Chapter 399 The lower official convicted
"We wish our family to support you for more than ten years, and because you lost a life, you are treated like a daughter of a thousand gold. Why are you dissatisfied and insist on killing us?"

Zhu Liqun's tone became more and more angry.

He stared at Zhu Xinyue without any warmth in his eyes, as if looking at an enemy.

"Father believes that I told the eldest princess the secret?"

Zhu Xinyue looked at Zhu Liqun with complicated eyes.

She originally wanted to explain, but when she met the disappointed look in the other party's eyes, she felt stuck in her throat and couldn't say a lot.

"If it's not you, who else can you have? Sure enough, it's not your own, but it's just that you haven't raised it well."

Because he was too angry, Zhu Liqun said something without even thinking about it.

Listening to these words, Zhu Xinyue felt as if her heart had been stabbed with countless needles.

"So, father apologized to me two days ago, saying that he always regarded me as a blessing to his family...are they all fake?" She asked tremblingly.

Zhu Liqun was annoyed, he snorted coldly: "There is a human life between us, how can I treat you as a daughter again? Now, you are still telling the secret to the eldest princess, murdering our Zhu family, we will have no love in the future It can be said."

His words can be said to be very heartless.

And the volume of their conversation is not too low, so many people can hear it clearly.

"Father, this matter is our fault, how can we blame Yue'er?"

At this moment, Zhu Yinian turned around with his fists clenched.

He looked at Zhu Xinyue with guilty and distressed eyes.

But when his eyes moved to Zhu Liqun, his expression was filled with indescribable grief and disappointment.

"Yue'er has never done anything to be sorry for our Zhu family. The reason why mother passed away is not to blame her."

"Besides what happened recently, it is true that we concealed Xie Fei'er's identity and almost made a big mistake. It is our fault. Even if Yue'er really revealed the secret, we deserve it."

He gritted his teeth and said.

"Nian'er, you, you..." Zhu Liqun was anxious and panicked.

How could Nian'er agree to this matter? He would be punished all over the house.

Soon, Zhu Yinian turned around and knelt down to Chu Baihan again.

"Princess, in fact, at the beginning and at the end, I already doubted Xie Fei'er's identity. But Nai Hemo used her emotions to get angry with Yue'er, so he concealed the doubts about her identity for her."

"Unbelievable, she is actually the secret agent of Dongli Kingdom, and almost caused a big mistake."

"Besides, the last general didn't take the initiative to admit it because he was afraid that the eldest princess would blame him."

"Now that the truth has been revealed, the young general is ashamed and left to the eldest princess to deal with. But this matter was all done by the young general alone, and has nothing to do with Zhu Xia. Please forgive them by the eldest princess."

Zhu Yinian said these words word by word.

There was a commotion.

"So there are such details." Yan Lian whispered.

Zhu Yinian's subordinates all had red eyes.

"General, you are confused, how can you do such a thing?"

"No, Eldest Princess, I was at fault for this matter. Actually, I knew Xie Fei'er's true identity, but I messed around and didn't allow my brother to expose her. I was also the one who prevented my brother from confessing this matter."

"If you and His Royal Highness want to commit crimes, punish me. It has nothing to do with the rest."

Zhu Xinyue also came over. She knelt down beside Zhu Yinian and kowtowed so hard that her forehead turned red.

The Zhu family has been kind to her in nurturing her, and she just wants to intercede for them one last time, and then cut off the favor.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Feng originally wanted to say something.

But thinking that Yun Xi was dealing with this matter now, she had no choice but to suppress her desire to speak for Zhu Xinyue.

"Eldest Princess, Your Royal Highness, you are generous, so let the Zhu family be spared this time."

"They also don't know Xie Feier's true identity, and they are also victims."

"Thousands of mistakes are all Xie Fei'er's fault. Please let the eldest princess bypass the Zhu family this time for the sake of the general's hard work."

The lieutenants knelt down and begged for mercy.

Zhu Liqun also knelt in fear.

"Eldest princess, if you want to avenge your crime, you should punish the old minister alone. These things were done by the old minister, please let the others go." He pleaded with Chu Baihan in a sad tone.

Everyone's eyes fell on Chu Baihan, even Nan Li was no exception.

He said slowly: "Xiaobai, my father gave me a lot of power when I came to Tongzhou this time. Therefore, if I want to punish a subject, I have the right to do so."

What will the eldest princess do?

Everyone held their breath and looked nervously at Chu Baihan's face.

With one word from her, it is very likely that the life and death of the Zhu family will be decided.

His cold eyes swept over the panicked expressions of the crowd, and Chu Baihan's gaze suddenly stopped on Zhu Liqun.

"Did Master Zhu take the initiative to take over all the faults just now? This princess thought that you would push all these faults on Xinyue."

Chu Baihan's casual words made many people uneasy.

Princess, what does this mean?
"Princess, princess, I don't quite understand what you mean." Zhu Liqun hesitated.

"I don't quite understand. Didn't you think that Xinyue was at fault for this matter from the beginning to the end. Even just now, you suspected without hesitation that it was Xinyue who told the princess the secret."

Chu Baihan said with a sneer.

"I, sir..." Zhu Liqun hesitated for a long time, but couldn't explain why.

Because, he only thought so in his heart, and she couldn't refute the eldest princess.

"But, it's really not Xinyue who did it." Chu Baihan said quietly.

what?
Zhu Liqun raised his head sharply, and he looked at Chu Baihan in disbelief.

Could it be that she already knew about this?

"When I sent people to investigate Xie Fei'er's life experience, this princess realized that someone was hiding clues for her. After careful investigation, it will not be difficult to find you."

Chu Baihan explained in a cold voice.

"Then princess, why do you..."

"I've been waiting for you to confess, but you just don't say it. My lord, you let this princess down. When you do something wrong, the first thing you do is not to reflect on yourself, but to shift the responsibility to others."

Chu Baihan looked at Zhu Liqun with extremely cold eyes, which made his scalp tingle.

"Fortunately, Xinyue is not your biological daughter, otherwise she would feel even more uncomfortable." Chu Baihan said indifferently again.

After she said this, Zhu Xinyue, who had been holding back her emotions, couldn't hold back in an instant.

She raised her head and looked at Chu Baihan with red eyes.

Is the eldest princess... venting her anger for her?

I wish Xinyue's lonely heart finally had a little warmth.

"The lower officials are guilty, the lower officials are guilty."

Zhu Liqun kept kowtowing.

"Brother Huang, what do you think we should do with them?"

Chu Baihan turned to ask Nan Li for his opinion.

Nan Li smiled with downcast eyes, "You just need to be the master, I will support you even if the sky falls."

His words made Zhu Yinian, who was not far away, feel bitter in his heart.

The crown prince's care for the eldest princess is completely different from his protection for Yue'er.
