Along the way, Lin Nan was thinking about everything, but seemed to have nothing to think about. With the two eunuchs beside the empress dowager, even if Liu Chong was interested, he couldn't speak anything at this moment. Time was not long, so the car entered the palace gate, turned left and right, and then came outside the courtyard wall of Shoukang Palace.

One of the eunuchs raised his legs and got out of the carriage and went in to report. It was not long since time was too late, and an old eunuch came out. Lin Nan saw that he recognized him. It was Eunuch Zhang who had always been serving the empress dowager like a shadow. Although Eunuch Zhang had a good status in the palace, he always smiled at Lin Nan. But at this time, Eunuch Zhang nodded slightly and didn't say anything. He turned around to lead the way. Lin Nan's heart sank, and he had to bite the bullet and follow him.

After passing the door, he passed through two thick and thick tent curtains and looked at them, Lin Nan couldn't help but be surprised. This shock was both expected and unexpected. After turning the curtains, Lin Nan saw several people kneeling in front of him. The leader was the Sixteenth Prince Mingde, and the princess Ning He and Ning Xin were kneeling behind him. One was kneeling behind him. Liu Chong consciously slapped his knees, and Li Feng's butt was full of blood. I'm afraid he couldn't even kneel...

Lin Nan unconsciously looked at Mingde. When he heard the footsteps behind him, Mingde sternly and looked back. Seeing Lin Nan looking at him, a bitter smile appeared on his face. Lin Nan didn't say anything, and quickly lowered his head. He was worried all the way before, but after just this glance, Lin Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mingde can still smile at himself, which means that the matter is not as serious as he imagined. At least he should have a life without worries, at most he should be hit by a few strokes. Although he was determined, Lin Nan still looked in fear and fear.

"cough!"

Lin Nan was thinking about it, but Eunuch Zhang coughed from behind. Lin Nan immediately came to his senses and looked at the soft chair in Furong in front of him for a moment before kneeling down and shouting: "Ignorance minister meets the Queen Mother!"

"Hmm?" The empress dowager, who had been cold-faced, suddenly relaxed when she heard Lin Nan's name. Then she noticed it and snorted coldly and said, "Xiao minister? Who are you?"

"When I returned to the Empress Dowager, the little minister was ordered to enter the palace to be the companion of the Sixteenth Prince. Although I was a companion to read a position of 16, it was considered loyalty to the country and to serve the country. In this way, it was also considered a minister of the court." Lin Nan replied respectfully. "If the title of the little minister is wrong, I hope the empress dowager will teach you, and the little minister will correct it immediately."

"Hmph! All the world is the king's land; the shores of the earth are the king's ministers. You are good at being a juren, and you are good at writing and speaking in a clever way." The empress dowager seemed to be praising words, but Lin Nan dared not breathe a sigh of relief. If the empress dowager had just taken the matter of yesterday, the rules would not be the rule. Sure enough, the empress dowager continued: "It's just that sometimes people are too smart, which is not necessarily a good thing. People who are not smart often have many benefits. Throughout history, people with ugly appearances are mostly simple, while people with stupid minds are often loyal... Lin Xiaochen, do you think this is the reason?"

When Lin Nan heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head: "The Empress Dowager is wise, and most of what he says is the most profound truth, but... the little minister is dull and dare not speak nonsense."

Bang!

A loud noise suddenly came from Lin Nan’s ear!

The Empress Dowager stood up from the soft chair and slapped it on the short table in front of her: "Lin Nan, you are so brave!"

Lin Nan's body softened and almost fell to the ground. He kept shouting loudly: "The Empress Dowager's clarification! The little minister is loyal to the emperor, the Empress Dowager, the Princess, and the Heavenly Man can learn from, the Sun and the Moon can prove it, and there is no falsehood!"

"Ah?" The Empress Dowager was stunned. This brat, he just made a move, and he couldn't hold on. He originally thought that this little guy was not easy to deal with, so he prepared a trick and a lot of remarks. Why... I can't use it now? Unconsciously, the Empress Dowager's heart fell into nothing...

Looking at Lin Nan's appearance of swearing, the Empress Dowager was both angry and funny, and said seriously: "Loyalty and unfaithful are not counted just by saying it. Some things need to be seen in the big picture, while some things need to be seen in the small picture. You said you are loyal to the Ai family, but why did you speak in the heart just now? What is the 'qualifying and rude'? You have to play this little clever in front of the Ai family, which shows how you are loyal to others! Where are you here!" The Empress Dowager greeted him, and someone immediately agreed outside the curtain. "Pull this Lin Xiaochen out and beat twenty boards first!"

Lin Nan immediately tightened his butt when he heard it, and he shouted: "The Empress Dowager is clear and clear. The little minister is very loyal and has no different hearts. He is in Cao's camp - the Empress Dowager, the little minister -"

"What did you just say?"

