Bai Qingyan got up, went inside to see Mrs. Wang, who was still sound asleep, and sat by the bed to tuck in the quilt for her.
Doctor Hong had seen her, and fortunately, Mrs. Fang had only given her a bit of sleeping potion, nothing else; after a sleep, she would be fine.
Bai Qingyan accompanied Mrs. Wang for a while, and then Wei Zhong came in with small steps. He spoke softly to Bai Qingyan through the screen: "Your Majesty... Mrs. Fang couldn't withstand ten strokes before she fainted. Her brother has stated that he is willing to take the remaining strokes for her. The executioner did not know what to do, so this old servant has come to ask your Majesty's opinion."
"Each needs to receive their own punishment; life and death are in the hands of God," Bai Qingyan said lightly.
"Yes!" Wei Zhong responded.
