Chapter 492 Fainted with fear?
After Su Lingyue and Xiao Yu finished their breakfast together, Yun Ting came over and waited outside the hall.
"Your Highness, the son of the Minister of War, Li Xiaoyun, was beaten with fifty sticks today and is disabled. He will have to use a wheelchair from now on. Li Yi has taken him home, and the emperor has also sent an imperial physician."
"Jiapin used her dragon son to ask for a retrial of Li Xiaoyun's case, so why was she beaten?" Su Lingyue was puzzled. If a retrial would cause paralysis, Jiapin probably wouldn't have asked for it!
The Li family has only one legitimate son, and the Minister of War Li Yi would not agree to his son being treated like this.
Yun Ting looked stern, and after a pause he said, "The princess's father requested that the matter be written off after Su Mingyi was beaten, and the emperor agreed."
The Ministry of Justice has Zhang Zhong in charge. Xiao Yu had already agreed with him to do his best to save Li Xiaoyun's life.
Why did he hit so hard all of a sudden? Su Lingyue frowned in confusion. If she wanted to know the reason, she would have to ask Zhang Zhong.
Xiao Yu looked at Yun Ting with a serious gaze.
In the past, Yun Ting always called Su Heng by his name, but now he calls him "the princess's father".
The fact that Yun Ting changed the way he addressed his enemy showed that his feelings for Yue'er were about to become an obsession that surpassed his hatred of exterminating the entire family.
No matter what happens in the future, Yue'er will be safe and he will have no worries.
Xiao Yu said calmly: "This is good. The rift between Li Yi and Su Heng is actually good for us. Keep an eye on Li Yi in the future. Maybe we can find out something from him."
Yun Ting nodded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Haha, you're all here!"
A familiar voice was heard outside the door. Several people looked towards the door and saw Yan Qing walking inside, stroking the back of his head happily with an embarrassed look on his face.
Xiao Yu was most familiar with his little movements. Yan Qing touching the back of his head was a sign of guilt.
"Has Zhao Xuan's body been sent back to Yushan County?" Xiao Yu asked with a raised eyebrow.
Yan Qing smiled and patted his chest, "Of course, how can I not do well what the prince has asked me to do!"
Su Lingyue saw that he was not the carefree young master he usually was, so she asked jokingly, "Why are you smiling so flatteringly? Did you fail to do it?"
"Princess, we have known each other for so long, how could you miss me like this!" Yan Qing stood in front of Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue with her hands on her hips, looking heartbroken.
Seeing Xiao Yu looking at him with a sizing expression, Yan Qing finally felt guilty. He put down his hands on his waist and said unconfidently: "Although I didn't arrange for someone to send it, Zhao Xuan's body is now on the way back to Yushan County."
"Who sent it?" Xiao Yu asked indifferently.
"It turned out to be that group of students." Yan Qing's tone was full of surprise, "They said they knew Zhao Xuan's intentions, and in order to prevent him from sacrificing in vain, they deliberately pretended to hate him terribly. They went to the execution ground to see him off."
Xiao Yu was stunned.
That's it!
He thought of Zhao Xuan's smile in Xingtai, which was clearly a smile of relief.
Zhao Xuan must have suddenly seen something before he died, perhaps the tears of gratitude and pity from his students.
Xiao Yu calmed down and said, "I think Zhao Xuan would be willing to be sent back by them. Yan Qing, send someone to give them some silver so that they can bury Zhao Xuan properly."
Yan Qing smiled and said, "I have already given the money, Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Well done." Xiao Yu chuckled and praised Yan Qing for his thorough work.
At this time, Yun Ting, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly said, "I heard that someone fainted in the mass grave? Was he carried back?"
The people that Yan Qing brought with him were selected by Yun Ting, so naturally he had to report the progress to Yun Ting when he returned.
"Shut up! It didn't happen!" Yan Qing instantly turned into a ruffled cock, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, and immediately went to cover Yun Ting's mouth.
