Chapter 305: Shen Qingmo was beaten by Tuoba Ruoli
"Let's just leave today's matter alone. No one is allowed to make any more noise." Prince Cheng made the decision immediately. "Crown Prince, take your men and leave immediately!"
Chu Huaixu stood there motionless, "Is Prince Cheng giving me an order?"
Even though Chu Huaixu is young, the prince is still the prince.
The king is the king, and the minister is the minister.
There is a difference between the ruler and his subjects.
It was wrong for Prince Cheng to speak to Chu Huaixu in such a commanding tone.
Prince Cheng's expression was somewhat gloomy.
It's not embarrassment, it's just pure anger.
He had already told the prince this, but instead of taking his men away quickly, the prince asked him questions instead. This showed that he did not take him seriously at all.
"So what does His Royal Highness want?"
This sentence sounded like something squeezed out from between King Cheng's teeth.
Chu Huaixu still stared at King Cheng, "I am asking you, are you giving me orders?"
Prince Zecheng's expression became even uglier.
The prince is so ungrateful!
But facing the Crown Prince's questioning, Prince Cheng could only grit his teeth and say, "I dare not. It's just a suggestion."
"Then I rejected your suggestion. Do you have any opinion?"
"Prince, being aggressive is not good."
"Whatever I do, it's fine."
Prince Cheng stared at Chu Huaixu intently for a long time before he suddenly laughed. "In that case, I will host a horse race tomorrow. Is your Highness interested in joining in?"
"nature."
"Then I will wait for the Crown Prince's arrival."
After Prince Cheng finished speaking, he shook his sleeves vigorously, turned around and strode away.
After watching Prince Cheng leave, Chu Huaixu looked at Tuoba Ruoli again, "This man's face has been rotten. Although the coachman pointed it out, he can't be 100% sure. I will have people continue to investigate this matter. If there is anything that requires the Crown Princess' cooperation, I will come back."
After saying that, Chu Huaixu took Yu Youning's hand and left, "Liuyun, take the body with you."
"yes!"
It was not until Chu Huaixu and others had left for a long time that Tuoba Ruoli moved.
She turned stiffly, walked to the waterside pavilion and sat down, "Let Chen Qingmo come to see me. Everyone else, please leave!"
When everyone heard this, they retreated immediately as if they had been pardoned.
Not long after, Shen Qingmo was brought over.
As soon as he came over, Shen Qingmo sat opposite Tuoba Ruoli and slammed the table in indignation.
"This Chu Huaixu is too arrogant! Although he is the crown prince, you are also the crown princess. Your status is not inferior to his at all. How dare he disrespect you like this!"
"Li'er, do you know why he's so arrogant? It's because this is Dayong! Because this is Dayong's capital, and everyone around here is from Dayong, that's why he dares to be so arrogant."
"If this were Xiliang, he would definitely have to keep his tail between his legs and never dare to say another word!"
Shen Qingmo said this while looking at Tuoba Ruoli eagerly.
He had planned so much just for this moment!
His goal is about to be achieved!
Tuoba Ruoli looked at Chen Qingmo expressionlessly, the look in her eyes was as cold as ten thousand years of ice, without a trace of emotion.
Being stared at by Tuoba Ruoli with such eyes, Shen Qingmo gradually had a different feeling in his heart, and his heartbeat was gradually accelerating.
"Li'er...why are you...looking at Daddy like that?"
"Didn't I tell you to get rid of that person? Is that what you did?"
A trace of guilt flashed across Shen Qingmo's eyes, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "His face was already ruined, so I thought of throwing it directly into the river and letting it float away with the current, but I didn't expect..."
"Did you not expect it, or did you do it on purpose?"
After being exposed, Shen Qingmo stopped pretending.
"Yes! I did it on purpose!"
"I just thought that when Chu Huaixu and others come to embarrass you, you will understand that this is Dayong, not Xiliang. You have no advantage here. After this incident, you will definitely be willing to return to Xiliang."
"Li'er, I'm your biological father! I'm your daddy! Would I hurt you? I really just want you to go back to Xiliang as soon as possible. That's where you should be! There you can—"
"Someone come!"
Tuoba Ruoli suddenly said these two words loudly.
Shen Qingmo was startled, but soon laughed happily, "Li'er, have you figured it out? I knew you were so smart, you must know what to do and what not to do! I'll go back and pack my things, and we'll set off early tomorrow morning!"
Tuoba Ruoli sat there motionless, her voice still very cold, "Chen Qingmo disobeyed my orders and made decisions on his own, delaying my important affairs. I will give him fifty strokes of the stick to serve as a warning to others."
Chen Qingmo looked at Tuoba Ruoli in disbelief, "Li'er, you...what did you say? You want to hit me? I'm your biological father!"
Tuoba Ruoli sneered, "I even dared to kill my teacher, so how could I not dare to fight my father?
