Chapter 392: Pretending to take credit
Chapter 392 Pretending to take credit
At this time in the palace.
Concubine Qi Jingchun was interceding with the emperor about the Li family.
"I shouldn't talk too much, but I happened to have a close relationship with Mrs. Li in the past. I expected that the Li family has a strict family tradition and would never be disrespectful to the emperor. I'm afraid the previous incident was also an accidental misunderstanding."
While pouring tea, she looked at the emperor's face with her peripheral vision.
“No matter what, the emperor should give the little girl from the Li family a chance. I heard that she kept crying out for injustice and asked to see the emperor. Poor child, she is only eight years old.”
The emperor was silent as he held the tea, he was a little distracted.
He was thinking, at this time, the **** should have sent the imperial decree conferring the title to Shen Ningning, right?
The emperor specially asked the **** to take the little guy to the Chinese Academy of Sciences during the time.
Firstly, it can make Shen Ningning look good, and secondly, it can also give An Mo Lingwei's heart.
Ever since Qi Jingchun returned to power, Mo Lingwei has never given the emperor any good looks.
As his son, he knew best that anyone who had bullied Shen Ningning would be classified as an enemy by Mo Lingwei.
Thinking of this, the emperor sighed.
Qi Jingchun’s expression was subtle: “Your Majesty?”
“Oh, what did you say?” The emperor came back to his senses.
Qi Jingchun smiled: "Would you like to meet that little girl named Li Yuyi and see what she wants to say?"
The emperor took a sip of tea, was silent for a long time, and asked: "I have left the Li family to go to Mobei, haven't I set off yet?"
"In five more days, it will be the time for the criminal to set off. If the emperor wants to try him, he can do it before then." Qi Jingchun replied.
The emperor thought for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
The reason for denigrating Li Hai was that the emperor claimed that the Li family was corrupt and had accepted bribes, but the evidence was insufficient.
Because the Li family mainly offended the emperor, they were sent to Mobei.
Many ministers in the court had doubts about this.
"Forget it, let's meet and pass the order. Tomorrow morning after court, Li Hai's daughter will be summoned to the imperial study. I'll see what she has to say." It just so happened that after meeting, I would not treat the emperor as disrespectful again. Therefore, completely demoting their family to Mobei would block the public opinion in the court.
In Concubine Qi's soft eyes, a trace of emotion that was difficult to capture flashed through.
When this matter reached Shen Ningning's ears, Mo Lingwei was taking her for a walk in the imperial garden.
"You don't need to worry. Even if my father sees Li Yuyi, he won't be soft-hearted towards her. It's just to show the ministers." Mo Lingwei said to the little guy.
After thinking about it, he calmly said: "As long as I'm here, I won't let them get away with it."
Shen Ningning came back to her senses and blinked her round, dark eyes: "Brother, I'm not worried that the Li family won't be punished, but I'm thinking about another thing."
“Uncle Zhang Liuye was buried in a sea of fire, and so many farmers and sweet potato vines were burned. This matter has always been a doubt.”
"I'm thinking that maybe the Li family knows something. Since the emperor's uncle wants to be interrogated, we might as well go one step ahead and interrogate the Li family."
Mo Lingwei hesitated slightly: "You want to see Li Yuyi? She is narrow-minded and is afraid that she will hate you so much that she won't tell you the truth."
"I don't see her!" Shen Ningning snorted playfully, looking at the swaying spring scenery in the garden, her pink lips were waxy: "I heard from Chang Yi that Li Yuyi has a concubine, and she never wants to see this brother. I Just meet him, maybe you can ask him something!"
Mo Lingwei was startled, then nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements for you."
“Quietly! Don’t alert the enemy.” She felt that Concubine Qi would not intercede for the Li family for no reason, and she must be using this opportunity to win over the Li family.
So, Shen Ningning didn't want Qi Jingchun to know that she was going to interrogate the second son of the Li family.
As soon as the two of them passed the hanging flower arch, they heard a sharp cat meow, and a black shadow rushed from above their heads, heading towards Shen Ningning!
The sharp claws stretched out in mid-air, drawing a white blade-like light.
Mo Lingwei was the first to react. He pulled Shen Ningning behind him and kicked him with his boot.
