Chapter 192: Rectify the princess's mansion. Every family has its own rules. Beat them all to death!
After Zhu Houcong suddenly came to the princess's mansion, he heard screams and ordered everyone in the mansion not to report it, so Duan Yuhong didn't know he had appeared.

"His Majesty!"

Even Princess Yongfu had just seen Zhu Houcong appear here, and at this time she shouted in surprise and bowed.

Duan Yuhong was naturally shocked, and immediately lost all her courage. She stopped and looked back, and saw that the emperor really appeared in front of her.

boom!
Zhu Houcong kicked Duan Yuhong.

"Ouch!"

Duan Yuhong flew backwards and fell on the white marble steps. She felt as if her whole body was falling apart and her face was twisted in pain.

Simultaneously.

Duan Yuhong also suddenly felt angry.

Let’s talk.

Duan Yuhong has always lived in an independent little world in the inner court and has not come into contact with many people.

Apart from the Queen Mother, there weren't many people she had to please directly. Besides, Princess Yongfu had a weak and kind personality.

Therefore, she was naturally accustomed to being the king in this small world, so she was not so afraid of the imperial power, nor did she know the emperor that well. She even felt like she was the "local emperor" in this small world, and she felt that she could achieve whatever she wanted.

As a result, she developed an arrogant and domineering attitude, and when the emperor suddenly kicked her, she became angry.

After all, in her little world, no one dared to kick her directly, so she instinctively thought that no one dared to kick her.

And it wasn't until she came to her senses that she realized how insignificant she was.

Apart from hoping that the princess could ask for some favor from God for her, she had no other way to deal with the emperor.

Therefore, Duan Yuhong had to force a smile and explain: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I am just teaching you."

Zhu Houcong ignored Duan Yuhong and looked at the maid who was still lying on the bench outside and asked, "Who is she?"

Everyone in the princess's mansion knelt on the ground, and no one answered.

"answer!"

Zhu Houcong shouted loudly.

Duan Yuhong was the first to speak at this time: "She is a new maid in the princess's mansion, her name is Wu Dongqin. She broke the rules, and I am punishing her."

"Wu Dongqin?"

When Zhu Houcong heard the name, he secretly said badly and his face became even uglier!

"Huang Jin, quickly call Doctor Zhou to rescue her!"

Zhu Houcong immediately gave an order.

Huang Jin quickly said yes.

Lu Bing reminded Zhu Houcong: "Your Majesty, why not summon our Jinyiwei doctors? Jinyiwei doctors have rich experience in treating bat sores."

Zhu Houcong nodded: "That makes sense, send someone to pass it on immediately!"

"Yes!"

When Duan Yuhong heard Zhu Houcong wanted to save a low-level slave, she forgot the pain and her eyes widened.

The low-level servants in the princess's mansion were also greatly surprised.

"Does the emperor cherish the lives of us lowly servants so much?"

However, the eunuchs and female officials in charge of the princess's mansion all turned pale at this time and begged for mercy, saying that Duan Yuhong had asked them to do this.

"Lu Bing!"

Zhu Houcong then gave another order.

Lu Bing immediately bowed his hands: "I am here!"

Zhu Houcong pointed at Duan Yuhong and said, "Put this lowly maid on the spring stool and beat her to ask her why she asked the princess for the reward silver."

"Yes!"

Duan Yuhong was lifted up by the Jinyiwei like a fat pig and placed on a spring stool.

Snapped!
Then, the skilled Jinyiwei hit her fat buttocks twice with the stick.

Duan Yuhong immediately grimaced and squinted her eyes, losing her voice in pain. Only after a while did her tears flow out.

She was really scared at this moment, and she realized how insignificant she was, especially in front of the emperor. She could only endure the pain and shout, "Your Highness, save me!"

Princess Yongfu couldn't help but look at Zhu Houcong.

Zhu Houcong waved his hand, not letting Princess Yongfu speak. He only looked at Duan Yuhong at this time: "Don't tell me that it's because of too much expenditure. Otherwise, if I find out that the expenditure of the Princess's Mansion is not very large, you will end up in a worse situation!"

