Thirty lashes, go home and recuperate!
Compared to beheading, this punishment is far too lenient, so much so that Empress Qiao looked shocked, her face filled with disbelief.
How could this be, how could it have turned out like this?
Thirty lashes would take away half a life, but it won't kill him? This scheme was clearly set to end in death, how did it change at the last moment?
Wildfires never die, they burn anew with the spring wind; Li Qingmu is too tenacious, hitting him with a stick won't kill him, but it could pose endless troubles in the future!
He must be put to death!
She quickly said, "Emperor, you are too lenient, this child is so disrespectful and confrontational, and you only give him thirty lashes..."
Her voice was gentle and soft, not at all sounding like she was dissatisfied, but rather as if she were speaking on behalf of Qi Yun, yet the Emperor saw through her ploy with sharp insight and coldly smiled, asking, "Empress has objections?"
