Princess Consort Is No Pushover

Aunt Zhou raised her eyelids guiltily, "Mrs. Liu, it is wrong to harm others. The prince already knew about the things you forced us to do. Fortunately, we repented in time and did not hurt the princess. Everything we did was wrong. I was forced by you."

"So what you two came in just now and said was all lies, and you were trying to lure us into a trap?" Liu Shi gritted her teeth viciously, with raging anger burning in her eyes, wishing to burn the two of them to death!

Chu Xuanchen's falcon-like eyes glanced coldly at the room, and commanded in a deep voice, "How dare Mr. Liu drug the concubine, there must be poison hidden in this room, come and search for me!"

As soon as he gave an order, Mo Li and the others rushed to find Liu's baggage.

He casually rummaged through Liu's baggage, and found several bottles of poison, one of which had the words "A sprig of wormwood on the snow" written on it.

He hurriedly brought the medicine over and handed it to Yun Ruoyue, "Your Majesty, I found a sprig of Artemisia officinalis from Liu's bundle, please see if this poison is the same as the one in the fish soup."

Yun Ruoyue opened the medicine bottle, smelled the powder inside, and smelled the half bottle of powder that Aunt Zhou gave her, and said coldly: "It smells exactly the same, it's a sprig of wormwood on top of the snow!"

"Liu Shi and Nangong Rou dared to poison the princess, and let the king get the stolen goods. Come, take the two of them to Nangong Mansion. This king wants Nangong Wen to give an explanation to Prince Li's mansion!"

Nangongwen is Nangongrou's father, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor's man.

"No, my lord, please spare my mother." As soon as Nangong Rou heard that she was going to be escorted to Nangong Mansion, she immediately knew that it was over for them, so she rushed to Chu Xuanchen's feet to beg him.

Chu Xuanchen's face was as cold as ice, and his face was as heavy as water. He pushed her away, "You have committed a capital crime. If I spare you lightly, I will be sorry for my concubine and children."

"But lord, you still owe me a life-saving favor. Can I use this kindness in exchange for my mother's life? I beg you to spare her once, she will never dare again!" Nangong Rou cried.

Liu Shi gave Nangongrou a speechless look.

Why was she so impatient that she pleaded guilty?

She wanted to quibble, saying that Aunt Zhou and the others found the poison to frame her, but her daughter pleaded guilty, and she was angry and angry.

Chu Xuanchen cast a gloomy glance at Nangongrou, "Didn't your life-saving grace be worth your life? Nangongrou, this king has long since ceased to owe you! Someone, take them away!"

Nangongrou stared at Chu Xuanchen desolately, and let someone pull her away.

She took a deep look at him, and then at the Li Palace where she lived for more than half a year, feeling very uncomfortable.

Countless fragments of her life in Prince Li's Mansion flooded into her mind. She still remembered the first time he married her into the mansion, with the big red sedan chair and the sound of gongs and drums. Now, she has become a prisoner and is about to be kicked out by him.

He was still so dignified and aloof, cold and cold, but he looked at her with disgust.

She knew that the distance between them would become farther and farther, and he would stand higher and higher until reaching the top of the mountain, but she was a humble ant who could only look up to him, and was not worthy to stand with him.

After taking Liu's mother and daughter away, Chu Xuanchen stared at Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang coldly, and said in a deep voice: "As for these two people, the death penalty is inevitable, and the living penalty is inevitable. They will each be beaten with fifty sticks before being driven out of the imperial city , can never step into the imperial city again."

"Thank you, Lord, for your mercy..." Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Xuanchen.

They poisoned the concubine, and they committed the capital crime of beheading. Now they are only punished with fifty sticks, and they are very satisfied with saving one life.

Not only did they not get any money this time, they almost lost their lives. They no longer dared to be greedy for money and do bad things.

-

On the way to Nangong Mansion, Yun Ruoyue told Chu Xuanchen about Disfigurement San.

Back then, because she competed with Nangong Rou for the title of the most beautiful woman, she was poisoned for no reason and became an ugly girl.

She has been investigating the murderer for many years, but has not been found.
