She had read a lot of novels and television, and in ancient times, the cane punishment was very heavy, and many people couldn't do it after being beaten, not to mention that they still had three hundred blows? It would kill people! This was the imperial palace, or was it in front of the emperor's apartment, and he really dared to kill her? Impossible, right?

However, in a flash, several of the man's followers had rushed up, grabbed her left and right, and slammed her to the ground, while the others took out their wooden sticks out of nowhere, ready to hit her.

It hurts! Her head is pressed to the ground, it hurts! Who will save her? This is the palace, in front of the Son of Heaven, someone will always come to save her, right? Even if she wants to die, she won't die here, she will die now, right?

She struggled and looked around, but those who could be called rich and powerful were all far away and indifferent.

Despair welled up in her heart! She watched the rod smash down on her ass, and her mind went blank......

Suddenly, a figure flashed over, grabbed the rod of the staff, and said in a deep voice: "The second prince's subordinates are merciful! This slave is the third prince's new recruit of the scholar, and he has won the favor of the third prince, can you please reduce the punishment?"

The voice...... So familiar! Bian Xin thought in a trance, who is it? Oh, she remembered, it was Xiu Ya! Is Xiu Ya trying to save her? Also, the second prince? Is the person who wants to kill her the second prince who is second only to the emperor in legend? Is it really terrifying......

The voice of the second prince was terrifying: "It turned out to be the third brother's person, and the king can't show mercy to his subordinates, so he should replace the third brother to train the slaves!"

"Second Prince!" Xiu Ya grabbed the hand of the staff and didn't move, "Second Prince, this slave is disrespectful to you, she really should be trained, but if she is trained to death, she will no longer be able to serve the third prince." ”

The second prince snorted coldly: "You are protecting this minion." Why, don't you take this king in your eyes?"

Xiu Ya let go of the rod and arched his hand: "The slave doesn't dare!"

The second prince shouted: "This king is just going to train this minion! What if the training is dead? You beat me, beat me hard!"

Xiu Ya also wanted to turn the tide: "The second prince, the third prince really loves this scholar, please raise your noble hand......"

The third prince's eyes turned cold, and he stared at him coldly: "What if you don't raise your noble hand? Do you want to contradict me like this minion? Okay, if you have the courage, just try it! It's been a long time since anyone dares to contradict this king, and this king is looking forward to it!"

There was a dead silence at the scene, no one dared to make a sound, and no one dared to look directly at the figure of the second prince.

It was the first time that Bian Xin felt that she was so close to death! Even when she fell from the 28th floor, she had never been like this! She looked at Xiu Ya, and for the first time there was a begging in her eyes, begging him to hold on like this and give her a chance to live!

However, after Xiu Ya and the second prince looked at each other for two seconds, they closed their eyelids, lowered their heads, took two steps back, and said respectfully: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Then, he was silent and didn't look at Bian Xin anymore.

It seems that this time, if she doesn't die, she will have to die!" Bian Xin closed her eyes in despair.

The second prince sneered, stroked his beard, and scolded the entourage: "What are you still doing for me......?"

The sound of the rod falling on his body was so loud! Bian Xin felt that his body would crack open in a short time!

I'm really unwilling, I've survived crisis after crisis, and now I'm going to fall here? I'm unwilling, I'm really unwilling!

Porphyry--As the rod fell on her for the second time, one of her tears fell!

So cheap for your own life!

If she still has a chance to live, she will definitely and will cherish her life more than ever......

Faintly, a vague figure covered the tears she fell to the ground, and above her, a calm and powerful voice sounded: "Second brother is angry, can you give the little brother a face, and let the little brother teach this short-eyed slave a lesson?"

The voice...... Bian Xin opened his eyes again and looked up, the third prince, will the third prince save her, can he save her?

Those entourages holding the rod of the staff, when they saw the appearance of the third prince, were a little jealous, and their hands were much lighter, and their movements were much slower.

When the second prince saw his younger brother coming, he didn't panic at all, but just smiled lightly: "It's a coincidence that the third brother came, this slave is so heavy?"

