Chapter 565: Don’t Do Useless Work

"You acted smart, put yourself in danger, neglected your duties, and made a big mistake." Rong Yu said in a cold voice, "But he knows exactly what he did."

How could Xie Jin not know?

More than a dozen blows were struck on the wound, as if the healed wound was to be split open. Even a fool should know what the punishment was.

Besides, he's not stupid.

Xie Jin said nothing. He raised his right hand to wipe the cold sweat that was rolling down his face, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will not do it again."

Rong Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "Go and lie down on the couch."

It can be seen from the strength at the beginning that tonight is not going to be a good night. Xie Jin didn't react at all when he heard this. Lying down is more comfortable than kneeling. He stood up with his right hand on the ground, feeling as if he had lost all his strength.

Although he had just eaten something, everything was really hurting now, and he was so painful that he had no energy left.

"You used to be unscrupulous and unscrupulous. I never wanted to restrain you because you knew how to measure." Rong Yu threw the cane in his hand on the imperial desk and took out another one from the bucket, "But now that you have entered This king will not condone the disrespect for human life."

Xie Jin took the official uniform and put it elsewhere, walked to the brocade couch and lay down on it.

His left arm was in too much pain to dare to use force, so he could only use the strength of his right arm to adjust his posture. After hearing Rong Yu's words, he lowered his eyes and answered, "Yes."

Rong Yu took out a soft pillow from the compartment and threw it to Xie Jin.

The imperial study is where the emperor handles government affairs, and the compartments are where the emperor rests. The pillow is naturally a royal object - although no one has rested in the imperial study since the new emperor ascended the throne, and no one has used the pillows, but still It doesn't change the fact that it is a royal thing.

But at this moment Xie Jin hugged the pillow and didn't want to think too much.

Since the Lord gave it to him, he can naturally use it.

Besides...

This pillow would be the only thing keeping him through tonight.

Rong Yu naturally ignored his inner thoughts. The cane still fell with force that broke the wind, dense and sharp, from the back down to the calf with a slow but almost non-stop rhythm.

Xie Jin couldn't see behind him, but he knew that the scars must be arranged neatly.

It still hurts, nothing else.

The skin under the shirt swelled as quickly as possible. From the back to the lower body, it felt as if someone had poured a layer of hot oil on it, causing burning pain.

Xie Jin grasped the pillow tightly with both hands and gently rubbed his forehead against the pillow to wipe away the cold sweat. He couldn't help but think of what Rong Yu had said just now: Once you get through tonight, it's not too late to say thank you.

As expected, his master never talks nonsense.

"The punishment is indefinite. It will last until the five canes are broken." Rong Yu's cold voice sounded from behind, which undoubtedly sounded like a death sentence. "If you really can't bear it, you can beg for mercy."

He doesn't like to do useless work and ensures that one lesson is enough for him to remember for a lifetime and he will not dare to do it a second time in this life.

When Xie Jin heard this, his heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar.

Five lives, five hours of kneeling, and five canes broken.

This punishment is fair.

But being fair doesn't mean not being afraid of pain.

Xie Jin finally realized that he had been moved too early. Compared with his master doing it himself, he felt that being dragged out to be slapped or beaten with a stick in front of everyone might not be so unbearable.

How can pride and face be so important?

But it's useless to think about it now. Xie Jin held the pillow tightly in his arms, slowly adjusted his breathing, and still said the same words: "Yes."

Begging for mercy was impossible.

Death is impossible.

Committing such a big mistake is already unforgivable for Rong Yu. If he begs for mercy, he will look down on himself.

Rong Yu had finished what he needed to say, and there was no further delay. The cane fell down with the hurricane wrapped in it, and landed on the back that had been riddled with pain. It was overlaid with the first scar, which could be felt through a layer of clothes. to the point where it quickly swells up.

The pain intensified and hot oil poured on me.

Xie Jin endured it with all his strength. Before one layer of cold sweat dried on his body, a new layer emerged. The sweat was soaked in wounds. It was really a torture that could be called torture.

However, the long and chaotic night has just begun.

The night was silent, with only the sound of wind reaching my ears, accompanied by the pain that pierced my bone marrow.

Never stop for a long time.

…

In the dead of night, after a day of training, his body was obviously exhausted, but Xuanyuan Yao was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

He simply put on some clothes and stood up, walked to the window, reached out and pushed the window open.

The night wind blew against my face.

Xuanyuan Yao frowned, his handsome and elegant face showing some obvious uneasiness, and his hands hanging by his sides clenched, unclenched, and clenched again unconsciously.

Her Majesty the Queen and the Prince Regent have returned to the palace in the morning.

Xuanyuan Yao, who has been waiting closely for the news half a month ago, has been a little out of shape all day today. Although he did not make any mistakes during training, he knows that if this continues, his condition will definitely not be good tomorrow.

How is Ah Jin doing now? Have you ever been questioned by the Lord?

The Lord must have received the news about what happened in the palace a long time ago. After returning to the palace, there is no need to even investigate, just ask about the crime, the cause and effect, and the details in the process. There is no way to hide it even if you want to.

Don't dare to hide it unless you think your life is too long.

Xuanyuan Yao frowned, but still couldn't hold it back, and called two of the Eighteen Guards over: "You go to the city to investigate and see if there is any unusual movement in the Wei Prince's Mansion and the Xie Family."

The two looked at each other with a slightly subtle expression.

"Your Majesty, I just inquired about it an hour ago."

They had clearly reported their own prince an hour ago. The Prince of Wei's Mansion had not yet been confiscated, and there was no movement in the Xie family. Prime Minister Xie had returned home from the palace in the afternoon.

Xuanyuan Yao's voice became cold: "Investigate again."

The two men heard this and could only obey the order respectfully: "Yes."

They were from the Prince of Huainan's Mansion. They had followed Xuanyuan Yao since he was a teenager. They were his personal guards and were not under the jurisdiction of the military camp. Therefore, they were always called Prince instead of General. They did not have to be bound by military regulations and it was very convenient to enter and exit the military camp.

Xuanyuan Yao watched the two people leave in silence, and a shadow was silently cast in his heart.

He knew in his heart that the Eighteen Guards could not actually find out any important news. They could not enter the palace. Even if they dared to sneak in, they would soon be known by the master. At that time...

So they could only inquire in the imperial city.

But if Rong Yu wanted to do something, how could people outside the palace know so quickly?

There was no unusual news from the Xie family.

But they only saw Prime Minister Xie coming out of the palace and returning to the Xie family, but did not see Xie Jin.
