439 Complaint
Ning Yue shook her head. “Forget it. I promised your brother that I wouldn’t tell anyone that Yuan Kai came here to seek treatment.”
Jiang Ying smiled. “Alright, you’ve had a long day. Rest well. I’ll visit you tomorrow.”
“Alright, be careful on the way back,” Ning Yue said.
Just like that, Ning Yue slept peacefully for the night. The next day, the Inspector of Nine Gates arrived.
“Lord Ma, I welcome you as a guest, but why did you bring so many people to my residence?” Ning Yue asked Ma Ling coldly.
Ma Ling was very embarrassed. “Princess, I didn’t want to either. It was because a commoner went to the supreme court to complain. The emperor was discussing some things with the minister of the supreme court at that time. When he heard that unruly commoner complain, he was worried about your safety and asked me to escort you.”
Ning Yue looked at the scene in front of her and couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes. Was this surveillance? Did the emperor ask the Nine Gate Inspectors to come over because he was afraid that they would escape?
“Did he say who was involved?” Ning Yue asked.
“It’s like this. That commoner accused the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence of killing his family. He wants him to pay with his life,” the Nine Gate Inspector said.
Hearing this, Ning Yue frowned tightly. Wasn’t this talking about her grandfather?
Didn’t the emperor say that he would let her and Jiang Ying investigate this matter and he would handle the rest?
Why was someone suddenly complaining now? They had not received any news before this.
Ning Yue firmly believed that there must be a huge force behind the complainer.
“Looks like there’s no clear indication of who should go over. I’ll go over then. Grandpa, stay at home and wait for me.” Ning Yue turned to Old Master Ning and said.
“How can that do? This matter started because of me. I want to go with you.” Old Master Ning wanted to stop Ning Yue.
Ning Yue sighed and whispered in the old man’s ear, “Grandpa, the emperor didn’t say who to go to the supreme court. I’m the princess of Russia. They won’t dare to do anything to me. If you go, it’s hard to say.” How could she let her grandfather take the risk?
Old Master Ning still wanted to go with Ning Yue. She thought for a moment and looked at Ning Chen. “Grandpa, if you’re really worried, let Second Uncle go with me.”
“That’s right, Father. Rest at home. I’ll go with Yueyue. I’m a general with contributions. They won’t dare to do anything to me. Wait for our news at home,” Ning Chen said.
After everyone’s consolation, Old Master Ning finally nodded in agreement.
“You have to be careful. If I still don’t see you back in an hour, I’ll look for you,” Old Master Ning said.
“Alright, Grandpa. Wait for us at home.” With that, Ning Yue went to the supreme court with Ning Chen.
When they arrived at the supreme court, the emperor was sitting on the high platform. Ning Yue and Ning Chen walked to the high hall and bowed to the emperor before looking at the person lying on the ground.
For some reason, he was trembling. He should have just been kneeling, but he was too weak to support himself. He sprawled on the ground.
“Who are you two?” the minister asked.
The court official knew Ning Yue and Ning Chen, but there was a trial process. He had to ask them for their names, so that the person lying on the ground would know who the two people standing beside them were.
“I’m Princess Mingyue. He’s General Ning Chen,” Ning Yue said briefly.
The person lying on the ground suddenly became very agitated. “You’re Princess Mingyue. You’re General Ning. You two evil people! You actually killed my brother. Give my brother back his life.”
That person was very agitated. He stood up and was about to pounce on Ning Yue when the emperor signaled the guards to stop him.
“Silence, how can we tolerate you touching others in court? Even if you’re wronged, you have to restrain yourself! Please believe that our supreme court won’t wrong any good people or let any bad people off!”
The actions of the person in front of her made Ning Yue very speechless. They had yet to prove that the crime was related to the Marquis Dingyuan’s Residence. Why was he so sure that they were the criminals?
