Chapter 1553: Little Fatty Getting a Beating V
The empress turned pale. She angrily pushed aside the palace maids who were approaching to take her away as she said angrily, “Your Majesty. You really wish to beat Yue’er for Feng Lianyi’s sake?”
Qi Fang closed his eyes and opened them again after some time. “Empress, I thought that you would understand me…”
If he did not do so, when Tian Ya returned, he had no way of giving him an explanation.
Qi Fang saw the disbelief in the empress’ eyes but still hardened his heart and gave the orders. “Take the empress away and lock her up together with Qin’er in Feng Luan Palace. Don’t allow them to take even half a step out!”
Seeing the two palace maids continuing to approach her, the empress ruthlessly pushed them aside and shouted angrily. “Move aside. All of you, get lost!”
Qi Fang was slightly stunned. He turned his head sideways to look at the guards who were following closely behind him and gave them a look.
He looked toward the empress apologetically. “Empress, I have already given Yue’er a chance. We cannot continue to be so forgiving toward him. Otherwise, who knows what kind of disasters he will stir up?”
The two guards had very high cultivation. The two of them exchanged a glance and went over to grab the empress’s arms. No matter how much strength she used, she was unable to struggle out of their grasp.
“You all are not allow to touch Yue’er. Not allowed to touch him!”
Her body was trembling so much the golden hairpins in her head were already shaken out of place. Her hair was messy. She no longer had the propriety she had in the past and instead looked like a madman.
Noble Consort Lin, who was next to her, glanced at the empress and smiled smugly.
Even if the empress once received affection from the emperor, so what? Now… she still ended up like this.
Those guards had already dragged the little fatty away, and not long after, his wailing and sobbing could be heard.
Each sound that he made was like a thorn that ruthlessly stabbed into the empress’s heart. It made her eyes turn red as tears flowed out. Her entire being seemed to emit madness.
Qi Fang once again closed his eyes and tried his best not to listen to those sounds.
Although he had already ordered those people not to be too heavy-handed, he still needed to do this to show it to the people.
This time’s beating was also real.
Compared to Qi Fang’s heartache and the empress’s madness, there was a kind of indescribable happiness that other people felt in their hearts. If it wasn’t because of the empress’s feelings and His Majesty, they might have laughed aloud.
Amongst these people, Noble Consort Lin felt the most gleeful.
Qi Qin’er’s body crumbled to the ground as tears appeared in her eyes. Her small frame was trembling slightly.
“Girls have always been a little arrogant. Even if you have a little temper, it doesn’t matter. You can’t bow your head to anyone. You must hold your head high at all times.”
She was just about to lower her head when the young maiden’s warm voice appeared in her mind. She was slightly stunned and involuntarily raised her head as she climbed back up.
The two palace maids wanted to stop her, but this time, Qi Qin’er used all her strength to ruthlessly push away the two palace maids, not allowing them to touch her at all.
Even her face was full of arrogance. She raised her head and puffed out her chest. She looked proud.
She walked out the door. She was walking slowly, but each step felt like a step on Qi Fang’s heart.
“Qin’er?” When Qi Fang opened his eyes, he saw Qi Qin’er’s determined footsteps. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly called out to her.
“Younger Brother beat Feng Lianyi… because of me.”
She raised her head. The gentle breeze blew against her hair, like an arm, gently caressing her.
“However, I don’t think we have done anything wrong! He did all these to protect me. If Imperial Father really thinks that we were wrong, then I will accept the punishment together with my younger brother…”
