154 The Infuriated Princess I (1/2)

”Qing'er, you're the one who is wrong now.”

Nan Xian lowered his eyes and looked at Tan Shuangshuang, who was kneeling in front of him and Feng Ruqing. His eyes were calm.

Tan Shuangshuang cried even harder now. Her face was wet with tears.

Tan Shuangshuang seemed so pitiful and miserable. All the others sympathized with her. ”State preceptor, we cannot blame the princess for this. After all…”

”This is indeed Qing'er's fault.” There was a faintly discerned smile on Nan Xian's face. ”Tan Shuangshuang wishes for this. Why don't you grant her wish? Just let her endure the two hundred whippings for Liu Yuchen. Qing'er is always so kind. You wouldn't refuse this kind of wish.”

His words sounded so calm and gentle. But, Feng Ruqing was stunned.

Tan Shuangshuang's heart trembled vigorously. There was fear in her eyes.

'Three hundred whippings! That'll definitely kill me! If I'm not dead by then, I will not be able to get down from the bed for the rest of my life.'

”Princess.” Liu Yuchen looked at Tan Shuangshuang's pale face. He gritted his teeth and said, ”I don't need Tan Shuangshuang to endure it for me. Please let her go.”

Feng Ruqing squinted. She smiled softly. ”Since Tan Shuangshuang loves you deeply, I'll not disregard her wish given that I like to grant people's wishes. But, Tan Shuangshuang will not live after three hundred whippings. How about this? Give her a hundred and fifty whippings first. Then, we'll give her the remaining a hundred and fifty whippings after she recovers after a few days.”

Tan Shuangshuang's face paled like a sheet of white paper. Her lip trembled, and there was deep fear in her eyes.

'A hundred and fifty whippings will put me in bed for a few months. But, she just allows me to rest for a few days before giving me another a hundred and fifty whippings.'

'Even if I survived this, I'll not be able to endure great pain.'
