Huang Ying cried out in fear when she realized that Yinshan Beining was serious about this.

She looked at Eji and begged him to save her: "Cousin, please save Ying'er. Ying'er really knows she is wrong. Please plead for Ying'er."

Eji looked towards Yinshan Beining again. He wanted to say a few words for his cousin.

But before he could open his mouth, Yinshan Beining interrupted him.

"Why, the Minister of Justice wants to commit a crime for his fiancée?"

"Or did Huang Ying mean to deceive me by saying that I will handle it as I wish?"

No matter which of these two sentences it was, the blame was too much for Eji to bear.

Eji looked at the cold Yinshan Beining and knew that her cousin could not escape the beating.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Huang Ying who asked him for help, and shook his head helplessly.

Huang Ying saw that even her cousin's intervention was of no avail, and she knew that she could not escape the beating today.

She thought to herself: Since I can't avoid it, I might as well take the beating obediently and make Eji feel even more guilty about herself.

Even if I was really disfigured, even if Eji was unwilling, she would have to marry me in the end.

Huang Ying, who had already found a way out for herself, pretended to be strong and raised her pale face.

Facing the guilty Eji, she said, "Cousin, Ying'er caused this disaster herself, so she should bear the responsibility herself."

"Ying'er was confused and almost got my cousin into trouble."

"It's okay for Ying'er to be punished, but if she gets her cousin into trouble, then Ying'er will really regret it."

"Cousin, if Ying'er's appearance is really damaged, you should find another good match."

After saying that, Huang Ying turned her head away with a look of heartache, and looked up at Yinshan Beining: "Princess, I am responsible for my own actions. Please don't blame my cousin, he is a responsible and good man."

"He's just afraid of me..."

Before she could finish her nonsense, Yinshan Beining in front of her had already lost her patience.

"Huang Ying, I advise you to put away your cleverness. I am not your stupid cousin."

"If you can't do it yourself, I can find someone to help you."

Huang Ying looked at Yinshan Beining who was smiling meaningfully, gritted her teeth, raised her hand and slapped herself hard.

Rather than being beaten by others, it is better to do it yourself, at least there is some sense of propriety.

While slapping herself, she cursed Yinshan Beining in her heart: Bitch, I really underestimated you. I would suffer such a big loss at your hands.

But don't be too complacent. When I get back, I will make sure you are ruined!

I could drive you back to your fiefdom three years ago, and I will definitely be able to do so three years later.

No, I will let you marry a foreign prince, be tortured like a pig or a dog, and fall into the abyss of pain.

Huang Ying's vicious thoughts were all heard word for word by Xu Zhoujiao who was sitting at the altar.

Xu Zhoujiao flipped through her fate book and sneered: Oh, I didn’t realize that you are also a good palace fighter.

It would be a great injustice to leave you in Kyoto. Since you have such great ability, why not send you to marry?

Huang Ying, I will set up the stage for you, and the rest depends on how you sing.

Following Huang Ying's tenth slap.

The corners of her mouth were broken, and her originally fair cheeks were covered with crimson finger marks.

The pair of affectionate eyes, against the backdrop of the wound on her cheek, made her look helpless and pitiful, and the pilgrims watching over her felt sorry for her.

Just as Huang Ying gritted her teeth and was about to continue slapping, a big hand grabbed her wrist.

When Huang Ying saw Eji take action, a hint of joy flashed through her heart.

She pretended to look at her wrist in confusion, then slowly turned her head and looked at the person who grabbed her wrist.

Eji looked at her cousin's miserable face and eyes full of pain, and the guilt and pity in her heart reached its peak.

He hugged Huang Ying distressedly, stroked her head, and comforted her softly: "Okay, don't hit her anymore, your cousin will protect you, don't hit yourself anymore."

Yinshan Beining looked at Huang Ying with disdain, as she still put on an act even after being beaten into this state.

He rolled his eyes fiercely at the two people who were hugging each other.

What bad luck.

I must have not checked the almanac before going out today. Otherwise, how could I have seen such a disgusting scene.

Eji hugged Huang Ying tightly in her arms and pleaded with Yinshan Beining again: "Princess, please show mercy and let my cousin go."

No matter how sincere and humble Eji's attitude was, Yinshan Beining did not take him seriously.

"Why, the Minister of Justice regrets it?"

"Unfortunately, I am a princess and there is no room for changing what I have said!"

As she spoke, she looked at Chen Yuanlin standing aside and signaled, "Yuanlin, drag the man out and continue beating him!"

Hearing that Yinshan Beining still refused to let her cousin go, Eji hugged her tightly, fearing that she would be dragged away:

"Beining, do you really have to beat her to death?"

