As soon as Su Xuening said this, the entire room fell silent instantly, the atmosphere heavy and solemn.
Zong Jiu and the other palace servants all lowered their heads in fear, unconsciously holding their breath.
Xuan Yuanzhan was extremely embarrassed, but Su Xuening held his hand tightly, making him feel for a moment that such embarrassment was not so bad.
Bai's face darkened instantly, and she looked at Xuan Yuan Yu with a sullen expression.
Xuan Yuan Yu's face turned deathly pale as he looked at Su Xue Ning in disbelief.
He never expected Su Xuening to complain in public.
"Xuanyuan Yu!" Xuanyuan Peng's face darkened instantly, and he slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.
The furious voice startled Xuan Yuan Yu so much that he jumped.
Zong Jiu and all the palace servants in the room were so frightened that they knelt down instantly.
"He doesn't need us to serve him tea!" Xuan Yuanzhan hated this kind of scene the most. He pulled Su Xuening up from the ground and dragged her out without looking back.
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan leave like that, Xuan Yuanpeng was instantly disappointed and even angrier at Xuan Yuanyu.
Seeing that Xuanyuan Yu had left with Su Xuening, Bai Shi lost interest in sitting down and stood up with a cold face: "I will not disturb His Majesty's teaching of his son."
When the palace servants heard Bai Shi refer to herself, they broke out in a cold sweat.
She's probably the only one in the entire Eastern Chu who refers to herself as "this palace" in front of the emperor, yet the emperor still dotes on her.
Sure enough, seeing that Bai was about to leave, Xuanyuan Peng immediately glared at Xuanyuan Yu with a stern face: "Drag the Third Prince to the torture chamber and whip him one hundred times."
"Father!"
Xuanyuan Yu looked up in horror, about to beg for mercy, but Xuanyuan Peng didn't give him the chance at all: "You should know where my bottom line is. If you do it again, it won't be a matter of a hundred lashes!"
Xuan Yuan Yu knew from Xuan Yuan Peng's eyes that he was truly angry, and dared not say another word.
But deep down, he was still resentful, and his anger towards Xuan Yuanzhan grew stronger and stronger.
It's always been like this since he was a child. Whenever he insults Xuan Yuanzhan and his father finds out, he will definitely be whipped. From five or ten lashes when he was a child to a hundred lashes now, his father really has the heart to do this!
However, Xuanyuan Zhan only has hands and no mouth, so he never complains. He can't beat Xuanyuan Zhan, but even if he curses at Xuanyuan Zhan, Xuanyuan Zhan won't complain. On the contrary, if he gets beaten badly by Xuanyuan Zhan, his father will feel sorry for him.
Over time, he became more and more adept at dealing with Xuan Yuanzhan, but who would have thought that he would be defeated by Su Xuening today?
Why would Su Xuening help Xuan Yuanzhan harm him? Could it be that she has truly fallen in love with Xuan Yuanzhan?
The mere thought of this possibility made Xuanyuan Yu want to kill someone.
As soon as Xuanyuan Yu's murderous intent arose, several eunuchs stepped forward and dragged him out.
Xuanyuan Peng also gave Zong Jiu a wink.
Zong Jiu immediately understood and led all the palace servants out of the main hall, considerately closing the hall door behind him.
On the way to the torture chamber, Xuan Yuan Yu saw Xuan Yuan Zhan leading Su Xue Ning out of Cheng Qian Palace. He was immediately consumed by jealousy and screamed, "Xuan Yuan Zhan, let her go!"
Xuan Yuanzhan was still torn between letting go of Su Xuening or not, mainly because he didn't have the nerve to keep holding her hand.
Hearing Xuan Yuan Yu yelling at him like a madman, he got angry. Instead of letting go, he held Su Xue Ning's hand even tighter and raised their clasped hands to taunt Xuan Yuan Yu: "Are you out of your mind!"
Su Xuening is already his wife, why can't he hold his own wife's hand?!
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's childish behavior, Su Xuening secretly glanced at him.
It's hard to imagine that Xuan Yuanzhan has such a childish side. It seems that this childish side of him is brought out whenever he encounters Xuan Yuanyu.
Xuanyuan Yu was instantly enraged by Xuanyuan Zhan: "Xuanyuan Zhan, you just wait, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
Xuanyuan Yu desperately rushed towards Xuanyuan Zhan, but he was held back by the eunuchs and could not rush over. He could not move his hands and could only pretend to kick with his feet.
His movements were so forceful that even several eunuchs almost couldn't hold him back.
The eunuchs looked at Xuanyuan Zhan pleadingly.
My goodness, please hurry and take the princess away, they really can't hold them back any longer.
The Emperor was furious just now; if these two were to fight again, things would get out of hand.
Xuan Yuanzhan was too lazy to argue with Xuan Yuanyu, so he took Su Xuening's hand and left.
Watching the two figures leave, Xuan Yuan Yu became frantic again and struggled desperately.
The eunuchs couldn't restrain him at all, so they quickly summoned a few more people and hurriedly took him to the torture chamber.
Chengqian Palace.
Once the room was empty, Xuan Yuanpeng got up and came over to coax Bai Shi: "Ya'er, Yu'er is just being silly, don't mind him."
Just as Xuanyuan Peng was about to take Bai Shi's hand, Bai Shi suddenly pulled her hand back: "You're twenty years old, and you've already married several women. Are you still so immature?"
As Bai spoke, she snorted coldly again: "I think he knows a lot, after all, what he said is absolutely right!"
Xuanyuan Peng knew she was really angry, so he quickly hugged her and coaxed her, "Ya'er, I know you and Zhan'er have been wronged."
Bai Shi didn't want to listen to this nonsense at all. She pushed the person away and looked at her own dimpled nails, saying with self-mockery, "What is there for me to be aggrieved about? It was because I was afraid of death and followed you back then. It was because I willingly degraded myself. It was because I willingly humbled myself."
Hearing Bai Shi say these words, Xuan Yuanpeng recalled what happened twenty years ago and felt a pang of heartache: "Ya'er, don't say that. It's all my fault. I was the one who threatened you, I was the one who clung to you, I was the one who insisted on having you. It has nothing to do with you!"
