At the same time as the palace drum was beaten, the palace also began to boil, and the emperor, who was discussing disaster relief matters with the minister, was also stunned immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "Who is beating the drum at this time?" ”

The little eunuch walked in from outside, leaned over and said respectfully: "Go back to the emperor, the slave will go out and have a look." ”

"Hmmm! The sound of the drum is pleasant, there must be a big injustice, this matter must be treated carefully, the discussion between the two Aiqing today is over, and the rest of me will discuss with the imperial uncle. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers have retreated."

"Hmm!" As the two ministers retreated, the emperor also stood up and walked outside.

Lord Qinghong of Dali Temple walked out, looked at the woman under the palace drum and said in a deep voice: "Who is beating the drum here?" ”

Gong Yueya handed the drum stick to Tao Yueru, and then knelt straight towards Lord Qinghong of Dali Temple.

"The people's daughter Gong Yueya has grievances to sue, and she deliberately sounded the palace drum, hoping that the adults will be accommodating, so that the people's daughters can meet the emperor to appeal for grievances."

"It turns out that you are the current head of the Gong family."

"Yes, please be accommodating."

Lord Hong said in a deep voice: "Do you know the consequences of beating the palace drum, if you want to see the emperor sue the emperor, you will have to bear fifty board punishment, if you have a life to live, you can see the emperor, if you die after fifty board punishment, then the gain outweighs the loss, and you have lost a life in vain." ”

"The people's daughter knows, and she also asks Lord Hong to arrange the board punishment, and the people's daughter dies without regrets."

Lord Hong shook his head, "Since you insist on doing so, then the official can't go against the will of the people, so this is arranged." ”

"Come on, get on the board."

"Wait a minute," Tao Yueru knelt down, "Lord Hong, the folk girl Tao Yueru wants to share half of the board for Yueya, I hope to be gracious." ”

"The moon is like a no."

Lord Hong said in a deep voice: "It is impossible to share the board, who sues and must bear all the punishments, will you sue this case or not?" ”

"Sue!"

Yueya's sonorous and powerful voice echoed outside the entire Dali Temple, and soon the guards brought stools and planks, and everyone gasped, after all, the news of Xiao Zhe's death was well known, and the second master of the Xiao family surrendered, the whole incident was confusing and became the focus of attention in the whole capital.

"Please! The head of the palace family. ”

Yueya got up and went to the stool, Tao Yueru closed her eyes, after all, she couldn't do anything, tears slipped down, she looked behind her, she could only hope that Feng Xuche could come, otherwise Yueya would really be finished.

The board fell heavily on Yueya's body, and every blow made her heartbreak, she felt that her soul was about to be beaten, and every time the board hit the depths of her soul.

"Smack!" One after another, the skin and flesh bloomed everywhere the board went, Yueya's face was pale, and her forehead was full of cold sweat, she gritted her teeth and told herself to persevere, carefully counting each board that fell on her body.

After twenty boards, Yueya rolled down from the stool, blood soaking her skirt, and all the boards on the ground were covered in blood.

"Yueya! I'll do it! I'll beat the drum again, I'll put up with the fifty big boards," Tao Yueru couldn't cry.

Yueya shook her head, a smile appeared on her pale face, "I'm fine, I can't give up halfway, I only have thirty boards." ”

When Lord Hong saw this scene, he also felt compassion, and he reminded: "Miss Gong, don't give up!" This official made an exception once to let you go back safely, and I won't sue you. ”

"Don't, thank you, Lord Hong, I can still insist, please continue."

"Hey!" Lord Hong raised his hand, Tao Yueru was dragged away, and then the board continued, and it was the top ten boards that passed, Yueya couldn't support it, and felt like she was dying.

The board continued to fall, and Jiang Su rushed to scold, "Stop." ”

When Lord Hong saw Jiang Su, he hurriedly greeted him, "It turned out to be Lord Jiang, you are ......"

"Lord Hong, this palace Yueya is the person our prince wants to protect, please make it convenient."

"I'm sorry, Lord Jiang, this is the rule set by the emperor, and we can't help it! If the emperor blames this, then I will be miserable, after all, everything pays attention to the rules. ”

Jiang Su threatened in a deep voice, "Are you not giving face to the prince?" ”

"Please understand."

Yueya looked at Jiang Su standing in front of her, she smiled weakly, "Lord Jiang, the folk girl is just a peasant woman, she is not qualified to let you intercede, let alone have a relationship with the prince, please don't delay my process." ”

"Lord Hong, please!"

"Offended, Master Jiang," Lord Hong waved his hand, and the guard continued to wave the board at Yueya.

At this moment, a black shadow fell from the sky, standing in front of Yueya, a strong chill appeared on his gloomy face, and he looked straight at Lord Hong, "Lord Hong is really upright, and he doesn't even give the face of this king?" ”

The sharp voice and powerful momentum make people feel cold.

Tao Yueru was overjoyed, "Lord Wang, if you don't come, Yueya will die." ”

Yueya heard the voice, raised her head slightly, she looked at the man in a black robe in front of her, her heart fell, and she closed her eyes in pain.

He was still dazzling, and she was embarrassed, and she realized that the disparity between the two people, one was like a pearl, and the other was like mud, and she and he really didn't match.

Lord Hong hurriedly knelt down, "The prince arrived, and he missed the distance, but Miss Gong was wronged and wanted to find the emperor to make the decision, and the punishment was indispensable, and there was no way to do it." ”

"The emperor's rules are rules, and the rules of this king are not rules!"

"Why is it difficult for Lord Hong, he just acts according to the rules, and I also ask the prince not to disturb me to be punished, even if I die today, I will see the emperor."

Feng Xuche retracted his gaze and looked at her, the blood on her body stung his eyes, and he said in pain: "Why don't you come to this king?" What happened to me to beat the palace drum, is this king so distrustful? ”

Yueya smiled bitterly, "Can you find it?" ”

Feng Xuche squatted down and tried to pick her up, but she pushed her away, "Lord Wang, please respect yourself, the folk girl is a pariah, I can't bear your arms, and the blood on my body is afraid of staining your robes." ”

"How did you become like this?"

"Is there something wrong with this king, so you are angry?"

Yueya smiled weakly, "The prince didn't do anything wrong, it's the people's daughter who doesn't know the severity and wishful thinking, in the future, you and I will break off the righteousness, don't have anything to do with it." ”

"Gong Yueya!" Feng Xuche was distressed and angry, he didn't understand why she was talking like this, he hugged her and never let go.

"Go away," with all her strength, Yueya pushed him away.

"Gong Yueya, what did this king do wrong, you have to push this king away like this."

Tao Yueru stepped forward, "What does it mean for the prince to let that woman humiliate Yueya, and now she is so aggrieved." ”

Feng Xuche frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "What did Meng Qingyi do?" ”

"What did she do? The prince doesn't know? Yueya was framed and killed Xiao Zhe was imprisoned in the county government and almost killed, if it wasn't for Xiao Erye to save me and exchange herself for Yueya, she had already been beaten to death by Lord Xiong, we came out to your mansion to ask you to make decisions for us, that Yinxin didn't let us go in and insulted in every way, and stabbed Yueya, since you are already going to marry Meng Qingyi, why do you pretend to question Yueya. ”
