Chapter 96 You are good-looking
Lu Chenyang then looked hesitant: "Well... well, then I won't force you. But you should keep this medicine. Even if you are in good health, you still have to take care of yourself."
Zhao Xi immediately said, "Sir, should we not disturb the prince's rest?"
Lu Chenyang nodded: "Then you should have a good rest."
After Lu Chenyang finished speaking, he turned around and left with Zhao Xi.
Yan Xing turned his head and looked at Tingshu with a sinister look.
After listening to the book, he realized it belatedly. He picked up the medicine left by Lu Chenyang and muttered to himself, "County Magistrate Lu still doesn't understand the prince. Does the prince need it? He doesn't need it at all! The prince is in such good health. He is insulting him."
Yan Xing said expressionlessly, "Tingshu, do you want to go back to the capital?"
Tingshu was stunned: "Why?"
Yan Xing said coldly: "Because you talk too much!"
Listen to the book: “???”
Didn't he just defend the prince's heroism? Why did the prince despise him?
I felt very sad after listening to the book. I felt that being a servant was really not easy.
At night, Yan Xing just took off his coat, revealing the wound on his arm.
The injury is indeed not serious. I don’t need to apply any medicine and the bleeding has stopped.
He looked at the wound and frowned. He wasn't usually this delicate, so what was wrong with him today?
Just as he was thinking, a little head popped out from behind the door, and Lu Chenyang asked, "My Lord...I'm glad you haven't slept yet."
Yan Xing didn't expect him to come back: "Why are you here?"
Lu Chenyang walked right in. "Let me apply some medicine to you." He kept on mumbling, "You're injured, how can you not apply medicine? Doesn't that sound unreasonable? You're already a grown man, why are you still afraid of taking medicine? If you're injured, you should treat it properly. This won't hinder your heroic spirit."
Yan Xing pursed his lips and whispered, "But no one applied medicine to me."
His eyebrows were drooping, and for some reason he revealed a sense of grievance while pretending to be strong.
The scholar's imagination began to take off at this time. Lu Chenyang had already imagined a drama in which he dared not cry out in pain or complain, and could only endure the injury alone!
Lu Chenyang was heartbroken.
"I'll apply medicine for you later!" Lu Chenyang said immediately.
If Tingshu were here, he would only feel more wronged. How could the prince not see him, a grown man like him? He could say such heartbreaking words as "no one gave him medicine"!
Yan Xing curled the corners of his lips, but still pretended to say, "This isn't very good. Will it be too much trouble for Lord Lu?"
Lu Chenyang saw it, but thinking that Yan Xing could be coaxed into happiness with just sweet words, he remained patient.
"It's not a trouble. How could it be a trouble? I do it willingly." Lu Chenyang said confidently.
Yan Xing then nodded with a proud and noble look on his face: "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Lu."
Lu Chenyang went to get a basin of water and carefully used his handkerchief to clean the blood from his wound.
He moved very carefully, afraid of hurting him.
Yan Xing stared at him in a daze. He was concentrating on applying medicine to himself with such a solemn expression, as if he was doing something sacred.
He suddenly felt an itch at the wound.
His cool fingertips brushed across his skin, causing Yan Xing's whole body to tense up suddenly.
Lu Chenyang immediately looked at him nervously: "Does it hurt?"
Yan Xing pursed his lips and used all his strength to control his voice, "No."
Lu Chenyang frowned. "It must be very painful, but you still don't apply medicine? How can you not take care of yourself?"
Lu Chenyang's grandfather's family are all doctors. Lu Chenyang has heard them talking about patients like this since he was a child. He is used to it and just talks about Yan Xing like this.
But Yan Xing felt that Lu Chenyang cared about him, otherwise why wouldn't Lu Chenyang talk about others?
His tone sounded like he was blaming his husband.
Yan Xing's heart suddenly started beating like a drum.
"Next time...next time I won't do that." Yan Xing said softly, "I'll be careful."
Lu Chenyang glanced at him and sighed helplessly.
"I know you went to the battlefield to defend your country, but you should also take care of yourself." Lu Chenyang said, "I'm afraid this wound will leave a scar. I'll get you some ointment to remove the scar later."
