After entering the prison, Tao Yuwei reacted quickly and found a room for the Xiao Yuwei to rest and sat down before Liu Zuoyi had someone take her away for interrogation.
Liu Zuoyi was furious when he saw it.
"Princess Anle, please follow me to the interrogation room next door. This is not the place for you."
Facing Liu Zuoyi's dominance, Tao Yuwei looked at him coldly.
"You're just a small-time commander. First, you don't have an imperial edict, and second, you don't have an arrest warrant. Don't be a madman in front of this princess. Go get someone who can talk."
Her words hurt Liu Zuoyi's heart.
He was so angry that he pulled out the sword of the guard following behind him and pointed it at her.
"The Xiaoyu Guards are investigating this case, and this is a special authorization granted by the Emperor. Princess Anle, you have disregarded the laws of the land. What is your punishment?"
Tao Yuwei looked at the sharp sword tip pointing at her and lowered her eyes slightly. No one saw the emotion in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she raised her head, and her lively phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent.
She unconsciously extended her right index finger and lightly touched the sword. The sword pointing at her was cut off and fell to the ground.
This action left Liu Zuoyi and Xiao Wei behind him dumbfounded.
She was telling them through her actions that her skills were superior to theirs and that they shouldn't even think about making any rash moves.
"Imperial permission? As a Xiaoyu Guard, it seems you haven't done your homework properly."
Tao Yuwei praised him sarcastically, "After the palace banquet two years ago, the Jinyiwei was changed to Xiaoyuwei. This princess also has the so-called imperial privilege you mentioned."
She pulled off a pair of jade pendants with dragon patterns hanging on her body and held them in her hand.
Emperor Jianchang was attacked by an assassin from the northern barbarians. At the critical moment, none of his imperial guards or the secret service agency Jinyiwei rescued him in time.
It was the original owner, who was only ten years old, who was full of passion and bravely stepped forward to save the emperor's life.
In order to thank her, the Jinyiwei was changed to Xiaoyuwei, and she was specially given a jade pendant with dragon pattern, which was like holding an imperial sword in hand, protecting her at critical moments.
This was also the promise Emperor Jianchang made to her.
When Liu Zuoyi saw the jade pendant, his face changed drastically. With a clang, he threw the half-broken sword in his hand to the ground, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to him, pulling the little guard behind him.
"Long live our emperor!"
With his forehead touching the ground, Liu Zuoyi was extremely anxious. It was all over. He was careless. He shouldn't have listened to that man and used his power for personal gain, deliberately looking for trouble with Princess Anle.
Having offended someone he shouldn't have offended, it might be difficult for him to get away with it today.
Xiao Yuwei? Tao Yuwei? He's such a fool.
Your Majesty is so obviously protecting Princess Anle, why did he come here so foolishly?
The Huo family, the Minister of Works, holds a prominent position in the imperial city, and they have a concubine who is extremely powerful.
But they only dare to use him to plot against others. What does this mean?
This shows that the Huo family and Concubine Huo's party did not dare to openly cause trouble for Princess Anle.
After figuring all this out, Liu Zuoyi was so frightened that he trembled with fear. He no longer had the same aura he had in the General's Mansion.
Tao Yuwei looked at the person kneeling at her feet with a smile on her lips.
"Today, you have no evidence whatsoever, yet you dared to bring this princess to the Prison Administration Office. It seems you have some serious plans."
"I wonder who is the master behind you? Tell me so that I can see how powerful he is."
In the mansion, she could choose not to follow, but thinking that she had been bullied to the extreme, she had to let His Majesty know first that she was being wronged.
As for the rest, she can do whatever she needs to do. With His Majesty backing her up, she has nothing to be afraid of.
Sweat quickly broke out on Liu Zuoyi's forehead.
He kept complaining in his heart.
He couldn't give that person up. Even if he did, that person would never let his family go.
Tao Yuwei put away the jade pendant and did not let anyone stand up.
If it weren't for this person, the news of her being arrested and imprisoned in the prison would not have spread.
She wanted to take this opportunity to see who would jump out first and plot all this around the General's Mansion with ulterior motives.
Although the fishing process is boring and painful, she doesn't mind and has plenty of patience.
Kill them one by one if they jump out. If a group of them jump out, kill them all. Put them all in the oil pan and fry them until they are crispy.
Liu Zuoyi trembled as he defended himself righteously, "Princess Anle, there's no need to threaten me. I act impartially, and there's no one behind me as you say."
"If you keep talking so hard, don't blame me for being rude."
A storm gathered in Tao Yuwei's beautiful phoenix eyes.
[What a guy with no one behind him. Why did he accept the gift from the Huo family at the Minister of Works' residence last night?]
[Let me see why you're associated with the Huo family. So that's why!]
As Xiao Lichen was pushed into the door in a wheelchair, he clearly heard Tao Yuwei's thoughts.
Huo family?
He has already sent more people to investigate all traces of the Huo family over the years.
The person who had been sent out had not returned yet, and in his heart, he was still not sure about the authenticity of the information brought by Princess Anle.
As his subordinate in Xiaoyuwei, Liu Zuoyi is one of His Majesty's confidants. He has been law-abiding for many years. How could he secretly defect to Shangshu Huo?
[No wonder this man works for the Huo family. His daughter is secretly having an affair with the Huo family's son and is already pregnant with Huo Xiujie's child.]
Huo Xiujie didn't want to take responsibility. He threatened me with all sorts of threats, but he ended up making a condition: if I agreed to find a reason to arrest me and take me to the prison, he would agree to marry his daughter.
In order to make him willingly work for the Huo family, Master Huo sent someone to deliver a letter of commitment. Once the matter was completed, not only would he marry his daughter, but he would also help him get a promotion and transfer him to the Ministry of War as a minister.
[The letter of commitment given to him by the Huo family was hidden in his arms.]
