Chapter 844

Zhui Feng had been scolded and he was filled with anger. He glared at Xiao Si's back and prepared to ignore him.

"This brat's mouth is this bad, let him be beaten to death by the Empress Dowager."

He gave a snort and found a hidden place to hide. He was prepared to wait for doctor Zhang to finish treating the Empress Dowager before escorting doctor Zhang away.

But after calming down and thinking about it, Xiao Si's scolding of him wasn't without reason.

This brat Xiao Si had a lot of thoughts and ideas. Sometimes when the emperor gave him a task that he couldn't understand, it was Xiao Si who gave him pointers that allowed him to follow the emperor's wishes.

If there was someone who understood the emperor the most, it would be Xiao Si!

If Xiao Si was really beaten to death by the Empress Dowager, the emperor's heart would ache a lot! Even if the emperor didn't feel heartache, Zhui Feng couldn't bear to do this.

After all, Xiao Si had helped him quite a bit.

Forget it, he would go find the emperor and hope that the emperor would forgive him for Xiao Si's sake.

Zhui Feng's figure swayed and he had already silently disappeared from the Peaceful Life Palace.

"Xiao Si, if you don't want to suffer, then tell the truth to this widow. Where is the emperor!"

In the Peaceful Life Palace, Empress Dowager Zhou sat in the seat of honor, staring at Xiao Si with a sharp gaze.

Xiao Si couldn't straighten his back as he knelt on the ground. He didn't dare raise his head and just kept kowtowing.

"Empress Dowager, this servant really doesn't know the emperor's whereabouts. Even if this servant was as bold as the heavens, I wouldn't dare lie to the Empress Dowager." He knew that a disaster was about to befall him today. The Empress Dowager was truly angry, and his little life would probably be lost in this Peaceful Life Palace.

He looked around and saw several guards holding sticks that were thicker than an arm. The sticks were painted red and this was the largest punishment stick in the palace. As long as one was hit, they would either die or be crippled.

Xiao Si's heart was filled with tears. Emperor, oh emperor, it's fine if you leave, but take this servant with you. The Empress Dowager wants to beat this servant to death and when you return to the palace, you won't be able to see this Xiao Si again.

"Very good, the dog slave refuses to speak. Guards, come and punish him!" Empress Dowager Zhou's expression was calm, but she did not allow anyone to say anything. She even ignored Su Jin who wanted to plead for Xiao Si.

She paused for a moment before continuing, "If he doesn't speak, then beat him until he does. If he doesn't speak, then beat him to death!"

A few guards complied and dragged over a stool. They tied Xiao Si onto it and raised the punishment stick.

Xiao Si was scared out of his wits and begged repeatedly.

"Empress Dowager, please spare my life. This servant really doesn't know the whereabouts of the emperor! Empress Dowager, for the sake of this servant serving His Majesty for so many years, even if I don't have any meritorious service, I still have hard work ah, please be lenient! This servant's life is cheap, it doesn't matter if you kill this servant, but if the Emperor comes back and doesn't see this servant, the Emperor will definitely be sad. You are the Emperor's mother, are you willing to let the Emperor be sad? "

Although he was extremely afraid, he still tried his best to convince Empress Dowager Zhou. His mind was sharp and his mouth was sharp. These words were reasonable and it made Empress Dowager Zhou hesitate a bit.

The guards responsible for the punishment looked at each other and felt that they couldn't do it.
