Lin Xiao had long been disgusted with this feudal system that favored boys over girls. Hearing what Li Yuqian said now, he was filled with indignation and couldn't help but raise his head and argue:
"Can't women get married? Do women have to be labeled as 'accessories'? Are you all crawling out of men's bellies?"
Li Yuyan didn't expect Lin Xiao to explode suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.
His imperial brother Li Yujuan was also shocked and looked at Lin Xiao not knowing how to react.
Seeing that Li Yuyan remained silent, Lin Xiao felt even more aggrieved, so she simply spoke out all her thoughts.
"You oppress women everywhere because you are afraid that women will be better than you and more powerful than you, and will rob you of the rights and wealth you should have!"
"Besides, women have to work hard to raise children. Why should they be treated as accessories? They also have their own thoughts and freedom. Why should they be controlled by you?"
Lin Xiao accused excitedly.
"Axiao, that's enough!"
Li Yuyan, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help but scolded:
"No matter what, you can't change your woman's identity!"
"Why change? I have never felt that being a woman is a shameful thing. On the contrary, I am very happy that I am a woman!"
Lin Xiao scratched his neck and finished speaking stubbornly, curling his lips in disdain.
Li Yuyan was choked and speechless, and could only look at the dark-faced Li Yujun with pleading eyes:
"Brother Imperial, Ah Xiao is still young and not sensible, so what he said is inevitably inappropriate..."
"With all her sharp teeth, how can she be ignorant at all? She clearly looks arrogant like I am the best in the world and no one wants to compete with me!"
Before Li Yuyan finished speaking, Li Yuyan interrupted him and scolded angrily:
"Ajiu, don't protect her! With her attitude, she doesn't take me seriously at all!"
"Brother, please calm down!"
Li Yuyan knew that Li Yujun was completely angry with Lin Xiao, and quickly comforted him:
"Brother Huang, Ah Xiao is not sensible yet, so don't argue with her."
As Li Yuyan spoke, he secretly winked at Lin Xiao, asking her to kneel down and admit her mistake.
Lin Xiao refused. She bit her lip and stood there stubbornly, confronting Li Yuyan with neither humility nor arrogance.
"Bastard thing!"
Li Yujun was so angry that he stood up suddenly, pointed at Lin Xiao, and said sternly:
"I will punish you!"
"Treat it, treat it, the worst possible outcome is death!"
Lin Xiao raised her head and chest, facing Li Yu's scorching gaze without flinching, without any fear!
She doesn't want to stay in this damn feudal society for a moment anymore!
Maybe you can go back to your original world after you die!
"Okay! Very good! Someone, drag him out and kill him with a stick!"
Li Yujuan shouted angrily.
He, the majestic king of a country, was actually contradicted by such a little girl!
Lin Xiao sneered and looked at Li Yuyan:
"Yu Yan, I'll take the first step!"
After Lin Xiao said that, he turned around and walked out.
Her back was very thin and her body was thin, as if the wind could blow her away. Li Yuyan's heart ached when she saw her.
He fell to his knees with a plop:
"If the emperor wants to kill A Xiao, he should also kill A Jiu too!"
"you……"
Li Yujun pointed at Li Yuyan with a trembling hand. He never thought that his beloved ninth brother would disobey him for this little girl.
Li Yuyan raised his head, stared at Li Yujun with burning eyes, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"I beg the emperor to take back his life and forgive A Xiao!"
Li Yujun's fingers squeezed the armrests of the chair tightly, causing blue veins to bulge.
Today was the most glorious moment in his life. After planning for a long time, he finally replaced Li Yuquan as the emperor without any effort.
However, it was ruined by Lin Xiao, an ignorant girl. How could he swallow this?
He will never allow anyone to challenge his authority, not even his beloved ninth brother!
However, Lin Xiaozhen is really a rare talent. It would be too wasteful to kill him like this!
After thinking about it, Li Yujun finally relaxed.
His heavy expression slowly softened, and a complex and difficult-to-discern emotion flashed in his eyes.
"Since Ajiu begged me, I will give her another chance!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Yuyan quickly caught up with Lin Xiao and brought her to Li Yujun:
"Ah Xiao, why don't you quickly thank the Emperor for your grace!"
Lin Xiao, who had already walked out of the imperial study, took a deep breath, returned, and slowly kowtowed to Li Yuqian three times:
“The common people thank the Lord for His grace!”
"You don't need to be in a hurry to thank me. Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. This matter cannot be left alone. You have to suffer some punishment."
When Lin Xiao heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed and his heart sank to the bottom!
She knew it was not that simple. Li Yujun was a complete conspirator, and he would never let her go easily!
"Someone is coming!"
Li Yujun shouted.
"The slave is here!"
Two eunuchs came in at the door.
"Lin Xiao despises the authority of the emperor and is guilty of an unforgivable crime. He should be beaten with fifty sticks to serve as a warning to others!"
After hearing Li Yujuan's words, Li Yuyan's pupils suddenly tightened and she looked at him in disbelief:
"Brother Imperial, the strong bodyguard of the Imperial Guard can't stand these fifty sticks, let alone the delicate and frail A Xiao?"
"Yu Yan, there is no need to plead for me, fifty sticks is just fifty sticks, I can bear it!"
Li Yuyan looked at Lin Xiao's stubborn little face, feeling extremely heartbroken. He clenched his hands tightly, almost crushing his fists:
"Brother Imperial, please think twice!"
"Think twice?"
As soon as Li Yuyan finished speaking, Li Yujuan's eyes suddenly became sharp:
"Ajiu, are you going to disobey the imperial edict?"
Li Yuyan's pupils shrank slightly and he lowered his head:
"Ajiu doesn't dare!"
"Since you know you don't dare, why are you trying to stop me?"
Li Yuyan clenched his fists tighter, but finally loosened them and sighed:
"Then just follow what the emperor said!"
"snort!"
Li Yujun snorted coldly and waved his hand to the eunuchs, signaling for them to take action.
"yes!"
The two eunuchs took the order and walked out, walked up to Lin Xiao, and escorted her to the open space outside the imperial study room. The guards armed with wooden sticks struck Lin Xiao with their sticks.
"Pah, pah, pah"
The sound of the stick hitting the flesh was horrifying.
"one two three,……"
The eunuch's shrill voice entered the imperial study, and each sound was like a sharp sword piercing Li Yuyan's heart. His fists were clenched tighter and tighter, and the veins on his forehead were pulsing.
He couldn't wait to save people, but he was afraid that Li Yujun would become even more angry with Lin Xiao, so he could only worry on the sidelines.
As time passed by, Li Yuyan's heart became heavier and heavier.
When the eunuch shouted "Fifty", he immediately rushed out of the imperial study room, came to the open space, stretched out his arms and hugged the punished Lin Xiao:
"That's enough! That's enough! Call the doctor! Call the doctor quickly!"
Lin Xiao, who was held in her arms, snorted and couldn't help laughing. She had never seen Li Yuyan look so worried, just like a child.
