Chapter 313: Confession one by one
  Accountant Li first admitted his mistake and said, "Your Majesty, I plead guilty. I made false accounts through the loopholes of the Prince's daily expenses and purchases, and embezzled the Prince's money. I asked the Prince to punish me. I betrayed the Prince's trust."

"You should indeed be punished, and you have indeed betrayed my king's trust. Concubine Zhao recommended you so hard, but you did such a thing of embezzling money.

It's not about the money, it's about your character. Come on, drag Accountant Li out and beat him to death with sticks. He is not allowed to bury the body and hang it in the inner courtyard of the palace for pigs and dogs to eat as a warning. "

Chu Lixuan ordered with a livid face.

When Accountant Li heard this, he was trembling with fear, and his whole body suddenly softened.

"Your Majesty, I have worked in the palace for two years, and I am the cousin of the concubine. I have done hard work for the palace even if I have no credit. Please, for the sake of the concubine, please let me live. I promise to leave in the future. The palace is far away, and I will never dare to do such a thing again."

Accountant Li quickly endured the pain and crawled to the ground. He burst into tears and begged Chu Lixuan for mercy, trying to get Chu Lixuan to let him go for Zhao Sijing's sake.

But now Chu Lixuan had just found out that these slaves were cheating, and he was in a very bad mood. What Li Accountant had done was at the forefront of the storm.

Chu Lixuan sat up straight and said coldly, "You have worked in our Prince Ning's Mansion for two years. Prince Ning's Mansion has given you a lot of glory and convenience. You can get a lot of things by using these. But while you get them, you I have long forgotten that I am a slave,

Not only that, you even think that you are a master. You don’t come even if the princess calls you several times. As the accountant of the palace, you actually collude with outside merchants and do such things.

You have been greedy for such a huge amount of the palace's money, and I have heard from other servants that you are selfish and arrogant, forming cliques in private to try to deceive the palace.

The princess is the real mistress of the palace. What you do and know are all against the king's bottom line. Our Prince Ning's Palace has never raised a unruly slave. Someone comes and drags him down. "

Chu Lixuan sat on the chair, with no trace of warmth in his eyes.

When Accountant Li heard Chu Lixuan's words, his whole face turned pale.

It turns out that the prince is so ruthless, and if something happens, he will be punished with death.

Accountant Li's eyes widened, and the fat on his body leaked out like flesh turning into water. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really know my mistake. I will never dare to do it again."

However, before Accountant Li finished speaking, the guards around Chu Lixuan had already rushed up and dragged Accountant Li outside.

They were like dragging an unwanted stray dog. After they dragged Accountant Li out of the sight of the bamboo forest courtyard, there was immediately the sound of a board and the howl of Accountant Li crying and begging for mercy. Gradually, The sound is getting weaker and weaker...

Ning Muqing watched all this with cold eyes and did not say anything to stop it.

Sometimes being kind and cruel hurts yourself.

When Zhao Sijing heard Chu Lixuan's words, 'The princess is the real mistress of the palace,' her face was full of disbelief.

In Chu Lixuan's heart, he actually liked Ning Muqing.

Zhao Sijing was very unwilling. She didn't know how she was worse than Ning Muqing. She was so considerate and followed Chu Lixuan in everything, while Ning Muqing, that bitch, would only quarrel with him every day.

Didn't he treat Ning Muqing with a cold expression yesterday?

Why are you so protective of Ning Muqing today?

Ning Muqing didn't listen to Chu Lixuan's words. When she first heard Chu Lixuan's words about Accountant Li's crimes, one of them was that he didn't take the mistress of the palace seriously and said that she was the only one in the palace. Mistress, she was a little surprised.

But soon Ning Muqing knew why Chu Lixuan said that.

They just wanted to find an excuse to scare the monkeys. They both knew in their hearts that they would divorce sooner or later. A marriage without feelings and only hatred would be a mess after all. But they knew clearly in their hearts that they must not say this out loud, otherwise they would give up. When people hear this, Chu Lixuan will always be even more embarrassed.

