After returning from the palace, Li Yuhang's back was soaked. The emperor's temper was always unpredictable, and they, as his subjects, were also worried. Especially since he had some ulterior motives before.
"Go, call that useless guy over to me." However, since Fu Yuheng mentioned his nephew, the matter must be his, so he must ask him clearly.
Seeing this, the housekeeper did not dare to neglect and ran out immediately. Since there was no one in the house, he must have gone to the prostitute street. As expected, he found him in the brothel.
"What's the matter? Can't you see I'm busy?" Ignoring the housekeeper's urgency, Li Gang still touched the hand of the courtesan beside him. The housekeeper was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and dragged the person back.
"The master is calling you, and his face looks very bad. You'd better be careful." When they arrived at the mansion, the butler spoke cautiously. It was rare to see the master so angry.
Li Gang didn't think so. What else could it be? Besides, he was his most beloved nephew, so he walked into the study room with a swagger.
"Kneel down." Li Yuhang shouted angrily when he saw Li Gang coming in. Li Gang didn't understand why, but he knelt down obediently, but he still didn't accept it.
"But what did my nephew do to make you so angry? You should just listen to my explanation." Although he said this, he had other thoughts in his mind.
After hearing what he said, Li Yuhang remembered Fu Yuheng's punishment today and asked sternly, "Have you offended anyone in the past few days, or bumped into anyone?"
Because all Fu Yuheng said was about Li Gang, and it had nothing to do with himself.
Li Gang knelt down and thought carefully and shook his head, "My nephew has always been a well-behaved person, how could he offend anyone." Li Yuhang glared at him when he heard that. Didn't he know who he was
"Think about it carefully again, otherwise I can't save you." Li Gang had no choice but to continue thinking. After a moment, he suddenly realized something and regained his calm.
"Yes, my nephew's carriage hit a woman in the market a few days ago, but she was just a beggar." After all, she was just an ordinary woman, how could he take her seriously.
He remembered that when he bumped into the woman, another woman came out to stop them, and even threatened to tell the emperor, and his servants also looked down on them.
But now that I think about it, what happened in the past few days could only be caused by them.
"Woman, what kind of woman? Do you still remember? Tell me honestly." Li Yuhang frowned after hearing this. It must be her, but he didn't know what kind of person could make the emperor angry.
Li Gang looked unhappy. His legs were numb after kneeling for so long. "She was just an ordinary woman, but pretty. She was very cold. My nephew doesn't remember anything else."
"Also, she doesn't wear any expensive jewelry. She should be just a girl from an ordinary family." It was because of this that his servant looked down on that girl.
But to be honest, the woman was really beautiful. Her temperament was very different, at least different from the women he knew, fresh and refined, and she was not afraid at all when she knew his identity, but instead spoke arrogantly and was very proud.
"Anything else?" Li Yuhang frowned. It was impossible to determine who it was with such a small clue. But looking at Fu Yuheng's attitude, he seemed very serious.
"Uncle, why don't you just tell me what's going on?" Li Gang was already feeling unhappy kneeling and wanted to stand up by himself, but when he met Li Yuhang's gaze, he had no choice but to continue kneeling.
After thinking for a while, he remembered that there was another person beside the woman, who looked like a housekeeper, so he told Li Yuhang the truth, "Uncle, this is all I can remember."
"Looks like a housekeeper? Do you know which family he belongs to?" Li Yuhang was still not satisfied. He was determined to get to the bottom of the matter today.
"I don't remember her appearance, but I remember that the woman seemed to call him Sun Ning." It was really torture for him to recall something that happened so long ago. After a long while, he nodded in confirmation, "Yes, it was Sun Ning!"
Sun Ning? Li Yuhang paced back and forth in the study. This name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.
"Sun Ning? Eunuch Sun." Suddenly, he remembered that the chief eunuch beside Fu Yuheng was surnamed Sun. Comparing the impression given by the woman he just described, she must be the current Consort Xian. Who doesn't know that Fu Yuheng thinks highly of Shen Qingwan? If she said it, it wouldn't be strange.
But it was also obvious that a big disaster had occurred!
"You, you, you are always causing trouble instead of being able to accomplish anything." Li Yuhang was so frightened that he scolded Li Gang with a look of disappointment.
Who is Shen Qingwan? She is the emperor's beloved daughter. Ministers like them usually don't dare to say that their nephew is really ignorant of life and death.
"What's wrong with me? I'm just a woman." Li Gang was not convinced by Li Yuhang's scolding. She was just a woman. Was it necessary to get so angry? He didn't say anything when he forced a woman to death before.
"Don't say anything. Come with me to the palace to apologize." Li Yuhang no longer had the mood to explain to Li Gang. He hurriedly took him into the palace and found Shen Qingwan.
When he saw that the person he had bumped into that day was the current Concubine Xian, Li Gang realized how big a mistake he had made and quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Good luck to your Majesty. I was blind and offended you that day. Please forgive me." He kowtowed continuously as he said this. If he had been careless, he would have lost his life.
Shen Qingwan found Li Gang ridiculous. Where had his arrogance from that day gone? Why was he so spineless now
"Oh?" She gently brushed the handkerchief in her hand across her lips and spoke slowly, "Minister Li, what is this?" She looked down upon such villains the most and deliberately looked at Li Yuhang standing aside.
"This is my nephew. I accidentally offended Her Majesty a few days ago, and I have come here today to apologize." Cold sweat streamed down his cheeks, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Shen Qingwan suddenly realized something, but she sneered in her heart. These uncle and nephew were probably birds of a feather. She knew clearly about his collusion with Prime Minister Liu.
"Apologize? What are you apologizing for? The person that Minister Li's nephew bumped into was not me." His face became colder as he stared at the person on the ground.
"Qing Ling!" He waved behind him and saw a woman walking towards him with her head lowered.
Li Gang originally wanted to apologize, but when he saw it was Qing Ling, he was unwilling to do so. She was just a little palace maid. Asking him to apologize, wasn't that humiliating him
