Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 18 Never bow down

The board in the guard's hand fell on Lan Xi mercilessly, and every blow seemed to break her bones. Lan Xi clenched her hands together in pain, her nails digging deep into her palms, trying to distract some of the pain in this way.

Jiu'er was extremely anxious. She wanted to rush over to protect Lan Xi, but was forcibly pulled away by the guards. Jiu'er could only watch Lan Xi being beaten, tears welling up in her eyes, but she could do nothing.

"Your Majesty, please let the Queen go! The Queen's body has not yet recovered, and she really can't bear such punishment!" Jiuer cried and begged.

However, the emperor remained unmoved and said coldly: "Hit him hard! Anyone who dares to beg for mercy for the queen will be given ten more strokes of the cane!"

Lan Xi's face turned red due to the severe pain, and beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead. Despite this, she still endured the pain and did not make even the slightest groan. Lan Xi clenched her teeth tightly, and blood oozed from her lips.

Lan Xi was sweating profusely from the pain, and the sweat was dripping down her forehead and soaking her clothes. Lan Xi bit her hands with all her strength to relieve the pain that almost made her faint.

The emperor looked at the stubborn Lan Xi in front of him, and a nameless fire surged in his heart. He roared: "If you beg me, I will let you go!"

Lan Xi raised her head and stared at Emperor Xiao Chuhan with cold eyes. Her eyes were full of unyielding and determination, as if telling him that no matter how she was tortured, she would never yield to him.

"Even if you beat me to death, I will never bow to you!" Lan Xi's voice was sonorous and powerful, with an unshakable determination. This was Ye Lan Xi's character. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how difficult the days were, she always adhered to her principles.

She would never admit to something she hadn't done for no reason, and she would never evade what she had done. This personality had long been integrated into Lan Xi's bones and became a part of her life. She had done nothing wrong today, but Xiao Chuhan treated her like this, and she would not bow to him. She hadn't done anything wrong, so why should she admit her mistakes and beg for mercy from him?

Xiao Chuhan looked at Lan Xi in front of him. Her cold eyes and attitude of not begging for mercy shocked him greatly. But at the same time, he felt even more angry. He was the emperor, and everyone respected him, but the woman in front of him treated him like this. How could he accept it?

"Hit me hard!"

No matter how strong she was, her body could no longer withstand the slightest pain.

"Xiao Chuhan, you will regret what you did today!"

"I have never regretted anything I have done."

Lan Xi sneered at Xiao Chuhan. Lan Xi could no longer support her body and fell into a coma.

Jiuer tried her best to break free from the restraints of the guards. She staggered to the emperor and knelt down: "Your Majesty, please spare the queen! Her body can't stand such torture. Let Jiuer take the punishment on behalf of the queen..."

At this time, Xingye also came to the emperor's side and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the queen has fainted. If you continue to beat her like this, the queen will probably die. Even a strong man can hardly bear the punishment of 40 strokes of the cane, let alone the queen is just a weak woman? She has already received 30 strokes of the cane!"

Xiao Chuhan gradually regained his composure after hearing this. He came to Lan Xi and stared at her, but for some reason his heart ached. "Come on, help the queen back to the room." Jiu'er and several maids hurried forward and helped the injured Lan Xi back to the room. Lan Xi lay quietly on the bed, her face as pale as paper, without any blood at all.

"Go and get Dr. Li at night."

"As ordered."

When Doctor Li came to Jingxin Palace and saw the queen in front of him, he couldn't help but shudder. Doctor Li checked Lan Xi's physical condition. Because the injured part was inconvenient for Doctor Li to treat, he taught Jiuer the medicine and treatment method.

"Jiu'er, apply this medicine three times a day to the queen on schedule."

"It will be very painful when this medicine is applied. Let the queen take this pill before applying the medicine. It can relieve the queen's pain."

"Jiuer understands. Thank you, Doctor Li."

After Imperial Doctor Li finished explaining to Jiuer, he came to the emperor.

"emperor."

"Doctor Li, how is the queen's health?"

Doctor Li looked embarrassed, not knowing whether he should tell the emperor the truth.

"Doctor Li, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

"The Queen's health is already very poor. Her previous injuries have not yet healed, and she has suffered new injuries."

“It’s very difficult to get back to my previous physical condition.”

"Doctor Li, I have handed the Queen over to you. You must take good care of her health."

"If the Queen makes any mistake, you will be held responsible."

"Your Majesty, I will do my best."

"Go back."
