NovelEnglishMy Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!
Chapter 1475: You're Speaking Nonsense!"Your Majesty, we have found a large storeroom under Manager Hu's room. There are a lot of foodstuffs and supplies hidden inside, as well as a large amount of mystic currency and magnetite."
Queen Zhao's expression instantly turned unsightly, and her sharp eyes pierced that Manager Hu as she remarked, "Very good! All these years, these spiritual bamboo shoots have become your means of accumulating wealth!"
Manager Hu was unable to withstand the pressure and knelt down at once. He kowtowed with a pale face, shouting, "Spare this humble one's life, Your Majesty. Spare this humble one's life!"
"You wicked servant actually have the nerve to have this queen spare your life?" Queen Zhao was so furious that she let out a laugh instead. "What are you all waiting for? Drag him away to behead him!!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis wicked servant didn't present spiritual bamboo shoots to the king and rather kept watch over this place to become a mountain king.
Good, good, good. It really was extremely good!
Queen Zhao's eyes emitted a cold light, and with a wave of her hand, two royal guards immediately stepped up to drag away the wailing Manager Hu.
"No, you cannot kill me! Your Majesty the Queen!" Manager Hu really was grasping desperately at straws now, and in his panic, he blurted out, "This old servant was, was sent over here by Her Highness Consort Dowager Shu. You cannot kill me! You cannot kill me."
Consort Cheng's expression changed, and she immediately looked toward her daughter-in-law, Shu Quan.
Shu Quan's expression also shifted before she quickly reprimanded, "You are spouting nonsense. How can you, this wicked servant, have been sent over by Her Highness the Consort Dowager?"
"You are obviously trying to use Her Highness the Consort Dowager's name to deceive Her Majesty the Queen!"
"No, that is not so!" That Manager Hu struggled with all his might and yelled with a pale face, "I confess, I confess, I will confess everything! Your Majesty the Queen, how can this servant, a lowly manager, dare to embezzle spiritual bamboo shoots and sell them off if there was no one from above me directing me to!"
"Besides, I would need a channel through which to sell off these precious spiritual bamboo shoots in order to successfully exchange them for the supplies I need, correct?"
Queen Zhao remained silent for several seconds before waving her hand to have the royal guards drag that manager back again. She looked at him coldly and said, "You are correct. I do not think you have the guts to embezzle them. Tell me who is above you and directing you to do this."
Shu Quan's eyelid jerked, and she forcefully smothered her flustered emotions. She shouted icily with a haughty manner, "Wicked servant, you're still claiming random connections even when faced with imminent death!"
"Eldest Prince Consort, do not butt in right now." Queen Zhao swept her a cold look as a name had already surfaced in her heart.
"It was the eldest prince, it was all under the eldest prince's directions!" Manager Hu spilled the beans and confessed everything. He continued to say in a single breath, "In the past, the eldest prince had even instructed this servant to present Her Majesty the Queen Dowager and His Majesty the King with a fifth of the spiritual bamboo shoots."
"But for some reason this year, the eldest prince suddenly ran over to this servant and said that he was short of money. Because of that, he had this servant detain all the spiritual bamboo shoots and not send even a single one to the palace!"
"You're spouting nonsense!!" Her Highness Consort Cheng shrieked loudly before Eldest Prince Consort Shu Quan could say anything,
While pointing at the kneeling Manager Hu, her body trembled back and forth in anger. "You, you! You d*mned despicable servant. Someone, someone come!! Drag away this despicable servant for me!"
"Consort Cheng, why are you so impatient. Things have yet to be explained clearly, yet you are so eager to have this servant die? Is it because you are feeling guilty?"
