Chapter 148: Really Waste
Xie Lao: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
After everyone left, Qi Junqi winked at Xun An.
He lowered his voice and said, "Go and inform Yi Yang that Xie Luo offended Sheng Yan by making a fuss about joining the army in the northwest, and was rewarded with a hundred palace sticks."
"Have them beat him lightly, and then beat him harder when Yi Yang arrives."
Xun An hid his lips and smiled secretly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will send someone to inform the Princess right away!"
Xun'an left the imperial study, called Xiaotongzi and whispered to him, and Xiaotongzi immediately left quickly.
Xie Lao thought that Qi Junqi would have someone take him away to be beaten with a stick, but he didn't expect that they would just set up a long stool in front of the door of the imperial study.
The guard holding a long thick stick received Xun An's signal and raised his hand to him and said, "Thank you, Envoy, please come in."
Xie Lao lifted his robe and nimbly lay down on the long stool.
The two guards holding the sticks looked at each other, raised their sticks high and then dropped them.
The stick landed on his buttocks. The insignificant force startled Xie Luo and he looked towards the door of the imperial study, but he met Xun An's meaningful eyes...
In order not to waste time, Xiao Tongzi rode the prepared horse straight to the princess's mansion as soon as he left the palace.
When he arrived at the princess's mansion, Qi Yue was still sleeping and had not woken up yet.
"Aunt He Xiang, something terrible has happened! Envoy Xie offended the Holy Word and was punished with a hundred palace sticks. He is about to be beaten to death! Quickly get the princess to the palace to rescue him!"
He Xiang asked in confusion, "Who is Envoy Xie?"
Xiao Tongzi explained: "It's the martial arts champion Xie Lao!"
Hearing this, she frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Then why don't you go to inform the Prime Minister's Mansion and Wen Zhuangyuan, and come to find the princess? The princess has nothing to do with Xie Sishi!"
Xiao Tongzi was blocked, but he rolled his eyes and quickly thought of a solution.
"Aunt He Xiang, you can't say that... Think about it, Xie Shidu... even if the top scholar is the princess' man, right? If it was Xie Shidu, the princess would definitely not sit idly by, right?"
He Xiang nodded: "That's true, but it's not Xie Shidu who is punished."
Xiao Tongzi continued, "Aunt, think about it, Shi Tutor Xie and Chief Envoy Xie are so similar. Now Chief Envoy Xie has offended the emperor and has been punished, and His Majesty is angry again."
"If I call Xie Shidu to rescue him, His Majesty might see that face and vent his anger on Xie Shidu again. Then I will have to notify the Princess to rescue him!"
He Xiang frowned and thought for a while, "...come with me."
He took the person to the main courtyard and said, "Wait, I will go and call the princess. If the princess doesn't go, you should go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again."
Xiao Tongzi nodded and watched her enter the boudoir.
As if he had sensed something, Qi Yue woke up slowly as soon as He Xiang pushed the door open.
She took small steps forward and whispered, "But I was too loud and woke the princess up?"
Qi Yue stretched and shook his head: "I didn't eat much last night, so I woke up hungry."
While helping her change her clothes, He Xiang said, "Then Princess, after lunch, you can take a nap later."
After she finished speaking, she hesitated to speak, and her tangled look made Qi Yue look at her for a second time, and said lightly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
While He Xiang was dressing her up, she slowly told her what Xiao Tongzi had said.
Qi Yue raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "One hundred palace sticks? Are you going to be beaten to death?"
He Xiang thought she was really distressed, but the next second she heard her say: "Then I have to go into the palace to see what's going on. I've never seen a newly crowned martial arts champion being beaten to death by a palace stick. This is quite novel!"
"Someone, serve the meal!"
He Xiang was stunned and asked stupidly, "Princess, aren't you going to set off?"
Qi Yue pinched her silly face and said with a smile: "You have to fill your stomach before watching the fun. Let's go and eat!"
He Xiang lowered her head and smiled: "The princess is smart, and I am stupid."
When Xiao Tongzi saw Qi Yue coming out, he thought that she was going to go to the palace with him to rescue people, so he said happily: "Your servant greets the princess, may the princess be safe and sound."
Qi Yue: "Xiao Tongzi hasn't eaten yet, let's prepare a table for Xiao Tongzi, and then we can go and watch the fun after we finish eating."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Tongzi stood there in a daze.
He Xiang: "Yes, Princess!"
Finally, when Xiao Tongzi burped and brought Qi Yue into the palace, Xie Lao had already used more than seventy of the one hundred palace sticks.
The two guards had to control the strength and speed of swinging the long sticks under the scorching sun, and they were sweating all over.
Xie Lao was sweating all over as he lay on the long stool. He couldn't help but urge, "Two big brothers, please fight faster."
The two guards looked at each other, the expressions on their faces were uglier than crying.
It's really not their fault, Mo Ji. It's really hard to disobey the emperor's order. Who knew that the eldest princess was so unreliable? They have been fighting for more than an hour, and the person hasn't arrived yet!
Xun'an stood at the door of the imperial study. Although he couldn't get any sun, he was sweating from anxiety.
Finally, after several people's anxious waiting, Qi Yue finally walked to the imperial study with her leisurely pace.
Why didn’t you take a carriage today?
The question is, I'm full and want to digest the food.
"Oh, it's so lively here? He hasn't been killed yet... Oh, I said it wrong, the fight isn't over yet?"
Two guards: ???
Xun An:!!!
Xie Lao: ...
The guard's stick paused for a second, and Xun An immediately winked at the two of them.
The hand holding the stick immediately clenched three times tighter, raised it high, and then dropped it hard, making a faint sound of wind in the air.
Two "bang bang" sounds came alternately. Xie Lao was frightened by the sudden pain and clenched his fists and clenched his teeth.
Xun An strode forward and said, "Greetings, Princess. Are you here to thank Envoy Si?"
"Xun'an, when did you become so cunning?" Qi Yue glanced at him with amusement, and then asked, "How many times have you been beaten?"
Xun An: "Princess, there are still eighteen sticks left."
Hearing this, she walked up to Xie Lao, stroked her chin and said seriously: "You've been beaten with more than eighty sticks. If you hadn't told me, I would have thought you had just started..."
He glanced at the two guards and said disdainfully, "Look at you two, you look like you haven't eaten. You've been beaten with more than 80 sticks but your butts haven't been broken. You're really useless!"
"Hurry up and get out of here. You can't even hit a palace stick properly..." Just when Xun An thought she was finally going to follow the plot and save Xie Lao from the dire situation.
But she suddenly pointed at He Lu and Leng Yue and said, "You two come here and teach them how to hit the board correctly!"
Helu/Lengyue: "Yes, Princess."
The two men rubbed their sleeves together, ready to take the long, thick sticks from the guards.
Xun An watched the scene in horror, only to see two maids raising their sticks and hitting with them.
Xie Lao was hit with only two sticks, but the veins on his forehead bulged and even the veins on his neck started throbbing.
He clenched his teeth tightly in pain, and muffled groans kept coming out of his throat.
Qi Yue said nonchalantly: "Beat him well for me, beat him until he can't get out of bed, and then lie down for ten days or half a month, and see how he gets angry again."
