On the wedding night, the prince asked me to see an andrologist

Chapter 312 The stolen goods were found
  Ning Muqing moved her lips, but before she could speak, Zhao Sijing woke up quietly in Chu Lixuan's arms. She gently pulled Chu Lixuan's sleeves, and her tearful eyes seemed to be able to speak, "Your Majesty, please... Please don't be angry, the princess sister cannot be blamed for all this, it is not her fault, it is me who failed to take care of my cousins ​​and made them make mistakes. Please punish me alone if you want to punish me."

With that said, Zhao Sijing got up from Chu Lixuan's arms, knelt down suddenly, and cried into tears in front of Chu Lixuan.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of you. Today, when the princess and sister checked the accounts, I found out that my cousin, who I have always trusted, did not manage the accounts of the palace well and made mistakes.

And Tingqin, she also made a lot of mistakes due to negligence. All of this is because of my lax discipline. If there is anything that needs to be punished, please punish me.

But I dare to swear to God that this matter was not connived by me on purpose. I never knew that such a thing happened. I just thought that my cousin had studied, so I asked him to take care of the accounts.
  I don't know. He is not a professional in this area, so he made such a mistake. However, this matter is indeed his problem, and there is nothing to quibble about.

As for Tingqin, it was all because I was too anxious to promote her and did not consider that she did not understand many things. After all, this matter is all my fault.

If they really need to be punished, please let me go and let me bear it. "Zhao Sijing burst into tears and took full responsibility for all her faults.

Listening to what Zhao Sijing said, others were probably surprised, but Ning Muqing felt that it was expected.

She is more generous than she thought.

A good move is to sacrifice yourself and strike first.

If Zhao Sijing takes the initiative to admit her mistakes and pretends that she already knows her mistakes and will definitely change them, Chu Lixuan will feel pity, and in the end, the big thing will be reduced to a trivial matter.

but……

This trick may only work on others, but it won't work on Ning Muqing. She has a lot of tricks up her sleeve.

Chu Lixuan listened to Zhao Sijing's words and saw Accountant Li next to him who had been beaten to a bloody pulp. There was also this dark group of people surrounding Ning Muqing, their eyes full of ice scum. He said, "Princess, this courtyard is being destroyed." What are you trying to hide from me by surrounding me with three layers of people inside and three layers outside? Are you going to start a killing spree? Although Concubine Zhao is a concubine, she is also a concubine who has received the canonization ceremony in the palace. I cannot tolerate you being so wanton. Oppression.”

"I wonder where the prince's remarks came from? Did he just listen to Qin's words? Or did the person who informed you tell you, then did anyone tell you that your palace is about to be evacuated?
  The mistake she mentioned was not a trivial matter, but that these people secretly colluded together to embezzle money from the public. In two years, the entire palace spent millions of taels.
  If this continues, I don’t know how much money you have left to be corrupted. I just took a look at the account book, and it seems that there is not much money left, and I will soon become a pauper. "

Ning Muqing acted as if the matter had nothing to do with her, and her tone was very calm.

After Chu Lixuan heard this, his cold eyes that were looking at Ning Muqing suddenly closed, and he looked at Zhao Sijing with a bit of scrutiny.

"My lord, please calm down. This happened all because I failed to discipline my servants. Don't worry, I will definitely restrain their behavior from now on. It is absolutely impossible for this kind of thing to happen in the palace."

Zhao Sijing said quickly.

Ning Muqing sneered, "That's easy to say. Butler Zhou, please tell your prince the details of my princess's accounting just now."

Butler Zhou got Ning Muqing's permission and immediately stepped forward, lowering his head to report to Chu Lixuan.

Originally, Housekeeper Zhou was dissatisfied with Zhao Sijing, and the fact that she drove away Accountant Sun was even more unpopular. Housekeeper Zhou was worried that one day she would be framed by Zhao Sijing, so she naturally told the truth at this time. If she could add some spice to it, Zhou would The housekeeper will inevitably exaggerate.

