Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge
Chapter 239: Imperial Palace Secrets
As he spoke, he had already asked the servant following closely behind him to place a large brocade box on the table next to His Highness.
Xiao Fuzi's mouth twitched. Only Lord Yu could do such a thing. No one else had the courage to do such a thing.
Sang Mo was also trying to hold back his laughter, remembering the time when Yu Sicong broke one of the teacups that Madam Xie had given to His Highness, and His Highness had made him bleed profusely and donate all his banknotes. He was almost hurt internally, and had to hold back his laughter.
Yan Nangui ignored what Yu Sicong said or did, but bowed politely to Li Junhao, and then turned his gaze to Yu Sicong, this funny guy.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a living treasure. He has been spoiled by his grandfather since he was a child, and all the officials in the court are aware of it.
Fortunately, the child's nature is not bad. At most, he does some nonsensical things and is a little willful, but he has not grown up completely astray.
Li Junhao still smiled faintly and said to Sicong, "What did Lord Yu say? What did you do wrong? Do you need to come here to apologize to me?"
"Oh, Your Highness, please don't torture me like this. I don't know what I did wrong, but I must have done something wrong. Your Highness, please be generous and forgive me."
Yu Sicong didn't care about anything else at all. He just wanted Li Junhao to forgive him. He couldn't even say what he was forgiving.
As he spoke, he opened the brocade box he had brought with him. Inside was a set of tableware made of pure silver. The patterns on it were very exquisite, and they were inlaid with red gems and golden cloud patterns, with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and the meaning was also very good.
"This is my grandmother's dowry. I have never been willing to use it for so many years. How do you think of this set of tableware?"
Li Junhao and Sang Mo were both very puzzled. This guy would go to his grandfather's warehouse to look for things whenever he had time. How many good things could he have that he could keep giving away like this?
This guy is so good. Whenever he makes a mistake, he will definitely go to the warehouse to get something precious to apologize.
Li Junhao naturally didn't care about his set of tableware, so he didn't say anything.
Sang Mo had no choice but to walk forward, reach out and take a small bowl, and take a closer look. "Well, Your Highness, the pattern is auspicious dragons and phoenixes, and it looks like it is several decades old."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, it will be very suitable as your betrothal gift in the future." Yu Sicong hurriedly continued after hearing Sang Mo's words.
Yan Nangui was speechless. What kind of friendship was this? When giving gifts, one had to consider His Highness's betrothal gift?
After hearing this, Li Junhao still did not express anything else. He just waved his hand and asked Sang Mo to put the brocade box away, which meant he accepted it.
When Yu Sicong saw it, he immediately became happy and accepted his gift, which meant that he had forgiven him.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Your Highness." He bowed repeatedly to thank Li Junhao.
Yan Nangui couldn't help but feel speechless. If he were Yu Sicong's grandfather and knew that he acted like this, he would definitely be furious for raising such a stupid grandson.
Li Junhao turned his gaze to Yan Nangui at this time, "Master Yan, come here, but do you have anything to ask me?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Nangui immediately calmed down his thoughts, took out a piece of offering paper from his sleeve and presented it to Li Junhao.
"Your Highness, this matter was involved when the Dali Temple was trying another case. What do you think should be done?" Yan Nangui said with a bow, neither humble nor arrogant.
Li Junhao took the supply paper in his hand. He didn't care how Yan Nangui knew it. He was very curious about what the other party had discovered and why he came to find him like this.
When he opened the paper, he simply read two lines and his eyes widened involuntarily.
"Is this true?" Li Junhao looked at Yan Nangui again.
Seeing his face full of shame, he could only bow and say, "Because we don't know what Your Highness means, we are still at the interrogation stage and haven't had time to do anything else."
They only found out about it during the interrogation last night. After an entire night of interrogation, they rushed here early this morning.
Li Junhao straightened his body, read the contents of the paper again, covered his violently beating heart, and then slowly spoke,
"Investigate, keep investigating. Isn't the wizard Mingluo still imprisoned in the Dali Temple? Just investigate boldly."
"Yes, I will go back right away." After hearing this, Yan Nangui immediately bowed and said goodbye.
Li Junhao said, "No matter how you torture me, save the life of Wizard Mingluo. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Yan Nangui agreed and went out again.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?" Yu Sicong saw that Li Junhao and Yan Nangui both had serious expressions, which immediately aroused his curiosity.
Li Junhao didn't want to hide it from him, so he handed the paper supply in his direction.
An old and honored eunuch in the palace committed a crime after leaving the palace. During the interrogation, he actually revealed a huge secret.
When he was on duty in the palace, he once heard a conversation between two palace maids. An old palace maid asked a young palace maid to put a colorless and odorless potion into the pot for boiling medicine, which needed to be left there for a month.
At that time, he didn't know what the potion did, so he didn't take it seriously. But he knew that little palace maid. She was the little girl serving in the Queen's palace, and was usually responsible for some odd jobs.
It was not until a month later, when the queen passed away, that he realized that it must be related to the potion.
However, he secretly inquired about the Queen's death, and even the imperial physicians in the palace said that she died of illness, not poisoning.
This also made him very confused, but he didn't dare to ask around, so he had to conceal the matter from then on and never told anyone about it.
Later, he left the palace and was taken care of by his nephew. However, the nephew spent all his time gambling and drinking. Not only did he squander all his family property, he also set his sights on the silver he brought back from the palace.
During an argument, he accidentally knocked over his nephew, who hit his head on a rock and died on the spot.
He was worried that he would be tortured when he arrived at the Dali Temple, so he told everything he was asked, even things that were not asked.
Yu Sicong also frowned after reading it. "When the Empress passed away, more than one imperial physician diagnosed her as having passed away. They all said that she died of illness. This... is there really another hidden story behind this?"