Come! Execute! "
This time, no one dared to hesitate. Two people rushed up immediately and pressed Shen Qingmo onto the long bench. Two more people came over with boards and hit Shen Qingmo on the body again and again.
Tuoba Ruoli looked at the two executioners coldly, "Didn't you eat? If you can't beat them, I'll send someone to beat you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, no one dared to let it go.
It’s not that they have any feelings for Shen Qingmo, but they are afraid that Tuoba Ruoli is just trying to scare Shen Qingmo.
Now hearing what Shen Qingmo said, they knew that Tuoba Ruoli was not joking, she really wanted to teach Shen Qingmo a lesson.
Shen Qingmo screamed in pain from being beaten.
Tuoba Ruoli frowned, "Shut up his mouth!"
The next moment, Shen Qingmo's mouth was blocked and he could no longer shout, but could only make a whimpering sound.
He lay on the bench, his forehead covered with sweat and veins bulging out.
Before the fifty sticks were finished, Shen Qingmo had already started rolling his eyes.
But since Tuoba Ruoli didn't say to stop, no one dared to stop and they finished the fifty sticks seriously.
When everyone let go of their hands, Shen Qingmo slid to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Tuoba Ruoli stood up, slowly walked to Shen Qingmo's side, and looked down at him.
"When I'm in a good mood, I'd like to call you father."
"However, this does not mean that you can truly regard yourself as the father of this palace."
"From now on, if you don't do things according to my instructions, if you dare to play tricks or pretend to obey but actually disobey, you will get more than just fifty sticks."
Shen Qingmo lay on the ground like a dead dog, gasping for breath, staring at Tuoba Ruoli with his eyes open, but unable to utter a word.
He had always thought of Tuoba Ruoli as Lin Ruoli, the little girl who always longed for his care.
That's why he dared to do this.
But now, he realized one thing deeply.
Tuoba Ruoli is no longer the Lin Ruoli of the past.
He always thought he was very smart, but he couldn't even understand such an obvious and simple thing.
Today’s beating was really worth it!
Tuoba Ruoli didn't get an answer from Shen Qingmo, but she didn't care. "Send him back and find an imperial physician to see him. Don't let him die for the time being."
Shen Qingmo was quickly carried away.
The place where the beating had just taken place was also cleaned up thoroughly.
Tuoba Ruoli had just sat down when Lin Siqiong came.
Lin Siqiong didn't say anything, but just kept staring at Tuoba Ruoli.
"What are you looking at?" Tuoba Ruoli asked impatiently.
Lin Siqiong's lips curved up, "I'm just watching, you really are even better than me!"
At such a young age, she was beaten with fifty sticks by her biological father. Before that, she almost killed Mrs. Lin who loved her and Zhu Xuezhen who taught her.
She definitely didn't have this kind of mentality when she was Tuoba Ruoli's age.
Tuoba Ruoli raised an eyebrow, "Isn't this great?"
...
Yu Youning and the other two got on the carriage, and Huo Qingchen immediately asked, "Youning, was that man's face really bitten by Qiongqi?"
Yu Youning shook his head. "It shouldn't be. Tuoba Ruoli was right. If it was Qiongqi, they would have eaten it whole. They wouldn't have just bitten its face and dumped the body in the river. That would have been completely unnecessary!"
Chu Huaixu nodded, "I thought so too. I've already had someone keep an eye on it, and I think there will be results soon."
Just as Chu Huaixu said, they had just reached the temperature when the news from the secret guards came: Tuoba Ruoli had Chen Qingmo beaten and almost killed him.
Although the distance was quite far and I couldn't hear what the father and daughter were saying, I could guess what they were saying based on what happened before.
Shen Qingmo's beating must be closely related to that corpse.
This also indirectly confirms that the person who wanted to harm Zhu Xuezhen was Tuoba Ruoli.
Huo Qingchen said seriously, "This Tuoba Ruoli is really crazy now."
Everyone wants to kill.
Everyone will be harmed.
How did she become like this?
Yu Youning touched his chin and said, "Ah Xu, that King Cheng is going to hold a horse race tomorrow. Could it be that he wants to harm you during the race?"
Chu Huaixu nodded, "It should be."
Huo Qingchen's eyes widened, "Then why are you going?"
"Don't be so nervous!" Yu Youning patted Huo Qingchen's shoulder gently. "He will definitely find ways to harm Ah Xu anyway. In that case, why not give him a chance?"
"Youning, have you figured out what to do?"
"No! But I know how to counter each move! Let's talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow!"
The most important thing is that I don’t have to go to the Imperial College for classes tomorrow!
Chu Huaixu asked Liuyun to go to the Prince of Nan'an's Mansion and tell the Prince of Nan'an about the general situation.
King Nannan also knew that since he had no evidence, he could only endure it for the time being.
A night passed, and the next morning, many dignitaries arrived at King Cheng's horse farm.
King Cheng was in a high position of power, and he was holding a horse race, so some people wanted to come.
Those who don't want to come don't dare not come.
