Tang Lixian and Wei Qing took the children back to the Marquis' Mansion and wanted to go to the Dali Temple.
"Wife, let me go with you." Wei Qing said.
Tangli shook his head.
Wei Qing is now the Minister of Justice and holds an official position. Even if he did nothing, his appearance in the Dali Temple with Tang Li represented his position.
Being an official in the capital is already difficult, and her husband has more important things to do, so Tang Li doesn't want Wei Qing to be involved in anything she can handle on her own.
"Husband, I can handle it myself. You wait for me at home." Tang Li said.
Wei Qing was feeling a little down.
His wife is running around outside all day and he can't do anything. He is still too weak.
Tang Li naturally understood what he was thinking. She stood on tiptoe and gave him a kiss on the face.
"Husband, you are my anchor. As long as I turn my head and see you, my heart will be at peace." Tang Li said.
Her husband is not useless, he is very useful.
It's something she can solve now, but for things she can't solve, her husband still has to cover for her.
After being comforted by Tang Li, Wei Qing smiled and touched her head.
"Wait until you come back."
"Um."
Tangli went to the Dali Temple.
…
Dali Temple.
"Sir Gu, it doesn't make sense to keep someone locked up when you don't have any evidence," the third prince said aggressively.
Even though Zhao Shu was a prince and the strongest contender for the crown prince position, Gu Huainian showed no signs of giving in.
Since he is the Minister of Dali Temple, he must not fear power, otherwise he cannot guarantee justice and fairness.
"Your Highness, Zhu Chunjiao is highly suspected, and I am investigating." Gu Huainian said.
"Okay, then I will give you three days. If you still can't figure it out within three days, you can't blame me for reporting you to my father and accusing you of poor handling of the case." After the third prince said this, he turned away.
When he reached the door, he paused.
"She is my princess. I will remember anyone who dares to hurt her." Zhao Shu gave up the threat and walked out.
To outsiders, Zhao Shu's action showed his deep love for Zhu Chunjiao. Even though Zhu Chunjiao was no longer the daughter of the Gu family, Zhao Shu still protected her.
In fact, this was news from the palace, and the emperor's attitude was to protect her.
So, he acted like he was deeply in love, which could not only satisfy his father's wishes, win the favor of the Saint Doctor, and let the Saint Doctor speak well of him in front of his father, but also make everyone think that he was deeply in love.
Why not?
Just thinking about Zhu Chunjiao made him feel a little nauseous.
However, as long as I can ascend to the throne, what does this little disgusting thing matter?
Zhao Shu walked outside and saw someone walking towards him.
He was stunned and his eyes fell on her.
Zhao Shu paused, just blocking the door.
Tang Li had to stop and look at him.
Tang Li naturally recognized Zhao Shu and had no good feelings towards him. The male and female protagonists in this novel were birds of a feather and neither of them was a good person.
"Please make way." Tang Li said.
"We've known each other for more than a year, and you don't even want to say a word to me?" Zhao Shu said, his voice gentle but with a hint of resentment.
Tangli rolled his eyes speechlessly: "We are not familiar with each other."
"Can you please move aside? You're blocking my way." Tang Li said impatiently.
Zhao Shu then made way, and Tang Li walked inside without hesitation.
Zhao Shu glanced at her back and quickly came back to his senses, with a look of loss in his eyes.
How could that kid from the Wu family be worthy of Tang Li?!
He and Tangli still missed each other.
However, once he became emperor, he could get whatever he wanted.
…
Gu Huainian frowned, and only relaxed his brows when he saw Tang Li coming in.
"Little Carp." Gu Huainian called.
His personality was inherently cold, and as the Chief Justice, he appeared even more ruthless and unapproachable, so he usually spoke in a cold tone.
But when he called Tangli, there was a hint of tenderness in his voice.
He has been busy with official duties, and after recognizing his relatives yesterday, he has no time to spend time with his sister.
Gu Huainian looked at Tang Li with gentle eyes.
"What do you want from my brother?"
"Big brother." Tang Li called out.
"Yeah." Gu Huainian responded. His sister's way of calling him "brother" was so nice.
"Brother, how is Zhu Chunjiao's case going?" Tang Li continued to ask.
This is also what worries Gu Huainian.
Zhu Chunjiao refused to plead guilty, Zhu Ergen was also hesitant, and Zhuyue refused to speak no matter how he was tortured.
The case is at a stalemate here.
Gu Huainian is trying to capture the "gangster" who killed the Zhu family. He has some clues now, but it still takes time.
The higher-ups put pressure on him again, and he was afraid that something unexpected might happen before the case was solved.
The longer the time goes, the greater the possibility of unexpected changes.
"Brother, can I meet Zhuyue?" Tangli asked.
As long as there is a breakthrough, Zhu Chunjiao will be finished. Tangli decided to use Zhuyue as this breakthrough point.
"No." Gu Huainian said.
No matter how much Gu Huainian dotes on his sister, it is still inappropriate to let her meet the criminal.
"Brother, I have a way to make Zhuyue speak." Tangli said, "Just a quarter of an hour, okay?"
As soon as Tang Li acted coquettishly, Gu Huainian's cold and hard heart softened and soon relaxed.
Never mind. His sister was originally the biggest victim in this case. Letting the victim meet the criminal doesn't count as blurring the lines between public and private.
Gu Huainian nodded: "Okay."
"But, the prison is cold and damp..." He was a little worried.
And bloody.
He was still worried about his younger sister, a little girl, going in.
"Brother, I'm not afraid." Tang Li said.
Her eyes were firm, she was really not afraid. She had seen all kinds of scenes, so why would she be afraid of this?
Gu Huainian looked at his sister. All the children in their Gu family were very capable. Xiaoli had the blood of the Gu family flowing in her body and was definitely not a delicate flower.
Gu Huainian felt a little sorry for what Tang Li had gone through in recent years, but he also felt that it was a good thing that she was strong enough and would not be hurt.
…
Tang Li was led by Gu Huainian into the Dali Temple's prison.
The prison was cold and damp, and there was a strange smell in the air, as if it was a mixture of blood and rust.
This wasn't Tang Li's first time in jail. She'd been there before when her husband was falsely accused and imprisoned in Hedong County. The Dali Temple's jail was much more gloomy than the Hedong County jail.
There was no expression of fear on her little face.
Gu Huainian stopped in front of a prison. The jailer opened the door and tied up the prisoner inside. Only then did Gu Huainian let Tang Li in.
"Brother, I want to talk to her. Can you wait for me outside for a quarter of an hour?" Tang Li said softly.
Gu Huainian nodded, turned and left.
Tangli walked in.
Tang Li had seen Zhu Yue before; she was a very clean maid with a cold temperament. But now, she was filthy, covered in blood, and looked horrible.
Even under such torture, Zhuyue still didn't give Zhu Chunjiao away, which shows how loyal he is.
It's a pity that her loyalty is a bit foolish.
Zhuyue lay there, with no reaction to Tangli coming in.
Tangli didn't mind the dirtiness of the cell. He found a seat in front of Zhuyue and sat down, looking at her.
"Zhuyue, you are from Wangxian County, right?"
