Princess Consort Is No Pushover

"Ah! Please forgive me, my lord. I'm so weak, I can't help beating." Li Xiucai was so frightened that he would die if he was beaten with more than 50 boards.

Seeing this, Nangong Rou hurriedly knelt down in front of Chu Xuanchen, looked at him with tears in her eyes, "My lord, my cousin definitely didn't do it on purpose, he may have some difficulties, please spare him and save his life OK?"

Seeing Nangong Rou like this, Chu Xuanchen suddenly helped her up, and said earnestly: "Rou'er, this has nothing to do with you. They did something wrong and should be held accountable and punished. They don't deserve your sympathy. Besides , if he dares to be stubborn when he is about to die, his crime will be aggravated!"

After finishing speaking, he personally helped Nan Gongrou to stand up and asked her to stand by his side.

Hearing this, Nangong Rou felt a chill in her heart.

Chu Xuanchen was comforting her on the surface, but in fact, she was not allowed to intercede with her cousin at all.

He was preventing her from interceding. If she said more, I'm afraid it would arouse his rejection.

She couldn't bear to see her cousin being beaten to death, so she could only say, "Okay, this matter is up to the prince to decide. It's just that my cousin's family has three generations, and he is the only son in the family. His father died early, and his mother was seriously ill. It looks really pitiful."

After speaking, she wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

Yun Ruoyue looked at all this coldly, not wanting to express her opinion at all.

She wanted to see how Chu Xuanchen would deal with Nangongrou's people.

Is it blindly favoritism, or is it dealt with according to the king's law.

If it's the former, this kind of man really doesn't deserve to be her husband.

When Nangong Rou said this, she walked up suddenly, and said to Li Xiucai: "Cousin, it's useless for me to value you so much and call you to the palace to manage the accounts. I didn't expect you to embezzle the money of the palace and hurt my reputation. Now you You still refuse to admit it, you really let me down!"

After finishing speaking, she raised her fist and hit Li Xiucai hard on the head a few times, then said bitterly, "Do you still want to live? If you want to, just admit your mistake to the prince, and correct it if you know it." , So good, as long as you are willing to admit your mistake, I believe the prince will forgive you."

When Li Xiucai heard this, he didn't dare to quibble.

He wiped his face with his sleeve, and said with snot and tears: "Yes, it was made by Lian Dan'er, the little one. I beg the lord to spare the little one's life. The little one has never seen the world, and when he sees silver, his eyelids become shallow." , Seeing that Qian's eyes are wide open, and he didn't resist the temptation, he did such a wrong thing, please forgive me, my lord."

Yun Ruoyue interrupted suddenly, "Let me ask you, was it you who added to Uncle Hua's account book privately and changed the one hundred taels to one thousand one hundred taels?"

Li Xiucai was taken aback by Yun Ruoyue's eyes.

It was a look that could see through his mind.

The concubine is so powerful, he always felt that she knew everything, he was so frightened that he no longer dared to hide anything, and hurriedly cried and nodded: "It's the little one, it's the little one who did it, the little one is sorry for your empress."

"When Uncle Hua was in charge of the account book, you never came to the palace. How did you get the account book and change it?" Yun Ruoyue asked.

Li Xiucai glanced at Nangongrou subconsciously, and then quickly looked at Dan'er, "Dan'er gave it to me. She stole the account book and asked the little one to add two words on it, so as to frame Uncle Hua for corruption. Uncle Hua can be kicked out, and the little one can come to the palace as an errand."

"Who gave you the idea that you should come to the palace as an errand?" Yun Ruoyue asked again.
