After so many years, Qin Shuhuai finally got to touch that person again. He couldn't help but indulge himself. By the time he went to bed, it was almost dawn.

Qin Peng got up, and Qin Shuhuai tried to pull her up in a daze. He felt dizzy and couldn't think of anything. She looked at him in such a daze and said softly, "You go to sleep first, I'll go take a shower."

Qin Shuhuai responded and slowly fell asleep.

Qin Peng went to the side room to take a shower, then put on his clothes and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Jiang Chun who was keeping watch. Jiang Chun looked unhappy and said respectfully, "Princess."

Qin Peng nodded and walked out. Jiang Chun looked at the direction Qin Peng walked out and realized that something was wrong. He hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Princess, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm?" Qin Peng paused: "Didn't Lu Xiu send someone to arrest me? I've slept enough, I can leave now."

"Princess..." Jiang Chun was speechless for a moment. Qin Peng pushed him and said, "Go back and say you fell asleep and didn't see me."

Jiang Chun didn't move, and Qin Peng couldn't help laughing: "You also want me to go, don't you? If I don't go, Qin Shuhuai will have to bear the reputation of being partial and perverting the law, which will not be good in the end. In fact, it's not a big deal. How dare Lu Xiu touch a hair on my body?"

"They just want to provoke Qin Shuhuai to stop."

Qin Peng's eyes were cold as he looked out the door and spoke calmly, "When he wakes up later, help me stop him from doing stupid things. Since I've already gone in, I can't go in for nothing. Let him clear his mind."

After saying that, Qin Peng walked out.

It was still dark at this moment. When Qin Peng arrived at the gate, he saw two groups of people confronting each other. The soldiers of the Wei Mansion were standing in front, and Lu Xiu led his soldiers to confront the soldiers of the Wei Mansion head-on.

Qin Peng opened the door and went out. There was a commotion immediately. Everyone knelt down. Wei Ling, the chief guard of the Wei Mansion, came forward and asked respectfully, "Princess, how did you get out?"

"I heard from Lord Lu that I was suspected of murder, so I came out to take a look."

Qin Peng, wearing a fiery red robe and with his arms around his chest, walked in front of Lu Xiu. Lu Xiu knelt on the ground with a calm face. Qin Peng looked down at him and said in a voice so soft that it seemed to drip water: "Master Lu, you said that I killed someone, where is the evidence?"

"Before Miss Liu was murdered, she reported the case to the Dali Temple and directly pointed out that the princess was the murderer. Other evidence is still under investigation. The princess was sent to the Dali Temple just because she was a suspect. It was just a routine matter. If the princess is indeed innocent, I cannot make things difficult for you. What do you think?"

Lu Xiu smiled and raised her head: "Princess, are you unwilling to go or are you afraid to go?"

This question was a tricky one. Qin Peng chuckled and stood up and said, "Since Lord Lu has said so much, if I still don't go, wouldn't it be guilty? But Lord Lu, please think about it. I am weak and cannot bear the slightest punishment. Do you understand?"

"Princess, rest assured," Lu Xiu said respectfully, "The Dali Temple never does things like torture to extract confessions."

As he spoke, Lu Xiu made a "please" gesture and said calmly, "Princess, please."

Qin Peng nodded and walked forward in the direction Lu Xiu pointed.

Wei Ling frowned and couldn't help but called out, "Princess!"

Qin Peng turned to look at him and said calmly, "The clear ones are clear and the turbid ones are turbid. You don't have to worry. Take good care of the old lady and don't let these things bother her."

After saying that, Qin Peng raised her hands and had someone put handcuffs and shackles on her, and then she was put on the torture cart like a prisoner.

What the Dali Temple brought was a cage-like prison cart, the same kind used to imprison ordinary people. It was indeed a means of transportation for arresting suspects. However, generally speaking, the Dali Temple handled cases involving royal relatives, so they would give them some face and directly put the royal relatives into the prison cart. This was almost always the case, as they would only do so if the case was almost certain to be won.

