C449 A tricky little girl

From the moment Mr. Su and the others were brought into the royal study, Liu Ruo Qing had already known their intentions.

Her restaurant and theater garden were currently very famous in the Jindu, so many people in the Western Garden knew of them, including Mr. Su and the few guests.

King Wei, the head judge of the Ministry of Justice, or the prison warden beside her whom she had never seen before.

It wasn't impossible for these people to listen to books and watch a play on a day of rest.

She was not surprised that they knew that the restaurant and the theatre were hers.

Since they caught Mr. Su and her actress, they would definitely investigate the boss behind the scenes. Once they found out that she was the boss, it would be understandable for Kaiser to order her to enter the palace.

Furthermore, she was now a princess of the xieqing. Even though she was a princess of the Crown Princess Jing, this level of identity was naturally suspicious in two countries that were competing with each other.

To put it bluntly, those are the people from the King Wei Palace, and if word of it spread, they will represent the King Wei Palace. But the restaurant's storyteller is still a talented person, he is someone that we have hired through a letter, and they are free to do whatever they want, what do you think, Duke?

Liu Ruo Qing quickly tossed the question back to King Wei.

At this time, if King Wei denied Liu Ruo Qing's words, it would be equivalent to slapping his own face.

This tricky little girl, he actually fell into her trap so easily.

King Wei's face was dark and he could not utter a single word!

Then, Liu Ruo Qing turned to look at Yan Shuo and asked, "Your majesty, do you have any other questions?"

"This …"

Yan Shuo touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, he actually could not remember what he wanted to ask.

At that moment, Xing Yao, the head teacher of the Ministry of Justice, suddenly spoke up. "I'd like to ask, wangfei, who were these people hired here for her?"

"Oh, it's my personal servant Xiao Yue. Senior Xing, do you want to call my Xiao Yue over for questioning?"

Liu Ruo Qing's answer was extremely magnanimous, without the slightest bit of guilt. It was as if she was completely unaware of the situation.

Even if Xiao Yue came over to confront them, Xiao Yue would not recognize them, and would not suspect Liu Ruo Qing at all.

Even if these people did not believe that Liu Ruo Qing was innocent, since they did not have substantial evidence, they would naturally be unable to do anything to her.

Xing Yao had indeed planned to do this, but seeing Liu Ruo Qing's appearance, he knew that even if he called Xiao Yue's servant girl over to interrogate her, she wouldn't be able to get much information out of him.

Unless they personally pointed out that it was they who had imparted Xiao Yue the title of prisoner of intent.

Liu Ruo Qing knew what Xing Yao was thinking. She walked over to Mr. Su and the others with a smile and asked, "Mr. Su, tell me, who are you and why are you capturing a prisoner?"

When he saw Liu Ruo Qing's questioning gaze, he knocked his head towards her and said: "I didn't know that master is actually the head of the Crown Princess Jing. If you have committed any offense today, please forgive me.

The way Mr. Su spoke was neither servile nor overbearing, and it had the heroic spirit of a righteous man.

"As for how the emperor wishes to punish us, you can do as you please. But please don't wrongly accuse my wife."

Liu Ruo Qing was deeply impressed by Mr. Su's calm appearance when facing such danger.

Obviously, they did not plan to give Xiao Yue away. The problem now was Xiao Yue.

If Xiao Yue returned to her side, then all the problems would be solved.

But if Xiao Yue ran away due to a guilty conscience, then things would become troublesome.

She could get rid of these people for him, but Xiao Yue was her personal maid. If Xiao Yue did something wrong, as her master, it would be hard to say.

In the imperial study room, there was a moment of silence. Yan Shuo looked back and forth between Liu Ruo Qing and the few people kneeling on the ground.

Then, he waved his hand and said, "Take these people away first. Tong Aimin, you will be in charge of this matter. You must find out who the person behind them is."

"Yes, sir."

Tong Shao left the royal study room.

Xing Yao also knew that it was impossible for these people to talk back to the Crown Princess Jing.

Not to mention that there was no conclusive evidence pointing to Crown Princess Jing in this case, even if there was, with Prince Jing supporting him, his reputation as a protector was well-known.

This man was someone that was not to be trifled with. As the head of the Punishment Department, how could he possibly dare to provoke him?

Moreover, he had no grudges or grievances with Crown Princess Jing, so there was no need for him to bite on to the bone and not let him go.

At the same time, he immediately took his leave, "This humble subject will also take his leave first."

After greeting the Kaiser, Xing Yao cupped his hands towards Yan Yuan and left.

At this time, the one who was most unwilling was the King Wei, he had wanted to take advantage of this matter to teach this damn girl a lesson, but in the end, not only was she fine, he was also tricked by her words.

It would be embarrassing no matter how shameful it was.

He gritted his teeth in his heart and cupped his hands towards Kaiser, "This humble subject will also take his leave."

He did not bow to Yan Yuan at all. The moment he turned around, he glared at Liu Ruo Qing fiercely before he flicked his sleeves and left.

Now, in the entire imperial study room, other than Kaiser and Yan Yuan's wife, there was only the prison guard who was originally dragged here to testify by the Minister of Justice.

At this moment, without Kaiser speaking, he did not dare to take his leave like the other masters.

He stood to the side, trembling in fear, not daring to speak.

"You can leave too."

At this time, Yan Shuo's voice told him to withdraw. He heaved a sigh of relief as if he was pardoned from a dream, "I will take my leave."

With that, he immediately left.

His footsteps unconsciously quickened.

She was afraid that if she was one step too slow, Yan Yuan would catch her.

It was because he hated living for too long that he would listen to the words of the President and do some sort of proof.

Those were the people who had played in the Princess's opera garden. They were good people, but the Princess had invited them.

It was normal for the wangfei to not know of the movements of these people in secret.

Why did he think of using this skill to prove himself?

In the imperial study room, only the couple were left.

Yan Shuo's gaze began to fall on Liu Ruo Qing's body.

"Does Ninth Aunt find your servant girl suspicious?"

Yan Shuo's manner of questioning was as casual as usual, and no one could tell what he was thinking or feeling. There was even a hint of indifference, as though he was just chatting at home.
