Chapter 15
The scorching heat burned Wen Ning's wrist. As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Yunci quickly let go of her hand.
But the scorching heat from his palm seemed to linger on her wrist, and then slowly dissipated, bit by bit.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The sharp-eyed eunuch Xu Jingqi spotted Xiao Yunci's figure not far away and immediately exclaimed. The sharp voice that originally sounded like an executioner suddenly became warm and flattering.
After he shouted like this, everyone's eyes turned in that direction, including Qi Weiming who was being beaten with a stick.
Qi Weiming was almost vomiting blood from being hit by the solid board again and again. He lay on his side with his hair disheveled and in a mess. He held on to the bench tightly with both hands and turned his head with all his strength to look at Xiao Yunci who was not far away.
However, the ministers who had gathered together made way for him, shouted "Long live His Royal Highness the Crown Prince" and saluted, then knelt down one after another.
In the crowd, Xiao Yunci, dressed in black, stood high above him, with an expression as if everything was just dust. He walked slowly and leisurely to his side without any haste.
Qi Weiming felt a lump in his heart, as if he was being laughed at.
"What happened?" Xiao Yunci asked calmly.
This question was directed to Eunuch Xu. The eunuch who was beating the eunuch with the stick thought that the Crown Prince came in such a threatening manner probably to help someone who was injustice. However, the Crown Prince did not stop the beating, but instead slowly asked about the situation.
The eunuch executing the execution paused and hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to stop and continued beating.
Qi Weiming groaned, his eyes turning black in pain.
"Reporting to Your Highness, Qi Weiming rashly submitted a petition, offending the Emperor in public with General Wen's past. The Emperor is furious and is currently in the Qinzheng Palace, listening to the beating to calm down." Eunuch Xu naturally told the truth and said politely, "Your Highness, what do you think we should do now? The Emperor is not in good health, and he cannot be angry all the time. He should still vent his anger. What do you think?"
"Eunuch Xu is right." Xiao Yunci said in a light tone.
"Your Highness..." Qi Weiming heard this and tried hard to speak, wanting to ask for help, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a person suddenly appeared in his blurred vision.
The woman stood out in the crowd, not because of her clothes, but because of her fair face, extremely delicate features, and perfect figure.
Her hair is as white as lacquer, her eyes are like water, her beauty is full of emotion, she is gentle but not pretentious, beautiful but not artificial.
At first glance, she looks like an immortal on earth, making you unable to take your eyes away.
Warm condensation.
It was her... She would definitely feel distressed when she saw herself like this. After all, he did these outrageous things for her.
Qi Weiming's chest was filled with emotions and his eyes suddenly turned red.
Although the beating was painful for him, it only hurt his skin. But now he was watching her, and she no longer belonged to him, which made him heartbroken.
"Ningning..." he murmured softly.
When Wen Ning saw his lip movements, her heart ached and she started to cry.
