Ministry of Justice?
Po Yue also appeared in the room: "No! The Ministry of Justice is heavily guarded; you can't just come and go as you please."
Canfeng replied, "I have a solution."
"Lingering wind." Broken Moon's voice was cold.
If they take the princess to the Ministry of Justice and the Emperor finds out, none of them will escape punishment.
Canfeng said, "I'm confident."
"The Ministry of Justice is heavily guarded," Po Yue said coldly.
Canfeng said earnestly, "I am skilled in mechanical arts, so the princess will not be injured."
Po Yue gripped the hilt of her sword and said coldly, "Come outside with me and we'll have a fight."
Yuan Yao: "..."
Seeing that the two might actually fight, Yuan Yao had a headache.
She said, "I want to see that one-eyed man."
One-eyed man?
Those are the Empress Dowager's people!
Although that person was captured and his martial arts skills were crippled, he was still a dangerous individual.
For example, he was able to shoot poison needles in full view of everyone...
His face, hidden beneath the dark mist of the broken moon, was exceptionally serious: "Princess, you are still young, you must be good."
A terrible thought popped into his mind.
He actually felt that the princess was like a little devil...
Yuan Yao wanted to roll her eyes: "Canfeng, let's go."
"yes."
Canfeng reached out, revealing half of her slightly flushed cheek: "Princess, let me carry you."
"Um."
Yuan Yao obediently opened her arms.
Canfeng bent down, holding Yuanyao firmly with one hand, and glanced at Poyue.
After a gust of wind, the two disappeared without a trace.
Po Yue: "..."
Po Yue took a breath and followed.
The Ministry of Justice was located on Shifang Street in the capital.
After leaving the palace and flying for a long time, Canfeng said softly, "Princess, we have arrived."
Yuan Yao opened her eyes.
Canfeng was incredibly skilled in light-footed martial arts, carrying her as they flew. The speed was so great that she felt dizzy and disoriented.
Let's call it "flight sickness" for now.
At this moment, they were standing on a large, lush tree.
Through the dense foliage, the four characters "Ministry of Justice Prison" on the opposite side gleamed with a cold, dark bronze light.
The iron gates of the Ministry of Justice were tall and large, guarded by imperial guards in black iron armor, who changed shifts every two hours.
Even a fly would have a hard time getting in here.
Yuan Yao clutched the tattered hem of her coat and asked, "Are you confident you can get in?"
"Yes." Canfeng nodded.
Yuan Yao's confidence immediately increased.
She asked, "What percentage?"
Canfeng glanced at the gate, then at her: "Twenty percent."
Yuan Yao: "???"
He's probably just teasing her!
With only a 20% chance, why would she go through all that trouble?
She should just go directly to the Minister of Justice and have him take her inside!
Suddenly, the branch swayed slightly.
Yuan Yao and Can Feng turned around at the same time.
Po Yue, holding his sword, stood behind the two, his face shrouded in black mist: "I'll draw them away, you two go first."
Yuan Yao: "..."
These two bodyguards really are like simpletons.
The gate is closed!
To lure away the Imperial Guards, wouldn't you also need a key?
She glanced at the high wall and said to Canfeng, "Fly in, and if you catch it, it's on me."
Surely the Minister of Justice wouldn't kill her...
After thinking for a moment, Canfeng replied, "Flying in is indeed faster and safer than going through the main gate."
Yuan Yao: "..."
I really want to hit someone.
What happened to the promise of only a 20% chance of success?
The secret guards' combat prowess is indeed at the expense of their intelligence!
Canfeng held Yuan Yao firmly as they leaped over the high wall of the Ministry of Justice.
After a short while, Yuan Yao stood in front of the prison cell.
The Ministry of Justice's prison was dark, damp, and filled with an indescribable smell.
Yuan Yao covered her nose and took two steps toward the prison door.
Inside the cell, a layer of dry grass was laid out, and on the grass lay a person.
The man lay limply, and if it weren't for the grass swaying gently in front of his nose, you wouldn't have been able to tell he was still alive...
Yuan Yao said to Can Feng, "Open the cell door."
Open the door?
Canfeng immediately frowned: "Princess, you mustn't."
"It's okay, go ahead and drive," Yuan Yao said.
That person is almost dead; he can't hurt her.
Canfeng hesitated for a moment, then decisively opened the door.
As soon as the cell door opened, Po Yue stepped into the cell before her, picked up the one-eyed man from the ground, and searched him: "No more hidden weapons."
"Hehe..."
The one-eyed creature opened its intact eye and emitted a chilling sound from its throat.
He stared intently at Yuan Yao without blinking.
He asked with his eyes: What brings you here?
Yuan Yao tilted her head back, a slightly cold smile on her face: "Hei Ji, is that your name?"
"Heh heh..." Blackie struggled for a moment.
Yuan Yao looked around the cell and said, "I knew about you back when Si Shi Chun opened."
I also know that you are the Empress Dowager's man, that you have monitored me for her, and that you have even...poisoned me for her."
Heiji, with his dislocated jaw dangling, tried to speak, but couldn't utter a single word.
For the first time, he realized how painful it was to be unable to speak.
He closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, his gaze somewhat fierce: "Heh..."
He asked Yuan Yao what she really wanted to do.
Yuan Yao understood what he meant.
Her clear, bright black eyes swept over Hei Ji, and she ordered Po Yue, "Search him!"
Po Yue held a sword in one hand and groped Hei Ji's body with the other.
If it weren't for the black mist on his face, Yuan Yao would definitely have seen his disdain.
Seeing this, Canfeng said to Yuanyao, "Before the person was brought in, the Ministry of Justice must have already searched him."
Yuan Yao understood, of course.
But what if?
Po Yue searched all over Hei Ji's body, and just when Yuan Yao thought he was going to find nothing, he placed his hand on Hei Ji's inner thigh and paused: "There's something here!"
As he spoke, he flicked the tip of his sword, parted the underpants of the black man, and pulled out a token.
Seeing the token being taken away, Heiji made a strong protesting sound: "Heh heh..."
He hid it so well that even the Ministry of Justice couldn't find it, yet this little girl's people found it!
hateful!
hateful!
Yuan Yao glanced at Hei Ji.
Their eyes met, and Heiji shut his mouth in resentment.
This is a token forged from brass, decorated with intricate patterns and bearing a large character "令" (command/order), with finer characters around it...
After checking the token and confirming that it was not poisoned or contraband, Po Yue took out a snow-white silk handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao took it and squinted at it.
Above, apart from the character "令", the other smaller characters were engraved in an extremely complicated manner, which she could not understand!
Of course, even if she didn't understand, she couldn't show it.
Just now, Heiji's reaction betrayed him.
This thing must be quite important; it seems to belong to some kind of organization...
Yuan Yao picked up the token and held it up in front of Hei Ji, her voice low and cold: "I will find and eradicate all those who want to harm my father and me."
Go in peace, the Empress Dowager will be with you soon..."
Empress Dowager?
Go keep him company?
Heiji's eyes widened: "Hehehe..."
He asked her what she wanted to do.
Yuan Yao smiled slightly: "In the end, we are all the same. There are no absolutely bad people."
We're just on different sides.
My father and I, you and the Empress Dowager, all want to live, but if only two of us can live, then... we'll have to trouble you and the Empress Dowager to go first.
Heiji stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the tiny, soft baby in front of him.
In front of him, Yuan Yao put the token into her purse and said to Canfeng, "Help him restore his dislocated jaw."
Next, it will be the Empress Dowager's turn..."
