The secrets of the government behind the scenes are revealed, and all the villains are on their knee

Lin Xue's heart tightened at these sudden words, and she unconsciously raised her head to look at the young emperor who looked like a god.

His beautiful amber eyes were cold and indifferent, and his handsome facial features revealed a chill, but because of his frail body, he looked like he had no hostility.

It gives people the illusion that it will break at any time and has no lethality.

However, the longer I stared into his eyes, the more I gradually discovered that behind his seemingly weak appearance, there seemed to be an endless abyss that was slowly drawing me in and crushing me.

Lin Xue was slightly startled, lowered her head, and tightly grasped the medicine box, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the ancient book was passed down by my master. Before my master passed away, he repeatedly told me to keep it well and not let outsiders read it."

"Humph, Miss Lin Xue, do you mean that the emperor is not worthy of reading your ancient book?"

Eunuch Hong said quietly.

Lin Xue knelt down with a plop. "I have no such intention, but Master gave me this last wish before I passed away, and I cannot disobey."

"Humph, what a rule that cannot be disobeyed! You are clearly defying the Emperor's authority, which is extremely disrespectful!"

Eunuch Hong's voice was so shrill that it trembled with force.

[Wow, Eunuch Hong is so awesome! He is so amazing! ]

Lin You looked at Eunuch Hong's angry expression and immediately felt admiration for him.

Hearing this, Eunuch Hong's serious expression almost froze.

The queen praised him, does that mean he has clung to the queen's thigh?

Haha, as long as he holds on to the Empress' thigh, the Emperor will not have the chance to drive him away!

"Eunuch Hong, how should the crime of disrespect be punished?"

Lin You blinked in confusion.

"My Lady, the crime of disrespect is punishable by confiscation of property and exile, or by caning."

[Fuck, is it that serious?]

[I can't do that if my family is confiscated and I'm exiled. My grandmother is still in the General's Mansion! Moreover, the General's Mansion was the reward that my grandfather fought for on the battlefield and risked his life. If my family is confiscated and I'm exiled, my grandmother will die on the spot! ]

"Drag him out and give him fifty lashes of the cane."

Lin You was about to speak when he heard Shen Jing'an beside him utter a cold and indifferent remark.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Xue's face turned pale.

Fifty lashes of the cane, isn't this asking for her life?

"Someone is coming..."

As soon as Eunuch Hong finished speaking, a black figure flashed in front of Lin Xue, and his obsidian eyes stared at Shen Jingan solemnly.

Shen Jing'an's frail face remained expressionless. He was not surprised at all that Shen Yinlai would stand up. After all, Lin You had already expected that Shen Yinlai was there to support Lin Xue.

But he overestimated himself.

"Eunuch Hong..."

Shen Jing'an uttered in a low, hoarse and cold voice, and Eunuch Hong immediately ordered the imperial guards to capture Lin Xue and drag her out. Lin Xue struggled and called Concubine Chan and Shen Yin to come.

When Concubine Chan saw that the emperor was serious about it, she would never dare to speak for her.

Instead, he still blamed Lin Xue in his heart for being a brainless, useless waste.

It's just an ancient book. It won't hurt the emperor if he reads it. He is really confused and deserves to be punished with a stick.

Lin Xue was pressed on the board. At that moment, she panicked. "Your Majesty, I admit my guilt. I can give you..."

"beat."

Before she could finish her words, Lin Xue was hit hard by the stick and the pain made her lose her voice on the spot.

"The emperor..."

Another blow came down.

"Four……"

She looked for help at the black figure standing in the hall, uttered only one word, and then the third stick came down. A surge of blood suddenly rushed up to her throat and she vomited it out.

Perhaps the blood star disturbed her vision. She saw the young man in black looking at her with a sinister expression. His obsidian eyes, which had always only focused on her, revealed ruthless indifference.

In his eyes, it seemed as if she no longer existed as his sister.

"puff--"

After a few more blows, Lin Xue spat out blood again.

In a daze, she seemed to see the young man in black pick up a pen, write something on a piece of paper and pass it to Shen Jingan. Then she heard Eunuch Hong call for a stop. Her buttocks, which had been beaten to a pulp, finally stopped being beaten with a stick.

The young man in black also walked towards her.

It turned out that I had really seen it wrong. Shen Yinlai did not fail to help her, nor was he indifferent to her. He still liked her.

Before she fainted, Lin Xue heard Shen Jing'an say coldly, "Throw her out of the palace."

[Wow, the sickly emperor is so handsome when he goes crazy. So cute! So cool!]

Lin You propped up her chin, her charming eyes filled with pink love bubbles, and stared at the sullen-faced Shen Jingan beside her with great admiration.

Shen Jingan's face turned red because of her burning gaze and her shameless voice.

Concubine Chan looked at the two men who were totally disregarding her feelings and just exchanged glances with each other, and the handkerchief in her hand was torn to pieces.

Why can Lin You get the emperor's favor? Why!

Just now, Lin Xue was about to take out the ancient book, but the emperor did not give her the chance to speak and directly punished her. It was obvious that the emperor wanted to punish Lin Xue.

It was obvious that he was just venting his anger on that bitch Lin You.

And what happened to Shen Yinlai? Didn't he like Lin Xue very much? Why did he just stand there and beg the emperor to let her go when he saw that Lin Xue was about to die?

Why are all these men with the surname Shen so unfaithful and fickle-minded?

There is really not a single good person among them!

Concubine Chan was furious, but she could only grit her teeth and swallow it.

--

The General's Mansion.

"Madam, the young lady was seriously injured and was carried back."

Lian was taking a nap at noon when the housekeeper's panicked voice came into her ears.

Being disturbed from her sweet dream, Lian frowned so tightly that she could pinch a fly to death.

"Just get beaten, it's none of my business!"

The housekeeper was stunned by her yelling, and said stiffly, "But Madam, the young lady was brought back by the Fourth Prince."

"Fourth Prince!"

Lian suddenly stood up from the recliner, straightened her clothes and hair, and walked towards the door.

She had no control over what happened to Lin Xue, but since the Fourth Prince had arrived, she had to go and greet him.

Shen Yinlai brought Lin Xue to the gate of the mansion and stopped there, with no intention of going in.

Next to the stretcher, Lin Xue's servants kept sobbing quietly.

She didn't understand what Shen Yinlai did today.

If it had been in the past, the Fourth Prince would have been extremely distressed and would have hurriedly carried the girl to the clinic. But today, not only was he not the least bit panicked or distressed, he even refused to let anyone take the girl in when they passed by the clinic.

Instead, he took him straight back to the general's mansion with a cold expression, as if he had become a different person.

"Your Highness has met the young prince."

Lian arrived at the gate of the mansion, without even looking at Lin Xue lying on the stretcher, she walked straight up to Shen Yinlai and bowed.

Shen Yinlai glanced at the guard beside her, and the guard said to Lian: "Madam Lian, today your young lady angered the emperor in the palace. The emperor only punished her with a cane because of your contribution to the defense of the country. If it happens again, I'm afraid it won't be so simple."
