Today is the day when Princess Zheng returns home. The Emperor has granted Murong Xuan no need to go to court, but ordered the Ministry of War to send urgent documents to the Protector General's Mansion for review.
Murong Xuan looked at the news sent by the spies. It was said that an envoy from the ancient Wu Kingdom was coming to serve as an envoy to Cheng Han. The mention of the ancient Wu Kingdom reminded Murong Xuan of an old friend who owed him a fortune when he was young and frivolous more than twenty years ago.
Romance debt.
Someone outside the door reported: "General, Prince Zheng is here. Butler Mai is bringing Prince Zheng to the study. My subordinates are here to report first."
Murong Xuan was not surprised. It was reasonable for Prince Zheng to come or not. He arranged his appearance a little, opened the door of the room, and went to greet him in person.
Regardless of whether King Zheng is his son-in-law or not, there are differences between king and minister. No one will say that he is from a noble family and does not understand the etiquette of courtiers.
However, after walking a long way, he saw his daughter supporting Prince Zheng coming towards the study. Murong Xuan strode over and knelt down on one leg, saying, "I have met Prince Zheng!"
Si Wushang released his hold on Murong Yingluo, and Yingluo felt relieved, "Father-in-law, please get up quickly! I am weak and have slept past the hour."
Murong Xuan's burly body stood up from the ground, his eyes glanced at Yingluo, and Yingluo reached out her hand to support Si Wushang.
Both of them knew that King Zheng was pretending to be ill, and they believed that the emperor was the same. Since the matter was not open to the public, they could only pretend to be confused and said, "Prince Zheng, you might as well go to the military camp more often. My daughter has been delicate since she was a child."
I'm weak, I can't even tell it now, the military camp is a good place to train people."
This Murong Xuanming showed off that he knew what her daughter had done and that he was here today to prosecute her, so she warned her not to betray her.
The daughter of the Murong family doesn't know the bounds of heaven and earth. She dares to do something to her. She just secretly met her lover secretly. She has more than one cuckold on her head. Such a woman should be taught a lesson.
"As a member of the royal family, it's shameful that I am so weak. Fortunately, the princess relaxed my muscles and stimulated my blood yesterday, but I am too weak to bear it."
Si Wushang glanced at Bupo, who hurriedly shouted angrily: "More than just being unable to bear it, our prince has never suffered such pain in his delicate body. The princess is simply beating the prince!"
Si Wushang shouted: "Bupo! Stop talking nonsense."
Yingluo felt a cold feeling in her heart. Neither the master nor the servant was a good person. They were obviously trying to sue her together.
Murong Xuan pretended not to know, his eyes widened in horror and he said: "Luo'er, is this possible?"
One person takes responsibility for what she does, and she will not deny what she has done. She kneels directly on the ground and says: "Father, my daughter just wants to nurse the prince back to health. It's just that her strength is a little unstable for a while. She is definitely not beating the prince."
Murong Xuan's eyebrows suddenly tightened, and he looked at each other coldly, "So, you are going to attack the prince?"
"yes!"
Murong Xuan said angrily: "You are so ignorant that you are too arrogant. Prince Zheng is of royal blood, and you dare to attack Prince Zheng. You must enforce family law today!"
Si Wushang looked at the father and daughter. It seemed that they were going to stage a bitter plot. He hurriedly defended Yingluo and said: "Father-in-law, I am fine now, let's let this matter go!
"Your Majesty, my Murong family has always enforced strict family laws. If my daughter dares to offend the Prince, she will never be tolerated!"
Since Murong Xuan, an old fox, doesn't feel sorry for his daughter, he can't blame himself if he insists on performing a cruel trick.
Murong Xuan ordered someone to go to the study to get a whip. Murong Yingluo looked at her father holding the whip in his hand. No one in the Murong family could escape from his father's family rules. She stared at Si Wushang's Shulang eyes with a stubborn expression. She was not surprised.
My father only hated King Zheng who complained in front of his father.
Murong Xuan saw that her daughter, who was kneeling on the ground, was so different from her sister. As a woman, she did not know how to please a man. She was the one to blame for the current situation.
"Luo'er, according to family law, you have to suffer ten lashes. Don't blame your father. If you do something wrong, you will be punished. I hope you can take this as a warning."
She picked up the whip in her hand and mercilessly whipped it down her back. Murong Yingluo suddenly felt the burning of the skin and flesh on her back, and the extreme pain spread to her limbs and bones. Yingluo gritted her teeth in hatred, and then the second
The whip was drawn.
Yingluo turned her fists fiercely, her nails digging into her flesh, and she bit her teeth to prevent herself from humming. Tears hid in her eyes to prevent herself from shedding tears.
Si Wushang looked at Murong Yingluo's stubbornness. Not only would her skin be torn apart by the whip, even a man would not be able to bear it. She didn't even hum. Could it be that she used her internal strength to resist again.
Immediately afterwards, the third whip fell again. Blood beads along the red shirt and infected the back. Yingluo gritted her teeth and endured it. She supported the ground with both hands and cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
Si Wushang's expression finally changed. She actually accepted the seven whips forcefully. He just wanted her to learn a lesson and give Murong Xuan a blow. If this continues, she will really not be able to bear it.
"Father-in-law, stop fighting."
Now her back is burning and numb. She has endured seven lashes, including the last three. "My lord, you don't need to be so kind. I still have to endure the three lashes. I don't owe you anything anymore."
Murong Xuan cannot teach others a lesson, but he is also teaching his daughter a lesson.
"Your Majesty, the Murong family's family rules have always been like this. Even if the little girl dies in the Murong family today, it has nothing to do with the Prince. Please don't stop it."
Murong Xuan was still very measured in his actions. He finally married his daughter to Prince Zheng and would not beat her to death.
It's just that the first three whips were used with strength, and the remaining three whips were done in one go. Even so, Yingluo was no more than a flesh and blood body, and she lay on the ground in cold sweat, unable to move even half a minute.
Murong Xuan stepped forward to support his daughter, "Come here, take the princess to apply the medicine!"
Murong Yingluo weakly grabbed her father's lapel. If her mother, Yang, knew about this matter, there would probably be a big fuss.
"Father...father...daughter...is going back to the palace. No...don't let mother know." His eyes went dark, his whole body collapsed, and he fainted from the pain.
