Wen Han suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around under the sunlight. Looking at the empty flower path, his cold and indifferent eyes flashed with a trace of pain.

This was a palace, not a forest that belonged to them …

Ling Qing was pressed down to the ground with two whip marks on his body.

However, the beautiful women kneeling beside her had even more whip marks on them.

Zhou Fangyi lay in front of the empress dowager's feet and pleaded, "Empress Dowager, if this is the empress dowager chosen by the king, you can't hit her … "If you want to be punished, chenqie is willing to take her place …"

Ling Tian Qing could not help but sigh. Look at her, she was such a beauty who specializes in palace fights.

As soon as she was captured, the empress dowager ordered someone to whip her. After two lashes, Zhou Fangyi rushed forward to help her block the attack.

What a clever woman.

Regardless of whether Ling Tian Qing could become the queen or not, Zhou Fangyi's way of doing things had greatly increased her Charm. She would also increase their relationship, killing many birds with one stone.

"Sister Fang Yi …"

"Esteemed empress dowager, please don't punish …"

As soon as Zhou Fangyi kneeled down, all the beauties fell to her knees.

"What's going on?" The exceptionally pleasant voice of a man carried with it a dignified air.

Ling Xiang saw a young girl in a light green dress, kneeling in front of the noble empress dowager, walking over unhurriedly.

Actually, this girl took the initiative to provoke the empress dowager. This wasn't a bad thing …

It was a very natural excuse to allow Ling Xuanxin to meet. They had not had the awkward relationship of meeting each other for the past half year.

Awkward...

Yes, Ling Zui could not clearly express the feeling in his heart.

Although he was busy dealing with the "accident" during the hunt and the matters after it, when Ling Zhi was free, he could not help but think about Ling Tianqing who had already returned.

He … He was willing to improve their relationship.

No matter what, to be able to "meet" the Heaven's Mandate's daughter once again, Ling Xiang felt a different sort of feeling from before.

He would always remember how the harem seemed to have sucked the last of Ling Tian Qing's life away after he disappeared.

"Your highness, I bow to you. Long live, long live, long live, long live the King!" When the group of beauties heard the king's voice, they immediately kneeled and turned around, prostrating themselves on the ground.

Only Ling Tian Qing did not move.

As for Zhou Fangyi, she also turned around and knelt down.

Her clothes had been whipped beautifully. Under her torn clothes, large patches of snow-white skin were exposed in the air. Her graceful body was faintly discernible, making a man's blood boil just by looking at her.

It was just like how she was sure that the king would come over.

"Imperial Mother is so elegant today." Ling Xi glanced at Ling Qing gently, and then said to the sullen empress dowager.

Although Zhou Fangyi was kneeling, she could feel that his gaze was not fixated on her, so she could not help but bite her lips.

"Originally, I wanted to share the bliss with the beauties, but who would've thought that my interest would be ruined by a single person." The empress dowager gave a cold snort.

"Imperial Mother, don't be angry." Ling Xin turned around and stood by the empress dowager's side. His eyes were bright and clear, his face unconcerned as he stared at the young girl on the ground. He asked lightly, "Who allowed you to come out?"

"The empress dowager invited her." Hearing Ling Xi's question, Ling Tian Qing turned his head and looked uncomfortably at Mo Lian.

Ling Tian Qing was sure that the empress dowager was in menopause, otherwise why would she whip her when they caught her?

She was not afraid of climacteric women, and the only person she feared in this world was Ling Zui.

Furthermore, before entering the palace, he had been ordered by Ling Xuanxuan not to say another word about his origins to any outsider, or else his tongue would have been cut off …

Although it was a threat, Ling Qing was still afraid.

"How dare you!" "You mean, it was the Empress Dowager, wasn't it?" Ling Jin asked in a cold voice.

"I don't dare." Ling Tian Qing said he did not dare to do so, but his face showed that he was unwilling to accept it.

"You still dare to be stubborn!" "I punish you to kneel and think about your wrongs before. When did you know your wrongs? You have to beg the empress dowager for forgiveness before you can go back."

"Kneeling?" Ling Tianqing turned around and looked at Ling Lingcun in disbelief.

It was fine for this bastard to be punished to kneel, but he actually wanted to kneel in front of all these beauties! She had no face at all!

He really shouldn't have come back!

He would torture her as soon as he came back.

Originally, when she returned to the palace, she had heard Xun Quan's little mouth say that the king was not cold, but often came to the Azure Sky Palace to be dazed for an entire night. She was slightly moved, but it seemed that Tyrant had come here because he liked the scent of the Tian Qing Hua.

Tianqing Hua calming mind, can eliminate manic depression, tyrant should smell more.

"Hurry up and kneel." Ling Lingzhi shouted in a deep voice.

"Why did you punish me?" Ling Tian Qing stood up abruptly, holding back the pain from the whip, and questioned him.

"You disturbed the empress dowager's popular banquet, shouldn't you receive punishment?" Ling Xuejian's black eyes flashed with a little green figure.

This young girl was sometimes so smart that it gave people a headache, and sometimes she was also so foolish that she could die at any time.

Did she want to wait for the Empress to continue punishing her?

At that time, it would not be as simple as punishing someone to kneel.

