Chapter 20: Punishment
Qi Mingyu was not angry at the ridicule in her words, but just laughed, "The East Palace has been understaffed recently, so the two of them can make do with it." ”
Qin Ran: "......" Qin Ran smiled coldly, and he was so angry that he didn't want to speak.
Qi Mingyu's eyes were complicated, and he looked at Qin Ran who was angry, and didn't look at him.
He grew up with one of Qin Ruan, and although the two were monarchs and ministers, they were also close friends.
He has often been in and out of the Qin Mansion since he was a child, and Qin Ran didn't want to be as indifferent and silent as he is now.
At that time, Qin Ran was a very cute little girl, Qin Ruan Zhi doted on her, and Qi Mingyu also regarded Qin Ran as a sister.
How could he bear to see her tortured now!
Seeing that the fifty sentences were about to be fooled like this, Qin Ran gritted his teeth, and finally became angry, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" This matter is not child's play, Qin Ran knows that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is working hard, but you can protect Qin Ran today, how can you protect Qin Ran every day in the future.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is favoritism today, how do people from the outside world think of you? How do you want to look at Qin Ran?
No matter how difficult this road is, it is Qin Ran's own choice after all, and please respect Qin Ran's choice! ”
She wants the people to be healthy and peaceful, but she doesn't want to be unjustified from the beginning.
I don't want to let the people who care about me suffer!
And the path that her father and mother chose for her, she didn't want to go, she wanted to blame, and she could only blame herself for being selfish!
Qi Mingyu looked at Qin Ran and was silent for a long time this time, and she didn't have the heart to tease her anymore.
Instead, he got up, slowly walked over to her and crouched down, eye level with her.
Qi Mingyu moved his hand in his sleeve, and after a few hesitations, he still raised a hand and gently put it on Qin Ran's head, "Qin Xiaoran, do you know the hardships of this road?"
Do you know how distressed it must be for those who care about you to see you suffer so much? ”
Qin Ran lowered her head, and the scattered hair covered her eyes, "Choose to make, die or die!" ”
Qi Mingyu looked at her, couldn't see her eyes, but could hear the firmness in her words.
Finally, Qi Mingyu sighed deeply, then got up and sat down under the porch.
"Execution!"
"Bang bang!" This time the board fell, and there was no mercy.
The board fell on Qin Ran's body, and the pain made her clench her fists suddenly.
Qin Ran lowered his head, and his hands tightly grasped the wooden board under him, as if he wanted to buckle off a piece of the wooden board.
Under the corridor, Qi Mingyu looked at Qin Ran, who gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound, and the sound of the board in contact with the flesh and skin was clearly heard in his ears.
The scalp of the listener was numb, and Qin Ran's face turned pale a little.
Qi Mingyu only looked at it for a while, and then couldn't bear to look away anymore.
At this time, a guard walked into the courtyard and saluted and announced, "Your Highness, Prince Qin, General Si and Murong Shizi ask to see you." ”
Qi Mingyu's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Qin Ran, who gritted his teeth and didn't scream, before he said, "Bring them here." ”
I wanted to come to the palace, and several people heard about it.
He knew that Ruan Zhi was coming, but Si Qinian was coming, and he didn't expect it.
After all, Si Qinian was very disgusted with this marriage.
"Bring three chairs." The guards who reported left, Qi Mingyu waved his hand and asked the guards around him to move a few chairs in the house.
"Yes."
Not long after the chairs were moved, the three of them were brought in.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of the board hitting the flesh.
Several people paused at the same time, and then walked inside.
When passing by Qin Ran's side, Qin Ruanzhi didn't look at her.
However, Si Qinian and Murong Shu glanced at this suffocating scene, and their eyes were full of complexity for a while.
I saw that on the wooden board, Qin Ran was still lying on his stomach without saying a word, but his back and buttocks were already a blur of flesh and blood.
But even so, she remained silent.
She hung low, her hair covering her beautiful eyes, but she could see the bleeding lips that had been bitten by her, and there were blood streaks slowly flowing down the corners of her lips.
The blood dripped on the ground, but it seemed to drip into the hearts of several men present, which made people's hearts tremble.
At this time, Qin Ruan's saluting voice came from a few steps away, "Minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
