The guard gave her an indifferent glance and ignored her.
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then tugged out a slight smile and continued to plead, "Guard, I really need to see the Emperor, I know him. Could you please announce me? Just say Su Yan... ah..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a long whip lashed down, striking her bare back fiercely.
Su Yan jumped up in pain, which in turn aggravated the wounds on her chest and arms.
It hurt so much...
She clenched her teeth tightly, her forehead covered in dense sweat.
Looking up, it was a general on horseback who had whipped her.
The man looked at her coldly, his eyes growing even colder as they met her angry gaze.
"Don't let me hear you speak again, otherwise, my whip won't be kind!" he told her coldly, his voice colder than the October weather.
"I want to see the Emperor, I know the Emperor," Su Yan glared back defiantly.
Seeing the whip about to strike again, she screamed in fright, covering her head.
