C10

When he opened his eyes, he saw a tall and handsome man beside the bed.

Hm, judging by his appearance, he should be 1.9 meters tall.

Du Yuxi's long and narrow phoenix eyes flashed with a glazed brilliance. He retracted the hand he had been hit with and silently looked at her.

"Ah …" Cold sweat broke out on her forehead. First, she subconsciously searched for clothes, and then she realized that there was a greater danger. After a few seconds, she stopped her uncoordinated actions and knelt on the bed, not moving at all.

"Su Xiaoxiao, you actually dared to hit me." The man's melodious voice drifted from above, as if he was not angry at all.

"Sorry, I didn't know that when I was sleeping, someone …"

"The daughter of a sinner, she actually calls herself 'I' in front of this king." Du Yuxi still couldn't hear any anger in his voice, and he looked down at the small ball on the bed that was kneeling down.

Then what should it be called? Du Yuqing, who had just woken up, was a little stuck. After a while, she said stiffly, "I'm sorry."

Mei Xin and Xiuju couldn't wait to say a few words in Du Yuqing's stead. This new master's brain was completely useless. He only knew how to apologize, and he didn't know how to address the Emperor respectfully or humbly.

"Since you know your wrongs, then go and receive your punishment." Du Yuxi's tone was gentle and calm. His voice was magnetic and moving, as if he was giving a favor to someone, as he said.

Du Yuqing almost took the punishment as a reward. Just as she was thinking about how to express her thanks, her expression suddenly froze.

Punishment? She didn't seem to have made any big mistakes, did she?

The little princess, who was usually held in the palm of her hands by her parents, saw herself being punished for the first time in her life.

Two soldiers with frightening arm strength stood in the deserted courtyard. Four Palace Maid stood by the side, waiting for orders. There was also a civil servant who looked like a supervisor, reading out loud her mistakes expressionlessly.

Moreover, there were two guards standing there. They were wearing swords and had clear appearances, and their clothes were different from those of ordinary servants.

Because the King seemed to be targeting Du Yuqing, Mei Xin and Xiuju escaped death and were not implicated. They could only kneel to the side, fearfully waiting for Du Yuqing to be punished.

"..." "The daughter of a sinner who does not know how to bow to someone, still sleeps soundly, and is disrespectful to the king. This is the first sin." One of the people who looked like a supervisor at the side stopped talking and asked Du Yuqing, who was pressed down by the four Palace Maid on the cold stone floor, "Do you know your crime?"

"No one is calling me …" Du Yuqing had forgotten what Du Xue had told her at such a time, so she immediately defended herself.

"Staff Punishment Ten." The overseer raised his voice calmly.

Pow! Pow! "Pa …"

Since she was young, she had never experienced this kind of pain. Terrifying pain came from her buttocks and after the first staff strike, she was already in so much pain that she could not make a sound.

He couldn't even cry out because of the physiological pain. It was like a conditioned reflex that caused him to shed a large amount of tears.

It was raining on the stone floor. Tears were dripping down his face.

The sword-wielding guards at the side exchanged a glance.

Mei Xin and Xiuju didn't dare to breathe loudly when they heard the sound of her being punished. They looked at each other in fear. This new master was really stupid. Didn't she know that all she had to do was say "this servant knows her crimes"?

"The daughter of a sinner who injures the body of a dragon, offends her superiors, and disrespects the king. This is the second crime." The overseer looked at his bloodstained clothes and shook his head internally. He'd started with ten trump cards. If this went on, who knew if the delicate and weak daughter of the general's estate would be able to make it through.

"Do you know your crime?" He paused for a moment. The overseer seemed to have seen that he had once fought with General Su, and a hint of emotion could be heard in his voice, as if he wanted her to quickly admit her guilt.

"I'm sleeping, who knows I'll be disturbed by a fly!" Tears fell onto the stone floor. Du Yuqing was caned for no reason. The pride in her bones was aroused. Clenching her fists, she forced out some words from her trembling teeth due to the pain.

"Staff Punishment Ten." The overseer frowned slightly and said without waiting for her to finish.
