Chu Li was not afraid of punishment. He had been tough since childhood, but he didn't want to have anything to do with the Regent.
He looked at Emperor Chu for help.
Master Jiang was the first to speak up: "Your Majesty is wise."
"?"
Mr. Jiang!
You are my teacher!
How could you do this?
Master Jiang was really relieved. The Ninth Prince had been naughty and unwilling to study since he was young. If he could be disciplined by the Regent himself, he would be able to stand up for himself in the future, and his efforts over the years would not be in vain.
Chu Jinglin urged: "Hurry up."
If you stick your head out, you'll get a knife. If you hide your head, you'll get a knife.
Chu Li had an unyielding look on his face, but he was also ready to die, so he had to slowly stretch out his hand.
He stretched out his right hand, then immediately retracted it and replaced it with his left hand.
Chu Jinglin couldn't bear to see her hunching her elbow and moving as slowly as a turtle, so he grabbed her elbow and pushed it forward to help her.
"Seventh Brother!"
Why are you grabbing her hand?
Chu Li jumped up in anger, and was hit with a ruler the next second.
Bang!
The crisp sound of a ruler hitting the palm of his hand echoed in the imperial study, and the palm of his hand turned red and almost bled.
Beads of sweat immediately broke out on her forehead, she almost bit off her tongue, and almost cried out.
Chu Dichi looked at her coldly and raised the ruler.
The sound of it falling again seemed no less than a whip hitting flesh.
The crisp sound was like skin and flesh being torn apart.
Several ministers felt their scalps go numb as they imagined themselves being hit by the blow... The Regent had been on the march for many years, so his strikes were as sharp as a sword.
He showed no mercy.
Chu Li tensed up in pain and tried to pull his hand back several times, but was caught by him every time.
How had she offended him?
“Hmm!”
"Um--"
He bit his lower lip tightly, his eyes turned red, and the anger in his heart reached its peak, surging straight to the top of his head.
He wanted to kill her more than once just because she was the emperor's son.
He hated his father.
She hates him.
She'd always hated him!
After twenty strokes of the cane, Chu Li was sweating profusely, the back of his underwear was soaked, and his lower lip was almost bitten to bleed, but he didn't utter a sound.
Chu Jinglin gloated over the misfortune, and the anger in his belly subsided by a little. He said with a fake smile:
"Ninth brother is really a tough guy."
Chu Dichi glanced sideways: "It's your turn."
“Uncle…Ah!!”
With a swipe of the ruler, Chu Jinglin fell to his knees on the ground. Blood spurted out of his palms, his flesh was torn apart, and even his bones could be seen.
If it happens two or three more times, I'm afraid my hand will be broken.
Upon seeing this, the King of Chu just frowned and said nothing.
The regent taught the two princes a lesson and treated them equally, so his intervention seemed biased.
Chu Di said slowly, "The Ninth Prince didn't even scream. It seems that the Seventh Prince is not as strong as the Ninth Prince."
-
When leaving the imperial study, Chu Li's legs felt weak and he took one deep step and one shallow step, feeling dizzy.
"My Lord!"
Outside, Gou Ba, who was waiting, ran over hurriedly, and when he saw the bloody palm, he almost cried out in pain.
Beside them, Imperial Consort Jing hurried forward and supported Chu Jinglin, who was not much better off than Chu Li, "Lin'er, how did you get hurt like this?"
Chu Jinglin's voice was weak from the pain:
"The emperor's uncle punished us, mother. Several ministers are in there. It should be because of cousin Fang's matter. But Chu Li and I have been punished, and we dare not speak up to plead for cousin Fang."
Imperial Noble Consort Jing had a rough idea in her mind.
I’m afraid Fang Haiyang can no longer keep his position as the crown prince.
If he continues to speak out, this will be the fate of the Seventh Prince.
That's all.
Fang Haiyang was deprived of his throne, and there are several illegitimate sons in the Duke's Mansion. There is no need to anger the emperor because of her mother's family affairs.
"Huilan, go and ask the imperial physician to treat the Seventh Prince."
Gou Ba supported Chu Li and returned to Zhaolan Palace.
