nChapter 1088 (Lashes)

nQian Yuqing was very worried, extremely worried, especially when she saw Yi Yi's complexion, which had lost all traces of colour.

nContinuing like this would lead to her death!

nGong Yue silently observed, 'Juetian, the remaining sixty lashes will kill her.'

nThe cloth strip in Yi Yi's mouth had long fallen to the ground. At this moment, she was extremely weak, her vision blurry, and her body seemingly devoid of sensation.

nThe only thing she could feel was Ye Ye standing by her side, trying every possible means to save her.

n

"Come on,

" Yi Yi weakly said. This tone made Qing Ya and the others feel distressed. Such a strong girl was indeed rare. To avoid causing trouble for Little Tian, she was willing to endure hardship herself. Little Tian had indeed chosen well. At least, this was how Qian Yuqing thought, looking at Yi Yi with newfound respect.

nLove and strength, backgrounds had no connection. This was truly an affectionate couple, both considering each other's feelings.

nIt was heartwarming.

nQing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi now understood. Regarding Little Tian's matter, they also thought of their own children.

nAfter the crisis for the mother-in-law was resolved, they must talk to Ye Hua. Their children should seek someone they love, not from some prestigious family! Even if they threw a tantrum, they would persist.

nYe Juetian took a deep breath, feeling heartache to the point where he couldn't breathe. If possible, he really wanted to take Yi Yi's place and bear this crime for her.

nLifting the board high, Ye Juetian transmitted his voice,

"Yi Yi, endure a little longer; it will be over soon.

"

nYi Yi didn't speak. Her slender hands gripped the legs of the stool tightly.

nYe Juetian could not fake it now; he could only try to restrain his strength within Yi Yi's tolerance.

nHowever, Ye Juetian couldn't comprehend the pain Yi Yi was feeling. For her, an ordinary person, even a slightly lighter stroke would make her soul tremble with pain.

nDull thuds reverberated through the sleeping chamber.

nYi Yi was holding on firmly, but her consciousness was becoming increasingly blurry. Her hands, which gripped the stool's legs, slackened, indicating she had run out of strength.

nPuchi!

nYi Yi suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground red, looking shockingly distressing. Clearly, she had suffered severe internal injuries, with blood continuously flowing from the corners of her mouth.

nYe Juetian saw this, his mouth trembling. The raised board was frozen in mid-air, hesitating to strike down.

nAt this moment, Ye Juetian experienced what despair felt like. To save his beloved woman, he had actually beaten her to the point of losing half her life!

nYe Juetian shouted inwardly; 'I'm so useless! I can't even save the woman I like, letting her suffer such a thing!'

n

"Tired? Want to switch?

" Ye Hua asked indifferently.

nYe Hua didn't give the slightest chance.

nFrom Ye Hua's past actions, it could be seen that the people who provoked him usually ended up dying in despair. In Qian Yuqing's case, Ye Hua forcibly killed the son of Huang Fei, making him die in front of everyone, intending to make Huang Fei feel despair. Death was too simple; living in misery was more desperate.

nNow it was more for his mother! This hard-earned familial affection!

nUnforgivable!

nYe Juetian respectfully said,

"No.

"

n

"What are you waiting for then? Do you want me to take over for you?

" Ye Hua coldly said.

nWithout further thought, Ye Juetian let the board in his hand fall.

nAfter this strike, Yi Yi couldn't stand anymore. Her hands hung weakly, and she fainted.

nHowever, they had only reached sixty-eight lashes; thirty-two more remained!

nSeeing Yi Yi faint, Ye Juetian felt like his heart was tearing apart. He wanted to embrace her regardless of everything and tell her... how much it pained him.

nBut Ye Juetian knew that doing so would only accelerate Yi Yi's death.

n

"Big brother, she fainted!

" Ye Juetian shouted loudly. In fact, he shouted so loudly to inform their mother in the room, hoping she could save Yi Yi. At this point, only their mother could save her; the sisters-in-law had no way to help.

nYe Hua coldly glanced at Yi Yi, bloodstains still at the corner of his mouth, dripping onto the ground.

nSoon, Yue Jing's voice sounded in the room:

"Ye Hua, let's call it a day. Mother doesn't want to see anyone die in the sleeping chamber; it's not a good omen.

"

nYe Hua, considering his mother's words reasonable, looked at Ye Juetian, then at Yi Yi, and said in a deep voice,

"Make up for the remaining ones later. Take her away! Imprison her!

"

n

"Yes!

" Two black-armoured warriors carried Yi Yi and disappeared instantly.

nYe Juetian placed his hands behind his back. The palace maid standing behind him noticed that Prince Ye's hands were trembling.

nAt this moment, Ye Hua said in a deep voice,

"Take care of our mother. I'll be right back.

" After saying this, he disappeared on the spot.

nAs Ye Hua left, everyone seemed to heave a sigh of relief.

nAt least for now, Yi Yi still had a breath, not dead.

nBut this result was not what Gong Yue wanted. Yi Yi had actually escaped this ordeal. Even if she had escaped for now, she was not her opponent.

nYe Juetian respectfully called,

"Mother, sisters-in-law, I'll go back first.

"

nAfter Ye Juetian finished speaking, he turned and quickly arrived at the sleeping chamber. He immediately locked himself inside, squatting on the floor, hands tightly gripping his hair. In his mind, scenes of him beating Yi Yi just now played over and over again.

nAnd Yi Yi's muffled sounds of pain, clearly in agony but enduring without screaming. 'Was she afraid of worrying me?'

n'This foolish woman!'

n

"Are you okay?

" Suddenly, a gentle voice sounded in his ears.

nGong Yue, crouching beside him, asked with concern in her gaze.

nLooking at Ye Juetian's reddened eyes, Gong Yue felt jealous of Yi Yi. This ordinary woman actually made Ye Juetian shed tears for her!

nUnpleasant! Very unpleasant!

nGong Yue suddenly reached out, gently stroking Ye Juetian's long hair, and softly said,

"Sometimes, even men need a comforting shoulder. I can lend you mine.

"

nYe Juetian said in a deep voice,

"No need!

" After speaking, he stood up as if going to find medicine.

nGong Yue thought Ye Juetian might lean on her and express his grievances, but to her surprise, he didn't at all. Rather, he seemed more determined! This was not a good situation.

nWatching Ye Juetian bustling with a pile of medicine, Gong Yue asked,

"Are you going to deliver the medicine now?

"

n

"Yes.

"

n

"Your big brother just left.

"

n

"I can't be bothered with that!

" Ye Juetian said coldly. Right now, Yi Yi needed medicine, and if she didn't get it, she probably wouldn't make it through the night.

nGong Yue expressed concern,

"Even if you go, if your big brother finds out, do you think Yi Yi will survive?

"

nYe Juetian's actions abruptly stopped. Gong Yue was right. If he went to save her right after his big brother left, it would be too obvious.

n

"Let me go.

" Gong Yue smiled slightly.

n

"You?

" Ye Juetian questioned.

nGong Yue nodded,

"I'm just an outsider. Others won't gossip. Even if your big brother finds out, at least he won't vent his anger on Yi Yi; he'll only punish me.
