"Die'er, you still say good things for her? The fact that she dared to disobey the order today has a lot to do with your overindulgence!"
Baidie wanted to apologize for Tang Xinyi, but unexpectedly, she was also criticized by Bai Zhenshan. This made Bai Die a little stunned, and Tang Xinyi felt even more uncomfortable. A strong grievance overflowed from the bottom of her heart. It was out of control, and her eyes were immediately shrouded in a wet mist. .
"Father!"
Princess Baidie became more and more intolerable, but Bai Zhenshan's expression remained stern. He waved his hand and blocked Princess Baidie's words. He glared at Tang Xinyi and said sternly, "I ask you again, do you declare or not declare this edict?" ?”
Bai Zhenshan's aggressiveness made Tang Xinyi steel her mind. She knelt down on one knee, lowered her head, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, "Xinyi is so bold, I beg the emperor to take back my life!"
"What did you say!?" Tang Xinyi's words completely angered Bai Zhenshan. With a roar, Bai Zhenshan swept all the pen and ink on the memorial on the dragon case to the ground.
"Father, please calm down!" Seeing the murderous aura burst out from Bai Zhenshan's eyes, Baidie was startled and rushed forward in a hurry.
"That's unreasonable! It seems that no one takes me seriously in the past few years since I have been ill. Even a little girl like you wants to go against me! Someone is here!" Bai Zhenshan ignored Princess Baidie at all. To comfort him, he roared angrily.
Seeing that Bai Zhenshan was so angry, Bai Die was even more panicked. He hurriedly walked to Tang Xinyi and advised, "Xinyi, otherwise, just do what my father said."
Baidie's words made Tang Xinyi feel more and more disappointed. She originally thought that Baidie was on her side, but now it seems that she was completely wrong. After experiencing so many hardships, Baidie has not grown much. She is still a little girl who relies on her father and regards her father as God. She has no independent opinion.
Without saying anything more to Bai Die, Tang Xinyi just shook her head. She had already made up her mind. No matter what the outcome of the day was, she would not waver.
Several Fengxiang Guard soldiers, hearing the emperor's angry call, did not dare to neglect and rushed in hurriedly. But as soon as they entered, they were dumbfounded. The ground was in a mess, the emperor was furious, but their respected Commander Tang was kneeling on the ground, his face pale. Such a scene was definitely the first time in their minds.
"Go, drag Tang Xinyi out and kill her!"
"What!?"
"ah!?"
Before Bai Zhenshan could finish his words, Baidie and the Fengxiang Guardsmen exclaimed together. Especially those Fengxiang Guards soldiers, you looked at me, I looked at you, they were all dumbfounded. Isn't their Tang commander a popular figure in front of the princess and a loyal supporter of the royal family? How could he be dragged out and beheaded in the blink of an eye
Tang Xinyi's delicate body couldn't help but tremble a few times, her face turned a little whiter, and a few crystal clear tears passed through her long eyelashes and fell down her pink and flawless cheeks.
Is this the reward for her loyal efforts? Tang Xinyi's heart was not only cold, but also painful! The pain penetrates into the bones and marrow!
"Father, you can't! Xinyi is very loyal to our Bai family and has made countless contributions. It would be too unfair for you to kill her just because of this trivial matter today!"
Bai Die still has true feelings for Tang Xinyi. The two grew up and experienced many hardships together. Naturally, Bai Die cannot watch Tang Xinyi being executed.
"Loyalty? That was in the past! Her heart is no longer with you and my daughter. You are still helping her to speak, you are so stupid!" After saying that, Bai Zhenshan suddenly raised his head and glared at the Fengxiang Guards soldiers. , yelled sternly, "What are you doing standing there, why don't you drag her down with me!?"
"Please, Your Majesty, please calm down and spare Commander Tang's life!"
Every soldier of Fengxiang Guard has received favor and care from Tang Xinyi, and they all respect Tang Xinyi from the bottom of their hearts. If this were not the case, these Fengxiang Guards would have been defeated by Qiu Wanli's money offensive. Where would there still be the Royal Guards who unite as one and fight to the death to protect the Royal Family
At this time, Bai Zhenshan actually ordered them to kill Tang Xinyi with their own hands. Naturally, they couldn't accept it! Several Fengxiang Guard soldiers immediately knelt down and prayed to Bai Zhenshan in unison.
It would have been fine if the Fengxiang Guards didn't ask, but this request aroused the anger in Bai Zhenshan's heart. In his opinion, his dignity as an emperor was completely wiped out. That's all for Tang Xinyi. Now even these Fengxiang Guard soldiers dare to disobey his orders. Is that okay
"Shut up! Do you want to be like Tang Xinyi and disobey orders?"
Bai Zhenshan was aroused by the fury of thunder. Although several Fengxiang Guard soldiers were trembling with fear and sweating profusely, their original intention did not change, they just knelt lower.
Seeing that several Fengxiang guards still didn't move, Bai Zhenshan was so angry that he was shaking all over, and even his face turned green. He gritted his teeth and said, "Reverse, reverse, it's all reversed! Are you going to force me to go on a killing spree?"
