Chapter 819: The Crown Princess Shocks the Concubines in the Palace
Let’s not talk about the panic in the Hu Mansion for now. At this time in the East Palace, Hu Xinyue was looking at the concubines in front of her with a cold face, and her beautiful eyebrows were almost raised.

"how?"

"The Crown Prince and I have only been away for a few days, and you have forgotten the rules?"

"Who gave you the courage to add people to the workshop without my consent?"

At this moment, the concubines did not look the most dignified and graceful like the concubines of the Eastern Palace. They were like quails standing in front of Hu Xinyue, with their heads lowered, looking so obedient.

But Hu Xinyue didn't care about that and just waved her hand.

"Don't think about hiding this. If you don't give me an explanation, not only will you be punished, but your family behind you will also have a hard time."

"I think it's not just you who are brave, your mother's family is also braver than the sky."

"Humph, even though I am trusted by your majesty, the queen, and the prince to manage all the properties in the palace, the people I have arranged are all eunuchs and maids in the palace."

"You guys really treat the Eastern Palace as your own home, and you just push your mother's family into the palace as soon as they say hello!"

"I'm telling you straight out, the eunuchs who were persuaded by your words to hire the people you arranged have now been beaten with thirty boards and are now waiting obediently for demotion!"

"This is just because it's their first offense. If they do it again, I will beat them to death!"

As soon as Hu Xinyue said this, not only the concubines, but even the eunuchs and palace maids standing by couldn't help but tremble.

These eunuchs had never expected that the Crown Princess, who seemed to be amiable and well-behaved on weekdays, would suddenly act so cruelly.

Who is not afraid?
You know, even though there are always people saying he should be beaten to death.

But such things are extremely rare after all.

And beating with a stick, thirty times at that, is a very severe punishment.

If you are not careful, you will have to stay in bed for at least ten days or half a month before you can get out of bed.

Even if the beating was slightly off, the person would be broken and half paralyzed, waiting to die.

That's it, who wouldn't be scared?
The concubine, who had already lowered her head, looked even uglier.

"Why, you still have nothing to say?"

"Do you really think that I am joking when I say I will punish you and your family?"

After these words were spoken, several concubines finally couldn't help it.

Especially Lu, who was standing at the front, she knew very well in her heart that as the person in charge of this matter, she would be exposed sooner or later.

In the past, this matter would be nothing more than house arrest or something like that, but unexpectedly, this time Hu Xinyue was so unsportsmanlike that she even implicated her own family.

Now they couldn't help it.

Although it is said that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled, what is the reality?

Is Hu Xinyue the only one who likes to go back to her parents' home, and is she the only one who has deep feelings for her parents' home?
fart!
Even a fool knows how good it is to have a good family supporting you from behind. Don’t they know that?
Otherwise, why would they need to recruit people from their mother's family?
To put it bluntly, apart from the idea of ​​sabotaging Hu Xinyue, isn't he more thinking about promoting family members?
As a result, he ended up losing the rice instead of the chicken.

As the "main culprit", the Lu family has no choice but to be anxious!
But she still wanted to struggle.

"Your Highness, we are just kind-hearted and want to ask the talented people in our family to help the royal family. Why are you so harsh on us?"

"Although I made some mistakes in terms of rules, I had good intentions after all."

"Your Highness, please consider that these are first-time offenders and give us a light punishment, okay?"

As soon as Mrs. Lu said this, the other concubines beside her naturally rushed to speak up and complain together.

But Hu Xinyue, who was sitting at the head of the table, just looked at them coldly, and said nothing no matter what they said. Slowly, everyone stopped and looked at Hu Xinyue tremblingly.

Hu Xinyue twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and looked straight at Lu who was standing in the front.

"Ms. Lu, if you were facing the former Crown Princess Chang, perhaps these little tricks of yours would be of some use."

"After all, Sister Chang is from a noble family and is not familiar with these methods, so it's okay for her to be deceived by you."

"But have you forgotten that I am from the Hu family?"

"I not only know all the methods your family taught you, but I am even more proficient in them than you are?"

"After all, your father, Lü Ben, only got a fifth-rank official position because of his favor."

"And my uncle was once the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Do you think that my tutor would be lacking these things from you?"

After hearing this, Lu was completely stunned.

She never expected that Hu Xinyue would say such a thing.

But it was these words that made her scalp tingle and even made her feel cold to the bone.

Hu Xinyue turned her head and looked at the others and said, "Do you think I'm going to play some tricks on you like not punishing everyone by law?"

"Then you are totally wrong."

"I was born in the Hu family, and now I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family. What a pity! The elders of both families are cruel and ruthless."

"Think about my uncle's past tactics in the officialdom, and think about the power of my father's sweeping across the country. Why do you think I will let you guys off the hook?"

"I'm telling you clearly, rules are rules, and they are there for you to follow!"

"I don't care whether you want to help the clan members or to gain benefits for yourself. If you had told me directly earlier and let the clan members pass my assessment, they would have been able to come in openly."

"But what about you idiots?"

"But he foolishly used his status to privately greet people and get them in!"

"Do you think that I will pretend nothing happened after I notice it?"

Everyone was silent.

Looking back now, they suddenly feel that they were really stupid.

It was originally just a matter of asking for a favor, but it ended up being a private grant, which has become a serious crime now.

Isn't this clearly a scam?

If it was as the Crown Princess said, if I had begged for mercy before, even if I couldn't get into those royal properties, I would have at least been given some face and made some arrangements, right?
The results of it?
For a moment, the eyes of all the concubines unconsciously fell on Lu who was standing in front.

At this moment, Lu felt his back was getting hot.

Hu Xinyue's lips curled up slightly and she said in a deep voice.

"The principal offender will bear 50% of the responsibility, and the rest of the people will bear 50% of the responsibility. This is my arrangement for you."

"But if you insist on being stubborn, then fine, you will share the blame among yourselves."

"When the time comes, don't blame me for being too ruthless!"

"After all, you are stubborn and don't want to confess, so your attitude can't be considered as admitting guilt, so how can you talk about forgiveness?" (End of this chapter)
