“Since you offered, then go ahead.” Xue Yan said.
Just now, it was dark and he couldn’t see clearly at all. It wasn’t until the eight people were sent to the county government prison that Princess Jin recognized that one of them was Prince Weimin’s trusted aide.
She had met this confidant once before because her father had once brought her to a banquet. Prince Weimin was also there, and this person stood behind him.
When she saw this person, Princess Jin started to believe Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, and Xue Sifu’s words. However, since she had taken on the task of interrogating them, she would have to still go through with the plan.
Of course, even if she didn’t interrogate them, she could guess the reason why Prince Weimin sent this confidant here. It was probably because he was afraid that if the person he sent hadn’t seen her before, they might kill the wrong person. Sending someone who had seen her would be the better choice.
The sky was still dark. Among the eight people, other than the confidant of Prince Weimin, the other seven people could not take it anymore. They said that their confidant had brought them here and wanted them to kill Princess
Jin. As for why they were told to kill Princess Jin, they did not know. They did not know whether Prince Weimin had sent them here. They were only following the orders of their confidant. They had always been following their confidant’s orders. They did not know anything else.
When the confidant heard that the other seven had confessed, the confidant only laughed and said, “What can they confess? It’s because I don’t see eye to eye with your father. I couldn’t stand it anymore and found out that you were here, so I came to kill you behind his back. It was all my doing. Don’t talk nonsense about my Prince. Even if you send me to the Emperor, I will still say the same thing!’
This person had been like this ever since he was woken up by the splash of water. He was extremely stubborn. No matter what kind of torture he suffered, it was better than exposing his loyalty. He did not admit to anything.
Even now, he was taking responsibility for it.
Even if he made a fuss in front of Emperor Hao, due to insufficient evidence, he could only make a fuss about a crime that wasn’t severe under Prince Weimin’s command. The Emperor won’t be able to do anything to Prince Weimin at all.
“What other punishments do you have? Feel free to use them. I’m not afraid!”
The confidant laughed loudly again. His mouth was filled with blood, and his face was contorted in pain. His face was twitching, but he had no intention of betraying Prince Weimin at all.
She could see why Prince Weimin sent him.
Princess Jin didn’t continue the interrogation and walked out of the cell.
After leaving the prison, she went to Locust Village to inform Xue Yan and
Jiang Yue of the results of the interrogation. She also said to Xue Yan and Jiang Yue, “l plan to go back tomorrow. Don’t worry about Prince Yi. My father won’t let him live.’
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue looked at each other. Only then did Xue Yan say, “Princess, don’t underestimate him. It’s not like you can kill him just because you want to.”
Princess Jin smiled and said, “I’m not looking down on him. I know that he’s not simple. However, when I came here, my father had already sent people to keep an eye on him. He’s just stuck in that residence. He can’t escape even if he has wings. Unless there’s divine help, the day 1 return home will be the day he dies.”
Xue Yan still felt uneasy. He exchanged glances with Jiang Yue before saying to Princess Jin, “How about this? I’ll send Zou Ba and Zou Shisi back with you. If anything happens on the way, we can take care of each other.”
“Alright.” Princess Jin readily agreed. Then, she smiled and said, “Then, shouldn’t the people that you arranged in Jingyue be withdrawn when the time comes?”
If it wasn’t for this Crown Prince sending people to keep an eye on Jingyue, she wouldn’t believe that they could discover her coming to Xinyuan so quickly and being Xue Sifu’s servant..
