The white moonlight of the paranoid tyrant was stolen

Chapter 39
"Forget it, let's leave it at that." He lowered his eyes to look at the jade pendant on his waist, and couldn't help stroking it with his fingers, "I'll take you home."

Hearing the sound of "squeak" from the back door being opened from the inside, Zuo Qiuju, who was guarding the door, trembled in shock.

"Your Majesty, madam."

Emperor Tianqin gave him a cold look, "Bring the two guards there, and there must be at least one of the thirty boards."

This is the slightly lighter punishment he gave.

Together with the previous ones, there are a total of fifty boards.

Although it takes a long time to cultivate half-dead after the fight, it's better than losing your life.

Emperor Tianqin was wearing an ordinary black robe today, so there was no need to change clothes.

He didn't even bring Zuo Qiuju with him, so he went out of the palace with Gu Ruzhen to the General's Mansion.

Sending people to the door of the general, Emperor Tianqin was going to turn around and leave immediately, but he couldn't hold back and followed him in.

He has actually tried his best to control the desire to come here these days, not because he doesn't want to come, but because he doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to her.

The marriage contract between the two has already been calculated, and it will take almost half a year. During this half year, he still has enough time to prepare various matters in the palace.

The reason why I have to restrain myself is that I am afraid that if there are too many visits, there will be a lot of what Shen Ji said today.

He doesn't care, but he can't help caring about her.

Seeing Emperor Tianqin following in, Wu Zhu hurriedly dispersed the maids and eunuchs on both sides, and retreated to the back, leaving an absolutely quiet space for the two of them.

Sending her to the gate of the courtyard, Emperor Tianqin didn't go in or leave, but stroked the wooden door with his hands hesitantly.

Gu Ruzhen turned around and asked, "Aren't you coming in? I made some pastries and I want you to take them back."

These words gave Emperor Tian Qin great courage and reason, he took a few steps to be level with the woman's body.

The pastry was made before Cui Shao came, and because there was charcoal under the box, it was still warm at the moment.

Emperor Tianqin held the wooden box, struggling as if his whole heart was being tormented in a frying pan.

"Aren't you going?" The woman asked strangely as she put the red plums that had grown for many days on the windowsill into his hands.

Holding the red plum in one hand and the wooden box containing pastries in the other, Emperor Tianqin couldn't help coughing dryly.

Of course he didn't want to leave, but he didn't know what reason to use to stay.

After stalemate on the spot for a long while, facing the woman's puzzled gaze, Emperor Tianqin walked up to her, ruffled her hair vigorously, messed up her bun, and then left with some satisfaction.

It's also possible, though, that it's not quite... contented.

When Shen Ji was beaten with thirty boards, the courtiers who opposed this decree were all watching.

Naturally, it wasn't that Shen Ji wanted these people to come and see him being spanked when he was free, but it was an order from Emperor Tianqin.

The two guards attacked very hard. Whenever Shen Ji was beaten to the point of fainting, Imperial Physician Xue, who had already prepared everything by the side, would take out a pill and put it in Shen Ji's mouth.

After such thirty boards, Shen Ji was in a very sober state.

The people watching from the side swallowed dryly, and they were a little afraid to mention this matter.

Even when Shen Xiang mentioned this matter, he was beaten fifty times in a row. If they were them, wouldn't they even lose their lives?
In fact, they didn't know that Shen Ji really almost risked his life in it.

If it wasn't for Zuoqiu's cleverness to let Cui Shao lead each day, and Gu Ruzhen came to intercede, if any of these links were wrong or slow, Shen Ji would have died today.

Zuo Qiuju sent the guards over, and he himself stayed here to watch.

When everyone else had left, he said to Shen Ji, who was still sober despite the pain that he couldn't control himself, "Master, don't say those things in the future, if there is no empress today, your majesty will definitely As you wish, let you die to show your ambition."

"If there is a next time, maybe even if the empress pleads, it won't work."

Shen Ji didn't answer, but showed hesitation, and he didn't know how to describe his current mood.

No one is not afraid of death, especially after experiencing life and death today, he is even more regretful and afraid.

The moment he saw Gu Ruzhen, he regretted what he said.

What he said... was not from the bottom of his heart, but he hoped to try his best to discredit this woman and make His Majesty change his mind about her.

Not only is she not the seductive and charming girl he said, she is even more dignified and beautiful than any noble lady he has ever seen.

If she hadn't been Queen Qingxuan before, Shen Ji would have recognized her as Queen Tianqin.

But now, it's useless even if he doesn't approve.

And he... still felt strangely uncomfortable.

He kept trying to smear Gu Ruzhen in Ganlu Hall, he knew how important a reputation was to a woman, but he still did it.

However, Gu Ruzhen did not pursue it, and even pleaded for him in front of His Majesty.

As Zuo Qiuju said, if there is no Gu Ruzhen today, next year will be his death day, and maybe it will bring disaster to his family.

"I also ask Eunuch Zuoqiu to bring a word to His Majesty for me."

Zuo Qiuju shook his whisk, horrified, "Master Xiang, even if it's for your family, don't worry, don't say those things again."

"No." Shen Ji paused, and took a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from the pain on his forehead, "I want to tell you His Majesty's lesson."

Zuoqiu was stunned for a long time when he heard this, before he realized what it meant, his brows and eyes were slit into two slits with joy, he hurriedly got up and went back to prepare to return.

Even Prime Minister Shen no longer objected to this will, so it was even less likely for others to object.

Zuo Qiuju had just left when Li Yu and Si Hongyuan who were waiting at the door came in again.

Seeing that Shen Ji's body was beaten to a bloody mess, the two couldn't help but gasped, and ordered someone to carry him into the room.

The medicine given to him by Imperial Physician Xue happened to lose its effect at this time, and Shen Ji soon lost consciousness and passed out.

"What do you think?" Si Hongyuan wandered around the room, "I told you earlier, but he didn't take it seriously. Do you still think His Majesty is the first emperor?"

Li Yu pursed his lips, and drank the Pu'er tea in the cup in one gulp, "Actually, I planned to go together, but I didn't expect..."

"Didn't expect what?" Si Hongyuan couldn't help sneering, "Didn't you expect His Majesty to be so ruthless, disregarding the relationship between the monarch and his ministers for many years?"

Li Yu didn't speak, but obviously agreed with Si Hongyuan's words.

Si Hongyuan took the cup from his hand and put it aside, "Do you really think that today's board is His Majesty's unkindness? I can tell you that just now, His Majesty personally sent the Empress back to the General's Mansion."

"For no reason, why do you think she appeared in the palace?"
