Li Chengze didn't care whether Li Liangdi died or not, let alone Ding Huilan's life or death, but he couldn't die in the East Palace. It would only affect his reputation in a small way, but it would be a big deal if those brothers found a reason to attack him.

Huilan held Li Liangdi down with her knife, "I said, I want an explanation. Hongling must pay me back, and Li Liangdi must accept the punishment."

Li Chengze looked at her with a cold and serious expression, "If Gu doesn't want to do it, a little Liang Yuan dares to threaten Gu, who will give you the courage?"

"Master, save me, wuwuwu!"

Li Liangdi looked at Li Chengze with tears streaming down her face and begged for mercy.

Huilan raised her lips and smiled softly, "I'm not even afraid of death. Why not? I also know that Li Liangdi and I died at the same time. It will be more troublesome for you, Prince. Your reputation is a small matter. Will anyone use this matter to make a fuss?

Well, the crown prince holds a high position and has many pairs of eyes staring at you. When the time comes..."

She tilted her head and showed an innocent and lovely smile. The original owner was really good-looking. It was not a gorgeous and eye-catching beauty, but good eyesight. She had a friendly and fresh beauty that the general public liked very much.

, coupled with my young age, cheerful and well-behaved personality, very lovable.

Li Chengze looked at this face and smiled sweetly and innocently, but every word hit the mark with incomparable precision. He was simply the best hunter.

"Li Liangdi was punished with a salary for half a year, closed her door to think about her faults, copied the precepts of women's virtues a hundred times, and opened her mouth fifty times.

Hong Ling, Chang Ji led people to search and find out the banknotes."

Li Chengze believed in the evidence and of course knew that Ding Liangyuan did not lie.

Chang Ji immediately sent a young eunuch to search Hongling's house, but Hongling fell limply to the ground, unable to move.

Without even using a cup of tea, the little eunuch took out a stack of small banknotes.

"Back to the prince, I do have banknotes, less than a thousand taels, and a total of more than 900 taels."

In other words, Hongling only gave less than fifty taels to the people below, and swallowed the rest herself.

The palace maid next to her looked at her with evil intentions. Because Huilan was not favored and was bullied by the palace people, she would give Yu Qing some money every time she delivered food, and she spent some money.

Li Chengze looked extremely ugly and looked at Hong Ling coldly. Huilan raised her head and said, "Hong Ling is guilty and will be slapped with a slap in the face and then sent to the Sentence Department. As for Li Liangdi, she can be punished now."

Huilan pushed her to the ground and staggered a bit. She was really not in good health and was still very weak, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a mess.

"Ah! The prince doesn't want it, I don't...you believe me."

Li Liangdi was frightened. She had never seen such a scary woman in her whole life. Especially when she heard Li Chengze punished her, she was even more frightened.

"Execution."

Li Chengze nodded without saying a word. Since he agreed, he would not regret it. Besides, he also wanted to take the opportunity to teach the arrogant and domineering Li Liangdi a lesson and give the Li family a beating.

This Ding Liangyuan gave him a good excuse and reason.

After receiving the order, Chang Ji and the two young eunuchs immediately rushed forward and pinned down Li Liangdi and his servant.

"No, please spare me, it's not me..."

Li Liangdi struggled desperately with her hands and feet and cried.

The young eunuch dragged Hongling outside to hit the board. Hongling was so frightened that she started struggling violently and cried for mercy.

"Miss, save me. You asked me to do this. Miss, save me. Please spare my life. Please spare your life, Prince. I don't dare to do it anymore."

Hong Ling didn't care, she just wanted to save her life. How could she care about her master?

Li Liangdi's face immediately turned pale. Chang Ji asked a young eunuch to catch her, took the imperial board himself, and began the execution.

You don't open your mouth with your hands, but with a royal board. When you hit someone, the cracking sound is very painful, but your face will not be disfigured. It is specially used to deal with the concubines and maids who make mistakes in the harem.

With the sound of snapping, Li Liangdi was beaten so hard that she had no chance to beg for mercy or even call for help. Her face was swollen almost instantly.

The sound of chopping boards also sounded in the yard outside. Ding Xiang lowered her head and suppressed a smile. She could finally let out a sigh of relief. She deserved it!

Huilan took the banknote handed over by the young eunuch and said flatly, "One hundred taels are missing."

"I will pay you a thousand taels."

Li Chengze rubbed his brows helplessly.

"Then thank you very much, Prince. You have to make up for it yourself. The last thing you need is to hire an imperial physician for me. I don't want to die yet. Eunuch Chang, please go and hire one yourself. It's best for you to go."

If Huilan dares to do something, she will be able to end it, so that the prince will not blame her for being too cruel and leaving a way out for the future.

Li Chengze couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. This cover was such a clever idea.

Punishing this pair of masters and servants will not only not affect his reputation, but will make him appear just and even please his father. He is not partial to the Li family. He has no selfish motives and does not do anything with the Li family.

Changji is his, and everyone in the palace knows that leaving the East Palace represents his face. Going to invite people in person also shows that he cares about and cares about him. What's more, he can rely on his filial piety to the imperial grandmother.

"My slave obeys your orders."

Chang Ji reacted so quickly. He came back immediately and agreed without waiting for the prince to respond. This Ding Liangyuan should not be underestimated.

"Go to Qinghui Garden."

Li Chengze pulled Ding Huilan and strode out, not caring that she couldn't keep up with the drag and staggering behind him.

"Lilac, please clean up all our things and don't leave any of them behind."

"knew."

Ding Xiang responded and hurried back to the house to clean up her belongings.

Huilan was dragged by Li Chengze all the way to Qinghui Garden. Many eunuchs and maids on the road looked at them with dumbfounded eyes.

"Prince, please slow down, please wait for me."

When Huilan saw the person, she immediately cheered up and ran a few steps quickly. She grabbed Li Chengze's arm tightly and jumped up using the height difference. Her whole body was hanging on his arm like a koala, with her legs still hooked.

His waist was almost half dragged and half carried.

The palace maids and eunuchs were all whispering behind them. Huilan raised the corners of her mouth proudly, and looked up just in time to fall into a pair of deep and dark starry eyes, which were filled with forbearing storm and impatience.

Huilan looked around and saw that she had arrived at Qinghui Garden. She licked her face and smiled. She let go of him awkwardly and jumped off him. She saw her small footprints on Yuebai's robe and stretched out her hand in embarrassment.

Dusted off.

"Thank you to the prince for enforcing the law impartially. Huilan is convinced. I am grateful to the prince for showing mercy to the weak."

There is only gratitude and no repayment of gratitude.

Li Chengze glared at her fiercely, pursed his lips to suppress his anger, and looked down at his dirty robe.

"Go get some clothes."

After saying that, he turned around and entered the house.

Qinghui Garden is not big, and it is not as big as the Yilan Palace. It is just a large courtyard with four or five rooms. There is no garden, but there are acacia trees planted in the courtyard, and the trees are lush and green.

It actually makes people happy.

Huilan did not enter the house, but looked around in the yard and made comments from time to time.

"This yard is really nice. It's not a big place but everything is elegant and exquisite. The flowers here can also be used as medicine. It's really suitable for me. Thank you, Prince. I like it very much."

I deliberately shouted loudly into the room.
