After Xiaoxiu said this, she didn't dare to cry anymore. She knelt on the ground without daring to breathe.
It's over, it's over, she actually let it slip! Now, she may also be punished!
"Bold little show, you have indeed wronged Lieutenant Lan! What exactly happened at that time? If you tell the truth, I can spare your life! If you tell another lie, I will definitely take military action against you.
!" Princess Yuzhu's face became solemn, and the power of the superior suddenly emerged.
Xiaoxiu felt guilty and timid, and felt a loud bang in her head. "Young girl, I will confess now, I will confess now. I will never tell another lie! Please spare my life, Princess!"
Under the pressure of Princess Yuzhu, Xiaoxiu finally tremblingly told the story of Wang Rong's relationship with her.
Hearing that Xiaoxiu actually told Wang Rong's threats and inducements, he easily told all about his various business operations in Cuizhu Village, including the production of peppermint oil, chilblain ointment, alcohol production, and his work in Cuizhu Village.
Zhucun taught them various first aid methods. Zhuqing was really furious.
"How much have you told him about the production of alcohol?" The shortage of alcohol is an urgent problem in the Northwest Army. If Xiao Xiu told Wang Rong everything about it, there is no guarantee that after Wang Rong knew about it, he would
I will not report it to King Runan.
"I, I just said that when we sew people up, we must disinfect them with alcohol..." Xiao Xiu couldn't help but shrink back and feel guilty when she saw Zhu Qing's serious expression.
"You, you are so refreshing!" Zhu Qing no longer knew what to say to her.
"Your Highness Princess, now that Xiaoxiu has explained the situation, can you spare Lieutenant Lan and let her go into battle to kill the enemy and atone for her sins?" Zhu Qing asked.
Princess Yuzhu frowned when she heard this, pondered for a moment, and said: "The military situation is urgent now. Although Lan Xi is guilty, she should not be punished for her crime. It is not impossible to let her go to the battle to kill the enemy and atone for her sins. However, she can be exempted from the death penalty, but she will not be punished alive.
There is no way to escape. Necessary punishment must be meted out. She will be removed from the post of captain and demoted to school captain. She will also be punished with thirty lashes to serve as a warning to others."
Hearing that Princess Yuzhu finally relented, Kang Yizhi and Yu Rong were all happy. They looked at Zhuqing with admiration.
"Thank you, Princess!" Zhu Qing was overjoyed. Finally, she could let Lan Xi out of her predicament. In this way, she wouldn't have to feel so guilty.
"However, Xiao Xiu, as a military doctor, you lied and falsely accused Lan Xi. It is really an unforgivable crime. I think you have made meritorious service in treating the wounded in the army, and this is your first offense. You will be sent back to your hometown and will never be hired." Princess Yuzhu
Then he said.
Xiaoxiu's face suddenly turned pale. There were so many people out of them, but she was the only one who was sent back to her hometown. She must have no face to see anyone in the countryside from now on.
"Your Highness Princess..." She muttered, wanting to beg for mercy.
But he heard Zhu Qing say from the side: "Xiao Xiu, you slandered the general of the army. If you follow the military regulations, it is not an exaggeration to kill you. Now that you can save your life, you are the princess's mercy. Now that you plead guilty, I will return the favor."
I will say hello to Grandpa Li Zheng so that you can gain a foothold in the village. Otherwise, if your matter is made known to the public, I am afraid that even if Grandpa Li Zheng is willing, no one in the village will be able to tolerate you."
Zhuqing's words suddenly awakened Xiaoxiu. Indeed, if word of her behavior in the army spread to Cuizhu Village, she would be drowned by everyone in the village with just a spit of saliva.
So she lowered her head, with a white face, and whispered to Zhuqing: "Qingya, I, I have no shame in going back. If I can escape death this time, I, I am willing to live here in Pingxicheng. I, I promise never to do it again.
It’s over. Can you please, Your Highness the Princess, let me not go back?”
Zhuqing looked at her and was speechless. Since he knew he had no face to see anyone, why did he go there so early?
"How are you, a little girl, living alone in Pingxicheng? Besides, the war is going on here, and something unexpected might happen. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your parents? At any rate, you have returned to your hometown, and with your parents
I also want to give them an explanation." Princess Yuzhu said in a deep voice.
According to her military management methods, it is absolutely impossible to tolerate behavior like Xiao Xiu's. If a sergeant had made the same mistake as Xiao Xiu, she would have been dragged out and executed by her. Now she was left with a
Just sending her back to her hometown is already an act of mercy outside the law.
Of course, the biggest reason why Princess Yuzhu did this was to take Zhu Qing's mood into consideration.
After all, Xiaoxiu was a companion she brought from the village, and he could be considered young and ignorant. So she left a chance for her so that Zhuqing could explain to her parents when she returned. In addition, she also asked Zhuqing to take over her
If you have more love, you can work more attentively for her.
Princess Yuzhu spoke, and the matter was settled.
Xiaoxiu looked frustrated after hearing this, but she didn't dare to speak anymore.
After listening to Princess Yuzhu's words, Zhuqing understood what she was thinking. At that moment, he was very grateful to Princess Yuzhu.
What Xiao Xiu did before was indeed very bad, and she also felt that she should be punished. But for a while, she definitely couldn't accept Xiao Xiu being executed or engaging in military law. For her, Princess Yu Zhu's punishment
, is just right.
Sending Xiaoxiu back to Cuizhu Village so that her life is not in danger but she is punished is currently the most appropriate thing for Zhuqing.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for sparing Xiao Xiu's life!" Zhu Qing figured this out and immediately bowed to Princess Yu Zhu to express her gratitude.
Xiaoxiu had a pale face and was pulled down by several women's soldiers.
With Princess Yuzhu's permission, Lan Xi was quickly released from prison.
Because her incident this time was for the girl, so even though she was locked up in prison, the guards guarding the women's cell did not make things difficult for her, but instead quietly took care of her.
Therefore, when Lanxi arrived in front of Princess Yuzhu, her spirit was not weak. When she saw Princess Yuzhu, she knelt down and saluted first, thanking the princess for not killing her.
"Lan Xi would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for not killing her! She is willing to go into battle to kill the enemy and atone for her sins!"
Princess Yuzhu waved her hand and said: "Okay, since you have this intention, let's write down your thirty military sticks for the time being and see how much merit you can achieve!"
Lan Xi nodded and stood up at Princess Yuzhu's signal.
"You go back to the camp to rest for a while, and you will serve under General Kang tomorrow!" Originally, Lan Xi was already a captain, and his status in the army was equal to that of Kang Yizhi. Now he has been demoted to a school captain and will be under Kang Yi's command.
Take orders.
When Lan Xi heard this, her expression was as usual, but she didn't look aggrieved at all. "Yes, I will obey your orders!"
When she heard this, she turned around and strode out of the military camp.
