Sir, Please Stop Hitting Me! I Know I Was Wrong!

[Scheming, Two-Faced Emperor Gong x Cold, Sharp-Tongued Chancellor Shou] (The shou is frail + both devoted only to each other + younger gong + winning back his wife + fictional setting, no-brain fun)

"Sir, please stop hitting me! I know I was wrong!"

"And you dare dodge?"

A new schoolteacher recently arrived in a small fishing village. He looked frail and out of breath after every few steps, but his martial prowess was off the charts whenever he taught a lesson.

The few disciples he took in all said the same thing: You won't know what Sir's ruler is like until you've tried it!

Especially after their junior disciple, nicknamed Qi Er, showed up, Sir's temper got worse by the day.

"Qi Er came in with his left foot today. Thirty strokes."

"Qi Er blinked during class today. Thirty strokes."

"Qi Er left school with his left foot today. Thirty strokes."

The senior disciples wondered, "Huh? Are we getting punished too?"

The guards on the roof listened to His Majesty wailing all day and heard Sir Ji **** at night. They silently pulled out two cotton balls and plugged their ears.

With red eyes, Qi Jingyan looked at Ji Beishu, who was resting with his eyes closed, then awkwardly reached out to tug at his sleeve.

"Are you done being angry, Sir? I promise I won't **** you again."

"How dare you say that!"

"I won't say it again. Sir, does this count as sneaking away from home to have an affair?"

"..."

Qi Jingyan ascended the throne at eight, and Ji Beishu, who was ten years older, stayed by his side as his advisor.

Then, when Qi Jingyan turned twenty and began ruling in his own right, he made the mistake every emperor makes.

"Could it be that Sir has ulterior motives?"

One drunken remark led to a night of reckless passion. The next morning, Ji Beishu was gone.

Only after Qi Jingyan tracked him down to the fishing village did he start climbing onto rooftops, tearing up the place, and bickering with his senior disciples, all for one reason: "Please, hit me!"

Everyone else thought, What a lunatic.

Qi Jingyan narrowed his eyes. "Anyone who points out My faults to My face fails the imperial examination!"
