Chapter VI: Punished
Bai Yi walked to an empty and dark room,
When she saw the dark shadow in front of her, she knew it was her father, "Why didn't Daddy light a candle?"
"Why are you here?" A low, but clean, powerful voice came,
He is a male attendant, who was favored by the empress to stay by his side and became the imperial concubine because of his excellent appearance and proficient in music and rhythm, and was given the name Shang Yu by the empress herself.
"I'm here to see my father, by the way, it's snowing today......"
"This is a big taboo, don't come back in the future."
Bai Yi couldn't see his expression clearly, but when he heard such words, his heart was cold. I thought I would tease her with funny things as before, but I didn't expect him to be in front of me, but it seemed to be far away.
"In that case, then I won't bother my father." Bai Yi's smile stopped for the last second, and he walked outside with heavy steps,
Just two steps away, I heard his voice, "To live a long time in the palace, let the empress have you in her eyes first, don't be too busy and overfulfilled, remember." ”
Bai Yi didn't stop, but felt the temperature in his words.
She laughed at herself, time may really change everything in this world!
It's a wonderful feeling to go out and step on the snow, and that texture.
Suddenly, a light in front of her eyes surrounded her,
"Her Majesty has arrived—"
Bai Yi panicked, only to see Bai Xiyan walking over with the mother queen, she saw the mother queen as if she heard the sound of a beast in the dark night, she was so at a loss,
When she was a child, she had seen her mother punish all the people who served her father and beat them to death on the spot.
She hid behind the door and watched the familiar people all stained red with blood, one by one no longer moving or struggling,
I remember that it was also winter, and the next morning the snow melted, and the yard seemed to be washed with blood, and the fishy smell made her remember it to this day.
Now that it's been a long time, when she sees her mother again, she can't help but be afraid,
"The Mother is well." She knelt down and made a big salute.
Bai Xiyan was still acting like a child in front of the mother, "Mother, promise me, don't punish my sister, my sister will do stupid things because she misses her father, spare her once!" ”
The Empress let go of her hand and walked over, Bai Yi became more nervous with each step closer.
Looking at the woman in the phoenix robe, Bai Yi felt like an ant that anyone could step on to death, father, you still let me into her eyes, he~, she can't tolerate it in her eyes.
"Punish you for breaking the rules, come on, twenty lashes," her voice always deterred people and sent chills down their backs.
"Don't-" It's Xiaolan, silly girl, can you stop it?
Xiaolan protected Bai Yi's front, "Please ask Her Majesty to be gracious,"
Xiaolan knelt down and kowtowed, slamming twice, leaving a blood mark on her forehead.
The waitresses beside the empress dragged her aside, turned away, and sat down in the chair that the waitress had brought to watch.
Two people with square wooden sticks stood on either side of her, alternately hitting her thin body, five sticks down, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her back was numb,
She pinched her right hand tightly and bled out, so she couldn't hold back and cry out in pain,
Because someone told her not to cry or scream at such times, because people who see it that way will be happier and more willing to follow their wishes.
Looking at Bai Yi who was like that, Bai Xiyan was afraid to block his face with his hands, from being happy at the beginning to not wanting to see it now,
Her mother, the Empress, still has the leisure to drink the tea that has just been tributed.
"Stop—"
