Chapter 496 You Misunderstood Her
When he finally completed five hundred strikes, he felt as if all his bones had been pulled out, and he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
At this time, Nan Yan walked over: "Your Highness, Xiaoyu."
Ran Xiaoyu turned around and looked at her: "Nan Yan, you are here."
"What's going on here?"
"The Emperor suddenly called me over to supervise His Highness's martial arts training. He said he had to chop wooden stakes 500 times a day, do horse stance for an hour, and also practice swordsmanship, archery, spears, and sticks...all of these things had to be practiced."
"ah?"
Nan Yan was shocked. How could such a thin child do such heavy homework?
Zhu Chengxuan was so aggrieved that he kept crying. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said softly, "My father said that he wants me to go up to the city and kill the enemy."
"What?"
Nan Yan was even more stunned.
How could such a young child go up to the city and kill the enemy?
She thought for a moment and hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Your Highness. The Emperor probably just wants to urge you to practice martial arts. He won't really let you go into the city to kill the enemy...right?"
Zhu Chengxuan raised his red eyes and looked at her.
Feeling that his gaze was a little strange, Nan Yan was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?"
Zhu Chengxuan bit his lower lip and said, "Madam Si, didn't we agree not to tell Father?"
"Why?"
"Why did you tell Father?"
Nan Yan looked at him stupidly. After a while, she realized something in her mind: "Your Highness, are you talking about the time you gave me medicine yesterday?"
"What else?"
Zhu Chengxuan wiped his eyes with his sleeve, sniffed his red nose, and said, "I, trust you so much."
Nan Yan hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I didn't tell the Emperor."
"Then how did Father know?"
“…”
Nan Yan was stunned.
She did not tell Zhu Feng, but how could Zhu Feng know?
She was about to say something to Zhu Chengxuan, but the boy had already gritted his teeth and got up from the ground and said to Ran Xiaoyu, "Sister Ran, let's continue practicing."
Ran Xiaoyu glanced at Nan Yan.
Nan Yan also looked at her, but said nothing and quietly left the courtyard.
Ran Xiaoyu remained silent. She walked to the weapon rack and pulled out a short sword specially made for young men. She handed it to Zhu Chengxuan, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Your Highness."
"Um?"
"Although I don't know why the emperor knew about that, I can assure you that it was definitely not Nan Yan who said it."
“…”
"Even if the Emperor really interrogates her, as long as she agrees to you, she won't reveal a single word even if she risks being severely punished by the Emperor."
“…”
"You blamed her wrongly."
Zhu Chengxuan was stunned for a moment: "But, but——"
Ran Xiaoyu said simply: "However, I have no basis, I just believe her, so I can only say this to Your Highness."
“…”
"Let's continue practicing."
After saying that, she stopped mentioning the matter and instead supervised Zhu Chengxuan to continue practicing.
This training lasted for a full half hour. When Zhu Chengxuan fell to the ground exhausted and couldn't even get up, it was already noon.
He cried, "Sister Ran, I really don't have the strength anymore."
He was always kind to his servants and never bullied others. In addition, this palace maid was assigned by Zhu Feng himself to supervise her, so he dared not disobey.
The weaknesses of youth are all exposed.
Seeing him crying, Ran Xiaoyu's cold face showed no expression. She just sighed softly and stepped forward to hold out her hand to him: "Your Highness, please stand up first."
At this moment, a stern voice suddenly came from behind -
"Who are you?"
