Go and accuse them if you have evidence!

As soon as she left the palace, the Grand Princess went to the Ministry of Justice to report two cases and her servants brought the two bodies over.

"Lord Feng, This Princess wants to accuse Prince and Princess Yanbei of murdering in front of everyone and threatening them. Please accept this." One did not know if it was a deliberate arrangement or just a coincidence, but the Grand Princess looked for Feng Zhao of the Feng Family to make her case.

Ever since Prince Yanbei had sent someone to report to the Ministry of Justice, if the nobles in the capital had nothing to do, they would just take whatever evidence to the Ministry of Justice and report directly to Feng Zhao.

Feng Zhao sighed and sent someone to bring Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai over.

When Xiao Jiu'an heard that the Grand Princess had gone to the Ministry of Justice to report him, he laughed and said, "She has become smarter."

Meanwhile, Ji Yunkai was very surprised. She thought that Xiao Jiu'an had shocked the Grand Princess that day and that the Grand Princess would not dare to find trouble with her again. She did not expect the Grand Princess to report her.

No matter what, the Grand Princess reported them, and the Ministry of Justice sent someone to invite them. Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai appeared before the official, and so, the two of them did not delay any further. They only left to change their clothes and then went to the Ministry of Justice with the official.

When Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai arrived at the Ministry of Justice, there were a lot of spectators outside of the lobby. Of course, those who were able to go into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice were naturally not ordinary citizens. Most of these people were officials from various departments, and they all gathered here to watch the show.

The Grand Princess accused the Prince Yanbei couple. Such a big commotion could be said to be something that they had not seen for hundreds of years.

Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai did not mind if people were watching as they had nothing to hide from others.

"This Official pays his respects to the Prince and the Princess Consort." When Feng Zhao saw Xiao Jiu'an and Ji Yunkai enter, he went forward to pay his respects with a grievance.

This was the reason why he was too lazy to accept the cases of the influential officials in the capital. He was just a fourth-rank Assistant Minister, and there were a lot of people in the capital who out-ranked him.

"Lord Feng, there's no need to be so courteous. It's getting late, let's go to trial." Xiao Jiu'an coldly spoke as he sat down in the empty seat on the left. Naturally, Ji Yunkai would not let herself be wronged by standing, and she sat down in front of Xiao Jiu'an.

This was the benefit brought by power. Even if they were the accused, their identities were there. The Chief Judge, Feng Zhao, did not dare to make them stand, let alone kneel.

*Pah!* Feng Zhao was not afraid of Xiao Jiu'an, nor of the Grand Princess, so he patted the ground with his full strength and said, "Prince Yanbei, the Grand Princess accused you of murder in front of everyone, and has the evidence to prove it, do you have any objections?"

Xiao Jiu'an was a person who killed people in broad daylight, even if he wanted to explain, it would be impossible.

Was the person he killed a human?

"Lord Feng, who was the victim?" In some ways, a dark guard could not be considered human. They had always lived in the dark, just like shadows. They had no identity, no past, and no future. How could they investigate the death of such a person?

"The victim is the Grand Princess's bodyguard." To be honest, Feng Zhao did not know who the deceased was. Although a lot of people knew about what happened in the Grand Princess Mansion, 90% of the people present that day were all shocked stupid by Xiao Jiu'an.

"Lord Feng, you better get the Grand Princess to bring out the identity of the deceased. If she doesn't, then This King won't admit that the person This King killed was the Grand Princess' bodyguard." With a person without any status, if he said that they were that person, then they were that person.

"Xiao Jiu'an, what do you mean? The one who was killed by you was This Princess' bodyguard! You still want to quibble?" The Grand Princess suddenly realized that she seemed to have not prepared enough.

However, even if she was prepared, it would be useless. Fake evidence was just fake evidence, and no matter how well-prepared she was, Xiao Jiu'an would still be able to find out.

"This King killed an enemy spy. If the Grand Princess won't admit it, then take out evidence." Xiao Jiu'an showed his shamelessness once again. When he told a lie, not to mention blushing, he did not even blink his eyes at all. It was simply impossible to judge from his face whether what he said was true or false.

"Nonsense, how could This Princess' bodyguard be an enemy spy? Xiao Jiu'an, stop spouting nonsense!" The Grand Princess suddenly realized that she could not prove Huang Yi's identity.

Huang Yi was an Imperial Secret Guard. He did not have an identity.

Xiao Jiu'an did not bother with the Grand Princess. He only looked at Feng Zhao, waiting for him to speak.

Feng Zhao had cooperated with Xiao Jiu'an before and knew how difficult Xiao Jiu'an was to deal with. Although he biased toward Xiao Jiu'an, under this situation where the evidence was insufficient, he could still sell Xiao Jiu'an a good Feng Zhao.

"Grand Princess, the evidence you submitted is insufficient to prove that the deceased was your bodyguard. He is not on the military roster. If you are unable to provide sufficient evidence, I am afraid there is no proof that the Prince Yanbei killed your bodyguard."

As soon as Feng Zhao finished speaking, the Grand Princess was enraged, "Lord Feng, Xiao Jiu'an killed someone in front of everyone, is he not guilty?"

"Prince Yanbei has the right to kill spies." Feng Zhao lowered his eyes, concealing the contempt in them.

Did she think that the Ministry of Justice was a place where she could play house in, even before finding all the evidence?

Without waiting for the Grand Princess to speak, Feng Zhe continued, "The evidence, in this case, is insufficient. So, I can only suppress it for now and wait for the evidence to be sufficient to start the trial again."

Fortunately, the Grand Princess was not that foolish. If she could not accuse Xiao Jiu'an, she could still accuse Ji Yunkai, "The case where Ji Yunkai killed Madam Zhu, the witness and evidence are all here, Lord Feng, can you proceed?"

"Prince Yanbei's Wife, about the matter of the Grand Princess accusing you of killing Madam Zhu, do you have anything to say?" Despite knowing that he had to continue the procedure, he still complained in his heart. The Grand Princess was not bothered, but he was truly annoyed.

Feng Zhe did not want to be involved in this kind of case, even if it was just playing house. However, his responsibility was that no matter how unwilling he was, he had to finish the procedure.

"I didn't kill anyone." Ji Yunkai had never talked much in front of others, and it was the same even now.

"Did you forget?" Seeing how calm and composed Ji Yunkai was, the Grand Princess could not help but sneer, "This Princess has witnesses and even special evidence. You cannot deny it."

The Grand Princess had truly prepared sufficient evidence on Madam Zhu's case. Not only were there maidservants who had testified against Ji Yunkai, but there were also Ji Yunkai's footprints at the scene and traces of her skirt being ripped off.

These things were naturally arranged by the Grand Princess after the incident, but no one could prove it. Even Ji Yunkai was unable to prove that her footprints and the threads from her skirt were not left by her after the murder...
