Chapter 14 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

The guard seemed useless, but the sound of the whip in the air made Ye Ling'er terrified.

Mengzhu resisted the pain, bit her lower lip to keep herself from making a sound.

Ye Ling'er stood in front and could see Mengzhu trembling.

"Hit me again! A little servant girl actually put the princess in danger, and she deserves to die."

A cold voice came from above Ye Linger's head, and when she turned around, she saw Jiang Mohan's snake eyes, looking at her without any emotion.

She blinked and knew that Jiang Mohan did it for her on purpose.

just why?
Killing chickens to warn monkeys?
caveat?

No matter what, she felt that Jiang Mohan was unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, people from other races came to the gate of the Snake Clan Palace to bully the princess of the Snake Clan. Not only did you not avenge the Snake Clan, but you also picked on your own people. Do you think you are acting like a king?"

Jiang Mohan originally had no emotion in his eyes or face, but when he heard Ye Linger's words, he was like a rat with fury, his eyes were about to pop out of anger.

"Princess, do you know what you're talking about? If she didn't take you to that place, how could you find it? All the signs are enough to show that she led you there on purpose."

Compared to Jiang Mohan's fury, Ye Ling'er was not as calm as herself.

"What evidence do you have?"

"Hey... Evidence? Do you want evidence? This king will tell you where the evidence is right now."

When she heard this, Ye Linger's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and she was really afraid that Mengzhu took her there on purpose.

But the next moment...

I saw Jiang Mohan waved his big hand, and shouted at the guards in the hall: "Hit! Hit me until she admits it!"

Ye Ling'er was shocked. She thought that with Jiang Mohan's ability, she would really come up with some evidence.

But she never thought that Jiang Mohan's so-called "evidence" was actually torture.

The whip hit Mengzhu again and again, and Mengzhu's face became paler and paler.

Even so, she is trying to prove her innocence.

"Your Majesty, if I don't have a slave, I'm wronged."

"I didn't take the princess there on purpose."

"Slave is wronged."

Her begging for mercy didn't have any effect, and all she got was a heavy whipping from the guards.

Seeing the slight blood stains oozing from her dress, Ye Linger frowned as if she wanted to pinch a mosquito to death.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Jiang Mohan glanced at her indifferently, then looked away.

Ye Linger was in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, do you really think that the result of such torture is what you want?"

Finally, Jiang Mohan put his eyes on her, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I just think, either you have to produce substantive evidence, or you are wronging people."

"Ye Ling'er! You are a mere mortal, how dare you say such things to me."

"Yes, I am indeed just a mortal, but has the king forgotten one thing? We mortals also have a palace, and mortals also have an emperor. The mortal emperor will not be tortured, nor will he be so irritable. That's why mortals exist. Long."

Jiang Mohan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he exhausted all his strength to suppress the thought of tearing Ye Ling'er into pieces.

He put his eyes on Mengzhu again, "Hit! Hit hard!"

The whip fell even harder, Mengzhu finally couldn't help crying out, "Ah..."

"Stop! Stop for this princess!"

Ye Ling'er jumped anxiously, but the guard acted like she didn't hear it, and slapped her hard.

Seeing this, Ye Ling'er jumped in front of Jiang Mohan in two steps, held Jiang Mohan's face in both hands, and looked into his eyes seriously.

"Your Majesty, this is not acceptable, it will only lose people's hearts, it will only lead to torture, and it will only cause many unjust cases."

In the main hall, the ministers sighed unceasingly, they were all frightened by Ye Linger's behavior.

Jiang Mohan narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Get out!"

His tone was as cold as an ice cellar, Ye Linger let go of his face with some guilt, hesitating whether to leave or not.

When she was hesitating, Jiang Mohan slapped the table vigorously, "I told you all to go out! Are you deaf!"

Ye Linger's heart skipped a beat.

He scolded the minister.

The ministers looked at each other for a while, and ran out of the hall as if fleeing, and they took Mengzhu away by the way.

In the hall, only Ye Linger and Jiang Mohan were left.

Jiang Mohan squeezed Ye Linger's chin, his eyes were so dangerous that he wanted to eat her to pieces.

"Do you know what you were doing just now?"

Ye Ling'er swallowed nervously, "I just think that you can't get the result you want by using this method, and it is always the most stupid way to beat yourself up."

"You say this king is stupid?"

"I didn't mean that, I..."

"roll!"

Jiang Mohan let go of Ye Ling'er, turned his head and never looked at her again.

His appearance was terribly gloomy and cold, a feeling of survival after a catastrophe emerged from the bottom of Ye Linger's heart.

No wonder the predecessors would say that companionship with a monarch is like companionship with a tiger, and what the predecessors said is absolutely true.

Just as she recovered, Jiang Mohan slapped the table hard again, turning his head to look at her even more coldly.

"roll!"

Ye Ling'er wished to stay away from Jiang Mohan, so she quickly left the hall with her skirt in hand.

It was too suffocating here, if she could, she would never step in again.

She walked to the garden and was stopped by Bai Yuhan at a corner.

"Princess, you are so majestic today, you dare to treat the king with such an attitude in the court, you really don't know the heights of heaven and earth."

Ye Ling'er squinted at her and was about to pass her and leave.

Bai Yuhan tugged at her wrist, pulled her back severely, and stared at her fiercely.

"Ye Ling'er! Who do you think you are! How dare you ignore the king! Why didn't you die at the hands of the fox king this time!"

Instead of being angry, Ye Linger smiled, even a little charmingly.

"I'm Jiang Mohan's concubine, don't you know? Are you disappointed that I didn't die in the hands of the Fox King? But I may let you down to the end, I won't die easily."

There was a trace of imperceptible provocation in her eyes, Bai Yuhan was furious, and raised her arm to hit Ye Linger.

Before her hand touched Ye Linger, she was pushed away by Ye Linger.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yuhan was pushed staggeringly.

She raised her head in disbelief, and looked at Ye Ling'er in disbelief.

"You... how dare you hit Miss Ben?"

"Just because my concubine is the concubine married by the king, just because you want to call me princess, if that's the case, I have the right to beat you if you offend me!"

After Ye Ling'er finished speaking, she smiled contemptuously, and left the garden past Bai Yuhan.

In the garden, Bai Yuhan hated her so much that the sand and stones around her were affected by her, and they rose into the air one after another, and did not fall for a long time.
