Chapter 227
Although Liu Jun had intended to show mercy, the narrow and cramped space still made Yin Zijin feel extremely uncomfortable. He was wearing thick clothes, but at this moment he felt as if his whole body was tightly clamped in a bamboo cage, unable to move at all.
Not only that, he was hung up high, his body completely deprived of freedom, and even the slightest struggle became futile.
Yin Zijin couldn't help but frown slightly. The uncomfortable feeling surged into his heart like a tide, making it unbearable for him. Finally, he couldn't help but hum twice.
But just as the voice came out, he suddenly realized that this seemed a bit rude, so he quickly closed his mouth tightly, holding back the pain and not making any sound. I saw him biting his lips tightly, his brows still furrowed, silently enduring it all.
Liu Jun, who was standing by, took in Yin Zijin's appearance. He shook his head slowly, with a hint of helplessness and confusion in his eyes. He did not speak, but asked in a silent way: "Is it really worth it to do this for the persistence in your heart?"
Not long after, several people came in one after another and soon arrived at the solemn and dignified court.
Yin Zijin's delicate body was tightly trapped in a small bamboo cage. His miserable appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone present. Especially the small three-inch golden lotus, which poked out from her skirt. Suddenly, everyone's eyes shifted to Yin Zijin's three-inch golden lotus...
Liu Jun stood in the center of the court. His originally deep and sharp eyes were now even colder and more fierce. He looked at everyone expressionlessly, then slowly said, "Listen carefully, everyone! The emperor has issued an order. This woman is so bold and rebellious that she dares to disrespect the emperor!
The emperor was furious and ordered that he be hung at the gate of the clan house for seven days to warn people all over the world not to imitate such a treasonous act! ”
After he finished speaking, Liu Jun waved his arm and carefully placed a white veil on Yin Zijin's head. The veil was as soft as a thin cloud, yet it just blocked everyone's curious and inquiring eyes, leaving only a hazy figure for people to imagine.
Then, Liu Jun nodded slightly and signaled to several Jinyiwei beside him. These well-trained Jinyiwei immediately understood what was going on. They quickly and in unison lifted the bamboo cage containing Yin Zijin and walked out the door with steady and powerful steps...
Looking at the heart-wrenching scene in front of him, Sheng Yixuan, who was standing next to the queen, was suddenly shocked. His eyes widened, his face full of shock, but in that shock there was a trace of heartache that was difficult to conceal. He just moved and rushed out without hesitation.
At this moment, the queen beside her was quick-witted and quickly reached out to hold Sheng Yixuan tightly. At the same time, she shook her head vigorously and said in a low voice anxiously: "Don't be impulsive! Even if you don't care about the position of the crown prince, you have to think carefully about the future of Miss Yin Liu.
Besides, now that His Majesty has issued an edict, if you rashly leave now, wouldn’t that be tantamount to openly defying the imperial order? Moreover, although the relationship between you and Miss Yin Liu has been tacitly approved by the elders in your family, only a few people actually know about it.
If you come forward to plead for Miss Yin Liu at this moment, wouldn't his reputation and chastity be ruined? After such an incident, I am afraid that tomorrow, those pedantic and stubborn old guys in the Censorate will write letters to impeach Lord Yin. So at this critical moment, you must not cause any more trouble to the Yin family..."
Sheng Yixuan listened to the Queen's words. Although he understood the reason in his heart, his eyes still looked outside with unwillingness. Looking at Yin Zijin who was suffering, and knowing that he could do nothing, a deep sense of frustration surged in his heart, making him feel like a complete loser.
Seeing this, the Queen patted Sheng Yixuan's shoulder gently, then sighed deeply and said, "Child, I know you care about Miss Yin Liu, but there are some things we have to think about carefully.
The majesty of heaven is not something we can defy. Besides, Miss Yin Liu’s behavior was quite bold, so let’s just take this as a lesson…”
At this time, the wide gate of the clan house was crowded with people. Many Jinyiwei dressed in gorgeous clothes were holding long swords and driving away the crowd that gathered to watch the excitement.
They had stern faces, sharp eyes, and quick and powerful movements. After a short while, they successfully pushed the crowded crowd outwards for a distance, freeing up a relatively open space.
Right in this open space, a bamboo cage more than one meter tall suddenly appeared in front of everyone. This bamboo cage was originally placed upright, but now it has been placed flat on the ground.
I saw a burly Jinyiwei strode to the bamboo cage, bent down, and reached out to connect a thick iron chain to the top of the bamboo cage. He held both ends of the chain tightly with both hands, pulled hard, and then quickly wrapped it around the bamboo cage, round and round, until the entire bamboo cage was tied tightly and securely.
Trapped in the bamboo cage, Yin Zijin had long lost the ability to move freely. His petite body could only lie helplessly in this narrow space, unable to stretch his limbs. Although the gaps between the bamboo strips were not large, they were enough for her to feel the coldness of the outside world and the strange looks from everyone.
Afterwards, several Jinyiwei worked together to hang the bamboo cage high at the gate of the clan house. Several Jinyiwei surrounded the bamboo cage and prohibited anyone from approaching.
But even so, it couldn't stop everyone's curious gazes. In an instant, the number of people paying attention to the princess and Du Lin in the court gradually decreased, and all their attention was attracted by Yin Zijin...
Everyone started to whisper again: "It seems that he just talked a lot, but the emperor still punished him."
"Hey! I'm telling you, those words are just for show. If they really get divorced, the woman will suffer the most. You have to say it! Women should still abide by the code of conduct for women. Chastity is the most important thing. Supporting the husband, raising children, bearing children, staying in the backyard, and serving the husband well are the most important things."
"Look, this girl is lucky to be of high status. She should be from the Yin family, one of the four great families. If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would have been thrown into a pig cage by now instead of being hung at the gate of the clan house."
"Hey! You saw it, it really looks like three-inch golden lotus. These days, it's rare to find someone who can tie three-inch golden lotus! With three-inch golden lotus, you can marry into a good family. But now that she's making a fuss, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married!"
"Oh! That's for sure! At least she's lost her position as the principal wife. Even an ordinary family wouldn't marry a woman like this as their principal wife. Such a good girl, instead of staying in the boudoir, she does such unethical things..."
Some wretched people smiled and said: "This girl is pretty, and she has three-inch golden lotus. My family is in business, and we don't have much, but we have a lot of money. This girl can marry me as a concubine. I really want to hold those three-inch golden lotus in my hands and play with them..."
"I'm telling you, I've been to Yangzhou, there are many brothels there, and there are many skinny women with good looks. But compared to this girl, they are nothing. If this girl entered a brothel, she would definitely be the top girl in the entire Great Sheng Dynasty.
The guests who enter the curtain, with jade arms and pillows, must be mostly men..."
