"Bam!"
"Bam!"
"…"
"…"
The staff kept hitting him again and again. If he was weak, he would lose his life.
Lian Fu's pair of jade-like eyes were bulging. His eyeballs were filled with red veins. The veins on his forehead were pulsating. The fingers holding the bench were worn out to the point that traces of blood seeped out.
Zhou Chengdi sat in the hall and listened to the sounds coming from the staff, but he couldn't hear any sound from the young man. A meaningful smile appeared on his face as he said, "He's quite strong."
"Stop!" He only heard Feng Degui's shrill voice, and then a sentence came from outside the hall. "Your majesty, the thirty boards have already been completed."
"Come in." He wanted to see how long this young master of the Lian family would be able to hold on for.
The couplet on the bench, after thirty strokes, had lost all color in his face. He was as pale as paper, soaked with blood and sweat. His beautiful face was beaded with sweat, his jade-like hair stuck to his face, and his lips quivered uncontrollably.
Gritting his teeth, he moved down from the bench and walked forward, enduring the pain.
However, because his body hadn't gotten used to the pain yet, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
He held on to the bench for a moment, then he moved his body and walked step by step into the Hall of Rongyuan. With every step he took, cold sweat dripped down his back.
He had to save Lian Ruyue, he couldn't let her be burned to death, he couldn't let her suffer even a little bit of damage.
When he entered the hall, he clenched his teeth, knelt on one knee, and said, "Your majesty, we've finished with the thirty boards."
Seeing how strong Lian Lian Fang was, a trace of surprise flashed through Zhou Chengdi's eyes. It was quite rare to see a descendant from such a noble family.
He looked at the person below him with a serious expression, but did not have the intention of waking him up. He said, "Eleven said he wanted to tell me a secret. Is that yours?"
Lian Meng replied, "Yes." His eyes were calm.
"Why do you want me to listen to your secret?" Zhou Chengdi asked.
"I want to use this secret to exchange for my sister's life." He raised his head and looked at the emperor in front of him. His clear eyes were pure and flawless, like the stars or the sea. They possessed an indescribable power.
Zhou Cheng Di's heart skipped a beat. He looked more closely at the technique, but his voice was even colder. "Why should I listen to your secret?"
"Your majesty understands when you hear it." Zhang Xuan said.
Zhou Cheng Di stared at the youth in front of him for a long time. Finally, he said, "Tell me, if your secret is unable to move me, then I'll have you walk out of here and fight another thirty heads against another thirty."
"..." royal father! " Just as he was about to open his mouth and speak, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall. The Ninth Prince, Feng Yunzheng, walked in, wearing a silver brocade robe with golden embroidery and a long, white muslin robe with golden fringes. He looked at the combos kneeling on the ground, and his gaze seemed to inadvertently drift across his back.
"Zheng'er? Why have you come here now? " Zhou Chengdi asked, puzzled, when he saw Feng Yunzheng enter without prior notice.
"Royal father, if this son has a way to report about the Jiangnan floods and the disaster, this son will ponder for three days and three nights." Royal father, this son has a way to report about the disaster in Jiangnan, this son has thought for three days and finally thought of a way. Feng Yunzheng knelt on the ground and said.
"Very good! "Zheng'er, quickly get up and sit down." Right now, what worried Zhou Chengdi the most was the incident in Jiangnan. The day before yesterday, there had been another outbreak of plague, so it was urgent to resolve this matter.
"Yes sir!" Feng Yunzheng stood up and turned around to see the incantation, then paused for a moment.
Zhou Cheng Emperor's face darkened as he said to Lian Meng, "Today I beat you thirty times just because you ignored my rules and barged into the Hall of Rongyuan. I will let this go and not pursue this matter any further. I have no interest in listening to your secret."
"But …"
"Consecutive Techniques!" Feng Yunzheng turned around and blocked Zhou Cheng Di's line of sight. He pressed his hand onto the hand formed a seal with his hand and slightly shook his head. He quickly wrote the two words "quickly go" on his hand.
"…" Lian Fu raised his eyes to look at Feng Yunzheng. Feng Yunzheng looked at him with slightly narrowed eyes that conveyed the message. Then, he released his hand and walked to the rosewood chair at the side.
"Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now." As he spoke, he raised his head and turned around, dragging his aching body as he walked step by step. With each step he took, his body would hurt so much that he reached the entrance of the hall.
He saw that Emperor Zhou Cheng was listening attentively to the ninth prince's plan to deal with the disaster. He was frowning at times and feeling elated at times.
He turned around with a bitter smile on his face.
This was not his world.
"Young Master Lian, Princess Eleven just instructed this old servant to take good care of you. This old servant will send two people to escort you out of the palace." At this time, Eunuch Feng Degui walked over and bowed as he spoke. He was also secretly surprised; this young master Lian, who looked like a jade-faced youth, was actually so tough and unyielding.
"How is the princess? Does the empress have a punishment? " When Lian Fang recalled that Princess Eleven was dragged away by the empress, the empress's face darkened.
"This... This old servant isn't sure, but the empress is Princess Eleven's own mother, so it's only a small punishment, so Young Master doesn't have to worry too much. "
"Yes." Lian Fu thought, "After what happened to my sister, I should apologize to her properly. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been scolded by the Emperor and Queen at the same time."
"Young Master Lian …" After all, it was entrusted to her by Princess Eleven.
"Thank you." He had just been beaten thirty times, and if he relied on his own strength to leave the palace, his body would probably be crippled. He still had to think of a way to save his sister, and it was impossible for his body to be in a bad state, so he had Feng De Gui call two young eunuchs to help him out of the palace.
Feng Degui looked at his back and sighed, shaking his head.
With the help of the eunuch, Lian Fen began to feel more comfortable. After some effort, he saw a person walking towards him with the mama's hand, followed by the palace maid and the eunuch. She was dressed in a golden robe with a peony collar, and was wearing a red phoenix dress.
Lian Fu stopped in his tracks. His gaze couldn't help but fall on this person's body as he secretly clenched his fists.
Xu Xianyang inadvertently raised her eyes and saw the eunuchs' clothing covering her hand. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, her feet slanted, and her hands tightly gripped the hand of Gong mama who was holding her!
