After rebirth, the prince fell into the hands of the princess again

Tang Mumu lifted the account book and scroll from above his head and said in a neither humble nor arrogant voice, "This is a detailed record of the amount of corruption and military equipment sold by the Duke of Anguo's Mansion in recent years. The scroll records the crimes committed by the Duke of Anguo's Mansion in recent years to help Prince Shun succeed. I hope your Majesty will take a look."

Emperor An lowered his eyes and signaled his attendant to come forward and fetch the account books and scrolls. The attendant quickly walked to Tang Mumu's side, took the account books and scrolls and handed them to Emperor An.

After a while, the hall was filled with the sound of discussions. Tang Mumu looked up and met the gaze of Duke Anguo. The other party looked at her as if he wanted to execute her on the spot. Tang Mumu was not afraid at all, and the corners of her lips curled up.

If you do evil things, you will get retribution.

Emperor An slowly flipped through the account books, his expression becoming more and more solemn. He was not unaware of the little tricks that the Duke of Anguo's Mansion had been doing behind the scenes over the years, but he had just turned a blind eye. But now that the account books and volumes were placed in front of him, he realized that what he knew was just the tip of the iceberg.

Duke Anguo closed his eyes, his face was ashen, beads of sweat dripped down his old face, he wanted to open his mouth to defend himself but could not utter a word.

With a bang, the account books and scrolls were smashed heavily on the head of Duke Anguo by Emperor An, and then the emperor shouted angrily: "Duke Anguo, do you have anything else to say?"

The Duke of Anguo's legs went weak and he immediately knelt down. Seeing this, several younger people in the Duke's Mansion also knelt down quickly.

"I know I am wrong. I am the only one who committed all the evil deeds. The rest of the people in the Duke's Mansion were unaware of it. Prince Shun was still young and was deceived by me. I am willing to die for this, but please forgive the innocent people."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duke Anguo seemed to have aged many years. He lay on the ground, trembling, waiting for the emperor's decision.

"Someone come here." Emperor An shouted, and instantly several guards rushed into the hall, waiting for Emperor An to speak.

"Duke Anguo disregarded the laws of the country, deceived his superiors and subordinates, was disloyal and unjust, and his crimes are extremely serious. He will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison. All members of the Duke's Mansion will be under house arrest from today onwards, awaiting your fate."

Until the Duke of Anguo was carried out of the hall by the guards, he never cried out for mercy. Everyone in the hall was terrified. Some of the timid ones began to tremble with fear, especially the officials who were usually close to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. At this moment, they wished they had no ties with the Mansion anymore.

Everyone knows that the most favored minister in the court is Duke Anguo, the most favored person in the harem is Duke Anguo's sister, Imperial Noble Consort, and the emperor's most favored prince in the harem is Imperial Noble Consort's son, Prince Shun. Now, they can be convicted because of an account book and a scroll. It seems that the wind direction of the court has long changed.

Emperor An looked at Tang Mumu, who was still kneeling upright in the hall, and asked in a deep voice, "Does Princess Rong have anything else to say?"

"Your Highness has something else to say." Tang Mumu folded his hands and maintained the posture of greeting. "Your Highness has found out the truth about the madness of the palace guard Fan Yan at the autumn hunting meeting. He was tricked into taking a pill called Yin Sui San from the ghost market. People who take this pill lose all rationality and become bloodthirsty. Fan Yan has never dared to hurt your father. He is innocent, and Prince Rong is even more innocent. I beg your Highness to clear Fan Yan's name and clear His Highness' name. Your Highness, your Highness, is grateful to you."

Tang Mumu kowtowed heavily, and his already red and swollen forehead seemed to be even worse. Song Jinyu turned his head away reluctantly, and just as he was about to step out of the line, he received Tang Mumu's gaze and then stood back again.

Tang Mumu's goal is to make Emperor An stop pursuing Rong Yan's responsibility. If what she said can be used, Song Jinyu and others, including Senior Ghost King, will not have to show up, which can be regarded as protection for them.

