Chapter 281 The Character of the Crown Princess
"I beg the Crown Princess to spare this slave girl this time! There is nothing I can do about it. The servant girl's mother is dying of illness, and she committed such a wrong thing in order to save her mother's life. I beg the Crown Princess Princess to see it for the slave girl's mother's sake. Spare the servant!"

Everyone looked pitiful, and some women with shallow tears began to wipe their tears with handkerchiefs.

Zhao Xiwei smiled again, and raised his hand lightly: "Come here, take her away and send her to the East Palace!"

This maidservant is an important clue, and she must not be murdered to silence her.

"Don't..." The maid paralyzed and grabbed Zhao Xiwei's skirt, struggling endlessly: "I beg the princess to spare me!"

Yuan Ce immediately drew his sword, Zhao Xiwei slightly raised his hand, and he retracted the sword edge.

Zhao Xiwei let her grab her skirt, looked coldly at the people on the ground, and asked, "You think you have no choice?"

The servant girl was overjoyed, and quickly kowtowed a few more times: "Yes! I have nothing to do with you, my servant's mother is dying, and I am in a hurry to save money! This servant is desperate and lost his head for a while, please forgive me this time. !"

Zhao Xi smiled, and when he finished laughing, his complexion suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Who has no need? Who has no way out? But that's why you hurt people? Yes, your mother is sick, but you In order to save your mother, you can hurt innocent people? Then have you ever thought, what about the person you hurt? Whose mother is she, and whose child is she?"

Her voice was as cold as ice, and every word hit people's hearts.

How much suffering and torture she and her mother experienced back then, but she and her mother never had the intention of harming others.

If you think of murdering others just because you are in trouble, what is there to sympathize with?

The maid was stunned by her rhetorical question, and tears of regret flowed down her face. She begged bitterly: "This servant knows she deserves to die, but if this servant dies, there will be no one to take care of my mother..."

Zhao Xi smiled mockingly: "I can't tell, but you are quite filial."

"I have been dependent on my mother since I was a child..." The servant girl seemed to see hope, and immediately kowtowed to the ground, "I beg the princess to spare this servant, if this servant dies, my mother will not live long either!"

"Yes, yes!" The surrounding female relatives were moved to tears, pleading for her with red eyes: "This maidservant is really filial, the Crown Princess will spare her life!"

"That's right, the Crown Princess will let her go, woo woo woo..." Some of the young daughters of Qianjin were already sobbing in their mother's arms.

"Yes, please forgive her!"

……

The voices of pleading came one after another.

Zhao Xiwei listened coldly, and suddenly laughed: "You guys really have kind hearts!"

Everyone choked and looked over in puzzlement.

Zhao Xi narrowed his almond eyes slightly, and said coolly: "Where does she have filial piety? Her mother is dying of illness, and she still thinks of harming others outside, making her mother sleepless. What kind of filial piety is it to protect your mother, but push her out as your golden medal of innocence?"

His tone paused, his eyes turned to the maidservant, and he said with a half-smile: "Killing for life, breaking the law and going to jail, if you are really filial, you should plead guilty and obey the law, and it is not in vain to exchange your life for the ten taels of silver life-saving money." is not it?"

"Slave..." The maid seemed to be moved, and finally burst into tears, choked up and said: "Slave is guilty!"

"Okay!" Zhao Xiwei gently pulled out his sleeve from her hand, and said lightly, "Send her to the East Palace!"

"Yes!" The guard stood by with a knife.

"Wait a minute!" A cold shout sounded.

The voice was as iron as steel, and there was a bit of old-fashioned in the coldness.

Hearing this voice, the female relatives who were moved to tears just now stopped sobbing immediately, and turned their heads to look at the room on the left.

Across the hollow carved fan, the plain gauze curtain hangs down, and a figure floats up.

"It's Lord Yushitai Zhou!" Someone whispered.

Zhao Xiwei followed the gazes of the crowd and turned around after seeing the screen.

He was dressed in a crimson official uniform, a little whitish, without any gold or jade ornaments all over his body. This poverty did not make him look shabby, but on the contrary added a bit of upright demeanor.

It was Zhou Jiren, the chief of Yushitai.

He came to the front of the hall, bowed his hands in awe, gave Zhao Xiwei a cold look, and said, "As the concubine's wife, the Crown Princess should be ashamed of herself, and follow the law in her actions, so as to establish her integrity. But you are in front of the public. Swearing so harshly that the siblings turned against each other and the aunt's heart hurts, it really disregards human relations and violates the rules! Moreover, even if the maidservant has done something wrong, the government will punish her, and the Crown Princess rashly arrests her. Suspected of Sichen and Yuezu acting as their substitutes, the royal family's Tianwei might be damaged!"

The officials of Yushitai are responsible for persuading and advising, and all of them have a mean mouth.As the chief official, Zhou Jiren is very good at eloquence, he can scold people brilliantly without changing his face.

The words were so harsh and the attitude was so fierce, not to mention the women, even the officials of the Jiuli court couldn't bear it, and stood up from behind the screen with a clatter.

Those who are timid, hurriedly rolled up their sleeves quietly, moved their heels calmly, and were ready to find an opportunity to escape at any time—it was true that the stern and selfless Yushitai met the delicate and soft princess concubine. If you make a big fuss and poke him in front of His Majesty, who knows what will happen?
The courageous ones all showed their excitement about watching the excitement, and even leaned their heads against their heads, whispering.

"Hiss—this Zhou Jiren is really strong!"

"Tsk, I heard that the Crown Princess is very favored, Zhou Jiren has nothing to eat this time!"

"To be fair, it's a bit..."

"..."

Gu Yong coughed, but did not make a sound to stop it.

Firstly, it is Yushitai's duty to advise and remonstrate, and secondly, what Zhou Jiren said is not unreasonable...

As the prince's uncle, he doesn't want the prince to spoil any woman too much... The color makes the mind faint, and the love misleads others. Throughout the ages, how many people who can achieve great things are addicted to tenderness?

The whispers were endless, Zhao Xiwei stood calmly in front of the hall, glanced at the officials with different expressions, and smiled.

People, she will definitely take them away, with Yuan Ce's martial arts, let alone a mediator, even ten generals can't do anything about it.

In this case, there is no point in wasting words.

Just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw a person jumping out from behind the screen.

Sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, described as wretched.

It was Wang Fan.

Zhao Xi slightly raised his eyebrows, and his eyes sank.

This Wang Fan jumped out several times, but relying on the support of the queen mother, he was always able to retreat unscathed.

It's disgusting.