The third prince said: "Second brother, this slave is not important, so it is not worth the second brother's fight, isn't it? Besides, it is Christmas Day, and this is in front of the emperor's door, if you see blood or die, wouldn't it be very unlucky? ”

He spoke very politely and gently, but his voice was extremely powerful, with a faint hint of never giving in.

Here, there are many cronies and henchmen of the emperor's relatives, and they are all looking at the two most powerful princes.

Who is strong, who is weak, who wins, who loses, who will be cowardly and concedeful, who will be strong and have the upper hand? This is a very delicate matter!

The second prince stroked his beard and stared at the third prince for a long time before he said lightly: "Oh, if I let this slave go, how are you going to teach him a lesson?"

The second prince turned his head to look at Xiu Ya: "Xiu Ya, what did this *** do when I was away?"

Xiu Ya arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, she not only blocked the way of the second prince, but also contradicted the second prince. ”

The third prince's eyes sank, and he said sharply: "Sure enough, he is a slave who doesn't know the height of the sky! If you don't teach him a good lesson, I will lose all my face! Xiu Ya, since it is the fault of this *** and that cheap mouth, then give me a hundred slaps!"

"Yes!" Xiu Ya didn't say a word, strode forward, pulled up Bian Xin, raised his slap, opened the bow left and right, and fanned her mouth with a "pop".

Bian Xin was slapped so that her eyes were full of stars, and there seemed to be firecrackers in her ears, but she didn't resist, didn't cry out in pain, and didn't shed tears, just gritted her teeth and endured silently.

She knew very well that this was her only chance to live!

Bang Bang ...... The rhythmic, loud sound of slapping her mouth, so frightening, that slowly, she became numb, and she couldn't even feel the pain.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of "popping" finally stopped, Xiu Ya put down his hand, stood aside, and said to the third prince: "Lord Wang, a hundred strokes of the palm are finished!"

The third prince's expression remained the same, and he said lightly to the second prince: "Second brother, I believe that this slave has been taught a lesson, and he will never dare to make a mistake again, can you let this slave go?"

The second prince didn't seem to be satisfied, but he didn't pursue it again, just snorted: "This time I'll give the third brother a face, don't let me meet him again next time, otherwise-hmph!"

He flicked his sleeves and strode into the Rising Sun Palace.

Death is finally far away! She has finally survived, right? Bian Xin slowly lowered her head, and saw drops of blood, dripping to the ground, her blood?

She slowly reached out and touched her mouth, not feeling pain, only a wet patch.

When I looked closely, my hands were bright red and full of blood!

She wanted to laugh, but her whole face was numb and stiff, only the blood dripping down was flowing, fresh, and vivid.

In a trance, she shook twice, and the suppressed pain all came up, and she could barely stand still.

The third prince looked at her coldly, and raised his chin to Xiu Ya: "Look at her declining appearance, there is enough embarrassment, don't take it away quickly." ”

Xiu Ya walked over, opened his five fingers and shook it in front of Bian Xin's eyes: "Hey, are you still alive?"

Bian Xin couldn't speak, just looked at him with his eyes open, then closed his eyes and fell limply on top of him, confused.

She didn't know what happened next, she only vaguely remembered that Xiu Ya picked her up and walked a long way, and then went into a room, put her on the bed, and rubbed her medicine.

Ah, it hurts! The ointment felt much more painful on the wound than when she was slapped in the mouth!

This sharp pain made her shiver a few times, and she completely woke up.

Her mouth won't rot, will she? Her face won't be ruined, will she? If she really broke her appearance, she would have tied a bomb to her body, become a human bomb, and die with that pig!

Xiu Ya sighed faintly while treating her wounds: "Do you hate me to death now?"

Bian Xin looked at him and shook his head. She didn't blame him at all! She knew he had done his best to help her! Although the slaps seemed heavy, the thunder and rain were small when he struck, and the force was just right, and if he hit too lightly or too hardly, her fate would be even worse.

Xiu Ya raised his eyes: "You really don't hate me?"

Bian Xin nodded.

Xiu Ya sighed: "This time it's your fate, don't have a next time, I'm also stunned today!"