Even if they were almost certain to win, they would not necessarily do such a thing to embarrass the royal family.

However, what Lu Xiu brought today was a prison car that humiliated Qin Peng. Everyone present knew that Lu Xiu was deliberately humiliating him. But according to the law, the rules were like this, so there was nothing to blame.

Qin Peng knew it, but she didn't get angry. She got on the carriage with a smile on her face, sat cross-legged, and raised her hand to Lu Xiu, saying, "Master Lu, please."

With such an upright attitude, she did not show any embarrassment while sitting in the prison car. Instead, she had the demeanor of a celebrity that was admired by people of her time.

Lu Xiu's eyes darkened, but she still said respectfully, "The good carriages in the Dali Temple are all broken. Princess, please make do with them."

"Well, then I'll ask the Wei government to donate a few carriages to the Dali Temple. What do you think, Lord Lu?"

“That’s not the norm.”

Lu Xiu flatly refused, and Qin Peng mocked him, "Since it is against the rules, why bother pretending to be nice, Lord Lu? Let's go."

Lu Xiu was furious at Qin Peng's retort, but she managed to control herself, pursed her lips, and asked everyone to leave.

The Wei family wanted to follow, but were stopped by Qin Peng's eyes.

Qin Peng sat upright in the prison car. The sky gradually brightened. Some people began to work, and when they saw Qin Peng sitting in the prison car, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Qin Peng closed her eyes and didn't look at the faces of those people. Lu Xiu rode to Qin Peng's side and asked gently, "Princess, do you feel embarrassed?"

Qin Peng said nothing. Lu Xiu sighed and said, "It's like this for all prisoners. It's even harder in prison. I'm afraid the princess has never suffered so much in her life."

"What do you want to say?"

Qin Peng raised his eyes to look at him, and Lu Xiu narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Princess, in order to arrest you and put you in jail, if you don't want to, you need a warrant from the Regent or His Majesty. His Majesty will naturally not give it. As long as the Regent doesn't approve, no one can arrest you if you don't want to."

"so what?"

Qin Peng raised his eyebrows: "You want me to ask Qin Shuhuai not to approve this arrest warrant?"

"I am doing this for the princess's sake," Lu Xiu sighed and said with a kind-hearted look, "I'm sure the princess doesn't want to suffer this, right?"

"Lu Xiu," Qin Peng held his chin in his hand, "Do you think that the Dali Temple is completely under your control?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiu froze: "What do you mean?"

"Master Lu, have you ever thought that among the many people in the Dali Temple, there might be one person who is not under your control?"

"Maybe he's been waiting for you to leave. So he's lurking around you, watching you, seeing your mistakes."

"Of course, a minor mistake is not enough to bring down a Supreme Court Justice, but what if it is a crime like torturing the Princess of Zhen State?"

"Princess, you are joking," Lu Xiu's eyes were a little cold: "How could I possibly torture Your Highness?"

"Yes," Qin Peng leaned against the railing and looked at him provocatively, "Do you dare to do anything to me? Lu Xiu, I hope you can do something to me. After all, it's time to change the position of Dali Temple Minister."

Lu Xiu stopped talking, and there was no warmth in his eyes anymore.

At this moment, they arrived at the Dali Temple prison. The people outside stopped the carriage and opened the cage. Qin Peng walked out of the cage, looked at Lu Xiu's appearance, and said gently: "Lord Lu, would you consider torturing me? How about starting with the lightest punishment, such as flogging?"

"The princess is joking."

Lu Xiu said calmly, "I dare not."

Qin Peng smiled and approached him, whispering in his ear: "You don't dare to do anything, and you still expect me to be afraid of you? Don't fucking dream!"

Lu Xiu said nothing, but raised her head and looked at Qin Peng, her eyes full of murderous intent.