"No, I didn't say anything..."

The Queen Mother snorted, but did not ask someone to take him out immediately. Instead, she asked: "Then... what else do you have to say now?"

Lin Nan looked at Mingde and sighed in his heart: "Go back to the Queen Mother, I have nothing to say... The Queen Mother asked someone to beat me..." After saying this, he accepted his fate. Lin Nan and Mingde all lowered their heads, and could not see the Empress Dowager's face. Only Eunuch Zhang, who was standing next to him, kept seeing everything from beginning to end. Since he came in, Eunuch Zhang had been expressionless. It was not until Lin Nan said the last sentence that the corner of Eunuch Zhang's mouth was rarely raised slightly.

A hint of relief and admiration flashed in the empress dowager's eyes, but her mouth did not loosen. She waved her hand and ordered, "Didn't you hear it yet? This Lord Kobayashi has accepted the beating, why are you still standing there? Go out and punish me!"

Two internal magistrates waiting outside came in, and Xu held Lin Nan's shoulders and walked out. One of them was smart. Before leaving the door, he looked at the empress dowager and happened to see the empress dowager looking at him. His expression seemed to be meaningful. The internal magistrate immediately understood in his heart, and the hand holding Lin Nan's shoulders became much lighter...

Bang!

The thick and heavy water and fire stick wheel came down, and Lin Nan closed his eyes with a whisper! Although he always heard that someone was beaten and someone was punished again, he was far away from him after all. This time it was his turn, and he was really scared. As soon as the board wheel came down, Lin Nan's butt began to hurt.

puff!

"Ouch!"

Bang!

"Oh...ah...um?" After being hit twice, Lin Nan felt something was wrong. How could such a heavy board be touched on his butt different from what he imagined? Lin Nan looked up without realizing his head, but saw two eunuchs who were punished looking down at him and laughing. The board in his hand was still dancing, but when it fell on his butt, it was thunder and raining, making smoke and dust everywhere, but it didn't hurt much... Lin Nan immediately understood, I don't know if it was the empress dowager's meaning, or if these two people were not good at seeing who they were looking at. Anyway, they were talking to him! Lin Nan hurriedly lay on the ground and bowed to the two internal supervisors, making them more happy. One of them whispered: "Although this young man, although he got the order, he dare not be too careless, otherwise he would not be able to hand over the bad at that time. I can't say that, the young man has to bear it, and he must have such a meaning..."

"Hey! Hey!" Lin Nan still understood this after staying in the palace for so many years, so he stuck his butt up a little. That's what: You see which piece of meat has that meaning, just greet him!

Bang! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

"Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Oh————”

"Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Ouch!" "Oh————”

As the board fell, Lin Nan's screams also rhythmically reached the Shoukang Palace. The screams were so terrible that Mingde was sweating coldly when he heard this, the two princesses were even more scared. Only the Empress Dowager held the tea bowl leisurely and listened with a smile.

After shouting for a while, Lin Nan estimated that it was almost done, and he had the meaning to do it. If he was too pretentious, he would be afraid that it would be counterproductive. Therefore, Lin Nan slowly stopped speaking, but when the people in the Shoukang Palace heard it, they seemed to be beaten so much that they fell into a coma and were unable to shout...

After finishing the twenty boards, it was not long or short. Looking at Lin Nan again, the dusty shirt on his butt was already torn, and his face was mixed with sweat and dust, looking very miserable...

After a while, seeing Lin Nan motionless, the smart steward who had been earlier leaned down and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, is it okay?"

"Um..." Lin Nan moved his body and moaned, "This father-in-law, you're twenty! This bone is almost broken up..."

"Hehe!" Both internal supervisors were happy, thinking that they didn't know whose playboy was, and they couldn't help but beat him. Fortunately, the empress dowager was compassionate, otherwise, if she really fought, she might not be able to stand it.

Lin Nan is telling the truth. Although he has practiced martial arts, it is not good to hit such a heavy board. Although the two internal stewards kept their hands, they still had to show them a little, so it would be fake to say that it doesn't hurt. Although Lin Nan's butt is not blooming now, he is also numb and swollen. After a short rest, the two internal stewards helped Lin Nan into the hall. As soon as they arrived in the hall, the two internal stewards let go, and Lin Nan fell to the ground with a thud...

"Ah!?" Mingde and the two princesses immediately exclaimed! Even the empress dowager put a tea bowl when she saw this, and looked at the inner prison in shock and suspicion, with a hint of reproach in her eyes. She thought to herself that she had told you to be gentler? Why did she look like this? Just as she was about to ask, Lin Nan climbed up again with difficulty: "The guilty minister bowed to the empress dowager!"
