Chapter 198 He Feng is punished
Zhiyi and Huo Ran stood up, the veins on their necks bulging, and they pointed angrily at the emperor on the dragon throne, with uncontrollable anger, and shouted: "You tyrant!"
"Don't touch me! Let me go!"
Although she was full of unyielding determination, she was unable to control herself and was tightly controlled by the person behind her. The force pressed down on her shoulders, making it impossible for her to stand firmly. In the end, she knelt on the ground in humiliation with a "thump".
Zhi Yihe still stared at the emperor on the stage, his face flushed red, and sneered: "Is this what you call an 'emperor'?! You use power as a sword and fear as a shield. You think you can dominate everything, but in fact your rule is like a castle built on quicksand. It looks majestic, but it is actually vulnerable!"
"It seems that she doesn't want her tongue anymore." The emperor said lightly, and two guards stepped forward to hold her hands, while another one approached her with a dagger.
Yuzhu tried hard to hold onto the legs of one of them, but was ruthlessly kicked away.
"Yuzhu!" Zhi Yihe called out urgently, with an unquestionable warning in his tone: "You are not allowed to touch me! If I am injured, Your Majesty only has 80,000 soldiers and horses, while the Yan family army has more than 200,000 people. If something happens to me, the 70,000 people behind me will definitely turn against me and join the Yan family. At that time, even if Your Majesty takes Emperor Zhaoding as a hostage, the imperial city will be difficult to protect. Has Your Majesty never thought about this?!"
"How dare you!" The emperor was furious and immediately issued an order: "Behead all members of the Yun family!"
Zhi Yihe immediately lost his temper, his eyes full of worry: "Let's see who dares! Do you think you can make the people submit by violence and suppression? Your foolish way of ruling is digging your own grave!"
The emperor smiled contemptuously and turned a deaf ear. Soon, Kong Qing, Master Bao, Guang Bai and others were escorted into the palace.
When they saw Zhi Yihe, they called her name excitedly. Before Zhi Yihe had the chance to talk to them, there was a flash of swords and the guards raised their knives and slashed, and Guangzheng fell straight down in the hall.
Zhi Yihe screamed in horror.
The emperor raised the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud, looking down with interest. He pointed casually, and Master Bao was so frightened that he squatted on the ground with his head down. The sword flashed, and the long sword pierced his body from the back, and he fell to the ground stiffly.
Zhi Yihe suddenly collapsed to the ground, everyone was in a panic, and then several people had their arms chopped.
"Stop! Stop it now!" Zhi Yihe screamed heartbreakingly, trying to break free from the restraints and run towards them, but he could only vent his emotions through impotent roars.
"Stop it!" Hefeng appeared in front of everyone without warning, his voice cold.
"Greetings, father." Hefeng bowed respectfully.
"Well, have you been punished?" the emperor asked.
Hefeng said "hmm" and reached out to help Zhi Yihe who was crying.
Zhi Yihe wanted to shake him off, but found that his face was pale. Looking back, his clothes on his back and buttocks were soaked with blood, and there were crisscross marks of whips and sticks. His skin was like a torn rag, rolling up, exposing the red flesh, and blood was still oozing out of the wounds, slowly sliding down his body and gathering into a small pool of blood on the ground.
Zhi Yihe looked at Hefeng in disbelief. She was originally full of resentment towards him. It was he who lured her into the palace and made her watch the relatives who raised her die tragically in front of her eyes.
But now, seeing him like this, her heart softened again. She wanted to ask him what had happened to him and why he was punished so severely. Wasn't he the crown prince?
"Father, I have verified it. The organization founded by Zhi Yian receives a portrait drawn by him every year. Everyone respects Zhi Yian and can recognize her at a glance even if they have never seen her in person. Even if they hold the ring, they only recognize the person and not the object."
The emperor raised his eyebrow slightly: "According to what you said, I really can't do anything about her?"
"That's right, father, just wait patiently. There are spies from the other side in the army, in the shops, and in the homes of officials. Why not use this girl to catch them all in one fell swoop? When the time comes, you can do whatever you want with me, father."
"You!" Zhi Yihe was indignant and was about to retort, but He Feng pinched his hand so hard that it hurt.
