When they arrived at the Tai Chi Hall, Yun Shang was in vain. Liu Wen'an and Luo Qingyan were not there. The chamberlain guarding the door saw Yun Shang and saluted quickly: "Greetings to the Queen. Did the Queen come to see Your Majesty? Just now.
The palace officials from the Taihe Palace came, so His Majesty took Mr. Liu to the direction of the Taihe Palace."
Yun Shang narrowed her eyes slightly, Taihe Palace? But Xia Huanyu has something to discuss with Luo Qingyan?
Yun Shang secretly guessed in her heart, but still smiled lightly on her face: "Oh? It's not a coincidence that I came here. I came to deliver ginger soup to His Majesty. In this case, let Your Majesty go back to Weiyang
The same goes for Gonghe."
After Yun Shang finished speaking, she turned around and said to Qian Zui: "Let's go back."
Qian Zui responded, followed Yun Chang, turned around and walked towards Weiyang Palace along the way he came. But Yun Chang kept thinking in his heart, if Xia Huanyu came to Luo Qingyan, it would only be for a few things.
The first thing is to ask Luo Qingyan to choose a concubine, the second thing is about Xia Houjing, and the third thing is probably about the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
However, no matter whether it is any of these three things, it is not a good thing.
Yun Shang frowned and gathered up the cloak she was wearing, letting the cold wind flow into the clothes.
Returning to Weiyang Palace, Shen Ke and Qing Hao were still standing at the entrance of the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and they quickly saluted Yun Shang.
Yun Shang returned to the inner hall and asked Qian Zui to take the ginger soup to the small kitchen to heat it up. Then he took a book and read it, but his face never relaxed. When he saw Qin Yi coming in from the outside, Yun Shang raised his head and left.
After arriving at the table, he picked up a pen and wrote a line of words on the paper, and handed it to Qinyi to read. After reading it, Qinyi nodded, threw the paper into the brazier nearby, and then walked out.
Yun Shang watched the fire in the brazier suddenly burst into flames, burning up the paper, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Empress." Shen Ke's voice came from outside. Yun Shangfang walked to a chair and sat down. Then she brought a book and said loudly: "Come in."
Shen Ke opened the bead curtain and walked in from the outside. He hurriedly saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the guards from our palace have just arrived. They said that the palace officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have finished interrogating them and they have a lot of news for your Majesty."
Report."
Yun Shang noticed that Shen Ke was looking at the brazier at Yun Shang's feet with a vague look, so she frowned, nodded and said: "Okay, you go out first, I will be back soon."
Shen Ke responded and slowly retreated. Yun Shang looked at the brazier at his feet. There were ashes from burning paper in it. The ashes had not yet completely dispersed, and he could tell at a glance that it was a piece of paper.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked around, then took out a plum blossom from the vase on the side, stirred the paper ashes in the brazier until no trace could be seen at all, and then took the plum blossom again.
I picked up the plum blossom and was about to insert it into the vase, but I saw that the bottom of the plum blossom had traces of being soaked in water. It was dark, as if someone had painted it with ink.
Yun Shang's gaze paused, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
There were footsteps outside, and Yun Shang quickly put the plum blossoms back into the vase, then turned and walked out.
A man wearing a guard uniform stood in the main hall. Yun Shang walked to a chair and sat down, then asked: "Stop saluting, tell me, what did you ask?"
The guard responded quickly, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Yun Shang: "These are the testimonies signed and stamped by the palace officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Please see the Queen."
Yun Shang stretched out her hand to take it, and looked at it one by one. The corners of her mouth gradually turned up, and the coldness in her eyes became stronger and stronger: "It's hard to tell, Li Fuhua looked so honest and sweet.
A man who has done so many unforgivable things secretly. I would like to see how he can defend himself against so many witnesses? Come on, let's go to the inner chamber supervisor."
Yun Shang stood up, but then remembered that Qin Yi and Qian Zui had been sent to do other things. After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes to Shen Ke and Qing Hao and said, "You two accompany me for a walk."
Suffer it."
Qinghao is hers, so there is no need to worry. Although Shen Ke is the person sent by Xia Huanyu to keep an eye on her, he is superior in martial arts. And although Xia Huanyu hopes Luo Qingyan can choose a concubine, he will not treat her badly.
Not good. She is at least a little more relieved about Shen Ke than the other people in Weiyang Palace.
Shen Ke and Qing Hao responded quickly and followed Yun Shang, following the guard towards the inner chamberlain.
The Internal Affairs Supervisor was a little far away from Weiyang Palace, so Qing Hao arranged for a walk. Yun Shang got on the bus and walked for about half an hour before arriving at the door of the Internal Affairs Supervisor. Qi Ruihai seemed to have received the news a long time ago and had already stood up to serve as the Internal Affairs Supervisor.
Someone was waiting at the door: "I pay my respects to the Queen."
Yun Shang smiled and said: "Eunuch Qi, there is no need to be polite. Since Eunuch Qi is here, you might as well go with me to talk to Eunuch Li. I heard that Eunuch Qi and Eunuch Li are not on bad terms.
