"Do you think Nian'er appreciates your compensation?"

Hearing what the prince said, Xiao Mobai became even more angry. He actually thought that he could compensate for hurting Nian'er with those ordinary things. It was a beautiful thought.

"This is not what I mean. I am just asking Your Highness to ask Miss Nian how to spare my daughter."

The prince knew that Xiao Mobai was not easy to talk to, so he was always interested in Gu Nian's matter. The best solution at this moment is to let Gu Nian come forward to persuade her, otherwise Xiao Mobai will not let his daughter go.

"No. Nian'er was injured just now and was frightened by your daughter. She is asleep at the moment."

Xiao Mobai refused simply. He didn't want such irrelevant things to disturb Gu Nian's rest.

"Your Highness..."

The prince wanted to say something more to plead, but was interrupted by Xiao Mobai.

"Uncle, there is no need to say more. Since she has made a big mistake and you, the father, are unwilling to educate her, I can only do it for you."

"beat!"

After Xiao Mobai finished speaking, he ordered the guards to carry out the execution.

The young lady from the prince's family finally regretted it at this moment. She was pinned down on the stool by the guards and struggled violently, crying loudly.

"Aww, daddy, please help me."

"Brother Prince, I was wrong."

The young lady from the prince's family kept begging for mercy and help, but Xiao Mobai was not moved at all, and the first blow of the board fell heavily on the young lady.

The young lady of the prince's family instantly cried out in pain. She had never been punished like this since she was a child.

The prince was anxious on the side, watching helplessly as the board fell on his beloved daughter, but he was not busy at all, and he was so distressed that he almost cried.

But there was nothing he could do. His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't let him see Gu Nian. He couldn't even find anyone to plead with.

Just when the second board was about to fall, a voice came from the door of the palace.

"Wait a moment."

Xiao Mobai looked up as soon as he heard the sound, and sure enough he saw Gu Nian walking in from the door.

The moment he saw Gu Niande, without waiting for Xiao Mobai's reaction, his body instinctively stood up to greet Gu Nian and left.

"Why are you here? Why did you wake up after sleeping for a short while?"

Xiao Mobai quickly walked to Gu Nian and hugged him directly.

Gu Nian's little hands clung to Xiao Mobai's shoulders, her little body leaned into Xiao Mobai's arms, and she responded with a soft voice.

"Nian'er dreamed that he fell off the swing and woke up. When I woke up, Brother Mo Bai was not around, so my maid brought me here."

Hearing that Gu Nian had a nightmare because of this incident, Xiao Mobai's eyes instantly turned sharper when he looked at the young lady from Wang Ye's family.

When the young lady from the prince's family saw Gu Nian coming, she thought she saw a savior, but she didn't expect that he was here to add fuel to her fire.

Even the prince looked more depressed now than before.

When he saw Gu Nian coming, he originally thought of interceding with Gu Nian and asking Xiao Mobai to let his daughter go. Unexpectedly, Xiao Mobai's anger became even more intense when he arrived.

Xiao Mobai hugged Gu Nian and sat in a large chair, patting Gu Nian and coaxing her gently.

"Nian'er, don't be afraid. My brother is here. Can he sleep with you in his arms?"

"Ah."

With Gu Nian's consent, Xiao Mobai no longer planned to supervise the work personally, and wanted to carry Gu Nian back to his palace to sleep.

Anyway, even if I am not here, my servants will know what they should do.

The prince looked at Xiao Mobai's back holding Gu Nian and was about to return to the palace. His heart skipped a beat and he knelt on the ground.

The prince shouted to their backs: "Your Highness and Miss Nian, please stay."

The prince knew that if he blocked Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian like this, he would definitely be severely punished.

Although their prince is still young, he is the prince's elder. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely resourceful and will never let go of anything that makes him dissatisfied.

He had already seen that this prince had a profound knowledge of the city and was a born king. So even though he is young now, the prince does not dare to offend the prince.

But the current situation did not allow him to think too much. The one who was pressed down and beaten on the chair was his daughter whom he loved very much. Even if he was punished, he still wanted to save his daughter's life.

Sure enough, Xiao Mobai turned his head and looked at the prince with a look that almost froze the prince.

Even the surrounding palace people felt the oppression emanating from Xiao Mobai.

"Have you thought about the consequences of stopping me?"

Xiao Mobai knew what he wanted to do when the prince stopped him. He dared to stop him in front of Gu Nian for something he had already decided.

"Back to Your Highness, I know the consequences, but I cannot ignore my daughter. Please be kind to Miss Nian and spare my daughter's life."

The prince knelt on the ground and begged loudly. As long as he could save his daughter, he was willing to bear all the consequences.

If he doesn't speak out now, his daughter will be beaten thirty times, and she will die.

"Huh? Brother Mo Bai, why do you still have something to do with me?"

When Gu Nian came, he only wanted to stay in Xiao Mobai's arms and didn't notice what was happening around him.

At this moment, when he heard that the prince was begging for mercy from him, he stood up from Xiao Mobai's arms and saw the little girl pressed on the stool.

"Brother Mo Bai, what's going on?"

Gu Nian looked at Xiao Mobai and asked what happened.

Although Xiao Mobai didn't want to tell, when Gu Nian asked, he didn't want to hide it, so he told Gu Nian truthfully what happened.

"She's disrespectful to you, I'm going to hit her thirty times."

"Thirty boards?"

Gu Nian was extremely surprised when she heard what Xiao Mobai said.

"Brother hit her so many times, wouldn't she be dead?"

Although Gu Nian is young, she has also seen palace servants being punished. Such a big man was beaten thirty times and was dead, let alone this little girl.

Xiao Mobai also knew in his heart that if these thirty blows were taken, the girl would probably be dead.

But the scene of Gu Nian falling from the swing kept replaying in his mind. Although Gu Nian was not seriously injured in the end, it was entirely because of his good protection at the beginning.

If Gu Nian fell directly to the ground from such a high position, the consequences would be disastrous.

Xiao Mobai's heart was tightly tugged at the thought that something might happen to Gu Nian in front of him. If he didn't punish the initiator, it would be difficult to calm down the anger in his heart.

"Brother, Nian'er is fine. Just stop hitting her, okay?"

Gu Nian's soft voice sounded in Xiao Mobai's ears. Gu Nian's request made Xiao Mobai subconsciously want to agree, but his reason pulled him back in time.

"No, if I don't punish her, it's hard to calm the anger in my heart."

The prince knelt on the ground and watched the conversation between Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian, but the distance was too far and he really couldn't hear what they said.
