Sheng Jing'an was forced to kneel outside the south gate, in full view of everyone, with no privacy at all.

The news quickly spread to all the princes' mansions and official mansions.

Yan Ming, who originally stayed in the palace waiting for news, thought Sheng Jing'an could ask something from Yan Donghuang, but what he didn't expect was the news that he was punished to kneel. He was stunned for a moment.

"Sheng Jing'an was punished by kneeling?" He stared at the attendant who reported the news, almost unbelieving, "Yan Donghuang punished him personally?"

"yes."

Yan Ming's expression darkened little by little, the corners of his mouth tightened, and the hands hanging by his sides slowly clenched.

What exactly is Yan Donghuang doing?

His temperament suddenly changed drastically. Could it be that he was possessed by something?

His face was ugly, and he walked slowly thinking about what happened in the past few days.

Except for the fact that the father suddenly became furious because of the prince's filth in the harem, and even fell into a coma due to the rage, no other unexpected situation seemed to have occurred.

Yan Donghuang went to greet his mother and concubine a few days ago, and her tone was gentle when talking to her. After all, she had always been an indifferent and distant character, and was not used to being too close to others.

Yan Ming could tell her emotional changes and was sure that Yan Donghuang was normal yesterday, but today he seemed to be a different person...

Did the father say something to her?

Before her father left her alone, everything was as usual. What on earth did her father say to her that caused her attitude to change drastically?

Yan Ming's eyes darkened and he turned to look at the attendant: "Is there any news from the palace?"

The attendant respectfully replied: "The people on duty at the palace gate are all Qingluan troops. Even if Concubine De has something to explain, it will be difficult for her to tell it."

Yan Ming looked worried: "Has Yan Donghuang returned home?"

"The eldest princess has just returned home."

Yan Ming gently closed his eyes. Now he could only use bitter tactics to find out for himself the reason for Yan Donghuang's sudden change of attitude.

Raising his hand to take the whip hanging on the wall, Yan Ming turned around and walked out: "Prepare your horse, I will go to the eldest princess's mansion."

"yes."

Yan Ming carried a whip on his back, dismissed his attendants, and rode alone to the eldest princess's mansion. After the order was announced, he was quickly led to the front hall of the eldest princess's mansion.

Yan Donghuang sat in the hall drinking tea.

Yan Ming walked into the front hall slowly, wearing a silver fox fur cloak wrapped around his tall body, which made his whole person look elegant and noble.

No matter whether they are familiar with him or not, when they first see a man like Yan Ming, they will not think that he is a narrow-minded, selfish and vicious person.

People cannot be judged by their appearance.

This sentence is truly a wise saying.

"Donghuang." Yan Ming looked at Yan Donghuang with gentle and lonely eyes, as if he was facing a child who suddenly lost his temper. Even his tone was self-blame and helpless, "Brother Wei is here to apologize to you. "

Yan Donghuang took a sip of tea and said, "What's the crime?"

Yan Ming lowered his eyes, with a sad and guilty look on his face: "Brother failed to supervise the Chu family well, which caused my uncle to embezzle a huge amount of money. This was caused by brother's negligence, and brother cannot excuse himself."

After saying that, Yan Ming knelt down on one knee and handed over the black whip with both hands: "I apologize for carrying the thorn for my brother, and I will punish myself."

Yan Donghuang glanced at the whip in his hand and said nothing.

Feng Yaoguang, who came in with him, raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Yan Donghuang calmly.

Is King Jing planning to use a bitter trick?

"Brother, I can't imagine how many things my uncle did behind the embezzlement of so much money that he shouldn't have done, and how many people who had no real talent or even bad character were put in positions they shouldn't have done by selling their official positions. "On the seat." Yan Ming lowered his head and smiled bitterly, "Although some people always say, 'If the water is clear, there will be no fish.' As long as my uncle has outstanding abilities, I should turn a blind eye, but I never expected that my uncle's appetite would It’s so big, and the amount of money they made without my back has reached a staggering level.”

Feng Yaoguang looked at Yan Ming without saying a word, with a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth.

This acting doesn't seem to be very good.

It was obviously an admission of mistake, but it had to be mixed with a little bit of shirk, and there was no sincerity at all.

"Brother Emperor, do you know that half of the money that Chu Shangshu embezzled came from the food and grass for the soldiers on the battlefield in recent years?" Yan Donghuang said indifferently, "The war was a waste of people and money, and consumed the national treasury, but Chu Shangshu was paying attention to the soldiers. When he was desperately killing the enemy, he secretly deducted money, embezzled military pay, and lied about the accounts in court. This is a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven! "

Yan Ming's expression suddenly changed, and then he lowered his eyes: "It's because of my brother's mistake..."

