C107 The Forty Staff of Heavy Punishment Was Badly Mutilated Causing Him to Faint

"That's right, Emperor. To be honest, Yuer will inevitably fail in the martial arts competition, let alone a battle between experts. Since Lord Lee is so seriously injured, I will spare this punishment. " Sima Yuer also saluted and said.

"May the Emperor think twice and spare Lord Lee. " When everyone heard the opinions of these few people, they all knelt down and pleaded for Lee Xiangyu, including Nameless.

The Emperor looked at the people kneeling below and wanted to follow their wishes. Thus, he was exempted from Lee Xiangyu's staff punishment, but he could not. As an emperor, he could not give up just like that. Currently, many countries were ready to make a move. What they needed right now was to establish their prestige. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys. The contradiction was already unable to make him make a decision. At this moment, the Emperor was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to do.

"Emperor. . . Emperor, this official. . . This official broke the rules at the front and should be punished. The Emperor does not need to. . . Do not need to make things difficult. There are laws in the country. No matter who he is, as long as he violates the rules, he must be punished. Men, please. . . Execute him. " Lee Xiangyu forced himself to kneel on the ground. He took off his python robe and put it aside.

Lee Xiangyu knew what the Emperor was thinking and also knew that the meaning of these forty sticks was not as simple as a punishment. Although he was wrongly accused, how could he clarify himself in front of so many people? People usually only believe what they see, so for the sake of the Great Ming, He could only place all the blame on himself. He had to suffer the punishment of the staff. He saw that the Emperor was unable to make a decision for a moment, so he made a decision for the Emperor.

"Lord Lee, are you crazy? Then I will beat you to death. " Princess Jinyu stood up hurriedly when she heard what Lee Xiangyu said. She turned around and looked at Lee Xiangyu in disbelief. Everyone looked at Lee Xiangyu in shock. They couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"That's right, Lord Lee. You are seriously injured. You can't be tortured anymore. " Nameless stepped forward and grabbed Lee Xiangyu's arms.

"Princess, things have come to this point. I cannot escape punishment just because I am injured. I cannot allow the Emperor to break the rules because of me. Even if I die under the Staff Punishment today, this official will have no regrets. " After Lee Xiangyu finished speaking to the princess, he looked at Nameless and whispered, "Mr Yang, it is my happiest to see you again today. A little injury was nothing, so what if he was sentenced to forty with a cane? Don't worry, 40 staff punishments won't kill me. I will definitely live a good life and drink with Mr Yang once again. Don't tell anyone about what I just told you, including Princess Helian. I will explain everything to you after this matter is over, but you must not let them know what I just said to you. "

"Don't worry, I won't tell them. "

"That's good. "

"Mr Lee nodded. I didn't misjudge you. Originally, you wanted to hurt Princess Helian first. After you hurt Nameless, I should have punished you twice more. But you were already hurt by Nameless, so I won't pursue the matter of you hurting Nameless. Men, carry out the execution of the fortieth staff immediately. " Hearing Lee Xiangyu's words, The Emperor's heart calmed down a lot and also knew what he should do. But his heart ached even more than before. Such a loyal and good general. Yet, he was powerless to protect and even wanted to punish him. How many people could understand this feeling?

With an order from the Emperor, a few Royal Guards walked onto the stage with the staff in hand and came before Lee Xiangyu with a troubled expression. "Lord Lee, I'm sorry. "

"It's okay, it's not your fault. You guys just need to torture. "

"Lord Lee, you will feel better if you bite this in your mouth. " Royal Guards, who was next to him, took a towel and handed it to Lee Xiangyu.

"No need. I appreciate your kindness. You can do it. "

"Then we'll do it. If you can't resist my lord, shout out. " After saying that, they looked at each other and nodded. They raised their staffs and hit Lee Xiangyu's body. Because there were many countries and the Emperor present, these few Royal Guards did not dare to cheat. Therefore, the sticks were full of strength. After hitting Lee Xiangyu a few times, there were already traces of blood on Lee Xiangyu's back. The bloody marks caused by the staff clearly appeared on his white undergarments.

At this moment, Lee Xiangyu endured the pain. He clenched his teeth, clenched his fists, and knelt there without saying a word. After a while, he was covered in sweat. Some of the people in the audience who could not bear to watch turned their heads away and did not look anymore.

When he hit the 20th stick, his cane was broken. Lee Xiangyu could not kneel anymore. Beads of sweat that were as big as soybeans dripped down his cheeks. "Come. . . Someone, put me. . . Up. " Royal Guards, who was standing next to him, hurried forward and lifted Lee Xiangyu up with his staff. He then changed to a new torture staff and continued the execution.

This scene in the eyes of the Emperor, Princess Jinyu and General Qu made them feel as if a knife had been cut through their hearts. At this moment, Princess Jinyu's face was covered with tears as she covered her face with both hands and sobbed. She and Lee Xiangyu grew up together and Lee Xiangyu was like his older brother. Now that he was on the stage, how could he not make her sad when he was being punished by the staff? How could he not let her sob? The thing she hated the most right now was Nanzhou, and it was none other than Helian Xiner. Because all of this was caused by her. If it wasn't for her, Lee Xiangyu wouldn't be like this.

In a short while, the forty court staffs were finished. The moment Royal Guards took out the two court staffs, Lee Xiangyu smiled slightly and then fell unconscious on the ground. The clothes on his back had already been broken, and the blood that was flowing out had already become a bloody mess. No one could bear to see it.

"Quick, pass it on to the Imperial Physician. " When the Emperor saw that the execution of the staff had been completed, he looked at Lee Xiangyu who was unconscious on the stage and hurriedly shouted. In a short while, a few Imperial Physicians ran over to temporarily stop the bleeding for Lee Xiangyu and then Royal Guards's people carried him down.

"Attendants, the martial arts competition has ended. I think everyone must have gained a lot as well. They must have been tired for the whole day. I will ask General Qu to send all of you back to courier hostel to rest. I will treat all of you well tomorrow. " The Emperor and Princess Jinyu stood up and left in a hurry. They went to visit Lee Xiangyu. All the ministers also followed the Emperor and only General Qu and those envoys were left on the scene. General Qu arranged for people to pack up the martial arts field and led the ambassadors towards courier hostel.

After making arrangements for the envoys, General Qu quickly returned and went to Lee Xiangyu's room. He saw the Imperial Physician treating Lee Xiangyu and everyone was anxiously waiting for the Imperial Physician to give the results. He stood by the side.

"Have all the envoys made the arrangements?" The Emperor asked weakly.

"Replying to the Emperor, everything has already been arranged. This official also added some more people in the dark to let them keep an eye on the Nanzhou's every move. "

"En, well done. "

Just at this time, a few Imperial Physicians stood up and left the bed to the Emperor's side. When the Emperor saw them come out, he hurriedly asked, "How is Mr Lee?"
