Chapter 669: Interlocking and Forced into a Deadlock
"Someone, tell General Chang what kind of punishment will be given if someone in my palace makes the same mistake." The Princess Taichang said softly.
Someone stood up and said in a cold voice, "Such a mistake is equivalent to offending the Grand Princess. He should be beaten with ten lashes and never serve in front of the Grand Princess again."
Chang Yi's expression suddenly changed, but he still didn't think that the Princess Taichang would really beat Chang Yuan ten times.
"Although Master Chang is not a servant of the Grand Princess, his behavior has offended the Grand Princess, so he should also be punished with ten lashes."
After the servant finished speaking, he took a step back.
Princess Taichang looked at Chang Yi and said, "General Chang, what do you think of this punishment? I want to discipline you for you because of our friendship over the years."
Chang Yi is now in a difficult situation.
There was no way he could go against the Princess Royal's wishes.
But he couldn't bear to see his son being whipped ten times.
"It seems that General Chang has softened his heart. After all, time flies and things and people have changed." The Grand Princess stood up and said, "Let's move to the Jiang family's old house."
Princess Taichang was about to leave, and Chang Yi suddenly panicked.
"Princess Taichang, please calm down. It is my fault that I did not discipline my son well and let him offend the princess. He deserves ten lashes of whipping! However, he is still young. Just one lash of whipping will teach him a lesson. As his father, I will take the remaining nine lashes for him."
"Father? General Chang is a father after all. The deep love between you two really touches me. Why should I hit you? You don't even need to whip me. I am meddling in other people's business."
"Princess Taichang, then give him five whips!" Chang Yi also saw it.
The Princess Royal was angry.
Angry that he broke his promise again and again.
He said that for the sake of the Princess Royal he would give up having children and devote himself to serving her.
However, he let Chang Ru be born.
He also assured the Princess Royal that she would only have this one daughter and would not have any other children.
Chang Yuan was born again.
At this time, it is only appropriate to let the Princess Taichang calm down.
The Princess Royal did not sit down and seemed to be about to leave.
Apparently, Princess Taichang was unwilling to accept his proposal of giving each of them five lashes.
"It's Chang Yuan's blessing that the princess is willing to discipline him! Let him receive the ten lashes of punishment."
The Princess Royal then sat down, but she raised her hand.
The people around her walked out immediately.
"Let our people do the beating, so that the people in Chang's residence won't feel sorry for him because he is the young master and won't be willing to do it."
The Princess's men immediately pulled Chang Yuan out.
Chang Yi raised his hand, but failed to hold his son, and his hand froze in mid-air.
"Father, save me! I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again!" Chang Yuan's crying voice was heard outside.
Chang Yi felt reluctant, but still did not stop it.
"Snap!" A whip hit the child's body and the child was silent at that time.
Chang Yi's heart tightened and he walked out immediately.
"Crack!" Another whip.
Chang Yuan's little face had turned pale. He clenched his fists tightly and did not utter a word to beg for mercy.
"Bang!" Little Chang Yuan fainted.
"Chang Yuan!" Chang Yi called out anxiously.
"General Chang, if you are reluctant at the beginning, don't agree. This will make me look like a nobody."
Chang Yi felt a tear in his heart.
"Stop!" Old Madam Chang rushed out from somewhere and threw herself on Chang Yuan. "If you want to fight, then kill me first!"
"Mother!" Chang Yi stepped forward and tried to pull Old Madam Chang away.
Unexpectedly, Old Madam Chang seemed to be crazy. She pushed away the person holding the whip, snatched the whip, and threw it at Chang Yi who was walking towards her!
Chang Yi felt an unbearable pain!
This is not the pain of an ordinary whip. If you look closely, you will find that there are some sharp barbs on the whip!
He thought it was just an ordinary whip. What was the difference between this whip and those torture instruments used on the execution ground?
Chang Yi was a little confused. When he looked at his son who had fainted from the pain, he felt heartbroken.
Old Madam Chang whipped Chang Yi again, "You idiot! You are unworthy of being a father! That's your own flesh and blood, and you actually killed your own flesh and blood for a woman you can only see and touch! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, you are worse than that beast!"
Faced with Madam Chang's angry scolding, Chang Yi could not refute a single word.
Old Madam Chang threw away the whip in her hand and walked into the house.
"You vicious woman!" She first pointed at the Princess Taichang and cursed.
The next moment, he suddenly pulled out the hairpin on his head and stabbed towards the Princess Taichang!
The Princess Royal was caught off guard and subconsciously raised her hand to block.
The hairpin cut her palm and Old Madam Chang fell to the side.
Chang Yi rushed forward quickly, supported the fallen old lady, and looked at the princess's injuries with concern.
The Princess Royal was furious and was about to explode when she suddenly saw a guard walking in.
"Deputy General Cheng, go call the palace doctor!"
"Yes!" Deputy General Cheng immediately retreated.
The Princess Taichang covered her bleeding hand and did not get angry.
She sat in a chair, waiting for the court doctor to arrive.
Chang Yi hurriedly helped Madam Chang out, and had the unconscious Chang Yuan sent back. He stayed here to look after the Princess.
Soon, the court doctor arrived and quickly treated the princess's wound.
The Princess Dowager's gaze fell on Deputy General Cheng again.
Deputy General Cheng immediately lowered his head, not daring to meet the gaze of the Princess Taichang.
"Your Highness, my mother has been feeling unwell lately, and sometimes she becomes mentally confused and does crazy things. She may have been stimulated just now, and she was so excited that she hurt the Princess. I hope the Princess can give me a favor and not pursue the crime against my mother." Chang Yi knelt down quickly to plead for his mother.
"It turns out that the old lady is ill. This is understandable. I will not pursue the matter further."
Chang Yi was ecstatic, "Thank you, Princess Taichang."
You see, the Princess Royal still has him in her heart. She just taught the child a lesson just to vent her anger.
His mother committed such a heinous crime, but the Princess Taichang actually just made a nonchalant comment about it. Wasn't it simply because of the friendship they had for so many years?
The little bit of guilt Chang Yi felt towards his son was completely washed away.
"General Chang, it's getting late and I'm a little tired. Please take me to rest."
Chang Yi was overjoyed when he heard that the Princess was still willing to stay in his house.
"Please come in, Princess Grand Princess!" He personally led the way and welcomed the Princess Grand Princess to the villa specially built for her.
"The situation just now really scared me. General Chang, please leave some more guards to protect my safety." After the princess said this, she set her eyes on Deputy General Cheng, "Thank you, Deputy General Cheng."
