Fortunately, the two words' Ning Shu 'were the best signboard. When the soldier heard this, he looked at her with understanding. It seemed that he had already heard of the anecdotes between her and the young masters of the capital, as well as his family's sixth prince. "Eldest Miss Ning, alright. Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and report for you."
She thought that she would have to wait for at least half an hour, but she did not expect Xiao Yunyi to come out personally so soon. When he saw Ning Shu, joy first appeared on his face, then it turned into a strong sense of guilt and restraint.
"Shu 'er, you're awake. Are you here because of what happened at the clock tower? I'm sorry, I did lose my composure at that time and scared you. Even if I couldn't control myself, I didn't have the right to do that to you. After I came back, I regretted it and didn't dare to face you. After thinking about it, I still have to apologize to you. Please don't hold a grudge against me. "
When he mentioned what happened at the clock tower, Ning Shu instinctively felt unhappy and repulsed. She took a step back and did not want to be too close to him. However, there were more important things now and she did not have the time to care about those superficial feelings between a man and a woman with him.
She shook her head with a resolute expression. "I didn't come to find you because of that. Your Highness is busy every day and has many things to do, so I won't beat around the bush. The case is not finished yet. Your Highness, please hand Yuan Wanting and Liu Laosan and his wife to me."
"Oh, it's this." Xiao Yunyi's expression changed and his eyes signaled for the guards behind him to come closer. He smiled warmly at Ning Shu. "I've already told you in the Imperial Mausoleum that the case is basically solved now. You've worked hard these two days, so let me finish the rest. Don't worry, I won't steal your credit. Someone, prepare a carriage and send Shu 'er back for me. "
Ning Shu frowned deeply. Zi Gui and Hui Mo came forward at the same time, not letting anyone touch Ning Shu.
Separated by the two of them, Ning Shu faced Xiao Yunyi with an extremely determined expression and said clearly, "Since I'm here, I won't leave easily. According to the laws of Great Yue, criminal cases have always been handled by the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court. There has never been a precedent for the military camp to intervene. Moreover, this case was given to me by the Empress to investigate from the beginning. Although we have found some clues and suspicious people, their confessions are all missing. The motive of the crime is unclear, and the whereabouts of the children are even more unclear. You told me that the case can be closed, but Ning Shu can't comply. "
Xiao Yunyi sighed helplessly. He turned sideways and raised his hand to pat the two statues outside the camp. "Shu 'er, you should know better than anyone that there are no fish when the water is too clear. There were some things that didn't need to be investigated too closely. As long as the general situation was right and the most fundamental problem was solved, what did the details matter? You found the evidence yourself and the process of the crime was also cleared up by you. Brother Hui Mo beside you can also prove it. That Yuan Wanting confessed everything as soon as he saw the soldiers. What's there to hesitate about? Isn't the most important thing now to announce the results of this case to the public as soon as possible to prove Mother's innocence and also to eliminate the fear of the people in the Capital? As for the children that we haven't found, we will definitely be able to find out their whereabouts from the criminals after two days of torture. Shu 'er, you don't have to worry. "
His attitude made it clear that he didn't want Ning Shu to intervene, but the more he acted like this, the more it aroused the doubts in Ning Shu's heart. She clenched her fists and argued.
"Yes, Your Highness is right. There are no fish when the water is too clear. There are priorities and the overall situation should be the most important. If it was other things, Ning Shu wouldn't be able to say anything. But this case was taken over by me personally. It's too hasty to conclude that it was done by them based on the clues we found. There were many unjust and false cases in the world because of this. If I accidentally wronged them in order to close the case as soon as possible, even if Ning Shu blindfolded herself, she wouldn't be able to face her conscience. Your Highness said that the case has basically been investigated, then have they confessed their motive? Where did they get the guts to be enemies with the Royal Family for no reason and frame the Empress? If Your Highness can't even convince me, how can you convince the millions of people in the world?
