Chapter 365 Board
The queen felt very sad, she even blamed, since King Liang knew her pain, why couldn't he be more sensible?
"Get up!" The queen sighed softly, "You think I'm partial to your younger brother, maybe yes, but as an older brother, shouldn't you let him go?"
King Liang didn't stand up, but still knelt, and said sarcastically, "Will you not let me? Queen Mother, Ruoerchen is not injured, and Ruoerchen is just like a normal person. Do you think the father will make him the crown prince?"
This was the last thing to say, and the queen also thought that he would never say it in his life, and he would never know the stakes behind his injury.
The queen only felt her heart jumping with fear, and a voice sounded in her heart, this time it was really going to be bad, he was determined to fight with his brother.
A few thoughts flashed through her mind, but she gently put them down.
"The queen mother has always known, but is the queen mother really unwilling to take my place? No, you can feel at ease, because the prince is still your child, and you have not suffered. I also believe that if the sons of other empresses hurt my legs Humanely, you will definitely find him desperately, I have no doubt that you love me, you just don't love me enough."
"Xin'er, if you think so, the empress really suffers. Over the years, you have been wronged and suffered. The empress has not been able to feel at ease for a moment. She is trying to make it up to you..."
Liang Wang interrupted her, "If you really want to make up, you won't know that I have a chance to recover, and you won't let Aunt Huang heal me. If you really love me, you won't know that I don't like Miss Lin, but still want me to marry you." Her so-called compensation is just a way to make you feel at ease, it is not beneficial to me, but makes me unhappy, this compensation is not worth it. "
After speaking so clearly, the queen became more sober and calm. She admitted that she had indeed favored the prince, but as a mother, she had no other choice.
She said disheartenedly: "Since this is the case, there is no need to say it. Since you don't like Miss Lin's family, then let it be. Anyway, the marriage has been retired, and the Lin family will give me some compensation. However, you are hurt. For the matter of the prince, I have to have an explanation. I will discuss with the royal family about your serious injury to the prince. The queen mother can’t protect you, and she can’t. It is preliminarily decided to deprive you of the title of prince, but you still It's the prince, and you have to apologize to your brother, otherwise, apart from depriving you of your title, you'll have to hit 30 big boards."
"Thank you, empress!" King Liang prostrated himself on the ground, "The minister received the punishment, and also received the beating!" Impossible to cover up? Who protected Murong Qiao back then? Who silenced or sent away the imperial doctor and all the palace attendants present?
The queen shook her head, "You would rather hit thirty big boards than apologize to him?"
"Yes!" King Liang said stubbornly.
There was a surge of anger in the queen's chest, and she stared at him, "You have really changed. Ever since Xia Zian cured your hidden disease, you have changed. Your strength is not used against outsiders, but against you. Little brother and mother, good luck!"
Liang Wang sneered, "What can I do? The ones who bullied me were my mother and younger brother."
The queen slapped the table, "Bengong said to you kindly, you still treat me like this and bully you, don't you? You have to protect you because of this palace? You have to admit your mistake to your brother and apologize, otherwise, this palace will beat you Sixty boards will cost you half your life."
"Empress!" Hongyue, the maid of honor, exclaimed in alarm, "Fifty boards will kill you."
"Does he care about his own life? He doesn't care, who cares?" the queen said sharply, with anger jumping between her brows, she still stared at him, "I'll ask you again, should I admit my mistake or receive the 60th board?"
Liang Wang stood up slowly, "Your servant is punished!"
The queen was so angry that her fingertips trembled, "Okay, okay, come on, drag it out, and hit sixty boards with a cane."
The Queen's love and guilt for King Liang largely stemmed from his forbearance and obedience. When he rebelled, her guilt towards him disappeared.
King Liang was dragged down and put on a long bench in the yard, which was specially used to beat palace servants who made mistakes with canes.
"Hit, hit until he admits his mistake!" the queen said angrily.
King Liang closed his eyes, and swallowed all his dissatisfaction as before, but this time he felt very relaxed, because, only this time, after this time, he didn't need to worry about her any more.
Give her back what she thinks she owes.
The guard asked: "My lady, should I use wattle or bamboo?"
There are two kinds of sticks, one is made of thorns, which are divided into big sticks and small sticks. The thorns are thorny, and ten sticks can make people bloody. As for the boards, it is relatively easy, but with fifty big boards, the average palace worker will be killed.
The queen hesitated for a moment, a little soft-hearted, but seeing his stubborn look with his eyes closed, he became angry again, and said sharply: "Use the thorn stick!"
The guard gasped. Fifty thorns and a large stick, this leg is probably really useless.
"Execution!" After the queen ordered sharply, she turned and went in. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She had to do this. If Xia Zian is capable, he should be treated. If he can't be cured, he will never be able to stand up again in this life. Don't even think about fighting for the crown prince again.
She went back to the bedroom directly, crying bitterly, and said repeatedly in her heart, Xin'er, you don't understand the painstaking efforts of the queen mother. Only in this way can you save your life. If you broke your leg and saved your life, you are also the queen mother. The only thing that can be done for you.
Da Jin heard that fifty thorn sticks were being used, he felt a thump in his heart, he left quietly, and then quickly rushed to the empress dowager's palace.
The guards who were in charge of torture were all heavy-handed, but they didn't dare to be cruel to King Liang, but they couldn't be too perfunctory. The thorns fell down with a single stick, but blood was seen after only a dozen sticks.
Liang Wang was lying on his stomach without saying a word. His leg was oppressed by the nerve due to bone misalignment, and he would experience unbearable pain several times a month. People who have been walking in pain almost could not bear this kind of sharp pain. Pain.
He bit his lip, blood overflowed from his lips, his forehead was sweating profusely, and his back was soaked, but his body was trembling with pain. When the thorns came down, they pierced into those wounds in the flesh, causing round after round of burning pain .
When the rod hit thirty big boards, Song Ruiyang came with his envoys. According to the rules, he was the Prince of Liang who came to visit the queen. He had already paid a visit to the queen this morning, and he arrived at the queen's place at noon.
Seeing the execution in the yard, he thought it was just beating the eunuch who made a mistake, but he didn't expect it was King Liang. Song Ruiyang was startled, what mistake did King Liang make to lay down thorns?
In Daliang, once a person is made a prince, he will not be punished with a cane in the palace.
He wanted to stop it, but the envoy Gongsun Yan said: "Your Highness, this is Da Zhou's family affairs, you should not interfere."
Song Ruiyang thought about it too, and he couldn't help but look at King Liang with pity, seeing that he was enduring great pain but remained silent, he was very appreciative and also very sorry.
The people in the palace went in to make an announcement, and when the Queen heard that Prince Liang was coming to visit, she straightened her expression and said, "Please come in."
