Emperor Zhaoming nodded slightly and glanced at Eunuch Su beside him: "Su Wenhai, go and bring people in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Su responded quickly and hurried out of the hall.
Soon, Eunuch Su walked in with Madam Li, who was shivering.
In full view of everyone.
Madam Li suppressed her excitement, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed deeply, "I bow to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will be blessed!"
Her voice was so excited that she trembled a little, and her heart was pounding.
Oh my God...
Unexpectedly, she, a servant who serves people, will have one day going to the palace to meet the emperor. It’s really a smoke from the ancestral grave!
Madam Li didn't dare to look up, but just knelt on the ground, and secretly glanced at the magnificent scene in the hall from the corner of her eyes, feeling as if she had come to the Heavenly Palace, and her mind was dizzy.
At this time, a nice and elegant voice sounded: "Madam Li, County Lord Anping said that the Shen family lost her things, and you took the opportunity to steal her golden needle from it. Is this true?"
Madam Li suddenly felt excited and immediately woke up.
She denied without thinking: "Sir, there is no such thing! It's the third lady who slandered me!"
As soon as these words came out.
The important officials in the hall frowned.
Madam Li's answer was too fast, without a trace of hesitation.
Normal people will think a little when they are asked, but Madam Li blurted out without thinking.
Obviously it was a saying that had been thought of a long time ago.
Cui Li shouted coldly: "You dare to lie in front of Your Majesty, do you know that deceiving the monarch is a serious crime?"
Madam Li was so scared that she trembled: "I... what I said is true..."
Cui Li sneered: "Then how do you know the county lord's golden needle? Have you seen it?"
Madam Li's sweat broke out: "No...I don't..."
"Sister of the Shen family testified that you have stolen the county lord's things and dare to deceive Your Majesty with lies. Do you want me to punish me?!" Cui Li shouted sternly.
Of course, this is false, it is a fraud in Madam Li.
Mama Li is not a powerful person at all, she is just a little clever and just changes her mind to see people take care of her.
She was born and raised by the Northern Qin Dynasty and was full of awe of imperial power. She knelt in the Qianqing Hall in front of the emperor. In addition to being excited, she was also under great psychological pressure.
Cui Li asked so sternly again.
Madam Li's psychological defense line collapsed immediately, and she kowtowed heavily: "Your Majesty, please spare me...Your Majesty, please..."
Cui Li continued to ask: "I asked you again for the last time, did you steal the county lord's golden needle?"
Madam Li argued in cold sweat: "Yes... it was the master who asked me to throw away all the things from the third lady. I just saw that the golden needle was valuable, it would be a pity to lose it! So...
....It's just keeping it for Miss Three!"
Choi Li frowned, disgust flashed in her eyes.
"What else have you stole besides the Golden Needle?"
"There are also some silver notes, jade ornaments, etc.... I am going to return it to the third lady, really!" Madam Li was sweating coldly, and she was puzzled.
Isn’t we going to investigate the case of Miss Third Killing the Old Marquis?
How could you get involved in these things?
Cui Li naturally wouldn't believe her nonsense, so she asked directly: "Where are you hiding these stolen goods?"
Madam Li trembled and said, "Hide...hide it in my servant's house, behind the kitchen stove."
"Mr. Cui, don't ask anymore, just drag it on." The prince said coldly.
Several imperial guards stepped forward, raised Madam Li, and quickly dragged her out.
Xiao Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhan Beihan: "It can be proved now that I haven't lie, right?" This chapter has been completed!
