The room in the imperial study instantly became quiet.
The meaning of Dean Mo Xiu's words could not be clearer.
——It doesn’t matter if the person behind the scenes can’t be found out now. Countless people have clearly seen what Xiao Yushan did, so she can’t escape punishment!
Xiao Ze put one hand behind his back and clenched it into a fist, as if he was deep in thought.
Seeing his serious and cold look, Shen Yurong couldn't help but beg:
"Your Majesty! Even though Shan'er made a mistake, look at what she looks like now. She has already received the most severe punishment, hasn't she? Isn't this enough!?"
Xiao Yushan had injuries on her face and body, and they were all very serious.
Judging from the current situation, she may not even be able to live a normal life in the future.
Dean Mo Xiu, what else do they want to do?!
Do you have to force Shan'er to death before you are willing to do it!?
Xiao Ze's lips moved but he said nothing.
On the one hand, he felt sorry for Xiao Yushan. After all, he was the daughter he had loved for so many years. Seeing her like this, how could he really be indifferent?
But on the other hand, he also knew that if he could not give Nanshan College a satisfactory answer to this matter, there would be endless troubles in the future.
After thinking for a long time, he finally looked at Dean Mo Xiu and said:
"I wonder what Dean Mo Xiu thinks?"
Dean Mo Xiu looked at Xiao Yushan, his expression indifferent and calm.
"According to Nanshan College's practice, the college has the right to kill anyone who breaks into the college without permission. What's more, this time, the fourth princess tried to snatch Fengli Zhong, which is a great humiliation to our Nanshan College. So in this matter, we
We will definitely pursue it to the end.”
Shen Yurong was so anxious after hearing this that she couldn't help but cry:
"Dean Mo Xiu! I can understand your feelings, but Shan'er has paid such a heavy price now, can't you—"
"The Queen."
Dean Mo Xiu interrupted her and shook his head,
"You seem to have forgotten one thing: these injuries on the Fourth Princess were all caused when she tried to attack my Nanshan College master and apprentice and steal the Fengli Bell. If she had not insisted on doing this, she would not have suffered so seriously.
It’s hurt, isn’t it?”
He said this euphemistically, or in a more straightforward way: Xiao Yushan did this purely on her own doing! No one can blame her!
Shen Yurong was so shocked that her chest felt tight.
"But, but...do you really have to take her life to stop?"
Dean Mo Xiu shook his head and said calmly:
"Queen, you are worrying too much. Now the fourth princess is still unwilling to tell the truth. We will not kill her until we find out a clear enough answer."
These words did not make Shen Yurong feel any better.
Her face was extremely pale and her lips were trembling slightly. She wanted to defend Xiao Yushan a few more words, but she didn't know where to start.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
What's more, she herself had a guilty conscience.
Xiao Ze finally spoke:
"How about this? Let's put the Fourth Princess under house arrest in her palace during this period, and wait until the results of this matter are found out——"
Dean Mo Xiu said nothing and looked extremely calm.
Xiao Ze paused.
"Of course, she did such a wrong thing and brought shame to the Tianlan royal family. From today on, her title of princess will be taken away and she will be demoted to a commoner. We will wait until we find out the ins and outs of the whole thing before we can make any other comment.
how?"
Dean Mo Xiu nodded:
"Everything depends on what Your Majesty says."
Xiao Yushan's energy and blood surged, and she fainted.
