Chapter 572: Prince Wei Was Fired

The air seemed to freeze for an instant.

Xuanyuan Yao's face changed slightly, and he didn't have time to wait for Xie Jin to slow down. He picked him up very quickly and put him on the couch, regardless of how Xie Jin felt now.

After turning around and walking a few steps forward, Xuanyuan Yao lifted his robe and knelt down: "Your Majesty."

"Very busy?" Rong Yu's eyes were cold: "Do you need me to give you a little more time?"

Xuanyuan Yao lowered his eyes: "I know my mistake, please punish me."

Xie Jin lay down on the couch obediently. Even though he was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his chest, he kept the little leopard's words in mind. He bowed his head and admitted his mistake and remained silent. He must not earn him more punishment.

Rong Yu walked in: "I heard that you have been slacking off a lot recently."

Xie Jin's heart tightened.

"I know I was wrong." Xuanyuan Yao's face turned slightly pale, but he did not dare to defend himself at all, "Please take responsibility, my lord."

"Take off your robe and stand on your head against the wall."

"yes."

Xuanyuan Yao neatly took off his outer robe, walked to the wall, put his hands on the ground, turned his body vigorously, and stood up steadily.

Although he was leaning against the wall, his body did not dare to use the wall's strength at all. He was only supported steadily by his hands and stood upright.

Rong Yu took out a cane from the bucket, wiped away the water stains, walked behind him, raised his hand and struck the cane.

Snap!

Pain spread across his buttocks. Xuanyuan Yao adjusted his breathing, but his body still stood firmly in a straight line without even the slightest tremor.

Xie Jin's scalp went numb when he heard the sound, and he bit his pillow unconsciously, fearing that he would accidentally make a sound.

Xuanyuan Yao didn't react at all and let the cane fall on his buttocks and legs.

Rong Yu was beaten more than twenty times.

Yes, just about twenty times, and then threw the cane back into the bucket.

"Come down."

Xuanyuan Yao was surprised. He turned over neatly and knelt firmly on the ground again, as if the cane was just tickling him.

Of course it hurts.

Rong Yu never said anything about letting go when he took action.

But this pain was nothing to Xuanyuan Yao. Except for a slight sweat on his forehead, his breathing rate did not even change.

Carefully raising his eyes to look at Rong Yu, Xuanyuan Yao said respectfully: "I neglected my duties and left the military camp without authorization. I violated military discipline. I hope that the Lord will take heavy responsibility."

Rong Yu said calmly: "This barrel of rattan is prepared for you. Do you think you can escape?"

Xuanyuan Yao lowered his head: "Yes."

"I'm tired, I owe you the punishment you deserve." Rong Yu sat in the chair, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Next time if you do it again, you can try to see whether the torture instrument is more powerful, or whether your bones are harder some."

Xie Jin's mind suddenly relaxed and he slowly let go of the pillow he was biting, feeling a little surprised and a little surprised.

"My bones are definitely not as powerful as the instruments of torture." Xuanyuan Yao said in a good tone, "I will never do it again in the future. Thank you, Lord, for your forgiveness."

Then I thought that Rong Yu came back with His Majesty yesterday. He first discussed matters with the ministers, then cleaned up Xie Jin overnight, and went to court early in the morning to discuss matters. He hadn't had much rest yet, and he couldn't help but feel guilty again.

I want to say something, but I feel like everything is superfluous.

"From now on, the meeting place will be moved to the Qinzheng Hall, and this royal study is reserved for you two." Rong Yu said in a calm voice, "The cane can be soaked at any time. If you are itchy, feel free to challenge me. I don't mind loosening it for you every now and then." Loosen the muscles and bones.”

Xuanyuan Yao's scalp felt numb: "I don't dare."

This treatment is so good that it is too good for people to tolerate.

Xie Jin broke two canes for his first offense, and he just heard that there were originally five canes. The master was merciful and only punished half, otherwise Xie Jin would really need to be carried back to Xie's house now.

Based on Xuanyuan Yao's understanding of Rong Yu, it was really not easy for the head of his family to pay this debt. It was a knife hanging above his head. If he dared to do it again next time, he would definitely not be so easy to talk to.

If you offend again, the penalty will be doubled, and you will have to double what you owe, and there will be no chance of forgiveness midway.

Just thinking about this number is terrifying.

Xuanyuan Yao decided to break up with Xie Jin and tell him to behave better in the future and not be so stupid.

Rong Yu never liked verbal threats. The purpose of warning was achieved, and he asked Xuanyuan Yao about the progress of his military training. It was as he expected.

As for staying up all night because of worry last night, Rong Yu didn't blame him too much and just said: "Send Xie Jin back to rest."

"Yes." Xuanyuan Yao pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, "Chen...can you stay and take care of him for a day? Ajin is thin-skinned..."

"Don't make mistakes if you are thin-skinned." Rong Yu said in a cold voice, "Now you know how embarrassing it is?"

Xie Jin didn't dare to speak.

Xuanyuan Yao secretly thought, didn't the Lord also do it himself in order to protect Ah Jin's pride? The treatment for the injury was sent to Chu Nanyi, who was not named.

If the imperial doctor had been allowed to treat the injury, the news of the punishment of the legitimate son of the Xie family would have spread to countless people, and speculations would abound, including those who were joking and others who speculated that Xie Jin had fallen out of favor.

In short, there are only a few people outside who are looking forward to good things for Xie Jin, and those who add insult to injury are probably the majority.

But he could think about it in his mind, but he still didn't dare to say it directly.

"I'll give each of you three days off." Rong Yu finally relaxed, "Just stay at home to recuperate, and don't worry about outside matters. If you really can't take any time off, you'll be on duty in the palace tomorrow."

Things outside?

Xuanyuan Yao was confused, but he didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Lord."

Xie Jin was injured and would definitely not be able to ride a horse, so he could only ride in a carriage.

Not long after Rong Yu left, Chu Nanyi knocked on the door and came in, bringing Xie Jin a set of clean clothes. Xie Jin lay on the couch, "You go to Yaoyao to check his injuries first."

Xuanyuan Yao frowned: "I'm fine, no need to check."

"I think Prince Yao should be fine." Chu Nanyi said in a gentle tone, "He can walk and jump, and looks free to move. What's so good about it?"

Xie Jin was silent for a moment, and didn't know what he thought of. For the first time in his life, he didn't insist.

Xuanyuan Yao, a dignified military commander, had to do the work of a servant. He and Chu Nanyi helped Xie Jin put on his clothes and helped him down: "Can you walk?"

Xie Jin stood quietly for a moment and found that the pain was completely gone, but he was not a squeamish young man who couldn't bear any hardship. He bit his teeth gently and nodded slowly: "It's okay, you can walk."

But in fact, it was very hard to walk.

Every step pulled the wound behind him, causing dizzy pain. Fortunately, the carriage was parked in the open space not far from the imperial study. Chu Nanyi and Xuanyuan Yao were watching him from left and right. Xie Jin finally walked to the carriage alone.

Except for his pale face, his walking posture was normal.

After staying in the imperial study for a day and a night, Xie Jin was isolated from the world and knew nothing about what was happening outside. When Xuanyuan Yao entered the palace in the morning, it was still calm outside. It was not until they left the palace that they knew what Rong Yu meant by asking them not to care about what was happening outside.

The Prince of Wei's Mansion was raided!
