Chapter 103: Fighting

Wei Xunyi turned his head suddenly, he was too familiar with this soft voice, he ate and lived together all the way at that time, Ruan Mianmian's unique soft voice he heard many times, he would never hear it wrong, could it be that Ruan Mianmian pretended to be Jiang Xinyue's palace maid and came to the court scene today?

Thinking of this possibility, he immediately turned around and buried his head in his sleeve, and his complicated mood was unreasonable for a while. During this time in prison, no one talked to him, he just quietly thought about something to pass the time, for some reason the most thought was Ruan Mianmian eating like a little hamster along the way, she didn't say anything, just ate plainly, as if family friends got together, even though Wei Xunyi's identity was not short of friends, but he had never had such an experience, and the guilt of Ruan Mianmian was accumulating day by day, so that he himself was thinking about the truth of those rumors about Ruan Mianmian forcing Liu Xi'er to death.

How could such an innocent, gentle and affectionate little girl force a good friend of the Hou Mansion to death, but she could be hurt by Liu Xi'er's domineering pride.

The moment he heard Ruan Mianmian's voice, the guilt accumulated in his heart immediately welled up, and the little pride left in his heart was shattered. Now he is filthy, he is no longer a handsome son but a prisoner waiting to be exiled or die, but that girl can't hide her noble temperament even if she wears the clothes of a maid.

If... If there had been no kidnapping and kidnapping at the lantern temple fair, and there had not been everything that the river gods sacrificed later, perhaps they would have gone together in a carriage and become excellent friends in the future.

Ruan Mianmian seemed to notice Wei Xunyi's mood swings, glanced at him, and then lifted the hood and untied the veil, revealing a round face like a dumpling, looking around, everyone saw her face, and exclaimed at the same time.

The biggest reaction was the prince of Wei Guogong, after all, he just scolded Ruan Mianmian in front of everyone, plus his family fainted Ruan Mianmian yesterday, and he always couldn't help it, and at this time he turned red and lowered his head, very embarrassed.

Xu Feng's mind is not right, but he can sit firmly in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and he can observe words and feelings, at this time, looking at the expressions of everyone present, he knows that this woman is definitely not an ordinary palace maid, and then pondering what the prince of Wei Guo said, he will immediately understand Ruan Mianmian's identity.

"Weichen Dali Temple Shaoqing Xu Feng, see His Royal Highness the Lord of Ruliang County." Xu Feng didn't even pick up the hat that fell on the ground, he took a step back and bowed to Ruan Mianmian with his hair scattered, this worship is not to say how respectful Ruan Mianmian is, it's just that he also took Ruan Mianmian to persecute Jiang Xinyue, people have already offended, if they make a little mistake at this moment, I'm afraid they will be caught and not let go.

Except for Jiang Xinyue, no one else on the field had a higher status than Ruan Mianmian, so they all followed Xu Feng and bowed down, but the unrelated people had no pressure at all, but they were willing to see how these two groups of people dealt with Mai Mang, and there was a lot of gossip in the market.

"Everyone, please get up, the lord of this county was not lightly ill yesterday, but fortunately, the doctor has excellent medical skills and can already walk on the ground, I don't want to disturb the majesty of the court, but someone took my name to force my sister to give in, so I had to stand up and clarify." Ruan Mianmian's face was already white, but at this moment, he could make a shaky appearance, and after sitting down, he weakly covered his lips with his fist and coughed a few times, which was also weak, which was very pitiful.

"The county lord Mingjian, I, I'm just confused, I didn't persecute the county lord of Jingshu anything, turbidity is my son, although I made a big mistake, but how can I not feel distressed, I want to come to the county lord to experience the hearts of my parents, and please forgive us old couple!"

When the prince saw Ruan Mianmian starting to make trouble, he simply continued to kidnap her morally, anyway, for the sake of her own reputation and conduct, she couldn't deny this simple truth, even if she was there, she would never dare to bear this unreasonable reputation, and she would inevitably loosen her mouth to support the light sentence.

Ruan Mianmian glanced at the prince with some annoyance, thinking to himself why this son of the world was so unreasonable and didn't know how to advance or retreat, and he didn't know to probe the details of the other party before he spoke, no wonder it was as annoying as his mother who relied on the old and sold the old.

Thinking so in her heart, her face suddenly collapsed, tears fell down, and she cried sadly when she hid her face and fell on Jiang Xinyue's body, and no matter who tried to coax her, she refused to raise her head, only tears on her face.

"The prince said that it is so light, Mianmian does rarely understand the mind of his parents, who doesn't know that Mianmian is an orphanage and has no biological parents by his side, but the son of the world has to deliberately take it out and say it, but no matter how to say that Mianmian's current stepmother is also the current queen mother, the son said that I don't have the parents' mind to understand, doesn't it mean that the queen mother is not good for Mianmian?"

Ruan Mianmian's words were said intermittently, but it still made Shizi's back rub into a cold sweat, this is just a sentence, who knew that she was involved so much, it seems that she deliberately bullied her, and it also involves the queen mother, slandering the queen mother is a capital crime, who can afford it!

