In times of crisis, you have to rely on self-help.

Almond had already been vigilant, and at this time, he only took advantage of the fact that the two of them were not paying attention, and used all his strength to push away the woman who was leaning up, pushing her towards Sheng Guangji, and then stepping into the tunnel over Sheng Guangji.

The tunnel was not very long, and Almond ran here as fast as he could, and soon reached the bookcase.

She did as she had entered, removing the red book from the bookcase and pushing it open.

She was about to escape, but found a man standing behind the bookcase.

It's fourteen.

Fourteen opened his hands to block the exit, and the meaning was obvious.

Almond thought that the two had been friends these days, so she pleaded.

"Fourteen, you let me out."

Fourteen glanced at her, and Almond was moved by his eyes, but he remained firm in front of the exit.

Yes.

Fourteen is Sheng Guangji's secret guard, so naturally he wants to obey Sheng Guangji, how can he listen to her?

But she can't sit still.

Thinking about it, almonds are doing the same trick again.

"Lord Wang!"

She shouted behind Fourteen.

It was obvious that Sheng Guangji was in the secret room, but Fourteen still subconsciously looked behind him.

Seeing this, Almond quickly took advantage of this opportunity to lower down and get out from under the fourteen arms.

I was about to run out of the study, but I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my neck, and then my eyes went dark and I fainted.

Before fainting, she heard Fourteen's voice ring.

"I'm sorry."

If I'm sorry, what's the use of the government?

Almond complained hatefully in her heart, and then fell into the darkness.

When Almond woke up and opened her eyes again, it was still pitch black.

She's not going to be blind, is she?

Almond was startled, and subconsciously reached out to touch his eyes.

But she twisted her limbs a little, and only then did she realize that she was tied up and could not move at all.

Faced with the fear of darkness and the unknown, Almond opened her mouth to cry out in fear.

"Lord Wang?"

"Fourteen?"

Although they tied her up, she subconsciously thought that they would not hurt her.

If they were going to harm her, they could do that on the first night they got her out of the palace that day.

Thinking about it, Almond called a few more times.

No one answered, which made her wonder if there was anyone around.

Soon, though, the whistling wind told her the answer.

"Smack"!

The sound of the wind piercing the air fell on her chest with sharp pain, and Almond screamed in pain, and her facial features were wrinkled.

"This soft whip was secretly made by this king himself, and it hurts people very much, but it will not leave any scars."

Sheng Guangji's voice sounded, still cold and indifferent.

But as soon as the words fell, a few more whips hit Almond.

Almond couldn't help but wail, but it inspired the tyranny of the person in front of him even more, and the whip in his hand was thrown up heavily.

She shrank and wanted to shrink her body to protect herself, but her body was tied up by five flowers, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only endure all this.

Almond learned to be obedient, no longer screamed bitterly, only endured the pain of flesh and skin, and opened his mouth with difficulty.

"Lord Wang...... Why? Why...... This does this to me? ”

Finally, the whip on her body stopped, and she heard Sheng Guangji chuckle, as if waiting for the moment she asked.

"Why?"

"Because I hate you."

Hate her?

She didn't offend the prince at all!

Almond was puzzled and wanted to die to understand.

"Why do you hate me? Obviously, I respect the prince as a teacher. ”

The air fell silent, and after a while, the darkness in front of Almond's eyes was revealed, and a blinding light came into view.

Almond curled his eyes and adjusted for a while before he slowly saw his surroundings clearly.

This is the secret room behind the study, and she is now tied to that torture rack.

She also didn't expect that she had only saved a woman from this torture rack in the afternoon, and now, she stayed on it.

Almond thought bitterly, and then looked at the person in front of him.

Sheng Guangji was still wearing the white clothes she wore before she fell unconscious, and her appearance and posture looked like a fairy in the world, but in his hand, he was still holding the soft whip that ruthlessly whipped her just now.

He said, "Will this king be rare in your respect?" You're just a lowly but self-righteous minion. ”

It was obviously such a gentle expression, but he said the most cruel words in his mouth.

It turns out that the prince sees her like this?

Then why do you help her and protect her again and again?

Almond's heart was endlessly embarrassed, even worse than being whipped just now.

I only heard Sheng Guangji continue: "Do you know where you are the most annoying? ”

Almond shook her head, really not understanding what she had done to make him hate her so much.

Sheng Guangji smiled mockingly, "That's right, how could you know that you were wrong." After all, you are so self-righteous that you think you can help everyone. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly became excited.

"Why are you helping with that poetry book? Why do you care about Liu Ruyi's business? Why did you come here? This king has given you a chance again and again, why do you want to jump in again and again? ”

"Now, your self-righteous help has harmed you, and you need to be punished and spend every day in pain and repentance!"

"How's that, almond? This king can't help you this time, who else can help you? Are those people you've helped? ”

Almond frowned more and more when she listened, was this still the Sheng Guangji she knew?

The prince she knew, who was obviously a helpful and self-sacrificing gentleman, how could he become like this?

Almond couldn't take it and retorted.

"Why should I repent and help others? Helping others is unrequited. Even if I suffer because of this, am I to blame those I have helped? Do you blame them for being weak and powerless to repay me? As long as they are grateful, then I have not helped them in vain! ”

Sheng Guangji lowered his head and smiled, and the laughter became louder and louder, which made Almond feel very uneasy.

It wasn't until he had enough laughter that Sheng Guangji raised his head, but there was no smile in his eyes, but it was full of boundless cold.

"That's because the price you paid wasn't bad enough. But don't worry, this king will make you deny your past self in pain. ”

His voice was cold, like a poisonous snake spitting letters.

"This king will make you a new one—almonds."

The words fell, and the soft whip fell on Almond again.

Almond bit her lip and stubbornly didn't say a word, and soon blood oozed from under her lip.

This time it was a long process, and the sharp pain sounded rhythmically like a drumbeat.

I don't know how long it took, but Almond felt numb.

It's a pity that she didn't faint, otherwise she might have suffered a lot.

Almond thought to herself, but her consciousness became more and more blurred.
