The princess was sitting upright in the middle of the courtyard, her demeanor had never been like this before. Although she was usually very arrogant, the sun and moon would soon rise in her current state.

Chen Deng held the imperial edict and looked at Qin Xiaoliu sympathetically. The latter's heart tightened as he saw the courtyard full of guards holding sticks and a chuanshan placed in the middle of the courtyard. Seeing Nangong Miao's arrogant attitude, she wished she could kick her out of the yard.

For some reason, there was a trace of unease in his heart when he suddenly dropped the imperial edict. He forced Lai Fu to accompany her. Lai Fu held his hands together as he looked at the crowd of people around him.

"Prince Consort disobeys the laws of the land, loiters around the fence, befriends bandits, offends against his superiors, and, on account of his meritorious service to the country, punishes them lightly, and rewards them forty. To this — "Chen Deng looked at the still dazed Qin Xiaoliu," Prince Consort Ma, you shall accept this decree to thank your grace.

Qin Xiaozui quickly regained his senses and knelt down, "This subject thanks Master for his grace." Looking at the surprise that flashed across the princess' face, she thought to herself, 'Could it be that this little girl really doesn't know that her father wants to beat her husband?' At least she has some conscience, otherwise let's see how I'll punish her from now on. F * ck, this is the first time I've heard that a man has to guard his wife, why does my little sister Pi Chengtian miss Mo Qingfeng so much that I don't want to say that I've lost her. She cursed silently. The old emperor was getting more and more out of control, it would be strange if he didn't beat her to death. This old emperor doted on his daughter to a certain extent.

"Prince Consort, don't kneel." Chen Deng looked at the guards and said, "Execute the punishment!" Someone immediately wiped the stool clean and was about to pull the little hoodlum away. With a shake of his shoulders, the imperial bodyguard felt as if he had caught a loach, and all the strength in his hands had been stripped away. Laifu was still thinking: If this damned girl disobeys the decree, should I help her escape? F * ck my leg, I was implicated by her again. While he was cursing in his heart, Qin Xiaolian stood up and smiled: "General Manager, please wait a moment. Wait for Guanyu to go to the toilet before executing the punishment."

Seeing her shifty eyes, Chen Deng knew that she would not accept the punishment so easily. He pretended not to know as he nodded. "Prince Consort, please leave."

After she disappeared like a wisp of smoke, Nangong Miao could no longer sit still. He called Chen Deng over and said softly, "Head Steward Chen, isn't royal father's punishment too heavy?" Look at his physique. Would the forty planks beat him to death?

"Princess, don't worry. Your Majesty knows this very well."

Qin Xiao ran into the bedroom and started rummaging through the books. After a few gestures, he put the books down. Jiu Zhen ran over and handed her a cushion. She then whispered, "Master, quick, put it inside. How many tubes are needed?"

Qin Xiao laughed as he scratched her nose, "You still have a conscience."

"Your Majesty, you're right. How can you be so cruel to your own son-in-law? Isn't it obvious that the more involved others are in the matter between husband and wife, the more —"

An unexplainable thought suddenly flashed through Qin Xiao's mind as he reached out his hand to cover Jiu Zhen's mouth. How could he destroy the bridge while the old emperor was still using him? She slowly sat down, "befriending bandits" and "offending the". As she softly recited her so-called crime, she instantly realized what it meant.

Even though she had shone brilliantly in the last case, after making friends with the Dragon Sword Villa and Shi Tianlong, she had made it clear that Nangong Kaigran was well aware of all the underhanded methods. So it turned out that the bandit who was tying up with her wasn't talking about the Louvre or Bing Xin, but the power supporting her behind her back. So was he going to tell her to be careful?

It seemed like the old emperor was moved by her killing He Chengze. It seemed like the culprit was not saying that she had opened the princess' acupoints, but that she was afraid that one day she would be at a disadvantage against the imperial family. Was he going to give her a big warning today?

She let out a long sigh of relief, returned the item to Jiu Zhen, and softly said, "There's no need."

"Why not?" Lai Fu walked in happily. How many people were looking forward to him being beaten up! "Prince Consort Ma, aren't you afraid that your butt will blossom?" Even though he was worried, he still mocked her on the surface.

Jiu Zhen stopped her. "Master, what's wrong?" Jiuzhen was a little scared when she saw her expression. Although Laifu's words were infuriating, they were also the truth.