Qin Peng laughed out loud, turned around and walked towards the prison.

Her words planted the seeds in Lu Xiu's heart. Now the two sides were facing off, and it all depended on who could catch whom. Lu Xiu was the Chief Justice of Dali Temple, and he could certainly cause trouble for Qin Peng legally and reasonably within the scope of his influence. However, if there were Qin Peng's people in the Dali Temple, everything he did would be exposed.

Every wound and every mark on Qin Peng's body would be evidence of his torture of her.

Before he could figure out whether there were outsiders in the Dali Temple, he had no information and dared not torture Qin Peng.

Qin Peng naturally knew this, so he followed Lu Xiu with confidence.

Qin Shuhuai was too concerned and could not bear to see her suffer any injustice. He did not want her to endure such humiliation as sitting in a prison car.

However, for Qin Peng, the most important thing is how to achieve the greatest benefit with the lowest cost.

Zhang Ying and others set a trap for her and are now relying on legal provisions to restrain her.

Then she could naturally follow the law and restrain Lu Xiu from doing anything against the law to her.

As long as they didn't resort to lynching, they would have time to find new evidence.

Qin Peng walked into the cell openly. This cell was no different from an ordinary cell, with a hard stone bed and a smelly quilt. Qin Peng threw the quilt aside and sat on the stone bed. Looking at Lu Xiu who looked unhappy outside, he waved his hand and said, "That's enough. No need to wait on me. Go down."

Lu Xiu took a deep breath, bowed and said, "Princess, please have a good rest. I will take my leave."

After saying this, Lu Xiu left two people to guard Qin Peng and then walked away.

Not long after Lu Xiu left, a man in a crimson official robe hurried in.

"Princess," the man asked anxiously, "Why are you here?"

"Master Zuo," Qin Peng raised his head with a smile, "I will depend on you to take care of me in the near future."

Zuo Yao, the Deputy Minister of Dali Temple, was the position Qin Peng and Qin Shuhuai requested and placed people in it, and now it has finally come into play.

Zuo Yao couldn't help but sigh when he saw Qin Peng smiling as usual.

"It seems that the princess has her own plans in mind."

"I'm planning for you." Qin Peng stood up, walked to the front of the cell, and patted Zuo Yao on the shoulder: "Master Zuo, the day of your promotion has come."

While Qin Peng was struggling in the Dali Temple, Qin Shuhuai woke up on the other side.

When he woke up and found Qin Peng was not there, he felt something was wrong.

He immediately stood up, called Jiang Chun out, and asked coldly, "Where is the princess?"

"I didn't see it." Jiang Chun knelt on the ground with his head down. Qin Shuhuai sneered and said directly: "Go and get twenty lashes. You still lied to me?"

Jiang Chun responded sullenly but did not leave. Qin Shuhuai put on his clothes and ran out without caring about him.

Jiang Chun raised his voice: "Prince, the princess said, don't let her fail at the last moment."

"I knew she would say that!"

Qin Shuhuai turned his head suddenly and growled, "Get out of here and get punished!"

Jiang Chun knew that Qin Shuhuai was really angry, so he didn't dare to say anything and retreated.

Qin Shuhuai hurried out, and Zhao Yi followed him and said calmly: "The princess is now in prison. Our headquarters can force her out."

Not approving the arrest warrant would be against the law and morality, and would damage his reputation. Snatching someone directly from prison would be exceeding his authority.

Qin Shuhuai was the regent, but each department had its own duties. If he wanted to recommend someone, he had to get the approval of the Dali Temple. After all, he was not the emperor. Even if he was the emperor, he would have to consider the people of Yu Shitai and follow the rules.

Qin Shuhuai also understood the seriousness of the matter. He quickly ordered people to pack quilts, spare clothes and other necessities, asked someone to ask for leave from Qin Ming, and hurried to the Tianlao.

