Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

Su Tingwan was caught off guard and startled, and said calmly, "Of course not."

"That's very good." He raised the corners of his lips in a faint smile with an unknown meaning. A sense of imperial majesty was shocking, as if to say that if you dare to lie to me, I will not forgive you.

Xie Shang said to Su Xuan in a cold voice, "They violated military discipline and threatened a decent woman. They should be punished according to military law. General Su, what crime should these five soldiers be charged with?"

Su Xuan was stunned, and said quickly, "Those with serious offenses should be beheaded as a warning to others. If the offense is minor, they should be punished with a military stick to serve as a warning to others. No matter what the reason, soldiers should abide by military discipline. If they are easily deceived, they should be punished..."

"One hundred military sticks!" Xie Shang said loudly, "This king does not want the army of the Great Zhou to be undisciplined, and even less does he want such things to happen. If such behavior happens to a soldier, whether it is voluntary or forced, he will be executed immediately once discovered."

Su Xuan and Su Dehai were also shocked. His Royal Highness Prince Heng was indeed more courageous than the emperor. Since the prince said that they would be beaten with a hundred military sticks, whether they could survive depended on their luck.

If someone is really beaten to death, Su Xuan will also be there to clean up the mess.

The five of them were terrified. They knelt on the ground and trembled. They were no longer as nonchalant as before.

They wanted to beg for mercy, but Su Xuan's eyes warned them. After all, they were Su Xuan's army, so they naturally did not dare to resist.

Xie Shang waved his sleeves, walked up to Yin Xing, and said sternly, "The maid stole the master's money and property, and the evidence is irrefutable. What should be done? Beat her to death! Wan Wan should not want to plead for such a treacherous servant."

Su Tingwan felt her whole body shiver. She had never seen Xie Shang so cold and heartless. He had always been gentle and elegant.

When Yin Xing heard that she was going to be executed, she screamed in fear. Su Xuan was also ready to take action, but Lin Feng got there first. "I don't think Yin Xing deserves death. Although she stole her master's property, she has already found it back. She also served the concubine wholeheartedly for so long. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard."

Although Lin Feng didn't like Ginkgo, he didn't think that she, a maid, had done anything wrong and deserved to die for her master, so he asked for mercy.

"Yes, Lin Feng is right. Ginkgo was also very dedicated when she was with me." Su Tingwan also said.

"So Wanwan is not going to pursue the matter." He added, "I remember Wanwan told me that Yinxing was actually Madam Liu's maid. She didn't steal your things. You can't make the decision, right?"

Aunt Liu said quickly, "Back then, I asked Yinxing to serve Miss Wan, so she belongs to Miss Wan. As for the jewelry she stole from me, it has been found. It is up to Miss Wan to decide whether Yinxing should be punished or not."

They just wanted to set up a trap so they said Ginkgo was Aunt Liu's man.

"I will not pursue the matter any further. Even if she has no merit, she has worked hard. It was all due to my negligence. She has suffered so much with me, but I let her receive Ye Susu's favor. It was really wrong. I am also wrong." Su Ting was sincere and took Ginkgo's hand personally.

Ginkgo was so frightened that she dared not look up. If she wanted to stay alive, she had to obey the eldest master's orders, otherwise she would die. Just now, the prince wanted to execute her, but Lin Feng stood up and pleaded for her.

"Doctor Ye instigated others to steal, and demanded money under the pretext of selling medicine and clothes. What crime should she be punished for?" Xie Shang said in a cold voice. "She is a righteous warrior selected by the court to go to the border to provide support. I may not be able to deal with her privately. I will report the matter to my father when I return to the capital, and let him handle it."

He said this to Su Dehai. The battle was won, and the Su family and Prince Heng had made contributions, as had all the soldiers, officers, generals and subordinates. The doctors who went to the border had also made contributions, and Ye Susu was one of them. If she died for no reason or was murdered by someone, even Prince Heng would not be able to explain to the emperor or to the people of the world.

No matter how great the Su family's contributions are, if they carefully investigate Su Tingwan's itinerary after leaving Beijing, they will always find out the truth. The Su family will not want to make a big deal out of it, and the royal family will not lose face because of a concubine.

No matter what the result is, Su Tingwan can never join the royal family again.

Su Dehai said quickly, "Doctor Ye is innocent. The transaction is free and the payment is made. Wanwan's maid used someone else's ointment and wore someone else's clothes, so Wanwan should pay the money. Since Doctor Ye did not tell the prince those unfounded things, it must be a misunderstanding. Wanwan should apologize to Doctor Ye. I think it must be the maid who spread the wrong message and caused Doctor Ye to misunderstand, which led to so many misunderstandings."

At this point, if Ye Susu was smart, she should quit while she was ahead and stop worrying about whether Concubine Su had lost her innocence, because it really had nothing to do with her.

Xie Shang didn't need her false kindness. He just wanted to achieve his own goal and successfully attract the attention of King Heng.

Even if Su Tingwan didn't want to apologize, she had to bow her head, "Doctor Ye, I'm sorry, it's all my servant's fault."

Ye Susu looked coldly and said nothing. It was a fact that they had let the soldiers insult her just now. If Lin Feng had not arrived in time, her innocence would have been ruined.

Su Tingwan was naturally unhappy about being ignored by Ye Susu, but she didn't dare to act like a spoiled brat anymore. She obediently asked the maid to take the silver and hand it to Ye Susu, who threw it directly on the ground.

She finally understood that it was because she had no power and influence that she was bullied by them.

For a moment, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward. Xie Shang said, "Get the military sticks ready. I will personally supervise the beating."

The soldier was beaten with a hundred military sticks. Even if he was not dead, he was crippled. Xie Shang stared at him without even blinking, which made people feel chilling.

All five of them were covered in blood and vomiting blood. They were harmed by Su Xuan, but they could not speak. Only the soldiers themselves knew who the culprit was.

After experiencing a life-and-death experience, Ye Susu never dared to run around again, and even dared not to trust anyone. She never expected that Ginkgo would bite her back.

In fact, Ye Susu herself should have done the same. If she hadn't wanted to curry favor with King Heng and deliberately angered Su Tingwan, how could she have been hated by Su Tingwan and even had her innocence almost ruined?

She still overestimated her own abilities.

Xie Shang sat in the carriage with an expressionless face, reading a book in his hand. Su Tingwan sat on the other side and did not dare to speak. She was not sure whether Xie Shang was suspicious, but she became absolutely honest.

Along the way, Xie Shang refused to sleep in the same bed with her, and she didn't dare to make any more requests, as if she felt guilty.

The seed of her infidelity had already been planted in Xie Shang's heart, so it was difficult to remove this doubt.

If Su Tingwan didn't do it, she wouldn't do this.
