The most romantic little emperor

Su Zhengfang's eyelids couldn't help but twitch violently. He looked at Liu Yi with a speechless look in his eyes. He thought to himself, why did he find such a fool? You said you were targeting Lu Yi, but why did you drag in a concubine of the emperor? Isn't this giving the prince an opportunity to deal with people?

All the civil and military officials in the court turned their eyes to Qin Hao at this moment. These people were all old foxes, and they all understood one thing: as long as they did not do anything that touched the emperor's bottom line, such as treason, contempt of the royal family and other serious crimes, there would not be any big problems.

Now Liu Yi's actions have undoubtedly touched the emperor's bottom line. Although the emperor is critically ill and cannot attend court, can the prince tolerate it?

Some ministers were curious and they secretly wondered whether the prince would protect the emperor's face.

Some ministers were secretly delighted, as they really wanted to see the prince get angry and make a fool of himself.

Qin Hao lived up to everyone's expectations, he was indeed angry!

"boom!"

The prince took out an inkstone from somewhere and slapped it on Liu Yi's head.

"what!"

Liu Yi screamed loudly, blood gushed out of his forehead, and he fell heavily to the ground.

At this moment, he really wanted to beg for mercy, but Qin Hao, holding the inkstone, smashed it on his head again mercilessly, not giving him a chance to beg for mercy.

Liu Yi had no choice but to protect his vital parts with his hands and scream continuously, hoping that these screams would touch the prince's heart of compassion and make him show mercy.

"You bastard, you're full of foul language, you're really outrageous!"

"How dare you speak disrespectfully to my father's woman? In my opinion, you are the one who is not decent. Your whole family is not decent!"

"Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my father!"

After Qin Hao finished speaking, he raised the inkstone in his hand and slammed it down again. The crisp "bang bang bang" sounds echoed in the hall.

But even so, he still felt unsatisfied, so he raised his foot again and stepped on Liu Yi mercilessly, completely disregarding his age.

Under the imperial power, any insult to a member of the royal family is intolerable. Even if a concubine is despised by the world, her reputation will never be allowed to be tarnished by anyone.

Qin Hao's anger was not unreasonable. He took this opportunity to maintain the dignity of the royal family on the one hand, and to deter all the civil and military officials in the court, especially Su Zhengfang and Dong Sicheng on the other.

"Your Highness... please spare my life... I know I was wrong... I will never dare to do it again... Please have mercy on me... please let me go..."

Liu Yi collapsed to the ground, holding his head with his hands, wailing continuously. His wrinkled old face had already been stained red with blood, and looked very hideous.

Qin Hao remained unmoved, his strength on his feet did not decrease at all, and he continued to step on him.

He cursed loudly, "How dare you be so rude, you bastard! You even dare to ignore the emperor and openly slander the emperor's woman. Are you tired of living? In this case, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of my father, you are disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust person."

Liu Yi felt like his bones were about to be broken. He was desperate and sought help from Su Zhengfang: "Minister Su, please speak a fair word for me! I was just confused for a moment, and I was doing my job impartially. I have no other intentions. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, help me plead with His Highness..."

Su Zhengfang was embarrassed, he knew that he was in an awkward position at the moment. On the one hand, he didn't want to quarrel with Qin Hao directly, on the other hand, he didn't want to watch Liu Yi continue to be beaten, after all, he was the one who arranged today's incident.

Qin Hao felt more confident when he saw Su Zhengfang's hesitation, and sneered in his heart.

He knew that the old man Su Zhengfang did not want to fall out with him yet, but was reluctant to put down his own face and beg for mercy.

So, Qin Hao stepped hard with his feet and stomped again on Liu Yi's palm, which immediately caused an even more shrill scream. His face was covered in blood, which made him look even more terrifying in the scream, and all the civil and military officials in the court were terrified.

After doing all this, Qin Hao threw down the inkstone in his hand and turned his gaze to Su Zhengfang. With a malicious light flashing in his eyes, he said sarcastically: "Minister Su, what's the matter? Do you also think that what Lord Liu said makes sense?"

Su Zhengfang glanced at Liu Yi calmly, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, this old minister has absolutely no such intention. Lord Liu's words were inappropriate and he should be punished."

He paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "As for the matter of Lady Xiao, whether it is related to her or not, Lord Liu should not disregard the reputation of the royal family. However, in this assassination of the emperor, Lu Yi neglected his duties and was indeed guilty of a serious crime. If the murderer succeeds, the consequences will be disastrous. Even if his entire clan is executed, it will be difficult to eliminate his crime. Now, just killing him can appease people's hearts, so why not do it? I hope Your Highness will think twice before acting."

When Qin Hao heard this, he couldn't help but secretly curse Su Zhengfang as an old fox in his heart, and immediately turned his spearhead towards Lu Yi. This made him feel like he was hitting the air, and he was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

"Your Highness, please stop."

Wei Zheng frowned, stood up, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Beating a minister in the court is not only unworthy of you as a prince, but also against etiquette."

When Liu Yi heard Wei Zheng pleading for him, it was like hearing the sound of nature and he was deeply moved.

He recalled Su Zhengfang's attitude towards him, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He thought that he had risked his life for the Su family, but Su Zhengfang was so indifferent. He couldn't help feeling sad.

Qin Hao snorted coldly, looked down at Liu Yi lying on the ground, and said coldly: "Liu Yi, do you think Minister Su and Lord Wei can save you? You openly slandered the royal family members, which is a crime of treason! Even if they beg for mercy, do you think this king can let you go?"

Liu Yi's face turned pale when he heard this. He knew that he had really offended someone he shouldn't have offended this time, and he regretted it immensely. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have touched on that taboo topic.

Qin Hao looked at Liu Yi's miserable condition coldly, without a trace of sympathy or pity in his heart. He knew that although this old man was pitiful, he was more hateful, and he would not show mercy.

Liu Yi ignored the pain in his body, quickly got up, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I am an old minister who has devoted my life to the country. Please, please..."

Qin Hao interrupted him impatiently and ordered in a cold voice: "Come here, drag this old man away, beat him with thirty sticks, and fine him one year's salary."

"No, Your Highness, Lord Wei, please be kind and help me beg for mercy. I am old and cannot stand thirty strokes of the cane."

Seeing that Su Zhengfang stayed out of the matter, Liu Yi cried and begged Wei Zheng with tears and snot.

Wei Zheng frowned slightly, turned his head and whispered to Qin Hao: "Your Highness, this punishment is not impossible, but I am afraid that it will be used by villains to slander Your Highness as a tyrant. We must be on guard."

"Take him away and give him a beating." Qin Hao turned a deaf ear to Wei Zheng's words and continued to do as he pleased.
