Lock and secure

Bei Zhenting picked up Luo Yao, who struggled desperately. On the verge of exploding, Bei Zhenting threw Luo Yao back onto the blanket. Luo Yao propped himself up on the blanket, looking at the approaching Bei Zhenting and shrinking back in fear.

Bei Zhenting: "If you don't obey me, I will make sure you never see your brother again!"

Shameless! Despicable! Luo Yao glared at Bei Zhenting.

Bei Zhenting took the medicine and sat on the blanket.

Luo Yao looked at the black medicine and felt resistance in his heart.

Bei Zhenting had no intention of handing the medicine to him, and Luo Yao's heart began to beat fast.

Bei Zhenting wasn't going to feed him medicine...

"I'll drink it myself." Luo Yao raised his hand.

Bei Zhenting looked up at him without comment.

A burning pain came from his hands. Luo Yao raised his hands and saw that the fingertips of both hands were a little red, which was obviously a symptom of burns.

The burned fingertips were a little numb, but the pain was nothing compared to the pain in his waist. No wonder he didn't notice the injury on his hand for a while.

"I'll do it myself." Luo Yao reached out to take the medicine bowl from Bei Zhenting's hand. Bei Zhenting dodged his claws with an unhappy expression.

You didn't listen to him and ended up like this, and you still think you weren't hurt enough?!

Seeing that Bei Zhenting didn't let him do it himself, Luo Yao could only open his mouth and wait for Bei Zhenting to feed him the medicine.

Bei Zhenting thought of the scene of the ghost village with flames rising to the sky yesterday, and he felt angry, and his hands were not gentle at all.

Drinking the bitter medicine spoonful by spoonful was simply torture for Luo Yao. After drinking a few spoonfuls, he could no longer bear it and reached out to grab the medicine bowl.

Of course he couldn't snatch the medicine away, so Luo Yao grabbed Bei Zhenting's wrist with one hand and held the side of the bowl with the other, drinking the medicine in this weird posture.

This seemed to be the first time Luo Yao took the initiative to touch me...

Bei Zhenting looked at Luo Yao who was holding his wrist and drinking medicine in a daze.

After drinking the medicine, Bei Zhenting took the ointment.

"Take off your clothes."

"Huh?" Luo Yao was confused.

"Take off your clothes and apply medicine." Bei Zhenting repeated.

"I...I can do it myself!" Luo Yao said loudly.

"Take it off!" Bei Zhenting said in a firm tone, brooking no disobedience.

Luo Yao was afraid. Seeing that Bei Zhenting's patience was about to run out, he slowly turned sideways and pulled his clothes back to his waist.

At this angle, he was facing away from Bei Zhenting. Although he couldn't see Bei Zhenting's face, Luo Yao still couldn't help but feel nervous.

When the cold ointment touched the skin, Luo Yao's waist was too sensitive and she shuddered. Bei Zhenting's hands were suspended in the air, feeling a little funny.

The rough fingertips moved across his waist, their presence was too strong. Luo Yao closed his eyes and bit his lips, hoping that Bei Zhenting would finish wiping it quickly.

Bei Zhenting carefully wiped every wound and bruise, glancing at Luo Yao's red ears.

"After applying it, don't put on your clothes yet and wait for the medicine to dry for a while."

Bei Zhenting's voice didn't sound so harsh anymore. Luo Yao turned his head and looked at Bei Zhenting in confusion.

Bei Zhenting: "Turn around and wipe your legs."

Wipe your legs... Wipe your legs?!

Luo Yao quickly turned his head back, tightened his legs, and pretended that he didn't hear.

"Where on your body has this king not seen?"

Luo Yao remained unmoved and reached out to pull up his clothes.

Bei Zhenting grabbed his shoulders and turned him around, sighing, "You've been unconscious for two days. I gave you medicine three times a day during these two days."

Luo Yao's face was flushed with anxiety. Bei Zhenting's words made his ears red and blood dripped. He spoke incoherently: "I... I was unconscious for two days... Thank you for your care, Your Highness..."

The little look of him grabbing his clothes and lowering his head, not daring to look at people was so adorable. Bei Zhenting came over and bit Luo Yao's cheek. Luo Yao touched the half of his cheek that was kissed and was dazed, as if he was a little unhappy about having his face bitten.

Bei Zhenting patted his head, stuffed the ointment into his hand, stood up, and said in a bad tone, "If you want to apply the ointment yourself, then do it yourself."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

Bei Zhenting snorted coldly and turned to leave the tent.

