"Ah! My lord, please spare my life. I'm a young boy with a weak body, so I can't help but beat him." Li Xiucai was so frightened that he peed his pants. If he was hit with fifty boards, he would definitely die.
Seeing this, Nangong Rou quickly knelt down in front of Chu Xuanchen and looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, my cousin definitely didn't mean it. He may have hard reasons. I beg you to spare him and keep him alive."
OK?"
When Chu Xuanchen saw Nangong Rou like this, he suddenly helped her up and said seriously: "Rourer, this matter has nothing to do with you. They have done something wrong and should take responsibility and be punished. They do not deserve your sympathy.
Besides, if he dares to speak harshly even when he is about to die, he will be punished even more!"
After saying that, he personally helped Nangong Rou stand up and asked her to stand beside him.
After hearing this, Nangong Rou was frightened and felt cold.
Chu Xuanchen was comforting her on the surface, but in fact, he didn't allow her to plead for her cousin at all.
He was preventing her from asking for mercy. If she said more, she might be disgusted by him.
She couldn't bear to see her cousin being beaten to death, so she had to say, "Okay, this matter is up to the prince's decision. It's just that my cousin's family is the only son of three generations. He is the only son in the family. His father died young and his mother is 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 position at all.
She wanted to see how Chu Xuanchen would deal with Nangong Rou's people.
Is it just partiality, or is it handled according to the king's law?
mark("zhong");
If it's the former, this kind of man is really not worthy of being her husband.
When Nangong Rou said this, she suddenly walked up and said to Li Xiucai: "Cousin, it's unreasonable for me to value you so much and call you to the palace to manage the accounts. I didn't expect that you would embezzle the palace's money and damage my reputation. You now
If you still refuse to admit it, you really disappoint me!"
After saying that, she raised her fist and hit Li Xiucai several times on the head. She said, "Do you still want to live? If you do, admit your mistake to the prince quickly and correct it if you know it."
, there is no such thing as kindness, 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, the little one was made by Lian Dan'er. I beg the prince to spare my life. I have never seen the world, and my eyesight is short-sighted when I see money."
, seeing money, he couldn’t bear the temptation, so he did such a wrong thing, please forgive me, Your Majesty.”
Yun Ruoyue suddenly interrupted, "Let me ask you, are you the one who secretly added words to Uncle Hua's account book and changed the one hundred taels to one thousand one hundred taels?"
Li Xiucai was startled by Yun Ruoyue's eyes.
It was a look that could see through his thoughts.
The princess was so powerful, he always felt like she knew everything. He was so frightened that he no longer dared to hide it, and nodded while crying: "It's the little one who did it. I'm sorry for the empress."
"When Uncle Hua was in charge of the accounting room, you didn't come to the palace at all. How did you get this account book and then change it?" Yun Ruoyue asked.
Li Xiucai glanced at Nangong Rou subconsciously, and then quickly looked at Dan'er, "Dan'er gave it to me. She stole the account book and asked the younger one to add two words on it to frame Uncle Hua for corruption. This way
We can drive Uncle Hua out, and the younger one can come to the palace as an errand."
"Who gave you the idea to come to the palace as an errand?" Yun Ruoyue asked again.
