isn't what you're thinking that if it weren't for the commotion caused by Fourth Sister on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the throne would now belong to Sixth Prince, your daughter would...At the gate of the Night Mansion, two long chairs were placed in the middle, with two people lying on each respectively.
One is Prince Qingjue, the elder brother, and the other is Prince Qingzhao, the younger brother. 。Over ten officials from the Lin'an Prefecture Yamen surrounded the place, with four men pinning the two princes down while another two each held a wooden plank and slapped them repeatedly. 。Lin'an Prefecture Magistrate Chi Hongfang was telling Ye Feiyu and Ye Feizhou, who had rushed out of the house upon hearing the news: "Don't panic, young masters. This is all arranged by the Imperial Lord. The reason is that they have blamed the death of the Princess on Miss Ye Si." 。Although both their fathers-in-law have already extorted one million taels of silver from them, that was just the in-laws' doing. The Emperor hasn't given his say yet! Well, today the Emperor spoke, ordering them to be dragged to the General's Mansion and each receive fifty lashes until they are subdued. 。" Nightflying Jade glanced at the two of them and nodded, "Thank you, Imperial Sovereign, for standing up for my younger sister." 。" Ye Fei Zhou then stepped forward and personally instructed the officer who was pounding the gong: "When you strike, use your wrist strength, that way it'll hit harder. Don't put all your force into your arms, because that will dissipate a lot of power during the swing." 。Besides—"He pointed to a few acupuncture points, "Hit these spots, it will be more painful, and it will also be harder to heal. " 。The yamen officials of Lin'an Prefecture, now only Wei Ye Wenyan and his men remain alive. 。They all know that the Second Young Master is close to Ye Wenyan, so the Second Young Master's words must be listened to. 。So they followed Ye Fei Zhou's advice, changing their strength and precisely striking the pressure points, beating the two princes until they were almost sent to the West. 。 The Grand Prince, Qing Shu, raised his head and glared viciously at Ye Fei Zhou, gritting his teeth: "You dog thing who wants to be the third prince's wife! This prince will sooner or later kill you! Then we'll see if the third prince will feel heartbroken!"Ye Fei Zhou frowned and reminded the officer who was about to hit him: "The board is too smooth, it's not good. It has to be the kind with barbs to be used as punishment..." 。Having finished speaking, he instructed the gatekeeper of the night house, "Go get two axes and sharpen the boards for the two officials." 。The gatekeeper's subordinate immediately went. The two officers thought for a moment, decided to stop, and then said to Chi Hongfang: "Sir, since we made a mistake earlier, let's take a break first, and wait until the axe comes to shave off the board before beating again. 。"
Chi Hongfang nodded, “It should be so!”
“What a ridiculous notion!” Quan Qingshu shouted angrily, “Chi Hongfang, I have no grudges against you, old man. You do this today, don't you fear my revenge after I recover A mere Lin'an Prefect dare to cause trouble before me What are you Don't think that with the Emperor's support you can act recklessly, This world still belongs to the Quan family. Even if we can't reach the Emperor, killing a Prefect like you is no different from crushing an ant.” 。"Don't hurt yourself!" 池弘 was visibly terrified— "What are we going to do The Crown Prince wants revenge against our manor, even the Celestial Emperor can't protect us! What do we do" He panicked and spun in circles for a moment before stopping and waving his hand dismissively. "Then let's just kill him outright! Only the dead won't seek revenge! Only the dead will let our manor sleep peacefully!"As for the royal family or not, I believe this matter the Celestial Emperor will personally explain to the Emperor, he won't implicate our manor. 。"Your Highness, how dare you glare at me like that Do you think I'm afraid Hehehe, just watch and see if I am! Even the Regent has learned to be low-key now, why must Your Highness still cause such a ruckus With His Imperial Majesty above us, do you really think you can get away with it" As he was speaking, a servant from the Ye family came out carrying an axe. 。That man was quick and efficient, he shaved out several sharp splinters from the beating board in just a few moves. Each one had a point, guaranteed to pierce flesh with just one strike. 。After reading it, Chi Hongfang immediately ordered the officials: "Beat! Beat him to death! If the Emperor blames us, we'll take responsibility!"With the emperor taking responsibility, what were they afraid ofThe two officials really went wild this time. The prince was like a dead dog in their hands. They kept beating him with closed eyes, each blow tearing flesh and blood. The prince was in so much pain that he rolled his eyes several times, too weak to even curse at Chi Hongfang. All he could do was gasp for air. 。Erh Dianxia, Quan Qingzhao, also followed suit and ate the Gua Lao. As he was eating, he felt like he couldn't take it anymore. This kind of fighting style was simply unbearable. So, he wailed and admitted defeat, shouting loudly: "Don't fight anymore! Let me go! I admit my mistake to Ye Si Miss! Ye Si Miss, it was this king who wronged you. Please forgive this king! This king was deceived by the Empress Dowager and thought she was his biological sister, so he came to take her away." 。Now the truth is out, this king deeply regrets his actions, and begs the fourth young lady for forgiveness. 。As long as Miss Fourth can forgive this King, you can put forward any terms of compensation this King will accept. I only beg Miss Fourth to calm down!” The Crown Prince endured his anger and looked at him with a frown, gritting his teeth and saying: “Coward!”Second Prince couldn't care less about whether he was a coward or not, he just wanted to save his life now. 