“Meow!” Mo Lingwei kicked the cat in the stomach, and it let out a scream.
Shen Ningning grabbed Mo Lingwei's sleeve and opened her eyes wide in shock.
She watched as the black cat, which was bigger than her head, fell to the ground after being kicked, and then immediately got up and ran to the wall through the vines. "Meow." The black cat jumped up and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, it turned back and stared at Shen Ningning, who had a soft and white face, with its cold green eyes.
“It’s not afraid of me!” The little guy was surprised.
Because she usually lives with the Black Wolf King and the others, the other beasts on the mountain will smell her unique scent from a distance.
Some were afraid and hid directly, while others only dared to stop and look from a distance without daring to get close.
The cats in the palace are not afraid of her.
Mo Lingwei frowned and stared at the cat: "This is Concubine Qi's cat, Heili."
Oh
Shen Ningning understood.
This is the legendary palace cat king who caught countless mice.
"It is wild and untamable. It doesn't listen to anyone except Concubine Qi. It has scratched several palace people not long ago. Judging from the way it pounced on you just now, it must have regarded you as an enemy. It's better to be careful. "
After Mo Lingwei finished speaking, he asked someone to drive away the black cat.
The guards took out their scabbards and slapped the wall, and then the huge black cat fled away.
Shen Ningning clapped her heart with her little hand: "Phew, what kind of skill does it have to scare me? Huh, wait and see, next time I will bring a kitten into the palace. If it has the skill, it will bully my cat!"
Mo Ling smiled dangerously, took her little hand, and the two of them walked side by side to the depths of the imperial garden.
On the second day, the sky was overcast.
The emperor summoned Li Yuyi in the imperial study.
Li Yuyi had just been brought up. Facing the majestic emperor, her childlike cry resounded through the hearts of the people.
"Your Majesty is wise, Yu Yi was wronged. What happened that day was clearly misleading by the Xie Mansion. Otherwise, how could he have collided with you?"
The life behind bars these days is in sharp contrast to the days of fine clothes and fine food.
It is as painful as living in the eighteenth level of hell.
Li Yuyi couldn't bear this fate. As soon as she saw the emperor, she couldn't wait to tell her about donating food in Nanzhou.
Trying to make amends and seek forgiveness from the emperor.
“Now that things have come to this, Yu Yi doesn’t want to hide it anymore. Please consider that Yu Yi has anonymously donated food and spare the lives of Yu Yi’s family!”
"Originally, my father and mother taught Yu Yi that you should not take credit for good deeds, but the emperor wants the lives of Yu Yi and the whole family. So what are the good things Yu Yi has done in the past? Won't the emperor make everyone in the world feel cold?"
The emperor had been expressionless at first, listening to her crying words.
However, when Li Yuyi told him about the anonymous donation of food, his face suddenly darkened.
“What did you say? The food you donated anonymously?”
"Yes! Ten warehouses of firewood, six hundred bolts of cotton, and five granaries of rice and flour! Your Majesty can go check it out. Yu Yi didn't lie. He was kind-hearted. He just hopes that Cangyun Country can survive the crisis and God has a good life. Zhi De, Yu Yi should not die in an unknown way!"
The emperor was furious and overturned the tea cup next to him in one fell swoop.
“How presumptuous! I gave you a chance to state your fault, but you are still lying, which shows that you have a bad temper.”
"Do you know that the food was donated by Princess Funing? She wanted to keep a low profile, so she asked me to donate anonymously in the name of a Jiangnan woman. Unexpectedly, it became the reason for you to ask for credit and mercy?"
Li Yuyi was greatly surprised.
The tears that had not yet been squeezed out of his eyes froze on his face with a stunned expression.
“What, what?” How could it be donated by Shen Ningning!
The emperor was furious, gnashing his teeth and sneered: "Did you never expect that only Princess Funing and I know about this matter, and I promised her to keep it secret."
“You are so bold to seek death, and to deceive me, come here!”
He scolded loudly: "Drag this person who is trying to deceive the emperor and send him to Mobei. Get out of the capital immediately. No mistakes!"
Li Yuyi screamed and cried bitterly. When he was dragged away by the imperial army, he shouted all the way: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I don't dare to lie anymore. This is all what Xie Yuanjiu taught me, Your Majesty!"
