Chapter 88 Disobeying His Majesty Resulted in Eighty Strokes of the Military Strike
Inside was Qin Yan, who had been imprisoned in the palace by Consort Zhen.
Qin Yan was furious and yelled in the room.
"Mother, don't waste your time. Even if you lock me up until I die, I will never marry that ugly woman. I have someone I love, and I will marry no one but her in this life!"
"Let me out!"
"Where are they? All the people outside have died there!"
"Mother!"
"Mother, please let me out! I have things to do tonight. If you don't let me out, you'll have to compensate me for all the losses!"
Qin Yan shouted until his voice was hoarse, but no one outside paid any attention to him.
Enraged, he kicked all the tables, chairs, and benches in the room.
The tables, chairs, and benches are fine, but my feet hurt more.
He was in so much pain that he was twitching.
A-Wu leaped lightly onto the roof beam. When Qin Yan kicked the table, her foot suddenly hurt, almost causing her to fall off the beam.
She forced herself to remain silent as patrolling guards passed by below.
Thanks to Qin Yan, this was the first time A Wu had ever experienced such pain.
After all, she had never experienced such pain in her foot when she kicked down a large tree.
Once the patrolling guards had gone far away, Awu leaped onto the roof, removed the tiles, and entered the palace from above.
Qin Yan was still frantically banging on the door when suddenly, he felt his heart inexplicably start to beat faster, and his emotions became uncontrollably excited and tense.
"What's going on?"
"Oh dear, Mother! Open the door quickly, my heart is pounding in my chest..."
"Your Highness Prince Yu."
The voice of the old nanny who served Consort Zhen came from outside the door: "Her Majesty said that you will be allowed to leave the palace whenever you agree to this marriage. Don't waste your time, pretending to be sick won't work."
"I wasn't faking illness; I'm truly feeling unwell..."
"Her Majesty also said that if you do not agree to marry Miss Bai, then she should pretend that she never gave birth to you as her son. It would be better for her to die of illness than to be angered to death."
Qin Yan: "..."
Is this still the same understanding and doting mother who always indulged him?
Motherly love is gone.
Qin Yan was howling in grief when someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
"Don't bother me, I've been abandoned..."
wrong.
The door is in front, so who came from behind?
Qin Yan turned around abruptly, and in his line of sight was Ah Wu's adorably angry face.
"A-Wu?"
He was both surprised and puzzled: "How did you get in?"
A-Wu glared at him angrily: "You kicked the table, and it hurt my feet."
Qin Yan was taken aback, only then remembering the love potion.
He looked down at A-Wu's feet and quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this."
"And why are you so angry?"
Ah Wu continued her complaint: "You're affecting me, it's so annoying."
"sorry."
Qin Yan was genuinely apologetic: "I'll be more careful in the future, please don't be angry."
He looked at her, then at the rest of the room, and asked in confusion, "How did you get in?"
"above."
Awu pointed to the roof.
When Qin Ye looked up, he noticed a hole in the roof.
"You're really amazing."
After offering a compliment, he asked, "Then can you take me away?"
Only after asking did I realize how absurd it was.
For a young girl like her to be able to enter this palace and find him successfully is already a very difficult thing. How could she possibly take a grown man out of here?
Without saying a word, A-Wu grabbed him, hoisted him up, and nimbly leaped onto the roof.
"ah……"
Qin Yan's terrified screams took several turns before disappearing into the horizon.
Those guarding the door, hearing such agonizing screams, couldn't help but feel worried.
"Your Highness's call is a bit strange. Could something really have happened?"
"Don't worry, His Highness is very cunning and won't fall for it."
“That’s right. Her Majesty is determined this time. If His Highness doesn’t give in, he can forget about leaving.”
The people outside were worried for a moment, but then felt relieved and at ease.
Little did they know, their prince had already been carried out of the palace.
Yun Si's carriage stopped at the palace gate.
Awu carried Qin Yan over the high wall and immediately spotted Yun Si waiting outside the palace.
She threw Qin Yan off her shoulder and ran quickly toward Yun Si.
Qin Yan was so dazed from the fall that she was still in shock.
He looked around and it took him a while to realize that he was actually outside the palace.
Is it really that simple?
Was it A-Wu who brought him out?
That's the imperial palace!
Ah Wu brought him out so easily without alerting anyone.
Qin Yan's eyes were filled with disbelief.
On the other side, Yun Si saw that A Wu had brought the person out, so she immediately got into the carriage and left.
By the time Qin Yan realized what was happening and tried to chase after the carriage, it had already sped away, leaving only a cloud of dust behind.
They left so decisively.
How heartless.
Qin Yan glanced at the palace and quickly ran away.
This time, he had to go far away so that his mother could feel the pain of losing her beloved son, since she had forced him to marry that ugly woman from the Bai family.
Besides, he has Ah Wu's love potion in his body now, how can he marry another woman!
...
The carriage arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and Yun Si lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage.
A young couple dressed in shorts and tight-fitting clothes were standing on the steps.
The two men were tall and straight, with clear eyes. Although they were dressed simply, they could not hide their neat and efficient demeanor.