He was so angry that he couldn't say a word smoothly, and Bai Zhenshan was choked until he coughed loudly. Baidie hurriedly stepped forward, and while holding Bai Zhenshan's chest, he persuaded: "Father, Fengxiang Guard was brought out by Xinyi. If you ask them to kill Xinyi, they will naturally not do it. You said If we want to go on a killing spree, is it possible to kill all the Feng Xiang Guards?"
Baidie's words have reached Bai Zhenshan's heart. The entire royal family relies on Fengxiang Guards to protect them. Killing them all is not possible. If things go wrong and Fengxiang Guards get into trouble, Bai Zhenshan's face will not change. nice.
In fact, Bai Zhenshan was also angry and a little confused. If he really wants to kill Tang Xinyi, I'm afraid it will cause a series of negative chain reactions, and it will definitely be very troublesome.
"So what if I kill them all? They dare to disobey my will, so what's the use of keeping them?" Although Bai Zhenshan still said this, his voice and tone were obviously much softer.
When Baidie heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Father, Xinyi has made countless contributions. You might as well spare her this time because of your past friendship."
"Die'er, if you protect her like this, something will happen sooner or later. Qiu Wanli and I will serve as a warning for you!" Bai Zhenshan pretended to sigh and said, "However, since you are begging so hard, then I will see For your sake, spare her life."
"Thank you, Father!" Baidie was overjoyed and hurriedly leaned towards Bai Zhenshan and said.
Bai Zhenshan snorted softly and said, "I haven't finished what I said yet. Don't be too busy thanking me! Tang Xinyi disobeyed the imperial edict and could be exempted from the death penalty, but he could not escape the crime of living! Beat a hundred military sticks and kill the commander of Fengxiang Guard. He will be kicked out of the palace and never hired!"
"Ah!?" When Bai Zhenshan said this, the joy on Bai Die's face immediately froze.
"This is all for your sake. If it were someone else, even if it were ten heads, I would chop them all off one by one!"
"Father..."
"Stop talking! I am the emperor. If I don't even have a little dignity and face, how can I lead the people of the world? Die'er, you can't help but think about it, right?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. Xinyi is willing to be punished!" Tang Xinyi opened her mouth and said, her voice full of desolation.
Although Bai Die's heart was full of unbearable, at this point, she couldn't speak anymore. He had no choice but to turn around and wink at the Fengxiang guards, saying, "In that case, you can take Xinyi down to be tortured."
"No need! Just torture here, I want to see it with my own eyes!"
How could Baidie's pettiness be hidden from Bai Zhenshan? If Tang Xinyi was really taken down, how could those Fengxiang Guard soldiers really torture her? If the time comes to go through the motions in a hurry, a hundred military sticks might not even be able to damage a single hair on Tang Xinyi's head.
"Father, Xinyi is a girl, how can she bear this hundred military sticks? Since you have eliminated Xinyi's official position, these hundred military sticks will be waived!" Since he couldn't hide it from Bai Zhenshan, Bai Die simply said said.
Bai Zhenshan snorted heavily and said, "Since she has the courage to disobey the imperial edict, she must be prepared to accept punishment! One hundred military sticks, not even one can be spared! She will be punished immediately!"
"Thank you princess for your kindness. I can still bear these hundred military sticks!" Tang Xinyi said softly to Baidie and lay on the ground with a calm expression.
Several Fengxiang guards were holding military sticks. You looked at me and I looked at you. No one could hit them with this first stick.
"No need to punish her yet? If she hesitates again, I will punish her with another hundred military sticks!"
Baidie glanced at Bai Zhenshan full of resentment, sighed, nodded slightly to the Fengxiang Guards soldiers, and uttered three words with great difficulty: "Torture!"
"Hit me! Hit me hard! If anyone dares to show favoritism and doesn't use force, I will punish him again!"
boom!
Under Bai Zhenshan's stern urging, the first stick landed heavily on Tang Xinyi's back, causing a muffled sound. Tang Xinyi's face was instantly flooded with a look of pain. But Tang Xinyi gritted her teeth and didn't even let out a moan.
The second stick, the third stick... fell immediately. With just ten sticks, blood marks appeared on Tang Xinyi's back, which was shocking.
Big drops of sweat gathered in a puddle on the ground in a short time.
Baidie couldn't bear to look any more and turned her head to the side. Her tears fell like broken beads. Although this stick hit Tang Xinyi's body, it also hit Baidie's heart.
"Commander, you... if you are in pain, just... just shout out." A Fengxiang Guard soldier said to Tang Xinyi with tears in his eyes.
Tang Xinyi did not speak, but shook her head slightly. A pair of eyes seemed to have lost focus, but sometimes they were frighteningly bright. No one knew what Tang Xinyi was thinking at this time.
In the blink of an eye, sixty military sticks had been struck. Tang Xinyi's back was already covered in blood, with almost no skin intact, and it was too miserable to look at. When Baidie looked at it, she felt as if her heart was clenched into a ball, the pain was so severe! (To be continued)
