Jiang Huan sat in the carriage, his heart filled with worry. However, he knew his own situation and did not rashly get down.
Not long after, the sounds of fighting outside stopped. Gu Shengyin lifted the curtain and sat back in her clean clothes.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Huan asked nervously.
Gu Shengyin shook her head: "It's just a group of motley crew. A few of them have been caught by your coachman and are going to be sent to the Supreme Court later."
She lowered her eyes and hid the look in her eyes: These people were all fugitives that she had paid a great price to find. She had promised them that she would protect their wives and children for a lifetime of prosperity and safety, but the price was their lives.
When they arrived at the Supreme Court, these people would reveal some information according to what she said. By the time the Supreme Court investigated, they would naturally be able to use some clues to link this assassination to the previous one.
Gu Shengyin did not deny that her move was somewhat shady, but the truth was that if you were merciful, others would want your life.
Jiang Huan saw that her mood was not right and thought that it was because she was in a bad mood, so he did not think much of it.
As Gu Shengyin had expected, this assassination attempt actually involved Prince Rong. Jin Shengyin flew into a rage and personally ordered the Supreme Court to investigate thoroughly.
When the officials of the Supreme Court received the imperial edict, they naturally did not dare to be negligent. Each of them took out 120% of their experience and treated it carefully. In addition, Gu Shengyin had already prepared the "evidence". When the officials found out the "truth", their hearts turned cold.
"Lord Zhang, this …" The deputy of the Supreme Court stood at attention and looked at his superior with a face full of sweat.
Since a princess was involved in this matter, they had no way to make the decision.
Moreover, in this kind of situation, it was possible that His Majesty would silence the insiders to protect Princess Shu He.
Lord Zhang of the Supreme Court had been in the officialdom for many years and was much calmer than Li Zheng: "This matter, other than you and me, no one else is allowed to know. Now, follow me to the palace to see His Majesty."
"Yes."
On the other side, when the Emperor heard that the matter had been investigated, he immediately summoned the officials of the Supreme Court.
"This is the result of your investigation?" The Emperor looked at the two of them coldly.
Lord Zhang's expression remained unchanged as he replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, this matter is highly confidential. Lord Li and I have done everything personally, and the results will be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible. As for whether it is true or false, I hope Your Majesty can decide. "
He left the choice to the Emperor. What he meant was that this matter was not revealed to the public. Only the two of them knew about it. Even if they were given a hundred guts, they would not dare to reveal anything. As for the "truth", it depends on Your Majesty. Whatever truth you want, it will be whatever truth you want.
The Emperor looked at the two people kneeling at the foot of the steps for a long time. Killing intent flashed in his eyes, but he finally calmed down. "Get up. You don't have to worry about this matter anymore. I will naturally give the general and Prince Rong an explanation."
The two of them took their leave in relief.
Once they were out of the door, Li Zhengcai bowed respectfully to his superior, "Your Excellency is quick-witted. This humble official admires you."
Lord Zhang stroked his goatee with a smile and said nothing.
The Emperor entered Princess Shu He's palace with a heavy expression.
Ever since Princess Shu He was caught eloping, she had been placed under house arrest in the palace by the furious Emperor. Even her birth mother, Imperial Concubine Fang, was not allowed to visit.
Hearing that the Emperor had arrived, Princess Shu He's eyes flashed with joy: Imperial Father had always doted on her and would definitely not punish her.
She tidied her clothes and went out to welcome him.
"Imperial Father …"
"Pa!"
What greeted her was a resounding slap.
