He deserves a beating

Eunuch He hurried forward, brought the tea bowl to his hand, and said worriedly:

"Your Majesty... Why should you be so anxious about Princess Huaizhen's affairs? How many national affairs have to rely on Your Majesty? Your Majesty must relax and take care of your health."

The old emperor pushed away the teacup in his hand, covered the handkerchief and coughed again, sighed and said:

"If you take care of yourself, that's it. The only thing I'm happy about now is that Shi Yu Foli died in front of me... The emperor in the north is not very good, and he can't even take care of himself in his own country. They can't beat him for a while."

Eunuch He looked sad and comforted him, "Your Majesty... your illness will definitely be cured."

The old emperor of Song did not speak, lowered his eyes, his will was depressed for a while, and he slapped the handrail in anger and said:

"That Ma Shuo is really not a thing!"

Eunuch He turned his eyes and asked carefully: "What should you do with your Majesty...?"

"I have forcibly confiscated the Duke's Mansion for two years, and Ma Shuo threw it into the prison for one month!" The emperor said decisively, and then squinted his eyes and paused, "This is really a matter of the incense to take care of the old friend. If I am five years younger, I will definitely kill him!"

Eunuch He didn't say anything, but just waited silently for a while, and saw that the emperor had nothing to say, then he said:

"Then... the old slave will go and issue an order to Duke Ma."

The old emperor, who was thinking, suddenly came to his senses, coughed violently a few more times, and then rolled up the handkerchief he was holding in his hand.

He looked into the void, his eyes narrowed into slits, as if he was watching something in the fog. Later, he breathed weakly and said:

"Go, after passing the order, let them go out of the palace quickly. I don't want to see them. In addition, go and invite Duke Shen County."

Eunuch He's eyelids shook almost invisible, responded to "Yes", and bowed and left.

...

On the road leading to the palace gate.

Although Princess Huaizhen had a very obvious slap mark on her face, she was red and embarrassed on her half-white face.

But she still held the princess's dignified and arrogant aura and walked upwards and striding forward.

And from time to time, she would look at those curious eyes openly with threatening eyes.

It seems that as long as she does this, her embarrassment can become an ordinary or even an honor.

Xie Yuan followed her silently, looking at Princess Huaizhen's back, and suddenly felt a sense of desolation and sadness.

She remembered Ma Shuo's proud face at that time, as if Princess Huaizhen had done something for him, and it became a decoration and an item for him.

Even if she is a princess and the emperor's daughter, she is also a man's accessory and spoils.

The princess' identity and her beauty are just adding many precious and exquisite labels to this trophy, and there is no difference in essence.

As Xie Yuan walked, he looked a little painful and unwilling to accept his eyes.

She finally turned her gaze aside, looked at the surroundings with no important scenery, and never wanted to look at Princess Huaizhen's back again.

Because she felt that the sadness of a woman's identity was more obvious and deeper in the luxuriously dressed and proud princess.

Especially Princess Huaizhen's pride is even more uncomfortable.

Xie Yuan began to hate the fact that he was a woman, the affairs of men and women, and hated these worldly visions and rules in the world.

Princess Huaizhen suddenly stopped. When she turned her head, she saw Xie Yuan leaning to look at the side with a handsome and handsome face, frowning in the sun, looking painful and enduring.

Xie Yuan turned his face and saw Princess Huaizhen looking at her, he stopped and stood with his hands behind his back.

She was wearing a purple-red military officer's court uniform and the two hats on her crown fluttered gently in the breeze. Her upright posture seemed to be like a jade tree facing the wind.

Princess Huaizhen felt that she had stinged her eyes and heart by Xie Yuan like this.

She asked with her eyes narrowed:

"Why did you beat Ma Shuo?...beat him half to death?" His voice was delicate and cautious, not knowing what he was looking forward to.

Xie Yuan turned his gaze aside again, frowned and did not look at her, and looked painful and enduring, and said coldly:

"He deserves a beating."

Princess Huaizhen looked at Xie Yuan, her rosy lips trembled twice, and tears began to fall down with a "smack" and said:

"You are always so good, how can I wake up... If I don't have this dream, what's the point of living?"

When Xie Yuan heard this, Danfeng looked at her helplessly, and felt a little pity again.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent.

At this moment, Princess Huaizhen saw someone coming from afar. She quickly wiped the tears on her face, pretending that nothing had happened, and prepared to continue leaving.

But she had just turned halfway, and suddenly remembered something, turned her head suddenly, staring at Xie Yuan's back, and resentful anger emerged.

Xie Yuan turned his head to look with her eyes and saw a dark-skinned official in the distance, with a third-rank official following a few eunuchs carrying a pair of stretchers. On the stretcher was lying, he hurriedly followed the palace road to come here.

The official had been considerately covering the person on the stretcher with a blanket, with a painful and anxious expression, and was walking very fast, and he didn't see them at all.

Princess Huaizhen bypassed Xie Yuan, walked two more steps forward, stood there waiting for someone to come, looking like he wanted to settle the accounts.

Although Xie Yuan didn't know that official, he didn't understand what Princess Huaizhen looked like.

I guess this dark-skinned old official is Duke Ma.

And the one who lies on the stretcher with only one head exposed must be his only son, Ma Shuo.

"You really beat him half to death?" Princess Huaizhen suddenly asked softly.

Xie Yuan looked at the stretcher, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly:

"It shouldn't hurt the bones. New and old injuries are enough for him to hurt every month."

After hearing this, Princess Huaizhen raised her chin arrogantly, as if she had already made some plans.

Duke Ma, who was walking along the stretcher, saw two people, Xie Yuan and Princess Huaizhen.

He stopped suddenly, stopped the stretcher, and looked at them from a distance, suddenly waved his hand and wanted to let someone carry Ma Shuo back.

Princess Huaizhen sneered twice, laughing so loudly that she was swollen and gloomy, lingering on the tall palace walls, and she heard her screaming sarcastically:

"Duke Ma, this is the inner garden of the palace, not your house. Why are you carrying your son around?"

When Duke Ma heard this, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his head back, lowered his head and gave some instructions to Ma Shuo on the stretcher, and continued to walk here.
