"Twenty lashes!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone's expression changed.

The people from the embassy were all shocked. They had lived for so long, but it was the first time they had seen a prince of a country being subjected to twenty lashes. Even if they were experts with perfect mastery of their essence, energy, and spirit, they would not be able to easily withstand the lashes if they were serious.

Gongsun Di and Xun Zhiyin exchanged glances, their expressions becoming serious. Twenty lashes was not the outcome they wanted!

Upon hearing that he was going to be beaten, Ying Wuji didn't get angry. Instead, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, which he quickly concealed.

He had been a little worried just now that Ying Yue would order him to be taken back to Kingdom Qian.

After all, Kingdom Qian now had Ying Wuque, and he, as a hostage for exchange, had little value even if held by Kingdom Li. It would be a waste of diplomatic resources for Kingdom Li to keep him.

Even if Ying Yue did give the order, the resistance from Kingdom Li would not be particularly strong. If he were to return now, he would be falling into the hands of Ying Wuque's supporters and it would be troublesome.

But this father of his was really as domineering and calm as the legends said.

Ying Wuji had been observing Ying Yue's emotional bar all along. Even when he had insulted him just now, his emotions were far from reaching the level of triggering skills. Most of the time, he remained composed.@@novelbin@@

In other words, most of his anger was just a pretense. He only showed it to maintain his authority accumulated over the years.

Given the current situation in Kingdom Qian, with the financial leverage firmly in the hands of Kingdom Li, Ying Yue would not easily give up such a large order, no matter how angry he was.

Twenty lashes?
