Chapter 330
Should I be punished?
The emperor's thoughts were also strange, but he suddenly looked at the ministers and said: "My dear friends, please tell me how to deal with this matter?"
The people below seemed to be mute, and no one spoke.
"Xia Ren!" cried the emperor.
Xia Ren hurriedly came out of the queue and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
"Xia An'an is your daughter, do you think she should be punished?"
Xia Ren: "Deserves punishment!"
"How should I be punished?"
Xia Ren: "I will punish you as the emperor says! I have no objection at all!"
The emperor seemed to roll his eyes at him, and then asked: "Zhao Zheng, you can be considered Xia An'an's father, what do you think?"
Xia Nanqiao was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, if the son does not teach, it is the father's fault, and I am willing to take the punishment for An'an!"
The emperor asked Lu Yan again: "Lu Yan, what do you think?"
Lu Yan came out and answered impartially: "Your Majesty, I think that both of them are at fault in this matter! Princess Baoqing should not be provocative and aggressive, and Xia An'an should not act impulsively! However, Princess Baoqing's
The mistake is obviously bigger!"
Princess Baoqing shouted: "First Assistant Lu! Xia Anan is lying! You are the First Assistant, you can't listen to one side or the other!"
Lu Yan didn't look at her seriously: "Your Highness, there were many people present at that time. Whether Xia An'an was lying or not can be understood by just taking a few people to interrogate him alone! The princess felt that they would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor in order to protect the princess.
Really? That’s a serious crime that could result in the whole family being executed! Will the princess and the ministers give it a try?"
Princess Baoqing's face changed and she was speechless.
Lu Yan didn't say anything more and waited for the emperor to make a decision.
A smile appeared on the emperor's face and he said: "For all these years, Lu Aiqing has always been the one who suits me best!"
Lu Yan saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for showing me your love! I am ashamed that I cannot bear it."
The emperor looked at Princess Baoqing and said, "Baoqing, you are getting married soon. If I don't discipline you well, I'm afraid something will happen to you!"
Baoqing acted coquettishly: "Father~"
Emperor: "Here comes! Send the princess back to the palace immediately! Starting today, copy the "Four Books of Women" five times! You are not allowed to leave her palace until you finish copying!"
"Yes!" Wang He, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, responded and led his men to personally escort the princess back to the palace.
"Fang Jinjiao, Guo Wenji!" The emperor's tone became more severe, "You instigated the princess to provoke Xia An'an. Do you know your crime?"
The two of them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to argue, and their voices trembled: "I acknowledge my guilt!"
"You are girls. You cannot be beaten or scolded! Let your family deal with it! I will not be lenient next time!" The emperor looked at the Guo family and the Guo family who were sitting together with bright eyes.
People from the Duke of Guizhou.
They hurriedly came forward to apologize and took their daughter back, saying that they would discipline her well.
Xia Anan secretly raised her head and glanced above.
Not to look at the emperor, but to look at the queen.
Her face looked even more ugly and gloomy.
The emperor said again: "Xia An'an!"
Xia Anan: "My daughter is here!"
"Since Lu Zhuo is willing to be punished for you, then I will punish him twenty times! What do you think?"
"Ah? Twenty punishments?!" Xia Anan glanced at Lu Zhuo, "Your Majesty, he just found a reason to be punished for me. In fact, it has nothing to do with him at all! You... hit me!"
"Hit you? With your small body, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death!" the emperor said.
Xia Anan trembled: "Then...can you ask the emperor to show mercy and give me a gentle beating?"
The emperor smiled and said: "I'm joking with you! Xiaojixing. You have been wronged today. I will apologize to you on behalf of my daughter!"
Apologize? Is the emperor so enlightened?
Xia Anan stared at him blankly, somewhat in disbelief.
Her ass is ready.
