Emperor Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Ling's actions in disbelief, and he was extremely angry.

Xiao Ling stood in front, and the guards didn't dare to step forward.

I saw Xiao Ling kneel down suddenly, holding back the tears that wanted to burst out of his eyes, "What my father said is that my son has no respect for his elders and does not know the rules, and I implore my father to punish my son and spare innocent people."

"Okay, you...... You really have hardened wings, and you dare to stand up to your father!"

Emperor Zhou Yuan was so angry that he was incoherent, he crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at Xiao Ling with the other, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The prince knew the most people's eyes, and hurriedly whispered to persuade Xiao Ling: "Fifth princess, don't be angry with the emperor, quickly accept it."

Emperor Zhou Yuan's eyes glanced down at Xiao Ling, and when he saw that she was still deaf and motionless, he instantly exploded in anger, and then glanced at the rest of the people in the hall, and said angrily: "Okay, since you want to take on this responsibility, I will do what you want!" You go and get ...... yourself."

Before he finished speaking, the prince beside him was frightened, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper: "Your Majesty, the hour is not early, it's time to go to the court early."

As soon as the prince interrupted like this, Emperor Zhou Yuan also realized that he had spoken too seriously, so he immediately changed his words: "Go and kneel outside the hall, when you figure it out and when you get up again."

With that, he angrily brushed his sleeves away.

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Ling bowed his head and sent him away.

After everyone in the hall left, Yun An hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiao Ling get up.

"You don't have to, princess."

Yun An looked at the teary-eyed Xiao Ling, her long and dense eyelashes flickered slightly with tears, and there was a trace of panic in her firm gaze, she slowly looked up at Emperor Zhou Yuan's back and walked away, and exhaled a long breath.

"Scared the hell out of me."

Xiao Ling was about to wipe the tears on her face with her sleeve, but found that the sleeves were a little dirty, at this time a handkerchief was handed to her, she looked up at Yun An, and naturally took the handkerchief and wiped the tears on her face.

"That's fifty boards, if I don't stop it, your life will be in danger." Xiao Ling smiled proudly at Yun An, not taking his punishment to heart at all.

"It's a *** life, so why should you be punished?" Yun An's tone was not as detached as before, and there was a trace of distress in his eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling frowned slightly, "What are you talking nonsense? From the moment you came to the Thousand Spirits Palace seven years ago, you were a part of the Thousand Spirits Palace, how could I disregard your lives?"

Yun An looked at Xiao Ling silently and did not speak for a while.

Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and grabbed Yun An's wrist and got up, and the two walked towards the door of the hall.

Xiao Ling walked out of the hall, looked up at the weather, and said with satisfaction: "Fortunately, the weather is good today, there is no sun, and it is quite cool."

Xiao Ling straightened the hem of her skirt and knelt in the middle upright, she looked behind her, "What are you kneeling down for?"

"My subordinates are with you." Yun An said lightly.

「…… Why do you need to find companionship in the matter of punishment? Hurry up."

However, Yun'an was still the same as before, kneeling with his back straight and refusing to get up.

It's better than taking fifty boards.

Xiao Ling no longer dissuaded.

Xiao Ling had too much fun last night, and he knelt here without even using breakfast at this time, and his body quickly became tired.

Her straight back gradually relaxed, her ass sat on her heels, and she lowered her head and yawned sleepily.

Seeing that the hour is almost over, why hasn't my father gone down to the court yet?

Xiao Ling lightly hammered his numb leg, turned his head to look out, and muttered in a low voice, "Why haven't you come yet?"

She withdrew her gaze from a distance, and saw Yun An behind her, who was still standing with her back straight and her eyes always following her, and wondered, "Aren't you tired?"

"Okay." Yun An replied briefly.

Xiao Ling nodded, yes, people who practice martial arts, their bodies are indeed much tougher.

She continued to hang her head, playing with the ornament around her waist in her hands, but her eyelids were fighting.

I don't know how long it took, a cool breeze blew on his body, Xiao Ling's back was cold, and he was beaten all over

A cold war, instantly sobered up a lot.

"How did the sky change?"

Xiao Ling opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the black clouds, the black clouds were almost sinking overhead, and the wind was blowing so that the branches outside were lowered.

"Yun'an, what time is it?"

The overwhelming black clouds overwhelmed her, and Xiao Ling felt uneasy.

"It's noon."

Noon......

A gust of wind blew, causing Xiao Ling's clothes to fly, her hair accessories were messy, and she could barely open her eyes.

Yun An silently moved behind her, straightened his back, and blocked the wind for her.

"Look at this day, I'm afraid there will be heavy rain, you go back first." Xiao Ling shouted at Yun An with a loud voice.

"Subordinates don't leave."

"......" Xiao Ling said helplessly: "My father has not come here at this time, maybe something big has happened in the court, and I have no time to take care of me, it is useless for you to guard here, it is better to go back to Qianling Palace and remind Mo'er to prepare ginger soup for me."

Xiao Ling said bitterly, but he only got three words from Yun An, "I'm not leaving."

「……」

In the Cining Palace, a group of doctors were in a hurry.

"The medicine is coming, the medicine is coming." Qin Lai hurriedly rushed in with the freshly boiled medicine.

"Give me the medicine, and I will serve my mother personally." Emperor Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand to take the decoction, and Qin Lai carefully helped the empress dowager up.