"
When Qi Ruihai heard this, his expression moved slightly, but he did not defend himself. He only responded softly: "Yes."
Yun Shang was a little surprised, and she also looked at Qi Ruihai with admiration. If Li Fuhua was in such a situation now, it would be too late for anyone else to draw a clear line with him. But Qi Ruihai did not defend himself.
His attitude seems to be acquiescing to Yun Shang's words.
Yun Shang curled her lips, nodded and said, "This is Eunuch Qi's territory, so I'll ask Eunuch Qi to lead the way for me."
Qi Ruihai responded, walked to the front, took two steps, turned around and bent down and said: "Queen, please come in."
This is not the first time that Yun Shang has come to the inner chamber. The last time Qianzuo was imprisoned in the inner chamber and escaped from prison, Yun Shang came here on the second day. After entering the inner hall, passing through a courtyard, there are several more rooms.
In the house, there are steps leading to the underground, which is the prison.
After going down the steps, there is a brightly lit interrogation place for prisoners. There is a table and some instruments of torture around it. Go through that place and go inside, which is the prison.
Because Yun Shang ordered the entire palace of the Internal Affairs Office to be imprisoned, every cell in the entire Internal Affairs Prison was full of people. Walking to the end, there was a place where special prisoners were imprisoned.
There were two cells on the left, and Li Fuhua was locked in the first one on the left.
Hearing the footsteps, Li Fuhua didn't seem to be interested at all. He just sat leaning on the hay in the corner, with his gray hair spread out, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Eunuch Li, the Queen is here to see you." Qi Ruihai walked to the cell door with a very soft voice.
When Li Fuhua heard this, he raised his head, but first he looked at Qi Ruihai, with a bit of disdain in his eyes, and sneered, then turned his attention to Yun Shang, and then changed to a flattering smile.
: "This slave really deserves death. He bothered the Queen to come to such a filthy place. He just asked the Queen to find out clearly. This slave is really unjust. Although the slave neglected his duty and failed to discover that there was something wrong with the cup in time, but
That cup was indeed made by those craftsmen. Yes, it must be those craftsmen who want to rebel."
Li Fuhua was afraid that he was in a hurry in Weiyang Palace before, so he could not find an excuse to prove that he was not guilty. Now that he thought about it carefully in prison, he weighed the two charges of dereliction of duty and rebellion.
Which one is more serious?
However, Yun Shang was unwilling to give Li Fuhua another chance to make a comeback.
Yun Shang thought in her mind, then raised her eyes and smiled at Li Fuhua, and then said softly: "Eunuch Li, don't worry, although I am confused, I am not so confused that I have wronged a good person. Since Eunuch Li said that he is innocent,
Yes, okay. Come here, open the cell door and take Eunuch Li out, so that we can have a detailed chat about this matter."
A hint of suspicion flashed in Li Fuhua's eyes, but he quickly covered it up. He quickly responded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, my Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty, my Majesty."
The corner of Yun Shang's mouth curled up slightly, then he turned around and walked out of the long cell. When he arrived at the interrogation area, Qing Hao quickly wiped the stool with his clothes before letting Yun Shang sit down.
Li Fuhua was escorted out by the guards and knelt down in front of Yun Shang. Yun Shang didn't make a sound, only looked at Li Fuhua with a smile. Li Fuhua shrank slightly and then said: "Your Majesty, you might as well call those craftsmen over and confront the slaves.
, I really don’t know why those craftsmen made such cups.”
Yun Shang smiled slightly. She was not stupid, so she would not do what Li Fuhua said. Li Fuhua dared to say this because he could not escape the guilt of neglecting his duties. He dared to ask the craftsman to confront him.
He must have something to do with the craftsmen, and no matter what the crime is, the craftsmen will definitely recognize it.
"General Manager Li just walked out of it. He must have discovered that the entire House of Internal Affairs is locked up here. I was also afraid that I had wronged Eunuch Li, so I asked the guards to interrogate everyone in the House of Internal Affairs one by one. But
Before Eunuch Li has been charged, I have not told you what Eunuch Li has committed. I might as well read the testimonies of everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Mr. Li."
Yun Shang smiled lightly, took out the thick stack of testimonies from her sleeve, and handed it to Qinghao: "Qinghao, give our Eunuch Li a good chance to read it."
Qing Hao quickly took it and coughed slightly before speaking up: "Li Fuhua's crime one: privately receiving bribes to provide the banned drug Wu Shi Powder to the concubines in the palace. Li Fuhua's crime two: having an affair with the concubines in the palace.
Li Fuhua’s third crime: smuggling palace belongings out of the palace to make money. Li Fuhua’s fourth crime..."
Li Fuhua's face gradually became ugly, and he quickly said: "Empress, I don't know who provided these things to the Empress, but that person really had ulterior motives and deliberately framed this slave."
As Li Fuhua spoke, he glanced at Qi Ruihai who was standing aside. (To be continued)