But Yunting's kung fu was better than his, and he dodged it with a flash.
Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he lowered his eyes leisurely to drink tea.
Watching them fighting, Su Lingyue couldn't help but start imagining in her mind why Yan Qing fainted.
Just thinking of the scene on Xingtai, Su Lingyue couldn't help but shrink her body, but she didn't faint yet. Yan Qing must have encountered something more terrifying.
Curiosity overcame fear, and Su Lingyue asked Yan Qing cautiously, "I have never seen a mass grave. Is it... scary there?"
She asked cautiously, as if something would pop up in the next moment.
There was no ridicule as he had imagined. Yan Qing stopped and made sure that there was only nervousness and curiosity on Su Lingyue's face before he let go of Yun Ting's arm.
The shame and anger disappeared instantly, leaving only two friends with similar personalities.
"It's more than scary!" Yan Qing came over and said mysteriously, "There are human bones all over the ground, arms, legs, heads, everything!"
"Are you dizzy after seeing these?" Su Lingyue asked curiously.
"No!" Yan Qing retorted angrily, "It's all the fault of those students. If they were going to collect the bodies, they should have done it properly. Why did they have to pick up Zhao Xuan's head to scare people!"
"Have you ever seen a skull with two bloody eyes? In the woods late at night!"
Su Lingyue thought about it and her hair stood on end. "No!"
The image only appeared for a moment, and then she shook her head to dismiss it.
Xiao Yu glanced at Su Lingyue and saw that her brows were furrowed and her little hands were tightly clenching a handkerchief.
Even though I’m so scared, I still can’t help but want to know. I’m afraid I’ll wake up in fright again at night.
Then he changed the subject and asked, “Why do they do this?”
"They arrived first and heard the sound of our horses' hooves. They thought we were coming to destroy the body. They waited for a long time and saw that we were still looking for it, so they tried to scare us away."
"Who knew they would use Zhao Xuan's head to do such a thing!" Yan Qing added angrily.
Yun Ting glared at him and sneered, "A head scares you like this. When you get out, don't say you followed the prince. You'll embarrass the prince."
Yan Qing also sneered and retorted: "Why don't you go to a mass grave in the middle of the night and look at the bloody skulls? That's scary, okay!"
His eyes turned, and he thought of Su Lingyue, his ally, and asked Su Lingyue: "Don't you think so, Princess?"
Su Lingyue nodded repeatedly, "That's true, I would never dare to go."
As expected, Yun Ting shut up and said nothing more, which made Yan Qing look very proud.
After all, she is the princess. No matter how vicious Yun Ting is, he dare not be disrespectful.
Seeing Yun Ting being humiliated, Yan Qing had no intention of arguing with him anymore. He remembered something and said, "It's not just that."
Later, Yan Qing chatted with them and learned that there was a student named Zhao Huaijin who was also surnamed Zhao and was going to take the imperial examination this year.
With his talent, he should have no problem getting into the top three.
But after this incident, he decided to inherit Zhao Xuan's will and applied to be the county magistrate of Yushan County, which was approved.
In Daning, talented scholars could hold official positions below the seventh rank after passing the review of the cabinet.
Yan Qing showed respect on his face. "Before leaving, Zhao Huaijin left a sentence that I admire from the bottom of my heart. He said: 'If you can't govern a county, how can you govern the whole world?'"
Su Lingyue's eyes were stunned, and she felt as if she had witnessed a grand cause and effect.
The regret and compassion for Zhao Xuan's death that had been weighing on my heart seemed to be slowly subsiding.
Everyone will die eventually. If one can use his will to illuminate the way forward for millions of people like Zhao Xuan, it would be the best ending.
When talking about Yushan County, Xiao Yu put away his leisurely look and said to Yun Ting: "In the past two days, the court has been arguing over the issue of suppressing bandits in Yushan County. When Su Heng returns to the court, he will definitely get involved in this matter."
"It's time to ask Master He to submit his memorial."
"Yes!" Yun Ting nodded.
