Chapter 53: Punishment

"Your Majesty, today's incident does happen for a reason, and Han Xuan has no malicious ......"

Chu Yun tried his best to defend Han Xuan.

"Chu Yun, don't say it, everyone is watching, just let me take on this matter alone, if the king knows the beginning of the whole thing, he will inevitably summon Gongsun Cheng's rebellious words, and then things will become more complicated."

Han Xuan endured the piercing pain on his back and quietly discussed with Chu Yun, Chu Yun is a smart person, so he naturally understands this truth.

The dim torture room, mildew, all kinds of torture instruments filled the entire table, and there were also large torture instruments hanging on the wall.

Han Xuan's hands and feet were tied and hung on the torture rack, he looked down at the torture head who was resting, the wound on his back was no longer bleeding, but the leather whip stained with salt water made his body have some more wounds.

The Criminal Law Department sentenced him to fifty lashes, but he didn't say that he was going to be dipped in salt water, so someone must have bought the punishment to increase the criminal law on himself, Han Xuan snorted coldly, what is this level, he has suffered a heavier criminal law, do you still care about these?

The head of the torture rested for a while and took the whip and began to whip Han Xuan, the fifty whips have already passed, how much benefit did this head receive from others? Working so hard, Han Xuan gritted his teeth, but he didn't say a word, but he was also a man, hum

In the second half of the night, Han Xuan spent the whole night under the whipping, he didn't know what the torture head was when he was tired and went to rest, only knew that his vision was getting more and more blurred, and finally he was completely unconscious, if it wasn't for the excessive blood loss on his back before, he wouldn't have fainted so uncontrollably.

When he woke up, it was already dawn outside, and the light shone into the torture room through the window, and Han Xuan's eyes were stinging, and it didn't take long for Wenqin to come and take him.

As soon as Wenqin came in, she pounced on Han Xuan, tears fell from her eyes, her eyes were red and swollen, it seemed that she had not slept all night, Han Xuan was completely unstable when she put it down from the shelf, but fortunately Wenqin helped him.

"Childe be careful, slow down..."

Wenqin gently supported Han Xuan, small steps outward, she didn't dare to touch him casually, because he was covered with wounds all over his body, and it would hurt to touch it.

"Childe, did they use other criminal laws against you?"

Wen Qin looked at Han Xuan, who was wearing thin clothes, half of his face was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he felt a large blood stain behind him, thinking that the torture head had used other criminal laws against him.

"No, no...... Exceptional"

Han Xuan smiled lightly, trying his best to walk, not wanting people to see him so weak.

Out of the torture room, Chu Yun and Yan Feng were waiting outside, the two of them saw him like this, and they also knew that Han Xuan had suffered a secret loss, the traces of this body were not as simple as fifty whips, but there was nothing to be done, Chu Yun put a cloak on Han Xuan, and when he saw them coming, Wen Qin was also relieved.

Back in Zhilan Palace, Wen Qin locked Chu Yun and Yan Feng out of the door, and gave Han Xuan medicine in the house, only to know after removing his clothes, it turned out that he had three deep wounds on his back, which seemed to be a profit, she didn't ask what the reason was, just carefully medicated and dressed him, because there were too many wounds on his body, he couldn't wrap Bai Aya, so he could only temporarily wear a few more clothes, as long as he didn't get up, it was no problem.

After Wenqin sorted everything out for Han Xuan, he fell asleep, seeing that half of his face was injured, Wenqin wanted to take off his mask to see, after the rope at the beginning was untied, as long as he reached out and took it down, Wenqin mustered up the courage and reached out to take off the half of the mask, not oblique, as soon as the hand touched the mask, it was held down by one hand, she was startled and hurriedly let go of her hand.

"Childe, you have a wound on your face......"

Ask Qin to retract her hand, a little bit of a thief's heart, she admits that she wants to see Han Xuan's appearance, but she definitely doesn't have any bad ideas,

"Out of the way"

Han Xuan pressed the cold mask on his face with his hand, his body is too weak now, if he accidentally sees his face by the two people outside the door, it will be over, and he will not be able to leave if he wants to.

Wenqin put his mask back on, and then opened the door to let the people outside in, Fuyu also came, Fuyu also looked sad, as soon as he entered the room, he sat on the edge of the bed to check Han Xuan, but fortunately he was stopped by Chu Yun.

In the days when Han Xuan was in bed to recuperate, in addition to Fuyu coming to visit the patient every day, Chu Yun and Yan Feng were basically there every day, Han Xuan clearly remembered that when he first saw Yan Feng, who had been separated for several years, tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, although he knew that he had changed, but he didn't expect him to change so much.

The young man who used to be as gentle as jade has become a dissolute person, without the ambition he once had, without the dream of guarding the Chu State, listening to Chu Yun, the current Yan Feng is as chic as the wind, coming and going, often not in the palace, often drunk like mud, he has long ignored the affairs of the court, but he has never seen him so relaxed, which is also a good thing.

During the time that Han Xuan was in bed, a messenger came from Wu State, Chu Yun was afraid that he was about to leave Chu State, for several days, Fuyu was sullen, frowning every day, he never saw her smile, Yan Feng didn't seem to care about this, and every day when he came to Zhilan Palace, he sat in the courtyard and drank.

