Chapter 2641 Harmony and Female General 51
After washing away the fatigue and bloodstains, Su Li put on clean palace clothes and went to Beitang Shang to plead guilty.
Beitang Shang's expression was cold and his eyes were calm. He looked at Su Li who was kneeling below without saying a word.
There was no one else here except the father and daughter, and even Beitang Shang's confidant eunuchs were out. The huge hall was extremely quiet, without any sound.
Su Li knelt on the ground with a calm expression.
After a long time, Beitang Shang opened his mouth and said: "Do you know that the palace is an important place and outsiders are not allowed to enter the palace at will? Do you know that the princess of your country will be guilty of bringing a man back? This is filthy and disorderly in the palace, do you understand?"
"I acknowledge my guilt." Su Li bowed, "But the matter is urgent. Senior brother was injured because he was trying to save me. I want to save him."
Beitang Shang looked at her appearance and could hardly remember what his distressed daughter looked like a few years ago, which made him feel a little guilty. As she grew up, her face and eyes still had the shadow of her mother's, but her temperament was completely different.
She went into battle to kill the enemy, suffered a lot, and suffered a lot of injuries, just because she said this was her wish. But now, this little girl who returned from the battlefield has grown to a point that no one can ignore. Even him.
"If you knowingly commit a crime, your crime will be increased." Beitang Shang almost gritted his teeth when he said this.
"Senior brother is willing to get hurt for me, so why can't I make a mistake to save him? Father, I know my crime and am willing to be punished. No matter how you punish me, I will never complain." Su Li bowed again.
Beitang Shang closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Even if you are not allowed to leave the palace even half a step from now on?"
"If my father can calm down like this, I have nothing to say."
Beitang Shang looked at her with some struggle in his eyes. He turned his back and flicked his sleeves, "Go and kneel outside for two hours."
"Thank you, Father." Su Li bowed again, then quietly retreated and knelt at the door.
The weather at the end of summer was still a bit sultry, but Su Li seemed not to feel it at all, not even the slightest movement in her eyes.
The fourth prince Beitang Heng heard about this soon. He rushed to plead for Su Li, but was scolded by the emperor.
When he walked out, he looked at Su Li guiltily, "Yan'er... fourth brother is useless."
Su Li looked up at him, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said softly: "Thank you, fourth brother, for interceding for me, but my father is angry and I deserve to be punished."
"But the weather is so hot..." Bei Tangheng was a little anxious, "How can you, a little girl, endure kneeling for two hours?"
"Fourth brother, don't worry, it's nothing." Su Li comforted him with a smile, "You go back, it will be bad if my father gets angry with you later."
Beitang Heng sighed, his eyes full of distress, and at the same time he was also a little dissatisfied with Xiao Xu. But he saved Su Li again, so he shouldn't be blamed.
He stayed with Su Li for a while, and then was driven away by Su Li.
The little eunuch next to him stepped forward and said softly: "Princess, do you want to rest for a while?"
Su Li shook her head.
It was not until after sunset that the sky gradually darkened, and Su Li knelt for two full hours.
After she returned to the palace, she realized that Xiao Xu had woken up, but was still very weak due to excessive blood loss.
"Princess, please slow down." Yuan'er supported Su Li, "You have been kneeling for so long, you need to take a rest."
"It's okay." The corners of Su Li's mouth raised. It was worth it. Beitang Shang had already punished her, so he acquiesced to her keeping Xiao Xu in the palace so that he could get the best treatment.
