Su Yining's eyebrows knitted into knots, and she said to the emperor without saying anything else: "Your Majesty, why don't you let people see the damage in the city first? The casualties of the people are more important."
He turned around and glanced at San Gong with a helpless look: "Princess, I have given the horse to you, why are you still whipping it? In any case, it is just a beast and cannot listen to everything you say! Alas."
This reasonable tone made the third princess very angry, and she angrily shouted: "Who do you think you are that you need to show off in front of my father? You are just like Hu Meizi every day, knowing how to seduce people!"
"Thank you, Third Princess, for the compliment!" By calling her charming, isn't this a recognition of her beauty? This compliment to her must be thanked.
The knife seemed to be stabbed in cotton, making her furious and swung the whip in her hand to hit Su Yining again. She did not notice at all that Jun Wenbo's face was so gloomy that it could drip ink.
"Presumptuous!" "Bang!"
The emperor was furious, with the flames of anger burning in his deep eyes. He threw the teacup on the table and hit Jun Qiu Zhuo on the shoulder. The teacup fell to the ground, water splashed everywhere, and the porcelain pieces shattered on the ground.
"Father?" She covered her beaten shoulder and looked at him in shock. She never thought that her father would beat her because of an outsider.
"Father? Do you still think of me as your father? In front of me, you shout and kill. How can a princess of a country be so unruly and willful and cruel? Kneel down!"
Jun Wenbo didn't look at her again. His thunderous anger made the air around him thin, making it difficult to breathe. He stared at Jun Qiuzao who stood there blankly without kneeling down.
Seeing the emperor's anger, Su Yining hurriedly said to her: "Kneel down quickly. If you say something soft, the emperor will not be angry."
She would not let go of any opportunity to add insult to injury. Just now, she wanted to kill herself. Now, angering the emperor was a matter of life and death. So what if it was her own child? The emperor had no shortage of children.
"I don't need you to pretend to be a good person. Su Yining, why are you pretending to be a good person? You really wish that I would be punished by my father!" Jun Qiuzao turned a blind eye to the emperor's order, because in her eyes, the emperor has always been kind and treated her and other sisters the same way.
different.
Su Yining watched in surprise as she did not hide her emotions at all: "Princess, of course I hope you will be punished. How can you explain to the people if you have caused such a big trouble and are not punished at all? How will the people in this world look at the emperor?"
"People are nothing. As a princess, I will live if I want them to live, and die if I want them to die. It is their honor to be killed by me!" The arrogant expression was not concealed.
"Can't you understand what I'm saying?" Jun Wenbo interrupted their conversation.
The two were arguing so much that even the emperor ignored them. At this time, the third princess became a little nervous and hurried to the main hall to act coquettishly.
The emperor's voice was not as angry as before, but a little more indifferent. People familiar with it could tell that he was extremely angry, and the rising and falling chest was a precursor to an explosion.
"Princess, please admit your mistake to Your Majesty." Gao Yan also tried to dissuade her, hoping that the princess could calm down a little.
But Jun Qiuzao, who was full of firepower, was naturally not an ordinary person. He looked at Gao Yan and smiled scornfully: "A eunuch like you is not qualified to talk to me? How come you are also having an affair with Princess Zhan?"
"...Princess, calm down." Gao Yan didn't say anything else after being scolded. He lowered his head and looked a little ugly. That eunuch sentence was really hurtful.
"Come here! Arrest this unfilial daughter for me. I want you to serve her according to the family law!"
Jun Wenbo couldn't stand a princess who didn't take the lives of the people seriously. He wanted to be a benevolent king in a prosperous age and be praised by the world for generations to come, but this daughter was a stumbling block on his way to success.
"Father?" Two guards grabbed her hands behind her back and took away the whip she was proud of. Only then did she realize that the emperor was not joking.
She knew she was scared, and her frightened eyes were filled with tears. What she just said undoubtedly stepped on the emperor's trap.
Not long after, Gao Yan came in holding a tray covered with yellow brocade.
After opening the yellow cloth, there were three different kinds of whips, an ordinary rattan whip, a cowhide whip and a barbed thorn whip.
Seeing these three whips, Su Yining thought to herself, Gao Yan is also a person who must avenge himself. He was just scolded and now he is getting revenge.
Jun Wenbo glanced at the tray and picked up the barbed thorn whip.
He smoked it without blinking...
One whip, two whips and three whips, streaks of blood emerged, and Jun Qiuzao's screams and pleas for mercy were swirling throughout the hall, but these sounds were so insignificant compared to the screams on the street.
Su Yi Ning stood in the corner and listened to her screams, feeling very happy. This incident made her see the face of an emperor more clearly. She really turned her face and didn't even spare her own flesh and blood.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the emperor’s anger has increased significantly recently. Could it be that menopause is coming early?
The flogging had been completed while he was wandering in the trance. The emperor carried out the punishment with his own hands, which showed the extent of his anger. He gasped for breath, dropped the whip stained with blood, and staggered to the throne.
Jun Qiuzao was lying on the cold ground, like a broken rag doll, panting hard and her tears had dried up. She did not dare to resent the emperor, so she put all the faults on Su Yining's head.
"Your Majesty, the three princesses will understand your good intentions, but there are still many injured people in the city. I hope you can send a few more imperial doctors to treat them to show your kindness, Your Majesty."
Su Yining did not insist on Jun Qiuzao's matter and changed the topic lightly. This move won the emperor's favor.
"What happened to Xiao Ning today..."
"What happened to the emperor today was purely accidental and had nothing to do with the third princess. It was the horses that exploded after being stung by a wasp."
She knew what the emperor was going to say. This kind of thing always needed a fig leaf, but she was curious why the third princess who had a good impression of her before would suddenly target her?
No matter how violent Jun Wenbo was, he was still the father of the third princess. The reason why he beat her was because she was disrespectful and disobeyed him and openly resisted him, not because she caused the people to get hurt.
"Xiao Ning, you still understand my feelings! The mistress has a bad temper and has caused huge losses. But she is still young and has to get married and start a family. Her reputation is very important to her."
Su Yining was silent. She lowered her head and listened to the emperor's ramble. Suddenly, she smelled a smell, which seemed to be the fragrance of sandalwood in the temple.
It was a smell I had never smelled before. Looking in the direction of the smell, a monk who I thought was very handsome walked out of the emperor's apse...