In the past few days, it has been snowing outside, and the number of times Fuyu can come has gradually decreased, Yan Feng saw that Han Xuan's body was well, so he pulled him to drink with him, if it wasn't for Qin Qin's block, I was afraid that Han Xuan's just body would collapse again.

"Childe, you have to be careful, Prince Yanfeng lives here now"

Wen Qin whispered in Han Xuan's ear, the teacup in Han Xuan's hand fell to the ground, he looked up at Wen Qin in surprise, and she nodded helplessly.

"When did you come to stay?"

Han Xuan asked anxiously, with an uncomfortable feeling in his heart, Yan Feng should not have found anything.

"It's been a few days, childe, you've been in the room, naturally you don't know"

Wen Qin pursed his lips and quietly looked at Yan Feng who was drinking, saying that this Prince Yan Feng is not too young, why is there no concubine?

Yan Feng felt that someone had been secretly watching him, and while drinking slowly, he observed, it turned out to be the maid, called Qianqin? The name is good, people, unsatisfactory, if you dress up, you can get by, Yan Feng lowered his head and snickered.

"Ask Qin, you'd better not look at him so blatantly, he's a martial arts practitioner, he will definitely notice"

Han Xuan lightly knocked on Wenqin's forehead, Wenqin's face flushed, and he nodded embarrassedly, but his eyes still secretly looked at Yan Feng.

Han Xuan didn't say anything about Yan Feng's move to Zhilan Palace, but he usually had to pay more attention, and when he had nothing to do, Yan Feng would accompany him to practice swords, which was the same as when he was young, perhaps, Yan Feng only said that he was a humble gentleman, but he didn't know that he was a female Jiao'e and his sister.

On this day, Han Xuan was still on the way back to Zhilan Palace, the sky above his head darkened, a shadow flew by, a few sharp cries passed, he smelled a familiar smell, looked up at the sky, a familiar shadow disappeared from his eyes, that is...... Wolf Eagle? Its direction is Zhilan Hall.

Han Xuan secretly screamed badly, now Yan Feng and Wenqin are in Zhilan Palace, the wolf eagle is very ferocious, they will be in danger, Han Xuan hurriedly rushed to Zhilan Palace.

In the Zhilan Palace, Yan Feng sat in the courtyard drinking as always, and asked Qin to clear the snow in the courtyard, and there were only two of them in the courtyard, but who was it because he didn't speak.

A gust of cold wind struck, the sky on the top of the Zhilan Hall suddenly darkened, as if it was covered by something, Wenqin looked up at the sky, she opened her mouth in horror, the broom in her hand fell to the ground in fright, she took a few steps back, at this time, the wolf eagle also noticed that there were people in the yard, only to see it scream, and pounced on Wenqin.

"Be careful......

Seeing the wolf eagle attacking Wenqin, Yan Feng dropped the wine glass, jumped in front of Wenqin with an arrow, and pulled her to the side, the wolf eagle's claws just passed by him, and he immediately left a few scratches on his arms, and the red blood immediately stained the sleeves red, he blocked Wenqin behind him, pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at the wolf eagle with the sword, and the murderous aura in his eyes gradually rose,

"Prince Yanfeng, are you alright?" Wen Qin looked at Yan Feng's injured arm in horror, she didn't expect Yan Feng to save herself, and a warm current flowed through Wen Qin's heart.

"It's out of the way, you're not hurt, are you?" Clenched the long sword in his hand, his sharp eyes staring at the wolf eagle.

"Well, it's okay," asked Qin Yan with a red face, her eyes full of worry.

Yan Feng was no stranger to the wolf eagle, but he was surprised, why did it appear in the palace?

The wolf eagle screamed, and launched an attack on Yan Feng, it flew into the courtyard from the air, folded its wings, and approached the two like a wolf, Yan Feng pulled the Qin and slowly retreated step by step, wanting to retreat to the house, but the wolf eagle seemed to see through his thoughts, jumped up, and jumped in front of them. Blocking their retreat, Yan Feng could only pull the Qin flash to the corridor on the side.

"Are you looking for me?"

When the wolf eagle was about to attack Yan Feng, Han Xuan rushed in in time to stop it, and the wolf eagle heard the sound and turned around and screamed, as if in response to Han Xuan's words.

"You're good at finding this place."

Han Xuan slowly walked into the courtyard, the wolf eagle seemed to have collected his anger, looking at Han Xuan, Han Xuan walked in front of it all the time, it was still indifferent.

Han Xuan's words are not wrong, Rong'an City is so big, there are so many people in the palace, Wolf Eagle just relies on his smell, it is indeed a little difficult to find himself from such an adult, in fact, Han Xuan doesn't know, Wolf Eagle smelled his blood before he found here, that is, Han Xuan was whipped and injured before, because there were too many people in Rong'an City, it would take so long to find his exact location?

When the wolf eagle saw Han Xuan coming back, he retracted his claws and lay down in the courtyard, and half of the huge courtyard was occupied in an instant.

Yan Feng was very curious, why Han Xuan was able to communicate with the wolf eagle, in his understanding, the wolf eagle was extremely ferocious, and no one had ever been able to escape his life in front of it, what was the origin of this Han Xuan?
