Xuanyuan Zhan returned to the East Palace, and his normally gentle face could not help but be dyed with a solemn look.

Xuanyuan Hao was wearing a thick fur cloak and sitting in front of the case reading. Because he was recuperating in the past two days, no memorials were sent to the East Palace. He couldn't stay in bed anymore, so he sat and read and wrote to pass the time. time.

I just had Rong Zhan in my mind, so I couldn't keep reading.

"Your Highness." Xuanyuan Zhan walked into the palace and knelt down beside Xuanyuan Hao. "The Regent is supervising the archery practice of my uncle and the Second Highness on the school grounds."

Xuanyuan Hao turned his head, stared at his slightly solemn expression, and said calmly: "My father is personally supervising, and the requirements must be extremely strict."

"Yeah." Xuanyuan Zhan didn't want him to worry too much, but the fact couldn't be concealed. He only said: "The Second Highness was taught a hard lesson. My uncle is okay. The Regent should know that this behavior belongs to the Second Highness." That’s why I didn’t punish my little uncle very much. I was only punished once for being clever while practicing archery.”

Xuanyuan Hao said nothing and took a sip of the hot tea on the table.

Xuanyuan Zhan was quiet for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Your Highness, would you like to ask Auntie the Queen to come forward and ask for a favor?"

If the Queen's aunt comes forward to speak, the Regent will definitely listen.

Xuanyuan Hao slowly shook his head: "Do you think your father would hide this from your mother?"

Xuanyuan Zhan didn't say anything. He wasn't sure whether the Regent would hide it from Her Majesty the Queen. But Her Majesty the Queen is a very gentle person, and Her Second Highness is their biological son. If Her Majesty the Queen saw that scene on the school field, , it should also feel distressed.

"Although the Mother Emperor is gentle, she is a principled person and will not interfere in anything." Xuanyuan Hao lowered his eyebrows and looked at the book unfolded on the case, but could not read a word, "Father wants to punish Rong Zhan. Firstly, it is because of the mistake he made this time, and secondly, it is also to temper his temperament. Although the process is harsh, it can make Rong Zhan grow up in the shortest time, and the Queen Mother will not interfere. "

Xuanyuan Zhan frowned.

"If I ask my mother to intercede, it will only make my father think that I am ignorant. Even if Rong Zhan is spared today, Rong Zhan's life will not be easy in the future." Xuanyuan Hao said, unable to help but blame himself, "Actually, I am also to blame. "In the past, I was too indulgent towards Rong Zhan, but if Rong Zhan is a little calmer, I won't alarm my father to take action himself."

Xuanyuan Zhan didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, and said after a long time: "The Second Highness is lucky to have an elder brother like the prince."

Xuanyuan Hao was silent.

Isn't it his luck to have Rong Zhan as his younger brother?

From the day Zhan'er was born, he knew that this younger brother would be his responsibility in the future. They were the closest siblings. Watching the child grow up day by day, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. He taught Zhan'er successfully. , which is also his biggest wish as an elder brother.

He hoped that Zhan'er would be happy and healthy throughout his life.

But they are not ordinary brothers. He and Rong Zhan need to be each other's support and support from now on. It is obviously not enough to rely on brothers and sisters. Being in the royal family, there are unparalleled eyes watching at all times. A weak person The prince will not be taken seriously by others, and his voice is not even as good as that of a powerful minister.

The emperor needs to be strong, and the general also needs to be stronger than anyone else, strong enough to protect himself, so that he can support each other on the road to supreme imperial power, not let anyone look down upon him, and become each other's strongest back.

Xuanyuan Hao closed his eyes and remained silent: "I can't let Zhan'er become my weakness. My father will not allow it."

"Then what should we do?" Xuanyuan Zhan frowned slightly, "I looked at the regent's training method, and I'm afraid that Rong Chen and I can't stand it. Not to mention that His Highness is younger than us, what if he can't hold it anymore? ?”

"If it were before, Zhan'er might not be able to hold on." Xuanyuan Hao closed his eyes and drank tea, "I will definitely be able to hold on this time."

