A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

Chapter 1162 - 930 Truth 9_3

At this moment, Ji Youze took on the role of a scribe, directly recording everything Liu Yuheng said onto the dossier."But in recent years, His Majesty has been quite adept at managing state affairs, and Divine Hunter Ji has been investigating vigorously. Every time Lord Li sends a letter back, it’s always to delay, until last year’s Double Ninth Festival Palace Banquet, I heard about the arrival of the phoenix!"

The Emperor frowned!

"The arrival of the phoenix?"

"Yes! The arrival of the phoenix, and Little Lucky Star from the Li Family was taken in as a disciple by the National Master, moreover, she and the Li family’s young lady performed art before the throne, which attracted the True Phoenix!"

Emperor: "..."

Xiaosuisui: "Why is it that the phoenix was attracted by Li Yanyan?"

The little girl pouted, looking both confused and angry!

The Emperor glanced at her and comforted his precious daughter threatening to explode!

"Folktales can’t be taken seriously!"

"But clearly it was me..."

"Be good! Let Uncle Li finish handling the case first, it’s getting late, once the case is finished, you won’t have to go to school!"

"Oh!"

In order to avoid going to school, the little girl was extremely obedient!

"After the Double Ninth Festival, what did you do?"

"I... I saw a glimmer of hope of returning to the capital, and so I focused my efforts on His Majesty’s selection of concubines. Thus I sent a secret message to Li Xu, asking him for help.

However, there was no response for a long time, then during the New Year, I heard that the Ji Family was hosting a plum blossom banquet, and there was the Empress Dowager’s decree, so I went all out and sent a letter to Minister Lu.

I explained my relationship with Li Xu in the Zhongshu Province and implored him to find a way for my daughter to participate in the selection.

A few days later, I received news that Lady Li vouched for my daughter, allowing her to enter the palace selection, and the Zhongshu Province issued an order for me to enter the capital to report for duty!

This is what I wanted to say."

Ji Youze suddenly stopped writing the dossier and looked up to ask him.

"You say that every position you’ve sought over the years was orchestrated by Li Xu in the Zhongshu Province!"

"Yes!"

"But relying solely on Li Xu, he doesn’t have that much ability!"

The Emperor couldn’t help but turn his head to look at him, "Youze, have you thought of something?"

Princess Lianchun quickly looked over the list Ji Youze had written earlier, "Are you suggesting?"

Ji Youze nodded and wrote down two names on a blank signature paper.

Princess Lianchun handed it to the Emperor.

The Emperor was furious!

"Long Wu!"

The Emperor didn’t even bother explaining to others, and directly calling Long Wu meant that the other’s identity was absolutely not simple!

"Your Majesty!"

Long Wu entered, not daring to breathe heavily.

"Lead a team yourself, surround the mansions of Left Minister Song Yuan and Right Minister Lin Yushu, and have Lin Yushu and Song Yuan come to the palace to see me!"

"Yes!"

"Captain Long Wu, tell your brothers to surround but not act, and not to trouble the elderly and women in the mansion!"

"Don’t worry, Eighth Young Master, I’ll keep that in mind!"

The Emperor rubbed his brow and asked Xiaosuisui, "Are you tired? Let your aunt take you back to sleep!"

Xiaosuisui hadn’t spoken yet, Princess Lianchun spoke first.

"Let someone take her to the Empress Dowager instead! I’ll stay here with you all to keep watch!"

"That’s fine!"

The Emperor nodded, agreeing.

Xiaosuisui couldn’t wait to leave, she was terrified of the Imperial Study now, today her hand hurt from writing!

In Cining Palace, Xie Pan’Er stood in the courtyard with the Empress Dowager looking towards the Imperial Study.

"I wonder until when they’ll be interrogating tonight?"

Xie Pan’Er said worriedly, "Are you worried about His Majesty? How about I accompany you for a look, and bring some pastries to His Majesty and the others!"

"It seems it’s you who are worried about His Majesty?

I can send someone to accompany you for a look, I’m old now, and going back and forth is too troublesome!"

Empress Dowager Xiao saw through Xie Pan’Er’s thoughts and pointed it out directly.

"No, you’re just teasing me."

Xie Pan’Er said this with her mouth, but had already set off, "I’ll go make a bowl of noodles for His Majesty in the small kitchen!"

Last time during Xiaosuisui’s birthday, it was she who made the longevity noodles personally, His Majesty said it was delicious!

Always remembered to let her do it!

"Go, go! Once done don’t come here to speak to me, just go over directly!"

As Empress Dowager Xiao finished speaking, Nanny Xiao came over holding Xiaosuisui’s hand.

"Grandma!"

"Oh my little dear, your uncle and aunt finally let you out, how is it? Is everything in the Imperial Study settled?"

Xiaosuisui shook her head, "No, probably won’t finish until dawn!"

"Ah... what problem is so difficult?

Why are they interrogating till dawn?"

"Grandma, don’t worry, it’s common to stay up for days and nights in case hearings.

Seventh Uncle said, this is called enduring like an eagle, those interrogating must endure more than the criminals themselves!

What can be confessed in one or two days is easy, the tough ones take two or three days at least!"

"Oh my, you know so much at such a young age?

What did you all ask in the Imperial Study?

Just now I saw that there seemed to be more people and horses leaving the palace, what’s going on?"
