Li Xin honestly admitted his fault, saying, "I failed in my duty, so I'll take the punishment of a hundred lashes myself."
"Hmph!" Although Huangfu Lingyao was dissatisfied, he couldn't vent his anger on Li Xin. Li Xin was his right-hand man, handling many matters that he couldn't deal with personally.
Moreover, Li Xin, despite being talkative, was quite efficient in his work. He carefully observed Huangfu Lingyao's expression and asked, "Eldest Miss Liu... she's not injured, is she?"
"If she's hurt, I'll cut off your arm!" Huangfu Lingyao glared at him.
Li Xin looked mournful and inquired, "Master, are you planning to enter the palace or return to the mansion to recuperate?"
Hearing this, Huangfu Lingyao stared at him incredulously, "Do you think I'm out of my mind?"
