This kind of outrageous behavior would cause her to die even faster.

Pow! Pow!

A crisp sound rang out once more, mixed with the young girl's faint whimpers.

"The daughter of a sinner, before the king …"

"If you can't accept it, you can't accept it!" Twenty staff strikes was enough for an ordinary girl to take her life, but Du Yuqing could still make a sound. The stone slab in front of her was drenched with tears.

Lifting her head up, the pretty girl's eyes turned red as she gritted her teeth and said, "If you have the ability, then beat me to death!"

Kill him? Then everyone here will die.

When the overseer saw her stubborn and vicious gaze, which was like a wolf cub that had been forced into a corner by someone, he had no idea what was going on. He turned his head to look at the green-clad guard at the side.

If he hit her ten more times, this girl would definitely die.

Moreover, according to His Majesty's intentions, he only wanted to give her some face first, so he decided to place five crimes on her. As long as she obediently submitted to him, she would only suffer five lashes.

To a weak girl who did not know martial arts, five staff strikes were enough for her to stay in bed for three to five days. The pain was so great that she could only groan on the bed.

The guard on the left side with a peaceful face did not say anything, but just waved his hand.

The sound of the Celestial Fragrance Palace and zither lingered.

The one playing was the ancient tune, "Diaspora."

"Leave people to think, leave people to think, not even the palace lights are dimmed, leave people's pillow with tears …"

The young woman sitting in front of the Nine-Tailed Zither had a head full of clouds and was wearing light yellow clothes. This made her look even more beautiful and her voice even softer.

A handsome man leaned on the soft couch, his eyes half-closed, and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Xiang'er, it's only been two days since we last met, and you've already left people thinking about it. Why do I feel that your zither notes carry grudges?"

"How dare chenqie have any grudges?" Beneath her goose-yellow sleeves, her white hands were covered in frost. The delicate woman who had been called Xiang'er had a trace of heartache and adoration in her eyes. "Your majesty, you've lost weight recently. Why are you so worried?"

Du Yuxi waved lazily with his hand. Xiang'er lightly moved her foot and walked to his side. Then, she obediently laid on his knee.

Du Yuxi did not reign for long, but the empress dowager, for the sake of the descendants of the Emperor's bloodline, personally chose a woman who was both virtuous and good-looking to be her concubine. For a time, the imperial harem was full of beauties.

Du Yuxi, on the other hand, liked beautiful and smart girls. Even Palace Maid was pretty and quick-witted.

In this harem, the end of his cup of water was very flat, the rain and dew were even, there was no bias, other than Celestial Fragrance Palace.

The master of the Celestial Fragrance Palace, Sui Tianxiang, was not the elegant woman chosen by the empress dowager. She was the woman he had brought back from outside the palace. Du Yuxi liked her personality. She was obedient, obedient, gentle, and could play a good zither.

The court was tired, so it was quite interesting to sit here for a while and listen to her zither music.

Du Yuxi smiled as he caressed her long, cloud-like hair. He did not reply to her words just now, "Xiang'er, you touched the Golden Edge Begonia today."

"Wang, don't you like it?" Looking up with a slightly perturbed expression, Sui Tianxiang's bright eyes were filled with the unease of being afraid that he would hate her.

Du Yuxi's smile deepened, and he didn't answer. He just reached out his hand to pinch her sharp chin, clearly with the intention of stroking her lightly rouged red lips.

"My Lord!" The guards outside the curtain shouted respectfully.

Du Yuxi continued to look down at Sui Tianxiang, who was lying on his lap with a soft voice, "Reporting."

"My King, Su Xiaoxiao has been caned twenty times. She will not accept punishment even if she dies." The guard outside reported.

"The people of the General's Estate are really unyielding." Du Yuxi didn't know if it was praise, but his gaze darkened.

Seeing the slight change in his pitch-black phoenix eyes, Sui Tianxiang became even more cautious.

Although she was Du Yuxi's favorite concubine, everyone in the imperial harem knew her personality.

He could still be in love with you in one moment, making you wish you were dead in the next.

To him, women were merely tools to warm beds and continue bloodlines.

His heart was at the peak of the mountains.

If the tools were not convenient for him to use, Du Yuxi would throw them away without any hesitation.

However, it was precisely because of this character that the harem was very calm. No one dared to be pampered, nor did anyone dare to be jealous in front of him, saying anything that they shouldn't have said.

"Your Majesty, how should we deal with Su Xiaoxiao?" The guard asked cautiously.

"Oh, let's throw it into the Sky Prison for now and have her have a chat with her elder brother and sister." Du Yuxi held onto Sui Tianxiang's hand with a little strength and added, "She can take twenty canes and still live without taking any punishments. Her body must be as hard as her bones, so she doesn't need any injuries."