……

After dealing with Accountant Li, Chu Lixuan finally turned his attention to Tingqin. He said with a majestic look, "Tingqin, as the steward of the inner courtyard of the palace, you joined forces with Accountant Li to embezzle so much money from the palace. Do you know now? crime?"

From the incident to now, Tingqin has been blinded. Tingqin was murmuring in her heart when she saw that Accountant Li had died with no body intact.

She lowered her head and her voice trembled, "Your Majesty, please be careful. Ting Qin doesn't know what this is going on, and I didn't cooperate with Accountant Li to do these things. I didn't know about it. I was wronged."

"Then what happened to the money in your room? Don't tell me, this was put into your room by others to frame you on purpose!"

Chu Lixuan's tone was mixed with a blizzard.

Tingqin thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, that's right. What you said is indeed true. Someone put it in the slave's room to frame the slave."

She had lived in the palace since she was a child, and this was the first time she had experienced something like this. At this time, her soul and soul were all gone, and she didn't know what she should say to defend herself.

Tingqin felt that what Chu Lixuan said was indeed her experience, so she followed Chu Lixuan's words.

She kept talking and couldn't explain why, which would only make Chu Lixuan feel like she was quibbling.

"Now that the matter has come to an end, you are still quibbling. I really don't know how heartbroken your dead brother would be if he saw you. Someone, please bring Tingqin down to me and beat her until she is willing to tell the truth."

The look in Chu Lixuan's eyes was even colder than before.

Perhaps it was because he thought of Tingqin's deceased family members, and felt that what Tingqin was doing now disappointed him.

"Your Majesty, I...you have never treated me like this? Why has everything changed now?" Tingqin didn't care about the board game, but was surprised that Chu Lixuan didn't believe what she said. She raised her head and looked She was filled with tears and said, "Is it because the person who picked this matter with you is Ning Muqing, that's why you did this to me?"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Sijing quickly knelt down in front of Chu Lixuan, looked at Chu Lixuan with tears in her eyes, and begged for mercy, "My lord, you know who Tingqin is, and I know it too. I think Tingqin definitely didn't do this on purpose." Yes, she must have her own difficulties, please let me go to listen to Qin this time, she is a girl and I can't help but beat her."

Yue Lin, who had been following Chu Lixuan, saw this and hurriedly helped Zhao Sijing up.

"Concubine, this matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better get up first. Tingqin and Accountant Li did something wrong. They should bear the responsibility for the incident and deserve to be punished.

She doesn't deserve your sympathy for doing such things in the prince's palace, and if Ting Qin pleads guilty, the prince won't do anything to her. It's because she has always been stubborn that the prince said he would beat her. "

Chai Yan was advising from the side with "sincerity and sincerity".

After that, someone brought Zhao Sijing a short stool for Zhao Sijing to sit on.

But at this moment, Zhao Sijing was on pins and needles, and after hearing what they said, she felt even more chilled.

On the surface, these people were trying to comfort her, but in fact they didn't allow her to plead for mercy at all, and they also had to listen to Qin explain more things.

They stopped her from begging for mercy. If she really didn't beg for mercy, Tingqin would probably shake her off.

But if Zhao Sijing talks more, I am afraid that Chu Lixuan will be even more disgusted.

Zhao Sijing didn't want to just sit back and wait for death, so she had to say, "Your Majesty, this matter is up to you. The situation in Tingqin's family is really unbearable. Their whole family has sacrificed their lives for the country. Tingqin has lost his father and mother since he was a child.
  Later, her eldest and second brothers are gone. She has been alone in the palace since she was a child. She is really a pitiful person. If Tingqin disappears today, the last bit of blood in their family will be cut off..."

With that said, Zhao Sijing picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears.

Ning Muqing just watched them indifferently. She didn't want to say a word. Even though she knew that Tingqin might have been framed by Zhao Sijing, she didn't want to say anything either.

She wanted to see how Chu Lixuan would handle this matter.

Is it because of Zhao Sijing's plea that he started to be partial, or is it business affairs.

If Chu Lixuan changed his mind after just two sentences, then a man like him would still not be worthy of Ning Muqing's effort in managing the palace.
