No. 39 is back
"Xie Sui."
Everyone heard the sound and turned to look.
Yu Guiwan's clothes were stained with blood, her eyes were half closed and she was dying, holding a long sword in her hand to support her body.
Xie Sui ran over quickly and picked up the shaky Yu Guiwan.
Falling into an embrace filled with the scent of medicine, she could no longer hold on and passed out.
"Wei Heng, Wei Heng!"
Xie Sui looked at Yu Guiwan, who was covered in wounds. His heart had been cut into pieces by thousands of knives.
He carried Yu Guiwan into the courtyard, and Qiao Shuang followed behind him, quickly ordering the servants, "Hurry up and have someone boil some water and prepare some clean clothes."
"Sword wound in the abdomen, sword wound in the back, arm..."
"My arm was bitten by a wild beast."
Wei Heng checked the wound, and even he couldn't bear to see it.
How could he have been injured so badly in such a short time?
With every word Wei Heng spoke, Xie Sui's expression darkened. "Madam Yongxuan, Ah Wan will be left in your care for the time being."
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Qiao Shuang took the hemostatic medicine given by Wei Heng, and immediately helped Yu Guiwan clean the wound, apply medicine and bandage it with Fuqiu.
Wei Heng took people out to get medicine, while Xie Sui went to another room.
"Is he awake?"
"Your Highness, she was hit by a hidden weapon and hasn't woken up yet." Bei Chu replied.
"Wake him up by pouring water on him." Xie Sui said coldly. He learned from other people that Ah Wan was with Fu Yan before she was kidnapped.
Xia Lu stood guard by the bed and watched Xie Sui and his men rush in. She hurriedly stopped them, "Your Highness Prince Chen, what are you going to do?"
Bei Chu walked past Xia Lu and poured a basin of freezing cold water on Fu Yan's head.
"what--"
Fu Yan shuddered and woke up from his coma.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xie Sui standing in front of the bed with a cold face. She subconsciously lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at Xie Sui.
"Bei Chu, take the person out."
Xie Sui walked out of the house first and arrived at another small courtyard.
At this moment, the courtyard was full of people. Xie Sui had ordered everyone to call over all the noble ladies who came to Meilin Courtyard today.
"What is this for?"
"It's already this late, and you won't let us leave."
They gathered in the yard and talked, and everyone was very nervous.
The guards brought a chair and placed it in the corridor. When everyone saw Xie Sui coming, they fell silent.
After a while, Bei Chu brought Fu Yan over and forced her to kneel in public.
"What is your uncle doing! I am the Princess of Ping! How can you treat me like this!" Fu Yan resisted, but Bei Chu held her shoulders tightly, making her unable to move.
After seeing this scene, the others dared not speak anymore.
"Did you release the green snake?" Xie Sui stared at her with his deep eyes, and his expression became dangerous.
"I didn't!" Fu Yan immediately retorted.
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards brought up a man covered in blood. A strong smell of blood instantly filled the air, and everyone present covered their mouths and noses.
But Fu Yan recognized this person at a glance. This was the person she arranged to release snakes in the yard.
"Your Highness, this man has confessed. It was Princess Ping who asked him to deliberately release snakes in the courtyard in an attempt to harm the princess." The guard handed over the signed testimony.
The others had no idea that the green snake was actually killed on purpose. No wonder there were snakes appearing in the middle of winter.
Such thoughts are too vicious.
"I just wanted to scare her! I didn't mean to hurt her!" Fu Yan's face turned pale, and her wet clothes made her shiver.
Xie Sui shouted.
"Someone is coming."
Soon, someone came with a cage containing a green snake.
Fu Yan seemed to realize something and wanted to escape but was held down by Bei Chu.
The next moment, the guards released all the green snakes in the cage, and added powder to attract green snakes into the basin of cold water that Fu Yan had been holding. Once released, all the green snakes rushed to crawl onto Fu Yan's body.
When the others saw this, they quickly took a few steps back.
"Ahhh-"
Fu Yan screamed and her face turned extremely pale.
"I was wrong! Please let me go, uncle!"
Fu Yan rolled on the ground in fear and begged.
"I won't dare to do it again, never again." Fu Yan was so scared that she burst into tears. She could even feel the green snake wriggling in her hand.
"Don't you like scaring people? I'll let you feel it too."
Xie Sui raised his hand, and Bei Chu immediately took out the medicine powder from his body and brought all the green snakes back into the cage.
Fu Yan escaped death, gasping for breath, her legs weak and she collapsed in the snow.
Xie Sui's expression didn't waver at all. "Since you know you're wrong, I'll punish you with fifty strokes of the cane."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside the courtyard came in to report.
"Your Highness, Prince Ping has arrived, along with several officials from the imperial court."
"Please invite King Ping in," he said.
……
After Xie Yunqi heard the news, they all rushed over and brought a few court officials with them.
"Your Highness Prince Ping, my prince invites you." The guard made a gesture, obviously allowing only Xie Yunqi to enter.
The remaining officials all spoke up, "What about us?"
"My lords, the prince has only invited His Royal Highness Prince Ping to come in." The guard left a word and took Xie Yunqi inside.
Fu Yan saw Xie Yunqi walk in and begged for help: "Your Highness! Your Highness, save me!"
Xie Yunqi frowned and looked at Fu Yan, who looked embarrassed, as if he was slapping him in the face.
"Uncle, what do you want to do?"
Bei Chu stepped forward and handed the testimony to Xie Yunqi, "There is now irrefutable evidence that Princess Ping deliberately murdered Princess Chen."
Xie Yunqi took the testimony and his face became embarrassed after reading it. But Fu Yan was the Princess of Ping, so how could he blame her in public?
"Even so, the emperor's uncle shouldn't resort to lynching, right?" Xie Yunqi raised his head and looked at Xie Sui.
"Private punishment? It seems that the emperor's nephew wants to protect her?" Xie Sui asked expressionlessly.
Before Xie Yunqi could speak, Xie Sui spoke again, "You two are husband and wife, and you should be punished together for your crimes."
"Twenty sticks per person."
"How dare you! I am Prince Ping. If word gets to my father, my uncle will probably be held responsible as well!" The anger pent up in Xie Yunqi's heart erupted at this moment. A sickly person dared to embarrass him!
"Why wouldn't I dare? As an elder, it's my duty to teach the younger generation. If my brother blames me, I will personally go and apologize."
"And today, you two, don't even think about leaving."
Xie Sui's words were very clear, and Bei Chu immediately stepped forward and wanted to take action.
How could Xie Yunqi allow someone to be humiliated like this? He immediately started fighting with Bei Chu and was soon at a disadvantage.
How could anyone present dare to watch Xie Yunqi being caned? How would he face Prince Ping in the future? They all felt that Xie Sui was too terrifying. For Yu Guiwan, he not only caned Prince Ping's wife, but now he even dared to cane Prince Ping.