"Mother, take the medicine quickly." Emperor Zhou Yuan carefully blew the medicine in the soup spoon, and gently coaxed the queen mother to take the medicine.

"This medicine is very bitter, and the mourning family doesn't like to eat it......" The queen mother turned her head away in disgust, she really didn't even want to smell the slightest smell of Chinese medicine.

"Your body is so weak, how can you do it without medicine? Take another bite."

Emperor Zhou Yuan patiently coaxed, but the empress dowager regretted and said: "Recently, the mourning family has not been able to fight, and even Xiao Ling's birthday mourning family was not able to attend yesterday, fortunately, Xiao Ling, this child has been sensible since he was a child, and he came to Cining Palace early yesterday morning to ask the mourning family to say goodbye."

Emperor Zhou Yuan lowered his head and listened to the teachings of his mother, and when she was tired, Emperor Zhou Yuan fed him a spoonful of decoction: "The queen mother said very well, how about taking the medicine first?"

The Empress Dowager glared at Emperor Zhou Yuan angrily, and said in disgust: "Can't you hear the meaning of the mourning family's words? The mourning family misses Xiao Ling, you quickly let Xiao Ling accompany the mourning family, and the mourning family will be cured of any illness."

"But the queen mother, this decoction needs to be drunk while it is hot."

"But what's the matter, the decoction you feed is not as delicious as Xiao Ling's feeding, and the mourning family likes to drink Xiao Ling's feed."

「……」

Emperor Zhou Yuan glanced at Qin Lai on the side, and Qin Lai understood, and stepped forward to persuade: "Queen Mother, it is windy and rainy outside at this time, if the fifth princess is brought here at this moment, she is afraid that she will catch a cold."

It was noon, but the house was so dark that it was hard to see, and a strong wind swept across the roof, blowing out the candles lit in the house.

Rao can clearly hear the sound of rain outside even inside the house.

The Queen Mother listened to the movement outside and shook her head, "You really can't let Xiao Ling get cold."

Sure enough, the next generation.

Emperor Zhou Yuan shook his head helplessly, and deliberately said, "Eh, since the medicine fed by Xiao Ling is more delicious, then I can't let the queen mother drink such a bitter medicine, Wang De, go and pass on Xiao Ling."

The Queen Mother was anxious, "You ......

Before she finished speaking, she saw Wang De on the side with an ugly look and stepped forward and reminded in a whisper: "Back to the emperor, the fifth princess is still kneeling outside the Wende Palace."

！！！

Emperor Zhou Yuan suddenly remembered, slapped his thigh, and almost knocked over the decoction in his hand, "Xiao Ling is still kneeling in the Wende Palace?"

"Yes, you personally ordered her not to get up."

Feeling the gloomy gaze from the Empress Dowager next to him, Emperor Zhou Yuan hurriedly said, "When did I say such a thing? What I said was to get her up when she thought it through."

"But the fifth princess, she hasn't figured it out yet."

「……

」

Something happened in the court today, he was already anxious, and there was a palace maid in the court who reported that the queen mother refused to take medicine, and he hurriedly came to Cining Palace, and actually forgot the little spirit outside the Wende Palace.

He originally thought that according to Xiao Ling's temperament, he would have gone back a long time ago.

"You actually punished Xiao Ling?" The queen mother's eyes widened in anger, and she stretched out her hand to hit him, so frightened that Emperor Zhou Yuan hurriedly handed the decoction in his hand to Qin Lai.

The Queen Mother pointed to the closed window, "It's raining so hard outside, you actually have the heart to make her kneel? Poor little spirit of the mourning family, who has been loved and clever since childhood, but now he has been punished in vain."

"Mother, I didn't punish her for nothing." Emperor Zhou Yuan tried to explain a thing or two to himself.

"So what?" She didn't ask the reason, she only pretended to cry and said, "Even if Xiao Ling is still young and has done something wrong, can't you, as a father, take care of it more? You have to be more patient to teach her. I think when you climbed up to the Jinluan Palace to uncover the tiles in the early days of the first emperor, did the first emperor say half a sentence about you? Isn't it also patiently taught to you?"

"......" really didn't say anything to me, but chased him through the garden with a feather duster, and finally he couldn't get out of bed for three days.

"Yes, yes, the queen mother is educated."

The Queen Mother slapped her on the couch and asked, "Then what are you still doing here?"

"Huh?"

"Why don't you hurry up and see the precious granddaughter of the mourning family!"

"Mother, it's raining outside." He's also an old man, and he also needs to escape the cold.

"If you don't hurry up when it rains, if you let Xiao Ling get typhoid fever, the mourning family will not spare you."

「……」

Outside the Wende Palace, there were two chickens that knelt stubbornly on the spot, refusing to leave.

Xiao Ling and Yun An knelt at the door of the main hall, although there was an eaves to cover them, but today the demon wind was blowing wildly, and the stone steps were already dripping.

"Princess, this wind and rain is too bad, I'm afraid your body can't bear it, or go back to the palace."

Yun An's clothes were already soaked, and she still knelt behind Xiao Ling with her back straight, silently shielding her from most of the wind and rain.

Xiao Ling turned to look at him, he was soaked, even his hair was spilled with rain, Xiao Ling's fingers touched the hem of his skirt that was half wet, his legs were already numb, and there was a trace of impulse to get up in his heart, but he gave up.

"Well, if I leave now, won't I admit that my father is right, then there will still be fifty boards waiting for you, and we will kneel in vain today."
