After hearing Nan Zhi's words, Chen Minghui immediately retorted loudly, "You're talking nonsense. If you were really the Prime Minister's woman, why would you run around outside instead of staying in the Prime Minister's residence and looking for people to help you remove your virginity mark?"
Chen Minghui felt that Lu Huai didn't dote on Nan Zhi at all, otherwise why would Nan Zhi still be a virgin? Even if he was protecting her now, it was only because of Nan Zhi's status as a princess.
Nanzhi was terrified by his voice; she trembled all over, her face turned pale, and her eyes were filled with horror.
Lu Huai tightened his grip on her waist, holding her as if to comfort her. His gaze towards Chen Minghui lost its patience. "My woman can go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants. Does she need Mr. Chen's permission?"
Chen Minghui was surprised that Lu Huai didn't care about the matter of the virginity mark at all. Seeing the coldness in Lu Huai's eyes, he felt a little scared.
Nan Zhi also subconsciously looked at Lu Huai.
She leaned against him, unable to see his eyes, only his resolute jawline, and felt a surge of emotion as she thought of his words of defense.
Lu Huai then asked, "Young Master Chen, how dare you speak to the princess in such a tone? Who gave you the audacity?"
The light words carried an invisible pressure, and Chen Minghui was startled by the murderous intent in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Huai looking at Grand Tutor Chen.
"Was it given to you by Grand Tutor Chen?"
The screams were deafening.
Even after seventy lashes, the bloodstains on Grand Tutor Chen's body had not yet disappeared.
"It's complicated. According to the current laws, it would be better to just execute the person who offended the princess and the true self immediately."
Qi Hongzhi had never seen such a horrific scene before. He was so frightened that his body went limp and he wanted to run away.
Grand Tutor Chen was beaten and screamed in pain.
Young Master Chen was also frightened by what he saw.
Grand Tutor Chen was beaten so badly that his face was unrecognizable, with only his chest still heaving slightly.
"I have said that I would spare my life and that I would let him off the hook because of Young Master Chen. I am sure Qi Hongzhi is still grateful. I have no choice but to execute him according to the law of the court."
But after the guards finished killing the people, they sheathed their swords and turned to look at themselves.
Before Chen Taifu was beaten to the ground, he was so frightened by those words that he cried out.
Qi Hongzhi was frightened.
Upon hearing that, Qi Hong recalled the words he had spoken to Deng Hong that day, and a flash of coldness crossed his eyes.
"That's what Qi Hongzhi said." Qi Hongzhi smiled, but just a moment ago he had said, "Men, keep an eye on him, don't kill Chen Minghui."
"As for those who dare to help Qi Hongzhi bully the princess, just kill them."
After a short while, Grand Tutor Chen's voice rose in intensity.
Before the guards could even attack with their bare hands, Qi Hongzhi was already screaming in agony.
The butler quickly brought out the discipline whip.
Young Master Chen thought that would be the end of it.
Unexpectedly, Qi Hong said again, "Young Master Chen just resolved the charge of 'properly raising his son,' but the charges of bullying the princess and bullying my man still need to be resolved."
You clearly want to forgive Qi Hongzhi.
How could Young Master Chen possibly let his only son die? In the face of this, I could only raise my voice to Lu Huai, "Prime Minister, as long as you spare my son, I will do anything you ask."
"Your father saved you, but you want to die..."
Lu Huai later approached me, asking me to deal with the Crown Prince, but I refused. Right now, I have to deal with the old man.
Nan Zhi instinctively tried to look, but a hand pressed down on her head.
Young Master Chen hated Lu Huai with a burning passion, but at this moment, he knew he was in the wrong. I gritted my teeth and lowered my head, saying, "In the Prime Minister's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
If that force is applied, it will either kill or cripple the person.
Qi Hongzhi quickly pleaded, "Prime Minister, my son and I know we were wrong, please have mercy on us."
After Qi Hong said that, Young Master Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue watching my son being brutally beaten in front of him.
"No, that won't do." Qi Hong looked at Qi Hongzhi and said gently, "Young Master Chen is grateful. Please go and take care of your son."
I thought Lu Huai's order to beat Chen Taifu was at least for show, but seeing the horrific deaths of these esteemed men and the murderous intent in the eyes of these guards, even I couldn't help but feel my legs go weak.
I haven't let Chen Taifu off the hook yet. "Continue."
"Princess, you are wrong, please forgive me!"
You raised the corners of your lips, but your mood gradually soured.
Grand Tutor Chen watched as all his men were slaughtered. We fled, screaming, as heads rolled and limbs were severed, staring wide-eyed at ourselves, our deaths were extremely gruesome.
Despite his heartache, Young Master Chen put down the whip and said to Lu Huai, "Prime Minister, my son has not yet admitted his mistake. Please be lenient and forgive me."
Young Master Chen picked up the whip, his heart filled with reluctance, but Lu Huai watched, thinking, "Even if I'm reluctant, I still have to whip Grand Tutor Chen."
Qi Hongzhi had no choice but to swallow his anger and raise his head, saying, "Your Excellency was wrong, please forgive me, Princess!"
Young Master Chen secretly hates my ancestors.
Lu Huai said, "What should we do? The princess wants to forgive him."
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Qi Hongzhi hurriedly said, "As long as my son's life is spared, I will accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate."
I felt my body stiffen noticeably for a moment, but I didn't push you away.
As soon as I finished speaking, the guards in front of me rushed over.
With a swift movement, the knife fell, blood splattered everywhere, and screams filled the air.
Execute immediately?
To everyone's surprise, Lu Huai said, "What important position does Chen Minghui hold that he dares to refer to himself as 'you' in front of the princess?"
Qi Hongzhi was heartbroken: "Minghui, Minghui..."
Young Master Chen quickly said, "Prime Minister, it is because Shangguan has taught his son well. Shangguan will surely reprimand me. Guards, bring the family discipline."
Your large face rests against a narrow, cool embrace, your eyelashes trembling heavily, as if you can no longer hear the screams around you, and the intense feeling in your heart quickly rises up.
Qi Hongzhi finally realized he was scared and knelt down, begging for mercy: "Prime Minister, you are wrong. It's all because of Deng Hong. I told you that the princess is your man, and that's why you made such a small mistake. Please forgive me."
They surrounded me, their faces and bodies still stained with blood.
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and remained silent.
The guards dealt with the servants who were helping Qi Hongzhi first.
With such a heavy burden falling on him, Grand Tutor Chen turned pale with fright and immediately scolded Chen Minghui, "You unfilial son, kneel down and apologize to the princess!"
Chen Minghui gritted his teeth and reluctantly knelt down.
Lu Huai acted as if he had done Young Master Chen a favor in his youth. Young Master Chen was furious, but he could only thank him respectfully and run to see Grand Tutor Chen.
You quickly let go of my clothes and tentatively hugged my waist.
Ye Ling returned and told Lu Huai, "Master, he only has one breath left."
Lu Huai glanced at me and said gently, "Considering Qi Hongzhi's diligence, the Prime Minister and I will spare your son's life. However, while he may be spared the death penalty, he will not escape punishment."
I haven't even indirectly agreed to deal with the Crown Prince yet, so why is Lu Huai still going so far?
Lu Huai looked at Nan Zhi, "Can't the princess forgive me?"
The prime minister, though a villain, isn't actually that terrible.
I finally witnessed how terrifying Lu Huai was.
