His well-defined right hand coldly held a white jade porcelain teacup.
He raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Su Ming. His expression was calm and he exuded a noble aura, as if he was a king descending to the world.
Su Ming glanced at Chu Xuanchen ruthlessly. His eyes were filled with coldness.
However, he lacked confidence at this time and couldn't be unyielding because Su Changxiao was the one who made the mistake first.
He said in a low voice, "Although Changxiao made a mistake this time, it wasn't a grave one. She has already been punished and the little heir is safe. Your Highness The Emperor of Li, can you spare her life on account of your past friendship with my daughter? "
Chu Xuanchen gripped the teacup in his hand tightly. "Wang has already spared her many times and given her many chances. However, not only did she not restrain herself, she even went overboard. This time, she harmed Wang's son. Harming the imperial heir is an additional crime. Her crime is unpardonable! "
At this point, Chu Xuanchen looked at Geng Tian. "Lord Geng, Su Changxiao committed such a serious crime. How should she be sentenced?"
Geng Tian glanced at Chu Xuanchen. Fine beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead.
He looked at Su Ming again and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He said helplessly, "She dared to murder an imperial relative. According to the law … according to the law, she should be beheaded."
"Did you hear that, Lord Su? According to the law, Su Changxiao should be beheaded. Therefore, Wang can't let her off. Otherwise, Wang will be flouting the law and bending the law for personal gain! "Chu Xuanchen said domineeringly.
When Su Ming heard this, his face turned ashen.
Chu Xuanchen didn't give him any face at all. His gaze was dark. "The Emperor of Li just said that it was my daughter and the wet nurse who kidnapped the heir. In that case, this matter wasn't my daughter's fault. If the wet nurse hadn't kidnapped the heir, my daughter wouldn't have succeeded. So it was The Emperor of Li who didn't keep an eye on his servants and allowed a mole to appear in The Emperor of Li's residence. Shouldn't you also reflect on yourself? Reflect on yourself. Did you fail to see through people and were deceived by others, resulting in this disaster? "
Chu Xuanchen sneered and said, "You can't see through people clearly and have been deceived by others? I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple. Perhaps someone set up a trap to lure the wet nurse of The Emperor of Li's residence into it? "
"A trap? What do you mean by that? "Su Ming asked coldly.
Chu Xuanchen slammed the teacup on the table and said, "According to the wet nurse Auntie Zhang's confession, her son Liu Cheng committed murder, so she went around trying to save Liu Cheng. Just when she was at her wit's end, Su Changxiao found her and said that as long as Auntie Zhang helped her take away Wang's son, Su Changxiao could ask Lord Geng to release Liu Cheng. Is that true? "
Geng Tian's eyelids twitched when he heard this. "Your Highness, this lowly official didn't know about this. This lowly official wouldn't dare to listen to Miss Su and release a criminal without permission."
Chu Xuanchen said coldly, "There must be a reason for everything. Whether you dare or not, that's what Su Changxiao said. Auntie Zhang, other than that, what else did Su Changxiao say to you? "
Auntie Zhang timidly glanced at Su Ming and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, Su Changxiao also said that her father, Lord Su, was not only a loyal and courageous duke, but also the head of the Six Ministries, the Minister of Appointments. She also said that everyone in the Ministry of Justice was Lord Su's people and that it would be easy for her to release a criminal. That's why I listened to her and took away the Little Heir. I wanted to use the Little Heir's life in exchange for my son's. "
Auntie Zhang didn't dare to lie in front of Chu Xuanchen.
Chu Xuanchen sneered when he heard this. Su Ming wasn't just the Minister of Appointments, he also held the position of Minister of Internal Affairs, Commander of the Imperial Guard, and dozens of other positions.
Half of the people in the Ministry of Justice were promoted by him, so it wasn't strange for Su Changxiao to say something like that.

Dear readers, good reviews are very important to Little Seven.
Right now, I only have 23 thousand good reviews. I hope that everyone will give me more good reviews. If I can reach 30 thousand good reviews in a month, I will grit my teeth and write 5 more chapters on the day I reach 30 thousand good reviews. If I do this every day, even Little Seven won't be able to do it.
Little Seven has exhausted all his energy to write five or six chapters every day. He's exhausted from morning to night. I hope that everyone will give him more good reviews so that he can be motivated.