"I originally wanted to support the second emperor brother to sit on the throne, but the second emperor brother stayed in the capital all year round and failed to notice that Chu Shangshu embezzled food and grass and sold his official position and title. I am really disappointed." Yan Donghuang said in a tone of voice. He said coldly, "If the Second Emperor really feels that he has been negligent and brought a whip himself, if I do not punish him, I will be accused of being biased."

Yan Ming's expression froze, and his hand holding the whip tightened unconsciously.

"I am the Crown Prince now. I am different from the Second Emperor Brother as a monarch and a minister. I am not unqualified to punish you." Yan Donghuang said, turning around and giving instructions, "Yao Guang, the Second Emperor Brother is of high status, and it is inevitable for others to do it." His identity is up to you."

"Yes." Feng Yaoguang stepped forward, took the whip from Yan Ming's hand, and looked at Yan Donghuang, "Your Highness, how much should I whip?"

Yan Donghuang looked at Yan Ming calmly, "Brother The Second Emperor knows very well how guilty Chu Shangshu is and how serious his negligence is. How much do you think the punishment should be?"

Yan Ming's complexion was green and white, looking embarrassed and embarrassed.

He didn't expect Yan Donghuang to actually punish him.

He is the prince, her brother, and she wants to whip him, a prince of high status, in front of her generals?

"Your Highness King Jing." Feng Yaoguang's eyes fell on his face, her tone was respectful and polite, "I wonder what the appropriate punishment is?"

Yan Ming suppressed the gloomy look in his eyes: "Beat Donghuang until he calms down."

Yan Donghuang took a sip of tea: "Since the second emperor brother said so, let's do it. I am chilled by the matter of Chu Shangshu's embezzlement of military pay, and I am even more disappointed by the fact that the second emperor brother failed to observe. If there is no punishment, it will be difficult to get rid of me. The anger in my heart.”

That Feng Yaoguang is not polite.

Although it was a crime to whip the prince, who asked King Jing to take the initiative to send him to be beaten?

Moreover, there is a difference between the monarch and his ministers. It is indeed reasonable for the prince to punish the prince who has neglected his duties.

What's more, the Qingluan army surrounded the palace.

The eldest princess is now only one step away from ascending the throne.

She was unhappy and naturally wanted to vent her anger.

Feng Yaoguang picked up the whip and was about to strike it when he saw Yan Ming wearing a thick cloak. He paused slightly and said, "The cloak on His Highness King Jing is quite expensive. It's a pity that it's broken. Please take it off."

Yan Ming froze, and the hands hanging by his sides slowly clenched.

"Prince Jing is asking for forgiveness on his own. If you feel aggrieved, you can leave on your own." Feng Yaoguang said calmly, "Don't make it look like the eldest princess is deliberately bullying you."

Yan Ming looked up at Yan Donghuang and pursed his lips: "If a beating can help you calm down, then I deserve it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to take off his cloak and handed it to a guard next to him.

Feng Yaoguang picked up the whip and whipped it down. Yan Ming turned pale with one whip.

Yan Donghuang looked at this scene with cold eyes, a thick layer of frost covering his eyebrows.

cool down?

Where did this go?

The hatred of being betrayed in his previous life swept over him, invaded his bone marrow, and spread to his limbs and bones.

She wished she could kill Yan Ming alive here.

But now is not the time.

After resurrecting her life, the betrayal and frame-up in her previous life had not happened yet, so she had no reason to get rid of Yan Ming and Sheng Jing'an for the time being.

In the eyes of outsiders, one of them is her childhood sweetheart fiancé, and the other is the royal brother who takes good care of her. They trust each other and have a deep relationship.

If she suddenly turned against them, it would definitely arouse suspicion, and there would be no defensible reason.

But if you want to take revenge on a person, killing him is not the only way.

Cutting off their wings bit by bit, causing them to lose everything they care about, and become unable to resist, and slowly become trapped beasts of despair, would it be able to make up for the piercing pain in her heart when she was betrayed?

A painful groan suddenly sounded.

Yan Donghuang's eyes turned slightly and fell on Yan Ming's pale face. He saw that his face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead, and he had a painful and forbearing expression.

It can be seen that Feng Yaoguang showed no mercy.

"Second Emperor Brother, I am very disappointed in you." Yan Donghuang stepped forward, slowly squatted down in front of him, and frowned at him, "Chu Shangshu is an important minister of the Yong Dynasty, and the military pay he withheld was from the border officers. life."

Yan Ming frowned and his voice trembled slightly: "Donghuang, it's my brother's fault. If you calm down, can you...can you ask your father to forgive me?"