Not knowing why Bei Zhenting snorted coldly, Luo Yao didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to apply the medicine quickly and go find his brother.

Just after applying the medicine, a little kid ran in crying.

"Chenchen!"

Luo Xinchen ran over and hugged Luo Yao, crying bitterly.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Luo Yao patted the little girl's back gently to comfort her.

Bei Zhenting walked into the house and saw Luo Xinchen crying while hugging Luo Yao, with half of his face darkened.

Luo Xinchen raised his little head from Luo Yao's arms and saw that it was the big devil. Even his sobs stopped.

Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting in confusion. Is his brother afraid of the prince?

Did the prince do something to his brother? Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting with a wary look.

"Come here." Bei Zhenting's voice was cold and without any warmth.

Luo Yao hugged his brother, "Chenchen won't go!"

The little girl wiped her tears and struggled. Luo Yao let go of Luo Xinchen. Luo Xinchen wiped his tears and walked to Bei Zhenting, lowering his head like a child who had done something wrong.

Luo Yao was worried about his brother and quickly put on his shoes.

"Don't your legs hurt?"

Luo Yao hissed and shook his head.

Bei Zhenting saw that he was being stubborn and didn't stop him, "Let's go out for dinner."

In the wilderness, the tents were simple, and the ground was the same as outside. Inside the tents was bare, without even a place to sit, but outside the tents there were a few stones that could serve as tables.

Luo Yao took Luo Xinchen's hand and walked slowly out of the tent. There were a few side dishes placed on a big stone at the entrance of the tent.

The three of them sat down on the small stools, and Luo Yao's eyes wandered between Luo Xinchen sitting opposite him and Bei Zhenting sitting next to him.

My younger brother doesn't even sit next to him anymore...

Bei Zhenting scooped a bowl of chicken soup and handed it to Luo Yao, "Have a bowl of hot soup."

It was indeed strange! Luo Yao took a sip of the chicken soup, his eyes darting around.

Luo Xinchen lay on the stone table and picked up a piece of meat for Luo Yao, "Brother, eat it."

Luo Yao stared at his brother's little face, trying to see something from it, but he saw nothing.

Luo Xinchen was no longer as slow when eating as before. He finished his meal quickly and left the table.

"Prince, brother, Chenchen went to practice sword."

Bei Zhenting nodded, without even looking at Luo Xinchen, and focused on picking up food for Luo Yao.

Luo Yao looked at his frail brother's lonely little figure and angrily looked at Bei Zhenting, "Did the prince say anything to Chenchen?"

Bei Zhenting: "As a man, he can't always rely on his brother for protection. I will make him practice hard."

"He's only five years old!" Luo Yao looked at Bei Zhenting angrily.

"This prince was already enlightened when he was five years old. He can recognize thousands of characters. He practices for two hours every morning and evening. His mind is much more mature than his."

Because you are not a human being! Luo Yao cursed in his heart, took two fierce bites of rice and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm done eating!"

Bei Zhenting: "After you finish eating, go back and rest. After two days of rest, we will set off to Qinlin County to deal with the affairs of Hualin Village."

"I'm not going. I want to take Chenchen back to Li County." Luo Yao refused without thinking.

"You don't have to go to Li County. I've already sent someone to escort the Duke and his party to Qingye Valley. Two days later, I'll send someone else to escort Luo Xinchen to the Hundred Diseases Forest to reunite with them."

"What do you mean?! Why do you make arrangements for me!" Luo Yao stood up suddenly.

"It's settled." Bei Zhenting looked at Luo Yao steadily and continued eating.

Luo Yao was furious, and a deep feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart. He didn't know how to respond for a moment. He stood there for a while. Seeing that Bei Zhenting had no intention of explaining to him, Luo Yao turned around and went into the tent angrily without saying a word.

Returning to the tent and curled up in the plush blanket, Luo Yao felt so aggrieved that he exploded.

My mind suddenly became narrow. I thought about a lot, but it seemed like I hadn't thought of anything. All I could think of was Bei Zhenting's condescending look when he said, "This matter is settled."

Why do you make the decision for him without discussing it with him or getting his consent?

The more he thought about it, the more wronged he felt. Some things that he hadn't recalled for a long time came to his mind. Luo Yao remembered what happened when he first arrived at the palace.

Bei Zhenting wouldn't let him eat at the table, banished him to live in the shabby house in the west courtyard, forbade him to leave the house, sent people to monitor him, stole his gold, treated him like a dog, and bullied him with the people in the house...

The more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and Luo Yao's eyes turned red.
