How could Nan Zhiyun not be afraid? But she just wouldn't speak up to plead for herself, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Yu Jingchen glanced at the cane the person next to him was holding. Nan Zhiyun noticed Yu Jingchen's gaze, and then heard him say, "Give it to me."
The person holding the cane brought it to Yu Jingchen's side. This cane was as thick as Nan Zhiyun's arm. If it were used to strike, Nan Zhiyun's body would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Nan Zhiyun trembled violently as she watched Yu Jingchen's hand touch the cane. She was afraid of this; she had been subjected to it before, so she subconsciously feared it.
“Thirty is too light, you can’t remember it. One hundred is too heavy, you can’t bear it…” Yu Jingchen seemed to be pondering how much would be appropriate.
"Your Majesty... Consort Shu must know she was wrong, a few words are enough..." Fortunately, seeing that Yu Jingchen really wanted to take action, he was anxious for Nan Zhiyun. It wasn't for any other reason, but he knew that if His Majesty really laid the stick, Consort Shu would definitely not be able to bear it in the end.
In the end, once His Majesty calms down, he will most likely feel heartache and regret, and at that time, they will be the ones who suffer...
"Go and bring the bamboo sieve over," Yu Jingchen instructed again.
Bamboo caning? Fortunately, he seemed to have thought of it, so he gave a look to the people below. When Nan Zhiyun heard that they were going to bring bamboo caning, she also thought of her previous experience of being caned. Whether it was a cane or flogging, it was something she could not bear.
Soon, the servants brought over the bamboo canes. These bamboo canes were made of bamboo, and some were made of bamboo roots. They hurt quite a bit, but were much lighter than the cane. They were about four fingers wide. The ones they brought were similar to rulers, one one finger wide and the other two fingers wide.
Nan Zhiyun felt uneasy, but fortunately she wasn't as worried as before. It seemed that His Majesty didn't really intend to take drastic measures.
Yu Jingchen glanced at the things they brought up, frowned, but said nothing.
"Should I choose for you, or should I help you choose?" Yu Jingchen still referred to himself as "I," but Nan Zhiyun, who was in a state of fear, probably couldn't tell.
Nan Zhiyun lowered her head and remained silent. She didn't want to choose, but there was nothing she could do if she didn't speak up. Yu Jingchen didn't have that much time to waste on her right now.
He looked directly at the bamboo scoops that the two people next to him had brought out, and chose the one that was about an inch long, roughly an arm's length.
"If you don't choose, then I'll have to choose for you." Yu Jingchen's words sounded completely devoid of emotion.
Nan Zhiyun trembled there, but she didn't have the courage to defend herself, much less resist. Her current attitude truly provoked Yu Jingchen. Recalling what had happened today, Yu Jingchen's anger burned even brighter. If she was afraid, why didn't she say so? She was the same when she was injured, and she's still the same now.
"Are you really not afraid? Are you really willing to accept the punishment?" Yu Jingchen asked again. If Nan Zhiyun was afraid and pleaded for him, he wouldn't need this thing anymore.
But... Nan Zhiyun is always so stubborn.
"Hmm," Nan Zhiyun agreed, even though she was scared. This time, she had really angered Yu Jingchen.
"You chose to accept the punishment yourself, so don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Yu Jingchen didn't want to ask any more questions. He looked at the thing in his hand and then waved it forcefully to the side.
