When Su Qian and Jing Sheng returned to the East Palace, it was past lunch time.

Mu Yue has been anxiously waiting for them to come back, seeing Su Qian returning with Jing Sheng, she hurried forward. "Your Highness! It's not good!..."

"Is the news about A Li's poisoning leaked out?" Su Qian asked.

Mu Yue froze for a moment, "Your Majesty, how do you know?!"

That person took a lot of trouble, I'm afraid that now everyone in the world will know that the heirs of the East Palace have been poisoned by Beidi!

"Mu Yue, go to Changle Palace and call Yu Ji over." Su Qian's eyes were cold, as if she had made some decision?

"Yu Ji?" Mu Yue blinked, she hadn't heard this name for a long time, since the crown prince passed away, the head of internal affairs of the East Palace seemed to have disappeared among the crowd.

Su Qian nodded her head lightly, her jet-black eyes were deep and dark, and the expression in them was so dark that people couldn't see clearly. "Call Yu Ji here immediately."

"Here!" Mu Yue took the order, left with applause, and went to Changle Palace.

Jing Sheng, who had been staying quietly and obediently beside Su Qian, watched Mu Yue leave, and when she looked back, she saw the expression on Su Qian's face. She had never seen such an expression on Su Qian's face.

It's like... a desperate gambler who is ready to bet everything and take a big gamble!

"Ah Qian..." Jing Sheng felt inexplicably uneasy in her heart, and murmured Su Qian's name.

Hearing the sound, Su Qian looked back, and the gaze that fell on Jing Sheng almost instantly recovered from the coldness and tenderness.

"What's wrong?" She heard Su Qian ask her gently.

"The matter...is it serious?" Jing Sheng asked softly, and she more or less realized that the matter this time might not be simple.

Su Qian stretched out her hand, stroking Jing Sheng's hair on the sideburns gently, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"

"Ash..."

Before Jing Sheng could say anything, there was a loud noise outside the door

"Who are you? How dare you break into the East Palace without authorization?!"

Accompanied by Mu Yue's terrified and angry voice, Jing Sheng heard a warm but majestic voice, "The Ministry of Criminal Justice is handling the case, and let's get out of the way as quickly as possible."

Then, the door of the palace opened wide, and the sound of many footsteps swarming in.

When she raised her head again, many people entered Su Qian's main bedroom.They wore majestic brocade-lined clothes with deer knives around their waists.

It's a servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice!

And the person walking in front of them, whom Jing Sheng also knew, was Su Qian's older brother Su Yu.

Before Jing Sheng could react, Su Qian protected her behind her.

"I don't know what's the important thing for the Ministry of Punishment to come to my East Palace?" Su Qian looked at the aggressive group of people in front of her with a gentle and dignified smile on her face, but this smile didn't reach her eyes.

Su Yu looked at Su Qian and Jing Sheng who was guarded by her, and said, "I am ordered by the Ministry of Punishment to bring Madam Shun Guo back to the Ministry of Punishment to assist in the investigation. I also hope that it will be convenient for Wang Taifei."

Su Yu spoke respectfully, but his words carried an undeniable strength.

"Oh?" Su Qian looked at these people and asked with a slightly cold ending. "What kind of case? Let the Ministry of Criminal Justice break into my Changxin Palace, and come to ask for someone?"

"Assassinate the emperor's heir."

"Ridiculous!" Su Qian's eyes turned cold, "Because of such nonsense, he actually broke into the palace's bedroom. The Ministry of Punishment is so powerful."

"Princess Wang Taifei!" So biting these words to death seems to be reminding Su Qian that she is no longer the princess of the Eastern Palace, but a "Wang Taifei" in name only! "Here in the East Palace, since the ministers dare to enter, they naturally have His Majesty's approval!"

Jing Sheng clearly felt that the person guarding in front of her paused for a moment, but did not move away because of the phrase "His Majesty's approval".

The brothers and sisters of the Su family were in a confrontational state, and the palace suddenly fell into a kind of stalemate silence.

"I'll let them go."

In the quiet palace room, Jing Sheng's soft words seemed unusually loud.

"Jingsheng?!"

Su Qian looked back at her, Jing Sheng just smiled and patted Su Qian's hand, as if the person who was about to be taken away by the Ministry of Punishment was not her. "I'm just going to the Ministry of Punishment, so don't worry, Ah Qian."

"Princess, please!" Su Yu said to Jing Sheng through Su Qian, he didn't want to be rough on this little girl.

Jing Sheng nodded, let go of Su Qian's hand, and prepared to leave with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment.

But Su Qian grabbed the loose hand and held it so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Jing Sheng looked at Su Qian, and said gently but firmly, "A Qian, let go."

Hearing Jing Sheng's words, Su Qian secretly took a deep breath to calm down her loss of control.When he raised his head, his eyes seemed to have regained their usual composure.

"You go with them to assist in the investigation," Su Qian said when he was gentle, with an inexplicably reassuring power, "I will pick you up in two days."

"En!" Jing Sheng nodded heavily, "I'll be waiting for Ah Qian."

After finishing speaking, Jing Sheng followed the two yamen servants who came forward to lead the way and left.

Su Yu bowed and bowed to Su Qian, and when he turned to leave, he heard Su Qian's faint words.

"I have always heard about the methods of the Ministry of Punishment, but I just want to say that if she loses a hair, everyone in the Ministry of Punishment will lose a layer of skin!"

Su Yu frowned slightly, Su Qian was blatantly threatening him not to torture Jing Sheng.

"Jing Hao, you are just a princess now!" Su Yu reminded. "Don't say you're just a princess, even if you're still the princess of the East Palace. It's not something you, a woman, can intervene in the Ministry of Criminal Justice's handling of the case!"

"You should know that people have a limit!"

When Su Yu heard it, Su Qian's voice was filled with laughter, it was so gentle... It made people shudder!

"If you hit the bottom line of this palace, even if you risk your life, this palace will crush you!"

Su Yu lowered his eyes. At this moment, he was inexplicably clear in his heart that his sister's words were not just words.

He had never seen that his sister, who was gentle and kind on the surface, but actually so rational that she was almost cold-blooded, would lose control one day!

"I will do my best to keep her from being punished."

Su Yu didn't look back, but just said this sentence.

He said "I", not "Ministry of Punishment".

It wasn't that he was afraid of Su Qian's threat, he just... softened his heart.

After speaking, Su Yu stepped forward and left.

At this time, Su Qian suddenly called out, "Brother."

The soft "brother" sound behind him made Su Yu's footsteps pause.

Since Yaoyao passed away, he insisted on protecting his wife and younger brother. Su Qian hadn't called him that way for many years.

"Take care of her for me..."

Su Qian's voice was hoarse, and Su Yu heard the begging in the words.

Su Qian, who hated him and never bowed her head in front of him, finally bent her waist for one person...
