A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min
Chapter 481 Punishing the Li Family
When Princess Yongjia heard Li Yunzhou ask this, she immediately looked at Wang Qiuhe.
She no longer cared that this was Qianyang Palace, and her eyes looking at Wang Qiuhe were clearly threatening.
She said, "If you dare to frame me, I will not forgive you."
But since Wang Qiuhe could become the head maid in the palace, she was certainly not a timid person.
She agreed to come today because, firstly, she still hated what happened that day, and secondly, Third Young Master Lin promised not only to guarantee her safety but also to give her a large sum of money.
She weighed the pros and cons again and again, thinking that since the fourth young master of the Li family was already a prince, if she helped to testify, the fourth young master of the Li family would be able to protect her no matter what.
With a huge reward, people become bolder without even realizing it.
The third young master of the Lin family gave her too much, and she couldn't say no.
Wang Qiuhe had been prepared before she came, and she said, "When His Royal Highness Prince Ning was first brought back to the palace, I was a second-class maid in the princess's courtyard. I saw with my own eyes that the princess made His Royal Highness Prince Ning, who was only five or six years old, kneel outside for a night."
"During the coldest days of winter, the princess threw two cans of beans into the snow and asked Prince Ning to pick them up. He was not allowed to wear gloves, so his hands often got frostbite afterwards."
"As for beatings and verbal abuse, that was commonplace."
From Emperor Xuande to civil and military officials, everyone was in disbelief.
Emperor Xuande thought that Yongjia might not be as good to Li Yunzhou as she said, and might even be a little mean.
But according to what Wang Qiuhuo said, this is no longer just harsh, it's vicious.
One must have a very vicious heart to do such a thing to a five or six year old child.
The court officials standing on both sides of the hall looked at Princess Yongjia in disbelief. In the past, she was a model of a legitimate mother in the capital.
When it comes to treating illegitimate sons well, everyone would praise Princess Yongjia for her kindness.
But who could have thought that behind this kindness, there were actually such things.
Princess Yongjia shook her body slightly, pointed at Wang Qiuhe and cursed: "You lowly maid, you are deliberately taking revenge on me. Because I kicked you out of the house that year, you came to frame me, right?"
Li Xingchang on the side immediately said, "I am willing to guarantee with my life that every word Qiu He said is true. Outsiders don't know these things, but those who serve the princess personally know them."
"If the emperor doesn't believe it, he can interrogate the princess's personal maid and nanny. They can all prove that what we said is the truth."
As soon as Emperor Xuande saw Princess Yongjia's expression, he knew that what the two men said was true, so there was no need to interrogate the old women in Prince Shan's mansion.
"Yongjia, are you treating him like this because you think he is Yongning's son?"
"You thought he was Yongning and Li Jingchuan's child, so you brought him back home and abused him in every way to vent your dissatisfaction with Yongning."
"He died on the battlefield, and you want to use his life experience to seek benefits for the Li family. You deserve to be killed."
Emperor Xuande narrowed his eyes at this point. Could the people behind Li Yunhuai be Yongjia and Li Jingchuan?
Emperor Xuande spoke in an extremely cold tone from the moment he opened his mouth. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the emperor was extremely angry.
After he finished speaking, he slapped the armrest of the dragon chair again, "When Yongning was alive, he always treated you, his sister, well. How could you... do such a thing?"
Princess Yongjia fell to her knees and said, "Brother, you have to believe me. I would never do such a thing. These people are deliberately framing me. None of this is true."
Emperor Xuande looked at her coldly, "Not true? Are the injuries on Yunzhou's body not true? I noticed before that every time you approached him, he was terrified. He has a lot of old injuries on his body. When I asked him, he was still hesitant."
"He is kind and has never said these things. If you hadn't gone to the palace to sue him today, he would not have planned to say these things."
"He always remembers your kindness in raising him, but what about you? You are so vicious and you are not worthy of being a human being."
Princess Yongjia and Li Jingchuan knelt side by side, both of them were in a state of utter disgrace. But both of them knew that their crimes did not deserve death. They could save their lives, but they would also have to pay a heavy price.
Emperor Xuande glanced at the Minister of Works Rong Hai, "How is the renovation of Prince Ning's Mansion going? Is it possible to live there?"
Rong Hai hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "In reply to the emperor, if the wedding has to wait for some time, the house must be repaired more carefully. If His Royal Highness Prince Ning wants to live there first, he can move in. The main house in the main courtyard has been repaired."
After Shen Zhiheng's death, Emperor Xuande ordered the Ministry of Works to speed up the repairs. Rong Hai was cautious and ordered people to carefully repair the main courtyard first.
This way, even if Prince Ning is anxious to get married, he will have a place to get married, and he can deal with other places first.
Hearing the emperor's question at this moment, Rong Hai suddenly felt that his decision at that time was extremely correct.
Emperor Xuande was very satisfied with Rong Hai's reply, "Now that the repairs are completed, Yunzhou will be moved directly to Prince Ning's Mansion."
He looked at Princess Yongjia and Li Jingchuan again, and said in a cold voice: "As for the Prince of Shan County, it will be downgraded to the Marquis of Shan County. All the titles previously bestowed on the Li family will be taken back. In addition, the fiefdom of Yongjia will be taken back."
"Li Jingchuan, be punished with fifty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."
"In addition, Li Yunzhou was officially appointed as the head coach of Northern Frontier."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yunzhou, if you don't want to have the surname Li anymore, why don't you take my surname Zhou? How about I adopt you as my adopted son?"
Li Yunzhou knelt down to express his gratitude, and then said, "I believe that I am not talented enough to be the emperor's adopted son. I still want to find my biological parents. If I can return to my ancestral home in my lifetime, I can also make up for my regret."
Many people present were grumbling in their hearts when they heard this, wondering whose son this Prince Ning was.
I don’t know whose ancestral grave is emitting smoke, such a great honor fell from the sky.
Pingning Hou Su Chengye, who was in the crowd, also lowered his head and his thoughts were wandering, wondering who had such good luck.
Princess Yongning didn't leave any message about where she picked it up on the roadside. Thinking of this, Su Chengye shook his head. What does this have to do with him? It couldn't be on the roadside outside the Su family.
Li Yunzhou had expected Emperor Xuande to punish the Li family. That was why he had not thought of talking about these things before. Such a small matter could not put a princess and a prince to death.
But after this incident, he could finally recognize his ancestral roots. He didn't need to let the Li family interfere in his marriage with Shen Yue.
Hu Lu shouted loudly to adjourn the court meeting, and today's court meeting ended.
Li Jingchuan and his wife lost their titles, military power, and face.
The two wanted to leave the palace quickly, but were stopped by the Dragon Guards, who wanted to take Li Jingchuan away to be punished.
Li Jingchuan looked at Princess Yongjia with a complicated expression and followed her.
Although fifty strokes of the cane were not enough to kill Li Jingchuan, they made him faint several times.
When the Dragon Guards carried him back to the palace, he closed his eyes tightly. I don't know if he fainted from shame or pain.
The person was placed on the bed in the main room of the main courtyard and could only lie on his stomach.
Princess Yongjia hurried in and when she reached the bedside, she saw Li Jingchuan suddenly raise his head, staring at her with a pair of sharp eyes.
"Who was it that sent me snacks back then?"
"And who wrote that letter?"
