Fortunately, he was getting anxious watching from the side. "Your Majesty, if you don't take the initiative soon, Consort Shu will be scared to death!"
"Consort Shu fell today, I'm afraid she can't stand for long," Xinglai said helplessly.
"I'm fine..." Nan Zhiyun's voice was barely audible.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. Can you say anything else besides 'it's nothing'? You fell and you said it's nothing, you were bitten by a snake and you said it's nothing, and now that something so serious has happened, you still think it's nothing? Nan Zhiyun, what are you thinking?" Yu Jingchen finally snapped.
Nan Zhiyun was suddenly yelled at, and already feeling wronged, she could no longer hold back her tears. But when Yu Jingchen saw her crying, he didn't go over to hug her and comfort her as usual.
“You didn’t cry when something so big happened, but now that everything’s alright, you’re crying. Nan Zhiyun, are you trying to drive me crazy? What did I tell you before?” Yu Jingchen couldn’t help but ask.
"I'm sorry..." Nan Zhiyun felt deeply remorseful.
"What good is 'I'm sorry'? Will your injuries heal if you say sorry? Will it make today's events disappear if you say sorry? I'm asking you, what did I say to you when I let you out today?" Yu Jingchen showed no mercy and continued to scold her. Seeing that Nan Zhiyun remained silent, he became even angrier.
"Did I tell you today that you can't ride a horse casually, and that I must be present when you ride? Did I tell you to put your safety first? Nan Zhiyun, did you listen?" Yu Jingchen's expression grew worse as he spoke.
"Riding horses is nothing, I won't pursue that. But why, after you went missing, did you still go in knowing there might be danger? Why did you take the risk? You got injured, bitten by a snake, and why did you hide it from me? You said you didn't want me to worry, but do you know that everything you did today worried me? I'm asking you a question! Are you mute? Don't you know how to answer?!" Yu Jingchen's last sentence was practically a shout.
Nan Zhiyun was so frightened that she shuddered on the spot; she was genuinely brought to tears by the scolding. Yu Jingchen had never lost his temper with her like this before, nor had he ever raised his voice at her so loudly, not even in the past.
"Your Majesty... Consort Shu must know she was wrong, please calm down." Even Xing Lai couldn't help but speak up for Nan Zhiyun. She was just too pitiful and miserable. Was His Majesty being too harsh? When His Majesty calms down and looks back on it, he'll probably be heartbroken.
"When has she ever said she knew she was wrong? Have you ever seen her say she knew she was wrong and then never make the same mistake again? I think she's just not persistent!" Just thinking about the unbearable consequences Nan Zhiyun might face today made Yu Jingchen's heart clench, and he felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger. He absolutely could not show any mercy today!
"Guards! Bring the cane!" Yu Jingchen shouted to the outside.
Punishment with a rod? Luckily, I was startled when I was put down. How could it be so serious?
"Your Majesty..." Xinglai still wanted to plead for him. But seeing Yu Jingchen's unyielding expression, he didn't dare to say anything more.
Nan Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words "punishment with a cane".
