The majesty of the royal family is sacred and inviolable. She has been taught this since she was born. How could she forget this truth?!
Grandma Sun is not alarmist, disrespectful to the royal family, and is indeed close to rebellion. It's just that one of them does not take the royal family into consideration mentally and in words and deeds, and the other has developed into a forceful action. If left alone, this psychologically, words and deeds will

Even if it can be proven that Huo Yankun only made a mistake and did not have any evil intentions, for the sake of law and national integrity, this punishment cannot be waived.
"Okay...I know, thank you, Grandma Sun. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have done something stupid." Luo Hou said with a hint of heaviness and exhaustion.
"Your Majesty, you are just concerned and confused." Grandma Sun quickly lowered her head and said respectfully.
"Wait a minute, go out of the palace in person and tell Mrs. Wei Guo that I may not be able to fulfill her request. Let them take care of themselves." Luo Hou said in a tired tone.
At the same time, Xue Mansion.
Mrs. Xue was cursing her son's nose with the faucet in her hand and a cane: "You are such a stupid fool, you are such a stupid fool. Can you plead for mercy for that kind of thing?"
"Mother, why are you so angry? Yan Kun is my biological nephew and your biological grandson. Shouldn't we just ignore it just for fear of getting into trouble?" Xue Chengli looked at his mother with a puzzled expression.
Xue Chengli went to the Ministry of Punishment, but did not get a positive answer from Cao Yan, the Minister of Punishment. Cao Yan only promised to postpone the trial of the case to give them time to deal with it.

his own son.
"My sister-in-law has been with the emperor for many years, and the emperor will believe him." Although he argued, Xue Chengli's expression gradually became less confident.
