Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Feng Yang was startled, and hurriedly explained: "Young Master Mingjian, that day when Lord Hou asked me about this matter, I originally wanted to evade it, but..."

But Lu Zheyu knew his father's interrogation methods the best. With side-talking and verbal threats, sooner or later he would be able to find out the truth.

Feng Yang said dejectedly: "This matter is related to your son, I was very cautious at first. But you know about Lord Hou's temperament, if I insist on not telling, he will send me to the military law office to torture and extract a confession..."

"Okay, okay." Lu Zheyu waved his hand weakly. "I'm just asking what you and my father said, and it's not about accountability. Why are you nervous?"

Feng Yang was very aggrieved, and said truthfully: "Master Hou heard from the servants that the young master brought a person back from Xingcheng, and asked me who I was. If I said it was someone else, Lord Hou would definitely not believe it. I can only say that it is the young master. My sweetheart. Who would have thought that His Royal Highness was really...death, and when he climbed over the wall and left the house, the Hou Ye just happened to see him, and the Hou Ye knew that he was the one brought back by the young master..."

Feng Yang lowered his head and said in a muffled voice: "However, this matter is still the fault of the last general. It has caused you to never see your sweetheart again. Please punish me."

Lu Zheyu sat in the bath, leaning against the wall of the pool, and pressed his temple feebly: "...That's all, this matter makes you embarrassed."

"Then yesterday, the general was called to the barracks by Lord Hou on the grounds of military affairs. I was locked in the barracks for a whole day, and was released by Lord Hou today... When I came back, I found that the little highness was gone. They belonged to the general." wrong……"

Lu Zheyu was slightly taken aback.He was locked in the study yesterday, except for his father, only Feng Yang had the key to the study. As a result, his father sent Feng Yang to the barracks, and when Yun Jing left the Hou's mansion, he released the two of them...

Lu Zheyu sneered inwardly, as expected of his father, who could come up with such a plan.

Lu Zheyu asked again: "Has Chu Heng come back today?"

"Ah? The last general didn't see him." Feng Yang said, "Didn't he go with that little Highness?"

"Shi Yunjing didn't take him away, so I asked him to find him along the way." Lu Zheyu sighed softly. "It seems that most of them were not found."

Feng Yang scratched his head and persuaded him: "If he leaves, he will definitely not be found so easily. But don't worry, my lord, the little Highness will definitely return to Chu State, and later..." Feng Yang hesitated for a moment, "Sure Is there still a chance to meet..."

Lu Zheyu leaned against the wall of the pool and slid down a little.The bathroom is surrounded by warmth, and the coldness on his body has almost dissipated.Mentioning Shi Yunjing again, Lu Zheyu's expression darkened slightly. He seemed to be used to having a piece of brown sugar sticking to him all the time, and someone's noisy voice. Now that the oil bottle suddenly disappeared, it made him feel like Feeling lost.

Seeing that the people stopped talking, Feng Yang who was outside the screen tentatively said: "If the young master has no other orders, the last general will retreat first. It seems that the Marquis still has something to discuss."

Lu Zheyu withdrew his thoughts and hummed lightly.Feng Yang bowed and saluted before leaving.Lu Zheyu stood up, raised her legs and stepped out of the bath, put on a bathrobe, dried her hair, put on clean clothes, and walked out of the bathroom.

Dingyuanhoufu.study.

Lu Chi frowned as he looked at the military newspaper that had just been delivered today.

"The movement in Beidi is getting bigger and bigger. They have been restless a few days ago. I didn't expect to be unable to hold back so soon." Lu Chi looked at the military newspaper and said in a deep voice.

Feng Yang stood aside, thought for a moment and said, "Not only that, but the scouts reported that they also sent spies to investigate our army stationed at the junction. What plan, we still have to plan early."

Lu Chi pondered for a moment: "Since the three-year truce, there have been fewer and fewer troops stationed at the border. If we send troops there again, we must select a general from the court. This matter must be reported to His Majesty."

Feng Yang nodded, but he looked worried: "Your Majesty is young and knows little about the Beidi War. According to His Majesty's temperament, I'm afraid he won't take this matter seriously..."

Lu Chi's eyes darkened, and he said, "I need to discuss it with some of my colleagues in the Ministry of War first, and I will bring this matter up with Your Majesty in the morning."

Feng Yang: "Master Hou is still thoughtful."

Lu Chi sighed lightly, took a half sip of tea, and asked, "What are Zheyu doing now?"

Feng Yang thought for a while, and said: "At the end of the day, I saw that it was Yan's carriage that brought the young master back. The young master should still be bathing and changing at this time."

Just as she was talking, a maid came in, bowed her head and said softly, "Master Hou, the young master is here."

Lu Chi frowned: "You son of a bitch, let him in."

Fearing that the fire at the city gate would harm Chi Yu, Feng Yang tentatively asked, "Then...the last general will retreat first?"

"You wait here." Lu Chi glanced sideways at him.

"Yes..." Feng Yang replied in a muffled voice.

Lu Zheyu came in, and after taking a bath and changing clothes, the embarrassment of the rain was swept away. He lifted his robe and knelt down, and said in a low voice: "Father, Zheyu came to make an apology."

Lu Chi snorted coldly: "You have such an idea, what kind of crime did you invite? I heard that you have already asked His Majesty to divorce the engagement yourself. With such ability, the old man can't control you anymore. Get out."

Lu Zheyu pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said, "Zheyu acted on his own without discussing with his father, and now he is at his disposal."

Feng Yang, who was standing by the side, sighed in his heart, son, son, Master Hou didn't say he would punish you, so why is he rushing to accept the crime.

Lu Chi said coldly: "You went to the imperial study to disobey the imperial decree. With such a great ability, I can't deal with you. Go out."