Qin Xiaozui shook his head. The old emperor was beginning to fear her. Just what had happened? No matter how smart she was, how could she have guessed what Nangong Kai Ran was thinking? "Since I'm going to give her a warning, I can't have any more thoughts." I'll give you a peace of mind. " She got up and walked out, regardless of how Jiuzhen shouted to stop her. Laifu stayed where he was. How could this damned girl be willing to suffer such a loss?

Chen Deng watched her bowing and smiling as she returned, and he forced himself to ask, "Prince Consort Ma, are you done?"

"Yes, yes. Everyone has been waiting for a long time — "Before Qin Xiao could finish his sentence, a guard at the side pushed him onto a chair.

"Hey, hey, hey, if you don't want to do it, don't --" Before she could finish her sentence, she was pressed down on the chair, her four limbs were firmly gripped, and she couldn't move at all. Alright, so he was afraid that she would resist? Did he really use all of his skills?

Qin Xiaoliu wanted to say a few more words of courtesy and speak up for the group. However, before he could say anything, he swallowed his words with a groan.

The wooden board was swung down one by one. Qin Xiao kept his mouth shut in fear of shouting out. However, he was counting in his heart. While she was scolding the entire Nangong Family, she swore that she would teach this little lady a lesson.

"Hey, hey, hey. Let's focus on fighting." Chen Deng reminded him.

F * ck, this palace is the same as my own yamen, there are so many flowery ways to beat a board. Qin Xiao trembled in pain, but he rejoiced in his heart. It seemed that the old emperor was indeed going to teach her a lesson. He was going to show mercy this time. Judging from his strength, his life would not be in danger and his muscles would not be injured.

She suddenly pulled away her captured right arm, and Chen Deng was about to shout when he saw her biting her arm, refusing to scream even if she died. In the entire yard, only the sound of the plank hitting her body and Qin Xiaomeng's ragged breathing could be heard. All of the guards and servants in the mansion had received benefits from Qin Xiaoliu. They could not bear to see this unlucky Prince Consort get beaten to death. She raised her head and looked at Nan Gong Miao, her entire face was pale white, with sweat all over her face and blood on her mouth from having bitten her arm, when she caught sight of the look in Nan Gong Miao's eyes, he actually laughed lightly, as though he was trying to show off to her. Quickly beg for mercy! Nangong Miao thought, as long as she was willing to give in, he would definitely tell these people to stop! But why was he so stubborn at this crucial moment? She just could not swallow the anger that had been held in her heart for a long time, and could not endure that her royal father would always protect him. However, she did not want him to really be beaten to death. Logically speaking, it could be said that she couldn't stand him even if she had other men on her side and didn't want to get back at him. Now that he had been beaten up so miserably, she couldn't bear to watch any longer. Trembling slightly, she said to Qi Xi and Ba Bao, "Help me back to my room." Qi Xi could not bear it anymore as she whispered, "Princess, shouldn't you tell him to stop?" Nangong Miao looked at the motionless Qin Xiao Hu and said: "If he is willing to be beaten, then let him take it one by one." With that, he left as if he was fleeing.

Laifu could not stand up anymore. He had always felt that this damned little girl would do anything to achieve her goal. She would rather betray the world than be betrayed by the people of the world. However, after seeing how she was beaten up to the point where she couldn't breathe and yet hadn't made a sound, she didn't seem to give in in in the slightest. She felt that it was fortunate that the manor lord didn't follow, otherwise it would be a bad thing.

These 40 boards were simply too long. It was so long that even Qin Xiaoliu couldn't remember how many fights she had had. Chen Deng had withdrawn the people who had held her down. It was impossible for her to resist and move again. The execution was finally over. Qin Xiao crawled on the bench like a dead fish as she thought of the person she had beaten up in the hall. Damn, retribution doesn't come too fast! She must be very ugly right now, very shameful.

Chen Deng stepped forward and stopped all of Jiuzhen and her guards who were rushing towards him. Seeing her pale, green face and pale, bloodless lips, he could not bear to see her like this. He whispered, "Prince Consort, His Majesty asked this old servant to send a message to you, instructing you to behave yourself."

Qin Xiaoliu raised his head, wiped off his sweat, and replied, "Thank you, Steward Chen. Please pass a message to His Majesty as well. This son thanks Imperial Father for reminding me."

Only then did Chen Deng nod his head in satisfaction as everyone headed back to the palace.
