Chapter 128 Yu Cheng was punished
"Mr. Fan, have you seen Xiaolu?" When Mr. Fan came in, Si Yao noticed that Xiaolu, who had been following her, had left at some point, so she greeted Mr. Fan and asked hurriedly.
"He went to pee." Mr. Fan looked at Si Yao and replied with a smile.
But he knew in his heart that Xiaolu was actually going to see Prince Zong.
"Xiaolu greets His Highness." In the tent, Xiaolu knelt in front of Yan Zong and kowtowed respectfully.
Leaving the medicine shop and resuming his identity as a secret guard has been his strong desire for some time. Today, he had the opportunity to come to the military camp, and he could not miss the opportunity to meet His Highness. So he took the opportunity of Si Yao treating Arnold's injury to relieve himself and find Yu Cheng for help.
"Get up." Yan Zong had been feeling uneasy and irritable since he saw Si Yao. Naturally, he didn't put on a good face in front of Xiaolu at this moment.
"Your Highness, Xiaolu has been in Sanxiu Pharmacy for more than a year... I... I want to come back." But Xiaolu did not stand up, his forehead still knocked to the ground. After hesitating for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.
"Why? Sanxiu Medicine Store treats you badly?" Yan Zong glanced at the path on the ground with cold eyes, and continued indifferently: "I heard that you are now trusted by Mr. Sanxiu and Mr. Xiuming in the medicine store."
"Mr. Sanxiu and Mr. Xiuming are indeed very caring towards Xiaolu, but Xiaolu is sworn to follow Your Highness until death!" Yan Zong's words made Xiaolu's heart tremble, and he was so scared that he hurriedly explained. Is His Highness doubting his loyalty?
"From today on, you don't have to follow me anymore."
“Your Highness…” Xiaolu felt as if he were struck by lightning. After all, he was only fifteen years old and was frightened to tears by Yan Zong’s cold words. His Highness didn’t want him anymore and he couldn’t be a secret guard anymore. Was he really going to stay in Sanxiu Pharmacy for the rest of his life?
Looking at Xiaolu who was crying in grievance in front of him, Yan Zong's face suddenly froze. Since this kid could never guess what he was thinking, couldn't he at least listen to what he said and then use his imagination?
"Get up." Yan Zong suppressed the anger in his heart and said helplessly through gritted teeth.
Hearing the displeasure in Prince Zong's tone, Xiaolu quickly stopped crying and stood up timidly.
"What I mean is that you have a new mission starting from today." Yan Zong sighed secretly, and spoke again after adjusting his mood.
"Yes, Your Highness!" This time, Xiaolu finally understood what Your Highness meant and felt relieved.
Not long after, Xiaolu walked out of the tent in confusion. Yu Cheng, who was waiting outside the tent, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, put his arm around Xiaolu's shoulders and asked curiously, "How is it? How did His Highness arrange for you?"
"Your Highness asked me to stay with Sister Si Yao from today on." Xiaolu frowned and said worriedly.
Yu Cheng understood when he heard it. It seemed that His Highness wanted Xiaolu to stay with Miss Si Yao to protect her.
"But Xiaolu doesn't understand. Since Your Highness no longer doubts Sister Si Yao, why does he want me to stay with Sister Si Yao?" Xiaolu looked at Yu Cheng who was silent beside him and thought that the other party was also thinking about Your Highness's intentions, so he spoke again.
"Well, this task is quite special, and you are indeed the only one who is suitable for it at the moment." Yu Cheng seemed not to have heard Xiaolu's next words, but just nodded repeatedly as if thinking about something.
"Special?" Xiaolu looked up at Yu Cheng curiously.
"You blockhead, after all this time, haven't you noticed that His Highness treats Miss Si Yao differently? But do you remember the last time at Sanxiu Pharmacy, His Highness was sulking in the carriage for half an hour just because Miss Si Yao didn't say goodbye to His Highness? Think about it, His Highness has never been so childish in front of other girls in the past twenty years..." Looking at the silly Xiaolu at this moment, Yu Cheng smiled and raised his hand to tap him on the forehead, then couldn't help but complain excitedly.
"Bang!" Before Yu Cheng finished his words, there was a sound of something falling to the ground in the tent behind them. Yu Cheng suddenly realized that the noise was too loud and must have been heard by His Highness. He was so scared that he hurriedly pulled Xiaolu, whose face was full of shock, away.
Yan Zong bent down with a gloomy face to pick up the bamboo slips. He pursed his thin lips and listened to the sound outside. His eyes suddenly flashed with anger. Yu Cheng has become bold recently. He dared to say behind his back that he, the great Zong Wang, is childish! Is he childish?
"Pah." Another sound. Yan Zong, who was already restless, wanted to use ancient books to calm his inner restlessness, but he didn't want to become even more upset after hearing Yu Cheng's words. He simply threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the table and got up to see her, the person who made him upset. But when he reached the entrance of the tent, he stopped and closed his eyes in disappointment. He was also afraid to see her, afraid that he would fall in love with those clear eyes and could no longer control himself.
After Si Yao treated Arnold's foot injury, Mr. Fan personally sent her out of the military camp. Si Yao glanced in the direction of Yan Zong's tent with her cold eyes, then saluted Mr. Fan and turned to leave with Xiaolu.
"Why is General Yu Cheng not here?" After seeing Si Yao off, Mr. Fan turned and came to Yan Zong's tent and asked curiously.
"I have transferred him to the Huotou Camp." Yan Zong said coldly, looking at the bamboo slips in his hand.
Mr. Fan was startled for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. He said nothing more, just smiled and shook his head. Yu Cheng must have said something wrong accidentally again. His Highness was so angry today, but he wanted to die.
"Miss Si Yao is gone?" The thing Yan Zong liked most about Mr. Fan was that he knew what to ask and what not to ask, so he was very satisfied with Mr. Fan's silence. He glanced at him and asked casually.
"Well, let's go back. Since I saw that Xiaolu was accompanying you, I didn't see you off." Mr. Fan also sat down slowly and poured himself a cup of tea.
Yan Zong said nothing more, his eyes fixed on the bamboo slips in his hands.
After Xiaolu learned from Yu Cheng that his prince had a crush on Miss Si Yao, he shook off his previous silence and unhappiness, and talked and laughed with Si Yao along the way. Si Yao was happy to see that Xiaolu had returned to the smiling boy he used to be. She didn't think much about it, thinking it was just the nature of a child, who came and went as he pleased.
Yu Cheng came to the Fire Camp at the rear of the military camp with a sullen look on his face. When the soldiers saw that it was General Yu Cheng, they all came forward respectfully.
"General Yu, why are you here?" A tall and fat fireman stepped forward and asked with a smile. It was not yet time for dinner, so General Yu Cheng couldn't be looking for food, right? Besides, why would the general need to come in person for such a small matter?
"From today on, I will work in your fire corps." Yu Cheng sighed and said to the fireman with a sad face. It was all his fault that he offended His Highness with his mouth and was punished to the fire camp.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, but then they understood that General Yu Cheng was only temporarily punished by His Royal Highness the Prince.
