Chapter 144 Jiang Ci'an is definitely not someone they can easily underestimate!
what?
Everyone was shocked, no one expected...
Would Her Royal Highness the Princess actually punish General Lu by forcing him to admit his mistake to them?
This is a blatant humiliation for General Lu, who has always been arrogant!
But when I think about it carefully, what Her Royal Highness the Princess said is indeed correct.
If General Lu could have come earlier, Cai Cai wouldn't have been so angry that she would have taken action against Zhu Jiuxing!
Naturally, the prince consort would not be involved...
But Lu Mingchao was very dissatisfied with the punishment given by Shen Changle.
He looked up at her in disbelief, his eyes full of indignation.
He is a general!
How could a general admit his mistakes to his subordinates?
How can he lead troops in the future?
Seeing that he dared to glare at her, Shen Changle raised her chin slightly and her voice became serious.
"General Lu, are you dissatisfied?"
"The general will not dare."
How dare Lu Mingchao challenge the imperial power in front of so many people?
only……
He still couldn't let go of his dignity as a commander.
Then he clasped his fists and asked for permission.
"I have disturbed Her Royal Highness, the Princess. I accept the punishment and would like to request twenty blows of the military stick to enforce military law."
Oh, that's what I said.
It seemed as if he was punished just because she was disturbed.
"General Lu, do you want the people of the world to accuse me of being domineering?
You must understand that the reason I punished you to apologize to everyone is because you, as the commander-in-chief, neglected your duties and failed to control your subordinates!
The guard camp was so noisy in the middle of the night that it disturbed everyone's rest, and it wasn't just because I was frightened."
She looked down at Lu Mingchao who was kneeling on the ground, her eyes filled with an oppressive look that brooked no refusal.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingchao clenched his fists and finally had nothing to say. He could only grit his teeth and nod in agreement.
"Yes... General, I obey your command."
He then turned around and faced the guards who were also kneeling on the ground, with his upper body kneeling straight.
He apologized with a red face, each word was difficult to say.
"I failed in my duty. I apologize to you all..."
He only nodded slightly, but the guards trembled and fell to the ground, shouting:
"I am terrified!"
Seeing Lu Mingchao's face flushed and his facial muscles twitching from trying so hard to endure it, Shen Changle chuckled with satisfaction.
He turned his head and looked at the person who caused the dispute - Cai Cai as the guards called her.
He was seen kneeling beside Zhu Jiuxing, his forehead pressed against the ground, as if he wanted to crawl into the ground and escape.
Unfortunately, he could not escape Shen Changle's sight.
"I heard that this incident was all caused by you?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Cai raised her head in fear, but did not dare to look her in the face.
"Your Highness, please understand. I... I..."
He stammered and was so nervous that he couldn't form a complete sentence.
Seeing this, Shen Changle snorted and laughed, and asked:
"how?"
He stole a glance at Lu Mingchao, whose face was ashen.
Seeing that he was unable to take care of himself, I knew I couldn't count on him.
Gritting his teeth and making up his mind, he spoke with a stiff upper lip:
"I have been a light sleeper since I was young. Zhu Jiuxing's snoring was so loud at night that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I woke him up!
But I didn't expect that he would hit me violently after a disagreement..."
"You fart..."
Zhu Jiuxing was so angry that he was fuming and even wanted to kick him, but was stopped by Jiang Ci'an in a stern voice.
"Laojiu!"
He winked at him.
Signaled him not to be impulsive and to listen to Changle finish what he said.
Although Zhu Jiuxing was angry and depressed, he was still obedient.
He snorted, turned his head away, and stopped moving.
Waiting for Shen Changle's decision.
Seeing that Cai Cai's eyes were still rolling around and she was covering her mouth, Shen Changle sneered:
"Is that so? But I heard that you were the first to attack?"
When the man saw his lie was exposed, he fell to his knees in panic, shaking like a sieve.
"I argued with him, but he just cursed me. I was so angry that I..."
"So that means you admit that you were the first to do it?"
He had nothing more to say and could only nod in agreement.
"Just admit it. I remember... you're the guard recruited from Guangping City, right?"
"Yes……"
He was so scared that his face turned pale and his eyes turned red.
Shen Changle showed no mercy and turned around.
"I don't understand why the prefect of Guangping City would summon a delicate young man like you into the government office.
I would never dare to employ someone like you who can't even stand your companion's snoring!
Pack your bags and go back to Guangping! The capital is dangerous and not suitable for you."
When the man saw that she was about to drive him away, he quickly begged for mercy:
"Your Highness... Your Highness, please listen to my explanation. This is not the case... General! General Lu..."
Seeing that he was about to implicate him, Lu Mingchao hurriedly ordered his mouth to be blocked.
"What are you waiting for? If you don't obey the princess's order, throw him out!"
"General, General, please help..."
Before he could finish his words, he was covered with his mouth by two people on his left and right and dragged out.
Zhu Jiuxing, who was standing next to Cai Cai, saw this scene and cursed with a smug smile:
"Deserve it!"
He glanced at Lu Mingchao again, shook his head deliberately and shouted at him:
"He wanted to ask General Lu for help, but he didn't know... General Lu is also a clay Buddha crossing the river, he can't save himself!"
This made Lu Mingchao look over fiercely, with fire burning in his eyes.
Seeing the strong hatred in his eyes and fearing that he would retaliate against Zhu Jiuxing, Shen Changle rarely acted like a princess towards Zhu Jiuxing.
Calling him:
"Congratulations, Jiuxing."
Zhu Jiuxing also knelt down on one knee tactfully, clasped his fists and obeyed the order.
"The grass people are here."
"You caused trouble in the middle of the night and fought with others. I cannot show favoritism and indulgence just because you are the brother of the prince consort."
Hearing her distant tone, Zhu Jiuxing stole a glance at her.
I thought she was really angry, so my attitude became serious.
Nodding his head obediently to admit his mistake.
"The common people know their mistakes."
"Since you admit your mistake, I will punish you... by confining you for three days before the troops enter the capital."
Zhu Jiuxing will know as soon as he hears it...
Shen Changle is protecting him from Lu Mingchao's revenge!
He suddenly raised his head, grinned, and kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Yes, I accept the punishment."
Shen Changle looked at his mischievous appearance and curled his lips slightly.
He then looked around at the guards kneeling before him and warned:
"Besides, I just heard someone discussing the Prince Consort's background!
Considering this is your first offense, I will not punish you this time, but I want you to remember—
A hero is a hero no matter where he comes from! No matter what Jiang Ci'an was like in the past, he is now my consort and a member of the royal family of Da Qi!
If anyone dares to make such comments again, they will be punished for disrespecting the royal family!"
Everyone was frightened and looked at each other secretly with guilt.
She reprimanded and punished everyone present, but only protected Jiang Ci'an.
They both understood in their hearts that Her Royal Highness the Princess really valued this Prince Consort!
Although for some reason, their marriage has never been announced to the world...
But Jiang Ci'an is definitely not someone they can easily underestimate!
They all bowed their heads in fear and responded in unison:
"I will follow the instructions of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