She remained silent, clenched her teeth, and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She no longer remembered how she came out of the Xuan Zheng Hall. Yuzhu, Guangfei and others were taken back. Zhi Yihe felt mixed emotions.
Hefeng held her hand tightly all the time until she was forcibly dragged onto the sedan chair.
Zhi Yihe moved to the side, distanced himself from him, closed his eyes tightly, and swore in his heart that he would get rid of his control after leaving the palace.
"Ah He, listen to me..."
Before he finished speaking, He Feng leaned forward slightly and then collapsed powerlessly in her arms.
Zhi Yihe was terrified and instinctively stretched out her arms to catch him. His head rested weakly in her arms, his face as pale as paper.
"Hey! Hefeng!" She could feel his weak breathing, her eyes were full of worry and fear. She hugged him tightly and called his name loudly, but he did not respond.
"Madam Zhi!" Pei Fanzhou looked at Zhi Yihe in panic.
"Why are you looking at me? Call the imperial physician!" Zhi Yihe's face was full of worry, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.
"Young Master... Young Master has ordered that you must be escorted out of the palace safely."
"Leave the palace and return home! Quickly!"
The carriage sped along the palace road, and Zhi Yihe was still calling his name. She didn't know what had happened to him, so she could only hold him helplessly, hoping that he would wake up soon.
(What happened to you? How did you get hurt like this?)
After the imperial physician arrived, he urged everyone to leave, but Zhi Yihe insisted on staying and watched intently as the imperial physician tore off the clothes that were stuck to his skin bit by bit, revealing the shocking scars.
There were old and new scars intertwined, extending from the back of his neck to his waist, and not a single piece of skin was intact.
The overlap of the new wound and the old wound was even more horrible. The redness and swelling of the new wound made the scar of the old wound more obvious.
Zhi Yihe suddenly felt as if something was tugging at his heart, with a strong sense of pain. His eyes were solemn, tightly glued to him, with pity in them, and he even wanted to absorb all his pain into himself through his eyes.
Finally, the bandage was completed. When the imperial physician announced that he was fine, Zhi Yihe was determined to leave. Unexpectedly, Pei Fanzhou called her back: "Madam Zhi, are you still going to leave the young master? Don't you have any curiosity about why the young master was so seriously injured?"
Zhi Yihe frowned for a long time, still unable to let go.
"Madam Zhi, the master imprisoned your family and threatened you with this. This is the master's selfish motive, not the young master's intention! What crime has the young master committed! He has repeatedly disobeyed the master for you. When he learned that you were captured by the master, he asked for fifty lashes, just to rescue you from prison.
And the time when you planned to escape from the capital, did you think the young master had no idea about it? The lord was determined to get rid of you, and it was the young master who risked his life to protect you, and only in exchange for obtaining the treasure of Xiqi and controlling the 70,000 soldiers under your command, did you and your family live in peace.
Despite the young master's many warnings, the lady still showed up at Zhangxian Temple, causing the emperor to issue a strict order that the lady must be captured. Once the troops in her hands are in his hands, she will be executed immediately.
So, the young master reluctantly made the decision to let his wife leave Beijing! The master announced the defense of the entire city, so we knew that the colorful silk thread given by the wife was poisonous, but we still wore it on our hands; we knew that everyone in the dragon boat team was suspicious, but we still watched the young master willing to be bait to help the lady leave the city safely!
Madam Zhi, the young master really has no choice. I beg you, please don't abandon him again!"
Pei Fanzhou knelt in front of her, Zhi Yihe took a step back and thought carefully: "But he tricked me back in the end, didn't he? He also lured me into the palace, and Yu Tuan is still in prison!"
"That's not the case! The lord thought that he couldn't get the 70,000 troops behind you, so he wanted to annihilate them in one fell swoop. After the lord got the city defense map of Sanchuan, he was about to send troops to attack Sanchuan. So the young master went to Sanchuan alone under the pretext of persuading the lady to meet her!"
"Persuade? He can forget it!" Zhi Yihe snorted coldly.
"That's right. The young master also knows that the lady will definitely not surrender, so he plans to bring her back to the capital first to confuse the master."
