Soon, the men below came over with canes and stood on either side of Nan Zhiyun. Nan Zhiyun trembled with fear, but dared not utter a single word of pleading.
Xing Lai also felt a pang of worry for Nan Zhiyun. Judging from the current situation, it seemed His Majesty was serious... He hadn't expected it to be this serious. He was finding it increasingly difficult to grasp His Majesty's thoughts.
Yu Jingchen could see Nan Zhiyun's fear, but even in this state, she still didn't plead for him, which made him even angrier.
"Nan Zhiyun, count for yourself where you went wrong today," Yu Jingchen told her to explain herself.
“I…I shouldn’t have ridden a horse alone; I shouldn’t have listened to those people and knowingly went into danger; I shouldn’t have hidden the fact that you were bitten by a snake; I shouldn’t have refused to take my medicine just now…” Nan Zhiyun told everyone what she had done that day.
"Disregarding your own safety is a serious crime, deceiving me is a serious crime, and ignoring my words is still a serious crime. Nan Zhiyun, have you thought about how you want to be punished?" Yu Jingchen asked her on purpose.
"I'm sorry... I know I was wrong, I caused trouble, I'm willing to be punished..." Nan Zhiyun cried so hard that her words became intermittent.
But Yu Jingchen was even angrier when he heard her answer. Willing to accept punishment? Didn't she know how to beg for mercy?
"You've been through this beating, you should know what it feels like. How much do you think you can endure now?" Yu Jingchen asked, barely suppressing his anger.
"I..." Nan Zhiyun cried, unable to speak, or perhaps she didn't know how to say it. She dared not look up, nor dared she look at the cane beside her. She was afraid; just seeing it out of the corner of her eye made her tremble. The feeling of the cane falling on her body was something she didn't want to remember.
Yu Jingchen slowly walked down from above, feeling extremely distressed as he looked at Nan Zhiyun, who was trembling all the time. However, since things had already come to this point, he naturally couldn't back down.
Yu Jingchen reached out and lifted Nan Zhiyun's chin: "Thirty strokes, fifty strokes, or a hundred strokes? Nan Zhiyun, you can plead for others, but when it comes to yourself, you don't know what to say? Do you really want to be beaten? Do you think you're indestructible?" Yu Jingchen's hand didn't use much force, but Nan Zhiyun didn't dare to break free.
"Speak!" Yu Jingchen roared again.
Nan Zhiyun trembled like a leaf, but she wouldn't utter a single soft word, let alone beg for mercy. Yu Jingchen was furious!
"Nan Zhiyun, do you really want to be punished with this cane today? Is your mouth sewn shut?" Yu Jingchen was unusually stern after he learned of his feelings for Nan Zhiyun.
Nan Zhiyun was genuinely frightened, knowing that Yu Jingchen was truly angered by her this time, so she immediately tried to kneel down, but Yu Jingchen grabbed her.
"Is it the same as before? You like kneeling so much?" Yu Jingchen had never realized that Nan Zhiyun could be so infuriating. Nan Zhiyun was a little at a loss as Yu Jingchen dragged her like this.
"I think you won't remember this until you suffer a little today." Yu Jingchen was really angry, and he really wanted to teach Nan Zhiyun a lesson.
Fortunately, I was anxiously waiting over there. Consort Shu, if you had just said one word for yourself, His Majesty wouldn't be so angry! Why are you so stubborn?!
