Chapter 5 You Don’t Deserve to Know

The dungeon is always dark, the narrow corridor is dimly lit, and the smell is dull and humid.

Wen Jin walked step by step to the cell where Xiao Jinghan was imprisoned. The footsteps made the people in the cell raise their heads, and then Wen Jin met a pair of gloomy and furious eyes, and his face covered with cold sweat.

"Where is Yan Qing? I want to see Yan Qing!" Xiao Jinghan gritted his teeth, and the eighty whips made him feel severe pain all over his body. "It's just a trip to the brothel, and she is retaliating against me like this?"

"Mr. Xiao, don't think too highly of yourself." Wen Jin's voice was indifferent, and his eyes fell on the messy scars on his body. "Even if you find a hundred women a day and die of exhaustion on women, the princess won't care."

Xiao Jinghan's face flushed, both embarrassed and angry: "The Prime Minister Wen, who is so bright and clear in front of people, is so shameless!"

Wen Jin smiled coldly: "You have done shameless things, but you can't listen to others talking about it?"

"The emperor asked you to come?" Xiao Jinghan's face was gloomy, "Yan Qing is angry now, can you let me out?"

"Mr. Xiao, how old are you, why are you still so naive?" Wen Jin raised his eyebrows, his voice was warm and pleasant, "The princess has mobilized so many people, and invited you back to the dungeon. Do you think you still have a chance to get out?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jinghan's pupils shrank suddenly: "What did you say?"

"The late emperor gave you a task, asking you to poison the princess within seven years." Wen Jin's voice was lazy, and he casually threw out the shocking words, "The emperor and General Xiao should know about this."

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the air dropped suddenly.

Xiao Jinghan looked at him in disbelief, with shock and fear briefly intertwined in his eyes, and then was covered up by pretending to be calm in anger: "What are you talking about? How could the late emperor poison the princess? The princess is the daughter of the late emperor, the sister of the current emperor, a golden branch and jade leaf-"

"Why are you so excited, Mr. Xiao?" Wen Jin smiled, with a gentle and harmless look, "Whether it is true or not, you know it, I know it, the princess knows it, and the late emperor also knows it."

Xiao Jinghan's face was ashen, and he couldn't hide the horror in his eyes when he looked at him: "Are you the princess's man?"

"Who am I? You don't deserve to know." Wen Jin's voice was very light.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his sleeves, and a wisp of true energy penetrated through the prison door. The strong airflow swept across and suddenly shot towards Xiao Jinghan.

Bang!

Xiao Jinghan's body slammed against the wall, his lungs shook, and he spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Yan... Yan Qing..." Xiao Jinghan's face turned pale, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, "Yan Qing is slandering! If you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext! Yan Qing!"

He thought she really went to catch him cheating, and thought that it was just the matter between him and Qiao Yue that annoyed her and made her, the eldest princess, lose face, so she captured him.

If he knew the truth in advance, knew that she had learned the will of the late emperor, and knew that she deliberately used the excuse of catching him cheating to capture him, even if he had to fight to the death, he would never surrender obediently!

Yan Qing would definitely not let him go, Xiao Jinghan struggled violently: "Let me out! Let me out!"

Wen Jin glanced at him, turned away indifferently, and tried his best to ignore the sharp pain that suddenly passed through his heart.

There was no need for him to stay here and waste words with him for someone who was destined to have no way out. He came here just to confirm the facts-although he didn't doubt Yan Qing's words.

But it was still necessary to take a trip.

As for...he is the eldest princess's man?

Wen Jin walked in the long corridor, the dim light shone on his handsome face, flickering, making his expression gloomy.

Yes.

Wen Jin answered himself silently in his heart that he was the princess's man, in the past, now, and in the future.

For the rest of his life.

The powerful Lord Wen quickly returned to the palace in a carriage.

Even though the princess's mansion was not far from the palace, it took nearly half an hour to go back and forth.

Xiao Chongshan was still in the imperial study.

The emperor saw Wen Jin coming back alone, and his expression was gloomy: "Didn't Yan Qing come?"

"I didn't see the princess." Wen Jin replied respectfully, "Commander Shen of the princess's mansion said that the princess was in a bad mood and didn't see anyone."

In a bad mood?

She took people to catch the adulterer and ordered people to kill Xiao Jinghan's favorite Qiao Yue on the spot. She still dared to say that she was in a bad mood?

The emperor gritted his teeth: "Call Lu Guozhong!"

"Yes."

Lu Guozhong was the chief steward of the Jinyiwei, a martial arts expert, an eighth-rank master beside the emperor, in charge of the Silijian, a sinister and cruel person, doing things by any means, and only obeying the emperor's orders.

Letting a eunuch of the Silijian personally go to the Princess's Mansion to convey the order shows the emperor's tough attitude and deep anger.

Wen Jin's gentle and handsome face showed no emotion, and he was still calm, but there was a murderous aura in his eyes.

Lu Guozhong came to see the emperor by order, and after paying homage to the emperor, he heard the emperor's cold order: "Call the Princess and the Prince Consort to the palace immediately. If the Princess disobeys the order, force can be used!"

"I obey the order!" Lu Guozhong bowed and accepted the order. When he left, he glanced at Wen Jin inconspicuously.

The young and elegant Wen Shoufu frowned slightly, looking like a gentleman with good manners.

"Speaking of which, it was indeed Jing Han's fault." Xiao Chongshan blamed himself, "He is the princess's consort. He went to a brothel in broad daylight and disregarded the princess's dignity. It is reasonable for Her Highness to be angry. The emperor does not need to be too harsh on the princess."

"I think what General Xiao said is right." Wen Jin said calmly, "As the eldest princess's consort, Mr. Xiao openly went to have a tryst with a brothel girl. He not only disgraced the eldest princess, but also disgraced the royal family. The eldest princess was angry. It’s only natural.”

Xiao Chongshan's expression froze instantly.

The emperor's expression was cold, but his attitude towards Wen Jin was always a bit special: "Everyone in the civil and military court knows what kind of temper Yan Qing is. Wen Qing does not need to defend her."

Wen Jin then stopped talking and argued with the deaf and blind person, but it was just a waste of words.

"If Wen Qing has nothing else to do, please go back first." The emperor frowned, "I'll talk to General Xiao."

Wen Jin had this intention, so he saluted with kindness and said: "I take my leave."

After leaving the imperial study room, Wen Jin walked slowly towards the palace gate. From a distance, he saw Lu Guozhong who was ordering everyone's hands.

He paused slightly, then walked over calmly.

"Master Lu."

Lu Guozhong turned around and saw Wen Jin, a smile instantly appeared on his face, and he bowed and said, "Master Chief Assistant."

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is in a bad mood today. I just went there on orders and was rejected at the eldest princess's residence." Wen Jin's voice was gentle and gentle, as if she was giving a kind reminder, "Master Lu, please do not confront the eldest princess head-on. "

Lu Guozhong thought about his words and smiled faintly: "I am acting according to the order. If the eldest princess does not cooperate, I am afraid that it will not work without a head-on confrontation. After all, who dares not to handle the errand given by the emperor without heart?"

Wen Jin nodded casually with a gentle smile: "I just want to remind you. I don't care whether you listen or not. Mr. Lu, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Lu Guozhong looked at his leaving figure with no expression, sneered coldly, raised his hand and led the people straight to the eldest princess' mansion.
