Chapter 38 Say, Who smoked you?
Jingqin turned around and walked away a few steps, turned around and said, "Doesn't the third princess still understand?" ”
Chu Ning didn't speak, and looked at her fixedly.
"In this huge harem, King Xin can't protect you, the prime minister can't protect you, and only Niangniang can protect you."
Jingqin's face showed contempt, "But you chose the wrong camp, and you fell to the side of King Xin." ”
Chu Ning revealed the emperor's death to the prime minister's wife, and held Jingqin hostage to ask King Xin to relieve her siege.
These two things, in the eyes of Queen Yao, are undoubtedly evidence that she fell to King Xin.
The emperor's eldest son, Chu Ze, was still hostage in the Chen State, and only King Xin was able to inherit the throne at this time.
What Empress Yao wants to guard against is King Xin, and Chu Ning is also regarded as a thorn in her side.
Chu Ning only has the empty name of a princess in the palace, and it is easy to pull out this thorn in the eye, but it takes some twists and turns to regain the jade seal.
Jingqin said earnestly: "Third princess, you know what the queen wants. ”
Chu Ning said: "The palace is tied here, and there is no way to pick up that thing." ”
Jingqin blessed her, "When the third princess thinks about it, she will let me know, and the servant will pick it up for you." ”
As she spoke, she turned her head and instructed the eunuch again: "Your Highness, don't break the skin of the third princess." ”
The execution eunuch bowed his head and said, "Yes." My aunt can rest assured that there is torture in the violent room without seeing the wounds. ”
He held a barbed whip in both hands and presented it to Jingqin.
Jingqin deliberately picked up the whip and sighed with emotion: "Once you are whipped, you have to be stripped of a large piece of skin and flesh." ”
The eunuch put away the whip and said in a low voice: "The whip is all on the back, and no one can see the wound under the clothes. ”
Chu Ning didn't show a look of fear as she thought.
Jingqin snorted coldly, "The third princess's body is so noble, and the wound should be washed several times with strong salt water." ”
After the execution eunuch sent Jingqin away, he came back and saluted Chu Ning.
"The slave doesn't know how His Royal Highness offended the queen's mother, but the slave can't go against the mother's will."
He walked to the side and cleaned his hands, lifted the long whip covered with steel thorns, and walked around behind Chu Ning.
"Your Highness, bear it."
The whip was wrapped in a strong wind and slammed towards Chu Ning's back.
But the whip grazed her back, changed direction abruptly, and whipped hard to the ground.
The executing eunuch was knocked away by a palm and fell into the distance, unable to move.
Han Tang used his sword to break the ropes tied to Chu Ning's hands and feet, and asked worriedly, "Has Your Highness been injured?" ”
Chu Ning shook his head and jumped off the shelf.
"Why are you here?"
Han Tang replied: "I heard from the guards who changed shifts that His Highness was locked up in the violent room, I was worried, so I sneaked in to take a look." ”
He frowned slightly, even if he saw that Chu Ning was fine, the worry in his heart was still unabated.
This palace is indeed a terrible place.
Chu Ning looked at him, smiled slightly, sighed again and said, "Stupid, do you want to fold yourself in?" ”
Han Tang stared at Chu Ning's face, the corners of his mouth moved, but the words in his heart were not spoken.
Although he is the son of the Han family, in this palace, he is just a small imperial guard.
With only one sword and one life, how could he protect Chu Ning again and again?
Chu Ning leaned over and picked up the long whip, walked up to the eunuch, and stared at him with a smile.
"I don't know if there is a new punishment in the violent room, will the father-in-law try it himself, or will the palace people who committed the crime try it?"
"Self and nature are the ...... of palace people"
The execution eunuch looked at Chu Ning in fear, and subconsciously shrank back.
"Really?" Chu Ning said with a smile, "Then ask your father-in-law to try the whipping himself today." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her wrist was raised, and a whip was whipped on the eunuch.
He bared his teeth in pain and hissed for air, but before he could open his mouth to beg for mercy, another whip fell.
"Your Highness spares your life! The slave deserves death for his crimes......"
Chu Ning ignored his words, "It's wrong, it's His Highness who was punished today, not a minion." ”
Then, there were several more merciless whips, and the eunuch rolled all over the ground.
Han Tang stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, "Your Highness carefully has a painful hand. ”
The eunuch looked at Han Tang expectantly, thinking that this little boy couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to intercede for him.
Unbeknownst to him, Han Tang took the whip from Chu Ning's hand and whipped it down heavily.
"Say, who smoked you?"
