Chapter 948 His Crimes (2/2)
Noticing that Chen Ke was looking at the brazier under Yun Shang's feet, Yun Shang frowned and nodded. ”Okay, you can go out first. I'll be right there.”
Chen Ke replied and left the room slowly. Yun Shang then looked at the fire basin at her feet. There was a piece of paper burning in it, and the ashes were not completely dispersed. One could tell at a glance that it was a piece of paper.
Yun Shang looked around and took out a plum blossom from the vase beside her. She stirred the paper ash in the stove so that no trace could be seen. Then she picked up the plum blossom again. When she was about to insert it into the vase, she saw that
oncealed. He quickly responded and smiled, ”Thank you, your majesty. Thank you very much.”
Yun Shang smiled, turned around and walked out of the long prison. When they arrived at the interrogation room, Qinghao wiped the stool with his clothes and let Yun Shang sit down.
Li Fuhua was taken out by the guards and knelt down in front of Yun Shang. Yun Shang didn't say anything but smiled at Li Fuhua. Li Fuhua shrank his body slightly and said, ”Your majesty, why don't you call those craftsmen over and confront me? I really don't know why they made such a cup.”
Yun Shang smiled. She was not stupid and would not do as Li Fuhua said. Li Fuhua dared to say that because he was guilty of dereliction of duty. If he dared to call the craftsmen to confront him, they must have something on him. No matter what crime he committed, the craftsmen would definitely admit it.
”Mr. Li must have found out that all the members from the Imperial Household Department are locked here. I am afraid of wronging Lord Li, I asked the guards to interrogate everyone in the Imperial Household Department one by one. But they haven't convicted Lord Li yet, and I haven't told you what crimes you have committed. I might as well read the testimony of everyone in the Imperial Household Department to you,”
said Yun Shang with a smile. She then took out the thick pile of testimony from her sleeve and handed it to Qing Hao, ”Qinghao, read it carefully for Lord Li.”
Taking it over in a hurry, Qing Hao coughed slightly and raised his voice, ”The first crime of Li Fuhua is that he took bribes in private and provided five stones of powder for the imperial concubines. Li Fuhua's second crime: he had an affair with the ladies in the palace. Li Fuhua's third crime: smuggling of things from the palace for money. Li Fuhua's fourth crime... ”
Li Fuhua's face darkened. He hurriedly said, ”Your majesty, I don't know who provided these things to your majesty, but that person is really vicious and deliberately framing me.”
Li Fuhua said as he glanced at Qi Ruihai.
