C10 Punishment
The sword-wielding guards at the side exchanged a glance.
Mei Xin and Xiu Ju didn't dare to breathe too loudly when they heard the sound of her being punished. They looked at each other while trembling in fear.
"The daughter of a sinner who injures the body of a dragon, offends her superiors and is disrespectful to the His Majesty. This is the second crime." The overseer looked at the bloodstains on the clothes on his buttocks and shook his head. He already started with the ten boards, if this went on, General's Estate's delicate little girl might not be able to hold on for more than twenty boards.
"Do you know your crime?" He paused for a moment. The overseer seemed to have seen General Su's actions, and a hint of emotion appeared in his voice, as if he wanted her to quickly admit her guilt.
"I'm sleeping, who knows if I'll be disturbed!" Tears fell onto the stone floor as Ling Tianqing was caned for no reason. The pride in her bones was aroused as she clenched her fists and forced out those words from her trembling teeth due to the pain.
In any case, her butt would blossom after a single blow, and after two, she at least had to keep her pride in check.
Tyrant!
"Staff Punishment Ten." The overseer frowned slightly and said without waiting for her to finish.
This kind of outrageous behavior would cause her to die even faster.
Pow! Pow! Pow!
A crisp sound rang out once more, mixed with the young girl's faint whimpers.
"The daughter of a sinner, in front of the His Majesty ?"
"If you can't accept it, you can't accept it!"
Twenty strikes were enough to kill an ordinary girl, but Ling Tianqing was still able to make a sound. The stone floor in front of her was covered in 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, fierce gaze, it was like a wolf that had been forced into a corner by someone, flashing with ruthlessness.
He had no idea what was going on, so he turned to look at the green-clad guard who was standing at the side.
If he hit her ten more times, this girl would definitely die.
Furthermore, according to His Majesty's intentions, he just needed to teach her a lesson, so he had decided to commit five crimes. 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 zither lingered in the Celestial Fragrance Palace.
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?"
Ling Jinyu lazily waved her hand. Xiang'er lightly moved her steps and walked to his side, then obediently leaned on his knee.
Ling Jinyu had just assumed his throne, but the empress dowager had personally picked a woman with both good looks and moral integrity to become her concubine. For a moment, there were many beauties in the imperial harem.
Ling Jinyu always liked beautiful and intelligent girls, even the palace maids were elegant and quick-witted.
In this harem, the end of his cup of water was very flat, the rain and dew were even, there was nothing too extreme about it, other than the Celestial Fragrance Palace.
The master of the Celestial Fragrance Palace, Sui Tianxiang, was not the elegant woman chosen by the empress dowager, but the woman he had brought back from outside the palace. Ling Jinyu liked her personality. She was obedient and gentle to the point of being good at playing the zither.
The court was tired, so it was quite interesting to sit here for a while and listen to her zither music.
Ling Jinyu smiled lightly and did not answer what she had said just now, "Xiang'er, you've rubbed 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 unease, afraid that he would hate her.
The smile on Ling Jinyu's face deepened, and he did not answer, but only extended his hand to pinch her pointed chin, as his intent was obviously to caress her lightly rouged red lips.
"His Majesty!" The guards outside the curtain shouted respectfully.
Ling Jinyu lowered her eyes as she looked at Sui Tianxiang who was lying on her knees. With a voice as gentle as water, she replied, "Reporting."
"His Majesty, Su Xiaoxiao has been caned twenty times, he will not accept any punishment even if he dies." The guard outside reported.
"The people from the General's Estate sure are courageous." Not sure if it was praise, but Ling Jinyu's eyes darkened.
Seeing the slight change in his pitch-black phoenix eyes, Sui Tianxiang became even more cautious and cautious.
Although she was Ling Jinyu's most beloved concubine, everyone knew the personality of the king in the imperial harem.
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 useless to him, Ling Jinyu would not hesitate to throw them away.
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.