"It's the Prince Consort!"

"My Lord Consort asked me to get it."

Duan Yuhong answered without hesitation at this time.

Because she had already received instructions from the outer court that if she encountered such a situation, she should throw the dirty water on the son-in-law Shen Xueli.

Zhu Houcong pretended to be surprised and looked back at Princess Yongfu.

Princess Yongfu couldn't help but open her eyes wide with a look of surprise.

Zhu Houcong turned back to look at Duan Yuhong: "Really?"

"Yes."

"The Prince Consort said that the Emperor has a huge amount of money coming into the treasury, and asked us to ask for some from the Princess's Mansion, and then share it with this servant."

Duan Yuhong said with tears in her eyes.

"Lu Bing!"

Zhu Houcong gave an order at this time.

"Chen is here!"

"Catch Prince Shen!"

Zhu Houcong gave an order.

After hearing this, Princess Yongfu couldn't help but tighten the handkerchief in her hand, with a worried look on her face. She opened her mouth to speak, but dared not.

Zhu Houcong glanced at her and said nothing, but suddenly asked loudly: "Is the doctor here?"

Princess Yongfu shuddered suddenly and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Huang Jin said at this time: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I will send someone to urge them now!"

Let’s talk.

Lu Bing brought the Jinyiwei to arrest Shen Xueli. When he heard that Shen Xueli had gone to the Censorate, he hurried to the Censorate.

At this time, the Censorate.

Censor Yang Enzheng asked Shen Xueli with a smile: "What is the Prince Consort doing in the Censorate?"

Shen Xueli took out his petition and said, "I want to sue the Yongfu Princess's mansion for teaching the female officials to deceive the master and disobeying the orders of Your Highness. I also ask the officials of the Censorate to report the petition." "Why don't you go to the Ministry of Public Security and submit the petition directly?"

Yang En asked.

Shen Xueli said: "Because there is no solid evidence, we can only ask the Censorate to spread rumors so that Your Majesty can send someone to investigate!"

Yang En sneered, "When Prince Consort Shen was a student at the Imperial Academy, wasn't he quite brave enough to make a memorial to the emperor to point out the evils of the Yellow Book? Why doesn't he dare to make a memorial directly now? Is he so afraid of speaking out beyond his authority?"

"As a royal consort, you should be more careful to abide by the rules."

After Shen Xueli answered, he bowed and said, "Please ask the Censorate to submit a memorial on my behalf."

then.

Shen Xueli took out a bag of silver dollars and said, "I know the rules. Here are 100 silver dollars. It's not a sign of respect."

Yang En returned the bag of silver dollars and said, "Your Highness is right to abide by the rules, and it is best for you to always abide by them! Because you should know that we in the outer court have been keeping an eye on you. Preventing you from participating in the provincial examination is only the beginning, not the end!"

Yang En crossed his legs as he spoke: "So, don't think that just because you become the Prince Consort, we won't target you!"

Bang!
Yang En slammed the table as he spoke, and stood up, gnashing his teeth:

"Everyone in the world knows that the evils of the Yellow Book cannot be exposed!"

"Even though everyone knows there is a big problem here!"

"Every student who participated in the review has been reminded of this. But you chose to point it out. Now that you have pointed it out, don't expect to get away with it!"

Yang En said as he brushed his sleeves and turned his back: "We in the Censorate will not take care of this matter. Go back and either report it directly to the Ministry of Public Security or just bear with it!"

"That's right!"

"Prince Shen better be really careful all the time, otherwise don't blame us for not reminding you, there will be plenty of times to humiliate and torture you."

“Although you are lucky, and after being persecuted by the officials and unable to take part in the provincial examination, you still became a prince consort and gained wealth and honor, but a prince consort is not a powerful official after all, and the officials can still punish you if they want to!

At this time, the censor Su Han also threatened Shen Xueli, venting his dissatisfaction with Shen Xueli because Shen Xueli made the emperor pay attention to the problem of the Yellow Book.

Shen Xueli couldn't help but clench his fists after hearing this: "You really don't deserve to be censors!"

