Shen Yuerong's words reached Yuetong's ears. She glanced at Bai Xue coldly, then spoke with a cold face.
"Sister Princess, are you planning to break up with me?"
The fact that she could say this was already a threat to Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong stood there quietly, her expression did not change at all, but she spoke firmly as always.
"I guess the Saint is still young, but there is a truth in the world, that is, right and wrong are clear, and there is a way to be right and wrong, but you have to choose the way and method."
"The Saint is desperate to protect your maid, and I am also your consequence. If you can bear it, just pretend I didn't say it."
Shen Yuerong's words were also a threat to remind Yuetong that she was a saint, and it was not worth it to ruin her reputation of kindness and nobility for a maid.
As soon as she said this, Yue Tong's expression changed slightly, and she looked at Bai Xue thoughtfully.
Just then, Chi Mu suddenly stood up and spoke.
"I think it should be like what the Saint said just now. No matter who you are or what your status is, if you do something wrong, you should pay the price."
"Otherwise, in the long run, the country will lose its laws and people will lose their rules, and everything will be in chaos. The country will no longer be a country and the family will no longer be a family."
"What do you think, Saint?"
Chi Mu's words were meant to support Shen Yuerong and also to point out this matter.
If the saint doesn't deal with it in time, then they will do it.
Yue Tong also noticed it, so she could only turn her head away and pretend not to care.
Bai Xue was suddenly shocked and looked at Yue Tong in disbelief.
"Girl, you can't do this to me. I am loyal to you. If it weren't for me..."
She had just said half of her words when Yue Tong slapped her in the face and scolded her with a cold look.
"Don't think about blaming me for what you did. I've told you many times before, before you say or do anything, you should consider your family."
"I brought you here because I felt sorry for your mute mother and disabled father."
Bai Xue's face suddenly turned pale and she stood there with her hands hanging down, a gloomy aura surrounding her.
"I accept."
After a while, she repeated it again in a trembling voice.
"I accept court-martial."
Finally, a long bench was placed in the middle of the yard, and Bai Xue lay there.
Yue Tong remained silent afterwards. She sat there with red eyes as if she was extremely heartbroken, but she had no intention of saying a word to defend Bai Xue.
In her eyes, her future was more important than being a little maid.
Bai Xue lay on the bench, looking at Yue Tong with disappointment, a crystal tear sliding down her eyes.
At that moment, the sky turned gray and there was an oppressive feeling of impending storm.
The wind gently blew Shen Yuerong's hair, and she lightly instructed Taohua beside her.
Taohua glanced at Shen Yuerong, and finally did as she was told. She found the two guards who were enforcing military law and whispered something to them.
The wooden board fell on Bai Xue again and again, and the sounds of groans and cries echoed in the courtyard.
Bai Xue cried out in pain, her heart having already died of despair.
That's thirty lashes of the cane. After these lashes, it would be questionable whether she could continue to live.
She sobbed and thought the eleventh blow would fall, but she heard no sound.
Instead, he saw the guard next to him take back the board and turn away.
Bai Xue lay on the long bench, looking in the direction of Shen Yuerong in confusion, and asked: "What does the princess mean?"
Shen Yuerong stood there, a faint smile on her lips.
"You've already been beaten. There's no need to give you thirty lashes."
"For a woman, the consequences are too serious. Even if you survive, it may affect your future marriage and childbearing. My original intention was just to teach you a lesson."
"You can use an apology to replace the remaining twenty strokes of the cane. Apologize to Xing'er in person and pay for the medicine for the wound."
When Bai Xue heard Shen Yuerong's words, she cried even harder. She couldn't even utter a word. She just knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
Yue Tong, who was standing nearby, felt a burning pain on her face when she saw this scene.
Bai Xue was her maid, and it should have been her who stood up and begged for mercy.
But why didn't I stand up? I didn't expect Shen Yuerong to stand up at this time and put on a compassionate look.
She was so angry that her teeth were itching, but he was just acting, and his true colors would be revealed sooner or later.
Yue Tong called out unhappily, "Bai Xue, we should go back. I have already invited the doctor, who is already waiting in the yard."
At this moment, Bai Xue's attitude towards Yue Tong was a little strange, and it was unclear whether it was faith or resentment.
But in the end, he followed her back to the yard. As soon as he arrived, Yue Tong came up to him and comforted him gently and caringly.
"Bai Xue, I hope you can understand what I just said in front of the prince."
"The princess is not a simple person. I said that because I was worried that you would be cheated. Look, he finally came out to defend you. I saved you because I thought you were destined to be with me, but I also hope that you can live a good life."
As she spoke, she began to cry, looking very pitiful.
Seeing this, Bai Xue suddenly lost her temper and just spoke softly.
"Girl, I'm not angry with you, I just feel like I went too far in the past."
"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely change."
Yue Tong was stunned by her repentant look. The reason why she chose Bai Xue to be her personal maid was simply because she was nimble and dexterous.
He also has a hot temper and behaves badly to others.
But only in this way can I seem to appear more pure and kind, fitting the image of a saint.
More importantly, her father was once the high priest of Dengxingtai in the capital.
Because he offended someone, he was exiled to the border, but he passed on his skills to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue can tell at a glance whether it will be sunny or rainy soon, and can even calculate the exact time.
Yuetong discovered this matter accidentally, so she deliberately broke her father's legs and kept her by her side.
Bai Xue had no idea what Yue Tong had done, but was deeply moved by it.
"Thank you for your reminder, young lady. I will not betray you. Please believe me."
Yue Tong finally felt relieved and pretended to be unwell and went back to her large room to rest.
After the door was closed, Yue Tong entered the dark room through a mechanism, wrote a letter and sent it out.
This letter was sent to the capital city thousands of miles away through secret guards. When the prince received the letter, his eyes suddenly turned cold. It seemed that his plan had to be advanced.
So the prince wrote a reply, asking Yuetong to quickly follow Chi Mu and others back to Beijing to facilitate the implementation of the next plan.
It was a day after Yuetong received the letter, and here Shen Yuerong and Chi Mu returned to the room.
Chi Mu hugged Shen Yuerong tightly, with his furry head resting on her shoulder.
"Rong'er, I'm sorry for making you worry. Thank you for reminding me just now."
