"Your Majesty, you dare to touch, what else do you dare." Xie Zhengyi was hit with a crutch and didn't say a word. It doesn't mean that the crutch was useless. On the contrary, the old old lady used all her strength, so After using the crutches, the old lady was out of breath, and even her body swayed a little because of the excessive force.
The old lady's words directly made the courtyard quieter, and the servants on the side almost stopped breathing.
Xie Zhengyi knelt on the cobblestone ground and stretched out his hand to stabilize the old lady's body. For the first time, his deep black eyes showed his true emotions in front of people other than Bai Chen.
He looked at the old lady and said every word very seriously and firmly: "I like him."
The simple four words suddenly made the old lady violent again, raised the crutch and hit Xie Zhengyi heavily again.
"I like him." Xie Zhengyi said again.
"That's what I taught you?" The old lady looked at Xie Zhengyi when he spoke of the other party with a firmness in his eyes, and his eyes were almost red, "He is the emperor, with a body of ten thousand gold, and you are both males. of!"
"I like him." The same firm words sounded again.
"You like it, you like it, is your liking worthy of the ancestors of the Xie family?" The old lady roared, "I shouldn't have supported you to seize power at the beginning, but now the power is great, look at what you have done. What absurdity?"
Xie Zhengyi pursed his lips and looked at the old lady stubbornly.
"Zheng Yi, darling, listen to Master Tai, don't have anything to do with the emperor anymore, even if you have more power now, he is the king after all, you are the minister after all, you can't be together, you are against the harmony of yin and yang. ."
"Master Tai, I like him and want to be with him." Xie Zhengyi said that even in the face of his dearest and most respected master Tai, Xie Zhengyi did not intend to compromise on this matter.
"How did you promise me in the first place, ah?" The old lady Fu heard Xie Zhengyi's words, and the breath in his chest suddenly burned vigorously, "How did you kneel in front of the ancestors of the Xie family and promise me to promise you? When the next generation of Mingjun is cultivated, you will restore your identity, marry a wife and have children, and pass on the Xie family to the Xie family. Zhengyi, you are the only one left in the Xie family. The Xie family is broken."
Xie Zhengyi was silent, his black eyes were still as firm as ever.
"You, you are going to mad at me!" The old lady Fu red eyes, trembling hands, pointed at Xie Zhengyi, "You are going to be written down into the history books for thousands of years, what do you want the world to think of you? You? Let me have the face to see your parents and your grandfather in a hundred years!"
"It's Zhengyi that I'm sorry for my parents, I'm sorry for my grandpa, I'm sorry for the Xie family, I'm sorry for the master, Zhengyi will bear all the guilt." Xie Zhengyi bent down and kowtowed three times on the ground.
He will take on everything, even if it will be doomed, even if the world can't tolerate it, he will be with his baby, and no one can stop him.
"You, you!!!" The old lady Fu stood on crutches and gasped violently, obviously being overwhelmed by Xie Zhengyi's stubbornness.
After a short while, the old lady Fu said: "Then have you ever thought about whether the emperor would like it or not!"
If this road doesn't work, go another way.
"He is willing." Xie Zhengyi said tenderly, and a smile slowly appeared on his expressionless face, which softened his whole person.
The old lady's heart sank again and again, he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and yelled at Xie Zhengyi: "No shit!"
"Your Majesty is afraid of you, and is trying to compromise, do you think?"
"You took the emperor's power, made the emperor empty, and made the emperor a decoration. Do you think the emperor will still like you as much as you? Don't forget, the emperor yelled at you a month ago, and I can't wait to kill you. Killed, I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood, wish I could smash your bones to ashes, do you think the emperor will like you?"
"The emperor is forced to play with you! Zhengyi, please wake up, when you pull the emperor down from the pinnacle of power, there is no possibility for you! The arrogance of the royal family does not allow the emperor to lie in your arms!"
"In their opinion, you are trampling on the dignity of the royal family and provoking their majesty. Even if you help the next generation of Mingjun to ascend to the throne in the future, even if you have the ability to follow the dragon, once you lose power, the royal family will not allow you to survive here. There is no room for the current emperor to survive in the world, and the two of you are proof of the royal shame."
"Zheng Yi, it's too late to stop now, don't you love him? Then you need to think more about him?"
"Master, it's too late." Xie Zhengyi said, "The moment I like him, I won't let go, Master, you know my temperament, and I'm pretty sure he's not playing with me, he Like me, we both love each other deeply."
"Magic barrier, devil barrier!"
"Moreover, the power is in my hands now, as long as I don't let go, even the next emperor will not be able to do anything to me. What's more, if you want me to support him, you must be obedient, disobedient, and want to rebel. Yes, then I'll change another one, the royal family does not only have one bloodline, there are many who want to be emperors!" Xie Zhengyi's eyes flashed fiercely.
Seeing that it doesn't make sense, the old lady Fu exclaimed bitterly, "Are you capable now? Then have you considered the Xie family's century-old reputation? The Xie family has been loyal and loyal for a hundred years. When you come to your place, you will make the Xie family really bear the traitor. Do you really want to cut off the Xie family's descendants? I'll kill you!"
