Chapter 2038: The Romance (26)
But as soon as Feng Xun spoke, Emperor Wu threw a dirty look at him. “Shut up! One more word and I’ll punish you as well!”
Prime Minister Liu, who was seldom noticed, glanced at Feng Xun and shook his head.
If His Majesty wanted to punish the girl, he must have his reasons.
Because only after he punished her could he give her a job.
It sounded unreasonable, but one could understand if one thought about it.
But Feng Xun didn’t have time to think. He couldn’t let such a humiliating thing happen to Duan Chaoge.
If he just stood there and watched, Xiao Wu would never forgive him.
“Your Majesty, please stop this!” Feng Xun knelt down and cupped his fists. “I’ll take Miss Chaoge’s place.”
Emperor Wu was furious.
He glared at Feng Xun. “If you like being punished so much, you can have it! Bring me another bench! Feng Xun will be flogged twice as many times as Duan Chaoge! Spare no strength!”
“Your Majesty —”
Lady Northern Feng paled.
The “spare no strength” part was terrifying.
The people doing the flogging were the most capable eunuchs in court. If the emperor told them to spare no strength, Feng Xun would suffer from internal injuries.
“Sorry about this.”
Two old eunuchs stepped out. There was no expression on their faces, and they gave everyone an oppressive feeling.
“Lady Northern Feng, please leave,” Emperor Wu said coldly.
Seeing this, Ranmil smirked.
“Princess, shall we go?”
Xiaocao, Ranmil’s personal maid, spoke gently as she took care of the wounds on Ranmil’s face.
They were already leaving, but Ranmil stopped when she saw what was going to happen.
With her swollen face, she grimaced in pain even if she moved her mouth a little, but she still snorted. “I’m not going anywhere. Why should I? His Majesty has my back now!”
“Start!” Emperor Wu gave the order.
Whoosh!
Two benches were set next to each other. Feng Xun and Chaoge lay on their stomachs.
Two old eunuchs stood on one side each, and instead of wooden rods, they were holding rods made from iron!
They were thick, long, and filled with spiritual essence. Chaoge almost fainted at the first hit.
It really hurt.
But many people were watching closely, as if they were going to recruit Chaoge as soon as the flogging was over.
Ranmil laughed.
Sefiro laughed.
So did the older prince.
And Chieftain Senal.
“Use all your strength!” This was the way Emperor Wu maintained his dignity as an emperor.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Each time the iron rod fell, blood splashed.
It was such a scary thing to watch.
Chaoge felt that she was going to pass out.
She gritted her teeth.
If Xiao Wu was here… Xiao Wu would never let this happen to her…
Just then, she heard a click.
The tightly shut bronze door slowly opened.
“Oh god! They…”
“She’s still alive!”
“How’s that possible?!”
