Chapter 042

At the palace gate, Shi Qing leaned against Yu Chennian as he yawned. He looked on with a bored expression as Young Master Chen, who was screaming as he was being hit with the board, finally stopped crying. He limped down from the bench with cold sweat on his forehead.

The little master had been patiently waiting for his punishment to finish. When he got up, he ran over happily and acted overly sympathetic.

“Are you okay, Young Master Chen? You seemed to be making quite a bit of noise earlier. Tut tut tut. Just say something if it was too much for you. We were just making a casual bet. I wouldn’t have forced you if you didn’t want to.”

Young Master Chen wanted to spit the blood in his mouth onto Shi Qing’s face.

At this point, he was just rubbing salt on the wound.

What kind of person was this?!

But he forced a smile onto his face that was covered with old sweat from the beating. “It’s all good.”

“Good!”

Shi Qing immediately applauded him with great admiration as he shook his head. He made a casual comment to Yu Chennian who was following him. “Look how manly Young Master Chen is. 20 hits with a board is nothing to him.”

“If I have another chance to bet with him, we won’t bet a measly 20. We’ll bet 50 hits! I can’t wait!”

Young Master Chen, “…”

His mind automatically translated his words into, ‘The next time I catch you in the act, it won’t just be 20 hits, it’ll be 50.’

He already felt like he was dying after 20. If he really suffered 50 hits, he was probably better off just dying right here.

Shi Qing was still running his mouth. “Young Master Chen, although you and I were only betting, I still want to remind you that subjects need to behave a certain way. If they step out of line, even an emperor as benevolent as our won’t stop at just corporal punishment.”

As he said this, he glanced meaningfully at the cold sweat pouring out of Young Master Chen’s forehead. A charming smile lit up his cherubic face, just like an innocent little master who had been sheltered his entire life.

“So the next time you and I are chatting, Young Master Chen’s opinions should be closer to my own.”

Young Master Chen, “…”

He didn’t want to get closer.

Was there a way he could avoid getting closer?

He just wanted to be a handsome man indulging in luxuries all day with a princess and countless concubines waiting at home, alright!

The little master expressed his condolences.

His delicate lips opened and closed. The expression on his face was very soft, but his words were dripping with bloodlust.

“I’ll cut off your hands and feet before removing your head.”

Young Master Chen, “…”

He gave in shamefully.

“Yes, yes, Shi Qing. You are right…”

Beneath Shi Qing’s friendly gaze, he hobbled slowly towards the palace gate as he was supported by the palace servants.

After he left, the radiantly smiling little master immediately showed his displeasure. He hopped back to the top of the steps and rubbed the sole of his shoes repeatedly against the floor.
