Chapter 060 Damn It
Li Tingting wanted to bite off her tongue. Isn't this a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
Prince Lu glared at Li Tingting fiercely, "Idiot!"
"No, I'm just guessing."
"In front of the emperor, Prince Lu also made guesses, and you also made guesses. Don't you really take the emperor's majesty seriously?" Chu Zhenxuan dug a hole.
The emperor's face turned even worse, and his thin lips were tightly pursed together.
"Chu Zhenxuan, stop slandering me!" Prince Lu was so angry that he felt ashamed.
"Stop arguing, I'm going to ask you something!" The emperor suddenly stood up, walked to Liang Ronghua, and looked down at her.
"What grievances do you have? I am listening."
The emperor turned his head away. He really didn't want to look at the face in front of him again.
"Your Majesty, please help me. The young lady just now was right. Before I entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was full of energy. After entering, I was first put under house arrest by that woman, and then slapped many times by that woman. Finally, that woman did not arrange servants for me, and caused me to fall like this while taking a bath. Please help me, Your Majesty!" Liang Ronghua kept pointing at Xia Xue.
Li Tingting: ...
Could you be any dumber?
The emperor clenched his fists, "Why did Madam Chu slap you in the face?" The emperor's voice was on the verge of being suppressed. Among all the things this woman said, only the slap in the face could be considered a "matter", and he could continue to ask, but he was too angry. He had never asked who of his concubines slapped whom in the face, but he, the king of a country, came to ask about the family affairs of the prime minister's mansion!
This is all caused by that damn Prince Lu!!!
Thinking of this, the emperor glared at Prince Lu fiercely.
Prince Lu shuddered and suddenly felt the air around him become cold.
"She is jealous that I am prettier than she is, and is afraid that the Prime Minister will love me more than her!"
Li Tingting: ...
Chu Zhenxuan:......
emperor;......
Xia Xue:......
The emperor glanced at Xia Xue. He still vaguely remembered how beautiful Madam Chu was on the day when Xia Lu was vindicated. Although she was wearing the damn veil again today, the radiance on her could not be erased. He believed that Chu Zhenxuan was also a person who knew how to appreciate her.
The woman in front of him was of too low a standard. If she became Chu Zhenxuan's concubine, it would lower the Prime Minister's taste.
The emperor wanted to kick the woman in front of him away, but he was even more angry with Prince Lu. If he just left at this time, he would not be able to swallow this humiliation.
Xia Xue sneered, "There is only one reason why I hit you, and that is because you abused Chu Yun!"
"I didn't." Liang Ronghua denied it flatly.
"Then let everyone see it." Xia Xue rolled up Chu Yun's sleeves.
Everyone gasped. The little arms were covered with scars.
What kind of mother is this, to do such a thing?
"I didn't expect that there is a mother like you in Da'an?" The emperor gritted his teeth.
"No, I am innocent. I am innocent."
"Child, tell me, who made you like this?"
Chu Yun pointed tremblingly at Liang Ronghua, then at Li Tingting, and then at Prince Lu.
The emperor's eyes suddenly became stern.
Prince Lu stepped forward and warned, "Little boy, don't talk nonsense. Talking nonsense will cause trouble for others!"
Thinking of those children who were tortured by software, Chu Yun's hands drooped down.
Chu Yunpu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, no one has abused me."
"Prince Lu is so despicable that he uses the lives of other children to threaten a child." Xia Xue said slowly.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"Whether it is nonsense or not, you know it very well, Prince Lu."
"you"
"Stop arguing, Your Majesty. I have evidence that proves that Madam Chu is willing to take human lives." Li Tingting decided to use her ultimate weapon.
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll take a look. If you and Prince Lu can't produce any evidence today, I will only question you."
Looking at the emperor's eyes, Li Tingting suddenly felt a little scared.
“Please ask the emperor to send someone to find the servant who delivered the meal to Liang Ronghua, and the truth will be revealed.”
"Find it."
After a while, the two maids that Li Tingting had given silver also came up.
There was finally a hint of joy on Li Tingting's gloomy face.
"The emperor is here. Tell him the truth you told me today."
The two maids looked embarrassed.
"What? Are you scared? The Emperor is here, don't worry, the Emperor will make the decision for you."
The two maids knelt down at once and each took out a bag of silver from her arms.
"Your Majesty, please forgive us. Today, Miss Li came and gave each of us a bag of silver, asking us to accuse Madam of poisoning Miss Liang. We had originally agreed, but after thinking it over, we realized that Madam is very kind to every servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion. We really shouldn't have framed Madam for this little bit of silver, so we plead guilty and are willing to accept any punishment!"
"You guys clearly didn't say that this afternoon!" Li Tingting's eyes turned red with anxiety.
Prince Lu cursed the idiot hundreds of times in his heart, but this idiot jumped into the trap again and this time buried himself.
"Prince Lu, do you have anything else to say?" the emperor asked.
Prince Lu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It was my negligence this time that caused such a big mistake. But when I saw Chu Yun, I really thought he was the emperor's child."
Prince Lu would never admit to deceiving the emperor even if he was beaten to death.
"You want to cover up your crime of trying to frame Prime Minister Chu with just one oversight? You want to cover up the fact that you made fun of me with just one oversight?"
Prince Lu knelt down hurriedly, "I really didn't."
Hong Liangdi grabbed the emperor's sleeve and said in a coquettish voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. When I was learning etiquette in Prince Lu's mansion, Prince Lu always reminded me that everything should be based on your Majesty. The emperor is the heaven. I'm sure Prince Lu would not dare to tease the emperor. It's all a misunderstanding."
The emperor shook her hand away.
"The third daughter of the Li family, Li Tingting, has repeatedly spread rumors and framed others, and has refused to repent. She shall be punished with thirty strokes of the cane, confined to her home for six months, and her marriage rank shall not be higher than the fifth rank."
Li Tingting was horrified, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty is innocent."
Xia Xue was stunned for a moment. If Li Tingting married Prince Lu as a concubine, she would at least be a second-rank lady. However, the emperor limited the rank to no higher than the fifth rank, so Li Tingting could only be a concubine for the rest of her life.
"Prince Lu, you have a poor sense of judgment and are not good at judging people. You are punished by being confined for three months, not attending the morning court, and being fined half a year's salary."
"As for this woman," the emperor pointed at Liang Ronghua, "just drag her out and beat her to death."
He saw Chu Zhenxuan's disgust towards this woman, and also saw Chu Yun's fear of this woman. He even went to the Prime Minister's Mansion specifically because of this woman. It was really not enough even if he was beaten to death!!!
As soon as Mrs. Chu came in, she heard the emperor pointing at Liang Ronghua and saying that he would be beaten to death. Before she could even greet him, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
