Chen Jingxi left the courtyard and asked without any hurry, "Is the Dali Temple Minister called Jiang Kai?"
Wu Kuan replied: "That's right."
Chen Jingxi nodded and said softly, "Go and replace everything in the main hall with..."
Wu Kuan looked confused after hearing this, but still agreed.
"Go and invite them into the palace. Don't neglect our father's people."
He quickly responded, "Yes, Princess."
Chen Jingxi asked Wu Kuan to invite them in, but she did not go to see them immediately. Instead, she changed into luxurious clothes and acted like a princess.
Jiang Kai, who had been waiting for a full hour, was now furious. Seeing Chen Jingxi arrive late, he didn't even bother to greet her. Instead, he taunted her, "Princess Su, how is it that you are now the head of the Su Palace? Why isn't the prince here? I'm here to apprehend the prince. Please, princess, let the prince come out."
This statement sealed the charge, and the tone was extremely arrogant. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be furious.
But Chen Jingxi acted as if she didn't hear anything. With the help of her maid, she crossed the river and sat down in the main seat.
She gently picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then slowly said, "Lord Jiang, what do you mean? When did I ever say that I would be in charge of Prince Su's Mansion? Also, as the Minister of Justice, you should understand right from wrong and not make arbitrary judgments."
Jiang Kai's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure.
He snorted coldly and said, "Your Highness, your words make sense, but I am only following orders. Please ask Your Highness to let the prince come out. We have something to ask him."
Chen Jingxi smiled and said, "Master Jiang, please be patient. The prince will come out to see you. But before that, I would like to ask you, Master Jiang, why did you suddenly surround the Prince Su's Mansion? And why do you want to arrest the prince?"
Jiang Kai sneered and said arrogantly: "The Dali Temple is investigating the case, and the princess has no right to interfere."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jingxi smiled lightly and said, "Oh, fine, I won't ask any more questions." After that, she picked up the teacup, blew on the tea gently, and sipped it slowly, as if she didn't care about anything in front of her.
Jiang Kai waited for a long time, but he still didn't see Chu Jinghuai, nor did Chen Jingxi speak again.
He finally couldn't help but angrily asked, "What is your intention, Princess? Are you trying to obstruct my work?"
Chen Jingxi blinked her eyes innocently and said, "I didn't!"
"Please ask the princess to let the prince come out."
"You are talking about the prince. He is busy and has no time."
Jiang Kai's face turned pale with anger. "Princess, are you trying to interfere with my work?"
Chen Jingxi repeated: "I don't have it!"
Jiang Kai finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Princess, if you continue to be so unreasonable, don't blame me for being rude."
Chen Jingxi put down her teacup and glanced over coldly, "Master Jiang, do you think this princess is too easy to talk to?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the secret guards hidden in the dark appeared in the hall like ghosts and surrounded everyone.
Jiang Kai's expression suddenly changed. He had no idea that there were so many people lying in ambush around.
He was startled, knowing he couldn't force his way through. So he clasped his hands together and said in a slightly more gentle tone, "I've been ordered to investigate the whereabouts of the Pingliang prefect's stolen money. I beg your Majesty to do me a favor and allow the prince to come out."
Hearing this, Chen Jingxi's previous gentle look disappeared, and the teacup on the table broke with a "bang", splashing tea everywhere.
She looked at Jiang Kai, her eyes as cold as ice, and said, "Master Jiang, do you have any evidence? You want to arrest my husband without any evidence. What do you think my Su Palace is?"
Jiang Kai was intimidated by Chen Jingxi's aura. He lowered his head slightly and replied, "I am investigating, but there are already some clues pointing to the prince."
Chen Jingxi sneered and said, "Clues? What clues? Can you show them to me? If it's really my husband who did it, I won't stop you from investigating. But if you're causing trouble for no reason, don't blame me for being rude."
Jiang Kai was shocked when he heard this. He knew that this Princess Su was not an easy person to deal with.
So, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Highness is absolutely right. I will investigate the facts as soon as possible and give you an explanation. But before that, please ask Your Highness to let the prince come out and cooperate with my investigation."
Chen Jingxi looked at Jiang Kai, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "Sir Jiang, this princess can give you a chance, but you must also give me a promise. If you can't find out the truth, or if you wrongly accuse my husband, do you know the consequences?"
Jiang Kai nodded and signaled his men to bring the person forward.
He pointed at the man and introduced him, "This man is an aide to Pingliang Governor Kuang Yi. His surname is Xie and his given name is Liangbai. He said that after Prince Su interrogated Kuang Yi, the whereabouts of the stolen money in Kuang Yi's mansion became unknown, and Prince Su left Pingliang that night..."
Chen Jingxi looked at them, thinking to himself, "It's obvious that they came prepared. This witness must be genuine."
At this time, there was no need for them to fabricate a false witness to fool themselves.
After Jiang Kai explained the whole story, seeing that Chen Jingxi remained silent, he said again, "Princess, please let the prince come out. I am only doing my job as a matter of routine and will not hurt the prince in the slightest."
Chen Jingxi ignored Jiang Kai's words and turned to ask the secret guard beside him: "What is the prince doing?"
The secret guard replied respectfully, "Princess, the prince is taking care of your pigs."
When the secret guard said this, Jiang Kai and the others were stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes full of disbelief.
The mighty Great Xia God of War was actually taking care of a pig? Was this something they could imagine?
