The eunuch glanced at Lan Lan and said calmly: "His Majesty Tianfeng Dynasty has just sent a letter, severing all ties with the Regent Princess. From now on, you will no longer be the eldest princess of Tianfeng Dynasty."
There was a buzzing sound, and Lan Lan's mind went blank. Her eyes widened in disbelief, and her body was trembling.
"Why?"
Why does the emperor treat her like this?
If her father was still alive, he would never allow his brother to treat her like this!
The eunuch continued to read the imperial edict: "In addition, because Gu Xinrou killed the doctor Shen, His Majesty the Western Dynasty was furious. In order to appease his anger, the regent must suffer the pain of a hundred battles, and Gu Xinrou must suffer fifty battles every day until they forgive him. !”
Feng Ling had known these words for a long time, so he had no expression.
There is nothing but sadness.
Lan Lan obviously couldn't bear the blow and took a few steps back. Her delicate body trembled and she clenched her fists tightly.
A hundred battles!
No wonder, no wonder Feng Ling came back and questioned Gu Xinrou so angrily just now.
It turned out that he was harshly criticized by the emperor and had to endure these hardships.
That's why he was so angry and indifferent.
Ridiculous, she actually misunderstood him?
Lan Lan's eyes were filled with tears: "Brother Ling, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were being criticized harshly, I really didn't know..."
Facing Lan Lan, how could Feng Ling have the heart to blame her?
He gently stroked her green hair with his fingers and said warmly: "I couldn't control my temper and slapped Gu Xinrou just now, but compared to my slap, what she will bear next will be heavier, and I don't think Your Majesty did it." Something is wrong."
His cold eyes turned to Gu Xinrou, his voice was cold and the tenderness on his face disappeared.
"Gu Xinrou, I don't care whether you did it intentionally or not, it is a fact that you killed Shen Qingluan. Are you willing to bear the pain of the stick and the name of a pariah?"
Gu Xinrou's lips trembled, and the despair in her heart filled the air, leaving her unable to say a word.
Shen Qingluan is already dead, why bother harming her?
And how did this kind of worthless bitch become the national doctor of the Western Dynasty?
She deserves to die and should be trampled under everyone's feet!
No matter how much she hates her heart, Gu Xinrou still hides all her emotions very well.
She raised her eyes, tears appeared in her eyes, and her face turned pale: "It's my fault. Even if Your Majesty doesn't hold me accountable, I won't forgive myself, so I'm willing to bear it."
Seeing Gu Xinrou accepting it calmly, Lan Lan's heart ached even more.
"I'm sorry, Xinrou, I can't protect you this time..."
Gu Xinrou smiled reluctantly: "Princess, you don't have to blame yourself, it's just for Xinrou. Only in this way will Xinrou feel better. Just think of it as forgiveness. If you help me, I won't feel better."
This Lan Lan is a useless thing. If Lan Lan had some use, she wouldn't have to suffer like this.
One day, she will pay them back all the pain these people have caused her!
Lan Lan held Gu Xinrou's hand, looked at Feng Ling, then turned to look at the eunuch.
"You tell His Majesty, I am willing to bear half of the responsibility for them."
Before the eunuch could speak, Feng Ling had already coldly refused.
"I don't agree. You don't need to say more. This is what we deserve and it has nothing to do with you. After all, I agreed to take Gu Xinrou to Tianfeng Dynasty. If she hadn't gone, nothing would have happened. It must be my fault. It’s up to me to pay!”
He was still complaining about Gu Xinrou, blaming her for killing Shen Qingluan because of a lie.
Even in the Tianfeng Dynasty, he had a big conflict with Shen Qingluan, but he knew the pain of losing a loved one.
Chen'er couldn't stand it.
How could he not complain!
Gu Xinrou's lips turned white and she lowered her head, looking helpless and pitiful.
Lan Lan patted the back of her hand comfortingly, but this time she didn't fight tit-for-tat for Gu Xinrou and Feng Ling.
In fact, Gu Xinrou didn't have to lure Shen Qingluan away at that time. They could also use Shen Jinzhi to force her to hand over Feng Lichen.
What happened next was completely unnecessary for Gu Xinrou.
It's normal for Feng Ling to blame her.
"Your Majesty, we have brought the executioner, can we start?" the eunuch asked with a slight smile.
Feng Ling put one hand behind her back and nodded slightly: "Let's get started."
Compared to Feng Ling's calmness, Gu Xinrou's heart tightened, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes.
Because she doesn't just have to be blamed for fifty.
More importantly, she was demoted to a pariah status.
According to the laws of Xili Kingdom, those who are demoted to pariah status will have marks on their bodies that can never be removed.
And all this was brought about by Shen Qingluan!
Gu Xinrou was so scared that her whole body was trembling, especially when she saw the two guards walking towards her, she wanted to avoid them, but she finally controlled herself.
She has already come this far and there is no way she can back down!
Lan Lan also saw Gu Xinrou's current expression.
Although he was obviously afraid, he still forced himself to accept such torture for the sake of the Regent's Palace.
There are really too few good girls like this.
Soon, the guards took Gu Xinrou and Feng Ling down. Within a moment, the sound of sticks was heard, as well as Gu Xinrou's heart-rending cry of pain.
"Mother——"
Feng Jin's eyes were red and she wanted to rush to Gu Xinrou's side, but Lan Lan hugged her.
She covered his ears with her hands to prevent him from hearing the harsh sounds.
Feng Jin's cry was pitiful and filled with grief.
"Grandma, why is it my mother's fault that she died? My mother obviously didn't do anything wrong, and it was not my mother who killed the person."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I hate her, it's her who has dragged down my mother, and she also stole my father--"
"Grandma, why are there such bad people in the world? How could she be so bad? My mother has done so many good deeds over the years, and yet she was harmed by her."
"Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning, falling into hell, and never being reincarnated?"
Feng Jin's voice was full of condemnation, and the tears flowing down her face were miserable and pitiful.
It made people's hearts ache.
Lan Lan hugged him tightly and comforted him softly, her eyes full of heartache.
"I'm sorry, I was useless and failed to protect my mother. Don't worry, even if your mother is a concubine, my grandmother will not let anyone bully her..."
Feng Jin sobbed and cried: "Then father...will he marry the stepmother?"
Lan Lan's eyes were filled with sadness. If Gu Xinrou could only be a concubine, he would still get married after all.
Now it seems that Feng Jin is bound to have a stepmother.
Seeing Lan Lan's expression, Feng Jin already understood. He lowered his eyes to cover up the cruelty in his eyes.
No one can take away his father, he will never allow it!
Anyone who blocks the way between him and his mother will die!
…
At this moment, outside the mountain forest, inside a small cabin.
Shen Qingluan was lying on the bed, her eyes lightly closed, her face pale and colorless.
