The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 1117 - 697: Continuing to Slap Feng Xiyun’s Face (Second Update)
Even though An Ning was fully prepared.
For example, if Xiao Jinxing thought twenty slaps were too much and changed it to ten, or five, she would still argue her point and refuse to compromise.
Her patience with Feng Xiyun had reached its limit.
She couldn’t let go of her anger today without venting it.
She never expected that Xiao Jinxing would just have someone else punish Feng Xiyun.
In fact.
As the Empress, personally punishing someone would diminish her own status. The reason she was doing it herself was because she wasn’t sure of Xiao Jinxing’s attitude towards Feng Xiyun. She was worried that if she let someone else punish, it might implicate the person, so she didn’t want to involve the innocent and opted to do it herself.
At this moment, with Xiao Jinxing giving the order himself, he obviously had no such concerns.
When Feng Xiyun heard Xiao Jinxing’s order, her whole being froze.
The joy in her heart vanished in an instant, like a bucket of cold water, drenching her completely and leaving her in utter disappointment.
Wasn’t the emperor supposed to have affection and sympathy for her?!
The emperor’s actions at this moment showed no signs of affection towards her, instead, it was favoring the Empress.
The Empress’s noble status indeed made it unfitting for her to directly carry out this menial task of punishing someone.
With this realization, Feng Xiyun’s face turned pale.
She couldn’t maintain the facade of being pitiful and weak anymore.
She had never been this devastated before.
From childhood to adulthood, she never failed to get what she wanted.
The first time she saw the emperor, she was smitten by his handsome and imposing demeanor, which was why she went to the border at all costs just to attract his attention and gradually get closer to him, waiting for him to fall in love with her without revealing her own feelings.
Everything was going according to plan, smoothly and well.
Though there were events she couldn’t accept, like being fed medicine mouth-to-mouth by her Maid in Changmen County, which became a lifelong shadow, otherwise, everything was going smoothly.
Yet just when she thought she was about to succeed, all her previous efforts seemed to have gone down the drain.
She even felt, as long as An Ning was around, everything she did was in vain.
Her eyes were red with suppressed anger, her body trembling.
She heard the emperor’s order again, "Gong Jingyi, administer twenty slaps to Doctor Feng on behalf of the Empress."
Feng Xiyun’s eyes widened in shock.
How strong is Gong Jingyi’s hand?!
Even during the body search just now, she could barely endure the pain.
If those slaps really landed on her face, it would be unimaginable pain.
"I obey, Your Majesty." Gong Jingyi didn’t hesitate a bit.
Most military generals were straightforward, especially those who had been fighting outside for years, not knowing how to deal cunningly.
She walked up to Feng Xiyun.
Anyone who could read the situation wouldn’t have hit hard.
After all, she still had some reputation as an Imperial Physician and was the emperor’s savior.
There would have been some leniency.
However, this Gong Jingyi had no idea of reading the room, delivering a slap with a "smack".
Almost making Feng Xiyun burst into tears.
Compared to the slap An Ning had given earlier, it was like comparing a minor incident to a major catastrophe.
Before Feng Xiyun could even react.
The next slap came again.
Followed by countless "smack, smack" sounds quickly falling on her face, one side then the other. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
After a full twenty slaps.
Gong Jingyi completed her task and stepped back to the side.
Feng Xiyun was left seeing stars.
Her face was so swollen it was unrecognizable.
She wanted to cry, but any tug at her facial muscles brought pain.
It hurt so much that tears flowed uncontrollably.
She looked utterly wretched.
An Ning just stood there watching Feng Xiyun being beaten, truly a pitiful sight.
Her delicate, weak appearance, like a fragile beauty, seemed as if she would topple over at the slightest touch. After enduring twenty full slaps, it seemed her frame simply couldn’t withstand it.
An Ning felt a slight sense of satisfaction.
Thinking about how she had traveled so far to find Xiao Jinxing, only to nearly perish because of Feng Xiyun, and when she expected to see Xiao Jinxing, the scene she encountered was the intimacy between Feng Xiyun and Xiao Jinxing, her fury was unbearable.
So, how could just twenty slaps suffice to quell her anger?!
Twenty slaps were merely an appetizer to torment Feng Xiyun.
The main event was yet to come.
An Ning’s eyes narrowed, her voice cold, "Just now, you said my token was taken by Feng Xiyun?!"
