Chapter 212: Pleasing Father-in-law!
That's it, that's it.
The beauties read quietly, and Erjin writes well. No matter how many ups and downs there are, you are just people who read books, and I am just people who write books.
Sorry for keeping everyone waiting! All things are over.
Today's word count is a bit small, and that's all I have written for a long time.
------Off topic------
He was surprised, "Master Hou, this is poisoned!" ”
"Not good!"
There was a "whoop", and the crowd began to whisper. Zhao Runa rushed towards him like crazy. And Sun Zhengye, who had been waiting on the side before, squatted down to treat his injuries, but he was stunned.
The last rod finally fell heavily.
"Hit!"
There is still a military stick left, Ding'an Hou is dizzy, to fight or not to fight?
Everyone followed his gaze and found that Chen Daniu, who was originally alive and vibrant, did not raise his head as high as before, but suddenly drooped down, and the look on his face was extremely strange.
From He Chengan's sharp voice to forty-five, the silence on the scene has increased a little, waiting for the end of this farce that began with the marriage more than two years ago. But when the count reached forty-nine, the soldier with the stick dropped his stick, but his hand paused slightly.
I can't wait to go up and suffer for him.
He hurts, and so does she.
When she and Gu Huai were the best before, she had never experienced such a heart-wrenching taste. This is different from the ambiguous feelings of children, but a kind of subtlety between men and women, a kind of husband and wife.
And the reason he willingly received it was only for her.
She couldn't imagine how much it hurt.
Zhao Runa's heart was clenched, her long nails pinched the palm of her hand sharply, she didn't feel pain, and bit her lower lip fiercely, so that she could force herself not to make a sound and not pounce in that number of reports.
Most of the military sticks had been beaten, and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of Chen Daniu's forehead, and blood spilled out of the beaten place. In the end, it is a body made of flesh, not iron. Even if he is a tough guy, if he doesn't die, he has to lose half his life.
"Forty ......"
"Thirty-Nine ......"
This looks at the person being beaten, if the person who is beaten is "ouching" or "fart and urine" pleading, the audience can mention the excitement. As hard as it is now, it was just a few orders to get excited about the officials, and when the number of people to be reported reached more than thirty, someone in the crowd yawned boredly.
"Five!"
"Four!"
The sound of a "bang" cane broke the silence. Every time he hit, He Chengan reported the count. The sticks were hard and heavy, and they made a muffled sound against the flesh. Chen Daniu didn't say a word, gritted his teeth and resisted, but the onlookers sweated for him.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Seeing that her man was beaten, or "beaten by Qin's order" in front of everyone, she was the eldest princess of a country but couldn't do anything, couldn't say anything, and that was extremely uncomfortable.
Zhao Zun's face was expressionless and impassive; The corners of Dongfang Qingxuan's lips pursed slightly, as if he was smiling but not smiling; Zhao Runa's face was pale, and she shuddered coldly, only to feel a chill rush from her toes to her back, and her clenched teeth made a "gurgling" trembling sound.
The crowd around them, countless eyes gathered.
Chen Daniu let out a long breath and propped his elbows on the green bricks.
"Follow what the marquis wants."
Sitting on the Taishi chair, Xie Changjin lowered his eyes, didn't look at Chen Daniu, casually flicked the corners of his sleeves and waved his hand.
Hearing him say this, the man glanced at Xie Changjin.
Chen Daniu was slightly stunned, and his eyes were cold, "Who" smacked, "Have you ever heard Lao Tzu crying for his father and mother?" My lords, I can't stand this pain, what are you going to do? ”
Is this afraid that he will not be able to stand the pain and shout out to be embarrassed?
"Lord Hou......"
The soldier holding the stick hesitated for a moment, and handed over a piece of biting cloth.
"Come on."
The distance between the two was too far for him to see her expression, but he could imagine how worried she was. With a grin on his lips, he resisted the urge to go over to appease her, and lay on the brick floor, frowning.
Chen Daniu didn't answer him, but glanced at him as if he didn't have anything. But at this glance, he was slightly stunned. In the crowd, a figure with a touch of autumn fragrance mixed in the middle, as if she was unintentionally discovered by him, and she carefully hid her body.
Zhou Shun pinched a layer of wet sweat in his palms and shouted in a low voice.
"Master Hou!"
Clenched his fists, he held his head high, did not look at the onlookers, calmly took off his battle armor, only wore a close-fitting middle coat, and strode towards the middle. The footsteps of the wind are fearless.
The black armor on Chen Daniu's body shimmered in the sun.
"Walking sticks."
He Cheng'an took the holy decree in his hand, and after reading the previous reasons, he swept the people on the field, and his sharp voice once again resounded outside the Fengtian Gate.
Usually here is heavily guarded, there are few pedestrians on the wide royal road, but today the court officials were ordered to come to watch the Ding'an Hou receive the military stick, so, in front of the eaves of the palace, are full of people, the soldiers holding the military stick are lined up on both sides, the military department Shangshu Xie Changjin, Liang Guogong Xu Wenhua and others sit in turn.
