On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The rain stopped, the dark clouds quietly dispersed, and silver light poured down. People only then realized that the moon was hanging high above the treetops.

Lin Zhen immersed himself in the warm tub, his eyes closed, his body enveloped by the gentle waves, seemingly washing away all dust and blood. He slowly raised his arms, staring blankly at the water droplets sliding from his fingertips into the tub, stirring up delicate ripples.

A man who had never dared to kill a chicken in his two lifetimes, actually killed dozens of people in half an hour.

You have to know that killing a person is different from killing a chicken. It is not a simple thing. It requires an extremely strong heart to face the fear after killing.

Don’t disbelieve it, Lin Zhen had an uncle in his previous life who later joined the army and went to prison to become a glorious WZJC.

From the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was not easy to get into the prison at any time. Later, an unwritten rule emerged in the prison: if two death row prisoners were shot, they could be put into the prison.

From this we can see that killing is a very horrible thing, and not everyone can do it.

But Lin Zhen did not feel that kind of fear, probably because the Eight Ox Crossbow could shoot at a long distance. He did not have the feeling of having his neck chopped off by a big knife and having blood sprayed all over his face.

If he were on a battlefield with raging flames and flashing swords, charging on horseback with a spear in hand, fighting the enemy on the line of life and death, Lin Zhen would probably have retreated long ago and would not have dared to take a single step.

After a while of thoughts, Lin Zhen sighed softly, got up from the bathtub, picked up a soft towel, wiped the water droplets on his body, and then put on his clothes.

It was a big challenge for him to put on three layers of clothes. He tried to put them on again and again but could never get them put on properly. He looked crooked and bare-chested like a gangster.

Well, whatever, let it be.

When Lin Zhen walked out of the bathroom, he saw two beautiful ladies, Huanbi and Qingwen, standing outside the door, like two delicate and beautiful flowers emerging after the rain.

The slight sound of the door hinge startled their thoughts. They both turned around at the same time, their eyes full of tenderness and passion.

Because Qingwen had been severely exploited, she was bolder than before. Her eyes, which were originally as deep as autumn water, were now flashing with lustful light as she stared at Lin Zhen's chest, blinking non-stop.

"Wow~ The prince has become whiter again! Can you let me see it~" After saying that, Qingwen started to touch Lin Zhen's arms.

Lin Zhen subconsciously jumped away: "Stop it! What will happen if someone sees us?"

"Wait~" Qingwen rolled her eyes: "It's not the time to hug someone and shout that it feels good yesterday! Men's mouths are lies!" After that, she started to tidy up Lin Zhen's clothes.

"You little girl..." Seeing Qingwen start to tidy up her clothes, Lin Zhen chuckled helplessly.

Huanbi also had a faint smile on her lips and was busy tidying up Lin Zhen's clothes.

"Hehehe, don't be angry, Prince. Qingwen is just like that."

"You idiot, do you need to explain? Eh? Prince, what's this?" Qingwen retorted unhappily. Suddenly, she noticed the bulge in Lin Zhen's thigh, and a sly smile crossed her lips...

Lin Zhen was completely unaware of this. He asked Huanbi, "Has anyone come from the palace?"

"In the palace? No, is the prince going to the palace?"

It's strange. According to Murong Yan's personality, she would definitely summon me into the palace.

Why hasn't this come yet?

Lin Zhen looked up at the sky and suddenly took a breath of cold air: "Hiss... damn girl, let go, you're hurting me."

Qingwen pretended to be horrified and quickly let go of her hand: "Ah, Prince! This servant didn't mean to do that. I saw a bulge here and didn't know what it was, so I pinched it... or else..."

Qingwen's mouth corners were harder to suppress than AK, and she said with a wicked smile: "How about I rub it for you?"

Lin Zhen's face turned red, and he yelled, "Rubbing your ass! If you dare to pinch me again, I'll beat you to death!"

"Oh~ So that's how it is~ Then do you like to be hit on the left side or the right side~" Qingwen stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Lin Zhen's neck, and breathed out a sweet breath.

Lin Zhen knew she was definitely not talking about her face, so he slapped her on the butt.

“pia (fourth tone)!”

"what!"

Huanbi couldn't bear it any longer and pinched Qingwen's waist hard: "Damn Qingwen, do you still have any shame?"

"Oh, what are you doing!" Qingwen felt pain and slapped Huanbi's hand away. She rubbed her aching waist and frowned, saying, "The prince likes my shameless appearance. What can you do to me?"

After saying this, she ignored Huanbi's furious look, pulled Lin Zhen's arm and shook it, saying coquettishly: "My lord, my legs are getting fat again, please help me!"

Leprechaun!

Goblin!

Lin Zhen felt a little regretful about eating this girl, which caused her to taste the forbidden fruit for the first time and she enjoyed it endlessly.

From now on, I must squeeze her dry!

Just when there was no way to refuse, a heavenly sound came from outside the Moon Gate.

"Prince! Someone's coming from the palace!" Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. The savior had arrived. He quickly let go of Qingwen's hand and walked briskly towards him.

"Oh! Prince... Humph!" The duck that was about to reach her mouth flew away, and Qingwen stomped her feet in anger.

Lin Zhen ran past Murong Wushe and excitedly grabbed his withered hand, which was covered with traces of time. His voice was choked with a sob that he could hardly suppress, "Mr. Wushe, you are finally here!"

Even Murong Wushe, an old eunuch who had experienced many ups and downs, was stunned by this scene.

