Following Eunuch Feng's order, the punishment stick hit Su Lingyue's thin buttocks hard. The intense pain made Su Lingyue groan.

The second time.

The pain of torn skin and flesh caused Su Lingyue's fingers to leave several bloody marks on the bench.

The third time.

It hurt so much that I could hardly breathe, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

Fourth time.

"Miss!"

When Su Lingyue heard Caidie Caiyi's crying, her attention was diverted and it seemed that the pain was not so severe anymore.

……

Gradually, Su Lingyue's buttocks became numb from the pain, and her clothes were wet and stuck to her body.

The wet area gradually expanded, and the sweat on her forehead slid into her eyes, stinging her eyes so much that she couldn't open them, so she simply closed her eyes.

The queen closed her eyes and listened to the dull thud of the cane hitting flesh in the yard. Her nails pinched her arms hard and dug into them, and blood flowed down her fingers to the ground.

It hurts.

But it’s not even one tenth of the moon!

All she could do was to accompany Yue'er in pain.

Apart from that, there was nothing she could do.

"Empress!" Eunuch Wan inadvertently saw the blood on the Queen's hand and couldn't help but cry out in fright.

The emperor's gaze shifted to the queen, and the moment he saw the blood, his leisurely gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Queen! What are you doing?!"

The queen still closed her eyes in pain, tears kept falling, and her voice trembled, "Your Majesty, don't worry about me. This is what I deserve!"

Hearing this, the emperor did not look at the queen again, but said to Eunuch Wan: "Call the imperial physician."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Eunuch Wan left, the emperor heard the sound of the punishment stick hitting his body, Su Lingyue's groans, and the crying of Su Lingyue's maid outside.

He leisurely picked up the teacup, took a sip, and was in a particularly good mood.

"Miss! Miss! Wake up!"

There were screams of surprise from colorful butterflies and colorful clothes outside, and the queen suddenly opened her eyes.

At this time, Eunuch Feng came running in from outside, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the princess has fainted, should we continue?"

The emperor looked relaxed and contented, and asked with a smile: "How much is it?"

Eunuch Feng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, twenty times."

The emperor sneered, "You can't even stand this, don't be pretending! Keep going after you wake up!"

Eunuch Feng turned and looked at the Queen.

The queen opened her eyes wide, staring at the emperor in a daze, her body trembling slightly.

Seeing that the Queen did not say anything, Eunuch Feng bowed and left the hall.

Not long after, the muffled groaning sound was heard again.

The emperor raised a smug smile and tapped the table with his fingers in rhythm with the cane.

"Don't regret it! Don't regret it..."

The emperor frowned and turned to look at the queen, only to see her looking at the door with a painful expression and muttering constantly.

"Queen!"

The emperor scolded.

But the queen did not react at all and kept repeating this sentence.

"Miss!!"

"Stop it! All of you stop it!"

The cries of colorful butterflies and colorful clothes rang out!

Seeing that the sound of the cane had stopped, the emperor frowned unhappily and said coldly: "If he faints, just throw it until he wakes up and continue!"

Eunuch Feng appeared at the door tremblingly, "Your Majesty, this is not good..."

The emperor asked coldly, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Feng said cautiously, "The princess lost a lot of blood and fainted... I wonder if she had... a miscarriage."

Hearing this, the queen, who was kneeling on the ground, could no longer sit still. She stood up and stumbled towards the door.

When she reached the door, she saw Su Lingyue with her hands tied, lying on a bench.

Her face was pale, cold sweat was dripping from her forehead, and she had lost consciousness.

Colorful butterflies and colorful clothes were calling Su Lingyue in front of her.

What shocked her the most was that Su Lingyue's clothes on her buttocks were bright red, and blood kept dripping from the bench, flowing to the ground, and gathering into a large pool.

This is definitely not the amount of bleeding from a flesh wound!

"Untie!"

Without the emperor's order, everyone stood there and dared not move!

"I order you to untie them, don't you understand?"

The queen scolded, but the imperial guards and eunuchs remained motionless, kneeling there with their heads lowered.

"Untie her!"

The emperor finally spoke. Perhaps because he felt that something was unusual, he walked out of the hall to check the situation outside.

When he saw the blood on the ground, he was also shocked.

He wanted to vent his anger, make Xiao Yu feel powerless, make him lose hope, break his will, and thus surrender his military command.

It wasn't like he was cornering a wolf.

After receiving the order, the eunuchs began to untie Su Lingyue.

The queen rushed over and hugged Su Lingyue, shouting, "Imperial Physician! Go find the Imperial Physician!"

"Doctor Zhang, take a look at him!" the emperor ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

After receiving the emperor's order, Doctor Zhang quickly walked to Su Lingyue's side and began to take her pulse.

The queen looked at Doctor Zhang anxiously, her voice trembling, "How is it? Is it... a miscarriage?"

Doctor Zhang frowned and replied, "Your Majesty, the princess did not have a miscarriage, it's just..."

"Just what!" the queen asked anxiously.

Doctor Zhang let go of his pulse-feeding hand and said, "Princess, you are menstruating now. You have been severely injured and your uterus is damaged. You may not be able to get pregnant in the future."

The Queen roared when she heard this, "Heal me! If you can't cure me, I will kill you!"

Doctor Zhang knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please calm down. We will do our best. Please allow me to give the princess acupuncture. If the bleeding is not stopped, she will probably bleed to death."

"You all stand down!"

The queen did not dare to delay any longer and ordered the imperial guards and eunuchs beside her to retreat.

After making room for Imperial Doctor Zhang, he began to give acupuncture to Su Lingyue.

The emperor returned to the palace, clenched his hands on the throne, and stared at the ground.

That's good, let Xiao Yu see what he can do!

Give him another eight days. If he still refuses to hand over the military command, let them die together.

This should be considered a warning!

Doctor Zhang pulled out the last silver needle from Lingyue's arm, felt her pulse, and said to the queen respectfully, "Your Majesty, the bleeding has stopped, but the injury is serious. We need to apply medicine to the princess as soon as possible."

The queen frowned and nodded, "Come here! Carry the person to Kunning Palace!"

Hearing this, Caiyi didn't care about being sad, and told the queen what Su Lingyue meant, "Your Majesty, the young lady has said that she needs to go back for treatment!"

The queen thought about it and decided that it would be better for her to leave. If she stayed in the palace, she didn't know how the emperor would use her.

In the palace, at least you don't have to worry all the time.

"Doctor Zhang, take the best medicine back with you to Princess Su!"

Doctor Zhang bowed and hurried back to the Imperial Hospital.

Doctor Zhang took some top-quality medicinal herbs and gave them to Caidie Caiyi.

The queen covered Su Lingyue with a fox fur cloak to cover her face, and then had the eunuchs carry her into the palace's carriage.

Now standing on the city wall, looking at the carriage going away, the queen's heart felt as if it were pierced by thousands of arrows.

She has endured this kind of life for more than 20 years and doesn't want to endure it anymore!

"He Dexian, summon the Crown Prince to the palace!"

Eunuch He bowed and said, "I obey your command!"
