nChapter 1087 (Punishment)

nNot only Ye Juetian and Gong Yue thought this way.

nQian Yuqing also shared the same belief. For an ordinary person, a punishment of a hundred lashes is practically equivalent to death, especially for a young girl.

nYe Hua was trying to beat Yi Yi to death!

nAt this point, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi could do nothing. In this world, his Mother is the most respected person for Ye Hua. With such an incident, there is no room for any considerations.

nQian Yuqing wanted to speak out and persuade, but Qing Ya had just pleaded, only to receive Ye Hua's rebuke. Her status was far inferior to Qing Ya's, and speaking out would only provoke Ye Hua further. The relationship between them would become even more strained.

nYe Juetian clenched his fists tightly, his mind racing, trying to figure out how to help Yi Yi escape from this punishment of a hundred lashes!

nFor Ye Hua, daring to let his own family fall into crisis means even the God of Heaven can't save you! A hundred lashes! If you can still survive, I will keep you imprisoned until death. You better pray to heaven that I find a way to cure my mother; maybe that way, I can give you a speedy death!

n

"Take them away for the lashes!

" Ye Hua said coldly.

n

"Yes!

"

nDaji and Yi Yi were then taken outside. The palace maids who witnessed this were all dumbfounded, quickly kneeling down.

nJust now, they heard the Emperor roaring inside the room. It must be a significant event. Soon, two long benches were placed in the centre, and Ye Hua walked out, supervising the lashes personally.

nYe Juetian watched Yi Yi, feeling his mind in chaos.

n'For Yi Yi, one strike from these black-armoured warriors would be too much to bear! No, I must do something!'

nAt this moment, Daji and Yi Yi were on the benches.

nThe two black-armoured warriors held wooden boards, large and heavy, weighing around 50 pounds each!

nLifting such weight high and striking heavily, not many ordinary people could endure it.

nQing Ya thought of the ancient dramas she had seen. Why did some prisoners faint upon hearing about the beating with boards? The pain was beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

nThough the punishment of a hundred lashes might not sound terrifying, it had always been prevalent in ancient times, and there was a reason for it.

nThe palace maids brought two pieces of cloth, letting Yi Yi and Daji bite on them, fearing that they would bite their tongues off in pain.

nYe Juetian watched Yi Yi, her fragile body trembling on the bench. If he didn't intervene now, it might be too late!

nGong Yue didn't say anything. Yi Yi's death might be a good thing, preventing him from taking action.

nYi Yi dared not look at Ye Juetian because of shame. She indirectly caused trouble for Ye Ye's mother. She wanted to make Ye Ye and his mother proud of her, but she ended up causing so much trouble.

n

"Brother!

" Just as Yi Yi was immersed in self-blame, she suddenly heard Ye Ye's voice. Unable to help herself, she looked up and saw Ye Ye standing next to the Emperor.

nFor those who knew the inside story, Ye Juetian's actions were shocking. No one knew what Ye Juetian was planning to do!

nIs he going to plead for Yi Yi now? That will only anger Ye Hua more.

nGong Yue couldn't stop Ye Juetian at this moment. She just watched him provoke his older brother for the sake of this Yi Yi. Is she really that important? For her, you're willing to anger your elder brother!

nYe Hua looked at his younger brother with a cold gaze and asked indifferently,

"Pleading for mercy?

"

nWith Ye Hua's inquiry, the hearts of Qing Ya and others sank.

nQian Yuqing's breath became rapid. 'Little brother, don't act impulsively!'

n'If you plead now, Yi Yi is undoubtedly doomed. If she can endure it, there might be a slim chance of survival.'

n

"No!

" Ye Juetian's tone sounded very calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

nUpon hearing Ye Juetian's words, Ye Hua was slightly stunned.

nQing Ya and the others were also puzzled, wondering what Ye Juetian was up to.

n

"So, what do you want to do?

" Ye Hua asked calmly.

nYe Juetian bowed respectfully and said,

"This woman has harmed the safety of our mother. Such evil deeds are intolerable. I am extremely angry. I earnestly request my elder brother to allow me to carry out the execution!

"

nOnce Ye Juetian spoke, Gong Yue understood what he meant.

nQian Yuqing also understood. If the black-armoured warriors took action, there would be no mercy, but if Ye Juetian did it, Yi Yi would surely keep her life. However, even if she survived, it would be hanging by a thread.

nThe palace maids finally understood why. So, this enchanting woman had harmed the safety of Empress Dowager! Truly a deceitful person, daring to do such a thing. Seeing that even Prince Ye couldn't endure it, they wished to personally act and beat this enchanting woman to death! It was truly satisfying!

nAlthough Yi Yi knew Ye Ye was intentionally acting, hearing these words was still painful.

nTears of grievance fell from her eyes, splashing onto the ground like dust.

nYi Yi seemed as insignificant as this dust.

nYe Hua slowly closed his eyes, pondering for a few seconds, and then said calmly,

"Go ahead.

"

n

"Yes!

" Ye Juetian felt relieved inwardly but didn't show it. He walked down and stood beside Yi Yi, taking the wooden board from the black-armoured warrior.

nOnce he held it, Ye Juetian felt its weight. Would Yi Yi be able to bear it when he swung this board down? Even if he was acting, he needed to be careful; after all, his elder brother was watching.

n

"Yi Yi, endure it. I'll try to be gentle. You must endure it!!!

" Ye Juetian transmitted his voice to Yi Yi. As long as she endured this, there would still be a way to save her.

nYi Yi heard and nodded slightly.

n

"Let's begin!

" Ye Hua said coldly.

nYe Juetian raised the board high and then brought it down with a whistling wind.

nThud!

nTwo muffled sounds echoed.

nYi Yi instantly felt the pain, her eyes widened, and she made a

"um um um

" sound, shaking all over.

nThis was the result of Ye Juetian instantly reducing the force when he swung down, and also choosing to strike simultaneously with the one beside him. The two sounds rang out together, sounding almost indistinguishable.

nHowever, on Daji's side, there were only forty lashes!

nYe Hua remained silent, which also relieved Ye Juetian.

nSnap!

nWith the second board falling, cold sweat had already appeared on Yi Yi's forehead, and her silver teeth were tightly biting the cloth strip.

nThe entire sleeping chamber echoed with a dull sound, making it seem so helpless.

nDaji's forty lashes were quickly over, and she suffered no major harm.

n

"Go back and reflect!

" Ye Hua said coldly.

n

"Yes, Master.

" Daji also felt extremely remorseful in her heart. She had wanted to perform well in front of the master, but ended up being punished.

nYe Juetian was a bit hesitant now; the force had already been restrained to the limit by himself.

nAlthough Yi Yi was not unconscious at the moment, she was already panting heavily, with shallow breaths.

nHer white dress was now dyed red.

nYe Hua said nothing, just waiting quietly.

nQing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi couldn't bear to watch any longer, and they all turned their heads away.
