The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 130 - 79: Trip to Yuzhou (1) Venting_3
Chapter 130: Chapter 79: Trip to Yuzhou (1) Venting_3
"Move aside!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice grew louder.
Ye Qichi’s expression was also not good-looking.
She charged directly at Xiao Jinxing, trying to snatch the rabbit from his hands.
Naturally, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t allow it.
He exerted force.
Feeling the pain, the rabbit squealed.
Ye Qichi gritted her teeth, "Xiao Jinxing, I can agree to anything else you ask, but this rabbit, I must have it back!"
"You dare to threaten me."
"I am threatening you!"
"How bold, Ye Qichi, don’t you believe..."
"Believe!" Ye Qichi interrupted Xiao Jinxing’s words directly, "I believe whatever you say, but now, return the rabbit to me!"
Xiao Jinxing looked at Ye Qichi coldly.
Just for a rabbit that Gu Xingchuan had given her, she was actually defying him like this!
"Someone come!" Xiao Jinxing ordered with a shout.
Other than Xiao Wu, several guards in the prince’s residence knelt before Xiao Jinxing.
"The Princess below has committed insubordination, has not maintained proper conduct, administer twenty caning strikes!"
As the words fell.
Everyone present was shocked.
Xiao Wu couldn’t help but speak up, "Prince, the Princess was just anxious for a moment..."
"Whoever pleads, shall be punished together!" Xiao Jinxing enunciated each word clearly.
Lu You’s words that had reached her lips, she dared not speak anymore.
"Hit me if you will." Ye Qichi said word by word, "But I must have the rabbit back!"
"You are not in a position to negotiate terms with me."
"Fine." Ye Qichi sneered coldly, "Then there’s also no need to discuss the matter of going to Yuzhou."
Xiao Jinxing’s complexion became obviously uglier.
"I would rather die than go!" Ye Qichi gnashed her teeth, her words clear and distinct.
Xiao Jinxing clenched his fists, anger reaching its limits.
His gaze turned, "Why have you not started!"
The guards hastily went to prepare the punishment tools.
Soon, a long wooden bench and two large planks appeared in the courtyard.
Ye Qichi watched Xiao Jinxing like this.
Xiao Jinxing also looked back at her coldly.
Xiao Wu went to Ye Qichi’s side and whispered, "Princess, just yield a bit, at least give the Prince a way to step down..."
Ye Qichi offered a sarcastic laugh.
Would yielding stop the caning?!
Xiao Jinxing has never been that kind-hearted of a person.
She walked towards the wooden bench.
Laid down.
Xiao Jinxing’s fists clenched tightly, his bones making a creaking sound.
"Hit!" commanded Xiao Jinxing.
The guards had no choice but to lift the planks and bludgeon down, one strike after another.
Lu You watched from the side, her heart quaking in fear.
With every hit, it felt like the Princess’s flesh was being mashed.
"Prince, this servant begs you to stop, please no more..." After five strikes, Lu You could no longer hold back.
She crawled kneeling to Xiao Jinxing’s front, ceaselessly bowing her head, "If you must hit someone, hit this servant, don’t hit the Princess anymore!"
Xiao Jinxing glanced at Lu You.
Then turned back to watch Ye Qichi, enduring the plank’s blows with gritted teeth.
Xiao Wu was also beside them, worried beyond measure.
"Stop!" Xiao Jinxing suddenly spoke up.
Ye Qichi, bearing the intense pain, lay powerless on the wooden bench.
"Hitting you was to warn you, I am not someone to be provoked!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice was cold, devoid of any emotion, "Not hitting you is to avoid affecting the journey the day after tomorrow. Ye Qichi, you’d better have some self-awareness!"
Having said that.
Xiao Jinxing threw the rabbit in front of Ye Qichi.
He threw it quite forcefully.
But it was not enough to be fatal.
The rabbit rolled on the ground and then got up.
Seemingly sensing danger, it hurriedly ran away.
"Xiao Wu, push me back!" Xiao Jinxing ordered.
Xiao Wu hurriedly pushed the Prince away.
In his heart, he prayed for an early departure.
To avoid another altercation.
Everyone left the small courtyard.
Lu You hurried to Ye Qichi’s side, "Princess, how are you? Why must you provoke the Prince like this? No matter how powerless he is, he is still the Prince! All officials, both civil and military, must bow and kneel to him."
Ye Qichi lay on the wooden bench, not speaking.
Although just eight strikes had been administered, the pain was so intense that she could hardly speak.
She really didn’t know why Xiao Jinxing was going mad today.
Of course, she didn’t think it was out of jealousy.
How much he liked Bai Mowan was something she was all too clear about.
Therefore, in matters of the heart, she never had any expectations of Xiao Jinxing.
Perhaps it was just his pride acting up.
That Wu Xufan guy must have said something to irritate Xiao Jinxing today.
And to think she had kindly wanted to bring him and Xiao Hezhen together sooner.
From today on, Wu Xufan, you can wait for Xiao Hezhen to torment you to death!
Ye Qichi bit her teeth, trying to stand up.
Lu You quickly went to support her, "Princess, can you still walk?!"
