Qian Ertong didn't want to say much to Qin Rushuang. After finishing a few words, he raised his head anxiously, waiting for Qin Rushuang's reaction.
Qin Rushuang kept lowering her eyes and thinking.
It wasn't until Qian Ertong got a little anxious after waiting that she sighed and said: "I don't need to say more about the difficulties and obstacles on this road... I have never disliked your legs being crippled. If you want, I can
Let you and Qingzhi go to a place with mountains and rivers to retire in peace, and you can still be the prosperous money shopkeeper like before. Only the way you mentioned..."
Qin Rushuang looked straight at Qian Ertong: "Have you really thought about it? The difficulties and obstacles you will encounter in the future, the various things you will encounter in the future... are not as simple as being a big shopkeeper in the Du Chamber of Commerce.
.”
Qian Ertong nodded firmly, "I know that neither Miss nor Qingzhi ever thought that I was a burden, but... to be honest with Miss, firstly, I really want to help Miss, and secondly, I...I..."
Hatred flashed in his eyes.
"Don't I hate it? Don't I complain? I also want to take a breath for myself. I also want those who stand on high places and want to push me out with just a few words. I want them to have a taste..."
"Okay, I understand what you mean. No need to say more. After returning to Beijing, we will always get the results you and I want if we work together."
…
at the same time.
In Xie Xun's tent.
In order not to be criticized, Xie Xun took off his outer robe and only made a white inner coat.
Naturally, he did not need to kneel when an outsider was executing the execution, so he stood upright.
When the eunuch saw him straightening his back, he sneered and said, "Your Majesty, please find a place to sit and be tortured. If you lose your balance and fall down... I am a disabled person and I may not be able to help you in time."
Xie Xun glanced at him indifferently, but it made the eunuch feel a chill rising from the bottom of his heart.
"No need, Da Qi's men should just stand there even if they are punished."
After saying that, his provocative gaze swept across the lower three inches of the eunuch, "I don't think my father-in-law can understand this."
The eldest eunuch was shocked that he was frightened by his indifferent look, and was angry that King Huai actually used his most taboo place to hurt his dignity as a man in front of others, so he burst into anger.
Rising from the bottom of my heart!
"Okay! Okay! Your Majesty is really a tough man! I can't understand a slave like an eunuch! So what are you waiting for?! Let's execute him!"
The executioner had Xie Yang's instructions and used all his strength with each whip.
The long and thick whip struck Xie Xun's straight back one after another. When Xie Xun only had the first whip, he grunted in a hurry, and then he never made any sound again.
The blood quickly soaked through the clothes.
The man used all his strength with every lash, and by the time he hit forty lashes, even he admired Xie Xun a little.
If it were an ordinary person who would have been crying for mercy for a long time, he could still insist on standing without even uttering a cry of pain!
King Huai is indeed a man, but it is a pity that he is not the same person as him. Otherwise, he would not mind showing some mercy.
The fifty lashes were completed quickly.
The man was sweating all over, wiped his forehead, and said to Xie Xun: "Prince Huai, I have offended you. Can you still leave?"
Xie Xun turned to look at him, but his face was a little pale, and there were some beads of sweat on his forehead, but his voice was still the same firmness when he spoke.
"Tired? There are still a hundred lashes left. The person Lao Si chose this time is not good..."
"you!"
The man was at a loss for words. He didn't expect that King Huai would expose his identity in public, and said with a sullen face: "King Huai is joking. I was sent by your Majesty, and I am not familiar with the fourth prince."
"Then continue, there are still a hundred lashes."
The man glanced at the chief eunuch in surprise.
Was King Huai telling the truth? Yaosheng suffered double punishment for Qin Rushuang!
The man was a little undecided for a moment and cast a questioning look at the eunuch: Do you want to continue fighting? What if someone is killed...
However, the chief eunuch still remembered that Xie Xun had just mocked him as a eunuch, so he immediately gave the order.
"What's there to be hesitant about? Prince Huai is a real man! He said he'd receive the hundred lashes, so he'd be beaten!"
