The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 234 The Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple investigate the case

She still remembered that her master in her previous life had taught her that sometimes, when facing an enemy, one needs to play hard to get. It seems that her master now wants her to play hard to get and let the other party relax their vigilance so that she can make further plans. It is hard to say who is watching her at the door or in the distance.

She was right. Someone was watching her from a distance. They were the assassins of Yanyue Sect, Ling Xiao and Ling Fan. As the top assassins of Yanyue Sect, their hiding skills were unmatched by anyone else in the world. So Sang Ning didn't notice that they were watching her in secret. But... he already knew his master's routine, so he tried not to show it to himself too much.

Ling Xiao and Ling Fan had been secretly observing Sang Ning's every move. At first, they thought there was nothing special about Sang Ning. But... ever since the other woman came to see her, her various behaviors, the look in her eyes, and the way Sang Ning walked, the two of them knew that this person must have martial arts skills.

The way people with martial arts skills and those without martial arts skills walk are completely different. You as an ordinary person will definitely not be able to observe it, but if you observe these martial arts practitioners carefully, you can observe it.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, and the little maid Su Ye ran in.

"Princess...the people from the Dali Temple suddenly broke in, saying that they wanted to interrogate the people in our palace. The prince was called away by the emperor and is not in the palace now? This Lord Li from the Dali Temple is really unreasonable. He dares to act so recklessly when the prince is no longer here. Now Concubine Su has gone over and is arguing with him. I don't know if Concubine Su can suppress Lord Li." Su Ye said with some concern.

Sang Ning sat at the table drinking tea and thought, Su Dieyi, since he likes to be in the limelight so much, let him be in the limelight. Although she is a concubine, she is also the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei. Who in the court dares not give face to the Marquis of Zhenbei?

"Don't worry about it, we'll just drink tea here. If Li Quanshui wants to ask me something, let him come by himself. I'm not like Su Dieyi who likes to show off. Don't forget the saying that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot... We can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor..."

Su Ye listened to her own princess' words, which made sense. And now she felt that the princess in front of her had changed a lot. The previous princess was relatively weak and did not fight or compete. Although the concubine sometimes made things difficult for the princess, after all, with the prince around, the concubine did not dare to make things difficult for the princess.

The princess now will not suffer any grievance, and he has not forgotten what he has done in the past few days, especially what happened in the imperial kitchen that day. She and Zi Su still remember it clearly.

Li Quanshui, the Minister of Dali Temple, and Li Bing, the Minister of Justice, have already arrived at the front hall. This matter has been reported to the emperor by those who secretly opposed Shen Yan.

The emperor had long been dissatisfied with Shen Yan. Finally, someone found evidence against him. Even though he knew that he couldn't do anything to Shen Yan, he could still make things difficult for him. So he issued an edict to summon Shen Yan to the palace early in the morning. At this time, the two officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple happened to go to the Regent's Palace to question him.

"My two lords, what do you mean by this? Our prince was invited into the palace by His Majesty, and you two came with people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. What do you want to do? Even if you want to interrogate him, you cannot have such a big show. What do you think my regent's palace is?" Su Dieyi was extremely dissatisfied with Li Bing and Li Quanshui.

Li Quanshui looked at Su Dieyi. He knew Su Dieyi, the daughter of Zhenbei Hou Su Yehe. So what? He treated everyone equally. In addition to so many people, don't you take any responsibility for shooting at the palace?

"Concubine Su... I heard that you are the head of this palace, and now such a big thing has happened, more than a dozen people have died. I am here to investigate this case under the order of His Majesty. Do you dare to stop His Majesty's order? I guess your father wouldn't dare to do that either." Li Quanshui has always disliked Zhenbei Hou Su Ye. Su Ye and , who are fighting for the military power in their hands and look down on everything. So he has always been prejudiced against his daughter.

Su Dieyi was speechless after being questioned. Yes, it was His Majesty who personally asked the two of them to investigate the case. If he stopped them, he would be disobeying his order.

"Go and call all the people in the mansion. I want to question them. By the way, where is your princess? It's okay that she doesn't come out normally, but now that such a big thing has happened in the mansion, why doesn't she come out?" Li Quanshui looked around and didn't see the regent's wife.

Everyone in the court knew that the regent's wife was very eccentric and did not like to attend many large banquets. However, as the regent's wife, she had to appear on some occasions.

But it was also very strange that every time the Regent Princess attended, she would quietly follow the Regent Prince and not talk to anyone. So everyone's evaluation of the Regent Princess was that she was a cold beauty.

Someone has died in the mansion today. Why doesn't this cold beauty come out?

Su Dieyi looked a little embarrassed, wondering what time it was. What on earth did she want to do? Was she going to hide behind the scenes? The two adults had received an imperial decree.

"Go to the backyard quickly and ask my sister to come out. Tell her that the two adults came to ask about what happened a few days ago." Su Dieyi asked his men to invite Sang Ning.

At this time, Sang Ning was not worried at all. He knew that the two adults would definitely ask him to go to the front hall, but he would never go. Do you want to show off your power? With the two of you, do you think you two are worthy? A Dali Temple and a Ministry of Justice, the highest is a second-rank official. In his eyes, Emperor Shen Huaian is nothing, let alone a second-rank official?

She was drinking tea leisurely at this time. She heard someone running in from outside the door. She looked up and saw that it was Si Yin, the prince's personal bodyguard.

Si Yin bowed first when he saw Sang Ning.

"I greet the princess. Before the prince left, he did not take us two brothers with him. However, the prince asked us two brothers to convey a few words to the princess. May I ask if it is convenient for the princess to talk now?"

Si Yin saw the maid Su Ye next to him. He was not sure whether Su Ye was safe next to him, so he wanted to ask the princess. If the princess felt unsafe, she would definitely ask Su Ye to leave.

"It's Si Yin, tell me what's going on, we are all family"

"My princess... before he left, the prince said that if anything happened in the palace today, the princess should solve it in her own way and not worry about other things... and... from now on, I will always stay by your side until the prince comes back, and I will definitely ensure your safety..."

Sang Ning nodded and said, "Don't worry, just do it your way." It seems that Shen Yan already knows that he was called away by the emperor today, and people from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple will come to investigate.

Su Dieyi is a little woman after all, and she has no way to deal with some things.

"Okay, I understand...you..."

Before Sang Ning could finish her words, another little maid came up in a hurry.

"I greet the princess, the front yard... the two officials from the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple ask the princess to move to the front yard. They say they have something to ask the princess..."
