lying in the Prince of Yan's mansion groaning."

The old emperor's mouth twitched, and he coughed lightly: "Reward!"

So, Eunuch Jiang Shoujiang led a group of young eunuchs carrying boxes of gifts to the Prince of Yan's mansion to read out the imperial edict: "Your Majesty has ordered that the Prince of Yan is a god at using troops and has defeated the enemy without fighting. Therefore, he is rewarded with a hundred acres of fertile land, a box of gold and silver treasures, a thousand pieces of silk and satin, a pair of jade ruyi, several bottles of royal wound medicine, and a thousand-year-old human parameter..."

After the long list of rewards was read out, Eunuch Jiang's throat was smoking, and he didn't even get to see Prince Yan.

Butler Jiang pulled his wrinkled face and bowed his head and said, "Eunuch Jiang, my prince is lying on the bed with his upper body naked to recover from his injuries and cannot see anyone. Please forgive me. When my prince can get off the bed, he will go to the palace to express his gratitude as soon as possible!"

As he spoke, he stuffed several silver bills into Jiang Shou's hand.

Jiang Shou brushed away Butler Jiang's hand without leaving a trace, and chuckled, "Of course, recuperation is important. The emperor is very concerned about Prince Yan's injury. I hope Prince Yan will recover soon. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!"

He was able to become the chief steward of internal affairs because of his loyalty to the emperor and his extraordinary acuity, so how could he accept rewards from anyone other than the emperor?

Butler Jiang was also an insightful person. Seeing this, he naturally stopped being stubborn and respectfully escorted Jiang Shou out of Prince Yan's Mansion.

Then he recorded the rewards one by one in a book and put them into the warehouse. At the same time, he sent someone to report to Xiao Hanye.

In Beiyuan, Chu Nanyue had just reapplied medicine to Chu Ziyu and before he had time to drink a sip of water and take a breath, he heard an extremely panicked and urgent voice.

"Princess, come and see my prince...it seems like the bleeding won't stop!"

Chu Nanyue glanced at the sleeping Chu Ziyu, gave Sizhu a few instructions, then with a gloomy look in her eyes, she carried the medicine box and went to the main hall.
