The Princess of Northern Land

The surrounding area was filled with people watching the excitement. Today was the 27th of the New Year, so the streets should have been very lively. But this year, because of the disappearance of Princess Ling, everyone became trembling with fear. There was almost no trace of joy in the street. Looking at everyone's face, they were full of worry and solemnity. Those who didn't know it thought everyone in their family had died.

When Mu saw clearly the two people tied to the pillar, her heart immediately broke.

"Your Highness Prince Rui, please, they can't hold on any longer." Mu bit her lip and restrained the urge to step forward and snatch them away.

Those who were watched by the people were her children. At this moment, her children were being flogged and crying to death. The screams were almost tearing out her heart.

"Don't fight, my lord, please don't fight anymore." Mu stumbled to Chu Suifeng and knelt down to him.

Chu Suifeng's face was slightly cold and he said nothing.

Many people around him couldn't help but spit at Mu, and some threw snowballs at the two brothers and sisters in the middle who were being beaten.

"My lord, they did something wrong because I was not strict in discipline. If you want to punish me, just punish me." Mrs. Mu cried and begged.

Chu Suifeng still didn't speak.

Marquis Li was afraid that Mu would anger Chu Suifeng, so he immediately stepped forward and gave Mu a kick, "Why don't you go back, what nonsense are you talking about."

"Mom, help me. I can't bear it anymore. I really can't stand it anymore. I will never dare to do it again. Your Highness, Prince Ling, please spare your life."

"Mom, it hurts so much. It hurts so much." Li Yanran's hair was disheveled, and the coat on her body had long been taken off, leaving only the clothes underneath.

The traces on the clothes were soaked with blood, and her face could no longer find the arrogant look, but panic and helplessness.

"Father, mother, help me." Li Jiesong shouted louder when he saw Mu.

"Lao Qi." King Rui sighed and spoke kindly.

"What, how do you think of paying the bill?" Chu Suifeng said coldly.

King Rui was stunned. He didn't understand what Chu Suifeng meant. "Lao Qi, are you willing to give me the power of agency?"

Not understanding what Chu Suifeng was referring to, King Rui simply deliberately distorted the meaning of his words.

"You seem to have forgotten what I once said." With Lin Ziyin's disappearance, Chu Suifeng seemed to have returned to his original ruthlessness.

"Since you are unwilling to give me the agency rights, how can you pay the bill?" King Rui said in a joking tone.

"Aren't you here to be a good intercessor?" Chu Suifeng did not give him any room to be tactful, and pointed out the purpose of King Rui's visit directly and mercilessly, "You know how much crime they have committed, but you are still willing to come here . It means that you have already thought about what you will do in exchange for their lives."

Mu's heart suddenly surged with despair. Chu Suifeng's words were tantamount to telling everyone clearly that he would definitely take the lives of his two children.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to trade my life for theirs." Mu knelt down again and kowtowed to Chu Suifeng.

"Your life is worthless in the eyes of this king." Chu Suifeng refused coldly, "Anyone who dares to hurt the princess, I will definitely make her life worse than death."

Prince Ling never told lies, and Mu's face suddenly turned earth-colored.

The hearts of the men of the Li family, including Mr. Li, also trembled.

They came here out of necessity, and if they could help it, they didn't want to come over to watch this punishment.

The reluctance is not because I feel sorry for Li Jiesong and Li Yanran, but because everyone in the Li family feels embarrassed.

"I don't dare, not anymore." Li Yanran shook her head and shouted loudly, "It was the Tatars who deliberately sent people to coax me. Yes, Your Majesty, someone deliberately tempted me to harm the princess."

Chu Suifeng's face was stunned and he raised his hand.

"Pause." From the past, he spoke coldly.

The servant of the Li family who was holding the whip was frightened and immediately stepped aside. He walked up to Li Yanran and asked in a cold voice, "Who is taking the lead with you?"

Ma Zhicai, who was standing in the crowd, was so frightened that his legs became weak. He quickly pushed down the hat on his head, covered half of his face with a scarf, and lowered his head. His heart was beating very fast, for fear that Li Yanran would expose him.

He was afraid of death. Although he hated the Lin family and had the courage to do many things for the Tatars, he still didn't want to die.

what to do? If that damn woman turned him out, where would he hide? Do you really want to go to the North Country?

"He's a bearded man. He's from the North. I heard his accent." Li Yanran shouted loudly, ignoring the pain on her body.

After hearing this, Ma Zhicai immediately felt confident and straightened his waist. But he still hid behind the crowd and listened quietly.

The people around were all talking in low voices, and they were all indignant towards Li Yanran and the so-called bearded man.

"How did he contact you?" After shooting around, the people immediately became quiet.

"Someone threw a dagger into my house in the middle of the night, and there was a letter underneath. The letter asked me to go to the restaurant to meet him, so I went there, and then I saw the bearded man." Li Yanran has suffered a lot, I no longer dared to hide anything and confessed everything.

"Will that person contact you again in the future?"

"No, I really haven't seen him again. But he has a big beard. I will definitely recognize him if I see him again." Li Yanran cried, with a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Ma Zhicai stood in the crowd, his eyes flashing coldly. He hoped that Chu Suifeng could deal with Li Yanran immediately. He is truly safe only when Li Yanran is dead.
