"enough!"
The emperor interrupted the eldest princess sharply.
The eldest princess refused, "Your Majesty, disaster relief is no small matter. If we don't get rid of this moth, will we let the people feel cold?"
"you……"
"Your Majesty, since the eldest princess has said so, let's have a trial in public. Mr. Xue is an upright man and he will definitely give my wife justice."
This matter cannot be settled, and Lu Hanxiao will not give up until there is a result.
The emperor looked at Si Ning on the ground, hoping that she would stand up and say a few words.
But Si Ning lowered his eyes from beginning to end, showing no intention of looking at the emperor.
The emperor had no choice but to ask someone to call Xue Fang.
While waiting, Lu Hanxiao reported to the emperor that Si Ning was injured because he was forced to kneel by the eldest princess last time, and the fetus was not stable.
The emperor was frightened when he heard this and wanted Si Ning to go to the harem to rest.
But Si Ning insisted on hearing the result, so he found a chair in the main hall and sat down to wait.
"This is against the rules!"
The eldest princess also wanted to cause trouble for Si Ning, but was stopped by the emperor's eyes.
Seeing this, Qing Ling stretched out his hand and pulled the eldest princess's sleeve.
The eldest princess was indignant, but thinking that Xue Fang would come soon, Si Ning was afraid that there would be no good results, so she endured it for the time being.
Xue Fang arrived soon, and the emperor glanced at the eldest princess before asking.
"Xue Fang, let me ask you, how is your investigation of Mrs. Lu's case going?"
Xue Fang bowed before respectfully replying, "Back to the Emperor, the evidence is conclusive. Mrs. Lu..."
Eldest Princess, "Your Majesty, you have also heard it. The evidence is conclusive. My maids and servants can prove that Si Ning embezzled money. The amount of money does not match the account book. This is sucking the blood of the people. Such people cannot help but remove!"
"Okay," the emperor signaled the eldest princess to shut up and looked at Xue Fang, "Are you sure Mrs. Lu embezzled the money? Where is the evidence?"
The eldest princess was indignant, but finally kept her mouth shut.
Anyway, Si Ning is dead, and even gods coming down to earth can't save her.
Xue Fang had a strange look on his face and said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, the conclusive evidence I mentioned is not about Mrs. Lu's corruption, but..."
He glanced in the direction of the eldest princess again. The eldest princess's heart sank and she heard Xue Fang continue.
"It's the case of the eldest princess who wrongly accused Mrs. Lu."
"You are presumptuous!"
The eldest princess attacked Xue Fang, and Xue Fang knelt on the ground and presented the evidence in his hand.
"Your Majesty, please see that the eldest princess gave me a lot of evidence that can prove Mrs. Lu's corruption. I have also checked it. It is true that the evidence points directly to Mrs. Lu, but the eldest princess does not know one thing. Because Mrs. Lu knows what she has done, She was born as a concubine and didn't know much about settling accounts, so when she went to the eldest princess's house to reconcile the accounts, she asked Mr. Jiang from the Department of Accounts. I had already verified with Mr. Jiang that it was indeed him who counted the money at that time, and he was also responsible for the accounts. After making sure it was correct, I asked Mrs. Lu to sign on the account book..."
"impossible……"
The eldest princess was in a state of panic, her face turned pale, and she looked at Xue Fang in disbelief.
Lord Jiang and the eldest princess did not recognize him, but she had heard many things about him.
He could have taken over the position of Minister of Accounts, but he refused in every possible way and only wanted to be a bookkeeper.
Qing Ling once mentioned this person to her, and she laughed at him for being pedantic and not understanding how to adapt.
She didn't take this person seriously. She didn't care about what happened in the court. She had never seen this person before, but she didn't want to be bumped into by someone because of this matter.
There is absolutely no way this person can cheat, and the princess knows this in her heart.
"Xue Fang, how dare you cover up for Si Ning? Are you also involved?"