Outside the Fengtian Gate, is Chang'an Street. The two ends on the left are the royal roads leading to the right gate of Chang'an and the left gate of Chang'an. A long thousand-step corridor is the central administrative body of the Great Yan Dynasty. Including Zongren's Mansion, officials, soldiers, households, rites, Ministry of Industry, Taichang Temple, Hanlin Temple, Jinyi Guard, Bannerman Guard and Tongzheng Division, etc., are all gathered in one place.
~
The two of them walked slowly, one like a mountain and a distant water, exuding a deep sense of alienation from top to bottom. One is like a flame and a soft light, like a spring flower blooming on the branches in March. And riding is very eye-catching.
"Each other, each other."
"His Royal Highness's face is really thick and very accessible."
But in an instant, he sneered. Dongfang Qingxuan's eyebrows raised, colliding with his gaze, quite a little sighing to himself.
Zhao Zhu was only stunned, his eyes were cold, and he smiled calmly, "Then son-in-law, you have to lead the horse for your father-in-law?" ”
Dongfang Qingxuan sighed lightly, "Your Highness still doesn't know?" Slowly taking two steps forward, he suppressed his throat, and said in a voice so low that only Zhao Zhu could hear, "Chu Qi will take the future girl of your family...... Promise me to be my little daughter-in-law. ”
Zhao Zhu's face darkened, and he coldly slashed at him, not knowing what he meant.
Dongfang Qingxuan was slightly stunned, "Qingxuan is not to please you, but to please ...... The future father-in-law! ”
Zhao Zun's lips tugged and teased, "If you want to please this king, Lord Dongfang doesn't have to be in a hurry." There are a lot of people here, how about entering the house at night? ”
"Then Qingxuan and His Majesty have the same heart?" This time, it is obvious that the Metropolitan Governor of the East has learned the lessons of the past, and he is the first to strike first, and he first flirts with Zhao Zhu.
The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips curved slightly, and he turned his head casually, "The adults of the East are interested, and so is this king." ”
"I didn't think His Highness was also interested in watching people get beaten?"
Unfortunately, it was Zhao Zhu who led Bingyi. The two of them each rode a horse, and they were also walking slowly towards the Fengtian Gate. Dongfang Qingxuan narrowed his eyes, grabbed the reins, and smiled lightly in the neighing of the horse.
"Yes." Like the wind, he pursed his lips tightly and followed without saying a word. But the two of them had not yet reached the prison outside the Mukden Gate. Not far away, there was a muffled "boom" sound.
Dongfang Qingxuan smiled slightly, "Go your way, take your steps carefully." ”
"What do you mean?"
His indifferent tone, with a light smile, and a cold glow inadvertently revealed at the bottom of his eyes, which made Rufeng's face sink.
Dongfang Qingxuan's upright background is handsome, lazily riding on a horse, and his red robe is as gorgeous as a flame in the sun. ”
"Metropolitan Governor, does Your Majesty really want to fight?"
This place is very close to Fengtianmen, and the wind follows him closely.
"Fengtianmen is hot."
Dongfang Qingxuan's lips stiffened for a moment, retracted the reins of the horse, snorted, and changed the topic without comment.
Rufeng didn't raise his eyelids, "Yes." His brows furrowed slightly, he quickly raised his head and glanced at Dongfang Qingxuan, then stood with his head down, and a low "um" sound came out of his nose, "It's like...... Governor of the Metropolitan Governor. ”
"This Imperial Physician Gu is an infatuated person."
Dongfang Qingxuan, who had just come out of Zhan Shifu, rode a blue and white variegated horse, standing under the big weeping willow in front of Zhan Shifu, looking at Gu Huai's dejected appearance, his narrow phoenix eyes bent slightly, and he smiled like the wind.
The same is Qinglong Street.
~
She got into the carriage without hesitation, leaving him with only a fluttering back of his skirt. Gu Huai stood stiffly in place, there was an indescribable astringency on his young face, and there was a faint coldness in his shallow eyes.
"Call me the eldest princess." She was faint, but her voice was extremely cold, "Also, he is not a reckless martial artist, he is my husband." It is the Ding'an Marquis of the current dynasty, the eldest princess and the horse. Imperial Doctor Gu, pay attention to proportionality when speaking, so as not to be truthful. ”
“…… Elite. ”
"Is that so?"
Heh, before he could finish speaking, Zhao Runa interrupted, "Besides, there is still a seventy-year-old mother in your family, and there are more than a dozen people waiting for you to support." With him finished, she glanced coldly at him.
"Jinghua, I know that you have always complained about me, and complained that I was unwilling to take you away at the beginning...... Blame me on the pine nut slope...... Not as brave as he was. But I'm a weak doctor, not a reckless martial artist. And again......"
Gu Huai's footsteps stopped three feet away from her, wanting to approach, but not daring to approach, and in his slightly hesitant eyes, there was the most bitter memory of the love that was frozen in the past.
"The vicissitudes of the world, how can there be constant wind and frost?"
