Chapter 435: Is your butt in trouble?
Shen Shuyi withdrew his gaze, thinking that he must be in a very embarrassing situation at this moment.
However, she had walked through more difficult roads in her previous life, so it didn't seem so difficult to walk through it again now.
Not long after, the last three boards were finally played.
The guards dispersed, and Jinzhu, Yuping, Zhao Xueqing and the others rushed forward.
"Miss, how are you?" As soon as Jinzhu opened her mouth, tears started falling.
How could the Queen Mother hit people?
Even if she is the Queen Mother, how can she hit people?
Zhao Xueqing immediately took off her cloak and put it on Shen Shuyi: "Cousin, let us help you go back first."
Xie Jingchi's Adam's apple moved slightly, and the fingertips hanging at his sides curled up slightly. He stood outside the crowd and ultimately failed to step forward.
At this time, Xiao Tingshan coughed lightly and walked forward, untied his heavy cloak and handed it to Zhao Xueqing, saying: "It's freezing cold, and Miss Shen is injured, so it's better not to catch a cold. If you don't mind, you can borrow Song's cloak for use."
Zhao Xueqing looked up at the pale-faced man in front of her, but did not take it.
Shen Shuyi was being supported by Qin Xin and Jiang Po at this moment. His legs and feet were a little weak, but he didn't fall to the ground.
Her lips were dry and bloodless, her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to her face, and her face was abnormally flushed due to the cold and pain.
To be honest, it was a bit embarrassing.
But at this moment, no one can deny that she is beautiful.
There is always a kind of cool and quiet beauty about the girl. She seems to be aloof and difficult to approach, but she is like a lone flower blooming in the night, making people want to get closer.
Shen Shuyi raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Tingshan. When their eyes met, she could clearly see the inquiry in the man's eyes, as well as the hint of pleasure that was hidden very well.
She thought that he had really watched such a good show in vain.
At this moment, he must have felt like he had gotten rid of a lot of anger.
"No need, ahem...Prince Song is weak and sickly, and has a chronic disease. If Shuyi gets involved, Shuyi will be ashamed and blame himself."
Shen Shuyi spoke softly, his voice a little weak.
She knew that Xiao Tingshan came forward at this time just to watch her fun and to help improve his reputation.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, she naturally had to know what was good for her.
However, Xiao Tingshan's things made her sick...
"Cousin, let me carry you." Zhao Baopeng's eyes turned red and he couldn't help but speak.
Shen Shuyi smiled at him gently: "No, we can still walk."
Xiao Tingshan looked at Shen Shuyi's face, as if trying to get a glimpse of clues from her expression, but unfortunately, the girl hid it too well, and he still couldn't guess her plan.
Xiao Tingshan insisted: "Song's body is the same on both sides. It is Miss Shen who was punished with the cane, so it is better to accept it."
Lou Yulan was standing not far away, watching this scene, and couldn't help but walk forward: "Cousin, you should accept it. There is no need to be stubborn at this time. The prince means well, and cousin doesn't need to be so fussy."
Shen Shuyi chuckled and felt that Lou Yulan really made her sick just like in her previous life.
Stopping her at this time was probably to make her suffer more and be ridiculed more.
At this moment, Shen Shuyi felt warm.
She turned her head and saw Xie Jingchi, wearing a black brocade robe, standing beside her.
He seemed to have sent someone back to get a cloak, and put it directly on Shen Shuyi, wrapping her tightly.
Shen Shuyi's eyelashes trembled slightly and she was slightly distracted.
The cloak was raven black in color, with a fine sheen in the sun. It had a circle of soft white fur at the collar and the lining was sewn with white fox fur.
It felt quite heavy on my body, but it also instantly blocked out the cold wind and brought indescribable warmth.
Shen Shuyi's throat tightened and his eyes fell on Xie Jingchi.
Xie Jingchi looked stern, his narrow and sharp eyes staring directly at Xiao Tingshan in front of him, and said coldly: "If Prince Song had any compassion in his heart, he shouldn't have blocked the way and wasted time."
Xiao Tingshan paused, and there was a hint of inquiry in the look he gave Xie Jingchi.
After a while, he stepped aside and said weakly, "Thank you, sir, it is my fault for not considering it."
"Miss, I will carry you." Jianpo spoke in a deep voice, facing his master's murderous gaze.
"No, I can walk..."
Before Shen Shuyi could finish her words, Jianpo had already half-knelt in front of her, and Qinxin swiftly lifted her onto his back.
Fortunately, Jianpo was tall and slender, and had considerable strength from his martial arts training, so carrying Shen Shuyi on his back was not difficult for him.
Along the way, she walked very fast, as if she was afraid that she would die in the next second.
Shen Shuyi lay on Jianpo's back and whispered, "Jianpo."
"Hmm... Hmm?" Jianpo was stunned for a moment and spoke subconsciously.
"Is your butt in trouble?" Shen Shuyi chuckled on his pale face.
Jianpo was in a trance for a moment, his throat tightened, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Miss, you have been caned..."
Even if there are only twenty strokes, if you are unlucky, you can die.
Shen Shuyi seemed to know what she wanted to say, lowered his eyes and whispered: "You won't die, don't be afraid."
What he suffered in his previous life was the real punishment of caning.
That incident almost cost her her life, and she even had difficulty walking for several months afterwards.
If she had not had Mr. Liancheng by her side to take good care of her, she would probably have become a cripple, let alone be favored by the empress dowager.
It seems that this is the case for all those in power. The imperial power is supreme and cannot be challenged, regardless of right or wrong. Even if the court allows for free speech and a drum for reporting issues, anyone who wants to strike the drum must first be beaten with thirty sticks.

After Shen Shuyi returned to the tent, Lian Qiao hurried over after hearing the news.
When she saw Shen Shuyi's pale face, tears welled up in her eyes. She hurriedly wiped away her tears and calmed down to check Shen Shuyi's pulse.
Since it was a tent shared by the female members of the family, most of the men in Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion were waiting outside.
Instead, Qin Xuerong, Lou Yulan and their group entered the tent along with Zhao Xueqing, Shen Qinghuan and Zhang Jinping.
"The woman is recovering from her injuries, what are you all doing here?" Old Madam Zhao asked in a deep voice, looking unhappy.
There was no way Qin Xuerong would miss this opportunity. After all, these people had just seen Shen Jingyu's joke not long ago.
"Madam, what are you talking about? I am Sister Yi's mother. Sister Yi has encountered such a big thing, so of course I have to come and see her."
"Besides, although it was Sister Yi who was punished, since it concerns the Shen Mansion, I have to ask about the situation. But you..."
Qin Xuerong looked Madam Zhao up and down, and it was obvious that her words implied that she was the outsider.
Qin Guiqiong said at the side: "Yes, old lady, your words are really polite. Sister Yi is injured like this, how can we just ignore it?"
Shen Shuyi looked indifferent and said in a deep voice: "Qin Xin, throw out the irrelevant people."
Qin Xuerong was right. There were no "outsiders" here, so she was not afraid of being gossiped by others.
