"Deputy Leader Han, is it really you?!"

Han Sijin didn't dare to look at Yan Henian and quickly avoided Yan Henian's gaze.

Yan Henian's heart suddenly sank, and he turned around and raised his hands to Emperor Li Kang.

"Your Majesty, I request that this person be handed over to Dali Temple for trial. If it is really Han Sijin, I will definitely give an explanation to the Emperor."

"Hmph, how do you explain it?" Emperor Likang asked with a cold face.

"If it is really Han Sijin, he should be punished for the crime of murdering the current prince. In addition," Yan Henian paused, "the veteran will also take the blame and resign, taking responsibility for the lax inspection at that time."

"What about the person who wrote to Han Sijin and asked him to harm Prince Ning and Miss Jixiang? What should you do?" Emperor Likang asked again.

"Of course..." Yan Henian felt miserable. Kou Peilin is your emperor's father-in-law. You should have spoken. Why did you ask me to come?

"Your Majesty, the letter has yet to be identified to see if it is written by Mr. Kou himself. I should be careful this time to avoid making the same mistake as last time."

"Okay, then I will trust you again. You can interrogate Han Sijin in front of the court."

Yan Henian was startled.

Jixiang was also stunned. She turned to look at Emperor Likang and saw that his face was solemn, not like he was joking, so she began to think. The emperor didn't even believe Yan Henian of Dali Temple.

Yan Henian did not expect that Emperor Likang would ask him to resolve the case on the spot in the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, it would be better to go to Dali Temple Prison to resolve this case..."

He looked at Eunuch Guo on the side and wanted Eunuch Guo to help.

Eunuch Guo shook his head gently.

"Are you saying that my Imperial Study Room is not as majestic as your Dali Temple Prison? Does he still dare to deceive me in front of me?!"

Emperor Likang's voice was cold, and Yan Henian was so frightened that he quickly bowed, "I will interrogate you now!"

"Get him a chair. It's really ugly lying on the floor."

"Yes, old slave, let someone prepare it now." Eunuch Guo said and arranged for a young eunuch beside him, who quickly brought a chair.

The two guards lifted Han Sijin up and tied him to a chair.

Yan Henian walked up to Han Sijin and said, "Han Sijin, is this letter given to you by Mr. Kou Peilin, Minister of War?"

Han Sijin's eyes were dull and showed no reaction.

Emperor Li Kang stared at Yan Henian without blinking.

When the time came, Jixiang gave Emperor Likang an injection, "Your Majesty, I'm going to give him the injection, don't move."

After quickly taking out the silver needles one by one, Emperor Likang was finally able to move his body and walked to Han Sijin in a few steps.

"Han Sijin, look at me!"

No matter how Han Sijin disobeyed Yan Henian, his eyes still opened immediately when Emperor Likang drank!

"If you don't tell me the truth today, I will kill all nine of your clans! Your Han family will no longer be popular!"

Jixiang signaled Emperor Likang not to get angry, not to get angry.

Emperor Likang waved his hand, "I'm not afraid of you here."

Jixiang is helpless.

Seeing that Han Sijin still didn't speak, Yan Henian reminded him, "Han Sijin, the emperor has already spoken, so you should explain everything. If you delay it any longer, all nine clans of the Han family will really go." The food market is here.”

Han Sijin glanced at Yan Henian, lowered his head and said nothing.

"You don't even want to answer my questions?"

Emperor Likang became angry again, "I don't believe that we can't pry his mouth open! Someone, give Han Sijin's wife, children, parents, all to me..."

"Your Majesty, let me try."

They were looking for Han Sijin's wife and son, Xiong Er, but it was unclear whether they had been found or not.

Ji Xiang held a silver needle and said, "I will make him tell him everything willingly."

As he said this, before Emperor Li Kang and Yan Henian could react, the silver needle had already pierced Han Sijin's head.

Han Sijin's eyes immediately became distracted, and he lost his previous alertness.

