Single Blow

"Waah, she's so pretty"

Tu offered his body to stand next to BaiYing so that the prisoners' dirty hands couldn't touch his master.

"Insolent! Put your hands down!"

No one, even until the last step at the end of the prison room, BaiYing did not find his maids there. He turned to the prison guard who was standing not far behind him.

"Where are the two ladies who were detained since yesterday, Yan and Bi? Aren't they being held here?" BaiYing asked. The prison guard stuttered, he glanced at other guards who were standing not far behind him before answering.

"Eh that"

BaiYing was impatient, if they were not there then where could they be?

"Where are the two ladies? Hurry up and say it! " BaiYing's loud voice made the two prison guards immediately lower their bodies in fear of his loud voice.

"Spare our life, Your Majesty"

...….

A groaning sound.

"Akhh!"

The sound of loud lashes, groans, and cries again sounded inside the door of the Lotus pavilion. One of the Concubine's pavilions.

"Oh, Your Majesty! Please spare our life, ackh!" the sound of crying in pain in the courtyard of the pavilion where several large guards held two young girls on the ground. Yan and Bi who were wearing prison clothes who were now torn here and there because the strong whip had been slammed on their small bodies since earlier.

"Ah, Your Majesty!"

Yan and Bi's two hands and feet were bound, Yan had even fallen with his face stuck to the ground after her whole body was used up in the whip. They were now whipping Bi mercilessly.

"No, please"

Yan could only cry. Her body was crushed. She hurt everywhere. Some of her fingers were broken after being tortured and now they pelted them with large whips from the muscular hands of the trained palace guards.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty"

Phakk!!

The sound of the whip landed on Bi's back again.

The person who was none other than Concubine LuiFan, sitting comfortably on her chair behind the shadow of the sun in front of her pavilion courtyard, grinned.

"Just say who ordered you to do it? Is that your Concubine who planned it? That's true, right? It's useless to hide the truth that will reveal itself in the end."

Yan and Bi shook their heads. Even though their bodies were already hurt everywhere, but both of them were ready to die for Concubine Hua.

"No, that is not true, Her Majesty Concubine Hua did not do anything, we beg Your Majesty, be kind to let us go"

Concubine Lui shook her head to the very large bodyguard who was holding a whip. The huge giat guard then exerted his strength and slammed the black whip back into Bi's little body.

Phakk !!

"Akhhh !!" Bi's screams of pain sounded heartbreaking, even some of the other servants who were around couldn't bear to see it.

"Stop it!" suddenly from the door, BaiYing ran in,

"Sister Yan! Sister Bi!"

"Huks, Your Majesty!" exclaimed the two small maids with their weak voices,

The guard tried to block BaiYing but Tu thrust out his body.

"How presumptuous! You dare to block Concubine Hua! " exclaimed the young man,

The two guard did not budge, both of them only obeyed the pavilion owner, concubine Lui, who now glared at BaiYing.

BaiYing almost burst into tears, seeing his two maids lying on the ground with bodies covered in wounds and punches everywhere. The small helpless two poor girls.

"Sister Yan, Sister Bi"

BaiYing looked at Concubine Lui. He never thought she could torture his maids like that.

"Sister Fan'er, how could you do this? What made you beat them up? If His Majesty the Crown Prince finds out ... "

Concubine Lui stood up from her seat.

"What if Your Majesty finds out? Will he punish me? Where's my fault. I only helped him get information from two suspects who almost killed Concubine Ye, is that wrong?" She stood walking a few steps while looking at the long and beautiful nails on her fingers, glancing at BaiYing sharply.

"Sisters, you both hold on, I will take you both out of here, just change on there," BaiYing said with a smile.

The two maids nodded. But LuiFan's eyes still looked dissatisfied, she glanced at the guard who was holding the whip and shook her head again.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and continue! " She exclaimed, immediately the two guards holding the large whips raised their whips and slammed them to Yan and Bi's bodies in turn.

"No!!"

BaiYing still couldn't get closer. The two guards held his body and he couldn't do anything to see his two little servants moaning in pain.

"Akhhh!"

"No, please stop! They are innocent! Sister Fan, I beg you, please let them go! "

The sound of a loud whip that landed on the bare skins of the two little servants sounded shrill.

Phakk !!

Concubine Lui seemed to be enjoying it. Seeing the desperate and crushed face on BaiYing who saw his two servants who might soon die at the guard's hands. They are just two little un-important and useless servants, even if they died no one would blame her. The main thing was she's satisfied.

"No, don't," BaiYing kept shouting.

Tu tried to hold back BaiYing's body, who was trying to break off from the guards hand. He didn't give him way in until he kicked one of the guards in the leg with all his might and managed to escape.

"Sisters!"

BaiYing pushed into the courtyard and headed straight for his two servants who kept receiving the lashes incessantly. The long whips floating on Yan's small body and Bi and could not possibly be pulled back when BaiYing ran in between to hug them. Hence, the whip hit his back so hard.

"Akhh!" 

Everyone held their breath, even the concubine Lui got up from her seat not expecting that stupid concubine will throw herself between her maids and the guards. The two guards who were holding the whips stopped their hand. Their hands is shaking. What have they done? Both were stunned in their place looking at the concubine Lui.

"Your Majesty" shouted Yan and Bi holding BaiYing's body that fell while hug them. But, even though he was in pain, BaiYing tried to smile at them. This was only one lash and he already felt like dying, how about them who keep receiving a blow?

"Your Majesty" Both girl crying so loud.

Everyone stood still, apart from not being able to continue the whipping, they also could not refuse the order of the Concubine Lui who now stood still in her place with wide wide eyes. She clenched her fists in annoyance but in her deepest heart. She was a little satisfied to see the helpless Concubine's body in front of her. Did she wanted to die?
