Prince Xinhai still did not realize the gravity of the situation.
Great Sheng still needed Silla, and treated Silla with courtesy. In his heart, he clearly understood that the Great Sheng Empire would never dare to kill him.
Thatâs why he acted so fearlessly, bringing his debauchery from Silla to Changâan City.
However, he made a mistake this time.
He would receive the most unforgettable lesson of his life.
Other than the Jiang family, Gucheng had no sympathy for anyone else.
The ox-hide rope was frozen hard and cold in the snow. Gucheng forcefully pulled it tight and tied Prince Xinhaiâs hands behind his back, as well as binding both his feet.
Not giving him any chance to break free.
Jiang Ning pulled her coat tighter and asked Gucheng with a smile, âWere the chestnuts and sugar cakes delicious just now?â
âDelicious.â
Although Gucheng thought that snacking was a loss of a manâs dignity, the snacks were indeed tasty. Even a man should be honest about it.
Jiang Ning asked him again, âItâs still early, shall we continue to stroll around? I heard that there is one street full of all kinds of snacks. Not just for commoners, but even the young masters and young ladies of the noble families like to visit.â
Gucheng nodded, âAlright.â
âLetâs go then.â
Jiang Ning led the way out of the courtyard.
Gucheng picked up Prince Xinhai and carried him out of the room. Outside, the cold snow and wind made him, who had grown up sheltered, shriek immediately.
âItâs so cold, too cold, oh my godâ¦â He tried to struggle but was tightly bound. His teeth chattered from the cold, and he shouted at Jiang Ning, âPrincess Consort, you canât treat me like this! Release me right now, and I can pretend this never happened!â
Jiang Ning casually picked up a broken branch from the ground, intending at first to hit him in the mouth, but after a thought, changed her target to his buttocks.
Right now, his entire body was exposed except for his buttocks.
Striking there would be less likely to be discovered by others.
In the future when he would try to accuse her, he certainly wouldnât be able to casually pull down his pants to show everyone, right?
Jiang Ning raised the tree branch and, with a snap, struck Prince Xinhaiâs buttocks, laughing, âYou realize itâs cold now? I thought you didnât know!â
âHow could I not know?â
âWell, when I saw you strip my maidservant and tie her to a tree, I thought you didnât know.â
âOf course I know!â
âKnowing and still doing it makes you even more deserving of a beating!â
Jiang Ning lifted the branch again, flexing her shoulder before mercilessly lashing his buttocks.
Prince Xinhai cried out in pain, âIt hurts, stop hitting me! Princess Consort, I know I was wrong, I definitely wonât do it again!â
âYouâre still trying for a next time?â
Jiang Ning raised the branch, aimed at his buttocks, and struck again. She pointed at his nose and scolded, âYou little bastard, hitting you is going easy on you. If it werenât for the fact that your Silla Kingdom still has some uses, I would have skinned you, stripped your tendons, and chopped you to pieces to feed the wild dogs!â
Prince Xinhai shivered all over, âYou, you still remember that Iâm the Prince of Silla? How do you plan to explain this?â
âOf course, I wonât explain anything!â Jiang Ning raised her hand and struck him again, âDo you think this place is your fucking Silla? You come to someone elseâs territory and donât know how to restrain yourself. When people didnât want to pay attention to you, but you had to openly invite a beating. Tell me, you are so cheap, how cheap! Are! You!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWuuwuuwuuâ¦â
Prince Xinhai, cold and in pain, finally couldnât help but start crying.
