Chapter 23 Never Show Weakness
Xiao Ning turned sideways to face him with glaring eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked: "I can afford it."

Every word is loud and clear.

"The concubine's life is not in danger of being assassinated, but the husband is seriously injured on the bed, and cannot bear the torture of the harsh and cold place like the dungeon of the Ministry of punishment. If Duke Li forcibly detains him, he will suffer from accidents, can you bear it?" Xiao Ning retorted. , although he is the Duke of the state, he can never afford the death of the prince.

Li Juegong was speechless, furious and had nowhere to vent.

"You Xiao Jin's family are all so eloquent! When I play your Majesty, I will let Xiao Shangshu discipline you, a wild girl!"

Xiao Ning sneered in his heart, if that old man had the ability to speak eloquently, he wouldn't be fooled by Xiao Qi and Xiao Wanying.

"Xiao Shangshu is the Shangshu appointed by the emperor. Li Juegong said that he is eloquent. Does this mean that the emperor does not know how to employ people and is incapable of knowing people?"

A deep and warm voice came from somewhere, not angry but pretentious.

Looking for the sound, he saw an apricot-yellow sedan chair parked not far away, with four-clawed dragon patterns embroidered on the sedan curtain.

This is a totem that only princes can have.

Li Juegong's face turned pale, and he hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow and salute: "My minister sees the regent!"

He naturally recognized who the voice was.

Xiao Ning also hurriedly followed to salute: "Your Highness came just in time, Duke Li deceived me as a womanizer, and insisted on arresting my husband without any evidence, intending to use him as a scapegoat. Your Highness is wise, and I hope to give justice to the women."

Li Juegong was also anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "My lord, don't listen to the nonsense of the naughty girl. His Highness Si Ruiyan was injured by an arrow. The guards chased him all the way. On the way, they saw him pull out the arrow and throw it aside. The arrow It's an arrow that only exists in the Duke's Mansion!"

He raised his eyes and stared at Xiao Ning coldly: "Miss Xiao has repeatedly blocked the wound examination, but she is actually afraid that the wound of the Fourth Highness matches the arrow of the Duke's mansion, right?"

Xiao Ning frowned, and only sneered softly: "The one who cleans up cleans himself."

The people in the sedan chair did not move, they just quietly listened to what the two said.

It took a long time before he let out a gentle chuckle, as if he didn't care about the murder at all.

"Li Juegong is really the pillar of the country, not only for the country and the people, but also worried about the concubine's affairs." Shen Shaojie lifted the curtain and came out, tall and handsome, with an extraordinary appearance.

Duke Li's face was slightly ugly, and he didn't know whether it was a sarcasm or a compliment.

"The matter is of great importance. Please also ask the prince to order Si Ruiyan to be taken into custody. As long as the Ministry of Criminal Justice finds out the truth, he will be released. I just want to find out the truth and share the emperor's worries."

Department of custody pending trial! "Li Juegong whispered coldly, turned his head away from looking at Xiangguo Temple.

"Then let the Secretary of the Criminal Ministry sign the arrest warrant." Xiao Ning responded lightly, without the official document from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Duke Li has no right to arrest anyone.

"It's about the life of the concubine! Even if the Fourth Highness is not the murderer, he might be an eyewitness. If you get the clue a moment later, the murderer will be free for a moment! If this is a good opportunity for you to make a mistake, can you afford it?" Duke Li shook his sleeves and stepped forward. , eyes tearing apart.

Xiao Ning turned sideways to face him with glaring eyes, the corner of his mouth slightly hooked: "I can afford it."

Every word is loud and clear.

"The concubine's life is not in danger of being assassinated, but the husband is seriously injured on the bed, and cannot bear the torture of the harsh and cold place like the dungeon of the Ministry of punishment.

Shen Shaojie raised his eyebrows, and glanced at him with lowered eyes: "How do you know that the emperor is worried about this matter?"

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and the concubine is not a very favored person.Since the incident happened, the emperor has not ordered a strict investigation. On the contrary, Duke Li is busy, which is a bit too aggressive.

Duke Li couldn't answer, and lowered his head with an ugly expression.

"Last night, my king also chanted scriptures and prayed for blessings in Xiangguo Temple, and Si Ruiyan was sitting in front of me." Shen Shaojie frowned calmly, as if he was talking about family matters.

"This king can prove that he doesn't have time to assassinate the concubine, so Duke Li still needs to investigate?" He lowered his eyes and asked coldly, the corners of his mouth curled into a half-smile.

The regent opened his mouth, Li Juegong didn't dare to say a word more, he shrank his neck like a turtle, "Xiangguo Temple enjoys a century-old reputation, and the monks in the temple will not lie. It is enough to get the monk's testimony, my minister But I just want to leave a confession for the Ministry of Punishment. It's enough to have the prince's golden words." Li Juegong's voice became weaker and weaker.

Shen Shaojie personally stepped forward to help Xiao Ning, and smiled warmly: "Miss Xiao speaks out for her husband and is not afraid of powerful people. This kind of courage really makes me admire more and more."

Xiao Ning blessed his body, nodded his head and said: "My lord is absurd, I just don't want to see my husband being used by some wicked people to ask for credit and reward."

"This king has high-quality gold-chuang medicine here. You can't find it outside the tribute in the palace. This king rewards you." Shen Shaojie raised his hand, and the eunuch in brocade clothes behind him took a porcelain bottle and brought it up.

"Thank you for the gift from the lord, the daughter of the people thanked you on behalf of your husband." Xiao Ning nodded politely.

The two talked to each other, and Duke Li just knelt on the ground in such embarrassment, no one paid any attention.

"My lord, the criminal department is still waiting for the minister to go back to assist in the case, so the minister has to leave first." Seeing the people coming and going in this temple, Li Juegong saw many strange eyes on him, he must hurry up. Some leave to save people from laughing.

Shen Shaojie gave him a cold look, and before he could speak, a figure stood in front of him.
