Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun.
"That's all the questions you guessed?" Yu Jingchen's tone wasn't very friendly.
Nan Zhiyun knew that she had guessed wrong all three times. Today's punishment was unavoidable, and not only unavoidable, but likely severe. She could only pray that she could bear it.
Seeing Nan Zhiyun's expression, Yu Jingchen felt inexplicably displeased and immediately became somewhat angry. So he asked, "Then tell me, how should we deal with those crimes you just mentioned?" Yu Jingchen was also angered.
"A capital offense," Nan Zhiyun replied. All those charges combined, to put it bluntly, were indeed a capital offense.
The item that Yu Jingchen personally picked up was a reward, or even a royal gift, and she spat it out in front of him, which was extremely disrespectful.
To put it bluntly, it was an act of contempt for imperial authority and disrespect for the emperor's power. Moreover, he vomited in front of Yu Jingchen, which can be considered as doing something filthy in front of the emperor...
Moreover, he made Yu Jingchen wait outside for so long. Who in the world would dare to make the emperor wait? So, if Yu Jingchen wanted to, he would have to bear any amount of guilt.
Nan Zhiyun no longer wanted to struggle. She knew that Yu Jingchen would never sentence her to death, but that was precisely why he punished her so severely.
As expected, Yu Jingchen was really angry.
"Insolence!" Yu Jingchen truly lost his temper when he heard Nan Zhiyun say this. A capital offense—how could she even utter such a thing?
Of course, Nan Zhiyun would only assume that he was angry because of the "crimes" she had just committed.
Yu Jingchen's outrageous remark caused all the palace servants present to kneel down, including Nan Zhiyun.
Yu Jingchen was even angrier when he saw Nan Zhiyun's actions.
"Nan Zhiyun, you've really grown up, haven't you?!" Yu Jingchen roared.
"This concubine dares not," Nan Zhiyun replied.
"You dare not? What else are you afraid of? I think you're too daring, you can say anything!" Yu Jingchen didn't call out.
"I haven't dealt with you much these days, and I've given you a few hard looks. Do you think I really won't do anything to you?" Yu Jingchen had indeed lost control of his temper.
But... I mean, you weren't like this when you used to lose your temper. If you want to punish someone, just give the order directly. Why waste so much breath?
“I didn’t mean that…I am willing to accept any punishment Your Majesty may impose,” Nan Zhiyun replied.
But she didn't expect that her words would not calm Yu Jingchen down, but instead enrage him.
"Good, you're very good. You didn't read the palace rules ten times before, so even so, I'll add twenty more times as punishment, making it a total of thirty times. Start copying now! You don't need to rest until you finish copying!" Yu Jingchen ordered.
“…Yes,” Nan Zhiyun accepted, but…this was not like Yu Jingchen’s style. It wasn’t that the punishment was light, but it didn’t seem like the kind of punishment Yu Jingchen would give in a fit of rage. Nan Zhiyun had actually prepared for a severe punishment.
Right now, they're just copying palace rules...
"What are you standing there for? Start copying right now!" Yu Jingchen shouted again.
"Yes," Nan Zhiyun replied without further thought. She decided to copy it anyway and immediately began obediently copying the palace rules. However… well, Yu Jingchen had been standing guard beside her the whole time, showing no sign of leaving. But Nan Zhiyun dared not ask.