"The county lord forgives the sin, the county lord misunderstood, I have no such intention, I just lost my words for a while, I am willing to receive all the punishments, and the group lord is angry." The prince fell to his knees and forgiveness, and the punishment for a mistake was much lighter than slandering the king.

"Don't cry in Mianmian, there is still my sister who loves you, since the son of the world is an unintentional mistake, then there is no need to tell the queen mother, but the sad thing that evokes Mianmian can't help but set an example, by the way, what kind of punishment is it for losing your words in front of the royal family, Xu Shaoqing?" Jiang Xinyue gently stroked Ruan Mianmian's back with her palm, carefully comforting her, but suddenly clicked on Xu Feng who was on the side.

"It's... According to the etiquette of the imperial court, if you make a mistake in front of the nobles, you should slap your mouth ten times and give a verbal reprimand. Xu Feng didn't say it at all this time, and he could see that if the prince was not punished this time, I am afraid that the two county lords would really be able to stab the matter in front of the emperor and the queen mother, and treat him for a big crime of disrespect, which would not be solved by the palm of the mouth.

"Then let's punish it according to this, Wei Shizi is sincere in admitting his mistakes, and he still has to be punished in court." Jiang Xinyue's face was expressionless, she didn't seem to care very much, and then pointed to the holding cup behind her who was holding Ruan Mianmian, "Holding the lamp, you go, come according to the rules." ”

The people of the Wei Mansion saw that the lord of Jingshu ordered a little girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old to come out, and they were relieved, what strength can such a powerless girl have, I am afraid that beating people is like tickling, and it is not useful, although it is a shame to be punished in public, but fortunately, it will not be hurt.

Holding the lamp nodded calmly, she was suddenly ordered to do this kind of thing and did not panic, since she stood in front of the stage, she was representing the two county lords, and she couldn't let people point out a little mistake, otherwise it would affect the reputation of the county lord.

She didn't get up in a hurry, but opened the box that she had been holding, solemnly took out a long piece of wood from it, took it in her hand and turned it upside down, then got up unhurriedly and walked to the prince of Wei Guo, bowed and bowed for a half-salute: "Lord Shizi, please kneel down and be punished." ”

This kneeling and punishment is also the rule of the palace, and the prince does not dare to disobey it, so he reluctantly kneels down, but his eyes look at the wood chips in his hand.

This kind of wood chip is actually made of five extremely thin pieces of bamboo ground together, with a uniform thickness, the length of two palms, and the tied end is held in the hand of the torturer, and the other end is beaten in the face of the victim. Because there is a small gap between the five pieces of bamboo, once the outer layer is stressed, the inner piece of bamboo will also vibrate, and this kind of force will hit the person's face, and it is more painful than ten strokes.

Holding the lamp didn't make too many movements, only said "offended", and opened his arm and hit it, but for the first time, the face of the prince was red and swollen, the corners of his mouth oozed a trace of blood, his body fell to the side, and he closed his eyes in pain with a hideous expression.

The other people in the Wei Mansion obviously didn't expect this weak woman's palm mouth to be such a terrible consequence, Mrs. Shilang thought for a while, got up and said: "Wait, two county lords, didn't you say palm mouth, why do you use this kind of wooden board, as far as the concubine knows, the palm mouth only needs to use your hands!" ”

Jiang Xinyue knew that someone would ask like this, so she naturally thought of a rhetoric a long time ago: "There are indeed no such rules among the people, but the prince is disrespectful to the master in the palace, so he naturally has to use the rules of the palace, for example, this bamboo board is specially made by the grandmothers in the palace to beat the guilty palace maids, the more obvious its power and effect, the more deterrent it is, the palace maids can stand it, the prince is a big man, isn't it already unbearable?" ”

Someone below has already secretly laughed, the bamboo board used to beat the palace maid in the palace is now hitting the face of the prince of a Guogong Mansion, not to mention how fresh it is, this matter must be a big news when it gets out, and the people in the Wei Guogong Mansion also feel that the atmosphere is embarrassing, and they are all so ashamed that their faces are flushed, and they can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Mrs. Shilang also stopped talking, sat back with a gloomy face, and stopped talking for the prince.

Jiang Xinyue nodded at the cup, held the lamp knowingly, and waved the bamboo board in her hand again, every time she exerted enough strength, and it was accompanied by a crisp sound, and the needles could be heard inside and outside the hall, let alone such a loud board.

After ten strokes, she sat back behind Ruan Mianmian after holding the lamp and saluting, wiped the bamboo board clean and put it into the box, only to feel that both wrists were out of strength and did not obey the call, which shows how much strength she used for these ten strokes. The prince of Wei was already full of blood, his face was swollen and not much different from the braised pig's head meat made by Uncle Hua, two lumps of purple-red blood stasis on his cheeks, and he spit out a mouthful of blood and two teeth, and his eyes were half-open as if he was in a coma in pain.