The eldest princess's first reaction was to deny it, but was interrupted by the emperor.
"Imperial sister, I miss your friendship. I didn't care about the last time you came to the palace to ask for an order. But why did you frame Mrs. Lu again and again!"
The emperor did not doubt Xue Fang's words at all and did not ask anyone to verify them.
He would never cover up for Si Ning, even if it was his biological father, Xue Fang would not cover up, otherwise the emperor would not hand over Jingzhao Mansion to him.
"Sister Huang, don't lose your royal demeanor!"
This is a secret reminder to the eldest princess. Why can’t the eldest princess hear it?
But she never expected that Si Ning would have a backup plan.
So she was on guard against herself from the very beginning?
Surrendering is just to confuse her. It's not that she doesn't understand, it's that she already knew her plan.
After all, she grew up in the palace. The first thing the eldest princess learned since she was a child was to assess the situation and stop losses in time.
Si Ning had already taken precautions. It was not Si Ning who fell into her trap from the beginning, but she fell into Si Ning's trap.
The eldest princess has nothing to say because her skills are not as good as others.
She knelt down and said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Si Ning is unruly and has caused misunderstandings between my son and the Song family's daughter several times. I just look down on such unruly people and want to teach her a lesson."
"Princess, please don't talk nonsense. How come my wife has not behaved like a woman?" Lu Hanxiao asked coldly.
"She is obviously already a woman, but she still has secret meetings with her foreign husband. Is this the way to be a woman?"
"My grandson?" Lu Hanxiao looked closely at the eldest princess and said in a cold voice, "The grandson you are talking about is Qin Yi. He and my wife are a bit pretentious. We have met several times in private, just for private meetings. The eldest princess usually meets so many You have many foreign men, can I also say that you have secretly met countless foreign men?"
"you!"
"Princess, this world is no longer tolerant of women. If, as a woman, you still hurt yourself and belittle yourself, that would be really sad."
"As the eldest princess, you set an example for most of the women in the capital. Everyone will imitate what you did today. I'm afraid you won't see many women on the streets in the future, right?"
"Your Majesty, my wife is virtuous and virtuous. As a husband, I am reluctant to say a harsh word. However, the eldest princess has wrongfully accused my wife like this because of such an unfounded crime. Even if I give up everything today, I will give my wife Seek justice!”
Lu Hanxiao made his attitude clear, so the emperor naturally had to express his attitude.
He was a little embarrassed. After all, the eldest princess was a member of the royal family. The punishment was too light and there was no way to explain it to Lu Hanxiao. The punishment was too heavy and it would bring disgrace to the royal family.
When in a dilemma, Si Ning stood up.
"Your Majesty, Si Ning is also at fault for this matter. She should have made it clear to the eldest princess early in the morning. I do not ask the emperor to punish the eldest princess. I only hope that the eldest princess will not judge others by herself in the future, and also set a good example for the women in the capital. .”
What a great move to turn retreat into advance!
Even if the emperor wanted to be confused, he couldn't do it anymore and looked at the eldest princess with a dark face.
"Sister Huang, as a royal person, you have lost the royal demeanor. I think you should think about how you should act at home in the future."
"emperor?"
Her majestic princess was grounded, which made her feel more uncomfortable than killing her.
By grounding her for no reason, doesn't this tell everyone that she did something wrong?
The eldest princess was naturally unconvinced, "Your Majesty, I am right..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Si Ning fell down from the chair with a pale face.
Hearing the sound, Lu Hanxiao was the first to react. He rushed forward and hugged the person tightly.
"A Ning, An Ning..."
Si Ning's face turned pale, he pursed his lips tightly and groaned in pain.
"pain,……"
It’s just one word, but it’s worth a thousand dollars.
Everyone looked at Si Ning's body and their hearts sank.
The eldest princess felt her heart skip a beat and looked at the hem of Si Ning's skirt.
