The Prince Consort's Beloved

And at this time in the Changsheng Palace.

Xiao Luobai knelt in the hall with his back straight. The stick in Li Yuming's hand hit his tall back heavily again and again. He didn't know how many times he was hit, but blood was already oozing out.

Li Yuanqi spoke calmly and skillfully, just as he always did to other ministers: "I will give you one more chance. You only need to say yes, and I will let you go."

Xiao Luobai frowned, his expression firm, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, please take back your order!"

Li Yuanqi laughed out loud, his laughter was indescribable, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or unhappy, but his face was amiable and he sighed: "Xiao Luobai, Lord Xiao, my brother-in-law, just wants to find another good man for my sister. You just need to say you agree. It's so simple, why don't you agree? My sister loves money, and He Lin is also a wealthy businessman, all for my sister's good, but you insist on monopolizing my sister. Aren't you making it difficult for me?"

Xiao Luobai did not answer him, but laughed coldly in a mocking manner.

This appearance and this result were clearly done on purpose by the emperor. The emperor wanted to beat him up on purpose, and he knew it.

He said that agreeing or disagreeing would not change anything. The young emperor had even written the imperial decree granting the marriage, but even so, he could not say the word "agree".

He couldn't say it, and he didn't want to say it.

His heart wouldn't allow him to say it.

He laughed, not at himself, but at Li Yuanqi, who was despicable and childish!

He stopped laughing, looked up, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, if you have something to say, why not just say it directly? Why bother beating around the bush and go through so much trouble?"

Li Yuanqi's face froze, but he quickly recovered in an instant. He pretended to straighten his bright yellow dragon robe and said calmly, "As the king of a country, there is no need to beat around the bush. I just want to find another husband for my sister. Didn't I make it very clear to Lord Xiao just now?"

Xiao Luobai's expression remained the same. He raised a contemptuous arc at the corner of his lips, snorted with disdain, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, do you know what it means to humble yourself and not deceive in secret?"

Li Yuanqi's expression was stern, and anger was burning in his eyes: "You are so bold that you dare to imply that I am not upright and honest. You are really rebellious. Do you think that you can ignore me just because you have my sister's favor?"

Li Yuanqi looked at Xiao Luobai who was being beaten, and the anger in his eyes subsided a little.

He smiled and spoke slowly: "So what if you have my sister's favor? I can punish you if I want to."

Xiao Luobai showed no fear at all, his dark eyes were full of mockery, even though the board was hitting him hard again and again.

He couldn't help laughing sarcastically again.

After he finished laughing, he said four words in a steady voice with unquestionable majesty: "I! Don't! Agree!"

He didn't even use the term "minister" to refer to himself, but directly used "I", which shows that he really looked down on the young emperor.

A surge of anger suddenly appeared in Li Yuanqi's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant.

He calmed down and suddenly relaxed his expression, and said in a cheerful and cheerful manner: "Okay, brother-in-law, you are really my good brother-in-law, and you are really sincere to my sister..."

After Li Yuanqi finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sharp. He turned to Li Yuming, his tone suddenly turned cold, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Li Yuming, hit him, hit him hard!"

Li Yuming responded, his hands kept moving, and he increased the strength a little bit, again and again...

The empty Changsheng Palace was filled with the dull sound of sticks hitting flesh.
