His well-jointed right hand held a white jade porcelain teacup coldly.
He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Su Ming. His face was calm and noble, as if he were a king dominating the world.
Su Ming glanced at Chu Xuanchen sullenly, his eyes full of coldness.
But at this time, he lacked confidence and could not be strong-willed, because Su Changxiao made a mistake first.
He said in a deep voice: "Although Chang Xiao made a mistake this time, fortunately it was not a big mistake. She has been punished and the young prince is safe.
Your Highness Prince Li, can you spare your daughter’s life for the sake of your previous friendship with her?”
Chu Xuanchen clenched the tea cup in his hand, "I have spared her many times and given her many opportunities.
But instead of restraining herself, she became more and more excessive.
This time she hurt the king’s heir, and hurting the emperor’s heir is an extra level of sin, and the crime is unpardonable!”
Having said this, Chu Xuanchen looked at Geng Tian, "Master Geng, how should Su Changxiao be sentenced for committing such a serious crime?"
Geng Tian glanced at Chu Xuanchen, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
He looked at Su Ming again, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said helplessly: "If you dare to murder the emperor's relatives, you will be killed according to the law... according to the law."
"Did you hear that, Master Su?
According to law, Su Changxiao should be sentenced to beheading.
Therefore, I cannot let her go, otherwise I will be despising the law and bending the law for personal gain!"
Chu Xuanchen spoke domineeringly.
When Su Ming heard this, his face turned pale!
This Chu Xuanchen didn't give him any face, his eyes were gloomy, "Prince Li just said that the little girl and the nanny of your house took away the prince.
In this way, this matter is not the fault of the little girl alone. If the wet nurse had not stolen the prince, the little girl would not have been able to succeed.
So it was Prince Li who failed to take good care of his servants and allowed a mole to appear in Prince Li's palace. Shouldn't you also reflect on yourself?
Examine yourself and see if you have misunderstood others and were deceived by others, which led to this disaster?"
Chu Xuanchen sneered, "You don't know people well and are deceived by others?
I’m afraid this matter is not that simple, maybe someone set up a trap to lure the nanny from Prince Li’s Mansion into it?”
"Set up?
What do you mean by this?"
Su Ming said coldly.
Chu Xuanchen slammed the tea cup on the table and said: "According to the confession of the wet nurse, Aunt Zhang, her son Liu Cheng committed murder, so she went around trying to save Liu Cheng.
Just when she was at a loss what to do, Su Changxiao found her and said that as long as Aunt Zhang helps her take away the king's son, Su Changxiao can ask Master Geng to let Liu Cheng go, is this happening?"
When Geng Tian heard this, his eyelids twitched suddenly, "Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter. I will never dare to listen to Miss Su and release any prisoners privately."
Chu Xuanchen said coldly, "There must be a reason for making lies, whether you dare or not, that's what Su Changxiao said.
Aunt Zhang, besides what Su Changxiao said, what else did Su Changxiao say to you?"
Aunt Zhang glanced at Su Ming timidly and said tremblingly: "Returning to the prince, Su Changxiao also said that her father, Mr. Su, was not only Lord Zhongyong, but also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six departments; she also said that all the officials in the Ministry of Punishment
They were all Mr. Su's people, so it was easy for her to let a prisoner go.
That’s why I listened to her words and took away the young prince, wanting to exchange the young prince’s life for my son’s life.”
In front of Chu Xuanchen, Aunt Zhang didn't dare to lie at all.
Hearing this, Chu Xuanchen sneered. Su Ming was not only the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but also the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the commander of the Imperial Army, and dozens of other positions.
Half of the entire punishment department was promoted by him, so it's not surprising that Su Changxiao said this.
