Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Arrival of Wei Zhi
For Ji Ya, the arrival of Wei Zhi is simply salvation, but for others, there are more important things, Wei Zhi brought the emperor's edict, and the protector of Wei Zhi is not conducive to causing a big disaster, and should be punished heavily, and the task of supervision and punishment is handed over to Ji Tang.
Ji Ya is a princess, but so what, she doesn't have the slightest say in this matter.
When he was punished, Wei Zhi took off his shirt, which is a rule of the Nanwu royal family, requiring that every whip should be left to prevent someone from stealing and slipping. When Wei Zhi took off his shirt, his body was already densely covered with scars, some were old wounds, and some were new injuries that had not been dealt with.
"The Lord Protector is not good, twenty lashes! If the master makes a mistake, he will be whipped twenty! Deceive the upper and lower levels, and whip twenty! Ji Tang looked at Wei Zhi, "These sixty lashes, do you have any complaints?" ”
Wei Zhi knelt on the ground, his back straight: "The subordinates are convinced!" ”
"Wu Ma Heng, execution!"
Ji Ya was sitting on the chair, and she was already standing up uneasily at this time, "Brother Prince, it's all Ji Ya's fault, can you ......?"
Can anything? She didn't finish speaking, and Ji Tang didn't give her a chance, because Wu Ma Heng had already started to do it under his instructions, the whip was brought by Wei Zhi himself, it was a special whip made by the Nanwu royal family, and it was covered with dense barbs, and Wu Ma Ling had consciously moved in a bucket of water.
Because Wei Zhi already had scars on his back, Wu Ma Heng's first whip, the old scars were already oozing blood, and the new injuries were also faintly oozing blood. One whip, two whips...... Fifteen...... Twenty...... At this time, Wei Zhi was already a little unable to hold on, Wu Ma Heng stopped his hand, and directly poured a basin of cold water, every whip, the punished person must be sober to count.
Wei Zhi is one of the most powerful guards in the Nanwu Palace, but in the face of such a punishment, he can barely hold on to twenty lashes, although this is related to his own injuries, but more importantly, the particularity of the whip. Seeing that Wei Zhi was sober, Wu Ma Heng continued to fight.
Thirty......
Fifty......
In front of everyone's eyes, Wei Zhi fainted, and the moment he fell, there were still some blood stains oozing from the corners of his mouth. Another basin of cold water, continue to fight, finally, it's all over. Just when Wu Ma Heng reported to Ji Tang at the end, Wei Zhi suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell heavily to the ground, the first to rush up was Wu Ma Ling, he carried Wei Zhi directly to his room without saying a word, Wu Ma Heng followed closely to deliver the medicine, and then Ji Ya came in a hurry.
Just when Ji Ya wanted to come to the bedside to watch, Wu Maling couldn't help but reprimand her: "The third princess, don't make trouble." ”
Do you add to the chaos? Ji Ya was a little confused, but she didn't know what she could do. At this time, Ji Yan also came in, she didn't approach, she just stretched out her head at the table to look, in fact, she heard the whole process of Wei Zhi's punishment next door, there was really nothing to see. At this time, when she saw Ji Ya, she still opened her mouth to comfort: "I have already sent someone to ask for a doctor, the third sister doesn't have to worry too much." ”
Doctor? Ji Ya was even more sad, why didn't she think of it? At this moment, Ji Ya suddenly thought that following her, Wei Yi must be very aggrieved!
That day, Ji Ya had been guarding Wei Zhi's bedside, and she couldn't tell why, but in short, she suddenly thought that this was a very important person!
When it was almost noon, Wei Zhi asked for water in a daze, Ji Ya poured a glass of water, and wanted to feed him, but Wei Zhi's injuries made Ji Ya not know what to do, she turned around and left the room, wanting to find someone to ask for a spoon, and after a rough look, there was no one, so she could only take it herself.
Wei Zhi was lying in Wu Ma Ling's room, this room was on the opposite side of Ji Yan's room, after going out, Ji Ya faintly heard a sound in Ji Yan's room, very low, but surprisingly, she actually heard it clearly.
"Wu Maling, you are the one who will be punished today, and I will definitely carry half of it for you!" Ji Yan's voice was a little low, and it seemed that she was also scared today.
But Wu Maling didn't give her a chance to sensationalize, and said directly: "If you run around like this, you don't need others to find out, I'll break your leg first!" ”
......
There was silence in the room for a moment, and Ji Yan still spoke: "I think it, you are just my guard after all, it is really not good to treat me like this!" ”
"Then I'll put it another way." Wu Maling is very easy to discuss: "As long as I am here, you will not be able to do anything!" This is indeed a very touching statement, but as soon as the words fell, Wu Maling suddenly raised his voice, "Ji Yan, the last piece, that's mine!" ”
"What I got first, it's mine!"
The fighting in the room continued, but Ji Ya couldn't listen to it anymore, Ji Yan was really lucky, the people around her were so good! She looked back at the room, she and Wei Zhi would never get along like that, but she was really envious!
