Reborn from the ashes: The Fifth Miss Devil

"Even if I kneel to death in front of the emperor and the empress, I will keep my child. Tell my mother, thank her for reminding me. I'll go first." Mrs. Wei Guogong got up, staggered and walked out .

Xue Chengli couldn't bear to look at his sister, and wanted to help her several times, but finally endured it.In the end, he sighed and withdrew his hand, watching his sister being supported away by an old woman.

Mrs. Wei Guogong left Xue's mansion and went to the palace again.It's just that without calling, she naturally couldn't go in.

Someone handed a message to Empress Luo, and after waiting for an hour, the eunuch of Kunfu Palace brought Empress Luo's decree and asked Mrs. Wei Guogong to go back.

"No, please tell your mother that she must see me, otherwise, I won't be able to kneel here forever." Mrs. Wei Guogong bent her knees and knelt at the gate of the palace.

Huo Yanlin and the little eunuch of Kunfu Palace who were following him were shocked.

"Mother..." Huo Yanlin looked at Mrs. Wei Guogong and shouted in a low voice.

"You don't have to worry about me, I will kneel until the emperor and empress change their minds." Mrs. Wei Guogong said resolutely.

The imperial army didn't dare to drive away Mrs. Wei, so the little eunuch had to hurry back to Kunfu Palace to report to Empress Luo.

Half an hour later, a group of mothers from Kunfu Palace came out from the palace, led by Grandma Sun.

When they arrived in front of Mrs. Wei Guogong, the two nuns picked up Mrs. Wei Guogong and sent them to the carriage.

"Mrs. Wei Guogong, my mother said, it's useless for you to do this. Besides, you, a lady of the public, kneel at the gate of the palace. How decent is it? If you offend the emperor, there will be only harm and no benefit." Sun Nanny helped Pushing Mrs. Wei Guogong into the carriage, he whispered to her.

After finishing speaking, Nanny Sun turned to Huo Yanlin: "Master Huo, my mother asked me to tell you to send your mother back to the house as soon as possible. Your mother can lose her mind, but you have to stay awake."

"...Yes." Huo Yanlin lowered his head and replied with a heavy face.

"Follow Mrs. Wei Guogong back to the mansion. If Mrs. Wei Guogong wants to enter the palace, stop her." Nanny Sun turned to the two nuns beside her and ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes." The two nuns replied respectfully, and then got into the carriage, and pulled Mrs. Wei Guogong, who was struggling to get off, back into the carriage. .

Huo Yanlin took a deep breath, and said goodbye to Nanny Sun with proper etiquette, then got on the horse and told the coachman to set off.

Mrs. Wei Guogong's wife came from the carriage with an unwilling and mournful voice: "I want to see my mother—"

Grandma Sun watched the carriage go away, and sighed...

Cao Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, waited for a whole day until night fell, but he did not wait for the news that Luo Huang had spared Huo Yankun's five people.

So, Cao Yan ascended to the hall overnight and interrogated Huo Yankun and five people.

Regarding the facts listed in the censor's memorial, Huo Yankun and the five of them all admitted without daring to deny.

Therefore, Huo Yankun, who was convicted of disrespect to the royal family, must first suffer 120 boards.

Huo Yankun was tied to the bench in the hall, and the two yamen servants picked up the board, and when Cao Yan gave an order, they beat it down with a crackling sound.

Huo Yankun immediately screamed out, because his mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, so his voice sounded muffled.

After hitting thirty big boards, Huo Yankun didn't even have the strength to scream, but every time he was hit, his whole body would twitch in pain, and occasionally he would let out a weak moan.