Xie Zhengyi pursed his lips and said after a while: "Xie family, I will rehabilitate, but that's all!"
The old lady saw that the child he taught was so stubborn and rebellious, his breathing became rapid, and his head was buzzing with anger.
"Master, I have made up my mind and will not change it." Xie Zhengyi said word by word, "I will be with him, no matter what happens!"
Hearing this, the old lady took two steps back. He knew that at this point, he still couldn't change Xie Zhengyi's thoughts. Then there was no way to do it. The child he taught by himself always had the right idea.
Once you make up your mind, even 800 horses won't be able to pull it back.
The old lady closed her eyes, her heart was heavy and sad.
It was clearly the scorching sun, but it gave people a deadly silence.
After a long while, the old lady opened her eyes and turned to look at the old housekeeper beside her, "Old Chen, go and invite the family law out."
"Master!" The butler was shocked.
"Go." The old lady Fu shouted angrily.
The old butler glanced at the old lady, and then at Xie Zhengyi, who was kneeling on the ground motionless, with a straight posture, sighed silently in his heart, and turned to leave.
Not long after, the old housekeeper came back with a cane whip the thickness of a baby's arm in both hands, and stood silently in front of the old lady.
The old man reached out and took the rattan whip, looked at Xie Zhengyi, "I'll ask you one last time, will you let go?"
Xie Zhengyi stood up straight, his eyes were firm, and he was silent.
"Crack!" A heavy whip hit Xie Zhengyi's back.
"Don't let go!"
Xie Zhengyi remained silent, even if such a thick whip hit him, his expression still did not change.
"crack" "crack" "crack"
In the quiet courtyard, there was only the sound of whips hitting the meat, which made people feel scared and couldn't bear to watch it again.
And the person who was beaten didn't say a word from beginning to end, not even a frown.
Soon, the clothes were torn apart. From the cracked clothes, one after another whip marks were printed on the bronze-colored skin in a crisscross pattern, and bright red blood seeped out from the whip marks. The robe absorbs, making the originally black clothes darker.
——
Inside the palace.
Bai Chen, who was coaxed to sleep by Xie Zhengyi, suddenly woke up from his dream. He clutched his chest, frowned deeply, and his face was pale.
The system that was still investigating ghosts outside and collecting information felt that Bai Chen's mood was different, and immediately returned to Bai Chen's body.
The system looked at Bai Chen's pale face and was extremely worried: [Little master, what's wrong? Have a nightmare? 】
Bai Chen gasped and shook his head, [Suddenly it is very uncomfortable and painful here. 】
The system looked at Bai Chen's chest, and his heart skipped a beat, afraid that Bai Chen would suddenly remember something.
Bai Chen put his hands on his chest and closed his eyes. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes: [System, you can help me find what happened to Xie Zhengyi, okay? 】
Could it be that something happened to Xie Zhengyi? Sensed by the little master
This will not work!
Now the little master's godhead has not recovered, and the seal has become weak because of the damage to the godhead, and can't stand any stimulation.
The system quickly appeased Bai Chen and coaxed: [Little master, don't think too much, Xie Zhengyi is surrounded by people, and each and every one of them is strong in martial arts, nothing will happen, little master, don't think too much, you are just having a nightmare. 】
Bai Chen: [No, no. 】
Bai Chen shook his head, lifted the quilt and stepped on the ground with bare feet. He was very flustered. He couldn't remember Xie Zhengyi's usual advice to him to remember to put on shoes when he got out of bed, so he rushed down in such a hurry. The bed, I'm going to rush outside the Taiji Hall, [I'm going to have a look. 】
The system was startled, and quickly stopped Bai Chen. According to its experience, judging from the little master's concern for Xie Zhengyi and the bond between the two of them, this feeling is almost nine out of ten, but because it is correct, It can't let the little master go. If the little master sees a bad scene and stimulates the seal, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The system is running fast: [Little master, darling, I'll go take a look right now, I'm fast, I'll be back soon, little master waits for me here obediently, and waits for me to bring back the news, okay? 】
Bai Chen still wanted to go out.
System: [Little master is obedient, what if you go out here and Xie Zhengyi can't find you when he comes back? 】
Hearing this, Bai Chen hesitated.
The system took the opportunity to say: [Little master, I will be very fast, you are obedient and wait here, I will come back when I go. 】
After all, the system flew out.
Bai Chen stood there, biting his lip.
Bi Luo and others who were guarding outside heard the movement inside and ran in quickly.
Bai Chen didn't want to talk, he just waved his hand to let Bi Luo and the others go down.
Bi Luo stood in the same place with some embarrassment, hesitating and did not dare to step back. Lord Chisui told her to take good care of the emperor, but at the moment the emperor's face was pale, obviously something was wrong, how could she dare to step back, helpless, Bi Luo could only kneel On the ground, never quit.
Bai Chen will be in a mess, where is Bi Luo in charge, he can only let Bi Luo kneel.
Fortunately, the system came back quickly.
