When Prince Chen arrived, he happened to see Tang Mumu taking off his fox fur coat. The guard raised his stick, but when he saw Prince Chen, he was stunned for a moment, and then he dropped the first stick heavily.

After just one blow of the stick, Tang Mumu couldn't bear it and his body went limp. He had to support himself with his hands before kneeling again. Then he felt the skin on his back torn apart. Tang Mumu felt a little regretful. It turned out that being hit with a stick was so painful.

Seeing that the second stick was about to fall, Tang Mumu subconsciously closed her eyes. This stick would hurt too much and she was afraid.

The expected pain did not subside. Tang Mumu suddenly opened his eyes and saw clearly that it was Prince Chen who grabbed the executioner's arm. The two were staring at each other.

Tang Mumu was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and quickly advised: "Don't worry, big brother, I can still bear it, let go quickly and don't break the rules."

Tang Mumu knew that Prince Chen never took sides with the court, and that he had come here only for his elder sister. She could not let herself be implicated in his affairs, and she could not let her father classify Prince Chen's Palace as an outlier.

The guard's face was gloomy, and he withdrew his arm that was grabbed by Rong Su, "Your Highness Prince Chen, please don't embarrass me."

Rong Su looked at Tang Mumu, then at the cane, picked up the fox fur on the snow, and put it on Tang Mumu.

"There is no rule to take off the fox fur."

The guard frowned, and after a moment he said, "Your Highness Prince Chen, please do not interfere in the subsequent execution."

Rong Su pursed his lips and stood aside. The guard raised his stick and Tang Mumu closed her eyes again. The horrifying pain spread throughout her limbs and pierced every inch of skin. Even though she was wearing a fox fur coat, it still hurt. After only two hits, Tang Mumu's eyes were filled with tears. She felt like crying.

The white clothes turned red, and the silver-white fox fur was also stained red. The barbs on the stick were stained with blood, which was dripping into the snow drop by drop, seeping into the snow, and disappearing in the snow in an instant. Only a small red dot could be seen.

He knelt upright again, ready to face the third blow of the stick. Before the stick fell, the guards executing the execution knelt hurriedly and saluted. Prince Chen immediately bowed. Tang Mumu raised her eyes and saw a eunuch walking towards her with an umbrella. Under the umbrella was Emperor An's disgusting face, which seemed to be infinitely magnified in front of her eyes.

Someone immediately brought a chair and put it down. Emperor An sat down in an open space three meters away from Tang Mumu and looked at her leisurely.

Tang Mumu was so angry that she wanted to laugh. She didn't want to pretend to be a subject of loyalty, nor did she want to play the role of loving father and filial son with him. This dog emperor was really a dog. He came to laugh at her in the heavy snow. Emperor An personally supervised the execution. Even if the eldest brother wanted to protect her, he couldn't do it.

Tang Mumu closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembled slightly. It seemed that she was really hopeless this time. She turned her head and looked at the barbed stick again. Her head suddenly felt dizzy and even the wound on her back seemed to hurt more.

Is she really going to die here today?

"I beg you to show mercy, father. Princess Rong is a woman. She can't bear the thirty strokes of the cane."

As soon as Emperor An sat down, Rong Su quickly knelt down in front of him, pleading for her with an anxious look on his face.

Emperor An looked dissatisfied. In his mind, Prince Chen had always been steady and polite, and was especially respectful to him as his father. But now he obviously stood on the side of Prince Rong, which made him very dissatisfied. As a result, the look in his eyes when he looked at Tang Mumu became more vicious. If she died just like that, it would help him solve a big problem.

"Su'er, are you going to force me too?" Emperor An looked distressed and said in a deep voice, "Since she has already sounded the drum for reporting, she deserves these thirty strokes of the cane. If I show mercy and forgive her out of selfish reasons, what dignity will the royal family have in the future? How can I give an explanation to the ministers?"

Hearing this, Tang Mumu couldn't help but roll her eyes. It sounded nice, and he was showing mercy out of selfish motives, but it was obvious that he was trying to kill her on purpose out of selfish motives.

"Father..."

"How dare you." Before Rong Su could finish his words, he was shouted at by Emperor An. Emperor An looked at him coldly and would not allow anyone to plead for mercy. "Do you want to disobey me?"

Rong Su was speechless for a moment, feeling extremely anxious. He hoped that Rong Yan and the others would arrive soon, but he also hoped that they would not show up at all. His father was very angry at the moment, and if he saw Rong Yan again, things would probably end even worse.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind." Tang Mumu calmed down and tried to find her original voice. She raised the corners of her lips and said, "My eldest brother is just kind-hearted and can't bear to see me end up like this. How can I say I am disobedient? It's my fault. Your Majesty, please don't be angry with me."

Emperor An raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that she still had the mind to care about others at this time. She was indeed a person who valued friendship and loyalty.

"Do you hate me in your heart?"

If she didn't have good self-control, her eyes would have rolled up to her forehead. The dog emperor was really a cheapskate because he asked even though he knew the answer.

"Father, you are wise. I dare not resent you. It was I who struck the drum for hearing the news. I naturally know what I deserve and I dare not resent you."

Emperor An raised his lips slightly and said lazily, "That's good."

He raised his hand, and the third stick fell in an instant. Tang Mumu had no time to prepare, and the sudden and severe pain came, and she almost cried out in pain.

In the Wusheng Hall of the Imperial Jinwei, Song Jinyu and Rong Lou really risked their lives to force their way in. Finally, they managed to break into the inner hall. There were a large number of wounded lying on the ground, crying out in pain. Chen Lang led people to block the way ahead. Song Jinyu and Rong Lou had bruises on their faces to varying degrees. They stood side by side, staring at the people who were blocking them. If they delayed any further, even if they went in to rescue the people and brought them to the Xuanzheng Hall, it would be too late.

Song Jinyu touched the corner of his mouth and quickly retracted his hand in pain. "Lord Chen really doesn't hold back at all. He is going to kill us."

When Rong Lou heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched. He looked at Chen Lang with disheveled hair, then glanced at the injured leg he was dragging, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for him.

"I am just following orders. Your Highness and Master Xiao Song, please don't embarrass me."

"How can you be so embarrassed to watch someone die without helping? Think about who saved you so many times in Xiling. After all, we are friends who have risked our lives for each other. Now, you are unwilling to do a small favor, and not only are you making excuses, but you are also trying to kill us. Tell me, is this appropriate?"

Chen Lang couldn't help rolling his eyes after hearing this, "You two are the ones who are going to kill me, right? You are robbing the prison, which is inappropriate. Not only will this fail to save Princess Rong, but it will also put all of you in danger. Is it worth it?"

"Anyway, you are already injured. Even if you release the person, you can still say in front of His Majesty that we kidnapped the person, and it won't implicate you. Lord Chen, can't you really show some leniency? Think about Xiling, think about who saved you on the cliff."

Chen Lang frowned, hesitated for a moment and said: "I am helping you. If Prince Rong leaves Wusheng Hall today, it will be like escaping from prison. Not only will Prince Rong be convicted, but Your Highness and Lord Xiao Song will also be unable to escape. Lord Xiao Song is making trouble, can't Your Highness see the situation clearly?"

Rong Lou lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? If you can't convince me, then let's keep fighting. Even if we have to tear down the Wusheng Hall today, I have to take the person away."
