"That's right, Your Highness. Please spare them for my sake. I'm pregnant and in poor health. It's all thanks to their help in taking care of me. I had signs of a miscarriage before, and it's all thanks to their care that the little heir was saved. Logically speaking, they are the meritorious servants of the Prince Yu Mansion, and they didn't really harm anyone. They were just joking and saying it casually. It's not a big deal. Just punish them a little and make them do more work. " Nangong Rou stuck out her belly and looked at Yun Ruoyue. "Sister has always been kind. I believe you will agree."
She was betting with the child in her belly.
She was betting that Chu Xuanchen would listen to her and spare the three of them because of the child.
"You said that they wanted to poison the people of the Feiyue Pavilion?" Chu Xuanchen's voice suddenly turned cold. His tall body approached Nangong Rou and stared at her coldly.
Nangong Rou was so frightened that she took a step back. "No, Your Highness. They only wanted to use laxatives to teach Qiqi a lesson. They didn't want to poison her."
"How dare you, servants, poison the Prince Yu Mansion. Men, drag them out and give them 50 strokes of the paddle. Then, banish them from the Prince Yu Mansion!" Chu Xuanchen suddenly ordered. Everyone was so frightened that they trembled.
The three of them seemed to have been doused with cold water. They were so frightened that they trembled and their faces turned pale.
They thought that since Nangong Rou was pregnant with a child, the Prince would give her face and spare their lives for the sake of the Prince's Residence's child.
They didn't expect that the Prince would not give them any face.
"Your Highness, please spare our lives. We know we were wrong. We won't dare to do it again."
"Madam, please help us to plead with the Prince. We didn't do it on purpose. We just said it casually. We didn't mean to harm anyone. Please spare our lives."
"Madam, we beg you."
They wouldn't be able to live after 50 strokes of the paddle.
"Your Highness …" Nangong Rou was just about to plead for leniency when Chu Xuanchen coldly interrupted her. "Did you instruct them to do this?"
"No, I don't know what they are discussing. Prince, please understand." Nangong Rou quickly shook her head.
Not only did he fail to save the person, he even lost himself.
"Wang, I believe you. You won't think of such a stupid idea." Chu Xuanchen looked at her meaningfully.
If she wanted to poison someone, she would directly poison them to death. Why would she only use laxatives?
"Many thanks for your highness' trust." Nangong Rou felt a chill run down his neck and his entire body was covered in cold sweat.
Yun Ruoyue looked at them coldly. Chu Xuanchen would rather believe Nangong Rou than her. How ironic.
Without needing Chu Xuanchen's order, Mo Li and the others had already stepped forward and dragged the three maidservants away.
At this moment, there was only the sound of the three maidservants crying and begging for mercy in the air.
If they had known, they wouldn't have begged for mercy. They would have let the princess consort punish them with 20 strokes of the paddle. It was better than the prince's 50 strokes.
Compared to the prince, the princess consort was still considered merciful.
As the voices gradually faded away, Chu Xuanchen suddenly looked at Yun Ruoyue. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards Xing Chen Pavilion. His appearance was so domineering that Princess Royal and Nangong Rou were stunned.
At this moment, a light pink figure was sitting on a tree not far away. He swung his long legs and quietly watched all of this.
He raised his eyebrows and his red lips curled coldly. He didn't expect that Princess Royal would speak up for him.
It seemed that she wasn't as hateful as she appeared to be. At least she had some conscience. It was just that her brain was lacking in order to distinguish between good and bad people.
She still didn't know that she was being led by the nose by Nangong Rou.
When he saw the little Yue 'er being dragged away by Chu Xuanchen, his heart tightened. He hurriedly used his qinggong to chase after them.
If Chu Xuanchen dared to hurt the little Yue 'er again, he would directly take her away.
