Song Chuji still had that lazy and cynical expression on his face. He looked at him with cold eyes and sneered, making it hard to tell what his mood was at the moment.

"Your Majesty! I am willing to guarantee with my name that she must have been threatened and is definitely not the mastermind behind this!"

Yao Peiyuan's face really changed. The Chief Justice of Dali Temple was ruthless and known as Judge Yama. He was a general who had fought bloody battles with Song Chuji to win fame. But at this moment, he seemed to be possessed, defending a girl.

Song Chuji's face turned cold. "Yao Peiyuan, do I need to remind you? Don't handle the case with any emotion!"

If he couldn't do it, he wouldn't mind just asking someone else to investigate the case.

Yao Peiyuan's face turned pale, and he realized that he was too obvious in protecting his child. Wasn't this telling everyone that he and Xiaorong were having an affair?

"If you feel that you are unable to investigate this case, you can go to Fenghuaxueyue and I will send someone else."

Sure enough, emotions make people less intelligent.

Even Yao Peiyuan and even the smart and arrogant Song Chuji were deceived by Nie Shuangshuang.

Yao Peiyuan felt that His Majesty's tone was... sour?

Did he hear it wrong?

I feel like your Majesty wouldn't say something like this.

It was as if she was blaming him for not telling him in advance. Yao Peiyuan felt a little puzzled.

However, the attitude of admitting mistakes must be positive!

"Your Majesty, the matter between me and Miss Xiaorong... ahem, originally it was nothing, I was just asking her about relevant matters. But later during the interrogation, she accidentally fell down, I helped her up, and she was scared again, so I comforted her, and then..."

Of course, this was just a simplified version, and he didn't dare tell Song Chuji the details of what happened between them.

For example, as soon as Xiaorong entered the interrogation room, she hugged his legs and cried loudly, begging him not to kill her and that she was willing to work like a slave.

His body was covered with snot and tears.

He was so angry that he grabbed her collar and wanted to pull her away completely, but they ended up kissing each other without even standing firmly. Her lips were soft and sweet, and they were both stunned the moment their kisses touched.

Of course, there were many such accidents, and each one was very dramatic. For a man as upright as Yao Peiyuan who had never had contact with girls, it was extremely embarrassing.

Of course, these things must not be told to Song Chuji, unless he doesn't want to live anymore.

Although Song Chuji was not angry, he was quite gossipy, especially about matters between men and women.

"Since you said you would not let these things affect your investigation, then I will allow you to continue to supervise the case. There is just one thing: you cannot get too close to the suspect."

As for what happens to the two of them after the investigation is complete, he will not care. Even if Yao Peiyuan wants to marry him, he will personally grant the marriage.

To be honest, I never thought that this guy would have someone he likes.

Song Chuji thought it was quite interesting. After all, someone with his background should be completely desperate about love.

"Yes! Your Majesty! I will definitely find out who is behind this and seek justice for the Queen!"

Yao Peiyuan turned and left the imperial study. Song Chuji looked at his back and thought about something.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaorui approached cautiously and filled the cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, this Lord Yao turns out to be... a fruitful outcome!"

That Miss Xiao Rong was from the Chuxiu Palace. I had seen her several times in the palace. She was lively and cheerful, loyal to Concubine Qi, had good intentions, and was a simple and bright girl.

If you ignore his family background, one is an introverted and shy general. Although he looks cold and bloodthirsty on the outside, he is actually a big boy who has not grown up yet on the inside.

Although the other one is just an ordinary palace maid, she is lively, cute and adorable.

They are quite a good match!

Wang Xiaorui sighed, "It's just that this Miss Xiaorong and General Yao are really not a good match!

Even though General Yao is still the Minister of the Supreme Court and holds several positions, he is still the son of Grand Tutor Qi, Your Majesty's right-hand man. Although he has always refused to acknowledge Grand Tutor Qi, blood is thicker than water after all, and there is no way to sever the ties.

As long as Master Qi disagrees, I'm afraid there will be no results for the two of them!"

After all, she grew up in the palace, and had seen the coldness of human nature since she was a child. She had no ability to change that, so she naturally attached great importance to the family background of these people.

Song Chuji glanced at him and frowned, but he didn't quite agree.

"His marriage still needs my personal approval, even Master Qi cannot go against my wishes!

As for the family background you just mentioned, I have never taken it seriously. Although Shuangshuang is also a noble lady, the Nie family was not considered a big family before. Do you want to say that the queen is not worthy of me and ask me to depose the queen and make the concubine the queen?"

He never cared about these things. The distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, and the wealthy and powerful families were all just gimmicks in his eyes.

Without serving as an official in the court, they are just declining nobles with a nicer sounding name.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaorui immediately slapped his mouth, "Your Majesty! I was just being too talkative for a moment! Your Majesty and the Queen are the most compatible couple in the world. No one can compare to the Queen."

He immediately expressed his loyalty. That was his good point: he was quick to react and could make the emperor happy.

"As long as you know!"

Song Chuji now does not allow anyone to say anything bad about Nie Shuangshuang, even if it is just a casual remark, or if there is suspicion of sarcasm, he will not allow it!

Wang Xiaorui smiled awkwardly. This was really embarrassing. He originally wanted to express his opinion on the matter of Yao Peiyuan and Xiaorong, but in the ears of His Majesty, he turned it into talking about him and the Queen.

"Then Your Majesty, would you like to see the Imperial Concubine? The Imperial Concubine is at the door with something!"

Song Chuji frowned upon hearing this, "Date paste cake again?"

There is no doubt that it was his Shuangshuang who told Lan Yinruo that he liked to eat that thing.

Now, Lan Yinruo comes to deliver it to him every day, but Nie Shuangshuang, before he lost his temper with her, used to make it for him every day.

Now, since I offended her, I have never eaten the date paste cake she made herself again!

Wang Xiaorui chuckled when he heard this, "Your Majesty is wise!"

It is indeed a date paste cake, but this date paste cake is a little different.

"It is said that the Queen had her servants make this when she was free today. She thought there were too many to eat and so she sent it to Your Majesty."

Song Chuji was surprised for a second when he heard that, but then his face turned cold, and his emotions were like Cardcaptor Sakura.

"Why didn't Shuangshuang make it herself and send it over?"