Emperor An stared at Tang Mumu, with one hand clenched into a fist in his sleeve, and the other hand rhythmically and slowly tapping the armrest of the dragon throne beside him. After a while, he suddenly raised his lips.

"I thought that Prince Rong and his wife were one and the same, and that they had discussed everything beforehand. It seems that this is not the case. Princess Rong's action is righteous, and the fact that you two are so loving is a great blessing for the royal family."

"But the drum for reporting has already sounded, and even if I am biased, I cannot break the rules. Come, take Princess Rong to the outside of Xuanzheng Hall, and return her to Prince Rong after thirty beatings with the cane."

Emperor An looked at the attendant serving beside him, who immediately shouted "Dismiss the court". Even though there were many officials who wanted to watch the fun, as it concerned the royal family, they did not dare to get involved too much and quickly bowed and left the court.

There were only a few people left in the hall. Emperor An glanced at everyone present and it was expected that they would stay.

The attendant helped the emperor walk slowly to Tang Mumu. The latter met Emperor An's eyes and saw the smile in his eyes. She frowned and lowered her head to hide the disgust in her eyes. If possible, she would like to stab him at this moment.

"I thought you were more important than anything else in Ayan's heart, but now it seems that I was wrong. However, you even dared to beat the drum for Ayan, which is very good. I am very relieved. It seems that Ayan did not make a mistake in choosing you. The princess is really willing to do anything for him."

Upon hearing this, Tang Mumu frowned, not understanding what Emperor An meant.

"The imperial edict will be sent to the Rong Palace today. I will do what I promised Ayan. If you can survive after thirty beatings with sticks, I will be willing to give you the position of Crown Princess."

As soon as Emperor An finished speaking, everyone present looked at him in astonishment. Tang Mumu's eyes flickered slightly, and he tried his best to restrain himself from thinking too much.

Emperor An was very satisfied with her reaction and walked away. Soon someone came in to take her away. Tang Mumu was also very obedient and rang the drum to report to the emperor. Even if she couldn't survive the thirty beatings with sticks, she deserved it.

Song Jinyu subconsciously wanted to stop her, but when he saw Tang Mumu shaking her head at him, he paused and soon heard her say, "It would be best if this matter does not involve others. Please help me send Senior Su back."

After all, the person in front of them was the prince's princess, and the guards did not dare to take direct action. After Tang Mumu finished speaking, she turned around and cooperated with them to leave.

"What are you going to do?" Song Jinyu was stopped by Rong Lou as soon as he turned around, and he looked at him warningly.

"I went to Wushengtang, but I couldn't let her get beaten to death. I couldn't help at all, and I would feel bad about it."

"The Imperial Guards won't listen to you. If you force your way in, you'll only get yourself into trouble."

"If I really risk my life, I can still bring A Yan out. Now I can't care so much anymore. The little princess can't just die like this. At least A Yan needs to know what the little princess has done for him."

Song Jinyu pulled back his arm, spun on his toes, and left using Qinggong. Rong Lou frowned fiercely, turned his head and said to Prince Chen: "I will go with him. Princess Rong is in your hands here. You must save your life."

Without waiting for Rong Su to answer, the man flew away. Prince Chen, who had been silent from the beginning, had a gloomy face. Thinking of Tang Qingzhi, he gritted his teeth and ran out quickly, heading straight for the Xuan Zheng Hall.

The execution site was outside the Xuan Zheng Hall. Tang Mumu knelt in the heavy snow, and the silver-white fox fur on his body blended into the same color as the sky and the earth.

Turning his head and glancing at the barbs on the cane, even though he was prepared, Tang Mumu couldn't help but gasp. It was not said at the beginning that the cane used for execution would look like this.

It seems that what Rong Yan had suffered in the past were not really beatings with a stick, but at most just a few hits with a board.

After being beaten with the stick thirty times, there would probably be no good meat left on her back.
