The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 237 Li Quanshui Comes to Complain to the Emperor

In fact, Sang Ning didn't want to make a big deal of this matter, but he would definitely not take his people away today. However, Li Quanshui was stubborn, and fortunately there was a military advisor beside him. Otherwise, if the situation remained deadlocked and no one gave in, they would not know how to end it.

Thinking of this, Sang Ning said slowly, "Okay... Li Quanshui, you have to be thankful that you have Zhuge Liang with you today, otherwise I will never let you leave Qiu Shui Garden today. If you want to go to the palace to file a complaint against me, you can go ahead. I don't mind. Please come in, both gentlemen." Sang Ning made a gesture of invitation.

Li Quanshui wanted to say something, but Li Bing grabbed Li Quanshui, bowed deeply, and took Li Quanshui away from Qiu Shui Garden and the Regent's Palace.

Su Dieyi was stunned for a long time, without reacting. She had never seen such a princess before. Usually, princesses were kind and modest, a typical lady from a noble family. But the princess she met today made her a little scared. She was able to suppress her aura.

She opened her mouth for a long time and wanted to say something, but after thinking for a long time, she didn't know what to say.

At this time, Sang Ning said, "Does the Concubine have anything else to say? If not, please leave. I am tired and want to rest." Sang Ning immediately ordered her to leave.

Su Dieyi was stunned for a moment. "I'll take my leave..." She left Qiushui Garden with the little maid, thinking about what happened today. Today, Lord Li came to Qiushui Garden and wanted to take the two little girls away, but the princess kept trying to stop him. However... At this time, he thought of the key point. Some people said that before the fire in the imperial kitchen, they saw the princess around the imperial kitchen. But the princess did not admit today that she had been around the imperial kitchen at that time.

What was going on? Was this incident really related to the princess? Or had she seen the murderer, but she wanted to protect him or the murderer threatened her, so she didn't dare to say it out loud.

Su Dieyi thought about it all the way, and kept wondering, is this princess related to this matter? Anyway, there are three possibilities for this matter.

First, the princess had indeed not been near the imperial kitchen before the fire, and the servant had made a mistake.

Second, the princess consort had indeed been to the imperial kitchen and had seen the murderer with her own eyes. Perhaps the princess consort knew the murderer and did not want him to be exposed, so she had been protecting him.

Third, the princess was threatened. She saw the murderer, and the murderer also discovered her. Then the murderer used some trick to make the princess afraid to reveal who the murderer was?

There are only three possibilities, but I think the first possibility is less likely, while the second and third possibilities are still relatively high.

Su Dieyi thought so, but she was just a woman, she didn't know whether her analysis was correct or not? Now she could only wait for the prince to come back and see how he would deal with this matter? I hope the prince can come back safely.

Li Quanshui and Li Bing walking out of the Regent's Palace.

Li Quanshui was very dissatisfied with Li Bing's behavior. He had already determined today that the Regent Princess must have something to do with this matter. As long as he took his subordinates away for questioning, he would definitely find out something. But... Li Bing insisted on dragging him like this today, so he didn't find out anything today.

"Lord Li, what do you mean? This matter is very clear. The princess must have a certain relationship with this matter. We dare not touch the princess, but we can take her subordinates away for interrogation. I don't believe he will stop us all the time. I will go to the palace now to report this good regent princess. Let's see how she explains it then, hum..." After Li Quanshui finished speaking, he ignored Li Bing, got on his carriage and went straight to the direction of the palace.

Li Bing knew it clearly in his heart. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the Regent Princess. However, the Regent Princess in the rumors was relatively weak and did not fight with the world. The Princess he met today was very strong and was completely different from the Regent Princess in the rumors.

And even if the stalemate continues today, we will definitely not get any benefits, so we can only choose to leave quickly. Li Quanshui... Li Quanshui... It seems that you can't defeat this regent princess, even if you go to the palace to file a complaint against her now. Didn't you hear her say that if you want to enter the palace, just go there. It seems that she has already thought of a backup plan.

Li Quanshui was defeated today. Normally, he didn't care about the royal family. Today, he finally got a royal family member in his hands. He must treat this royal family well. These royal family members are arrogant, especially the regent... they look down on everyone. Now that he finally has a handle, he must let these royal family members feel what they have experienced.

Soon he arrived outside the palace. Carriages were not allowed to enter the palace, so he had to walk outside the palace. He walked to the palace. He thought about how to meet the emperor and the regent princess. This time he must punish the regent and the regent princess.

Especially the Regent is arrogant in the court. He looks down on everyone, even the Crown Prince. This time, the Regent must be disciplined.

At this time, Emperor Shen Huaian was in the imperial study, talking to Regent Shen Yan. The Emperor deliberately sent the Regent away today, meaning that the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice could investigate the case. Unexpectedly, Li Quanshui from the Dali Temple suddenly asked for an audience.

Emperor Shen Huaian thought that Li Quanshui should have already investigated the case, and now he should ask him about the progress of the investigation, so he called Li Quanshui in.

When Li Quanshui entered the imperial study, he did not expect that the Regent Shen Yan was sitting aside, chatting and laughing with the emperor.

"My dear Li...you came to the palace to explain the case, right? How is the investigation going?" asked the emperor.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please ask someone else to handle this case. Today, I was ordered to go to the Regent's Mansion to investigate this case, but was stopped by the Regent's Consort Sang Ning. I have interrogated the servants of the Regent's Mansion. The servants said that they saw the Regent's Consort before the fire that day. I wanted to find the Regent's Consort and ask her what happened. Did the Regent's Consort see the murderer that day?"

"But as soon as I arrived at Qiushui Garden, the Regent Princess tried to stop me from investigating the case. I kept telling her that I was following the emperor's orders to investigate the case, but she didn't take the emperor's orders seriously at all. Your Majesty... She even forced me to get rid of her. She also said that she would not let me leave Qiushui Garden today."

"Later, thanks to Lord Li Bing... the Regent Princess finally gave in. Otherwise, I might have to report to the Regent Palace today. Your Majesty, please help me. Although the Regent Princess is a member of the royal family, she has no right to detain officials in the court... Your Majesty, please help me." Li Quanshui said as he lay on the ground. Today, he must sue the Regent Princess. He spoke according to the facts, and although what he said was a little exaggerated, he was not afraid.

Emperor Shen Huaian frowned. He thought that if he handed the matter over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, the matter would be thoroughly investigated. Unexpectedly, when he went to the Regent's Palace to question him, he was threatened by the Regent's wife named Sang Ning, and she even ran here to complain.