When they arrived at the prison, Zuo Yao had already finished his words and left. Qin Shuhuai took the token of the Regent King and forced his way in, stopping in front of Qin Peng.

Qin Peng was sitting on the stone bed counting straws in boredom. When she heard the voices of many people coming in, she knew that it was Qin Shuhuai. She raised her head quickly, looked at Qin Shuhuai with a pair of sparkling eyes, and said happily: "You are finally here, did you bring the quilt?"

"I brought it." Qin Shuhuai's face was calm. He asked someone to open the door of the cell and let someone go in to clean the room for Qin Peng.

After a while, the room was cleaned and the maids began to make the bed for Qin Peng.

Qin Peng looked at Qin Shuhuai's indifferent expression and couldn't help but ask, "Are you angry?"

"Shouldn't I be angry?" Qin Shuhuai looked at her coldly: "You did all that last night just to deceive me, right?"

He knew Qin Peng's character clearly. She was always unwilling to implicate others. If she knew all this, she would definitely run away and get arrested on her own initiative.

Lu Xiu arrested her, but he actually didn't dare to do anything. If he really dared to do something, Qin Shuhuai could guarantee that Yu Shitai would immediately put Lu Xiu in jail.

However, it is indeed possible to make Qin Peng uncomfortable by doing some tricks.

He knew that she would not drag anyone down, so he had been on guard for a long time, but she did something he could not expect. He was confused and infatuated, so she took the opportunity to drug him and made it impossible for him to wake up in the morning.

Qin Shuhuai became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He couldn't help but laugh and nodded, saying, "Qin Peng, you are really capable."

Qin Peng knew that she was wrong first. She raised her hand, touched her nose, and said embarrassedly: "I am doing this for the good of both of us. Yours is mine, and mine is yours. You feel bad when you see me being a prison car, so I feel even more bad when I see you ruining a good situation for me, right?"

Qin Shuhuai said nothing, but pursed his lips, but his expression softened significantly.

He always likes to hear nice things.

Qin Peng noticed his change of mood, pulled his hand over, put it in his palm, and expressed his feelings more vigorously: "I also feel sorry for you, and I don't want you to be wronged. If you are wronged, I will feel like you will be cut into pieces, burned to death, and dismembered at high speed..."

"Qin Peng," Qin Shuhuai looked up at her, "Why didn't I realize you were so poor before?"

"Every word I say is true, from the bottom of my heart!"

Qin Peng swore solemnly.

Qin Shuhuai looked at her fearless look and couldn't get angry anymore. He sighed and said helplessly, "I will rescue you as soon as possible. Don't act like a demon."

"You can save me," Qin Peng said seriously, "but don't do that."

Qin Shuhuai: "..."

Qin Peng bent down and kissed his hand that she was holding.

His hands are very beautiful, with distinct joints. He plays with them in his hands like they are works of art.

She lowered her eyes and whispered, "Whether it's finding evidence or setting a trap, don't give anyone a reason to blame me and waste my days in jail."

"Got it." Qin Shuhuai responded. Seeing that everything was packed, he didn't waste any more words with her. He raised his hand and hugged her, saying to her, "Have a good vacation. I'm leaving now."

"well??"

Qin Shuhuai walked so fast that Qin Peng was a little unprepared: "Don't you want to chat for a while?"

Qin Shuhuai was angry and reluctant to leave her, thinking that this person was extremely willful.

But he would never leave her alone, so he just said, "I'm going to go check on Liu Shiyun's body, you take a rest."

Seeing that it was serious business, Qin Peng did not interrupt and nodded, saying, "Okay, come pick me up earlier."

"rest assured."

Qin Shuhuai responded and then led the man out of the prison.

Walking on the corridor, Qin Shuhuai thought, according to Liu Shiyun's personality, she would never make a suicide attack, and if she did so, she would probably kill Qin Peng face to face. So this corpse must not be Liu Shiyun.

As long as he can prove that the body is not Liu Shiyun's, the matter will be over.