After saying that, he gave the executioner a warning look.
"Don't save your efforts, this is the deep friendship between King Huai and Princess Huai! If you are soft-hearted and soft-hearted, how can you be worthy of King Huai's true feelings!"
The man gritted his teeth, and the dull sound of whips sounded again in the camp.
But the man with the star of execution became more and more frightened as he was beaten.
More than sixty lashes again!
Including the fifty just now, there are already more than one hundred lashes!
If it were an ordinary person, I would be afraid that there would be too much air coming out and less air coming in! King Huai actually gritted his teeth and held on, not even bending his back half an inch!
The man was really scared, so he stopped what he was doing and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to rest for a while before continuing?"
Xie Xun's current complexion is not much different from that of a dead person.
He opened his mouth, blood flowed down the corner of his mouth, and his voice was weaker than before.
But what he said was completely opposite to his weak appearance.
"Don't wait! She will be back soon, fight faster!"
…
In Qian Ertong's tent.
Qin Rushuang said a few words to Qian Ertong again.
He calculated the time and said to the two of them: "You have a good rest, Qingzhi, and take good care of him. Now, I have to go back."
Qian Ertong struggled to sit up, "Miss, do you have to endure the fifty lashes? Is there no other way?"
Qin Rushuang smiled lightly and gave Qian Ertong and Qingzhi a comforting smile.
"Don't worry, it's just fifty lashes. Although it's not easy to deal with, it won't kill me. I should pay the price for my temporary pleasure, right?"
After Qin Rushuang finished speaking, she ignored the worried looks of Qian Ertong and Qingzhi and returned to the previous tent.
Before she entered the tent, the curtain had already been opened.
Several soldiers carried Xie Xun out on a simple stretcher.
Xie Xun's face was pale, his lips were pursed tightly, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to have lost consciousness.
...it looks like he has suffered a lot.
As he passed by, the strong smell of blood invaded Qin Rushuang's nose, and Qin Rushuang frowned slightly.
How could fifty lashes hurt him so badly?
But she didn't show concern. Regardless of whether Xie Xun could hear him, she just nodded to him lightly and said, "The prince has suffered. Take care of him."
Then he opened the curtain and walked in, ready to grit his teeth and receive the fifty lashes that belonged to him.
She walked into the tent, and the smell of blood inside was even stronger.
She remembered that when Xie Xun was carried out just now, he was wearing a robe, and she couldn't see clearly the injuries under the robe...
Could it be that these two people were so bold that they lynched Xie Xun in addition to fifty lashes?
Soon, Qin Rushuang denied this conjecture herself.
After all, Xie Xun is King Huai. These people should not be so bold. Besides, there is Ying Er watching secretly, so they should not be lynched.
Qin Rushuang looked at the two of them with a scrutinizing gaze, and saw that the eunuch's eyes were gloomy, while the executioner's man was sweating profusely and was rubbing his right hand.
"I am coming."
She glanced at the man who was executing the execution: "Can I be punished now?"
After saying that, a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Or is it that the fifty lashes have exhausted his strength, and I have to wait for him to rest for a while?"
The eunuch laughed angrily at Qin Rushuang's words and said three good words in a row.
"Okay, okay!"
"You two are really the same, both of you are tough-talking!"
He really wanted Qin Rushuang to be punished, but he still said with some regret, "Princess, you don't have to be punished, the prince has already suffered for you."
Thinking of Xie Xun's tragic situation, he laughed and felt much better.
"The princess didn't see the iron-clad look on the prince's face just now. If he hadn't suddenly collapsed after receiving one hundred and fifty lashes, the servant almost thought that the prince had a diamond-like iron frame and wouldn't feel any pain!"
Qin Rushuang raised her head suddenly, "What did you say?! Did he really take fifty lashes for me?"
"I suffered double punishment for someone else! One hundred lashes, plus the prince's own, a total of one hundred and fifty lashes!"
The eunuch finally felt that some of the evil in his heart had been expressed, and said to Qin Rushuang with a little pity, "Go and see King Huai, I'm afraid..."
