Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 616

Chapter 616

This, this, this is the emperor cleaning up his house! Why is there still a need for an interrogation?

He continued with a stiff upper lip, "Master Shadow Guard, please tell me the details of this journey."

Wei Xingzhou said, "I was escorting Princess Haiyan out of the palace, and I met Concubine Li on the way. It was Concubine Li who asked if this was Princess Haiyan. Then she asked to escort Princess Haiyan out of the palace. During this process, I saw Concubine Li secretly put a handkerchief on Princess Haiyan, and Princess Haiyan was completely unaware. So I took advantage of her unpreparedness and returned the handkerchief to Concubine Li. Lord Li, this is called returning the property to its original owner, right?"

The whole story has been explained very clearly.

It was Concubine Li who used the handkerchief stained with the special jade dew to harm people first, and the Western Shadow Guard was merely returning the property to its original owner.

Madam Li burst into tears, her whole body trembling with anger, "Too cruel! The Western Shadow Guard is too cruel! You could have just thrown away the handkerchief and saved the Imperial Concubine's life!"

Wei Xingzhou looked at Madam Li as if she were mentally retarded, with a trace of disdain on his brows, "Are the Xiying Guards hired by your family? What obligation do I have to save the life of the Imperial Concubine?"

Mrs. Li burst into tears, as it should be, "She is the emperor's concubine! She is your master!"

"My only master is the Emperor! Madam Li, please be careful with your words!" Wei Xingzhou was already extremely impatient.

At this time, Li Shixin spoke up, "May I ask Princess Haiyan, you were also at the scene at that time, how come you were able to escape unscathed?"

Even Ruyi was stung all over her head and body, and had difficulty speaking, but Princess Haiyan was completely fine. The bees seemed to avoid her.

This was the biggest doubt he could think of.

Once this doubt is not explained, it will be difficult for Princess Haiyan to stay out of it.

Shi Anxia thought for a moment and took off a sachet from her body. "Maybe it's because I brought this sachet pouch. This was given to me by my mother. She was worried that I would be bitten by mosquitoes, so she added some mosquito repellent herbs into it."

Chief Judge Liu immediately asked the imperial physician waiting outside to check the sachet. As Shi Anxia said, there were indeed some mosquito repellent herbs in the sachet. In particular, there were some very rare herbs in it, which were worth a fortune in the market.

There was no doubt about the case. Chief Judge Liu was hungry and wanted to go home for dinner. "I have already investigated the whole story of this case and can close it. Lord Li, do you have anything else to ask?"

Li Shixin had nothing more to ask and was very desperate.

But Madam Li was not giving up and still had more questions to ask, "Everything has its roots. Princess Haiyan, have you ever met the Imperial Concubine before?"

Shi Anxia shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it."

"Then why would she hurt you for no reason?" Madam Li shouted sternly, trying to cover up her fear with her loud voice so as to achieve the purpose of overwhelming others.

Unexpectedly, Shi Anxia was not afraid at all, and looked at her as if she was mentally retarded, "Madam Li, you ask me? I'm asking you! She is your daughter, you and your daughter must have a spiritual connection. Then tell me, why did she come to harm me for no reason?"

Mrs. Li closed her eyes tightly and tears flowed down her cheeks.

She was furious.

After several rounds of fighting, she didn't gain any advantage, nor did she get any respect. Her chest was heaving violently, and she felt very aggrieved.

Li Shixin was afraid that his wife would say something that would put the lives of the Li family at stake, so he lowered his head in grief, "Master Liu, please close the case. I have no more questions."

Wei Xingzhou said, "Lord Liu can close the case, but Lord Li and Madam Li cannot leave yet. The emperor has summoned you, so please follow me." He said, and his eyes swept over Madam Li again, "As for Madam Li's willingness to file a complaint with the emperor at the risk of the lives of the Li family, I will report this to the emperor truthfully."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and turned to walk out the door first. The official uniform of the Western Shadow Guard looked particularly mysterious in the night.

In Chaoyang Palace, Emperor Mingde had a frosty look on his face.

After Li Shixin and his wife entered the hall, they shuddered together.

Emperor Mingde said coldly, "Li Shixin, you really raised a good daughter!"
