Hope Should I Win Your Heart - C261 Recruitment to the Palace

Returning from the palace, Li Yuhang’s back was already drenched. The emperor’s temper was constantly changing unpredictably. As his subordinates, they too felt anxious and fearful. Especially since he had a bad feeling about this earlier.

“Go, call that disappointing fellow over.” However, since Fu Yuheng had mentioned his nephew, the matter was definitely still with him, so he had to get to the bottom of this.

When the butler saw the situation, he did not dare to delay and immediately ran out. Since there was no one in the mansion, he naturally went to the Willow Street. As expected, he had found him in the brothel.

“Aiya, what’s the matter? I don’t see that I’m busy.” Ignoring the butler’s anxiety, Li Gang still touched Hua Kui’s hand beside him. The steward was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan. Only then did he drag her back.

“The old master is calling you, and he doesn’t look too good, so you need to be careful.” Only after entering the mansion did the butler cautiously speak. It was rare to see the old master so angry.

But Li Gang didn’t think so, what else could it be? Moreover, he was his favorite nephew, so he swaggered into the study.

“Kneel.” Seeing Li Gang coming in, Li Yuhang immediately shouted angrily. Li Gang did not understand, and obediently knelt down, but he was still unconvinced.

“But what did nephew do to make uncle so angry? Uncle should just listen to my explanation.” Although he said so, he had other thoughts in his mind.

After hearing what he said, Li Yuhang once again thought of Fu Yuheng’s scolding and stern voice from today, and asked: “Have you offended anyone in the recent few days, or should I say, offended someone?”

Because what Fu Yuheng had said was completely related to Li Gang, not the slightest bit of concern to him.

Li Gang kneeled down and thought about it, then shook his head, “Nephew has always been a proper nephew, how could he possibly offend others?” Li Yuhang glared at him. He himself was not clear about who he was.

“Think about it carefully, or else I won’t be able to save you.” Li Gang could only continue thinking, and his expression changed back to one of calmness after a moment.

“Yes, my nephew’s carriage bumped into a woman in the market a few days ago, but she was just a beggar.” After all, she was just an ordinary girl, so how could she be worthy of his eyes?

He remembered that when he bumped into that girl, there was another girl that came out to stop him. Furthermore, he even spoke so arrogantly as to inform the Emperor that his attendants had ruthlessly looked down on them.

But now that they thought about it, what happened in the past few days could only be them.

“Woman, do you remember what sort of woman I am? Tell me honestly.” Li Yuhang frowned, thinking that she was right, but he didn’t know what kind of person could make the emperor angry.

However, Li Gang had an unhappy look on his face. After kneeling for so long, his legs had gone numb, “It was just an ordinary woman, but he was born pretty.

“Furthermore, she is not wearing any precious gold or jewelry on her body. She should just be a girl from a normal family.” It was because of this that his manservant would look down on that woman.

But to be honest, that woman was truly beautiful. His temperament was very different. At the very least, he was different from all the females he knew. He was fresh and refined, and there was not the slightest bit of fear in knowing his identity. Instead, he spoke arrogantly and arrogantly.

“Anything else?” Li Yuhang also frowned when he heard this. It was impossible to determine who it was with such a small lead. However, Fu Yuheng’s attitude was also very serious.

“Uncle, why don’t you just tell your nephew what happened?” Li Gang was already kneeling in a rather displeased manner, and wanted to stand up by himself. However, he could only kneel in front of Li Yuhang.

After thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that there was another person by the woman’s side. Looking like a butler, he told Li Yuhang the truth, “Uncle, your nephew can only think of this much.”

“Appearance of the butler? Do you know which family it is from? ” Li Yuhang was still not satisfied. Today, he would definitely get to the bottom of this matter.

“I don’t remember his appearance, but I think the woman called him Sun Ning.” It caused him to recall that what happened so long ago was truly torture to him, and only after a while did he nod his head in confirmation, “That’s right, it’s Sun Ning!”

Sun Ning? Li Yuhang was pacing around the study room nonstop. He was familiar with this name, but he couldn’t think of who it might be.

“Sun Ning? Sun Gonggong. ” He suddenly recalled that the Chief Eunuch by Fu Yuheng’s side was surnamed Sun, and upon comparing it with the feeling he had when he described the woman earlier, he was undoubtedly the current Concubine Xian. Who didn’t know that Fu Yuheng valued Shen Qingwan very much? If she said it, she wouldn’t be surprised.

However, it was also obvious that he had gotten himself into big trouble!

“You, ah, you really are a failure when it comes to doing things.” Li Yuhang was simply about to burst with terror as he scolded Li Gang in disappointment.

Who was Shen Qingwan? She was a treasure that the emperor held in his hands. Normally, these ministers wouldn’t even dare to say that their nephew was really reckless.

“What’s wrong with me? It’s just a woman.” Even Li Gang, who was scolded by Li Yuhang, was not convinced. It was just a woman, how could he be so angry? Earlier on, he had forced a girl to death, but he didn’t say anything.

“Don’t say anything else, quickly come with me to the palace to beg for forgiveness.” Li Yuhang no longer had the mood to continue explaining to Li Gang, he hurried into the palace with him to find Shen Qingwan.

When he saw that the person he clashed with that day was the current Concubine Xian, Li Gang realized how big of a mistake he had made, and immediately kneeled down and begged for mercy.

“Empress Lucky, this lowly one had no eyes to see that day and bumped into Empress. I hope you can forgive me.” As he spoke, he continuously kowtowed. If he wasn’t careful, he would lose his life.

Shen Qingwan looked at Li Gang as if he was a joke. Where did the arrogance from back then go?

“Oh?” The handkerchief in his hand lightly brushed past the corner of his lips and he slowly opened his mouth. “Vice Minister Li, this is?” This kind of villain was the one she looked down upon the most, and intentionally looked towards Li Yuhang at the side.

“This is this humble subject’s nephew. A few days ago, he accidentally bumped into the Empress. He has come today to beg for forgiveness.” Cold sweat trickled down his face, and he wished he could find a hole to hide in.

Shen Qingwan suddenly realized something, but she laughed coldly in her heart. Back then, she was well aware of the matter of him colluding with Prime Minister Liu.

“Apologize? Apologize for what? The person Vice Minister Li’s nephew bumped into is not me. ” There was a hint of coldness on his face as he stared at the person on the ground.

“Qing Ling!” Waving his hands behind him, a lady walked over with her head lowered.

Initially, Li Gang wanted to apologize, but when he saw that it was Qing Ling who was unwilling, he said that he was just a small palace maid, for him to apologize, wasn’t that humiliating him?
