Chapter 845

Although they were acting on the Empress Dowager's orders, if they really killed Xiao Si and the emperor found out when he returned, the Empress Dowager was his mother and he wouldn't do anything to her, but they wouldn't be able to escape.

If the emperor was angered, having their heads removed from their necks would be a light punishment, but they were afraid that their families would be implicated as well.

The guards raised their sticks, but they didn't dare hit them.

When Empress Dowager Zhou saw this, she was filled with rage as she forcefully slapped the table.

"Dog servant, your mouth is so crafty. The good emperor has been ruined by a servant like you. If it wasn't for you, the emperor wouldn't be like this today! Heavily beat this dog servant to death for this widow. When the emperor comes back, just wait to collect his corpse. This kind of useless servant, he can't do anything in this world, he will only drag the emperor down! Men, shut his mouth for this Ai Jia first, lest he spout nonsense again! What are you doing? You don't even listen to this widow's words? Why aren't you doing it! "

Xiao Si secretly complained, knowing that Empress Dowager Zhou was taking her anger out on him. He had been beaten unjustly, he could only hope that when the emperor came back, he would still have a breath left to see the emperor one last time.

The guards saw Empress Dowager Zhou give a death order and helplessly found a rag to cover Xiao Si's mouth. Then they raised their sticks high up and hit Xiao Si's butt, creating a pa, pa sound.

"One, one, ten ….." They counted as they hit him.

Empress Dowager Zhou angrily said, "What are you counting for, beat him to death!"

Su Jin wanted to advise her, but she didn't dare advise her. She secretly gave the guards a look, telling them to be lenient and not beat Xiao Si to death.

She knew that Xiao Si's life and death were in the hands of these guards. The old people in the palace all knew that when these sticks were hit, it was like thunder and it was like a small rain. It looked like it was being hit, but the criminal would only suffer some flesh wounds and wouldn't suffer any broken bones or tendons.

The most terrifying thing was the stun stick. It didn't make a sound, but the stick pierced into the flesh. With just a few hits, it could break bones and make a person vomit blood before dying.

Actually even if she didn't give the signal, the guards would still have this idea. So although they hit him several dozen times, quickly and quickly, causing Xiao Si's butt to bleed, he wasn't heavily injured.

Only Su Jin knew the trick to using the stick. Empress Dowager Zhou had been in the palace for several decades, so how could she not know?

She saw that although Xiao Si's butt was red after several dozen hits, he was still full, so she became even more angry.

"You are all outwardly obeying, do you think this widow can't see? If this dog servant can still breathe within ten strikes of the rod, then you don't need to work in this palace anymore. "

When the guards heard this, how could they dare show any mercy.

Although Xiao Si's mouth was gagged, he still let out a pitiful howl from the pain.

"Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, please don't ….." Su Jin's face turned white from fear. She quickly kneeled down on the ground and begged for mercy for Xiao Si.

"Su Jin, if you say one more word for this dog servant, you will be punished with him. Don't blame this widow for not considering our relationship." Empress Dowager Zhou glared at her.

Su Jin bit her lips, feeling anxious and irritated. She knew that Empress Dowager Zhou was venting her anger on Xiao Si, but what crime did Xiao Si have to suffer for the emperor?