Lu Zheyu had already knelt in the rain for a long time in the morning, and now she was kneeling in the study again, but her knees felt more and more painful.He closed his eyes, leaned over and touched his fingertips on his forehead, and said in a low voice, "Zheyu really knows that he was wrong. If father is unwilling to commit the crime, Zheyu will go to the military camp to lead the law."

Feng Yang was shocked when he heard the words, and secretly prayed in his heart that Lord Hou would not really agree, the young master can really do what he says...

Lu Chi looked at him coldly and said, "Since you know your mistake, the old man will arrange a marriage for you tomorrow, do you want to or not?"

Lu Zheyu was startled, looked up at Lu Chi, and said, "Zheyu really doesn't want to marry, why should father make things difficult..."

"It's difficult for a strong man?" Lu Chi frowned, "I think you are thinking about that prince of Chu."

"I'm just a matter of loyalty, and I have no personal feelings for him. Now that he has returned to Chu State, I will also..." Lu Zheyu closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "There will be no more contact."

"I hope so." Lu Chi said coldly. "If you feel that you will feel better after receiving the punishment, this old man will help you. Come and bring the young master to the yard, and deal with it according to the family law."

Lu Zheyu saluted again by knocking his forehead to the ground, then got up, followed the two servants to the courtyard.

Feng Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the family law is not the military law, but this family law is not easy to bear.

Lu Chi was too lazy to watch his son lead the family law, so he got up and went straight back to the house.Feng Yang didn't want to leave, he had no choice but to order the servant girl to prepare the wound medicine and send it to the other garden.

Lu Zheyu took off his outer robe and knelt in the yard wearing only a middle coat. A servant held a whip and asked cautiously, "My lord, are you ready?"

Lu Zheyu nodded lightly: "Do it."

The two young servants carefully grasped their strength, swung their whips down, and hit Lu Zheyu's back with a slap, which made Feng Yang's heart twitch.

Lu Zheyu frowned and held back.

The whip was raised again, even though the servants had deliberately restrained their strength, the power of this method could not be ignored.Even if you don't see blood when you whip it down, you know it's not good just by hearing the sound.

The fabric on the back was ruffled and messed up. Although the injury couldn't be seen through the clothes, Lu Zheyu still felt the pain on his back was very sharp.After more than a dozen whips, Lu Zheyu's kneeling posture was almost unstable, and his body gradually leaned forward.

After the fifty lashes were finished, the two young servants stopped, bent over and stood beside Lu Zheyu and said respectfully, "My lord, the beating is over."

Feng Yang hurriedly stepped forward, stretching out his hand to help: "My lord, are you okay?"

Lu Zheyu's face was pale, and there was almost no blood on his lips. He pursed his lips, put his hand on Feng Yang's arm, stood up forcefully, frowned and said: "It's nothing."

Back at Tangli Pavilion, the maids had already prepared the wound medicine and brought them in. Lu Zheyu sat on the side of the small table and unbuttoned his clothes without saying a word, exposing his spine. Feng Yang looked at the criss-crossing whip marks on his back, Frowning and hissing softly, he hastily opened the medicine bottle and applied the medicine to him.

Looking at the wounds on his back, although the skin was not broken, every time the whip was whipped, there was a swollen scar, and the intersecting places were torn and slightly bloodstained.Even though such an injury was not worth mentioning in the army, Feng Yang still felt very distressed.After all, this is his little master.Feng Yang sighed lightly, and said in a muffled voice: "My lord, Lord Hou didn't say that he would punish you, why are you rushing to beg for a beating?"

The wound medicine touched the whip marks and stung his wound. Lu Zheyu frowned and said in a low voice: "You have been with my father longer than me. You know his temperament best. I have done this already. If you disobey him, if you don’t take the initiative to accept the crime, you will let him down for the second time.”

Feng Yang curled his lips, and became more cautious in his hands, lest he hurt him. "But Master Hou just wants to hit it twice. Even if the fifty lashes are raised well, there will definitely be marks."

Lu Zheyu said: "If you didn't tell him about Shi Yunjing and I, what happened today would not happen."

Feng Yang opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. With guilt in his heart, he concentrated on giving him the medicine.

Lu Zheyu frowned, and said again: "But why the teacher appeared outside the imperial study today, I am a little surprised."

Feng Yang said: "If Taifu Yan didn't meet the Young Master by accident, then someone deliberately told him, the old man, to let him make this trip to help the Young Master to intercede with His Majesty."

Lu Zheyu hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.Feng Yang glanced at him quietly, and said with a low smile: "Could this person be Mr. Yan? If that's the case, he would have thought in advance that Mr. Yan would be punished by His Majesty to kneel outside the hall, then he really cares more than his own father Son."

Lu Zheyu glanced sideways at him, and said coldly: "Say what you want to say, and go out if you feel weird."

Feng Yang curled his lips, and said in a low voice: "The general guessed, it must be that Lord Hou found out that the young master was missing after he came down to court. He guessed that the young master went to look for His Majesty, and then asked Taifu Yan to take such a trip."

Lu Zheyu also guessed this way, after all, except his father, no one could have imagined that he would anger Emperor Chongde and be punished in advance.

Feng Yang glanced at him, and said softly: "So it seems that Lord Hou still cares about Young Master..."

Lu Zhe didn't speak, and put on his clothes silently.

Feng Yang: "Hey son, I haven't finished taking the medicine yet..."

Lu Zheyu: "You talk too much, I don't want to take medicine anymore."

Feng Yang Zhang Er was puzzled: "Is the two related?"

Lu Zheyu was about to get up and go out, but a little maid came in suddenly and bowed: "My lord, the guard surnamed Chu is here."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheyu immediately said, "It's Chu Heng, let him in quickly."
