Chapter 37 She thought of how to help the Song family!

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard this.

He was still very angry about Prince Rui's purchase of an official position.

But this time, Prince Rui's inspection tour of Jiangdong was indeed tiring, and he did a good job.

At this moment, Shangguan Sui started to complain in his heart again.

[Hey, you actually dare to mention this inspection of Jiangdong! ]

Shangguan Lin immediately pricked up his ears when he heard the sound.

[I don’t know whether you are going to inspect Jiangdong or to make money! ]

[You were sent by the central government to supervise and inspect, but you accepted gifts everywhere! You take whatever is given to you!]

[There are so many problems in Jiangdong, but you didn't mention them. In your report, you said that everything is fine! How can there be nothing wrong with so many unjust, false and wrong cases?! ]

Shangguan Lin suddenly felt his blood surge up.

His eyes shot towards King Rui like a knife.

He trusted King Rui, so he let King Rui go to inspect Jiangdong on his behalf.

Unexpectedly, King Rui would do such a thing!

Accepting bribes, concealing the truth and pretending that everything is fine!

Plus the previous selling of official positions and titles!

Chopping his head off a hundred times wouldn't be enough!

No wonder no matter where King Rui was sent to inspect, he always said that everything was fine and peaceful!

All the feelings are because of the money!

Shangguan Lin took a few deep breaths, his chest aching from anger.

Damn him! Damn him!

King Rui was even more confused when he saw this.

Shouldn't the Emperor, as he did before, sympathize with his hard work during inspections?

Why does it feel like the emperor is even angrier now?

Just as he was about to speak, he saw the emperor throw down the memorial he had submitted.

It hit him straight on the forehead.

His forehead immediately became red and swollen.

Prince Rui was completely panicked and kowtowed quickly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

King Rui was trembling all over and his breathing became rapid and difficult.

What on earth is going on here...

His lips trembled rapidly, but before he could say anything, a majestic voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Prince Rui is extremely disrespectful. Take him away and give him a hundred lashes. Then he will be imprisoned in the ancestral temple for three days to reflect on his actions!"

Prince Rui's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he was taken away by the guards standing in front of the palace.

"I am innocent! I am innocent!"

Soon, King Rui's screams were heard outside the palace.

Shangguan Lin listened and breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no substantial evidence yet, so we cannot really kill King Rui.

But if he doesn't beat up Prince Rui today, he just can't swallow this humiliation!

Shangguan Sui was also very happy.

[Hehe! Prince Rui deserves it! ]

[Beat him! Beat him hard! Beat him until his butt is bruised! ]

Shangguan Lin's anger subsided a lot after hearing this.

Turning his head to look at Shangguan Sui who was grinning beside him, he couldn't help but reach out and rub her little head.

It’s really a pity for Suisui that he discovered another treacherous minister!

This matter is not over yet. Wait until he has collected all the evidence of King Rui’s crimes and then he will be severely punished!

Prince Rui was beaten with a hundred sticks and was completely exhausted.

But he did not forget his business. He immediately reached out and called his closest servant and whispered a few words in his ear.

At night, Bihua Palace.

The Concubine Chen looked at the thick stack of banknotes in front of her and frowned.

"This was sent by...King Rui?"

Qingping bowed and put the banknote on the table.

"Your Majesty, it was sent by King Rui, saying he wanted to buy some small things for the princess."

Princess Chen: ...

What kind of toy could be so expensive? Is King Rui crazy?

Shangguan Sui looked at the banknotes on the table in front of him and snorted coldly.

[Tsk, this King Rui is too disgusting! ]

[Knowing that the emperor now dislikes him, he thought of spending money to bribe my mother to say a few good words for him in front of the emperor! ]

After listening to Shangguan Sui's thoughts, Concubine Chen immediately understood.

so it is……

She also heard today that Prince Rui had offended the Emperor, was punished with a hundred strokes of the cane, and was locked up in the ancestral temple for reflection.

This has never happened before.

[And this money is not Prince Rui’s money! It belongs to his wife, Song!]

[Because Song was poisoned by him and became ill and unable to take care of the household affairs, Prince Rui secretly took away half of Song's dowry and spent it! ]

[The King of Rui is very incompetent, and has not been discovered for so many years because no matter what happens, he can always use money to settle it! ]

[Whether it was Song's dowry or the money the Song family sent him every month, he spent it all like this! ]

[And the Song family still doesn’t know about this…]

After hearing this, Concubine Chen showed an expression of disgust for the first time on her dignified and beautiful face.

Such a nasty man...

He actually spent his wife's dowry...

Women could not hold official positions, join the military, and were rarely allowed to engage in business.

After getting married, it is inevitable to encounter some things.

At this time, she would spend her dowry to find a way to protect herself in the mansion.

Therefore, families who love their daughters will prepare a thick dowry for their daughters when they get married, for fear that their daughters will be wronged in their husband's family and will not know what to do when encountering problems.

And King Rui actually poisoned his wife and took the opportunity to steal her dowry!

It's really hateful and infuriating!

Shangguan Sui looked at the banknotes in front of him and became angrier and angrier.

"Mother, we can't take this money! This is Xiao Ziyuan's mother Song's money!"

"The Song family has no idea where the money went! What's the difference between what Prince Rui did and stealing?"

The Concubine Chen had just heard Shangguan Sui's thoughts, so she didn't look too surprised at this moment.

She reached out and touched Shangguan Sui's hair.

"Mother knows. Even if you don't tell me, I won't accept the money."

Shangguan Sui's cheeks were puffed up and his dark eyes rolled around.

Got it!

She thought of how to help the Song family!

Shangguan Sui leaned close to Chen Fei's ear and whispered softly.

At this time, Rui Wang Mansion.

Song and Xiao Ziyuan sat at the table together to eat dinner.

"Mother, how are you now?"

Song looked at him tenderly and reached out to serve him a bowl of soup.

"Don't worry, Mom is fine. Didn't the little doctor come this afternoon? She said Mom is fine, so don't worry."

Xiao Ziyuan nodded and reached out to take the fish soup that Song handed over.

"Thank you, mother."

Xiao Ziyuan lowered his head and drank the fish soup, his mind racing.

Mother should have known by now that Prince Rui poisoned her.

And it seems that he has come out of the grief a little.

Should he tell his mother now that Prince Rui had embezzled her dowry?

The book once said that a short pain is worse than a long one.

When the ulcers have become rotten to a certain extent, they must be removed, otherwise the disease will only get worse.

Song turned to look at Xiao Ziyuan, her brows slightly raised.

"What's wrong, Ziyuan? Do you have something to say to mother?"
