When heading out of the camp to find Ye Zhi, Gong Juechen didn't hold back at all. When he returned from the mountains, Gong Juechen had already anticipated what would happen, which was why he remained so composed.
But if these twenty military cudgels were to land on his heart's dearest… That simply wouldn't do!
Ye Zhi still refused to move aside.
Xiao Changyi said, "Obstructing the enforcement of military law, Deputy General Ye, are you intending to get twenty military cudgels alongside Military Doctor Gong?"
In other words, Gong Juechen had made up his mind. As for you, you can choose to be punished alongside Gong Juechen, or choose not to be punished.
Ye Zhi was someone who valued loyalty and camaraderie deeply. Seeing someone punished because of her, she would definitely feel uneasy. Rather than that, she might as well endure the punishment alongside that person. That way, she'd feel a bit better about it.
