"How's the situation in the palace?" After returning to the Supreme Court, Ning Shu immediately inquired about Tan Siwei's situation.
Deputy Minister Zheng said, "His Majesty personally interrogated Official Tan, and Official Tan confessed. His Majesty was furious. The five-day deadline promised to Southern Yan's Deputy Envoy is approaching. His Majesty has already issued an order to summon Southern Yan's Deputy Envoy to the palace tomorrow afternoon to jointly interrogate Official Tan and completely conclude this case."
Ning Shu rubbed her temples. Tomorrow afternoon, there were less than sixteen hours left. There really wasn't much time left.
Deputy Minister Zheng saw that she had just returned and was about to leave, so he hurriedly chased after her. "Lady Ning, it's already so late. Where are you going?"
Ning Shu didn't even turn her head. "I'm going to the Prime Minister's residence."
With so little time left, if the mountain didn't come to her, then she would go to the mountain. She didn't believe that the Tan family was an impenetrable wall that couldn't even find a crack!
"Eh? But the curfew has already passed! "
Before Deputy Minister Zheng's voice could reach her ears, it had already been swept far away by the wind by her ponytail. In the night breeze, the lights were bright, and the summer was slightly tipsy. The warm wind urged the horses to gallop faster. Under the bright, mirror-like moonlight above her head and the swaying lights in the mortal world, Ning Shu's expression was resolute. She urged her horse to leap over the green bricks of the capital's wide streets, like the wind and like a dragon.
When she reached Zhuque Street, a group of soldiers suddenly stopped her. It was Yongchengwei. "Stop! Who is Nightwalker? "
Ning Shu pulled on the reins and replied in a clear voice, "Duke Ning's eldest legitimate daughter, Ning Shu. I've been ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of the sudden death of the envoy."
The leader of the guards said, "Lady Ning, the curfew has already passed. If you don't have an official seal, you can't go to the capital at night."
Yesterday, when she fell into the Xue family's ancestral tomb, the only official seal that His Majesty bestowed upon her was also lost in the chaos. Previously, the fake one was a carrot carving that she casually took out under Lian Qiao's orders to fool people. It was not a problem to fool the market aunties, but if she wanted to fool the Longcheng Guards, she was afraid that her face would be exposed. Ning Shu thought for a moment and said, "I have an important case at hand and forgot to bring the token with me. I will definitely bring it later. Please make an exception."
"This is the law, no one can defy it!"
Ning Shu frowned. Just as she was thinking about how to fool them, a voice pushed through the crowd. It was as steady as a chime. "Let her go."
Yongchengwei dismounted one by one and bowed to his former master on one knee: "Your humble servant greets the Sixth Prince."
Behind the crowd, Xiao Yunyi slowly walked out from the dark blue night. He had taken off his sharp armor and was wearing a white robe that made his aura gentler. Only his cold eyes were still his true self.
Seeing that the Yongchengwei were hesitating, Xiao Yunyi put his hands behind his back and said coldly with a frown, "Can't you understand my words? I said, let her go! "
"Yes!" Yongchengwei looked at each other and finally gave him face and let Ning Shu go. "Lady Ning, please."
Ning Shu nodded in thanks. When she passed by Xiao Yunyi, she thought for a moment and still dismounted. "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xiao Yunyi's lips twitched. "I said the night before that if you need anything, you can come and find me at any time. It's just a sentence, why are you being so polite with me? Are you deliberately trying to keep a distance from me? Don't worry, I'm not so shameless as to cling to you. "
Ning Shu smiled awkwardly when her thoughts were exposed.
Xiao Yunyi said lightly, "There are more than one Yongchengwei patrolling the city. There will be more in front. Let's go, where do you want to go? I'll send you there."