The empress dowager had already taken out the Nine Dragons Whip. This was a weapon passed down through the generations to punish hundreds of officials.

Furthermore, Ling Lingzhi had never interfered much in the matters of the harem.

If he tried to protect her today, it would not be good.

Now she was ordered to kneel, symbolically kneel for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and then beg the empress dowager for forgiveness, so she wouldn't have to suffer.

And then he could hit a stick and give a sweet date...

Who said that the path of marriage lay in flirting …

(Who …) A flirtatious beating, it's not a real beating …)

All in all, Ling Xuanxin felt that she was being too friendly with her the moment she returned, and there was always something about her … Sorry, just like how he looked forward to her.

Whether they deserved to be punished or not, they had to be punished in order to prevent others from feeling indignant in their hearts.

"You're unfair!" However, Ling Tian Qing had been very stubborn today.

She was in a bad mood!

By the time she returned to the royal palace, she was already fuming from all the pent-up anger she had accumulated.

Why do you still want to be beaten and scolded?

Why the hell did she come back?

As Ling Tian thought of this, resentment surged in his heart. She was also born with a child, and had parents that doted on her. Why would she be bullied like this by someone else?

At the end of the day, if it wasn't for the coldness, if it wasn't for this tyrant's' killing order ', she wouldn't have come back to suffer!

All of a sudden, all the negative emotions appeared.

Especially when he thought of the "Absolute Killing Order", Ling Qing's eyes reddened.

He was so despotic... Kill him if he can't get it?

Hearing her say "Not fair," Ling Zhi's gaze became even darker, and the aura around his body became more and more solemn.

The surrounding beauties did not dare to breathe too loudly.

Even the Empress Dowager did not speak.

"Kneel." Ling Xuanxin said softly.

He did not understand how such a small punishment had provoked her again.

It's better than slapping to death with the Nine Dragons Whip, right?

Furthermore, what was with her rebutting gaze?

It made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he even wanted to get angry.

An enormous and terrifying pressure was swirling around Hundred Flowers Pavilion. Other than the empress dowager silently sipping her tea, all the other beauties had panicked expressions on their faces as they knelt on the ground, not daring to move. They could feel the king's anger.

"Break my legs so I can kneel for the rest of my life." Ling Qing smirked as she spoke in a very low voice.

If he killed her, the phoenix would stop running around.

Wasn't this the simple and crude method of dealing with a problem?

Ling Zui's expression turned even colder.

The entire Hundred Flowers Garden was like the center of a tornado, and the ground was soon filled with fragmented flowers.

"You …" Ling Jin saw that her eyes were red, as if she would cry at any moment, and even had to force out a smile at him. For some reason, he felt pain in his heart.

But soon after, he became even more furious.

He had only punished her for kneeling, but not only did she not appreciate his kindness, she had even exploded. What was this?

She had been missing for more than half a year. Not only did she grow taller, but her temper also grew along with it?!

Ling Jin resisted the urge to kick her into the ink pond, and said to the maid at the side coldly, "Bring her to the wall and think."

If Ling Tian Qing was normally obedient and obedient, and only focused on him, he could ignore the other beauties and the empress dowager's thoughts and protect her under his wings.

But right now, she was just a small animal that hadn't been able to smooth down her hair. Furthermore, she was still inexplicably angry at him. Ling Jin had been annoyed.

If he didn't let her suffer a little, she wouldn't know how important being gentle and obedient was to a woman. She also wouldn't know how precious receiving the favor of the Son of Heaven was.

The palace maid at the side immediately stepped forward and placed her hand on Ling Qing's shoulder.

Xu Qin was an elder palace maid by the empress dowager's side, one of the few palace maids that knew martial arts.

It was she and Kai Yun who had "invited" Ling Tian Qing down.

Kai Yun was still holding onto the Nine Dragons Whip, which had traces of blood on it.

It was from Zhou Fangyi.

When Ling Tianqing was being beaten, she had used true power. As a result, her clothes were not torn, but the bones inside almost shattered.

When he reached Zhou Fangyi, it was because he didn't really want to punish her. Therefore, when he fell down, he only had a bit of flesh left.

"Yes." Without a word of courtesy, Xu Qin forcefully brought Ling Tian Qing to the side of the Ink Lotus Lake. She exerted her strength and pushed the young girl down.

All of the palace maids attending the harem were gathered by the empress dowager's side. These people paid no attention to anything except the empress dowager and the king's orders.

In reality, the vast majority of palace maids did not place ordinary beauties in their eyes. Those who came out from the empress dowager's Serene Palace, whether they were maids sweeping the floor or serving close to her, had a higher status.

As for Ling Qing, his spine was about to break from the pressure, so after being pressed down by her, he could not take it anymore and could only kneel down.

Ling Tian Qing clenched his fists tightly, the pain coming from his wounds caused her to keep silent.

Forget it, she really wasn't suited for a harem fight.

He originally wanted to support those "disadvantaged groups", but he never thought that he would become a vulnerable group …

No, she was instead mocked and hated by the bunch of weak beauties.

Hearing the joyful laughter of the Hundred Flowers Garden, Ling Tian closed his eyes. With her here, no one would sincerely protect her.
