Chapter 055 Result
Feeling uneasy, the Second Prince looked towards Su Qingqing, and just in time, Su Qingqing glanced over at him.
There was a fierce look in his eyes, and he made no secret of it: I did it!
The second prince's brain suddenly buzzed.
Did you see it wrong?
He looked at Su Qingqing with wide eyes , but Su Qingqing had already turned to the emperor and said, "Father, I was frightened last night and I'm not feeling well. I want to go back to the mansion to rest."
The second prince frowned suddenly.
What does Crown Princess mean?
The Minister of Justice brought Liu Yisheng to the emperor. As long as they investigate, they will definitely find out who is trying to stop Liu Yisheng. If they find out who is the one who is trying to stop him, my father will definitely be furious...
With such a good opportunity, the Crown Princess actually said she was not feeling well and wanted to leave?
The second prince was puzzled.
The emperor looked at Su Qingqing with more surprise.
Is this kid trying to save face for him?
His eyes suddenly softened, and the emperor said to Su Qingqing, "I'm sorry for scaring you yesterday. Go back and rest. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of it for you."
Su Qingqing smiled coquettishly, "In fact, on the way to the palace, I have already made a decision for myself."
The emperor couldn't help but smile, "Oh?"
Su Qingqing said bluntly, "I went to the Su family and robbed them to vent my anger."
The emperor immediately laughed out loud.
Until Su Qingqing took her leave from the imperial study, the Second Prince and Su Yunhe were both a little dazed.
What does the emperor mean by this? Does he mean that everything that Su Qingqing stole belongs to her?
Su Qingqing didn't want to guess what the outcome would be in the imperial study, so she left the study and went straight to the prince's mansion.
When she returned, the steward Yu Liang was standing at the gate, looking anxious.
Su Qingqing got off the carriage, and Yu Liang hurriedly greeted her, "Your Majesty."
Su Qingqing waved her hand and said, "If you want to talk about the things that Jixiang took back from the Su Mansion, you don't have to. It's not your turn as a housekeeper to tell me what to do."
Yu Liang wiped the sweat off his forehead and shook his head, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. Whatever the master does is his business. How dare I interfere?"
As he spoke, Yu Liang pulled out an account book from his bosom, "This is the account book of the Crown Prince's Mansion. The one I gave to Your Majesty last time had some problems, so I supplemented it again in the past few days. This one is more comprehensive."
Su Qingqing didn't expect that Yu Liang would actually give her another account book. She paused and looked at Yu Liang suspiciously.
Yu Liang held the account book in his hands and said, "I was ignorant before and offended Your Majesty. Please forgive me."
Su Qingqing took the account book with a half-smile and flipped through it casually, "Okay, I understand. Anything else?"
Yu Liang was stunned.
He originally thought that Su Qingqing would ask him why he suddenly acted like this. He had been planning his speech for a whole day and had already drafted it seven or eight times in his mind.
He said that it was the Queen Mother who scolded him again.
But Su Qingqing didn't ask anything.
If she didn't ask, he couldn't say what he had prepared. Feeling depressed, Yu Liang could only say, "I'm fine."
Su Qingqing nodded, took the account book and walked away.
I’ll suffocate you to death!
Su Qingqing entered the main courtyard and saw Jixiang, with a smile on his face, directing the people in the courtyard to arrange the looted items one by one in the courtyard. There were all kinds of things, including vases, jewelry, inkstones, and ancient books. Jixiang really looted the entire courtyard.
Minglu leaned against the corridor with a look of despair, watching Jixiang register.
As soon as Su Qingqing came in, Minglu stood up immediately.
Jixiang rushed towards Su Qingqing and said, "My queen, we ."
Su Qingqing smiled and pinched Jixiang's face, "How much did you steal?"
Jixiang counted on his fingers, "There are about 120 cash ingots, three boxes of silver ingots, and silver notes..."
Nanny Xu beside her added, "Thirty-six thousand five hundred and eighty taels of silver."
Jixiang smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached his ears. "Yes, yes, there are also several boxes of jewelry. Although the jewelry is extremely ugly and cannot be compared with the ones your majesty has, it is still worth some money. In addition, there are these."
Jixiang raised his hand and pointed at everything in the yard as if he was pointing at the whole country.
Su Qingqing looked at Jixiang's happy expression and thought, it would be great if Jinghe could be like Jixiang.
Sighing softly in the direction of Su Jinghe's courtyard, Su Qingqing collected her thoughts and said to Aunt Xu , "Leave 20,000 taels of silver notes for backup, and sell the rest for cash and save it."
Minglu was dumbfounded.
Sold it?
After hesitating for a moment, Minglu stepped forward and said, adhering to the principle of fulfilling his duties, "Your Majesty, please don't sell your things yet. What if His Majesty..."
Su Qingqing chuckled and interrupted Ming Lu, "Are you afraid that His Majesty will ask me to return it? I don't care!"
Su Qingqing's confidence surprised Minglu. Could it be that His Majesty personally promised to approve the Crown Princess's robbery?
"Just now in the Imperial Study, I passed this thing to Minglue."
Minglu:!
Did you really acquiesce?
When did the emperor become so easy to talk to!
You know, the Crown Princess emptied out the Su Mansion!
…
When Rong Que returned to the Crown Prince's Mansion, Ming Lu raised this question to his master in great confusion, "...What does His Majesty think? Although Su Xiang did something wrong, Your Majesty actually let the Crown Princess empty out the Su Mansion like this?"
Rong Que sat behind the desk in the study in good spirits, with his index finger slightly bent, tapping lightly on the table.
"Father knows that it was the Second Prince who sent people to kill Liu Yisheng."
Minglu looked confused, so what?
Rong Que said, "Su Qingqing retreated to advance and gave up pursuing the matter further, so the emperor will naturally go along with it and be willing to do her this favor."
Minglu was shocked!
"With such a good opportunity, Her Majesty the Crown Princess, are you giving up on the pursuit?"
"What else can I do if I don't give up? If Su Qingqing insists on this matter and insists on getting an answer from my father, then my father will punish the Second Prince, but at most he will be confined to his house for a month, that's the worst that can happen!
But at the same time, my father would feel embarrassed in front of Su Qingqing, the Princess of Zhao State!
If Su Qingqing voluntarily withdraws when all the evidence is in front of the emperor, then the emperor will appreciate Su Qingqing's kindness and will not only punish the second prince, but will also give Su Qingqing enough comfort. "
Rong Que was right. That night, rewards came from the palace.
As for the punishment...
The fire in the Xishan camp was investigated by the Xing tribe and it was caused by Su Xiang bribing Liu Yisheng in order to avenge Su Yunyun.
Liu Yisheng was sentenced to death and Su Xiang was taken to prison to await his fate.
The second prince supported the Su family without asking any questions, so the emperor ordered him to be confined to his home for a month.
There was no mention of the Su family's property that was taken away by Su Qingqing.
The only person who received a reward in the entire case was Zhao Chunming.
Zhao Chunming first risked his life to rescue the Crown Princess from the fire, and then led people to desperately stop Liu Yisheng from being ambushed. The Emperor promoted him twice in rank, and he was not only in charge of all personnel and logistics of the Xishan Camp, but also in charge of the entire camp's dispatch. His position was equivalent to that of the commander-in-chief of the Xishan Camp.
