Episode 38

Although Empress Xuan came from a famous family, she developed a gentle character, so she did not look down upon the Crown Princess, nor did she make an issue of her life experience, because the Crown Princess was not a jealous person, but she had always been concerned about her own origin.Very inferior.Cheng Shaoshang heard Empress Xuan mentioning Qu Lingjun, and after understanding it, he understood the prince's past love history.It turns out that Qu Lingjun is the legitimate daughter of a famous family. Before she got married, she often went to the palace, where she got to know the prince, and the two fell in love with each other.Since Emperor Wen made a marriage contract in the countryside in his early years, and later became powerful, he could not break his promise to his old friends, so the prince fulfilled the marriage contract and married Sun, who is now the crown prince.Cheng Shaoshang lamented that fate had ruined the happiness of the three of them.

In fact, Ling Buyi had the same idea as Cheng Shaoshang. In order to prevent this marriage, he took the initiative to advise Emperor Wen and Empress Xuan, but in the end it was difficult to change the outcome.As for why the Crown Princess was so worried about gains and losses, Cheng Shaoshang obviously couldn't understand it. Empress Xuan pointed out that she had never given her sincerity, so she couldn't understand the feeling.Just as Cheng Shaoshang quickly denied it, he suddenly learned that Emperor Wen was furious and wanted to punish Ling Buyi.Cheng Shaoshang hurriedly rushed outside the main hall, and found out through the chamberlain that Ling Busui, in order to vent his anger on her, abused lynching without reporting, broke into the censor's stage, and broke Mr. Zuo's legs on the spot.Now that eight ministers have jointly filed a lawsuit, the situation has reached an end.

Cheng Shaoshang sneaked in and knelt down to beg for mercy. On the other hand, Emperor Wen sat at the top angrily. Ling Buyi actually expressed his willingness to accept the crime and didn't need anyone to worry about him.The third prince and the fifth prince stood on both sides respectively, one was responsible for adding fuel to the fire, and the other was gloating about the misfortune. Emperor Wen was reluctant to get angry with his adopted son, and scolded Cheng Shaoshang for always quarreling with Ling Buyi, and he had not learned the gentleness of Queen Xuan until now.supple.Cheng Shaoshang did not refute, hoping that Emperor Wen would be lenient, but the third prince demanded severe punishment.A plea of ​​guilt was not enough to stop people from talking, so Emperor Wen ordered a hundred sticks to be punished with a stick. Ling Buji stood up and walked out of the palace without saying a word.Cheng Shaoshang was about to cry but had no tears. She looked through the city wall and watched the executioner attack fiercely. Every battle would leave Ling Buyi's skin and flesh torn to pieces, which made her feel extremely sad.Emperor Wen hoped that Cheng Shaoshang could understand that the sufferings Ling Buyi suffered today were all for Cheng Shaoshang.

Now that Ling Buyi has been punished by the rod, if Cheng Shaoshang is not cautious anymore, Ling Buyi will definitely have unpredictable consequences.When Cheng Shaoshang heard that the number of times recorded by the third prince was wrong, he couldn't help but rushed towards Ling Buyi, but was stopped by the guards before he could get close.Empress Xuan and Concubine Yue came after hearing the news. Compared to Empress Xuan's compassionate heart, Concubine Yue was more rational and smart, and guessed that Emperor Wen had done it deliberately.Because there are many theories about the punishment of rod punishment in the army. There are some that look normal to the skin and flesh, but in fact the muscles and bones inside are broken and the limbs are disabled. There is also another type that looks like flesh and blood is flying everywhere, but in fact there is no serious problem. Ling Buyi is obviously the latter.The reason why this happened was that Emperor Wen wanted Cheng Shaoshang to face his heart and realize the position of Ling Buyi in her heart.

Sure enough, Cheng Shaoshang was facing a distance of two feet, and seeing Ling Buyi endure the pain, he suddenly felt a feeling he had never felt before.Suddenly, the execution ground was very lively, with the roar of the stick, the sound of flesh being beaten, and Cheng Shaoshang's true confession. Emperor Wen informed the fifth prince to leave as soon as he was ready, and Empress Xuan arranged for Ling Buyi to return to Changqiu Palace to recuperate.Concubine Yue also left immediately.That night, the first cold wave of winter came, and Ling Buyi stayed at Changqiu Palace. Although the fire was bright in the house, Cheng Shaoshang was still caring.On the other hand, Liang Qiufei sneaked into the palace to visit Ling Buyi. Before he could say a few words, Cheng Shaoshang barged in wearing a quilt. Knowing that he was redundant, he simply went home.After Liang Qiufei left, Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi were left alone in the room. Cheng Shaoshang later found out that Ling Buyi was fake and was punished, which also reflected that Cheng Shaoshang was completely in love with Ling Buyi.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, the two kissed inadvertently. Cheng Shaoshang took care of Ling Buyi meticulously. After feeding Ling Buyi, he played the flute again. The concubine and Lang were in love with each other. They recalled their first encounter and decided that they would be lifelong.Xiao Yuanyi was depressed because Cheng Shaoshang had not returned home for many days. Even though Cheng Shaoshang asked someone to send him a cloak, he still dismissed it.Cheng Shi persuaded Xiao Yuanyi why he should worry too much. Now it seems that Cheng Shaoshang is absolutely obedient and always adds glory to the family. He is far better than those girls who cause trouble and bring down their father and brother. But because of this incident, Xiao Yuanyi feels that Ling BuyiEven less reliable than Cheng Shaoshang.As Ling Buyi expected, Emperor Wen ordered the Yushitai to be restored in order to quell public anger. The Liang brothers were ordered to go there and take out the Yue clan's military report files.

Fortunately, Concubine Yue was a reasonable person. In order for Ling Buyi to let Emperor Wen punish the Yue family, he still needed to obtain accurate evidence.Judging from the current situation, Xiao Yuehou did deliberately delay the rescue. The military doctor and Han Wu who could testify were dead, so Ling Buyi planned to investigate Xiao Yuehou, an insider at the time, and let him make the details of the incident known to the world.
