Chapter 392: Falsely Claiming Credit

At this time in the palace.

Concubine Qi Jingchun was pleading with the emperor for the Li family.

"I shouldn't have said too much, but I happened to have had some boudoir feelings with Madam Li in the past. I thought that the Li family had a strict family tradition and would never disrespect the emperor. The previous incident was probably an accidental misunderstanding."

While pouring tea, she looked at the emperor's face with her peripheral vision.

"Anyway, 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 held the tea without saying a word, he was a little distracted.

He was thinking, at this time, the eunuch should have sent the imperial edict of conferring the title to Shen Ningning, right?

The emperor specifically asked the eunuch to go when the little girl was in class at the National Academy.

First, it would give Shen Ningning face, and second, it would also comfort Mo Lingwei.

Since Qi Jingchun was restored to the throne, Mo Lingwei has never given the emperor any good face.

He knew his son best. Anyone who bullied Shen Ningning was listed as an enemy by Mo Lingwei.

Thinking of this, the emperor sighed.

Qi Jingchun looked subtle: "Your Majesty?"

"Oh, what did you say?" The emperor came back to his senses.

Qi Jingchun smiled: "Do you want to meet that little girl named Li Yuyi and see what she wants to say?"

The emperor drank a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and asked: "I sent the Li family to Mobei, haven't they set off yet?"

"In five days, it will be the time for the criminals to set off. If the emperor wants to try them, you can do it before then." Qi Jingchun replied.

The emperor thought for a while and narrowed his eyes.

The reason for demoting Li Hai was that the emperor announced to the public that the Li family was corrupt and accepted bribes, but there was insufficient evidence.

Because the Li family was mainly offended by the emperor, they were sent to Mobei.

Many ministers in the court had doubts about this.

"Well, let's meet. Pass the order. After the morning court tomorrow, summon Li Hai's daughter to the imperial study. I want to see what she wants to say." It's just right. After meeting, I can completely banish their family to Mobei on the grounds of disrespect in front of the emperor, so as to stop the gossips in the court.

A trace of emotion that is difficult to capture flashed in Concubine Qi's gentle eyes.

When this matter reached Shen Ningning's ears, Mo Lingwei was taking her for a walk in the imperial garden.

"You don't have to worry. Even if the emperor sees Li Yuyi, he will not be soft on her. It's just to show the ministers." Mo Lingwei said to the little guy.

After thinking for a while, he said calmly: "As long as I am here, I will not let them get away with it."

Shen Ningning came back to her senses and blinked her round black eyes: "Brother, I am not worried that the Li family will not be punished, I am thinking about something else."

"Uncle Zhang, Mr. Zhang Liu, died in the sea of ​​fire, and so many farmers and sweet potato vines were burned. This matter has always been a suspicious point."

"I was thinking that maybe the Li family knew something. Since the emperor wants to interrogate them, why don't we interrogate the Li family one step ahead of time."

Mo Lingwei hesitated slightly: "Do you want to see Li Yuyi? She is narrow-minded, I am afraid she will hate you so much that she won't tell you the truth. "

"I won't see her!" Shen Ningning snorted playfully, looking at the swaying spring scenery in the garden, her pink lips were soft: "I heard from Shangyi that Li Yuyi has a half-brother, and she has always disliked this brother. I will see him, maybe I can ask something!"

Mo Lingwei was stunned, and then nodded: "Okay, I will arrange it for you."

"Do it quietly! Don't alert the snake." She felt that Concubine Qi would not intercede for the Li family for no reason, and must want to use this opportunity to win over the Li family.

Therefore, 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 passed the hanging flower arch, they heard a sharp cat cry, and a black shadow pounced from the top of their heads and went towards Shen Ningning!

The sharp claws stretched out in the air, and a white blade-like light flashed.

Mo Lingwei was the first to react. He dragged Shen Ningning behind him and kicked her with his boots.

"Meow!" Mo Lingwei kicked the cat in the stomach and it screamed.

Shen Ningning grabbed Mo Lingwei's sleeve and opened her eyes wide in shock.

She watched the black cat, which was bigger than her head, fall to the ground after being kicked, but immediately got up and jumped to the top of the wall with the help of vines.

"Meow." The black cat jumped up and was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, it turned around and stared at Shen Ningning, whose face was soft and pale, 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 others, the other beasts on the mountain can smell her unique scent from a distance.

Some hid directly in fear, and some only dared to stop and look from a distance, but did not dare to get close.

The cats in the palace were not afraid of her.

Mo Lingwei frowned and stared at the cat: "This is Concubine Qi's cat, Black Li."

Oh~

Shen Ningning understood.

This is the legendary cat king in the palace who caught countless mice.

"It is wild and difficult to tame. It doesn't listen to anyone except Concubine Qi. It has already scratched several palace servants not long ago. Look at the action of it attacking you just now. It must have regarded you as an enemy. You'd better be careful."

After Mo Lingwei finished speaking, he asked people to drive away the black cat.

The guards took out their scabbards and slapped the wall, and the huge black cat fled away.

Shen Ningning patted her chest with her little hand: "Huh, what's the point of it scaring me? Humph, wait and see, next time I will bring a kitten into the palace, and if it has the ability, it will bully my cat!"

Mo Ling smiled dangerously, took her little hand, and they walked side by side to the depths of the imperial garden.

The next 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 wrongly accused. What happened that day was clearly misleading by the Xie Mansion. Otherwise, how could he have bumped into you."

The life behind bars these days is in sharp contrast to the previous days of fine clothing and fine food.

It's 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 happened, Yu Yi doesn't want to hide it anymore. Please forgive the lives of Yu Yi's family because of Yu Yi's anonymous donation of food!"

"Originally, my father and mother taught Yu Yi that you should not take credit for doing good deeds, but the emperor wants the lives of Yu Yi and the whole family. So what are the good deeds Yu Yi has done in the past? Won't the emperor make everyone in the world feel cold?"

The emperor had remained expressionless as he listened 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 did not lie. He is kind-hearted. He just hopes that Cangyun Country can survive the crisis and God has a good life. Zhi De, Yu Yi shouldn’t die without knowing it!”

The emperor was furious and overturned the tea cup next to him.

"How presumptuous! I gave you the opportunity to state your fault, but you are still lying. It 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 take credit and beg for mercy?"

Li Yuyi was greatly surprised.

The tears that had not yet been squeezed out of his eyes froze on his face along with the stunned expression.

"Wha, 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 you and hide it from me. Send it 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 still shouted: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I don't dare to lie anymore. This is all what Xie Yuanjiu taught me, Your Majesty!"
