Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"My lord, Mr. Su has something to ask to see you." At this moment, Moli's voice came from outside.

"Tell him to come in." Chu Xuanchen let go of Yun Ruoyue, and helped her to sit on the chair.

As soon as Mo Li opened the door, Su Cheng led a group of servants carrying gift boxes, and walked in fearfully.

As soon as he walked in, he knelt down in front of Chu Xuanchen with a plop, and said in tears, "My lord, I really didn't know Taishan before I was ordered down. I didn't know that you were His Royal Highness Li Wang, so I accepted your gift by mistake. Your Highness Thinking of what I did before, I feel deeply regretful, and I came here to return those gifts specially."

Chu Xuanchen raised his eyebrows, and glanced at the brocade boxes containing gold ingots, "This king said to give it to you, then these things are yours, why do you need to return them?"

Su Cheng immediately shook his head in fear, "No way, how can I accept the prince's gift. I didn't know before I got off the job, so I ask the prince to forgive me."

It stands to reason that he was the one who gave Li Wang a gift and wanted to bribe Li Wang, but he did it the other way around.

Chu Xuanchen glanced at those brocade boxes, and suddenly found a few more strange blue brocade boxes inside.

He went up and opened it, and saw that there were many antique jade wares inside, all of which were rare treasures.

He immediately asked, "These treasures were not given to you by the king before, what's going on?"

Su Cheng hastily said flatteringly: "My lord, this is a gift from the lower officials. This is carefully selected and carefully prepared by the lower officials. Please accept it with a smile."

"Presumptuous! How dare you break the law knowingly and bribe me, who do you think I am? Do you think I am a corrupt official?" Chu Xuanchen waved his sleeves angrily, with murderous looks on his brows.

Su Cheng was startled, "Doesn't the lord like these gifts prepared by the officials?"

Everyone loves money, and he thought that Li Wang also loved money, so he made his own decision and gave him a gift at this time.

I didn't expect that Li Wang didn't want it!

Could it be that he is as upright and selfless as the rumors say?

Chu Xuanchen snorted coldly, "My lord never accepts bribes, Mr. Su, instead of trying your best to exploit it like this. Why don't you exchange all these treasures for food and feed them to the common people? That way, this lord still thinks you are a Good officer!"

"Yes, yes, my lord, please appease your anger. I know, I will exchange these treasures for food and give them to the people!" Su Cheng hurriedly said.

Seeing Chu Xuanchen's livid face, his face turned green with fright.

He didn't expect that he didn't cheat, but lost a granary and so many treasures.

Chu Xuanchen already had the evidence of his bribery, if Chu Xuanchen said it in front of the emperor, then he would not be an official.

"Lord Su, the time is urgent. Hurry up and gather all the officials. This king will discuss disaster relief and flood control with you this afternoon," Chu Xuanchen said.

After waiting for so long, he can finally get down to business.

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right now." After Su Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Yun Ruoyue hesitantly, "It's just my princess, didn't you say that as long as I do good deeds, my head won't hurt. The food is all gone, will this head still hurt?"

Yun Ruoyue said: "The day you had a headache, did you give the porridge?"

"No, I haven't given out porridge for the past few days. Because I have run out of food, there is no food to give." Su Cheng said.

"That's right, you haven't done good deeds, how can this head not hurt? If you want your head to not hurt, you have to do good deeds every day, every month, every year. Even if there is no food to give, don't you still have property? Can you sell your property to help the people.”