Feeling? Zhao Runa thought about this word silently, but her mind was full of Chen Daniu's deep-eyed face. She touched the hairpin on her head that he had inserted with her own hands, and there was a hint of a smile in her sweet voice, and the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Gu Huai's throat stammered, "If the love is still there, no matter sooner or later." ”
"It's late."
Oh, she sighed.
However, when she was humiliated and wanted to marry, his refusal to look forward and backward had already severed all kinds of feelings between them. Not to mention that she and Chen Daniu have a deep relationship with her husband and wife today, and they are harmonious and loving. Even if she didn't, she couldn't turn back.
Zhao Runa was slightly stunned, slightly surprised. These days, although she and Gu Huai have not seen each other often, but occasionally glance at it from a distance, how can she not feel the gaze that he wants to say goodbye?
Subconsciously, he rushed out.
"I regret it."
He called her the old name, and looked at her longing eyes, and the feelings of children in the past came to his mind. It's not deep, it's not rich, but it seems to be seared into his heart, stimulating his heart, and every time he looks at it from a distance, he will "pound" wildly.
“…… Princess. Stay. ”
Zhao Runa said lightly, as if she hadn't seen the light floating in her eyes. Previously, she didn't expect that there would be a holy decree that would come faster than her, and she also wanted to secretly "ward" Xie Changjin, and when she hit the military stick, she started slowly. But now she can't dismantle Zhao Mianze's platform, and she doesn't want to hurt Chen Daniu.
"No."
Lu'er glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Eldest princess, slave maid...... The slave maid thought that the princess should go...... Hou Ye...... The princess didn't intercede for the marquis? She was incoherent and hesitant, but between her words, she had endless concern for Chen Daniu.
"Let's go."
Glancing at the vermilion lacquer gate of the military headquarters, Zhao Runa pursed her lips and finally turned around. She is soft and introverted, she doesn't like to talk much, and she has no affection for Gu Huai for a long time, so she doesn't have any explanation, she doesn't look at him, she only glances at Lu'er.
It seems that her brother expected her to do this, so he blocked her way in advance. And he is the king, and Chen Daniu is the minister. His breath did not fall, no matter what, Chen Da Niu had to eat a meal.
Zhao Runa was stunned.
"Yesterday, when the minister was in the palace, I didn't overhear a little eunuch from the celebrant that His Majesty had an instruct, if the eldest princess interceded...... He was punished with 50 military sticks. ”
Zhao Runa sighed in her heart. With that person ordered to be sentenced, I am afraid that even if she is there, others will not be able to intervene anymore, but will fall into the tongue and ruin Chen Daniu's reputation.
He Cheng'an is here?
Gu Huai hesitated and said, "Eldest princess, the matter of Ding'an Hou is very important to Your Majesty. In order to prevent some people from deceiving and interfering in the middle...... Just a quarter of an hour ago, Gonggong He received an order from the palace and entered the military department. ”
There is only one meaning in that look, what does it have to do with you?
Zhao Runa raised her eyebrows, looked at him, and said nothing.
Her cold appearance, like a stranger she had met for the first time, and her cold attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away made Gu Huai's courage fall back into her stomach. His gaze dodged on her face, and he said, "You are here for the affairs of Ding'an Hou?" ”
Zhao Runa turned around and looked at him lightly, "Is there something wrong with Imperial Doctor Gu?" ”
"Eldest Princess!" Glancing at the guards outside the gate of the military headquarters, Gu Huai's eyes flickered, as if he had some hesitation.
The back stiffened slightly, Zhao Runa didn't look sideways, held Lu'er's hand and walked past him, said softly "Excuse", and then Shi Shiran stepped up.
Gu Huai's shallow voice had a hint of Xiao Xiao trembling, just like the excitement he was suppressing, and when he looked at the beautiful and gentle woman, the waves swelled slightly.
"Please, Eldest Princess."
Zhao Runa didn't expect that the curtain of the carriage had just been lifted, and before she stepped on the horse, she saw a long figure parked outside the Tai Hospital, with a neat medical robe on his body, reflecting his handsome face, looking both familiar and unfamiliar.
The carriage turned into Qinglong Street from Zhengyangmen and stopped outside the gate of the heavy eaves roof of the military headquarters. This is where the six departments of Dayan are located, separated by a blue brick and stone road, and directly opposite is the Tai Hospital.
As Chen Daniu's wife, she has to do something for him.
You must know that there are many rules and exquisiteness in beating military sticks. "Dragging" and "beating" are different in name, different in style, different in the person who carries out the sentence, and different in the "instruction", and the results are naturally different.
She couldn't stop Chen Daniu from receiving fifty military sticks, nor could she refute his wishes to plead with Zhao Mianze, but she didn't want to watch him get beaten and do nothing.
As soon as Chen Daniufu went out, Zhao Runa then changed into an autumn-colored cardigan, and led Lu'er out of the Hou Mansion through the side door. After getting into the carriage, she went in the same direction as Chen Daniu, but did not choose the same path as him.
