Even if he did not die from the flogging, he would be severely injured.
"When did Wang say that?" Chu Xuanchen asked coldly.
Li Xiucai thought about it and realized that it was true. He did not hear the Prince say that.
It was Nangong Rou who said that the Prince would forgive him as long as he admitted his mistake.
So it was Nangong Rou who said that.
He hurriedly said: "Although Wangye didn't say it, but this little cousin said it. Wangye dotes on my cousin so much. I beg Wangye to give this little one another chance for my cousin's sake. Can you forgive this little one?"
Chu Xuanchen glanced at Li Xiucai coldly and said in an even colder voice, "Guards, take him away and flog him 60 times."
"Your Highness, why are you …"
Before Li Xiucai could finish his sentence, Chu Xuanchen added, "70 flogs."
"Ah …" Li Xiucai realized that if he pleaded for mercy on his behalf, he would be flogged 10 times more.
He was so scared that his whole body trembled. His eyes and tongue turned out, and he even wet his pants.
Soon, Li Xiucai was dragged away by the guards like a piece of rotten meat.
-
Nangong Rou's heart thumped like a drum when she saw what happened to Wet Nurse Zhang and her cousin.
Fortunately, this was her poor distant cousin who was not close to her family. So what if he died because of his stupidity?
But her heart was in pain.
She thought that Chu Xuanchen would spare Li Xiucai for her sake.
But she did not expect that he would not give her any face at all and punish Li Xiucai severely.
mark(“zhong“);
Only now did she realize that the Prince's love had its own weight as well.
This could only mean that she did not hold a high place in his heart. Otherwise, he would not have treated her this way.
After Chu Xuanchen dealt with Li Xiucai, he looked at Dan 'er with a sinister look. "How dare you, little maid. Guards …"
After he finished speaking, he faintly glanced at Nangong Rou.
Nangong Rou trembled under his gaze. Did the Prince suspect that she was the one who ordered Dan 'er to do this?
Otherwise, a mere servant girl like Dan 'er wouldn't have the guts to do something like this.
She had to frame Li Xiucai and make the Prince believe that Dan 'er was innocent. Only then would she be free of suspicion.
"Your Highness!" Nangong Rou suddenly dropped to her knees in front of Chu Xuanchen. "Your Highness, I know that Dan 'er is wrong. She is like a sister to me. I guess she was seduced by Li Xiucai.. She was deceived by Li Xiucai for love, so she did something wrong. I beg you, Your Highness, for my sake, not punish Dan' er and spare Dan....................... I. This concubine swears that I will properly educate her and have her turn over a new leaf. I will have her use her entire life to make up for her mistakes. . Also, I'm willing to give all of my dowry to the public to atone for Dan 'er's sins. "
Chu Xuanchen looked deeply at Nangong Rou but did not say a word.
Nangong Rou, on the other hand, was kneeling in front of him. She pleaded for Dan 'er for two reasons. First, she wanted to protect Dan' er because only Dan 'er knew her secret. If she did not protect Dan' er, she was afraid that Dan 'er would betray her because she could not bear the punishment.
Secondly, she wanted to test Chu Xuanchen and see if he still cared about her.
If he still cared about her, he would definitely punish Dan 'er lightly for her sake.
If he did not care about her, he would definitely punish Dan 'er severely.
She was gambling. She was gambling on Chu Xuanchen's feelings for her. She was gambling on whether he was sincere or not.
"Rou 'er, get up first." Chu Xuanchen looked at Nangong Rou. His eyes were filled with a gentleness that had never been seen before.
"No, if your highness does not agree, then even if this concubine kneels to death, this concubine will not get up." Nangong Rou's attitude was very firm. There were still tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, making her look very pitiful.
"Rou 'er, why do you have to do this? She is only a servant. "Chu Xuanchen reminded Nangong Rou.
Nangong Rou looked at him with teary eyes, "When I was at my saddest, it was Dan 'er who accompanied me. When I was alone in an empty room, it was Dan' er who comforted me. When I was sick, it was also Dan 'er who took care of me. Although she and I are not sisters, we are closer than sisters. I really don't want to see her die at such a young age. I beg your highness to give her another chance. If your highness does not agree, then I can only let your highness down. "
