It hurts so much! But Shen Ruochen thought to himself: It's just ten strokes. It's not like I didn't suffer it when I was young. It will be fine in a few days. It's better than letting Guizhi kneel down and break his legs!

Shen Ruochen gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand again. The palace man looked at Hui He, who signaled to continue. Sure enough, the palace man raised his hand and hit it hard again.

Shen Ruochen's whole body trembled when he saw the pain, and his hands were also shaking, but he still stretched out his hands stubbornly, but he closed his eyes tightly in pain.

"Hmph! Okay, since you're so brave, let's continue!" Hui He snorted.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Snapped!

finally……

"Princess, the ten blows have been completed." The palace man said respectfully.

"Well, back off."

Hui He opened his eyes and saw Shen Ruochen blowing cool air on his red and swollen hands, his painful eyes filled with tears.

"How is it? Does it hurt?"

Shen Ruochen asked, "Can you let me take Guizhi back this time?"

"Take her back?" Hui He said, "This princess hasn't finished speaking yet, nor has she finished speaking about her sins. How can you take her away?"

"Ah?" Shen Ruochen grinned and looked at his hands subconsciously, "Then... then..."

Hui He nodded, "It is true that you still have to be beaten, but you can choose not to do this. Or you can choose to leave first?"

Shen Ruochen gritted his teeth, "Eldest Princess, please speak!"

"Okay!" Hui He said, "I won't bully you, but I will tell you the most important thing."

Hui He said slowly, "You are so bold, you actually came to tell me that my husband is dead and I have no children. She will let the third elder brother raise me for the rest of her life. The premise is that she will have a lot of children now." Please take care of Third Brother and say something nice to the Emperor, so that this princess will not be helpless when she gets old!"

Shen Ruochen was so frightened that he took a breath of cold air. Is this really what Guizhi said? Guizhi is crazy!

Hui He looked into Shen Ruochen's eyes, "Do you think this girl should be beaten to death immediately?"

Shen Ruochen didn't dare to speak. If it were true, then the eldest princess's punishment was indeed not severe. These words could be considered heart-breaking. Killing and annihilating all nine clans would be an exaggeration!

Shen Ruochen hurriedly knelt down and begged, "Eldest Princess, this girl has no knowledge and has been spoiled by concubines. However, she has no malice. She just thinks about the child left by my miserable sister. Please spare her some time." Take your life!"

After saying that, he kowtowed.

"Hmph! This is what I think if you don't come. After all, I don't want to cause any trouble when I return to the court. But now that you are here, I think of something," Princess Huihe looked at Shen Ruochen. "I heard that the emperor's younger brother changed the candidate for marrying to Mongolia from Er Ge Ge to Da Ge Ge. Did you do a lot of work? Tell me, what do you think, or...do you have a grudge against the emperor's wife? Is it also for Third Brother?"

"Eldest Princess, don't say this nonsense!" Shen Ruochen said hurriedly, "This is the emperor's idea. It was originally decided to be a big princess. It has nothing to do with concubines! It has nothing to do with the third elder brother and the queen. It doesn’t even matter!”

"Hmph! Don't deny it. There is no airtight wall in this world!" Hui He leaned on the chair and looked at Shen Ruochen condescendingly, "I now suspect that this girl outside came here after receiving your instructions. Otherwise, a little servant would have such courage?"

"No, no," Shen Ruochen shook his head hastily.

"Hmph! You guys can't do anything for yourself, for the throne, and for the future! Stop pretending to be innocent here!" Hui He scolded angrily, "There is no good person! This princess married to Mongolia and suffered After half a lifetime of suffering, I will still be at your mercy when I come back, don’t even think about it!”

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he said directly, "Here comes someone! Pull that guy kneeling outside out and beat him to death with sticks!"

"Ah!" Shen Ruochen said anxiously, "No, no!"

Shen Ruochen clutched Princess Huihe's skirt tightly, "No! No! Princess, spare your life! Spare your life!"

"Why are you reluctant? Are you still afraid?"

"Eldest Princess!" Shen Ruochen kowtowed vigorously and begged, "The eldest princess mainly dislikes me because I have too many things to do. I shouldn't come. I'm going to go back. Please spare Guizhi's life!"

"You say that now? It's too late!" Hui He ordered the servants beside him, "Pull him in and beat him in front of Shen's promise!"

"yes!"

"no, do not want!"

But no matter how much Shen Ruochen begged, Guizhi was still dragged up and pressed on the bench by two young eunuchs. The other two had already raised their boards and were ready to fight.

"No!" Shen Ruochen shouted, "Eldest Princess! Didn't you say that you just punished her to kneel until tomorrow morning? You must keep your word!"

"I didn't want to kill anyone, but who asked you to plead for mercy? It reminded me of something bad. Now I've changed my mind and will kill her!" Huihe's eyes widened and he said directly Said, "Fight! I'll kill this princess directly!"

"Eldest Princess! Eldest Princess!" Shen Ruochen watched helplessly as Guizhi was gagged, and the stick as thick as a bowl was hit on Guizhi's body. Shen Ruochen was extremely frightened.

But no matter how she begged or kowtowed, the eldest princess would not let go.

Seeing the sound of Guizhi's feet getting smaller and smaller, Shen Ruochen was heartbroken, got up from the ground, rushed to Guizhi, and grabbed the board with the little eunuch who was executing it, "Don't make it louder! Don't fight!"

"I've betrayed you!" Hui He stood up angrily, pointed at Shen Ruochen and said, "Shen Ruochen, are you crazy? What do you want to do!"

"Let me watch someone being beaten to death with my own eyes, and I will go crazy. Instead of doing this, it is better to fight!" Shen Ruochen pushed the little eunuch away, pulled the cloth out of Guizhi's mouth, and said, "Guizhi, let's Walk!"

"How dare you!" Hui He shouted.

"Little master... little... little master, leave me alone. I deserve death. Please leave!" Guizhi said intermittently.

"What crime deserves death! Even if you want to die, it is the emperor's decree!" Shen Ruochen ignored others and held Guizhi to leave. Princess Huihe was so angry that she shouted, "Stop them! Hold them down!"

"What does the eldest princess want to do?" Shen Ruochen said bravely, "This is the palace of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother always eats fasting, chants Buddha's name, and does not kill animals!"

"Stop doing this to me! Are you using the Queen Mother to suppress me?" Hui He snorted, "Stop using chicken feathers as arrows! Someone's coming! I'm holding them down, let's fight together!"

Someone came right away and held down Shen Ruochen and Guizhi. Shen Ruochen struggled, "Let go! Let me go. I am the emperor's concubine!"

"Let us go...our little master!" Guizhi struggled, "Hit me! Hit me! Don't...don't hit our little master!"

"Humph! No one can save you at this time!" Hui He shouted, "Hit! Beat them all to me, princess! Beat them hard!"
