He was not trying to scare her, but he was accompanying the king like a tiger. Today there are many families that are prosperous, but in the future there will be too many families that will wither and be destroyed. To be loyal to the king, one needs to be careful and careful at all times to protect oneself.
Isn’t the Feng family a ready-made example?
When the emperor was fighting for the crown prince, the Feng family had the military power. Uncle Feng was the uncle of the current emperor and the elder brother of the queen mother. He was undoubtedly the emperor's most powerful supporter.
But what about now?
The throne of the emperor is secure, and his strongest supporter back then has now become a serious problem for the emperor. The emperor is waiting for an opportunity to find an excuse to get rid of the Feng family, waiting to give the Feng family a fatal blow at any time.
As both generals in charge of the military, the Xiao family and the Feng family are naturally hostile in the court, each serving the interests of the family.
But Xiao Yuanting understood in his heart that military power has been the most feared thing since ancient times. No matter what crime the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty committed, whether they were corrupt, perverting the law, or abusing power for personal gain, the most they could do was raid their homes and behead them.
But once it involves military power and is charged with rebellion, he will kill the nine tribes without mercy, staining the capital with blood, and making people frightened.
Today there are countless honors and favors, but there must be no excuse for disrespecting the king, otherwise this excuse will become a weapon to kill them in the future.
Xiao Yuanting closed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "How is Yun Heng's situation?"
Mrs. Xiao came back to her senses: "I...I don't know yet. I went to the princess's mansion when I got up in the morning. I just came back...has the imperial doctor come to treat Yun Heng's injuries?"
"Do you think Yun Heng is a relative of the emperor?" Xiao Yuanting frowned, hiding his displeasure in his eyes, "Just ask a doctor from outside to come and see him. The prince's favor does not mean that we can use the imperial doctor as a matter of course."
Mrs. Xiao's expression changed again and again. She could no longer sit still. She stood up and said, "I'm going to see Yun Heng."
She has been reprimanded one after another in the past two days. She, the wife of the house, has long lost her face. How can she still have any dignity and dignity?
Xiao Yuanting frowned deeply, stared at her retreating back in silence, and sighed deeply.
Simply exhausted.
Xiao Yuanting sat alone for a while and then walked out.
Xiao Yunheng has already woken up.
But his face was pale, his hair was a little messy, he looked weak and embarrassed, and he didn't have the heroic and proud aura of the past at all.
The maid held the cup of water and carefully fed it into his mouth. Xiao Yunheng drank a few sips, and finally there was a little moisture on his dry lips.
"...How long have I slept?" he asked, his voice hoarse, dry, and weak.
"It's been a whole night and half a day, and it's already noon." The maid replied respectfully, "My maid, go and call the madam over."
Xiao Yunheng didn't say anything. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. At this moment, he just lay here and felt a sharp pain on his back, as if he had been scraped by steel knives. It tortured his body to convulse and tremble.
In all his life, he had never been punished so harshly, so he never knew that beating someone with a stick could be so difficult.
Just as the maid was about to go out, she saw Mrs. Xiao coming in a hurry. She quickly stood aside and saluted: "Madam, the young master is awake."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xiao quickly quickened her pace and walked into the inner room. Looking at her frail son, her heart ached like a knife: "Heng'er."
Xiao Yunheng turned his head, his movements stiff and slow: "Mother."
"How do you feel now? Is it painful?" Mrs. Xiao walked to the bed and bent down to check his injuries. Even though she had seen the injuries last night, she still couldn't help but eyes were filled with scars when she saw the scars on her back.
Red, "Heng'er has suffered..."
"Mother." Xiao Yunheng was in severe pain at this time and it was difficult to speak. "How is the situation outside?"
Mrs. Xiao wiped away tears, but her expression turned gloomy: "Yun Zishu has hardened her wings and is determined to go against the Xiao family."
Xiao Yunheng's heart sank: "She doesn't want to come back?"
"Why don't you want to come back?" Mrs. Xiao was angry at her husband, and she couldn't wait to complain to her son. "My mother went to see her in person today and wanted to apologize to her in person, but she had people lock her up.
I waited outside the gate for a whole hour, and finally when I entered the house, Yun Zishu pretended to be a princess, threatened me with rules, and asked me to kneel down to him..."
"Kneel down?" Xiao Yunheng's face changed, and his voice suddenly became tight, "She...she actually dares to humiliate her mother like this?"
"What happened to humiliating your mother?" Xiao Yuanting strode in and looked at the mother and son with cold eyes, "The princess gave you a divorce letter, and she no longer regarded you as her husband, nor did she regard your mother as her mother-in-law.
Mother, she is talking to your mother as a princess, shouldn’t your mother kneel down?”
Mrs. Xiao's expression froze, anger rose on her pale face, and she turned to look at her husband: "Why do you always get angry at me? If you have the ability, go and invite her back and treat her as an ancestor -"
"Shut up!" Xiao Yuanting yelled angrily, "You are on the verge of death and you still don't repent! For me, the general, to marry a shrew like you is a misfortune for the family! Today, the Xiao family caused such a joke, and you are the instigator!"
As soon as the words fell, the room suddenly fell into silence.
Mrs. Xiao's face was pale and ugly, her breathing was rapid, and she stared at her husband in shock. She couldn't believe that these words were spoken by the man who had been sleeping with him for more than twenty years.
Unlucky family?
Marrying her will bring misfortune to the Xiao family?
Xiao Yuanting regretted what he said just now. Seeing the shock and injury in Mrs. Xiao's eyes, he turned his head unnaturally: "I'll take good care of my injuries these two days. I'll take care of the external matters first. When the injury gets better, I'll go there as soon as possible."
Bring the princess back."
Xiao Yunheng said: "Father, do you know... how is Xue'er?"
"Don't mention Li Xue again." When Xiao Yuanting heard the name, his face that had softened suddenly turned gloomy again, "She is just a broom star! From now on, you don't need to worry about her life or death. You just need to welcome the princess back."
, you don’t need to ask anything else.”
After saying this, he turned around and left, obviously not wanting to stay any longer.
Mrs. Xiao watched his leaving figure, feeling as if there was an empty space in her heart. It turned out...it turned out that she had been married to him for so many years and gave him a son and a daughter, but in the end she got no credit at all and only got a
"Unlucky family" comment?
"Mother." Xiao Yunheng said hoarsely, "Father is angry. Don't take what he says to heart."
Mrs. Xiao turned around and was about to say something, but when she caught a glimpse of her son's dry lips, she quickly ordered her maid: "Pour some warm water over."
Xiao Yunheng wanted to adjust his stiff body, but when he moved a little, he took in a breath of pain, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly lay on the pillow and waited for the severe pain to pass.
