Xu Miaoyin said: "Imperial Concubine."
Nan Yan originally looked at them calmly, but when she heard the empress calling her, she immediately raised her head: "What is the empress's order?"
Xu Miaoyin said: "She is your sister, how should I deal with it, do you have any opinions?"
Nan Yan hurriedly said: "The empress is the lord of the six palaces, how to deal with it is naturally the empress who has the final say."
"The emperor canonized you as a noble concubine, and also gave you the power to assist the sixth palace."
"..."
"I want to hear your opinion on this matter."
"This—" Nan Yan thought for a while, then looked at Simu Lan who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "This is the first time I have encountered such an unfaithful and unfilial person, and I don't know how to deal with it. Why don't we follow the old rules?" Let's do it."
"Old example."
Xu Miaoyin thought for a while, then turned her head and said, "Little Men, if such unfaithful and unfilial incidents occur in all states and counties, how will the criminals be punished?"
The little eunuch, Xiao Menzi, stepped forward and said: "My queen, as far as my servants know, if such people appear in all states and counties, they will be punished with whipping and paraded in the streets. If the circumstances are serious, they will be stripped of their skins and weeds. Grind to ashes."
Upon hearing this, Simu Lan was frightened half to death.
Reckless, she walked up to Nan Yan on her knees, hugged her leg and cried bitterly: "Nan Yan—oh no, empress imperial concubine, please forgive me, I won't dare again, never dare again! "
"..."
"Don't kill me."
"..."
"I, Minnv know I was wrong, and Minnv will never dare again!"
As she spoke, she kowtowed repeatedly, and the sound of bang bang made the whole room tremble. After a while, the skin on her forehead was broken, and blood flowed down.
Nan Yan looked at her indifferently as she burst into tears.
She is actually very soft-hearted.
When you see someone suffering, you feel distressed, and when you see someone suffering, you feel compassion.
But, not someone like Simu Lan.
Since she was a child, she has not been bullied by her once or twice. She still remembers that once when she was a child, it was freezing cold, she pushed herself into the pool, stepped on her back, and laughed.
At that time, she didn't have any compassion for herself.
So, looking at her like this now, she doesn't feel pitiful at all.
If yesterday, their plot in Fengtian Temple succeeded, but now the poor one is himself.
I am the one who will be crushed.
Not necessarily.
Zhu Feng, he will protect himself.
Thinking of this, a warm current flowed through her heart again, and when she looked down at Simulan again, she calmly said, "Empress, the cruel torture of peeling the skin and pulling the grass, grinding the bones and dusting the ashes, my concubine sees it. J."
"..."
"The emperor ruled the world with benevolence and virtue, and now he wants to implement a new policy. Naturally, he must appease the people. Severe punishment and strict laws are not conducive to the emperor's governance of the country."
Xu Miaoyin looked at her and nodded slightly.
"However," Nan Yan changed the subject, "We have to be punished with minor punishments, so that some people don't care about life and death, and don't respect their superiors."
Simu Lan stared at her with wide eyes in horror.
Nan Yan turned her head to look at Xu Miaoyin, and said: "In my concubine's opinion, it's better to change the whipping into a cane punishment, so that she can be exempted from parading in the street, and let her do hard work for half a year to cultivate her self-cultivation, so as not to make mistakes in the future."
Xu Miaoyin nodded: "That makes sense."
After finishing speaking, he raised his head and ordered: "Come here, pull Simulan down, give him forty sticks, then take him to the Clothes Washing Bureau, and hand it over to the manager."
"yes."
A few young eunuchs immediately walked in and dragged Simu Lan out who was already limp on the ground.
After a while, there seemed to be a shrill scream from far away.
Nan Yan listened without blinking her eyes.
A staff of forty is not considered light, and after this blow, I am afraid that Simulan will die half of his life.
However, being able to survive can be regarded as giving the Si family a little face.
It doesn't matter where she was adopted from, whether she is from the Si family or not, or even how they treated her back then.
After all, they raised themselves.
Just as he was thinking, the eunuch Xiao Shunzi ran in.
"The servants pay homage to the empress, and the noble concubine."
Xu Miaoyin said: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi said: "People from the Si family are outside the palace gate and want to ask to see the imperial concubine."
"..."
"The emperor's side has already approved, just wait for the imperial concubine—"
Nan Yan thought for a while, then got up, and said calmly: "Empress Empress, since the matter has been dealt with, I will not disturb Empress Empress's quietness. I also want to see my family."
Xu Miaoyin smiled and said, "It's good to go and meet."
After speaking, he waved his hand, Nan Yan kowtowed, then turned and left Yonghe Palace.
After a while, Wu Wan also came out of the Yonghe Palace, looking at Si Nanyan who disappeared under the red wall in front of her, her teeth were gnashing.
Gao Yurong walked to her side and said softly: "Your Majesty..."
"I won't make it easy for her."
"..."
"Does she think that if she becomes a noble concubine, she will definitely be favored by the emperor? Hmph!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Gao Yurong looked at Wu Wan in surprise, looked at her gloomy eyes, and said softly: "Mother, did you prepare for it?"
Wu Wan smiled coldly.

Nanyan returned to Yikun Palace.
As soon as she walked in and sat down, Xiao Shunzi brought Gu Tingchun and the others in, and the three hurriedly knelt down at her feet.
"Caomin pays homage to the imperial concubine and empress."
"Stay flat."
"Thank you ma'am."
"A seat."
The three sat down carefully.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Mother."
Gu Tingchun suddenly stood up from the chair.
Nan Yan smiled: "Mother, don't need to panic."
"..."
"The daughter just wanted to tell her mother that her elder sister was punished by the empress for forty years for her crime of unfilial piety, and she was sent to work in the clothes washing bureau, so that she could seriously think about her past."
"..."
"Mother, don't you blame me?"
When Gu Tingchun heard the news, he really couldn't bear it, but he didn't dare to say anything.
It was Gu Tingqiu who sat on the side, and said softly: "This girl has no respect for her elders, and she broke the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine empress. It is already empress kindness for her to spare her life."
Nan Yan turned to look at him.
Gu Tingqiu is considered the most calm and steady among the three.
Nanyan could also see some rare clarity and wisdom in those eyes.
If I remember correctly, he was the first person to bow down to the noble concubine in front of the Fengtian Hall just now. Because he took the lead, all the ministers, together with those wives at home and abroad who watched the ceremony, as well as envoys from various countries, all began to bow down to the noble concubine.
He is on his side.
Nan Yan smiled and said, "Uncle must have had a hard time rushing back to Jinling this time?"
Gu Tingqiu said: "Your Majesty canonization is a major event, I dare not speak bitterly."
Nan Yan nodded.
Then he said: "Now I want to know, what else do you know about that letter?"
