Chapter 299 Punishment of the Great Princess

Author: Yang Azhai

Luo Chengjing nodded secretly and said, "Get up."

Huo Shen said thanks and stood up and heard Luo Chengjing ask him if he knew how the Fourth Princess fell into the water?

Huo Shen looked at the eldest princess after hearing this.

The eldest princess looked at Huo Shen intently after Huo Shen came in. At this moment, the eyes of Huo Shen were filled with warnings and nervousness.

How could Huo Shen hide his look from the empress dowager and the other three sitting in the head?

The Empress Dowager sighed in her heart, softened her tone and said to Huo Shen: "You don't have to worry, you can say whatever you see."

"Yes." Huo Shen responded, and indeed no longer cared about anything else, and said bluntly: "Caomin saw that it was the eldest princess who pushed the fourth princess into the lake."

Although Huo Shen is the only legitimate son of Guangping Bo’s Mansion, because Guangping Bo did not invite a crown prince, Huo Shen can only call himself a civilian in front of the Empress Dowager and others.

As soon as Huo Shen finished speaking, the eldest princess jumped up.

"You're talking nonsense. I saw that the Fourth Emperor Girl was about to fall and reached out to grab her, but I just didn't have time to catch her."

After saying that, the eldest princess bit her lip and looked at Luo Chengjing and the Empress Dowager, saying, "Father, Grandmother, believe me, I really didn't push the Fourth Emperor Girl."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager and the others were not talking, the eldest princess anxiously said to Luo Chengjing: "What I said is true. Father, how could I push the Four Emperors into the lake? This is all Huo Shen slander me! Father, please let someone pull down this nonsense and slander me and hit the board."

Luo Chengjing shook his head in disappointment, ignored the princess, but looked at Huo Shen and asked in a deep voice: "What you said is true? Do you have to know that lying in front of me is a crime of deceiving the monarch, and it will cause you to lose your head?"

Huo Shen nodded and said, "Caomin knows that Caomin dares not slander the eldest princess. When the eldest princess reached out to push the fourth princess, Caomin happened to go around from behind the rockery and saw clearly."

Luo Chengjing also believed that it was not Huo Shen who was lying. He nodded and asked Huo Shen to go down first, then stared at the eldest princess with a calm face and said, "Yan'er, what else do you have to say?"

"I..." The eldest princess looked at Luo Chengjing's face. I finally lowered my head for a long time and avoided Luo Chengjing's sight.

"Yan'er, why do you do this?" The Empress Dowager said, "Chun'er is so young, and she is your sister again. How could you do such a thing?"

The eldest princess wanted to say: She couldn't stand the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's eyes that only had the fourth princess, and regarded the fourth princess as a treasure. They were obviously the daughters of the father, but the father never treated her like the fourth princess.

The fourth princess is so young, so her father gave her gems and precious warm jade bracelets, but what about her? What did the father give her?

Even Huo Shen was also talking to him, and he ignored him with a stern face, but he was very happy to accompany the fourth princess to do those boring and simple things.

To put it bluntly, she is just jealous. She is jealous of the Fourth Princess being favored and more popular than her.

So, when she saw the lake in Shou'an Palace Garden, she became malicious and deliberately proposed to play hide-and-seek. Then she found an opportunity to trick the Fourth Princess to the lakeside behind the rockery and pushed the Fourth Princess down.

She had seen the ice in the lake, which was very thin. The fourth princess would definitely break if it fell into it, and the fourth princess would definitely fall into the ice hole.

When the palace people heard the sound, the fourth princess rushed over and even if she didn't die, she would lose half of her life. But who thought that Huo Shen, who should have been waiting in the distance, actually came over quietly and saved the fourth princess so quickly.

The worst thing was that he saw himself pushing the Fourth Princess into the water.

However, in the end, the eldest princess just cried and admitted her mistake: "The granddaughter was confused for a while, the emperor's granddaughter will definitely not be like this again in the future. The emperor's grandmother will spare the granddaughter this time."

The eldest princess cried pitifully, but when the queen mother thought of the fourth princess's body wet and crying heart-wrenchingly, she couldn't feel soft-hearted towards the eldest princess.

What's more, the imperial physician also said that although the Fourth Princess was rescued in time, the Fourth Princess was still young and weak after all, and the water was too cold. The Fourth Princess probably wanted to get hot when she turned around.

The Empress Dowager shook her head and said to Luo Chengjing with a tired look on her face: "Your Majesty, please deal with it."

When the eldest princess heard the Queen Mother's words, she hurriedly cried: "Father..."

Luo Chengjing looked at the eldest princess coldly and said unmoved: "You are so vicious at such a young age. If I don't teach you a lesson, I don't know how many evil things you will do in the future."

"As far as you are young, I will punish you for ten boards and be suspended for one year."

After Luo Chengjing said that, he looked at Lu Wanning and asked Lu Wanning for his opinion and said, "My beloved concubine, is it possible for me to deal with this?"

Lu Wanning is the birth mother of the Fourth Princess and his favorite concubine. Luo Chengjing's question also gives Lu Wanning face.

According to the actions of the eldest princess, Lu Wanning strangled her to death, so naturally she felt that Luo Chengjing's punishment was a little lighter.

But the eldest princess is Luo Chengjing's daughter after all, so she can't tell Luo Chengjing directly that she wants the eldest princess to die.

After thinking about it, Lu Wanning said, "The emperor's handling is very fair. I have no objection. I just think that the emperor is better for the eldest princess to copy Buddhist scriptures or something on weekdays, and can also sharpen the eldest princess's character."

Lu Wanning's proposal was not too much. Luo Chengjing agreed after hearing this, and then added the punishment mentioned earlier to copy Buddhist scriptures.

The eldest princess was shocked when she heard that she was going to be beaten. She was a princess. Since she was born, no one had touched her even a finger.

Thinking of the little palace maid who was accidentally seen by her mother's mother ordering her to be beaten and lost her life, the eldest princess cried even harder.

She cried and begged for mercy: "Father, please don't hit me. I will never be jealous of the Fourth Emperor Girl again. Woo... I really don't dare, Father..."

Luo Chengjing turned a deaf ear and waved his hand, saying, "Didn't you hear me? Take the eldest princess down and beat me hard!"

The little eunuch beside him was about to get started and pull the eldest princess when Princess Jing rushed in outside the door, hugged the eldest princess, knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is still young. Even if she did something wrong, just let it go, how can someone hit her? She is still so young, how can she stand it? Are you killing her? "

When Concubine Jing first heard that the fourth princess fell into the water in Qingren Palace, she gloated and thought that it would be better if she drowned. But later she heard that this was related to the eldest princess and Concubine Jing rushed over.

But she received the news a little later than Lu Wanning and Luo Chengjing.

She rushed to Shou'an Palace, but as soon as she came in, she heard Luo Chengjing ask someone to pull the fourth princess down and beat the board.
