Nanzhi Yun thought of these, and feared that Yu Jingchen would do something in a fit of rage again. She might have felt that Yu Jingchen was a bit different, but the long-standing shadow could not be erased in an instant. And she no longer dared to trust Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen did not speak for a long time, standing there. After a while, he looked down at Nanzhi Yun kneeling on the ground, and was silent again.
"Nanzhi Yun, do you like kneeling very much?" Yu Jingchen's voice grew cold.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, why he was so angry, but he also clearly knew it wasn't because of Nanzhi Yun's tears.
"Your Majesty, forgive me!" Nanzhi Yun curled up in fear. All the other palace servants in the room also knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, calm your anger!"
Yes, everyone could see that Yu Jingchen was angry.
But Nanzhi Yun only thought that Yu Jingchen was angry because she cried, thinking that he still hated her as usual, and wanted to find an excuse to punish her.
Nanzhi Yun suddenly felt a sense of desolation, and even stopped intending to beg for mercy. If Yu Jingchen really wanted to punish her, it would be the same no matter what she said, and perhaps by saying more, she would be punished more severely, which was not impossible, so it was better to admit guilt directly.
"Your concubine knows her mistake, please Your Majesty punish me." Nanzhi Yun was almost disheartened.
Yu Jingchen fell silent again, and Nanzhi Yun did not dare to make any other moves. Her posture was standard, so it was extremely uncomfortable. However, no matter how painful it was, she could only kneel there obediently.
Nanzhi Yun knew that Yu Jingchen was angry, which was why he had not spoken, and this was also a punishment. Her illness had not fully recovered, and although she had not knelt for long, her complexion became even worse after kneeling for a while.
"Weren't you always afraid of being punished? Why are you actively seeking punishment now? If I want to punish you, do you know what you will encounter? Can you bear it?" Yu Jingchen looked at Nanzhi Yun's increasingly pale face, his tone showing no sign of improvement.
"Your concubine knows she has committed Your Majesty's great taboo and dare not beg for mercy," Nanzhi Yun replied.
But her answer made Yu Jingchen even angrier.
"Nanzhi Yun!" Yu Jingchen called her name, furious.
Nanzhi Yun trembled all over at Yu Jingchen's cry. He had never called her name so loudly, and must have been extremely angry.
"Please Your Majesty punish me." Nanzhi Yun almost prostrated herself on the ground.
"You are truly something," Yu Jingchen said only this.
Nanzhi Yun's heart grew colder and colder. This time, she feared she would lose half her life again.
Yu Jingchen looked at Nanzhi Yun kneeling on the ground, his anger growing. After all, he had shown her favor, and now she dared to defy him.
However, Yu Jingchen seemed to have overlooked something. The Nanzhi Yun of the past was actually like this, but what was he thinking then? Oh, feigned sincerity, naturally noble. Did she really think he wouldn't punish her? Or did she think that by saying a few false words, he would let her off? No, he would only punish her more severely.
Nanzhi Yun was like this now, but his mindset was indeed different. And he seemed to have not discovered a very important thing, which was what exactly he was angry about.
"You want to be punished so badly? I can grant your wish." Yu Jingchen's tone was slightly cold.
