Chapter 179 It Really Looks Like Acting, Acting Like It’s Real
He Zhaojun struggled hard: "That's Shao Shang's son-in-law! How could I just stand by and watch him die!"
Wen Ziduan raised his lips and smiled, then took her arm and walked out. No matter how she struggled, he refused to let go. "Ever since you pleaded for Zisheng just now, I've been furious. Now it's finally his turn to be executed. Do you think I'll let him go? Otherwise, how about you take the beating for him?"
Shao Shang sighed. Wen Ziduan, truly, couldn't distinguish between good and evil, and even caused the situation in which Zhaojun's sister was forcibly dragged away by him. Anxious, she followed Emperor Wen, unable to help but glance down at the crowd.
Ling Buyi was lying on a bench with a heavy expression on his face. He Zhaojun was sitting at a table beside him with Wen Ziduan holding her shoulders. She was obviously very uncomfortable. She wanted to stand up but was also held down by Wen Ziduan.
Wen Ziduan paced slowly, counting leisurely: "One, two, three..."
Seeing the military stick falling, Shao Shang became anxious: "The Third Prince underestimated once, I heard it! He, he, he deliberately underestimated each time, so that Zisheng would feel more pain! Your Majesty, don't you do anything about it?!"
Emperor Wen was happy to see her anxious. He picked up the teacup, moistened his throat, and did not answer her: "Shao Shang, stop making trouble here." When Shao Shang heard this, he turned around and ran down the city wall.
He Zhaojun gritted her teeth and looked at Wen Ziduan. Wen Ziduan smiled and leaned over to stand in front of He Zhaojun, blocking Ling Buyi from being beaten. "Thirty-six, thirty-seven..."
"That's enough! Don't really hurt General Ling!" He Zhaojun was anxious. She looked around to see what Ling Buyi was like. If she attacked Ling Buyi now, she would lose her combat effectiveness.
Wen Ziduan grabbed the back of her neck and forced her to look at him. "If you plead for him again, I'm afraid I'll really take revenge and have you severely beaten."
He Zhaojun thought of the fear of being dominated by the military stick, and her eyes suddenly turned red. Seeing the teasing on Wen Ziduan's lips, she knew that she was being fooled by him, and quickly covered her eyes.
"Go ahead and hit me! I won't care anymore, okay?" But as she covered her eyes, the sound of the stick hitting flesh was so painful that she couldn't help but let out a sigh.
Only when he heard Shao Shang rushing to the stage and yelling, "Zisheng! Zisheng!" did Wen Ziduan stand up. "How dare you! You dare to barge into an execution ordered by the emperor?"
Shao Shang yelled, "Shut up! You just gave Zisheng an extra beating! Don't think I didn't see it! The emperor didn't specify the severity or severity, but you clearly wanted to kill him!"
He Zhaojun became nervous after being called out by Shao Shang. When she heard Ling Buyi's groan of pain, she covered her eyes and called out to Wen Ziduan, "Third Prince, Third Prince, please withdraw your magical powers and stop fighting."
She just said she would pretend, but she didn't say she would really hit me so hard. Why is it different from what I imagined?
"Sister Zhaojun, don't ask him!" Shao Shang said, and was about to rush in.
When He Zhaojun opened her eyes, she saw that Ling Buyi had been beaten to a pulp, his skin torn and blood all over the place. Without caring about anything else, she rushed forward to try to stop the execution, but Wen Ziduan quickly grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him back to her side.
"Beat him, beat him hard!" Wen Ziduan ordered the executioner. Shao Shang cried even harder when he heard it, his voice became hoarse, and he struggled forward.
Emperor Wen narrowed his eyes from the tower and called out to Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue: "Hey, look at these two, Ziduan and Zhaojun, they're really putting on a good show! Zhaojun has truly made a significant contribution to the reconciliation between Zisheng and Shaoshang!"