Yan Xing couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so delicate? It's not a big deal for a man to have some scars on his body."
Lu Chenyang said casually, "How can that be possible? Our prince is so handsome and strong, how can he leave scars? Wouldn't that be a waste of a natural gift?"
When Lu Chenyang was at home, he often helped his mother coax patients into taking their medicine. There were many children and young ladies who didn't like taking medicine, and Lu Chenyang was used to it, readily spouting sweet nothings.
Yan Xing was shocked. He said he was beautiful!
Yan Xing's face flushed slightly, but he puffed out his chest: "...Chen Yang is also...good-looking."
Lu Chenyang couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "I... I look okay, right?"
Yan Xing said seriously, "You are very pretty, especially very pretty. With your looks, even if you are not outstanding in literary talent, you can still be a top scholar."
Lu Chenyang coughed lightly and looked at him with bright eyes. I love to listen, I like to listen, say more.
The two people praised each other and both thought the other was extremely good-looking.
Lu Chenyang was so happy that he tied a beautiful knot on the bandage that covered his wound.
Lu Chenyang stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll be leaving first. Go to bed early and don't stay up late."
Yan Xing was a little reluctant, "Why don't you sleep here too?"
Lu Chenyang was afraid that Zhao Xi would find out and poison him the next day.
He shook his head: "You have a good rest."
Yan Xing watched him leave, lowered her head to look at the knot he tied, pursed her lips, her heart full of sweetness.
Yan Xing was in high spirits and the rebels were defeated step by step, but they refused to retreat.
Then after this death, the rebels wrote a letter asking for peace.
As long as the provincial capital is willing to provide a batch of food and fodder, they will withdraw their troops immediately.
When Lu Chenyang received the letter, he was furious. "Shameless! This is robbery! When they run out of food, will they come again?"
Yan Xing also nodded: "We can't compromise. We haven't lost yet. But..."
Tan Feng asked, "Just what?"
Lu Chenyang said coldly: "I just don't know what the governor is thinking."
He has no say in this matter; it has to be decided by Yan Yuanjie.
Yan Yuanjie's goal was very clear: as long as they were willing to withdraw, anything would be fine.
So Yan Yuanjie was tempted. The amount they offered was not much and they could definitely afford it.
Lu Chenyang was worried that he would agree, so he immediately rushed to the governor's mansion.
Yan Yuanjie was still very enthusiastic when he saw Lu Chenyang: "Brother Lu, come and sit down. Look at you, you have become darker and thinner these days. Have dinner with me today, you must eat well."
Lu Chenyang bowed and patiently exchanged pleasantries with him, "Thank you for your concern, sir. Sir, the rebels have sent a letter of peace, what do you think?"
Yan Yuanjie thought for a moment and said, "Watching Brother Lu's troops fighting outside the city these past few days, I've been heartbroken every moment. They are all civilians under our rule! Whose sons and husbands are they? If they were killed or injured on the battlefield, how would I explain this to their families? So, I've thought about it and feel that this peace proposal is not impossible."
Lu Chenyang said quickly, "Your Excellency, this is unacceptable! Your Excellency, if we give in this time, won't they come back to blackmail us next time? How many days will this food and fodder last? If it's gone, won't they come back again? These people are already rebels. How can we allow them to challenge the prestige of our country?! If we don't completely eradicate them, where will the Emperor's dignity be?"
Lu Chenyang looked at Yan Yuanjie with a stern expression, and Yan Yuanjie was a little impatient.
How could he not know that Lu Chenyang's words made sense? But the emperor was far away and didn't know anything about it. In fact, Yan Yuanjie had no intention of reporting the rebellion to the emperor at all!
Lingnan is so far away from the capital, by the time his memorial was delivered, he would probably have been reincarnated.
Therefore, Yan Yuanjie was very clear that he had to be self-reliant and strong, so he drove the people away, and then covered up the situation and pretended that nothing had happened, and he remained the governor of Lingnan.
The majesty of the emperor, the majesty of the great man, as long as the emperor doesn't know, the world will remain clear.
