Chapter 11 Twenty lashes

Although Linci is absent from Beijing all year round, due to his status, there are people who are willing to come up and make friends. The Prince of Xining sighed, and countless people wanted to come up to inquire and see if they could help the Prince of Xining solve his problems in exchange for Qingyun's favor.

road.

So Linci only had to go out for a walk, and those dignitaries would take the initiative to inquire about it. But in one day, the entire Weiling nobles knew about it, and everyone scorned the Chengning Hou Mansion and him more and more.

And this is exactly the effect Linyin wants to achieve.

After the eldest princess of Hengyang came back, she told her family about the queen's words and gave the pearl to Linyin.

Linyin scoffed and threw the orb casually into the box.

"When I left the palace, I saw that the chamberlain beside me went to Chengninghou Mansion and asked someone to inquire about it. He said that the Holy Master had rewarded Du Guangji with twenty lashes." Princess Hengyang said.

"There is still some sincerity." Linjue was not satisfied, but he knew that the most he could do was go so far.

"That's right. If you think you can get away with just one bead, you're looking down on us a little bit." Linci curled his lips.

Linyin was noncommittal, "I'm quite responsible. I thought they would push Mr. Xue out to take the blame."

After all, when faced with such a thing, the woman would usually be blamed, saying it was the concubine who seduced her. The eldest wife and the concubine were at loggerheads, but the man with the biggest problem was sitting on the Diaoyutai.

Several people chuckled.

"In this case, I estimate that I will have to stay in the house for two more days." Linyin added. With a small body like Du Guangji, he received ten strokes and twenty whippings. I'm afraid it will take half a month.

I can't feel well anymore.

"This is a happy thing. It just so happens that Aci and I will return to Xining in more than ten days. During this time, it will be good to be able to reunite as a family." Linjue said with some relief.

He was the king of Xining, commanding 400,000 Xining troops. He also served as the governor of Xining and was in charge of the affairs of more than a dozen states. It was only after his own daughter got married that he had time to return to the capital.

Because his wife was in charge of the Xishan Camp, she stayed in Beijing for a long time. The family spent less time together and separated more, so they rarely saw each other. Thinking of this, Linjue couldn't help but feel lonely.

"It's good, our family will be reunited in these days. Ayin and I are responsible for Weiling's affairs, so you don't have to worry." Princess Hengyang comforted her.

Linjue held the hand of the eldest princess of Hengyang, and the whole family was happy.

Different from the harmony in the Xining Prince's Mansion, the Chengning Marquis Mansion was screaming incessantly at this moment.

Du Guangji, who had been beaten ten times in the morning, was not fully recovered yet and was carried to the courtyard to be beaten again.

The whip fell one after another, and Du Guangji couldn't help but scream.

Mrs. Cheng Ninghou was extremely grief-stricken. If her sleeves had not been tightly held by Cheng Ninghou, she would have rushed out right now.

Although the eldest princess of Hengyang went to complain to the Queen, the people who came over were the Holy Emperor's people. If the Queen's people came and saw Du Guangji lying on the bed, they might be more accommodating, but they were the Holy Emperor's people.

Although the relationship between the Holy Emperor and the Queen was good, how could they feel so sorry for Du Guangji as the Queen did.

In addition, the Holy Emperor's succession to the throne was entirely dependent on Princess Hengyang. He was grateful and afraid of Princess Hengyang, and he would not feel sorry for Du Guangji.

Standing next to Cheng Ninghou and his wife was their youngest son, Du Guanglei.

Regardless of appearance, talent or temperament, Du Guanglei is far inferior to Du Guangji. Normally, Cheng Ninghou and his wife don't care much about him, but today the Holy Father said that the Du family should watch the execution together, so Cheng Ninghou and his wife went to arrest Du Guanglei who was living and drinking outside.

Found it back.

Du Guanglei's face turned pale when he saw his brother being beaten like this, and his initial drunkenness had long since dissipated.

After all twenty lashes were given, the chamberlain stepped forward and replied, "The Holy One has said that it is better to dissolve this enemy than to marry. The prince and the princess are husband and wife, so it is best for them to stay together for a long time."

"Of course." Cheng Ninghou forced out a smile.

"It's good that Marquis Cheng Ning is sensible." The chamberlain smiled slightly.

Marquis Chengning looked at the attendant beside him. The attendant immediately took a bag of silver and gave it to the chamberlain. After saying a few flattering words, he sent the chamberlain off.

As soon as the chamberlain left, Mrs. Cheng Ninghou couldn't help crying. She looked at Du Guangji lying on the bed and couldn't help but said: "You are talking about marrying a noble girl. This is obviously a Yaksha star."

"Shut up." Cheng Ninghou's face darkened, "Don't you think you've caused enough trouble?"

Du Guanglei looked confused, "Dad, mother, what's wrong with eldest brother and sister-in-law? Isn't this just the first day? Why is there such a big fuss?"

Shouldn't the eldest brother accompany his sister-in-law back home?

"What kind of sister-in-law? She is a superior princess, how can we be a family with her?"

"Have you said enough?" Cheng Ninghou couldn't help but angrily scolded him. He looked at Du Guangji on the bed. This son was good at everything, but he couldn't handle women's affairs.

"You are not the good son you raised. He left the bride behind on the wedding night. This is also your son. If he is your son-in-law, wouldn't you be angry? If it is the daughter of an ordinary person, that's fine. He is the princess of Changle County

What can be humiliated? Even if the Holy Lord is in front of Princess Hengyang, he must be nice and angry."

Mrs. Cheng Ninghou was yelled at for no reason, and she only felt aggrieved.

Du Guanglei on the side heard this and just understood a little bit. Looking at his mother's aggrieved look, he couldn't help but defend himself: "It must be the little bitch who acted as a monster. My eldest brother is usually the most polite. How could he do this?"

thing?"

When Mrs. Cheng Ning heard this, she also felt it made sense.

Du Guanglei continued: "Why don't you drive that little bitch to Zhuangzi? The princess will be satisfied."

"That's an idea." Mrs. Cheng Ninghou nodded, "It's just that I'm afraid it won't be easy for my son to have concubines in the future. I'm afraid he will have to stay with that female Rakshasa for the rest of his life."

"Don't talk too much about a female Rakshasa. If she hears it, the slaps that fell on Guang Ji's face will probably fall on your face." Cheng Ninghou said dissatisfied.

He took a breath and continued: "But what you said is somewhat true. It seems that this matter also happened because of the Xue family. Although Princess Changle looks down on the Xue family, she is afraid that she will inevitably resent her. In this way,

Send Mrs. Xue away tonight, and tomorrow you go and take the wife of the minister's family to invite the princess back together, so as not to save the queen from trying to make peace with her."

He said that Lin Shilang was Lin Jue's cousin, Lin Yuan.

Linyuan had served as an official in Xingzhou for a period of time, and he had some friendship with them. Linyuan's wife, Yang, was also acquainted with the Yao family, so he asked her to come forward to make peace. I think people in the palace of Xining Prince would also use this favor.

After all, we are all a family, not to mention that if this matter gets too big, it will probably not sound good.

Yao Shi nodded.

Cheng Ninghou's face improved now, and he was about to give a few more instructions when Du Guangji on the other side suddenly said, "No, no."
