After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes in discomfort. Her small face stiffened as if she was about to meet her death.
"Rou 'er, you!" Chu Xuanchen's voice suddenly turned cold.
Was she reminding him of how she had been frightened and alone in an empty room for the past month after he had married her?
Even if he doted on Nangong Rou, he had always been used to being pampered. He would never allow Nangong Rou to take advantage of his love and threaten him with her life.
"Your Highness, I'm willing to use my life in exchange for Dan 'er's life." Nangong Rou raised her head and said resolutely.
Dan 'er was deeply moved by his words. She'd been crying miserably all this time.
She swore that if she could keep her life this time, she would be even more loyal to the madam. Because only the madam treated her like a human and cared for her so much.
When he saw that Nangong Rou had shown such a strong stance in front of him for the first time, Chu Xuanchen suddenly remembered that Yun Ruoyue had argued with him for Fung last night.
Was the friendship between women so important that it surpassed the love between a man and a woman?
They were actually going against him for the sake of a servant girl?
His eyes were cold and dark. He angrily flung his sleeves and stood up with a face full of anger. "Fine, Wang, let her go."
"No, Your Highness. Dan 'er committed such a serious crime by embezzling eighty thousand taels of silver. According to the law, she should be beheaded. She absolutely cannot be let go." Yun Ruoyue raised her eyebrows and said coldly.
When Chu Xuanchen saw that Yun Ruoyue had interjected, a trace of horror flashed through his eyes. Why did this woman always like to go against him?
mark(“zhong“);
"Bold Princess Consort, you have no right to interfere with Wang's decision." Chu Xuanchen was angry. When did he have to be stopped when he wanted to let someone go?
Yun Ruoyue coldly hooked her lips and her gaze swept over Nangong Rou and Dan 'er. "We are both sisters. If Ce Consort Rou is willing to use her life in exchange for Dan' er's life, Your Highness will not misunderstand that they have an unspeakable relationship. But if it's me and Fung, we will be disdained and despised by you. Based on what? Feng 'er is a virgin. She and I have a pure master-servant relationship. We are like sisters, but she is still locked in the woodshed. Dan 'er had committed such a heinous crime, why would His Highness spare Dan' er just because of a few words from Concubine Rou? Isn't Wang Ye afraid that if this matter spreads out, people will say that you favor the concubine over the wife and oppress the wife? "
When Yun Ruoyue coldly said these words, everyone trembled in fear.
Nangong Rou glared at her. This woman had always ruined her plans. She wanted to cut her into pieces.
Chu Xuanchen suddenly walked towards Yun Ruoyue. His voice was bloodthirsty and deep, "Because Ce Consort Rou is different from you. She doesn't have a despicable father like you."
Yun Ruoyue coldly raised an eyebrow, "If Your Highness does not punish Dan 'er today, I will report this matter to the Empress Dowager and have her make a decision for me."
Whoever dared to bully her people, she would bully them back.
Last night, Nangong Rou worked with Chu Xuanchen to bully her and Fung. They even locked Fung up.
Then today, she would bully Nangong Rou and Dan 'er. She would make Dan' er suffer a hundred times more than Fung!
"Yun Ruoyue, what do you want?" Chu Xuanchen fiercely gritted his teeth. The Empress Dowager's body was not stable yet. He did not want to disturb her or provoke her.
If she knew about this matter, she would definitely side with Yun Ruoyue.
Moreover, he still needed Yun Ruoyue to treat the Empress Dowager. He couldn't do anything to Yun Ruoyue.
Yun Ruoyue coldly said, "It's very simple. Release Fung and let her return to my side. Also, in order to make an example out of those criminals, Dan 'er must be punished. However, since you released Fung, Dan 'er can be spared the death penalty, but she can't escape punishment. Other than confiscating her assets and having Ce Consort Rou give her dowry to the public to atone for Dan' er's crimes, give her thirty paddles. "
