Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

Everyone in the hall was enveloped by Ji Zhen's anger and didn't even dare to breathe.

Ji Zhen glanced at everyone coldly, called Lin Jiahuai and asked:

"Did you hear what the princess and Miao Yi said just now?"

Lin Jiahuai nodded quickly and called the chief clerk to show the confession to Ji Zhen. Ji Zhen took a look at it and returned it to Lin Jiahuai. He signaled Ye Feng to release Miao Yi and hand him over to the guards. Then he said to Lin Jiahuai:

"In that case, you will close the case on your own. Report this boy's attempt to murder the princess immediately."

"But, His Majesty is ill, and such a thing might be detrimental to His Majesty's body." Lin Jiahuai was very hesitant.

From the moment Ji Zhen cut open Miao Yi's disguised human skin, Lin Jiahuai realized that this case could not be solved in her Yin Office. Ji Zhen asked her to report it, but not to the Ministry of Justice or the Dali Temple, but directly to the Emperor.

Ji Zhen saw Lin Jiahuai's hesitation, she knew Lin Jiahuai's concerns. But Li Yuanzhen was the princess after all, she was hiding in the East Palace, and only the empress could move to the place where the medicine man was refined.

"Lord Lin, the matter of refining the medicine man is of great importance. The sooner His Majesty knows about it, the better. As the Jingzhao Yin, you have the privilege of reporting directly to His Majesty. If you don't do it now, when will you do it?"

Ji Zhen paused here, glanced at Li Yuanzhen who was surrounded by the crowd, and continued:

"As for the three judicial officials, there is no need to rush. You should report to the emperor first and see what His Majesty thinks."

Lin Jiahuai knew that the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was Li Yuanzhen's man. The Ministry of Justice would receive news of what happened in the hall within an incense stick of time. By then, even if she didn't report it, the people from the Ministry of Justice would come to her door.

So after all the calculations, for Lin Jiahuai, the best way to deal with this hot potato is to report it to the emperor.

Lin Jiahuai nodded silently and finally agreed. After Ji Zhen had given all the instructions, she took Ye Feng away, but just as she reached the door, Lin Jiahuai caught up with her and stopped her. She looked around, considered for a moment, and whispered to Ji Zhen:

"Your Highness, once this matter is reported to the Emperor, I am afraid that the foundation of the country will be shaken. Then, what should we do?"

Ji Zhen raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, patted her lightly on the shoulder, and said with a faint smile:

"Master Lin, we have known each other for a while, so I might as well tell you the truth. At the beginning, I just wanted to find out who stole our army's defense map, and I never thought that those people could bite the truth that the princess secretly made medicine. So I never made any plans, let alone thought about who to support or who to replace.

You and I are just people who receive salaries. I lead my soldiers and you take care of your capital. As for the dispute over the foundation of the country, there are censors and ministers who can advise your majesty. It is not your turn, do you understand? "

At this point, Lin Jiahuai finally understood that Ji Zhen couldn't stand seeing someone using the person she wanted to do evil, but she had no intention of doing it herself to clean up the dirty water. As long as the place where the medicine refiners were hiding in the East Palace was destroyed, she would no longer interfere in these messes in the capital and would return to the northwest.

So Lin Jiahuai took a step back, bowed respectfully and asked:

"When will His Highness return to the northwest?"

Ji Zhen glanced at Lin Jiahuai who was bowing respectfully and laughed. She knew that her judgment was correct. Lin Jiahuai was so smart and knew when to advance and retreat. So she pulled Lin Jiahuai over, patted her hand in a soothing manner, and said:

"I will probably leave after the Yan State delegation leaves the capital. But don't worry, by then, your case will have been closed. I will stay in the palace these days. If you need help, you can come to me directly."

After saying that, Ji Zhen glanced at Ye Hui, who was not far behind her and had been looking at her anxiously, and stretched out her hand to beckon her over, and continued:

"I will leave Doctor Ye to you. I will not take all the people from the East Camp with me. I will leave ten of them for you. Keep an eye on Master Lu and this Miao Yi."

"Mr. Lu's involvement in this case has been clarified. Shouldn't he be released back to the East Palace?"

Lin Jiahuai was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Ji Zhen had no intention of letting Lu Ziyan go.

When Lu Ziyan was mentioned, Ji Zhen's brows, which had just relaxed, frowned again. She patiently explained to Lin Jiahuai:

"The princess is now poisoned. The key to the antidote lies with Miao Yi, but Master Lu's help is needed to make the antidote. Ye Hui has an overview of the matter, and Master Lu's help is indispensable. If His Majesty asks, you can answer truthfully."

"Your Majesty, take your orders."

Lin Jiahuai took the order and left. Ji Zhen gave Ye Hui a few more instructions. After everything was settled, he took Ye Feng and four soldiers from the East Camp and left Yin's office.

In late spring, the roses in the streets and alleys were in full bloom, and the air was filled with a rich sweet fragrance. But Ji Zhen had no mood to appreciate it. Her heart was firmly grasped by Li Yuanzhen's words. Without a moment's delay, she went straight to Zhao Youqing's mansion.

By the evening, the lights were already on in the Qingyan County Prince's Mansion next door, but the Keqing Mansion across the wall was silent, even the lights were dim. Ji Zhen sat on the horse, frowning, and asked Ye Feng to knock on the door.

It was Chaoge who answered the door. He was delighted when he saw Ji Zhen behind Ye Feng.

"Your Highness!" Chaoge walked out with a smile and bowed respectfully to Ji Zhen.

"Where is your father?" Ji Zhen asked loudly.

"The young master is in the study." Chaoge replied respectfully.

"Humph, he's in the study, why are you not serving him? What are you doing in the concierge?"

Ji Zhen got off his horse and ordered two soldiers from the East Camp to guard the door. He walked up to Chaoge and tapped him on the head with the handle of his whip, looking at him and saying:

"to be honest."

Chaoge touched his head and smiled at Ji Zhen:

"Oh, nothing can be hidden from His Highness. In fact, the young master saw that His Highness had been away for a long time, so he sent me to inquire about the news. Coincidentally, I just opened the door and saw His Highness! It seems that the young master's thoughts about His Highness are still useful, and he brought him back with just one thought!"

"Grumpy."

Ji Zhen took a step away in disgust and threw the whip in his hand to Ye Feng.

Chaoge followed Ji Zhen with a smile, leading the way and saying:

"Your Highness, you don't know this. These days, Your Highness has been busy all the time. The young master has been alone in the mansion, not going anywhere. He has been waiting for Your Highness to come back so eagerly that he is almost sick of waiting for his wife!"

As Chaoge spoke, he gestured with his hands and feet, and finally made Ji Zhen laugh, and the gloom between his brows slightly dissipated. But then he thought of something and turned to Chaoge and asked:

"Why, is your master free recently? Does he not have to go to Princess Xianyao's mansion?"

"Why go to the princess's mansion? Didn't you order Princess Xian Yao to stay at home? She is so angry that she curses her mother every day and doesn't discuss matters at all."

Chaoge never liked Li Yuanying, and when he talked about her bad luck, he couldn't help but get excited. But Ji Zhen stopped, frowned, looked at Chaoge and asked:

"Where did you hear that? I never gave such an order."

"But, that's what people say outside. They also say... the princess is incompetent and immoral. She made a mistake and was caught by you. I'm afraid she will be deposed. From now on, Nanyue will change her surname to Ji..."
