Chapter 27: Punishment (Part 1)
The tone is calm, but the deterrent effect is overwhelming.
Xia Zi suddenly stopped paying attention to him, her body lazily lying on the table, her head dully resting on her arm, her face turned to one side, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her crystal-clear eyes gazing downward. With a blink of an eye, her densely curved long eyelashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly.
Mo Yunxuan stood there, staring at the person in front of her with a cold and profound gaze, her lips pursed into a straight line, standing there very patiently until the butler came in to ask for instructions.
"Grandpa—"
Looked at Mo Yunxuan's pale face, then shifted his gaze to Xia Ziqi, who had already turned her head to the side on the table. He secretly knew it was not good. Alas, everyone knows that the king is most concerned about the queen, but this queen just doesn't care, making things difficult for them servants.
Mo Yunxuan nodded slightly and waved her hand lightly towards the edge of the table.
The people below hurriedly came forward to collect the scattered tables, and re-laid the dishes. Xia Zi Li raised her head, looking at the busy figures in front of her, one by one, delicate plates were placed down, dish after dish was arranged inside, but in her heart, anger surged.
The body leans forward, arms swing forcefully onto the table
"Get out, how many times must I tell you——"
At the same time as the sound fell, the dishes that had just been served were all pushed off the table, accompanied by a crisp and fragmented sound, and the ground was once again in disarray.
"The maid's face turned red and white, standing in place at a loss for what to do."
A brief silence, a sudden noise at the door
"Lan Ying! Go get me my whip!" The harsh voice made everyone in the scene jump in fright, their faces filled with alarm and trepidation.
Xia Zi suddenly lifted her head like a wake-up call, and saw a face as pale as iron, with perfect facial features carved like a sculpture, but covered with a layer of frost. The eyes were dark and cold, with large shadows shrouding the whole body, and a bad premonition rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Your Highness——" Blue Shadow, who had always obeyed his master's commands without question, knelt on the ground with a slight hesitation. He knew that his master had several whips, but those were for taming horses in the hunting grounds. The soft whip wouldn't cause any physical harm, but it was the most painful one to be hit with among all the whips. One strike would make even a horse unbearable, let alone the delicate and weak princess before him. "Please reconsider——"
Faintly sincere tone, Mo Yunxuan's sharp eyes had a slight clarity.
"Your Highness, Your Highness. Don't..." Zi'er's face turned pale in an instant, she knelt down, and she had already understood the prince's meaning. Anxiously grasping Xia Ziyu's arm, she pushed him away with force, her eyes shining brightly.
"Miss... Hurry up and apologize to Master Wang..."
Xia Zi Li simply turned her head in annoyance, without saying a word.
Mo Yunxuan's expression turned even darker, his face sinking.
"Bring the whip to Ben Wang——!"
A stern voice, an unquestionable tone, and everyone else dared not speak again
The blue shadow's eyebrows slightly furrowed, but there was no way out, so he briefly responded with a "yes" and quickly got up to leave.
Xia Zi's eyes watched as the blue figure disappeared behind the tall and majestic back at the door. In that instant, her eyes fluttered restlessly, her face gradually turning pale. She didn't know what was waiting for her, saying she wasn't afraid would be a lie.
"Grandpa—"
On the tray, a long black whip, Xia Ziyou's face changed as soon as he saw it.
Mo Yunxuan's robust and powerful hand grasped over
He took a few steps towards Xia Ziluo, without any hesitation, and lifted her small body from the stool to the ground with one hand, giving her a severe whipping.
"Crack!" The long whip, like a venomous snake, tightly wrapped around the body with great elasticity and strength, then suddenly pulled out a deep and profound lash mark.
Even before she could cry out, the searing pain from the impact spread inch by inch around her, fiercely, fiercely devouring her consciousness.
It hurts... It really hurts...
She felt a sharp pain from her abdomen to her wrists, gradually spreading into her internal organs.
Next, he lashed out with a whip, one after another, without any sign of softening or stopping.
"Ah——" A long, trembling voice, a mournful cry beyond compare.
Xia Zi Li's entire body curled up on the ground, desperately trying to shrink back into the corner of the wall, still unable to escape the overwhelming flogging.
"No. No. Please. Don't anymore. Don't anymore."
