The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

The emperor didn't say anything nonsense to her, and raised his hand, "I, agree. If what you said is true, I will execute the queen. This will also be an explanation to Su Wan."

Su Rou bowed again, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

After leaving the emperor's bedroom, Su Rou led the soldiers from the general's mansion directly to the prison.

The light in the prison was dim, the flames on the wall were dancing happily, and Su Rou was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed.

She was holding an apple in her hand and looking at the jailer who was brought to her by the soldiers, with her hands folded on her chest, looking defiant.

"I went to the prison specifically to inquire. The Queen sent someone over when you were on duty. Did you see what happened inside?"

The jailer shook his head. "I... I didn't see anything. They told me to leave at that time... I didn't come in until they left..."

Su Rou took a bite of the apple in her hand and said, "Didn't you see it? But I asked other prisoners, and they all said you were watching from the side."

The jailer kowtowed and begged for mercy. "I was really sent away at the time and I don't know anything! If you suspect me, you should have found evidence. How can you question me just because of the words of a few prisoners?"

Su Rou curled her lips and smiled. "You're quite tough, but I've been imprisoned here before. I'm familiar with a few of the prisoners here. Tell me, should I trust them or you?"

Because of the old woman, all the prisoners in this place knew her.

She had already confirmed this with them when she brought people here just now.

Although the old woman wasn't very useful, she was still somewhat useful. She had quite a few connections among the prisoners in the prison...

The jailer knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her, "Sir, I really don't know."

Su Rou sighed softly. The jailer was indeed very tight-lipped. Even if he did see the people sent by the Queen entering the prison, there was no way to confirm that he saw them molesting A Niang.

Unfortunately, the testimonies of the criminals who witnessed the incident were not very convincing...

Su Rou said, "I have something I would like to ask you for a favor. Come with me to testify before the Emperor."

The jailer was so frightened that he quickly shook his head. "If you need witnesses, you can call those prisoners. I... I really don't know anything."

Well, Su Rou was now certain that the jailer must have known what happened inside, but the queen had told him in advance.

So now I refuse to admit it...

Su Rou took advantage of the situation and pulled out the long sword carried by the soldier beside her. "You are helping the Queen to escape the blame. You deserve to be killed."

She raised her long knife and was about to kill the jailer.

The next second, Su Rou discovered that a pool of liquid was gradually spreading under the soldier.

Well... he was scared to death.

When the sharp blade of the long knife was only a finger away from the jailer's head, the jailer suddenly cried out.

"I am willing to testify for you, sir, but I have one condition."

Su Rou found it interesting, so she retracted the knife and put it on her shoulder.

Although she didn't have much flesh on her wrists, her strength was decisive and quick.

Just now, he didn't even give the other party a chance to hesitate.

"Tell me about it? You actually have the guts to make conditions with me."

The jailer said, "I didn't mean to hide this from you, sir. The Empress said that if I hadn't deceived the censor who came to question me, I and my family would have died... If you would, sir, please come forward to protect my wife, children, and mother."

Su Rou sat back down on the chair and replaced the long sword. "Okay, you're wise to join me. If you continue to choose the Queen, she won't be able to protect your family and their safety for the rest of their lives."

Su Rou reached an agreement with the jailer. When she came out, it was terribly quiet outside. It was already late at night.

Su Rou went straight back home.

She looked tired and a little exhausted, so she quickly washed up and went to bed.

As soon as she stepped into the general's mansion, the maid came up quickly and said, "Miss, a gentleman has come... He's... he's looking for you. He's unarmed, so the master let him in."

Su Rou yawned and then realized that the lights in the main hall of the front yard were still brightly on.

"Who? Which sir?"

The maid said with some embarrassment, "It's the Censor."

Su Rou was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but since the censor had come, it would be inappropriate for her not to see him.

The maid lowered her voice and glanced into the room, "The censor has been here all afternoon, but he hasn't seen you come back yet, and he's still waiting..."

Su Rou said, "I'll go take a look. Please prepare some cakes and tea for me and send them to the main hall."

The lights in the main hall flickered. Su Rou pushed the door open and saw Su Chong leaning drowsily on the armchair. He was awakened by the noise of her opening the door and immediately sat up in shock.

"Little sister, you're back."

Su Rou bowed respectfully, "Your Excellency the Censor, you've been waiting for me for so long, but do you have something important to tell me?"

The censor was a middle-aged official with a goatee. He looked very unattractive, and Su Rou didn't like him anyway.

This Chief Censor looks like a typical civil servant.

She dislikes the civil servants in the court.

The Censor is also a civil servant, responsible for supervision and impeachment. In any case, his martial arts skills are not high.

The Imperial Censor stood up and returned the greeting. "Your Excellency, you've been away for quite some time. General Su has been drowsy even drinking tea with me in the room. Please take a seat. I'm here today for something quite simple. It's about the Queen's case."

Su Rou sat down beside him and asked, "Did the Queen interfere with the progress of your investigation?"

The censor was stunned for a moment, "How did you know that, sir?"

Su Rou sneered. Could the Queen just sit there and wait for the Censorate to come up with the results of its investigation?

Su Rou said, "Don't worry about how I know this for now. I've already asked the Emperor for permission today. From now on, I can join the investigation of the Empress's case. I went to the prison at night, and the prisoners and jailers there all saw the Empress send someone to molest my mother. We have evidence, but we're still missing one key piece of evidence."

The censor said, "Sir, although we do need witnesses and physical evidence to convict a person, we will not torture someone into confessing... We have interrogated the jailer on duty at the time, and he said he did not see the scene of your family's Mrs. Su being molested..."

Su Rou frowned, "What do you mean? Am I the kind of person who would torture someone into confessing? I moved the jailer with my sincerity, and he told me that the Queen was threatening him. How honest am I? How could I possibly do such a thing?"

The more Su Rou denied, the more the expression on the censor's face showed that he didn't believe her.
