Chapter 1124: Chapter 917 Interrogating Minister Lu_3
Xiaosuisui: "..."
"Alright, if you know you need to attend the palace examination, why didn’t you set out earlier?
Why did you waste time until the last minute and then hurry on the road?"
The old Madam Ji saw him scolding her precious granddaughter and couldn’t help but get angry.
Glaring fiercely at him, "Hurry up and freshen up, get ready to eat!"
The old Madam Ji reached out and hugged Xiaosuisui over.
On the day of the palace examination, the city mobilized a large military force, Ji Youzhi surrounded the Minister’s Mansion!
At the same time, he also sent people to surround the Liu Mansion.
The people at the Minister’s Mansion were bewildered, and the people at the Liu Mansion were even more baffled.
"Who are you people?
Why are you capturing us?
Do you know who my master is?
Let me tell you, my master is Liu Yuheng, the minister from Southwest Road, and my lady has participated in the selection process!"
The people from the Liu Mansion shouted loudly.
"Shut up! No matter how high-ranking your master is, he’s not higher than the Emperor. The one giving the order to capture you is Ji Divine Hunter, Lord Ji. Do you know who Ji Divine Hunter is?
He’s the Emperor’s confidant; his command is equal to that of the Emperor himself. If he captures you, you’d better count your blessings!"
Outside the city, twenty iron riders were galloping towards the Capital City.
"This woman is too ruthless; Leader, who do you think she is?
With the Emperor’s decree in her hand, she just kills corrupt officials without hesitation."
"Stop the nonsense. If you want to stay alive, follow her well, maybe you’ll carve out a future."
"Really?
Leader, might this girl be a daughter of some royal or minister?"
"Stop the nonsense and keep up; ever since she received a letter from the Capital City a few days ago, she’s been rushing there as if her life depended on it.
Who knows what happened in the Capital City?"
The people following behind stopped at the signal from the girl with the decree, and they heard her say.
"You all go home to rest first; tomorrow we’ll enter the palace to report the results of our mission to His Majesty."
"Yes!"
The crowd responded.
Then, they watched as she rode dust and lightning into the city gates, rushing towards the Imperial Palace.
Inside the Imperial Palace, the Emperor sat majestically on the Dragon Throne, Ji Youzhi stood by his side, and behind his throne was Empress Dowager Xiao, separated by a beaded curtain.
Beside Empress Dowager Xiao sat Princess Lianchun.
Before the Emperor were Minister Lu and Liu Hengyu kneeling.
Liu Hengyu’s body trembled, his head touching the ground, not daring to glance at the Emperor.
Beside him, Minister Lu knelt honestly.
"Your Majesty! What do you mean by this?
Do you want to interrogate your old minister?
Even the Empress Dowager herself has come!"
"Minister Lu has a clear self-awareness, knowing I want to interrogate you."
"Since Your Majesty wants to interrogate me, could you at least inform me, what crimes have I committed?"
As Minister Lu spoke, Xiaosuisui, sneaking behind Empress Dowager Xiao’s throne, was intently scribbling words.
Her handwriting was like chicken-scratch, large and ugly, lacking limbs.
She secretly handed her writing to Princess Lianchun.
Princess Lianchun took one look and was instantly aggravated. This little girl certainly hasn’t practiced her calligraphy lately; with such scrawls, she’d rather spank her!
"Minister Lu, thirteen years ago, did you adopt the young heir from Prince Qing’s Mansion? Such a coincidence, indeed."
Princess Lianchun directly addressed the theme according to Xiaosuisui’s writings.
Xiaosuisui perked up her ears, listening to Minister Lu’s inner voice, and quickly transcribed the content.
Princess Lianchun saw Xiaosuisui’s result from inner hearts and turned pale.
Yet Minister Lu remained quiet, as if in deep meditation, refusing to say a word.
Little did he know, Princess Lianchun had already gotten what she wanted.
"Minister Lu, shouldn’t you explain this matter thoroughly?
How could it be so coincidental?
After the fire at Prince Qing’s Mansion, the young heir of Prince Qin’s Mansion became the young master of the Lu Family?"
Seeing that Minister Lu did not respond to Princess Lianchun’s question, the Emperor squinted his eyes, speaking personally.
"Your Majesty!"
Minister Lu’s face darkened, an unusual gleam in his eyes, he took a deep breath and bowed his head to the Emperor.
Xiaosuisui’s third paper discreetly passed to Princess Lianchun.
Princess Lianchun’s face turned black, a sheet of paper contained five characters, each big as her little fist!
When all is settled, she would definitely tie the little girl up and spank her, she must practice calligraphy properly.
As she thought so, she heard Minister Lu’s words.
"Previously, I had said, Yun Sheng was a child I picked up outside; when I found him, he was unconscious. I brought him home and he stayed unconscious for several days. When he finally awoke, he had lost his memory."