Soon, the Eighth Prince Chu Aotian rushed over and said, "Ninth brother, how come you are injured again? Didn't you just recover from falling off a horse some time ago? Is it because of your bad luck this year?"
It's not the year of the Tai Sui.
It's the regent who is guilty.
Ever since the Regent returned triumphantly to the capital and stayed in Beijing, Chu Li has not had two days of peace.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard about what happened in the Duke's Mansion and also got the latest news from the Imperial Study. Do you want to listen?" Chu Aotian came closer with a curious look.
"oh?"
Chu Li sat up straighter and stretched out her left hand. Gou Ba was applying medicine and bandaging her.
Chu Aotian looks mysterious:
"After you left the Imperial Study, more than a dozen ministers came one after another, reporting that the Duke's son had no sense of shame at the Autumn Banquet, was violating morals, and tarnished the reputation of the noble lady, and requested that the Emperor punish him severely."
"The Emperor has issued an order to depose Fang Haiyang from his position as Crown Prince and his inheritance rights. The Duke's Mansion is extremely anxious."
As expected.
This was the ruling made by the Regent.
Basically, there will be no major changes in the matters he makes the decision on.
"I heard that you went to the Autumn Banquet and witnessed the whole process. A lot of interesting things must have happened. Tell me about it." Chu Aotian couldn't wait, "Biejiu, bring me a soft stool to lean on."
Chu Li glanced at him:
"You come to my Zhaolan Palace and act as if you were at home. Did you know that your mother smashed my mother's palace a few days ago?"
Chu Aotian paused:
"I know, but didn't your mother kill the koi fish in my mother's pond when she was proud last month?"
Chu Li sneered: "Last month, your mother pretended to have a headache in the middle of the night and tricked the emperor away from my mother's bed."
"..."
There is no need to talk about such private matters!
Chu Aotian waved his hands, looking angry: "You said that last month, your mother pretended to be pregnant to win favor, but when the imperial physician came to check her pulse, he said that she just ate too much and had a bloated abdomen."
The two looked at each other, staring at each other:
"Your mother..."
"Your mother..."
"Your mother!"
Gou Ba and Bie Jiu stood by and served, with their heads down and not daring to speak.
At this time, a young eunuch came to report outside the door:
"The Regent has sent someone to see you."
Chu Li frowned and saw Chong Feng coming in. His face was gloomy and cold, not looking good. "What's the matter?"
Chong Feng bowed slightly as a gesture of greeting, then took out a milky white porcelain bottle from his sleeve.
"This is a top-quality wound medicine with an excellent blood-clotting effect. It is used by the army. If you apply it to the wound, it will start to scab over in just one day. The master has specially ordered me to deliver this medicine to the Ninth Prince."
He put it on the table.
Chu Li saw this and sneered, "The cat cries over the rat."
False compassion.
Chongfeng paused slightly.
The master was a little too harsh today, but that was unavoidable. He was angry, so only giving me twenty strokes of the stick was already very merciful.
"Ninth Prince, you have applied the medicine, please rest early. The master has his reasons for doing this. Please be gentle to the master in the future, after all, we will meet many more days in the future."
We are in the same imperial capital, we can see each other when we look up or down.
The more stubborn the Ninth Prince is, the more losses he suffers.
Chong Feng bowed, "I'll take my leave."
Chu Li was already filled with humiliation and resentment, and when he returned to Zhaolan Palace, he had to listen to Chong Feng say this.
how?
The Regent beat her, or was it her fault?
And let her be more docile?
Is this human language?
"Who wants his medicine?" He grabbed the porcelain bottle and smashed it on the back of Chongfeng's head, "Take his hypocrisy and get out!"
Chong Feng's eyes darkened and he felt a pain in the back of his head.
"Gou Ba, from today on, put up a sign outside Zhaolan Palace, prohibiting the Regent and dogs from entering!"
The next day.
Early in the morning, Gou Ba crawled into Zhaolan Palace, "Master, something bad has happened!"
And he suffered a serious setback.
"My Lord!"
"Last night, General Qin killed Prince Fang of the Duke's Mansion and was taken to the Sky Prison!"