Sweating like rain.

Rong Zhan's legs were shaking non-stop, and his hands holding the bow and arrow were shaking violently and visibly, shaking up and down, sweat dripping on the shooting range. This kind of soreness and fatigue had reached the extreme and could no longer be controlled, and no willpower could stop it. Okay, both Rong Zhan and Xuanyuan Hui are close to exhaustion.

However, Rong Yu came over, put the arrow in his hand on the two men's arms, corrected their skewed postures, and said calmly and calmly: "If anyone can't hold on, he will lose it." He was beaten with his pants down.”

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured down my head, instantly driving away all the fatigue.

Xuanyuan Hui and Rong Zhan were so tired that they didn't know how much time had passed, but the young man already had a sense of shame. Being beaten was not scary, but taking off his pants and being beaten in public was enough to make them so embarrassed and angry that they died on the spot.

Due to the regent's temperament, they didn't even dare to regard this sentence as a threat. Rong Zhan didn't know where the strength came from, blinking the sweat from his eyelashes, forcing himself to maintain a straight posture, even with his arms. The tremors were carefully controlled to be as small as possible.

He didn't dare to bet on the possibility of his father's words being implemented, because once his father put his words into action, the result would definitely be something he couldn't bear calmly.

Facts have proved that human potential can be infinitely stimulated.

The two people who had already reached their limit were forced by these words to continue to persevere. Although their postures could not be measured by standards, at least their arm strength and willpower did hold them together. From beginning to end, they did not say anything similar to begging for mercy. .

Rong Yu barely spoke during the whole process, except for the initial request and a threat in the middle. It was not until half an hour later that he calmly said, "Retract your strength slowly, hold the bow with your left hand, and collect the arrow with your right hand."

This sentence was like a drop of sweet dew from heaven, like a sudden amnesty, like a ray of light finally appearing in the endless darkness.

Xuanyuan Hui's mind relaxed, and his arms suddenly lost all strength. His right hand suddenly lost control, and the arrow in his hand flew out. His hands, which had long been weak, naturally could not complete the action of shooting at the target. The arrow automatically fell down in the air.

The sudden mistake made his face change suddenly.

Rong Zhan was better than him. Although his physical and mental state at this time was not as good as Xuanyuan Hui, his fear of his father was much deeper than Xuanyuan Hui. After hearing the order, he even spent a very short time to go over his father's words in his mind, and then slowly retracted his strength, loosened the fully drawn bow bit by bit, and put down his hands that were so sore and heavy that they seemed to be filled with lead.

Once the force was released, it seemed as if he had no strength to wipe his sweat.

Rong Zhan stood like a statue for a long time, his whole body seemed empty, and after a long time he slowly turned his head, rubbing his chin on his shoulder with a bit of sluggish movement, wiping off the cold sweat on his face.

Both faces were pale and frightening.

"How do you feel about your performance?" Rong Yu looked at the two with a cold expression, "Are you invincible in the world? So strong that there is no opponent?"

Rong Zhan bit his dry lips and slowly knelt on the ground, even his voice was suppressed and no longer lively: "I know my fault, please punish me, father."

"Hui'er knows my fault." Xuanyuan Hui followed and knelt down, "Please punish me, regent."

Rong Yu looked down at them: "I am very disappointed with your performance."

Rong Zhan's body shook violently, and his fingertips trembled unconsciously.

Very disappointed...

"Starting tomorrow, practice archery at the training ground every day at 11:00 a.m., and I will come to check your training results after I leave the court." Rong Yu said coldly, "You are strong and not afraid of pain, so feel free to be lazy. I will see if I can tear your bones one by one."

The training ground was silent, as if even the world had quieted down.

"Get up and jog around the training ground five times." Rong Yu ordered, "After lunch, go to the imperial study, and I will talk to you."

After saying this, he finally turned around and left.

Rong Zhan and Xuanyuan Hui suddenly lost their strength and knelt quietly and stiffly for a long time. Xuanyuan Hui raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Are you okay?"

Rong Zhan was not feeling well. He pursed his dry lips and said, "Your premonition was right."