"Master Yan, ask."

Ji Xiang turned around leisurely and said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the common people is pregnant now. Can you go sit aside for a while?"

"Okay, okay," Emperor Likang turned to glare at Eunuch Guo, "You don't have good eyesight. Don't you know that Miss Jixiang can't stand for a long time?"

Eunuch Guo hurriedly moved a chair to Jixiang, but he cursed in his heart, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are a good person. If I hadn't given you the acupuncture just now, would Miss Jixiang have been able to stand for so long?"

After Jixiang sat down, Eunuch Guo brought some snacks to her, "Girl, if you're hungry, just eat whatever you want."

Ji Xiang nodded, "Thank you, Eunuch Guo, for your hard work."

Well, it’s better for Miss Jixiang to know his hard work.

Guo Ziyi decided in her heart that she must treat the girl in front of her well in the future. Although he and Prince Ning were not engaged yet, with the child in her belly and Prince Ning's protection of her, Princess Ning would definitely not run away.

However, there seems to have been no news about Prince Ning since he left Beijing.

Eunuch Guo wanted to ask Ji Xiang if he had received a letter from Prince Ning, but before he could speak, he heard Yan Henian starting to ask questions.

"Han Sijin, what is the relationship between Kou Peilin, Minister of the Ministry of War, and you?"

"He, he is my savior."

Emperor Likang and Jixiang were both stunned.

"Savior? How did he save you?"

At this time, Han Sijin obviously showed no resistance at all. He was like an obedient little sheep and was quite cooperative with Yan Henian's questions.

"That was ten years ago when Master Kou first returned to the capital. At that time, I was just a guard in the Imperial Guard. I had a conflict with someone because my family's property was occupied..."

Jixiang listened to Han Sijin talking about his encounter with Kou Peilin, and he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong. As an official who had just returned to Beijing, Kou Peilin's foundation at that time...

Ji Xiang suddenly thought of Concubine Shu, Kou Peilin's eldest daughter.

Could it be that Concubine Shu was the one who took action to save Han Sijin's life and promoted him many times? !

"So, Master Kou asked you to frame the Crown Princess and Prince Ning, and you agreed?"

Emperor Likang couldn't help but ask.

"I don't want to kill either of them. I just want them to have an affair so that the news of the Crown Princess's elopement with Prince Ning can be spread."

"Prince Ning eloped with Miss Jixiang, and you were the one who spread the news?!"

Emperor Li Kang's face was extremely ugly, and he wished he could give Han Sijin a slap in the face.

But looking at the bloody face, he took back his outstretched hand.

"Master Kou said that the prince didn't want to marry a girl from the Ji family at all. I did this to help the prince solve his trouble."

Hearing this, Ji Xiang stood up quickly.

"Since the prince doesn't want to marry me, why does he have to go to such trouble to hold a wedding?!"

Emperor Likang was a little embarrassed. The wedding was the one he requested.

But if the prince doesn't want to, he can tell himself in advance, why should Kou Peilin come forward?

Thinking that this matter might be related to the prince, Emperor Likang suddenly did not dare to think further.

"Han Sijin, did Kou Peilin say that the prince asked him to do this?"

Han Sijin shook his head.

"I don't know about this. I just acted according to Master Kou's instructions."

"Then you also sent all my dowry to Netherworld Valley according to the instructions in Lord Kou's letter?"

"Yes."

"Who are those people in Netherworld Valley?" Jixiang asked.

Han Sijin's body suddenly stiffened, as if he had come to his senses, he raised his eyes and looked at Ji Xiang, "Where is the Netherworld Valley?"

"Yes, where is Netherworld Valley?" Emperor Likang and Yan Henian asked in unison.

"It was in the Netherworld Valley that the girl caught Han Sijin." Jixiang said slowly, "As for why the girl went to the Netherworld Valley, it starts with the fact that the girl has been hunted down."