"It's not up to you to decide whether we are worthy or not!"

Su Han sneered.

"Prince Shen!"

"We have ordered you to appear before the Emperor! Come with us!"

At this time.

Lu Bing came over with the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Upon seeing this, Su Han immediately came over and said with a smile, "Third Master! I didn't expect you to visit our Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Although Lu Bing was just an ordinary Jinyiwei centurion, all the officials in Beijing knew that his other identity was Zhu San, one of the Taibao of the Northern Pacification Division, a close confidant of the emperor who could decide the life and death of any court official.

Therefore, even ministers would behave particularly politely when meeting Lu Bing, not to mention ordinary censors. Unless they were truly upright and unwilling to curry favor with others, they would basically not put on airs in front of Lu Bing.

Seeing this, Yang En immediately made a cup of tea and came out to greet him: "Third Master, have a cup of tea!"

"No more drinking!"

Lu Bing said this and took Shen Xueli away from the Censorate.

When Yang En and Su Han saw Shen Xueli being taken away by the Jinyiwei, they both smiled with satisfaction.

"Inform all your friends that Shen Xueli, the pedantic fool who ruined everyone's business, has been arrested by the Northern Pacification Office!"

"Such a good thing should be made public, and we should even find an opportunity to pay the Imperial Guards to torture this ungrateful bastard to death in the Imperial Prison!"

Yang En and Su Han couldn't help but start talking.

But Shen Xueli didn't know why the emperor took him away.

This shocked Shen Xueli, but he didn't say anything. He just frowned and thought that it might be related to the fact that he had offended the officials and wealthy people in the world.

However, Shen Xueli did not expect that he would be brought to the princess's mansion.

When he was taken to the princess's mansion, Wu Dongqin had already received preliminary treatment from Doctor Zhou and the Jinyiwei doctors who were brought to the capital by Zhu Houcong from the palace. Doctor Zhou had already reported to Zhu Houcong:
"Your Majesty, her injury is not serious. If she takes good care of herself, she won't be in any serious trouble, and she won't have any inconvenience in moving around."

Zhu Houcong nodded after hearing this and asked Wu Dongqin: "Can you speak now?"

Wu Dongqin said: "Yes!"

"Well!"

"Carry her to her own room first, and assign two maids from the princess's mansion who are familiar with her to take care of her."

Zhu Houcong looked at Shen Xueli and said, "Prince Consort Shen, Lady Duan Yuhong said that you were the one who instigated her to ask the princess to submit a petition for a reward of silver?"

"Your Majesty! I am innocent!"

"If I want the princess to do this, why not tell her directly? Why go through her?"

Shen Xueli replied quickly.

Duan Yuhong gritted her teeth and said, "Because you are afraid that the emperor will know this directly from the princess and then be angry with you, so you use me!"

Shen Xueli knelt down immediately after hearing this: "Your Majesty, I am truly wronged!"

Duan Yuhong shouted, "Your Majesty, I have not wronged the Prince Consort!"

Zhu Houcong looked at Princess Yongfu and said, "Sister, who should I trust? I will trust whoever you tell me to trust."

"Your Highness! I was wrong in the past. I shouldn't have treated you like that!"

Duan Yuhong didn't expect that Zhu Houcong gave the decision-making power to Princess Yongfu, so she hurriedly apologized to Princess Yongfu.

It was also the first time that she realized that the weak and vulnerable princess was so important to her. She was the only person in her world who could influence the imperial power.

So, she couldn't help crying, "Your Highness, please save me once, considering that I have watched you grow up!"

Princess Yongfu was naturally soft-hearted, so she said at this time: "Forget it, I don't want the reward money."

"no!"

"This is not about reward money."

"The country has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Since the royal sister can't make a choice, then kill them all!"

Zhu Houcong waved his hand and said, "Press the prince consort on the spring stool as well, and beat them all to death!"

"Yes!"

Shen Xueli couldn't help but close his eyes at this moment.

Duan Yuhong's eyes widened.

"slow!"

Princess Yongfu suddenly shouted, then gritted her teeth and looked at Zhu Houcong.
