Prime Minister Yao looked at his eldest son in a daze, then at Leng Feng, who was hesitating to speak, before understanding the situation and being supported by Yao Shichang towards the exit of the palace.
As the three of them reached the entrance of the palace, Leng Feng whispered to the two of them, "Don't worry, the emperor has already sent the imperial physician to see the second young master. Although the second young master has suffered some superficial wounds, the two of you can rest assured that he won't be in any danger."
"Your majesty, let the imperial physician see it?"
The duo was shocked and doubtful.
Leng Feng nodded his head seriously. "Yes, I'm not too clear about this either. I've only heard Second Young Master say that this is a scheme he had with the Emperor. You'll know when Second Young Master comes out later. This official still has some matters to attend to, so I shall not send the two sirs off. "
"Daddy, what exactly is going on? I'm a bit confused."
Prime Minister Yao shook his head, "I'm not too sure either, but I'm sure there won't be any mishaps. We will know. "The Emperor is indeed a wise emperor!"
Hearing this, Yao ShiChang was also quite approving. After a second thought, he exclaimed, "Father, mother, how about we not say anything?"
If his wife knew, she would probably be unable to accept it for a moment. She sighed and said, "About this, let's go back and say that the Emperor told your brother to secretly investigate the true intentions of the princess of Qitian so that he could repent for his deeds. Your little brother's injury must not be told to your mother, remember, you can't be sad in the slightest, or else you won't be able to hide it from your mother's eyes, right?"
"Yes, I know, but I'm still worried about sailing for a while. Just thinking about the 50 lashes today made my whole body go numb. I wonder if Second Brother will be in so much pain that he won't be able to sleep."
"Alright, don't even think about it. He was the one who disobeyed the emperor's orders. Besides, didn't the emperor already send the imperial doctors over to see? Everything will be fine."
"That's true. I was overthinking it."
He was no less worried than Yao Shichang, after all, he was his own child. Which parents would not feel sorry for him, and what he said was first to comfort his eldest son, and secondly to comfort his own heart. He had been an official for many years, and he clearly knew how painful the lash was.
During the period when Zuo Rongyi was the emperor, the cells of the clan were much more deserted. Most of the cells were empty. Yao Yihang was placed in a relatively clean and dry cell. However, after all, the cell could not be compared to his home. As it had been empty for a long time, there was a musty smell everywhere along with a bit of depression.
Yao Yi Hang's bloodied white clothes were replaced by the green prison uniform as he leaned his back against the stone wall. If one looked closely, they would see that there were specks of dark red on the prison clothes. Her lips were paler than her face, and the corners of her mouth were twitching, but her eyes were a deep pool of tranquility. It was hard to tell that she was a seriously injured person. His temperament was like that of a sick brother next door. It caused one's nose to ache, and the more one did not cry out for pain, the more one would bite down and not grind their teeth. It was especially heart-wrenching.
"Little sister, have you thought of me before?"
He didn't know if it was worth it or not, but in his heart, even if he was given a hundred more chances, a thousand more times, he would still choose the pain of his skin and flesh, not willing to erase the strongest call in his heart. Ten years ago, when he was dreaming, he was no longer himself, and his feelings for her could only be described with eight words, 'involuntarily' and 'without any regrets'.
He would often think about dreams and the pitiful truth to comfort himself, and when he was in pain, he would think more about her frown and smile, and the night would pass like this. His wound was hot and his heart was heavy, and he had a high fever, and occasionally he would cough in his sleep.
"Second Young Master, how do you feel after one night?"
The imperial physician walked into the cell with a medicine box and said kindly to Yao Yifan's back.
"Ah, cut, cut!"
Yao Sisi, who was far away in Yao Chi Country, rubbed her nose and thought for a while before rubbing her forehead, "I don't have a fever. Why did I sneeze so many times this morning?" Could it be a sign of a hot flu? "
After having this thought, Yao Sisi immediately ordered a waiter to cook a bowl of green bean sand for her. After drinking it, she still felt an itch in her nose, and couldn't help but rub it. She recalled how his second brother used to rub her nose with his fingers, and always smiled warmly at her.
"I wonder how second brother is doing now. Prime minister's father, cheap mother, and eldest sister-in-law, how is her nephew?"
She had not seen them for more than half a year and had long treated that house as her own home in this world. She missed coming back home after having so much to do.
At this moment, she didn't know that his second brother had been tortured because of her. He was in a fever, yearning for her, wanting to see her.
"How is Second Young Master?"
"Commander Leng, don't worry. The second young master's life is not in danger. As long as you take good care of him, you will be fine. Right now, we will let him burn us down."
Leng Feng urged, "Then hurry up and prescribe the medicine!"
The imperial physician nodded, took out a pen and paper to write a prescription for Leng Feng, and gave it to him. "Capture the medicine according to the prescription, three times a day will suffice."
Leng Feng walked out of the clan manor with the prescription and the imperial physician in hand. worry and anxiousness could be seen between his brows, and his footsteps were also much faster.
At the market, Yao Sisi was still dressed in men's clothing, preparing to buy some dry rations to continue sher journey tomorrow. After strolling around, he had finally bought enough items. Suddenly, she felt a bit hungry. At this moment, she saw an old man around the corner who was selling Chaos and could not help but feel hungry. She walked a few steps and asked, "Old grandpa, how much are you selling these wontons?"
"This old man, this wonton costs ten gold coins for a bowl." "I always have good culinary skills, wontons taste good. You can have a bowl to try it. That is to say, I guarantee that the ingredients will be very good and that I will be honest with you."
the old man with the camel on his back said.
Yao Sisi gaped and said, "That's the way everyone does business, but it's very cheap. Come on, let's have a bowl tonight!"
Yao Sisi was already used to spending money extravagantly. How could she have known that a ten-coin primal chaos was already so expensive? The old man smiled and said, "Alright, please take a seat. Wonton is about to be served."
The old man took out the wontons that he had already wrapped, and one by one, like little ingots, he quickly put them in the pot. The small wontons cooked very quickly, and soon, one by one, the wontons rolled on the surface of the water with their stomachs bulging. The old man took out a large bowl and scooped a bowl of soup, then added the chopped onions, shrimp, seaweed, and sesame oil into the pot.
Yao Sisi sniffed and her intestines also started to move. She quickly stuffed one into her mouth and couldn't help praising, "It's delicious. Grandpa, your cooking skills are even better than the imperial chef's. Hehe, it's really not bad."
"Young master, you're too kind. It's just that this old man has been selling Chaos for generations. He just has some experience."
He chuckled and said, "Young Master, take your time to eat."
The wonton skin in the bowl was as thin as a cicada's wing, and one could clearly see the red meat stuffing inside. In addition, there were white, tender green onions, black and purple vegetables, shrimp skins, and sesame oil as the sprouts. In a short moment, he ate most of it.