"It's just a misunderstanding, why are you holding on to it? When did you become so cold-blooded and heartless?"

Hearing Eji's accusations against Yinshan Beining.

Chen Yuanlin was furious.

He raised his leg and kicked directly at Eji's shoulder, knocking Eji to the ground.

Eji was holding Huang Ying in her arms, and was kicked unexpectedly, causing the two of them to roll on the ground.

Huang Ying's cheek was rubbed painfully by the collar of her clothes.

Chen Yuanlin took the opportunity to grab Huang Ying's arm and pull her out of Eji's arms.

He slapped Huang Ying hard before she could stand firmly.

Huang Ying, who was already dizzy, was slapped by the whistling slap, and her eyes were full of stars and her mouth and nose were bleeding.

Eji looked at Huang Ying, who was beaten like a shabby doll in Chen Yuanlin's hands.

The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed!

Eji clenched her back teeth, clenched her fists, and somersaulted, punching Chen Yuanlin.

Chen Yuanlin sneered and threw Huang Ying in his hand directly towards Eji's fist.

Eji looked at her cousin coming towards her and quickly retracted her fist, but was hit by Huang Ying.

Huang Ying's cheek hit Eji's arm heavily.

Not long ago, she praised my arms for being as hard as a rock and giving me a sense of security.

But now it has become the source of aggravating her injuries.

Eji looked at Chen Yuanlin who was humiliating her again and again, and said to Yinshan Beining who was watching coldly on the side, "Princess, why did you choose to stand by and watch?"

"Don't you think you've been too indulgent with this guard?"

Hearing such ambiguous topics again, the onlookers turned their attention to Yinshan Beining and Chen Yuanlin again.

Try to see something in them.

As soon as Eji finished speaking, Chen Yuanlin grabbed her collar and dragged her up.

If you ask Chen Yuanlin what he hates the most in his life, it is that he cannot bear to hear anyone slander Yinshan Beining.

He punched Eji's abdomen again and again, and said in a cold tone: "Who allowed you to defile the princess like this!"

"Who gave you the courage to commit treason against the princess?"

Chen Yuanlin's attacks became more and more brutal each time, and the girl's stomach ached as if a knife was cutting into her.

Yinshan Beining looked at Chen Yuanlin, whose eyes had turned red and who had lost his mind.

She was afraid that he would beat her to death.

By then, their reason will become unreasonable.

She quickly stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and gently shook her head at him: "Yuan Lin, stop fighting."

"That's enough of a lesson for him."

Chen Yuanlin looked at Yinshan Beining's worried eyes and slowly let go of his hand.

As he loosened his grip, her bun could no longer hold up.

He knelt on the ground, curled up on the ground.

He looked up at Yinshan Beining and saw her looking at Chen Yuanlin with worry, and he felt an inexplicable heartache and jealousy in his heart.

How he wished Yinshan Beining could look at him with such eyes.

In fact, Eji regretted it the moment he said those words.

He didn't know what was wrong with him.

As soon as he thought of Yinshan Beining's unconditional indulgence of this guard, he lost all his reason.

But the words have been spoken and can never be taken back.

Because of self-blame, he did not resist at all when faced with Chen Yuanlin's punch.

He deserves this.

Yinshan Beining looked at Eji who had been severely beaten by Chen Yuanlin and Huang Ying who was in a dishevel.

I plan to just let the matter go.

She was afraid that if she didn't let them go, Chen Yuanlin would really torture them to death.

I'm afraid that by then, no matter how right she is, she won't be able to protect Chen Yuanlin.

Yinshan Beining held Chen Yuanlin tightly with one hand and flicked her wide sleeves at her bun with the other.

"Since you two have spoken rudely to me, I will give you a light punishment today and let you off the hook."

"I hope you will take this as a warning and be careful with your words and actions in the future! Do you understand?"

Hearing that I can leave.

Huang Ying, with swollen cheeks, climbed up, staggered to Eji's side, and helped him up.

"I see, Huang Ying has realized her mistake!"

"I will never do it again!"

She lowered her head in shame towards Yinshan Beining.

"My mind was in a mess today, and I committed a crime of disrespect to the princess."

"To show my repentance, I will go to the Ministry of Justice to receive fifty lashes as punishment."

Yinshan Beining saw that Eji was not too confused, so he nodded and indicated that they could leave.

Huang Ying supported her bun and took Xiaolan with her, staggering out of the main hall.

The crowd who were originally watching the fun, seeing Chen Yuanlin's unfriendly look, said they would control their mouths and walked out of the main hall in shame.

As soon as they were completely out of the main hall, they all ran away.

He was afraid that if he ran away too late, he would be caught by Chen Yuanlin and beaten up!
