Chapter 403: Beating with a stick

Baili Yunhe suddenly stood up and said lightly: "Come here, drag this blind man away and give him fifty strokes of the cane!" When

he opened his mouth, almost all the ministers silently set their eyes on him.

Even some of the poor actors had shock on their faces.

That eunuch Liu was a favorite of the Southern Qi Emperor.

For so many years, the emperor had never ordered a beating.

As a result, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince allowed someone to be dragged down and beaten just to please the Regent of Beiling Kingdom? Eunuch

Liu raised his head in panic and looked at Baili Yunhe.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please spare my life. I know I was wrong and I will never dare to do it again!"

At the door, two guards walked in and grabbed Eunuch Liu's shoulders directly.

The expression of Emperor Nanqi was very ugly. He said with a sinister look: "Crown Prince!"

All the ministers could hear that Emperor Nanqi was angry!

The two guards who dragged Eunuch Liu away stopped and seemed to be a little entangled. They stood there and dared not move, waiting for the next order.

Baili Yunhe bowed to Emperor Nanqi and saluted: "Father, I am just punishing a palace maid who said something wrong. This person spoke wildly and intended to misinterpret the emperor's will and provoke the alliance between Nanqi and Beiling. Is my decision wrong?" Emperor

Nanqi found that his son's words were like a soft knife cutting meat.

It didn't seem to have much offensive power, but it was very painful.

He was about to speak when Prime Minister Lin, who stood at the head of all officials, suddenly took the initiative to stand up.

This Prime Minister Lin was one of the officials that the Crown Prince wanted to report for accepting gifts.

However, now, Prime Minister Lin said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did this for the sake of the reputation of the Southern Qi Kingdom. He only gave him a beating, and did not kill him. This is already a pardon outside the law."

Hearing this, Eunuch Liu felt a little weak in the knees.

It seems that he can't escape this beating today. If he is beaten

with fifty big boards like this, even if he doesn't die today, he probably won't live for long.

He looked at the Emperor of Southern Qi with fear, and there was a pleading look in his eyes.

The Emperor of Southern Qi closed his eyes and suddenly realized that marrying Baili Yunhe might be the biggest mistake he had made!

This person hasn't even married yet, and Prime Minister Lin has started to take sides?

As Prime Minister Lin spoke, many civil and military officials in the back spoke for the prince.

"Your Majesty, we support the decision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing that half of the officials in the court had expressed their opinions, Emperor Nanqi felt his brain buzzing.

He even seemed to see a few words on their faces.

Stop pretending, show your cards

In less than a year, the crown prince Baili Yunhe has been supported by more than half of the officials in the court

He really doesn't know whether his ability is too poor or his son is too charming!

The veins on Emperor Nanqi's forehead bulged, and his eyes were jumping with anger. He slowly said: "Drag him down and beat him."

This time, the emperor issued an imperial decree, and no one would plead for Eunuch Liu anymore.

Eunuch Liu looked ashen and was dragged away by the guards.

The hall was completely silent. This dead silence made many people feel uneasy.

Even the Emperor of Southern Qi felt that things should not have developed this way.

Originally, when the Regent of Beiling Kingdom came to his territory, he should have been treated as a dragon and a snake

. However, as soon as he arrived at the palace, he was given a direct blow and one of his confidants was eliminated with just one sentence!

Baili Yunhe slowly raised the corners of his lips, turned around and bowed slightly to Prime Minister Lin and others, indicating his thanks.

Prime Minister Lin immediately showed an expression of flattery and surprise.

Including him, there were many officials who held real power in the Southern Qi Kingdom behind him. They all looked at the prince with respect and obedience, which was a gesture of submission from the heart.

Baili Yunhe slightly raised the corners of his lips, and then said to Ling Fengxun and An Yunxi: "Don't be polite, just sit next to me."

An Yunxi's eyes brightened up when she looked at her third brother.

She didn't hesitate and sat directly on the chair next to Baili Yunhe. The distance between the two tables was only about two steps away.

She lowered her voice, tilted her body slightly, and asked in a very low voice: "Third brother, your father won't be angry if you do this, right?"

Baili Yunhe heard the words and raised his eyebrows lightly. In his cold eyebrows, the smile seemed to bloom like a short-lived flower.

"I said I would protect you. This is Nanqi. This time, I will host."

These words were a bit overbearing.

But An Yunxi liked it very much.

Whether in Beiling Kingdom or Nanqi Kingdom, she felt like someone was protecting her. It was so good.

The Emperor of Nanqi took a deep breath and calmed down.

His eyes swept over the ministers who had just stepped forward to help the prince, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "My dear ministers, what are you all standing there for? This banquet is for the regent prince and princess of Beiling Kingdom. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the ministers saluted in unison, and then sat down in their seats.

As the time was almost up, rows of palace maids came in from the back, and then placed the teacups and drinks in their hands neatly on the table in front of everyone.

Ling Fengxun calmly moved the table next to An Yunxi, right next to her table.

Seeing this, An Yunxi's cheeks instantly flushed a little, but fortunately there was a veil covering her face, so people could only see the pink tips of her ears.

Many people in Nanqi had heard of An Yunxi's name.

After all, she was once known as the most beautiful woman in Beiling .

Compared with their Nanqi's most beautiful woman, Princess Zhaoyue, I wonder if this most beautiful woman in Beiling is really true.

Therefore, when An Yunxi came in, many eyes were secretly looking at her.

However, many eyes were blocked by Ling Fengxun's tall figure.

Ling Fengxun took the wine on the table in front of An Yunxi, and then said to the maid who came to deliver the wine: "Do you have any good wine?"

The maid's face immediately became tense, "Yes, I will get it for you now."

An Yunxi pulled Ling Fengxun's sleeve.

"Prince, no need to bother."

However, Ling Fengxun narrowed his eyes slightly, not treating this place as outside at all.

"You have never drunk this kind of wine in the mansion. I am not taking my beloved concubine out to wrong her."

Baili Yunhe naturally heard what Ling Fengxun said.

His brother was not a decoration.

"Wait a minute."

The maid realized that the Crown Prince was calling her, and she knelt on the ground subconsciously.

Baili Yunhe gently opened his lips and said, "Go and bring the Jinque Qiong wine that I have stored here to the princess for a taste."

The maid was stunned. She remembered that this kind of wine was only offered once a year.

This year, when the prince returned, the emperor himself was reluctant to drink it, so he specially gave it to the prince.

However, she did not dare to hesitate: "Yes, sir!"
