The little blood clan wants to eat every day

The hall of the main hall at this time.

Today is Monday, and according to the rules of the Crown Prince's ancestry, on Monday morning, each supervisor needs to report to the palace steward about the work schedule for the week, which is the routine "high-level weekly meeting".However, before the start of today's weekly meeting, the supervisors suddenly received a notice that a general assembly will be held in the main hall of the palace this morning, and all palace personnel including the supervisor must be present.

Steward Xue of the back kitchen immediately notified all the back kitchen staff after receiving the notification. Naturally, everyone did not dare to neglect, put down their work one after another, and hurriedly rushed to the main hall of the subordinate palace.

"It's been a long time since there was such a gathering of all the palace people." On the way, Qiu Ming curiously asked He Duo'er who was accompanying him, "Do you know why?"

After such a long time, various positions in the back kitchen have been slightly adjusted, and now Qiu Ming has become He Duo'er's work partner, and the relationship between the two is very good, He Duo'er shook his head when he heard this: "Well, it may be that His Royal Highness wants to announce Some important palace rule?"

"But when there was a change in the palace rules before, there was no request for a general assembly." Mrs. Susan said that she was still the deputy director of the back kitchen, and the news was very well-informed.

But even she didn't know the reason for this gathering, she just guessed a little, "I heard from Steward Xue that the request for this gathering was very sudden, maybe there was some unexpected incident."

A group of people hurried on their way while discussing, and soon came to the hall of the main hall. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not yet shown up, and standing at the front of the hall was the chief steward of the palace.

The respected old butler's expression was as usual, with a calm and composed demeanor, but like everyone else, he was also confused about the reason for this gathering-His Royal Highness just told him to call all the palace people to the main hall. , I didn't say a word of extra words.

The palace people who came from all directions of the subordinate palace quickly stood in line, and the spacious hall of the main hall quickly quieted down. Everyone waited patiently. Not long after, a side door in front of the main hall opened and someone walked in.

There is no doubt that the person who can walk out of this door leading directly to the Prince's bedroom is naturally His Royal Highness.

When it was indeed Lu Xing who came, the palace attendants immediately raised their chests and raised their heads with serious expressions, trying to greet their master with the best appearance.A few Xingong people who had never seen His Highness the Crown Prince even stood on tiptoe slightly, holding their breath and staring.

And in the next second, these Xingong people were all stunned - not only His Highness the Crown Prince walked out of that door, but also a beautiful young man with red lips and white teeth, a face they had never seen before.

Who is this?

Look at the young man's attire, he is definitely not an ordinary servant, and His Royal Highness has never had a personal servant; thinking of the two distinguished guests of the Green Empire staying in the side hall, many Xingong people thought that this might be where it came from of new guests.

The old palace people didn't think so - many people were astonished and stunned, Mrs. Susan and He Duo'er covered their mouths in disbelief, Qiu Ming took a step forward and shouted out in surprise.

"Little Su!"

It was Su Ke who followed Lu Xingshi to the hall.In fact, he didn't know what Lu Xingshi was going to do. Even before the door was opened, he heard a large group of people standing in the hall, and he almost turned around and left - there was a big morning meeting here, why did he come here to get involved!

However, Lu Xingshi kept saying that Su Ke must be present for this matter. Su Ke was skeptical, and finally agreed reluctantly: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's come in and have a look."

Of course, Su Ke heard Qiu Ming's excited shout from below, but due to the current situation, he couldn't run over immediately, so he could only cross the crowd and smile at Qiu Ming and the others.

At this time, Lu Xingshi had already reached the center of the high platform. As soon as the owner of the palace stood still, the commotional crowd below immediately quieted down.

"Everyone was called here today for an old case."

Lu Xingshi spoke slowly, his solemn voice spread throughout the hall and fell into the ears of everyone present.

"Four years ago, specifically, three years and ten months ago, I imprisoned a palace official in the dungeon of the palace for the crime of "disrespect", and exiled him to a remote place a week later. Extreme cold star. "

Su Ke was startled. He didn't expect Lu Xingshi to bring up this matter again. When he looked at Lu Xing, he happened to see that the other person was also looking at him. The cold golden eyes of that person were full of extremely complicated emotions, and he felt guilty. There is regret, there is pain, and there is determination.

Lu Xingshi turned his attention to all the people in the palace again, facing everyone's astonished eyes, and calmly narrated his crimes.

"Today, I'm here to tell everyone who knew about the matter back then - this is an unjust case of torture. The so-called disrespect is completely unwarranted. The situation at the time was that I became angry and forcibly It was me, not him, who was guilty of that palace man. According to the imperial law, I should make a public apology to the victim, and at the same time accept six months to three years of imprisonment/imprisonment, or receive thirty to one hundred whipping. I will not escape my guilt and accept all punishment willingly."