。He saw the determination to kill in Qi Hongfang's eyes, and he knew that someone above Emperor Zun would definitely take responsibility for killing them. 。As long as the Emperor is around, nothing will happen to Chi Hong. 。And so the two of them ended up losing their lives for nothing, with no one to reason with. 。So he advised the Eldest Prince, "Just accept your fate! That's the Heavenly Emperor! Brother, we can't fight him, and the entire Quan family can't either!"The Eldest Prince closed his eyes and endured another few lashes before finally accepting his fate— "This prince knows he was wrong! I beg the Fourth Miss for mercy!" However, no matter how much he begged, fifty lashes were still dealt without any reduction. 。Before counting the ones they took on their faces, these two had endured seventy-eight lashes. Their backs and buttocks were bloodied and bruised beyond recognition. They were barely human anymore. 。Ye Fei Zhou took two steps back, covering his nose with his sleeve, so angry that the two men almost wanted to tear him apart. 。"Although my strike was harsh, compared to how the two of you nearly killed my sister that day, I think this beating is quite light." 。The Emperor didn't take your lives, he gave the royal family enough face. I hope both Your Highnesses won't bear a grudge in your hearts, after all, bearing a grudge against the Emperor is of no benefit to you, and it may even lead to misfortune for yourselves. 。Especially His Highness, you still have a Crown Prince at home! He is also a general with military power in his hands. Please don't, for the sake of quick gains, jeopardize the future prospects of the young General. 。“ After he finished speaking, he turned to Chi Hongfang and said: “Sir Chi, don’t be angry. Since the prince is still alive after a beating, it means his life isn't fated to end.” 。I believe he wouldn't dare to seek revenge on you anymore. It's better to let him go this time. 。"Very well. Since young master has spoken up for him, our residence will bear the risk of future retribution." 。"After finishing, he looked back at Quan Qingjue again, “Your Highness, you should thank Young Master Ye properly. If it weren’t for him, your life would have been forfeit here today.” 。After all, who wouldn't want to get rid of someone who constantly thinks about killing them From now on, this mansion will have to be more careful and vigilant. Who knows, maybe even the smallest mishap is actually a plot by Your Highness. 。If I were to be silenced by someone, based on what happened today, my family would have every right to directly accuse Your Highness of being the culprit. 。" He glanced at the officials: "Did you all hear His Highness's threat to my mansion If you did, remember it well. If anything ever happens to me, it will definitely be his doing." 。” All the officials shouted, “We’ve heard you!” Quing Shu was so angry that he almost swallowed his last breath. This damned Chi Hongfang had framed him! He claimed that all responsibility—the bumps and bruises, even if he were killed—fell on him Are you kidding me You’re the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture. How many people have you offended Why does everything get pinned on him Unfortunately, he was too weak to argue with Chi Hongfang now. This beating took half his life. Being able to breathe at all was a miracle.。He needed to return home immediately to seek treatment from a physician. As for what would happen next, he would certainly seek revenge, but first, he had to carefully consider how he could avoid the Emperor's wrath, kill Chi Hongfang, and kill Ye Wenyan. 。Both Your Highnesses were carried away, and after not long, Ye Feiyu and the others saw a large group of people swaggering towards them from the alley mouth. 。At the head was a man in red, followed by a throng of officials. 。All the officials had something in their hands, and the leading man in red was still speaking: "Hold them tight, don't tilt them, and don't drop them." 。And don't touch those things with your paws, they'll get dirty! Our Ayan loves cleanliness, if you dirty her things, this one will cut off your paws. 。All the ministers trembled together, and after trembling they all said in unison: “Your Majesty, we understand…” 。"
The Emperor was very pleased. He strode forward, all the way to the gate of the General's Mansion, and glanced down at the blood on the ground. Chi Hongfang hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "This is from when we fought with the First Prince and Second Prince just now. We haven't had time to clean it up yet" 。"After he finished speaking, he quickly urged the servants of the night mansion, “What are you waiting for Hurry up and bring water!” The servants immediately got to work. " 。The Imperial Sovereign's presence graced the Ye Mansion, and all its inhabitants knelt in unison to greet Him. 。Shi Liyuan glanced at them, speaking as he walked towards the mansion: "Get up! Have someone take what they're carrying into the mansion. It's all for Ayan." 。This deity isn't just out here aimlessly wandering around today. This deity specifically came to see Ayan. 。"But why is your home so deserted today Where has everyone gone"Night Flying Jade quickly got up and replied, "Your Majesty, there have been some matters at home, so many people have left the estate." 。There are few people at home, so it seems deserted. 。Shi Liyuan walked all the way to Xuming Hall. He didn't treat himself as an outsider and sat in the first place. Then, he watched the night mansion servants bustling back and forth carrying things, and said to Yunchen: "Go, remind them to be careful and not make too much noise. Our young lady must be resting, don't disturb her." 。"
Yun Chen obediently went, a smile playing at the corner of his lips as he left, barely able to contain it