Seeing Yun Si come down, the girl stepped forward first, cupped her hands in a respectful bow, and asked in a clear voice, "Are you Miss Yun Si?"
Yun Si nodded, her gaze sweeping over the two of them: "Indeed, and who are you two?"
"This is my younger brother, Fang Yi."
The girl stepped aside to let the man behind her pass: "We heard that Miss needs help. Our Fang family has received favors from the Marquis and his wife. If Miss doesn't mind, my brother and I will do our best to help Miss with her tasks."
“I’ve heard my third uncle mention you.”
Yun Si carefully examined the two of them.
Fang You's eyes were bright and lively, and half of a soft whip was faintly visible at her waist.
Fang Yi's posture was more composed, his fingers were distinct, and his palms were calloused, clearly indicating that he was a martial arts practitioner.
It seems fairly reliable.
"Fang Xiu, Fang Yi, let's go inside the mansion and talk."
Yun Si took the two back to Qiwu Garden.
"I'm sure I need people. If it's convenient for you, you can all stay. If it's not convenient for you, I won't force you."
"Please give your instructions, Miss."
Fang Xiu immediately said that she and her younger brother Fang Yi were both willing to stay.
Since that was the case, Yun Si did not refuse.
"Fang Xiu, keep an eye on someone for me for the time being, and pay attention to all her words and actions."
It seems a waste of talent to have someone like Fang Xiu keep an eye on Lin Shuyan.
Yun Si thought that she would replace her when she found a suitable candidate.
"As for you."
She turned her gaze to Fang Yi, and after a moment of contemplation, said, "You will stay by my side and serve as my coachman when I travel."
"yes."
The brother and sister spoke in unison, and neither of them had any objections.
“Go back today and come to the manor tomorrow. I will have Granny Qian bring you into the manor according to the normal procedure, which is in accordance with the rules.”
"Yes, Miss."
Upon hearing this, the two readily agreed.
After the two left, Yun Si took some time to visit the Marquis's residence to check on the craftsmen and see if their work was going smoothly.
Only after confirming that everything was normal did he feel relieved and return to the Prince's residence.
In the afternoon, before Qin Ye returned, the news came back first.
As expected.
King Jing, Qin Mu, successfully became the Grand General of the Golden Guard.
After his military achievements, Emperor Jiaqing did not bestow any substantial reward upon him upon his return. When Qin Ye proposed that Qin Mu take over the Jinwu Guard, Emperor Jiaqing readily agreed.
The ministers in the court were dumbfounded.
They didn't even have a chance to speak before the matter was already settled.
So smoothly.
Yun Si was half pleased and half worried.
She always felt that things would continue to unfold in the same direction as in her previous life.
The Jiang family will not give up on Qin Ye, whose power is gradually rising, and will definitely keep a close eye on him.
That's not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is His Majesty's thoughts and His Majesty's attitude.
For several days in a row, Yun Si was preoccupied and her eyelids kept twitching.
She had a premonition.
A very strong, bad feeling.
Sure enough, that afternoon, Mu Ze hurriedly returned to report.
"Your Highness, something has happened!"
Yun Si's heart sank, but she asked calmly, "What is it?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
Mu Ze sighed deeply, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?"
Yun Si's calmness was somewhat frightening: "Speak quickly."
"His Highness disobeyed His Majesty and was given eighty lashes!"
"..."
Yun Si's face turned pale, and she took two steps back abruptly.
Eighty strokes of the military rod, wouldn't that take half his life?
How could this old emperor be so heartless!
Qin Ye has done so many good things during this period. If he makes a mistake, can his merits and demerits be offset?
Where is he?
Lan Xin and Lu Yu supported Yun Si from behind, and she managed to stand up: "Take me to see him."
"You'd better not go to the palace. His Majesty is in a bad mood right now. Doctor Ji has already entered the palace, and there are also imperial physicians in the palace. You don't need to worry too much. I just came back to tell you that His Highness may not be able to move for the next few days and will need to rest in the palace for a while."
"Why?"
Yun Si is not easily fooled.
"His Highness is so badly injured, why can't I, as his queen, enter the palace?"
"..."
Mu Ze was speechless.
"His Majesty is in a fit of anger, would he possibly take it out on me?"
"Please, I beg you, don't ask anymore."
"Tell me the truth, and I won't ask."
"What I'm saying is the truth. During this time, Your Highness, you should stay in the manor quietly and not run around. Don't let His Highness worry about you when he's seriously injured."
After saying that, he turned and left without giving Yun Si a chance to ask any more questions.
Yun Si clenched her fingers into a fist.
My fingertips were slightly white.
Even if Mu Ze didn't say anything, she could guess.
Why would Qin Ye disobey His Majesty for no reason?
What could have caused Qin Ye to disregard the distinction between ruler and subject, and between superiors and inferiors, and to act so irrationally?
Wouldn't all his previous efforts have been in vain?
Eighty strokes of the military rod.
Yun Si couldn't imagine what a terrible situation Qin Ye must be in now.
Mu Ze said that His Majesty was in a bad mood, so she could not enter the palace.
I'm afraid it's not because she's worried His Majesty will take his anger out on her, but rather...