He turned around and walked steadily in front of Su Ke. Amid the unbelievable exclamations of everyone, he knelt down on one knee and half-kneeled in front of the young man.

"Mr. Su Ke, I want to sincerely apologize to you." Lu Xingshi raised his head, with a solemn expression, staring deeply into the man's eyes.

"Because of me, you suffered an indiscriminate disaster. Not only was your reputation damaged, you were exiled to the extreme cold star for more than eight months, and you even... suffered a series of things later. I deeply regret what I did, and Willing to give everything to make up for the great harm that experience caused you."

Lu Xingshi touched his chest with one hand, and bowed his head deeply to the young man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, Su Ke."

This is the highest standard of apology etiquette in the Noah Empire, but few nobles use it, let alone the prince of the empire, just kneel down on one knee in full view and bow his head deeply to an ordinary civilian—this kind of thing , It is absolutely unprecedented and unheard of.

Su Ke stared blankly at the person in front of him. After a long time, he stretched out a hand.

Allowing the other party to kiss the hand means that the person is willing to accept the apology and forgive him.

"I accept your apology." Su Ke said softly.

"I am willing to forgive you, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Lu Xingshi's eyes shone brightly. He pressed the emotion in his heart, gently took the left hand extended by the young man, and bent down on the back of the other's white hand like a devout believer, and kissed him.

-

After the assembly was over, all the palace people left the main hall one after another, leaving only Su Ke and Lu Xingshi in the hall.

But even through a door, you can still hear the voices of people talking outside. After all, what happened this morning was so amazing that it almost refreshed everyone's cognition. It is conceivable that after this incident spread, It is bound to cause an uproar in the outside world.

"You actually don't need to engage in such a big fight." Su Ke moved her eyes back from the palace people outside the window, and when she looked at Lu Xing, "As long as it is sincere, there is no difference between a private apology and a public apology. It caused a lot of trouble."

Su Ke even wanted to say that the process of apologizing or not is actually not important, because after he woke up.

No matter what he learned from other people, or what he experienced and saw with his own eyes, Lu Xingshi really regretted what happened back then, and he paid a huge price to make up and restore it. He himself has changed a lot. He used to act recklessly , Arrogant and arbitrary, I don't know what respect is; but now, it seems that he has washed away the sharpness and impetuosity all over his body, and he has really settled down, and he is more like a mature superior.

These little changes have already surpassed a pale "I'm sorry". Without a truly repentant heart, Lu Xingshi himself would never have such a transformation.

"Of course there is a difference between a private apology and a public apology." Lu Xingshi said disapprovingly, "That incident was widely circulated in the palace, and I caused them to misunderstand you. Such a serious misunderstanding must be seriously clarified. And I have also said that according to the imperial law, you are the victim of this "unjust case". A public apology is one of the punishment procedures that I must perform, and I will follow the follow-up procedures. "

The more Su Ke heard it, the more something was wrong, and finally interrupted the other party directly: "Wait, you don't really intend to accept prison/imprisonment or whipping?"

"Why not?" Lu Xingshi frowned slightly, as if he felt that this question was very strange, "I have made a public promise, and everyone is a witness, and I can't go back on my word."

"But I have accepted the apology and forgive you..."

"Is there a conflict here? An apology is an apology, and a punishment is a punishment. If you can get away with punishment as long as you get the understanding of the person concerned, why do you need a prison?"

Su Ke twitched the corner of her mouth: "If you are in jail, how will you handle your official duties?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingshi nodded, "So I can only choose caning. I asked the people in the Prison Department that I need to receive at least [-] lashes in this situation, and it can be over in two hours." He looked at it Wristwatch, "I have asked the people from the prison department to wait in the execution room, do you want to come together?"

Su Ke has a headache.

He can see that this time Lu Xingshi is serious. This guy is stubborn and has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder. I am afraid that he has to go through a complete set of procedures to feel complete. If he doesn't take a few whips, he may feel uncomfortable in his heart. .

But caning sounds fast, but it is actually more terrifying than imprisonment. The special kind of whip is very painful on people. Many people would rather sit in prison for a few more years than receive another whip, let alone forty whips. , Many people only suffer four lashes, and they will be in such pain that they don't want to get out of bed for a week.

Su Ke thought for a while and said, "Since you decide to accept the punishment, I won't stop you, but it's unnecessary to be whipped or imprisoned. The means of punishment should at least make the victim feel happy, right? If you do this, I will It won't feel so good, and it won't do me any good, hum, it's better to have something more affordable."

This statement is correct, Lu Xingshi humbly asked for advice: "What do you want more affordable?"

"Well, I have to think about it." Su Ke rubbed her chin and smiled slyly, "Hey, I'm sure I'll kill you anyway, so just wait tremblingly!"
