Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 949

Looking at Li Fuhua's face, Yun Shang smiled. Everyone knew how to act. Who did not? Thinking of this, she frowned and said, "I also feel that these testimonies are somewhat unreliable. However, since someone has provided these testimonies to me, if I can't investigate them carefully, I'm afraid that we will give grounds for talk. So Lord Li, are you sure that you haven't committed any of these crimes? "

Li Fuhua didn't know what Yun Shang wanted to do, but he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't admit these crimes. He nodded in a hurry and said, "Please help me, your majesty."

Yun Shang nodded, "If Lord Li is really innocent, I will definitely give you justice. Apart from these crimes, there were also some other crimes, such as the first one, which said that Lord Li accepted bribes in private and provided the imperial concubines with prohibited medicine Wushi Powder. The person who provided the testimony also told the place where Lord Li stored the stolen silver and the Wushi Powder. Take Crime 2 for example. It is said that Lord Li and the ladies had an affair in the palace, and this is a heinous crime. That person even told me in detail like who are the ladies that have an affair with Lord Li..."

As Yun Shang spoke, she observed the expression on Li Fuhua's face. He lowered his head and looked around uneasily.

Yun Shang raised her voice and said coldly, "Since Lord Li believes that he didn't do it, it's easy. I'll send someone to investigate the evidence on these confessions. It will be clear whether it's true or not, won't it?'

After saying that, Yun Shang raised her voice, "Guards."

A guard answered in a hurry. Then Yun Shang handed all the testimony in her hand to the guard, "Investigate it."

The guard took it over in a hurry and went out of the prison. Li Fuhua still knelt on the ground. Although it was in the middle of winter, there was sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it. He had to let the sweat flow to his forehead and fall to the ground. But Yun Shang pretended not to see it. She looked up at Qinghao and said, "Go and get me a cup of tea."

Qing Hao responded and walked up the steps to get it.

Yun Shang looked up and said to Li Fuhua casually, "How many years has Lord Li been in the palace?"

Li Fuhua replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty, I have been in the palace for more than forty years."

"More than forty years?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "That's true.You are really an old man in the palace. It's my first time here, but I don't know what kind of crime it is called for such a heinous one. As a eunuch, the punishment should be the most serious."

Hearing this, Li Fuhua's face became a little stiff, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He quickly replied, "To have a private affair with the imperial concubines."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yun Shang paused and looked at Li Fuhua with confusion, "It seems that this is one of the charges of Lord Li just now. I don't know who should hate him so much and frame him with such a charge. It's really... It's really too bad."

Seeing that Li Fuhua didn't say anything, Yun Shang sighed again, "I'm new here, so I'm not familiar with the palace affairs. I didn't pay much attention to it. A few days ago, his majesty ordered me to hold a banquet on the new year's Eve. I was thinking about choosing one between Lord Li and Lord Qi to assist me in managing the imperial household."

After saying that, Yun Shang sighed again and fell silent.

Li Fuhua lowered his head and didn't say anything. Qi Ruihai, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you for your appreciation, your majesty. But I'm still interested in solving this case. However, I'm not familiar with other affairs in the imperial household."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows. Did it mean that he refused? Yun Shang glanced at Qi Ruihai, but smiled and said nothing.

After a while, Qian Zhuo hurried down the steps and said, "Your Majesty, his majesty has returned to the Weiyang Palace. He is looking for you."

"So early?" Yun Shang was a little surprised. She thought for a while and said, "Since his majesty is back, I'll go back to the Weiyang Palace first."

Yun Shang took a look at Li Fuhua and thought for a while. Then she smiled and said, "Let's interrogate him tomorrow. There's no need to rush at this moment. Take Lord Li back first. So I have to ask Lord Li to stay here for another night. Just now, I found that there is not even a good bed of cotton in Lord Li's cell. It's winter now. Prepare a bed of cotton and send it to Lord Li's cell later."

After giving the order, Yun Shang stood up and said to the guards standing aside, "When the guards come back, let them go straight to the Weiyang Palace to report to me." The guard answered in a hurry. Then Yun Shang turned around and walked slowly up the steps. After leaving the Neishi Bureau, she got on the carriage and headed for the Weiyang Palace.

Located on the west side of the inner palace, the Neishi Bureau was quite far away, so they almost needed to pass through half of the imperial household to get to the Weiyang Palace. Yun Shang looked around and asked in a low voice, "Has his majesty really come back?"

With a smile, Qian Zhuo replied, "Maybe after his majesty came back, he couldn't see you, so his majesty went back to the Taiji Palace again."

Hearing this, Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, "You are a liar."

Qian Zhuo laughed more happily. She hurriedly said, "Your majesty, you are wrong. Don't you think that I went in at the right time?"

Hearing Qian Zhuo's explanation, Yun Shang laughed, "Yes, it's the right time."
