The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 559: Handed over to Xiao Yi for trial

"Although all the government affairs in your hands have been handed over temporarily, I have talked to Yan Xi and you don't have to worry too much for the time being. You are in the center of the storm now. When this critical moment is over, the emperor should summon you back to the court." Jiang Suining persuaded.

"I understand, but I can't care about that now."

Chu Changhe turned his head and looked back at the room, his brows filled with deep worry.

"Rather than her official position and so-called future, I am more worried about Jingyue. I had hoped that she could calm down and not get too excited, but seeing her calm down just now, I feel even more uneasy."

Although Jingyue seems fearless on weekdays, for her, the Prince Chu's Mansion is her greatest support.

Now something has happened in the Prince Chu's Mansion, and her father and mother have been detained or imprisoned. Jingyue must be extremely panicked. The calmer she appears, the more worried she becomes.

"At a time like this, whether she's calm or excited, Jingyue won't be in a good mood. You can only spend more time with her."

Jiang Suining knew very well that there was really nothing she could say to comfort him. In this situation, no matter what she said, it would seem pale and powerless and would be futile.

Chu Changhe nodded, retracted his gaze and looked at Jiang Suining again, then spoke after hesitating for a moment.

"I have something to ask of you."

"If there is any new situation on Prince Chu's side, we will send someone to deliver the news immediately."

Chu Changhe shook his head. "No, I hope you can send the news to me first, and don't tell Jingyue directly. Especially if there is any bad news, you must tell me first."

"Are you planning to hide it from her?" Jiang Suining frowned.

Chu Changhe tacitly agreed to the intention of concealing the truth and said, "If there is really any very bad news, let me think about it first and see how to tell her so that she will be less sad."

Jiang Suining opened his mouth, but he didn't agree in his heart. If the news was really very bad, the degree of sadness would be the same no matter how it was told.

However, she also understood Chu Changhe's concerns and finally nodded in agreement.

When leaving the Chu family, Shen Yanxi happened to come to Jiang Suining in a carriage and brought new news.

The Prince of Chu was sent to the Ministry of Justice, and the family that had never given up on filing a complaint in the imperial city also formally submitted the complaint to the Dali Temple.

"Has the emperor summoned Prince Chu?" Jiang Suining asked.

If the emperor is willing to summon Prince Chu, perhaps he will take their old friendship into consideration and choose to give him a lighter sentence.

"No." Shen Yanxi shook his head, "And there is another piece of news that I don't know if it is worse."

"What news?" Chu Changhe asked immediately.

"Prince Chu's case has been handed over to the Fourth Prince for trial."

Xiao Yi presided over the trial...

Jiang Suining frowned quickly.

"Is this the Emperor's intention, or did the Fourth Prince fight for it?"

"I heard that it was the Fourth Prince who fought for it, and the Emperor had no objections. He immediately agreed after he proposed it."

"There has never been any hatred between the Fourth Prince and the Chu Palace. If he were to preside over the trial, it wouldn't be too troublesome. But why did the Fourth Prince suddenly want to get involved in this matter?" Chu Changhe was puzzled.

Jiang Suining and Shen Yanxi looked at each other, and neither of them spoke. After leaving the Chu family, Jiang Suining spoke.

"Could it be that Xiao Yi is doing this for Feng Yimin?"

"It is indeed possible. Xiao Yi's spies have never left the Ministry of Justice during this period. It's just that Pei Zhaozhi's precautions are too strict, and they have no chance to take action." Shen Yanxi said after thinking it over.

Xiao Yi had been fooled once before in the dilapidated temple on the outskirts of the city, so he would certainly not act rashly. This time, he could just take advantage of the matter of Prince Chu to enter and exit the Ministry of Justice with justification and find more opportunities to take advantage of.

"It seems that this time, in addition to the matter of Prince Chu, we must also be careful to guard against Xiao Yi's every move." Jiang Suining sighed and leaned on the carriage tiredly.

Shen Yanxi glanced at her sideways, then reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"If you're tired, don't think too much. Don't worry, I'm here no matter what happens."

"But you are also very tired." Jiang Suining leaned on Shen Yanxi, his tone full of understanding and heartache.

Shen Yanxi is now the prime minister. Although he seems to be in great glory, there are many more eyes watching him. His every word and action cannot be wrong, and the government affairs he needs to deal with on weekdays have become even busier.

"Don't worry, your husband is very capable. Ningning can rely on me and depend on me."

He also hopes that Ningning can rely on and depend on him.

Jiang Suining looked up at Shen Yanxi, then leaned over and kissed him lightly at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, your wife can also hold on. Shen Yanxi, no matter what happens next, no matter whether you can hold on or not, I will stand by you and face it together with you, and I won't leave you alone."

Shen Yanxi felt that his heart was drowning in his wife's eyes. The fatigue and tiredness of the past few days were washed away by these eyes, and his whole body and mind felt light.

He kissed Jiang Suining back, his eyes filled with uncontrollable joy and love.

"My Ningning is the best woman in the world."

The cold wind blew through the streets, causing the red lanterns hanging from the surrounding shops to sway in the wind. Although there was joy at the approaching New Year, there was no escape from the harsh coldness of winter.

This small carriage seems to be another world separated from the rest, full of warmth and love.

……

The next day, at noon, Ministry of Justice.

After receiving the report, Pei Zhaozhi arrived at the door of the Ministry of Justice, looked at Xiao Yi who got off the carriage, and stepped forward to bow.

"Your humble servant greets the Fourth Prince."

"Sir Pei, there is no need to be so polite. This prince has been ordered to investigate the case of Prince Chu. Sir Pei should have received the imperial edict, right?" Xiao Yi's gaze fell on Pei Zhaozhi, with a smile mixed in his ambiguous eyes.

"Reporting to Your Highness, I received the imperial edict yesterday, but I didn't expect Your Highness to come so soon today." Pei Zhaozhi spoke with his head half lowered, his brows drooping and his eyes cold.

He knew very well in his heart that the person in front of him was probably not coming for Prince Chu, but for another person in the Ministry of Justice.

"Since we have received the emperor's order, we must move and dismantle it carefully and not let our father down."

Xiao Yi made some polite remarks and looked past Pei Zhaozhi into the Ministry of Justice. However, when he saw the person standing behind Pei Zhaozhi, he frowned for a moment.

But then he laughed again.

"This person looks familiar. Sir Pei, would you like to introduce him?"