While Chu Lixuan listened, his expression began to become extremely sharp. His cold gaze was directed at Zhao Sijing, and anger slowly rose in his eyes.

Just when he was about to get angry, the guards who went to search came back and walked to the bamboo forest courtyard with a few boxes.

Seeing Chu Lixuan's presence, the guards hurriedly stepped forward and said, "See the prince."

"What are these?" Chu Lixuan asked coldly.

The leader of the guards walking in front replied, "Your Majesty, the princess just sent us to search Accountant Li's room, Miss Qin's room, and the room of the concubine. All these things were found in their rooms, including precious gold and silver." The utensils also include cash silver, gold, and most of them are valuable jewelry. The remaining silver notes also have a lot of them. I didn’t dare to delay and brought them back in a hurry."

With that said, these guards lifted all the things and placed them in front of Chu Lixuan.

When they lifted up the box, everyone saw that the silver and jewelry in the box were piled up in piles. The silver was shining brightly in the sun, blinding their eyes.

But everyone who saw it was shocked when they saw this scene.

When Chu Lixuan saw these things, the veins on his forehead had popped out. He showed a bit of anger on his face and asked, "Whose room did you find these things from?"

"Back to the prince, the 50,000 taels of silver notes were found under the floor tiles in Li's accounting room, some of the jewelry was in the concubine's room, and the rest of the cash and antique utensils were found in the secret room of the listening room. ,
  There are too many of these things. The total of banknotes and cash alone is close to one million taels. It is difficult to count the rest. My subordinates estimate that it is about two million taels. "

Ning Muqing was quite satisfied with the search results and immediately said, "I just checked. Concubine Zhao spent more than three million taels in the past two years, and now she has found almost two hundred taels from the three of their rooms." More than ten thousand taels,
  This means that in the past two years when the concubine was in charge of the family, she spent more than one million taels of silver, and also squandered more than two million taels. Just now, Butler Zhou invited someone to reconcile the accounts, and there was still a gap of 300,000 taels.
  Maybe the amount is too large, and they can't even remember what the money was used for. Concubine Zhao, with this result, do you still dare to say that the palace is well managed by you?

Fortunately, I have taken over the palace now, otherwise if it corrodes at your rate, the palace will be bankrupted by you in a short time! "

Zhao Sijing was shocked when she heard this number. She cried, "Your Majesty, I can't help you. It's all my fault. It was my neglect of management that allowed them to make such a heinous mistake. But …I really don’t know anything about this matter, so please be aware of it.”

Chu Lixuan's deep gaze fell on Zhao Sijing.

She didn't seem to believe that she really didn't know.

"Someone, bring Tingqin and Accountant Li to me."

Chu Lixuan said coldly and asked someone to move a stool to sit next to Ning Muqing.

He was filled with the domineering power of a king. As long as he moved to that place, the entire courtyard instantly became his home court. His eyes were fierce and ruthless, as if he was facing the enemy on the battlefield.

If the guards were afraid of Ning Muqing, they were spontaneously impressed by Chu Lixuan.

After the guards received the order, they immediately pushed Tingqin to his knees on the ground, and Accountant Li, who had been beaten to a bloody pulp, was also dragged to Chu Lixuan.

"Do you...please plead guilty?"

Butler Zhou handed the settled bill to Chu Lixuan. Chu Lixuan only glanced at it before crumpling it into a ball and throwing it away. The ball of paper suddenly hit Tingqin.

Listen to the piano and make a muffled sound, which makes the paper ball into flesh.

It seemed that Chu Lixuan was extremely angry, and the paper balls he threw were filled with internal energy.

"puff!"

The next second, Tingqin spit out a mouthful of blood.

His Royal Highness Prince Ning was furious. In addition, the witnesses and evidence were all there, and the stolen goods were found. How could Accountant Li dare not admit his crime and beg for mercy and admit his mistake.