Bian Xin didn't speak, just closed his eyes and endured to keep the tears from falling.

Xiu Ya told her: "Don't talk or eat for the past two days, bear with me, lest this flower-like face be broken, and I feel distressed when I look at it." Don't worry, my medicine is a holy product in the palace, and I guarantee that you will be cured in a few days without injury, as long as you don't tear up the wound. ”

After he applied medicine to Bian Xin's wound, he carefully bandaged it with cotton yarn before it was finished: "You should be tired too, let's sleep first." I remind you, don't think that you can stop working if you are injured, you have to follow the prince these days, wait with you, don't go on a business trip. ”

Bian Xin resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

She was injured and couldn't eat or drink, and she had to wait with her? Did the three princes want to fix her? However, thinking that the third prince had saved her life today, she didn't resent him so much, and besides, it was probably safer to follow the third prince than to stay alone, right?

The palace is a place where people eat people and don't spit out bones, she really believes it!

After Xiu Ya went out, Bian Xin closed his eyes and pulled the quilt, feeling so tired.

She slept for more than a dozen hours in one go. When she woke up the next morning, her mouth was no longer so numb and painful, she opened the gauze and looked in the mirror, the wound had been half swollen, but the bruises and scars were still obvious.

It didn't take long for Xiu Ya to come in with a big bowl and say, "Although you can't eat, it's still okay to drink something, be careful, don't open your mouth too much, and don't use too much force, so as to save the wound from cracking." ”

There was gruel in the bowl, and there was a straw inserted into it, and it was hard to take the straw into his mouth and suck the gruel with the strength of his throat.

After she finished drinking, Xiu Ya resumed her work face and said, "Clean up, the palace is ready to start the banquet, and you can go with you." It's a beard, you put it on, don't let people see your wounds. ”

Bian Xin nodded, dressed up, and followed him out.

When the third prince saw her, he didn't have any expression, but just said to Xiu Ya: "You understand the rules that should be there, right?"

Xiu Ya arched his hand: "Understood!"

Bian Xin followed them to the majestic and huge Chaoyang Hall, which was already full of friends, and its gorgeous pomp was definitely no less than CCTV's Spring Festival Gala performance, however, she didn't feel anything about it anymore, yesterday's events made her understand that behind these dazzling halos, there was an endless abyss and darkness, and she must not be blinded by the light on the surface!

After greeting relatives, friends and colleagues, the third prince sat down in the area closest to the dragon chair, Xiu Ya stood behind him against the wall, his waist was like a benchmark, his eyes did not squint, his expression was strict, like a statue, there was no usual frivolity and leisure, Bian Xin stood beside him, and the same.

The seats in the hall are obviously all arranged, and everyone has their own place, and no one can be missing, and no one can be wrong.

Under the bangs, Bian Xin's eyes silently looked at those people with smiles, and felt that those people were all the embodiment of ghosts.

Suddenly, in the gorgeous flow of people, a familiar figure came into her eyes, making her heart tremble: Dongfang Lingluo?

I haven't seen him for a while, and he still stands out among the royal relatives and officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and his clothes are not the most glamorous, but he is the most tasteful. When he walked in, he was followed by a lot of people, a group of people talking and laughing, and he was obviously very noticed and valued.

His position, in the middle of the front, is only lower than the imperial relatives, which shows the dignity of his status.

Bian Xin secretly smiled bitterly, isn't this a matter of course? Thinking of his title, wealth, and fame, of course, it is enough to have such glory! But it was this man who looked so dazzling to send her here and let her suffer this kind of pain for nothing!

Her mouth was throbbing faintly, her heart was throbbing faintly, and she remembered the shame she had received yesterday, and the resentment against this man welled up in her heart.

So, with a bit of hatred and resentment, she stared at this man secretly, did he know that his actions that he thought were not worth mentioning would kill people?

Dongfang Lingluo sat down, his eyes began to wander in all directions, and when he exchanged his eyes with the three princes, he raised his cup slightly to greet him, and the three princes also smiled and raised his glass in response.

Then, his gaze moved away and fell on Xiu Ya behind the third prince, and then on Bian Xin's face, slightly stunned.
