After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

To be honest, Princess Xianyi saw all the little movements Yan Yu made while drinking tea.

It was this small action that made Princess Xianyi realize that this child was not only smart, but also had a soft heart.

Princess Xianyi doesn't think she is a good person, but when interacting with others, to be honest, she still likes children with good nature and doesn't like those with bad intentions.

So her original vigilance and speculation about Yan Yu faded a little, and she felt more like and admiring of him.

"I saw your actions to remind Madam Ma, my dear child, you have done your best. The rest depends on the wisdom of the mother and daughter. Listen to me, you can't act recklessly in these occasions. Even if the emperor is here, it will be difficult to stop the empress dowager from doing what she wants to do."

Princess Xianyi squeezed Yan Yu's hand and said, "The first thing to do in the palace is to protect yourself and not be too kind to others."

Yan Yu's eyes were gentle and calm, as if filled with water, and she nodded gently.

Princess Xianyi now felt that the reason why the King of Qin was attracted to this child might not only be because of his charming appearance, but also because of his well-behaved nature.

Perhaps because she grew up under the care of her elders, Princess Xianyi also found the child very lovable. If she were her own daughter, she would definitely educate her with all her heart.

They soon arrived at Prince Qin's mansion. Yan Yu said goodbye to Princess Xianyi and slowly went downstairs holding the hand of the maid.

Xiao Chengji investigated the matter that Yan Yu told him two days ago and indeed found out several spies that the Zheng family had planted in the Ministry of Justice.

Today, Zheng's party is the most powerful party in the court. Many people who were against Zheng's party have died for various reasons. The Duke of England has a group of minions who are willing to take risks.

Liu Si was caught by the Ministry of Justice for his lustful nature and died unexpectedly a few days ago. Xiao Chengji investigated for several days and after the autopsy, he believed that someone had suddenly poisoned him to death that day.

We didn't expect that this man had been given a chronic poison, which would cause him to die suddenly when the poison took effect, so we couldn't find any clues at the time.

Following the thread of Huang's son's mysterious death, Xiao Chengji finally uncovered a series of people, not only bringing justice to Huang's deceased son, but also restoring the peace of mind for the Ministry of Justice.

The jailer who worked for him was not careful with his mouth and after just one torture he gave away the official who had ordered him to do the deed.

The arrested officials refused to confess. After being tortured several times, they fainted, but they still did not say a word.

Xiao Chengji came out of the prison with a rather grim look on his face.

Following beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slender figure and bright eyes. He was Xi Min, the current Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Xi Min was originally a retainer of the Prince of Qin's Palace, and was promoted to this position by Xiao Chengji. Naturally, he was loyal to Xiao Chengji and had no second thoughts. He was even more loyal to the Prince of Qin's Palace than to the emperor. He stayed around Xiao Chengji every day and gave him advice.

"Your Highness, he won't confess." Xi Min shook his head and said, "He can clearly distinguish between one person's life and the lives of his entire family."

If you grit your teeth and refuse to confess, and poison a criminal, the worst you will get is exile, and you may not even lose your life.

But if he confessed, the Zheng family had the Queen Mother in charge, and since there was no exact accusation against the Zheng family, the Zheng family would at most suffer some damage to their reputation, but this person and his entire family would definitely be retaliated against by the Zheng family.

Xiao Chengji's face was gloomy and he was too lazy to say a word to him.

Xi Min quickly followed Xiao Chengji and said, "Your Highness is wise and decisive to have found this. After eliminating these people, the Zheng family will never be able to get involved in the Ministry of Justice again."

Speaking of which, this is also the most important thing these days.

In the department headed by Xiao Chengji, the Zheng family can do a lot of things. If something similar happens in the future, they will mess things up.

Being able to pull out a few nails was already worth Xi Min's excitement.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lord Xi, you should go home first." Xiao Chengji said coldly, "These people are traitors to the Ministry of Justice and still want to be exiled smoothly? Zhang Shi, go check how many people are in these people's families, where they are, and what they are doing."

If we let it off lightly this time, who knows who will happen next time if someone inside is blinded by personal gain and takes risks just for a little benefit.

The Zheng family is ruthless in their actions, and Xiao Chengji is only ten times more ruthless than them.

A shadow guard came out from the night like a ghost, knelt lightly in front of Xiao Chengji, said "yes" and left.

Xi Min knew Xiao Chengji's usual style. To be fair, this prince was indeed cruel and ruthless, and had never shown any mercy.

It was getting late, and the moon hanging in the sky was getting brighter.

Today was supposed to be a holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Xi Min had been interrogating Xiao Chengji for such a long time that she finally felt tired. Seeing that Xiao Chengji was in a bad mood, she quickly took her leave and returned to her own home.

Yan Yu hadn't gone to bed yet. She was still in her yard admiring the moon and eating mooncakes.

The autumn wind is already cool at this time, and there are no biting mosquitoes outside, so it is really comfortable outside.

The cool breeze brought with it a faint scent of osmanthus, and Yan Yu recalled the time a few years ago when she was at the Shao family, and she was happily talking with her sisters.

Later, my sisters got married one after another. Some of them had a hard time serving their parents-in-law and husbands. Some of them lived a harmonious life with their spouses.

But no matter how good it is, it is not as leisurely and comfortable as being a girl. It's a pity that such a life only lasts a few years.

In fact, Yan Yu could go to the palace tonight, but the King of Qin was not there. He was always busy every day. The harem was full of concubines vying for favor in front of the emperor. It would be boring for her to stay there. It would be better for her to come back to her own courtyard.

Ningxia cut the mooncakes with different fillings and let Yan Yu taste a little of each. These mooncakes were too greasy to eat and had to be eaten with tea.

Yan Yu tasted a bite of the rose ham, which was said to be tribute, and ordinary people in the capital could not taste this flavor. She felt that the taste was a bit special, but quite good, and took another piece of rose date paste filling.
