The crowd suddenly stirred, and loud and small voices came out.

"What is this for?"

"Harm, it's not the eldest lady of the Bai family, she can't get used to her own concubine, and now she wants to let that little concubine wander the streets."

"What's there to see about the streets?"

"You think it's really a street parade? She wanted the little concubine to ride a wooden donkey, and I heard that the little concubine had fornicated with her cousin and was caught by the eldest lady of the Bai family. ”

These words accurately reached Gong Lingxi's ears, and she frowned, not wanting to see such a scene.

These women in ancient times really did everything in order to compete for favor, but all this has nothing to do with her, she has no bodhisattva heart.

"Nothing to see, let's go." She said indifferently.

Chu Yiwei pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Ling Xi, why don't we stay, it's the first time I've been back in the city to come out with you for the first time, and I don't want to go back so soon." ”

"You don't know what it is to ride a wooden donkey?" Gong Lingxi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Chu Yiwei, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could he be willing to look at such filthy things.

She didn't know it originally, but she had read a lot of books in her previous life and understood a little, this riding a wooden donkey was a torture to a woman in ancient times, if a married woman cheated, she had to let the woman strip naked, ride on a wooden donkey, and parade through the streets.

"I don't know." Chu Yiwei said honestly.

Gong Lingxi frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "Then you can watch it." ”

Chu Yi was a little confused at the moment, feeling that Gong Lingxi seemed to be angry, but after thinking about it, Gong Lingxi had nothing to be angry about.

They stood in the crowd and made way for the open space in the middle.

A sedan chair slowly stopped, just in front of Gong Lingxi and Chu Yiwei.

A noblewoman of about forty or fifty years of age stepped out of the sedan chair, dressed in splendid clothes, with many expensive headdresses on her head, a string of fine jade chains around her neck, and a pair of delicately embroidered shoes at her feet.

This is a famous figure in the imperial city - Wang Cuiming.

Wang Cuiming's father is an imperial businessman, and she is married to Bai Shaohui, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so she can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face among these noblewomen in the imperial city.

It's just that her only flaw is that she gave birth to a daughter and gave birth control, so that Bai Shaohui took concubines every day, and she could only swallow her anger and deal with those concubines who were younger and more beautiful than her in secret.

Wang Cuiming walked down with a proud face, glanced around, and saw that there were people watching jokes around her, and she felt very good.

Immediately afterwards, a woman in prison uniform and ragged clothes was dragged out of it by the Baifu family.

The woman's prison uniform was covered with blood from the whip, her long black hair covered her face, and she wore handcuffs on her hands and legs, like a prisoner about to be taken to the execution ground.

Seeing her, Wang Cuiming sneered, and said in a weird manner: "Sister, this way is going to be good, this wooden donkey was built by a carpenter overnight, and you are the first to ride it." ”

Wang Cuiming walked over and brushed the hair on the woman's face, revealing a delicate face.

It's just that the face is now full of scars, and the eyes are full of hatred.

Gong Lingxi's figure was slightly stunned, and the woman was actually Ye Ling, who she had seen in the lotus banquet.

That day, Xiaoyu also told her Ye Ling's identity, Ye Yun's cousin, Ye Mansion is a dart game, and Ye Ling occasionally takes a dart.

"Wang Cuiming, you can't die well!" Ye Ling scolded resentfully.

Wang Cuiming smiled proudly, "You scold, continue to scold on Huangquan Road, I see how long you can be hard-mouthed." ”

She waved her hand, "Someone, bring the wooden donkey." ”

Jia Ding untied Ye Ling's handcuffs and feet so that she could ride on the wooden donkey.

With the handcuffs out of his hands, Ye Ling looked at Wang Cuiming who was standing in front of him, and used all his strength to hit her in the face.

Ye Ling has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and this slap went down, Wang Cuiming fell directly to the ground, leaving a bright red five-finger print on her face, she was stunned for a moment, and then she was furious, got up from the ground, pointed at Ye Ling and scolded: "You cheap hooves dare to beat me? ”

This reversal stunned the surrounding people, the family members and maids were stunned, but the onlookers couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, slap her for me, beat her to death!" Wang Cuiming shouted.

The maid beside her immediately took out the board she was carrying and stepped forward, and Ye Ling was also grabbed by the family and couldn't move.

She was held for a few days, without a drop of water, and it is a miracle that she is still alive.

"Wang Cuiming, you have done so many heartbreaking things, you will definitely be punished by God." Ye Ling scolded with his last strength.

The maid was even more angry, and the strength to beat her increased.

Her face was red and swollen from the beating, and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, and her original delicate face had become miserable.

"This ......" Chu Yiwei held back his anger, took a step forward, and was pulled by Gong Lingxi.

He is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Chu State, how can he tolerate these big families bullying people like this?

"What are you going to do?" Gong Lingxi said coldly.

Chu Yiwei looked at her and said seriously: "They are bullying people, I can't stand it." ”

Gong Lingxi actually felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little cute for a while, and simply went too far, and asked indifferently: "What can you do if you pass?" This is someone else's family matter, in what capacity do you interfere? Even if you save the woman, how are you going to settle her? She has now ended up like this, even if she is still alive, it is painful to live, and death is not a relief for her. ”

"How do you know if you don't try." Chu Yiwei clenched his fists, and anger rose from the bottom of his heart.

He was angry that such a thing happened on the streets of the Imperial City, but no one came to stop it, and these people just looked at it indifferently, as if watching a joke.

Gong Lingxi wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it.

Maybe what Chu Yiwei said also makes sense.

He stepped forward, grabbed the plank in the maid's hand, and said angrily, "Stop." ”

Wang Cuiming looked at him puzzled, probably because he didn't expect that someone would dare to help Ye Ling out. With her status in the imperial city, except for the royal relatives, few people really dare to provoke her.

"Childe, if you have something to say, who are you?" Wang Cuiming asked out loud.

She is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, and when she looks at Chu Yiwei's appearance, she knows that she is not an ordinary person.

"Isn't it blind that you can't recognize this palace?" Chu Yiwei glanced at her and couldn't help but burst into foul language.

Seeing Chu Yiwei step forward, Gong Lingxi couldn't let it go, and walked a few steps forward to his side.

Gong Lingxi is dressed in red like fire, peerless and gorgeous. Just now he hid in the crowd and didn't attract attention, but now when he comes out, he immediately attracts people's attention.

"Isn't that the Prime Minister's Mansion Qianjin Palace?"

"Why is she here, so who is the son next to her? How have I never seen it. ”