He stared at Lin Zhen blankly and asked doubtfully, "Has the prince been waiting for this old servant?"

"That's right! Let's go, let's hurry into the palace!" Lin Zhen's words were full of urgency as he pulled Murong Wushe out of the palace.

Murong Wushe thought to himself, this is quite interesting, it is rare to see an official so eager to go to the palace to get beaten.

......

Lin Zhen could roughly guess what Murong Yan would say, so he remained calm. At worst, he would use the design drawings of the new Eight Ox Crossbow to shut her up.

However, what he didn't expect was that today Murong Yan was not as furious as usual, throwing cups and glasses, but was unusually calm as water, which made him feel suspicious.

What's going on? Is this woman now also using the routine of hiding her emotions?

Standing in the heart of the magnificent Golden Throne Hall, Lin Zhen bowed to Murong Yan according to etiquette, his voice carrying a hint of caution: "Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respects."

Murong Yan seemed to have heard nothing and was still immersed in the mountain of memorials.

Without looking up, he just called out lightly: "Someone come here!"

"Here!" The imperial guards on both sides responded with sonorous and powerful voices.

What is this for?

Are you going to hit me?

Lin Zhen was completely bewildered by the scene. Soon, Murong Yan's fake, deep, and magnetic voice rang out again: "Lin Zhen has no respect for the law. He shall be given fifty lashes."

"Yes!"

"Ah!?" Lin Zhen opened his mouth in shock. He saw that the guards had prepared a bench and were approaching him step by step in groups of two, holding long and thick sticks.

All the tools are ready.

Lin Zhen quickly jumped away, dodging their grasp, and shouted, "Wait! Your Majesty, how could I be so disrespectful to the law?"

Murong Yan gently put down the memorial in her hand, a faint smile on her lips: "Lin Zhen, no matter how you argue, you are bound to get beaten today."

After she finished speaking, her eyes turned cold: "Hit him!"

"Yes!"

"How dare you!" Lin Zhen's eyes widened, and a stern aura suddenly emanated from him, frightening the guard so much that he paused, and his outstretched hand abruptly stopped in mid-air, not daring to move forward even half an inch.

Murong Yan probably didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so tough. The smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a subtle anger: "Lin Zhen, what do you want to do?"

Lin Zhen said without flinching, "Your Majesty, if you don't make your words clear, I will not be beaten."

"How dare you disobey my order!"

Facing the already angry emperor, Lin Zhen remained calm and spoke each word with a resounding tone, "No! I am not disobeying an order, but obeying it! The late emperor once bestowed upon me the title of Regent and bestowed upon me the Nine Gifts. I was allowed to wear a sword and sandals when entering the palace. I was not allowed to name my name when I was being praised or bowed, nor to bow before the emperor when entering the court. I was not allowed to be caned or even have my buttocks bruised. If Your Majesty wishes to cane me now, it would be a naked humiliation! It goes against the late emperor's will."

"You!" Murong Yan was furious.

What made her most angry was that these officials always liked to use the decree of the previous emperor as a shield, and she was helpless to do anything about it.

Unable to teach him a lesson physically and repeatedly losing in verbal battles, she finally got so angry that she slammed the dragon table. There was a loud "bang" that seemed to shake the dust in the room.

"You're such a sharp-tongued Lin Zhen! You secretly possessed the Eight Ox Crossbow, broke into the Prime Minister's residence and indiscriminately killed civilians. Do you still think you're right?"

"Your Majesty, those White Robe Volunteers were not civilians, but a group of beasts in human skin!" Lin Zhen's anger surged like a raging tide as he thought of the Qingzhu family's tragic fate. "They raped, robbed, murdered, and set fires, wantonly bullying the people of Daqian. Qingzhu's mother died tragically at their hands."

"Then it's not your turn to be the judge!"

"If it's not my turn, who will? If it's not me, wouldn't Qingzhu's parents have died in vain?!"

Every word Lin Zhen spoke seemed to carry a tremendous force, landing heavily on the hearts of everyone present, stirring up waves: "When did our Great Qian fall to the point where there are no laws and human life is treated as worthless?"

"You..." This was the first time that Lin Zhen confronted Murong Yan in such a disastrous manner.

Qingzhu's tragedy was like a raging fire, completely burning away his inner peace.

Murong Yan looked into the red eyes before her, which burned not only with anger but also with a desire for justice and a hatred of injustice. She had never seen Lin Zhen like this before, and his aggressive aura left her speechless.

Lin Zhen was right. If it weren’t for him, Qingzhu’s family would have died in vain.

How could a powerful family like the Gu family easily admit to the massacre of civilians?

Alas, Daqian is indeed in such chaos that it makes people feel distressed.

Lin Zhen’s anger is not only an accusation against the current incident, but also a deep condemnation of this era and this society.

Murong Yan understood all this, but as an emperor, locked up deep in the palace, it was difficult for her to handle everything and turn the tide on her own.

Speaking of this, Murong Yan's tone finally softened a little.

"Lin Zhen, the most important thing for a country is its laws; the most important thing for a family is its rules. You led your troops into the Prime Minister's residence without authorization, resulting in the deaths of nearly a hundred members of the White Robe Righteous Followers. To say you have no regard for the law is a false accusation. Right now, people in the court and the country are in turmoil. Officials are privately discussing that your family is arrogant and disregarding the law, yet I have turned a blind eye and allowed it to happen. If I don't punish you, where will the prestige of Daqian be? Where will my dignity be? How can I ever convince my subjects to obey me in the future?"
