Qi Xuanyi pushed Mrs. Qing away and said slowly and expressionlessly: "Who made the clothes?"
Everyone looked at Lin Jingmo in confusion.
Lin Jingmo raised his head and saw Qi Xuanyi at such a close distance for the first time: He is King Zhao, and it is all because of him. They killed my sister, my unborn nephew, and my father.
,Now...he is right in front of me!
Lin Jingmo's uncontrollable hatred could not be hidden at all. She said in a deep voice with anger: "It's...me!"
Qi Xuanyi was condescending, and without even looking down at Lin Jingmo, he turned his head and said coldly: "Drag him down and beat him with forty sticks!"
"Forty sticks?" Mrs. Qing said hurriedly: "Your Majesty! That needle is not..."
Before she could finish her words, Qi Xuanyi interrupted her again and said: "Nian Zai Qing'er, you are not good at knitting and you are too naive, so you were deceived by this cheap maid. This king... will not hold you accountable.
!Qing'er..."
Mrs. Qing didn't think much about it. Just as she was about to plead for Lin Jingmo, Lin Jingmo stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of Mrs. Qing's skirt and said: "You villain... accept your punishment!"
At this time, Qi Xuanyi lowered his head and looked at Lin Jingmo who was kneeling on the ground.
Her eyes were firm and her back straightened.
Qi Xuanyi's eyes glanced at Lin Jingmo coldly, and then said to his subordinates: "Very good, since Mrs. Qing likes her, don't kill her, just keep her alive."
After that, the men dragged Lin Jingmo to the outer courtyard where he was punished.
Mrs. Qing watched them dragging Lin Jingmo away, anxious and angry, but she saw the cuckoo on the ground groaning in pain...
Qi Xuanyi added: "Du Juan is a loyal servant. For the sake of the young prince, he accidentally hurt himself. He should be buried generously!"
Mrs. Qing turned her head and looked at Du Juan again: A rich burial? She... was obviously not dead!
……
Lin Jingmo was dragged into the backyard and placed on a bench.
Zhao Xiaofei, who was holding a stick at the side, looked at it several times in confusion, and suddenly had an idea and said: "You are... you are the cloth shop boy I met a few days ago!"
Lin Jingmo raised his head, looked at each other, and then remembered that he was the guard brother from the past few days! So he turned around in embarrassment.
Zhao Xiaofei ran to the other side shamelessly and said: "I didn't expect that we would meet again, how could you become the maid next to Mrs. Qing? It's really embarrassing. When we meet again, I am the one who wants to beat you with a stick... You are guilty
What's wrong? I heard that someone harmed the young prince, could it be you?"
Lin Jingmo just frowned and didn't know how to answer, so he said: "I have committed a serious crime. If you don't stay away from me, why don't you get close to me. Be careful not to get involved with me, let's get together!"
Zhao Xiaofei then stood up angrily and stood aside holding the stick.
The steward on the side shouted loudly: "Execution!"
Lin Jingmo clenched his teeth and prepared himself mentally, but he still vomited blood after being hit with the first stick.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaofei couldn't hit him with the second stick. He lowered his head to look at Lin Jingmo's condition and said to the manager: "Uncle, did you hear that right? Do you really need to hit her with forty sticks? She is a weak woman.
If you take forty sticks, I’m afraid you’ll be disabled even if you don’t die!”
The steward said: "A girl will die when she dies. If she dares to murder the prince, it is a capital crime. Our prince is a wise man and said that he can spare her life, but she is too weak to survive. Is it possible that we beat her to death and still ask for compensation?"
Is it going to happen?"
Only then did Zhao Xiaofei understand that the prince wanted to save her life!
So he said: "Since the prince spared her life, why don't I wait and be gentle?"
But the manager said: "Do I listen to you or do I listen? Give me a hard beating! Whoever dares to let go will be punished equally!"
It turns out that the steward had already received Chen Minran's money and had her order. The purpose was to kill the maid next to Mrs. Qing and weaken her spirit!
But she didn't know that the person being beaten was actually Lin Jingmo.
Lin Jingmo saw that Zhao Xiaofei was unsuccessful in interceding for him, and knew that it would be difficult for him to escape this time, so he said: "Brother Zhao, there is no need to be embarrassed, you can fight."
Zhao Xiaofei had no choice but to raise the board and hit him hard. Lin Jingmo screamed out in pain, and thought of his father and sister. When they were alive, had he ever been wronged in the slightest? Since he was a child, he had only a good life and a good life.
She hit others for their own sake, and now that they are dead, she has not avenged them yet, so she absolutely cannot die under these forty sticks.
With her father and sister supporting her, Lin Jingmo could no longer bear it and roared loudly. In the future, she must avenge all her relatives. Even if I die, this is definitely not the time.
It’s just that her body is mortal after all. How could she, a weak female, endure these forty boards? She only hit twenty or so and finally couldn’t hold on any longer and fainted.
When Zhao Xiaofei saw this, he stopped. The manager came closer, probed her nose with his fingers, and said, "It's really tough! Give me a splash to wake her up and continue beating her!"
Two palace guards brought a large bucket of water and were about to pour it down.
Suddenly someone rushed over and shouted: "Stop it! No one is allowed to touch her!"
The man ran all the way, knelt down beside Lin Jingmo, and pushed aside her soaked hair. The moment he saw her face, Shang Shixu became angry, and his eyes were as sharp as a carnivore's.
, grabbed the stick from Zhao Xiaofei next to him and was about to get angry when he suddenly stopped.
He lowered his head and looked at Lin Jingmo, who had fainted from the pain.
Thinking that she worked so hard to hide her identity, she couldn't let it be exposed just because of her impulse.
So he hit the stick hard on the ground, and the stick split into two halves instantly.
He gently picked up the injured Lin Jingmo on the stool, and then said coldly to the people on both sides: "The prince has forgiven her, there is no need to beat her again."
But the steward stood in front of him reluctantly and said: "It's really unruly. Where did you come out of here? Why didn't I hear that the prince forgave her?"
Shang Shixu looked at him coldly. He was so cold that the manager couldn't help but shiver.
Shang Shixu said: "I'm about to go talk to the prince!"
Seeing this, the manager smiled and said: "That means the prince hasn't said he wants to let her go yet? Who are you? Are you going to tell the prince?"
Shang Shixu ignored him and simply said: "I am Shang Shixu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. Aren't you going to get out?"
"Shang...Sir..." The steward was so frightened that his voice began to tremble when he heard this: "Sir, you are naturally an honored guest...then this girl..."
Shang Shixu's patience had been exhausted, and he shouted loudly: "Get out! I will only say it once!"
The manager hurriedly stepped aside, looked at Shang Shixu's back and said, "What's the background of this girl? Lord Shangshu actually saved her himself?"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran towards the Fragrant Garden.
