Chapter 80: Take him out and give him fifty strokes of the cane
Lin Xue's heart tightened when she heard these words suddenly. She unconsciously raised her head and looked at the young emperor who looked like a god.
His beautiful amber eyes were cold and indifferent, and his beautiful features were cold. However, because of his weak body, he looked like he had no hostility.
He gave people the illusion that he would break at any time and had no killing power.
However, the longer she looked at him, the more she could gradually discover that behind his seemingly weak appearance, there seemed to be an endless abyss, which slowly, slowly dragged her in and broke her.
Lin Xue was slightly startled, lowered her head, and tightly grasped the medicine box, calming down and saying: "Your Majesty, the ancient book was passed down by my master. Before my master passed away, he repeatedly reminded me to keep it well and not let outsiders read it."
"Humph, Miss Lin Xue, do you mean that the emperor is not worthy of reading your ancient book?"
Eunuch Hong said faintly.
Lin Xue knelt down with a thump, "I have no such intention, but my master's last wish, I cannot disobey it."
"Humph, what a must not disobey, you are clearly despising the emperor's authority, which is really disrespectful!"
Eunuch Hong's shrill voice was shaking with force.
[Wow, Eunuch Hong is so awesome! So awesome! 】
Lin You looked at Eunuch Hong's angry expression, and immediately looked at him with admiration.
Hearing this, Eunuch Hong's serious expression almost froze.
The Queen praised him, so does that mean that he hugged the Queen's thigh?
Haha, as long as he hugged the Queen's thigh, the Emperor would not have a chance to chase him away!
"Eunuch Hong, how should the crime of disrespect be punished?"
Lin You blinked in puzzlement.
"Reply to the Queen, the crime of disrespect will be punished by confiscation of property and exile if it is serious, and caning if it is minor."
【Damn, is it so serious! 】
【Confiscation of property and exile, that won't work, my grandmother is still in the General's Mansion! Moreover, the General's Mansion was a reward that my grandfather fought for on the battlefield and risked his life. If he was confiscated and exiled, my grandmother would die on the spot! 】
"Drag her out and give her fifty lashes of cane."
Lin You was about to speak when he heard Shen Jing'an beside him utter a cold and indifferent remark.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Xue's face suddenly turned pale.
Fifty lashes of cane, isn't this asking for her life!
"Someone come..."
As soon as Eunuch Hong spoke, a black figure flashed in front of Lin Xue, and his obsidian eyes stared at Shen Jing'an solemnly.
Shen Jing'an's frail face still had a faint expression. He was not surprised at all that Shen Yinlai would stand up. After all, Lin You had expected it in advance, and Shen Yinlai was here to support Lin Xue.
But he overestimated himself.
"Eunuch Hong..."
Shen Jing'an uttered in a low, hoarse and cold voice. Eunuch Hong immediately ordered the imperial guards to capture Lin Xue and drag her out. Lin Xue struggled and called Concubine Chan and Shen Yinlai.
Seeing that the emperor was serious, Concubine Chan dared not speak for her.
Instead, she blamed Lin Xue in her heart for being a brainless, useless waste.
It was just an ancient book. It wouldn't make the emperor lose a piece of meat if he read it. She was really confused and deserved to be punished.
Lin Xue was pressed on the board. At that moment, she panicked. "Your Majesty, I know my crime. I can give you..."
"Beat."
Before she finished speaking, Lin Xue was hit hard by the stick. The pain made her lose her voice on the spot.
"Your Majesty..."
Another stick came down.
"Four..."
She looked for help at the black figure standing in the hall. She only uttered one word, and the third stick came down. A stream of blood rushed to her throat and vomited out.
Maybe the blood star disturbed her vision. She saw the black-clothed boy who was looking at her with a sinister expression. His obsidian eyes, which had only been for her, revealed ruthless indifference.
In his eyes, it seemed that she, his sister, no longer existed.
"Puff--"
A few more blows came down, and Lin Xue spat out another mouthful of blood.
In the blur, she seemed to see that the black-clothed boy picked up a pen, wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to Shen Jing'an. Then she heard Eunuch Hong calling for a stop. Her buttocks, which had been beaten to pieces, finally did not have to be beaten with a stick anymore.
The black-clothed boy also walked towards her.
It turned out that she had really seen it wrong. Shen Yinlai did not refuse to help her, nor was he indifferent to her. He still liked her.
Before she fainted, Lin Xue heard Shen Jing'an say coldly, "Throw her out of the palace."
[Wow, the sickly emperor is so handsome when he goes crazy, so lovely! So cool!]
Lin You propped up her chin, her charming eyes with pink love bubbles, staring at the cold-faced Shen Jing'an with admiration.
Shen Jing'an's cold face was flushed by her burning gaze and her shameless voice. Concubine
Chan looked at the two of them and saw that they didn't care about her feelings, just exchanging glances, and the handkerchief in her hand was torn to pieces.
Why can Lin You get the emperor's favor, why!
Just now, Lin Xue was about to take out the ancient book, but the emperor didn't give her a chance to speak and directly punished her. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to punish Lin Xue.
It was obvious that he was venting his anger on Lin You, the jerk.
And Shen Yin came. What's wrong with him? Didn't he like Lin Xue very much? Why did he just stand there and beg the emperor to let her go when he saw that Lin Xue was dying?
How come all the men with the surname Shen are so heartless and fickle!
There is really no good thing about them!
Concubine Chan was furious, but she could only bite her teeth and swallow it.
--The
Protector General's Mansion.
"Madam, the young lady was seriously injured and was carried back."
Lian was taking a nap at noon, and the housekeeper's voice drilled into her ears in a panic.
Having her sweet dream disturbed, Lian frowned so hard that she could pinch a fly to death.
"If you want to be beaten, then be beaten. What does it have to do with me?"
The housekeeper was stunned by her yelling, and said with a stiff face: "But madam, the young lady was brought back by the Fourth Prince."
"Fourth Prince!"
Lian stood up from the recliner abruptly, straightened her clothes and hair, and walked towards the door.
She had no control over what happened to Lin Xue, but since the Fourth Prince was here, she had to go to greet him.
Shen Yinlai brought Lin Xue to the front door of the mansion and stopped, with no intention of going in.
Beside the bier, Lin Xue's servant kept sobbing softly.
She didn't understand what Shen Yinlai did today.
If it had been in the past, the Fourth Prince would have been extremely distressed and would have hurriedly carried the girl to the clinic. But today, not only was he not in the least bit panicked or distressed, he did not even let anyone take her into the clinic when they passed by.
Instead, he took her directly back to the General's Mansion with a cold expression, as if he had become a different person.
"Your servant has seen the young prince."
Lian came to the door of the mansion, and without even looking at Lin Xue lying on the stretcher, she walked straight up to Shen Yinlai and saluted.
Shen Yinlai glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard said to Lian: "Madam Lian, today your young lady angered the emperor in the palace. The emperor only punished her with caning because of your contributions to the country. If it happens again, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."