After all, he is a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood, and after a night, Wei Zhi has been completely awake, and he can even get out of bed and walk, but whether it hurts or not, I am afraid no one knows except him. This time, he came with a mission, so naturally he couldn't delay it for too long.
"You mean, that mysterious man really has something to do with my mother?" Hearing the news of her mother, Ji Ya was very excited.
Wei Zhi looked down at the girl who was holding his arm, maybe she was too excited, her sharp nails had already hurt Wei Zhi, but Wei Zhi just smiled and didn't break free, he knew this girl's thoughts, so naturally he wouldn't criticize her.
"The message I received before I came down." Ji Tang was also looking at them, frowning slightly, but for a moment, he was seen by Wei Zhi, so he pulled out his arm without a trace, and the movement was physical, for fear of hurting the little princess's heart, but he was too worried, his little princess couldn't take care of these details at this time, and her heart was full of that shocking news, but it was Ji Tang who frowned again. But Wei Zhi didn't seem to have the slightest feeling, and continued: "Your Majesty has instructed that the little princess can stay in Daqi to track down the news, and return with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the second princess in the future!" ”
"Then ......" Ji Ya was so happy that she didn't know what to say, her mother!
"Little princess, don't worry, your subordinates have already sent someone to check!" Wei Zhi's face was businesslike, but his tone was gentle.
"Let's put this matter down first!" Suddenly, Himedo spoke.
Hearing this, Ji Ya immediately collapsed: "Why? Brother Prince, I can't let it go, that's my mother! ”
Wei Zhi was also very surprised, but it was not easy to speak, because before he came, the emperor had ordered that in the territory of Daqi, everything must be arranged by the prince, although he still has his own tasks, but he can't spoil big things, how much can be checked, it all depends on fate.
"Get on your knees!" Ji Tang suddenly turned cold, and he didn't know who he was talking to, and before Ji Ya could react, Wei Zhi had already knelt down.
"Subordinates know their mistakes!" Wei Zhi immediately knelt down, but he didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so decisive that he didn't give face to the little princess at all. In fact, he said this at this time, he was also selfish, if he returned to the prince alone, maybe there would be any consequences, if he only told the little princess, he was afraid that the little princess would be anxious and spoil the big thing, so he deliberately said it in public, he thought that His Royal Highness the prince would allow himself to pursue it with all his might for the sake of the little princess's face, but ......
"Wei Zhi, you are so bold, do you really dare to do anything to you?" Ji Tang was angry, looking at Ji Ya beside him, he almost couldn't help but move up, clenched his fists, and said sharply: "And you, kneel!" ”
Although she didn't like herself, Ji Tang had never scolded her so harshly, Ji Ya was a little dazed, but she knelt down reflexively, no matter how favored she was, she was just a princess, and the entire Nanwu, except for the emperor and queen, anyone had to kneel to him.
He can afford it!
Ji Tang couldn't help but didn't hit Ji Ya, he didn't have such a good temper towards Wei Zhike, he raised a foot and put it on Wei Zhi's body, when Wu Ma Heng entered the door, he just saw this scene, he hesitated for a moment, turned around and closed the door.
"The subordinates know their mistakes, they shouldn't play tricks in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to confess!" Wei Zhi knelt back in place, not even daring to look at Ji Ya. Ji Ya was confused, she was still confused at the moment, she didn't know what mistake they had made, and she made the prince's brother so angry.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the whereabouts of the grain have been checked!" Just like not seeing the two people kneeling on the ground, Wu Ma Heng saluted back: "Go to the frontier, but I haven't found out if I have left Daqi!" ”
Hearing this, the faces of all the people present turned pale, and when Ji Tang sent someone back, Wei Zhi probably knew that the little princess had caused a catastrophe, but he never thought that it would be so serious. Ji Ya also began to be afraid, she was not a fool, if this was really the handiwork of other countries, then she, and even the entire Nanwu, probably couldn't stay out of it, but the person who was most afraid was Ji Tang, and he couldn't think of how to end it for a while.
"Go back!" Ji Tang didn't have the heart to scold Ji Ya anymore, at this time, he had to find a way to prevent the grain from reaching the frontier, even if it was destroyed! Ji Ya left the room without saying a word, Wei Zhi wanted to stay, but Wu Maheng gave him a look, and he left with him, and there were finally only two people left in the room.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to worry." There were no outsiders, the seriousness on Wu Ma Heng's face suddenly disappeared, on the contrary, there was a faint smile, he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "The grain and grass have been stopped by someone, at least on the surface, they have been burned." ”
Hearing this news, Ji Tang instantly felt pleasantly surprised: "Who? ”
"It's the hands of the people around Miss Ah Wei, and it's also the news from them." Speaking of this, Wu Maheng was a little puzzled, "But she said, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remember that this is all your handiwork!" ”
Ji Tang knows Ah Wei, this is the friendship of two people, and even said that they have no friendship at all, everything is what Ji Tang thinks he thinks, Wu Maheng doesn't know much about these things, he just knows that the prince admires that girl very much, then she is trustworthy, that's all!
