Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous
Chapter 72 1 Lighting Incense
What the man didn't expect was that both the front and back doors in the dungeon were opened.
On one side, guards were escorting a man limp on the ground, and on the other side were Princess Xianyao Li Yuanying and Crown Princess Li Yuanzhen.
As soon as Li Yuanying saw Ji Zhen open the door, she immediately strode towards her and asked loudly:
"Ji Zhen! How dare you close the door in front of me? What shameful things are you doing with that man behind my and my sister's backs?"
Li Yuanzhen, who was following behind Li Yuanying, had a gloomy face and kept his eyes fixed on Lu Ziyan.
However, Lu Ziyan did not look at her. As soon as he entered the dungeon, Ji Zhen signaled him to be locked up in the cell closest to the execution hall. He heard every word of Ji Zhen's interrogation just now, and even saw the man's vague gaze drifting towards him.
But he did not move. He just straightened his clothes and knelt upright on the hay on the ground.
"Qingyan, why are you imprisoning my prince?" Li Yuanzhen's voice was low and full of pressure.
Ji Zhen glanced at Li Yuanzhen and Li Yuanying, bowed respectfully and said:
"Your Highness, Princess, Your Highness, Xian Yao."
Ji Zhen took the two of them into the dungeon. Li Yuanying's anger was still not over, but she saw her own assassin lying on the ground in a heap, and she was immediately frightened.
His face turned pale, his eyes widened, and even his mouth closed, which made Ji Zhen smile coldly.
But Li Yuanzhen ignored the man lying on the ground. She only glanced at the man tied to the rack and then fell on Lu Ziyan.
She stood in front of the prison door, looking extremely distressed, and asked Lu Ziyan through the prison door:
"Zi Yan, are you okay?"
Lu Ziyan remained silent as usual, but Li Yuanzhen seemed unable to bear it and turned around and attacked Ji Zhen directly:
"Prince Qingyan!"
"I'm your humble servant." Ji Zhen bowed calmly.
"I'll ask you again, why is my prince in your dungeon? Why don't you release him quickly? Are you trying to offend me?"
"I dare not." Ji Zhen bowed deeply, very respectfully, and said, "But yesterday, a big case happened in my house, and Master Lu was involved, so I had to deal with it impartially according to the laws of Nanyue. Master Lu will be detained here first."
"Major case? What major case can't be handed over to Jingzhao Yin for trial? Why are you using lynching in your dungeon?"
Li Yuanzhen held his chin high, not taking a step back, and kept his eyes fixed on Ji Zhen. His cold and imposing aura made people feel cold all over.
But Ji Zhen didn't care. She looked at Li Yuanying and said with a smile:
"Originally, I thought about letting the Jingzhao Yin try the case. However, this case involves too many people, and I'm afraid that the Jingzhao Yin alone can't do it. If that happens, it will alert His Majesty the Emperor. I wonder if you two can handle it?"
"Qingyan, how dare you threaten me with the Queen Mother?"
Li Yuanzhen frowned, and looked at Ji Zhen with a murderous look in his eyes. Li Yuanying immediately interrupted the dangerous spark between the two and said:
"Royal sister, since she has taken everything, why not ask her what is going on?"
Ji Zhen knew that Li Yuanying was a brainless person. When she didn't know anything before, she might have followed Li Yuanzhen to make trouble for the medical treatment and said a few words. But now that she saw the assassin she had pulled out, she probably had no other thoughts in her mind except to protect herself. It would be strange if she was willing to see Jingzhao Yin!
Li Yuanzhen naturally noticed Li Yuanying's weirdness, but she didn't want to care about it now. She just insisted that Ji Zhen release Lu Ziyan.
Ji Zhen's eyes vaguely swept over the female official standing behind Li Yuanzhen. She smiled and shook her head, then bowed to Li Yuanzhen and said:
"Your Highness, I'm sorry that I can't obey your order. This case is of great importance. According to the law, Master Lu cannot be released. I hope Your Highness will understand."
"According to the law?" Li Yuanzhen sneered twice as if he had heard a joke, and said:
"Qingyan, you are telling me about the laws of Nanyue in your private prison in the palace? Isn't that too funny?"
Ji Zhen raised her eyebrows. That was true. She really couldn't refute that. So she ordered the guards to open the cell door and release Lu Ziyan.
Looking at Lu Ziyan who walked silently to Li Yuanzhen's side, Ji Zhen asked Li Yuanzhen to sit at the table in the criminal hall and said calmly:
"Your Highness, please take a seat."
"Humph."
Li Yuanzhen glared at Ji Zhen and pulled Lu Ziyan to sit at the top. The female official then stood beside Lu Ziyan, completely blocking him from Ji Zhen's sight.
Ji Zhen saw this and just smiled, but Li Yuanying, whose seat was taken, was unhappy. She angrily shouted at the guard:
"You are such a tactless person. Can't you see that I am still standing? Why don't you go get a chair?
"I was negligent and neglected the princess. I beg the princess to forgive me."
Ji Zhen stopped the guard and signaled him to bring the chair he was sitting on for Li Yuanying to sit on. The guard took the order and moved it. After putting it in place, Li Yuanying suddenly realized that the place where she was sitting was directly facing her dead man who was lying limp on the ground.
Li Yuanying broke out in a sweat immediately. She quickly took out her handkerchief and wiped it again and again, fearing that any flaws would be revealed.
At this moment, Ji Zhen whispered to Ye Hui beside her. She crushed a pill with her hands and sprinkled it into the large brazier used for lighting in the torture hall.
A strange fragrance quickly spread. It was fresh and elegant, very pleasant. Li Yuanying couldn't help but take a deep breath, and found that after the fragrance entered her nose, it went down her lungs, circulated twice, and then disappeared. She felt much more relaxed, and even wanted to take another breath.
But when she raised her head and wanted to take another sip, the female official next to her pulled her sleeve.
"Your Highness, be careful. This fragrance is very strange. Don't take deep breaths and inhale too much!" the female official reminded in a low voice.
The female official standing next to Lu Ziyan also immediately walked to Li Yuanzhen's side and whispered to her. Ji Zhen thought, maybe it was the same thing.
Sure enough, after hearing what the female official said, Li Yuanzhen immediately covered Lu Ziyan's mouth and nose, and looked at Ji Zhen with anger in his eyes. Li Yuanying was completely unable to keep her composure and cursed loudly:
"Ji Zhen, what are you doing to harm people again? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because I'm in your house!
"How dare you."
Ji Zhen bowed to Li Yuanzhen and Li Yuanying seriously, pointed at Ye Hui, and said:
"What I just burned was something to calm the mind. If you don't believe me, this is my medical officer. I can ask her to explain it to you."
Li Yuanying didn't want to listen to Ji Zhen's nonsense. She actually liked the smell, but the female official reminded her not to inhale it, so she half held her breath and spoke to Ji Zhen carefully. She was already very annoyed, so how could she want to listen to the medical officer's explanation? She immediately waved to Ye Hui and said:
"Get lost, are you worthy enough to talk to me?"
