Chapter 44: It’s a good dog!

"So someone has captured your family and threatened you to do this?"

He Zijin shook his head and said, "Not entirely. He also promised me a huge profit. If I did this, he would give me a sum of money."

"This amount of money is enough for me to live a carefree life for half my life."

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly: "In the final analysis, it's all because of your greed!"

"Tell me yourself, how can I keep you here?"

He Zijin no longer had any strength left at this point, and the psychological pressure of speaking these things out was enormous.

My family is still in their hands now, and if I say it, my family may be gone too.

If I don't tell others, my family still won't be able to be protected.

"Put this aside for now. I can spare your life. After all, you haven't received the money yet."

"But you can escape the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life imprisonment. This time you will personally follow the escort team northwards. When Li Guang returns triumphantly, you will stop!"

"If Li Guang is defeated or killed in battle, you will be an escort officer for the rest of your life!"

He Zijin sat up immediately after hearing this.

"Your Highness, are you serious?"

"nature!"

He Zijin was overjoyed to receive a positive answer.

He knew very well how serious the crime he had committed was, it was definitely a capital crime!

But now Xiao Yan let him go, which is definitely a happy event.

"I am guilty, I am ashamed of my duty to the soldiers on the frontier, and I am ashamed of General Li!"

Xiao Yan knew that He Zijin was absolutely repentant at this time.

"Okay, spend the rest of your life apologizing for your sins!"

Then Xiao Yan left the Tianlao.

"Your Highness, what about He Zijin's family?"

Xiao Yan looked at Duan Tianya seriously: "If you were Hu Zhenghe, what would you do?"

Duan Tianya thought for a moment and exclaimed: "Your Highness means that He Zijin's family has been..."

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it is true, but you should still send someone to inquire about it. If they can't save him, that's fine!"

"But don't hold your hopes too high. Hu Zhenghe is a ruthless person. He will never leave any hidden dangers for himself!"

"Otherwise I would have punished him long ago!"

Duan Tianya still didn't want to believe that this was true.

"I never thought Hu Zhenghe would actually dare to kill someone."

Xiao Yan sneered: "Is there anything else he dare not do? These are just basic means!"

Duan Tianya gnashed his teeth upon hearing this: "I will definitely find evidence of his crime and tear him into pieces!"

"Okay, do it as soon as possible!"

Night, East Palace.

"Is everything packed?"

Looking at the luggage in front of him, Xiao Yan was a little reluctant, but in order to recapture Guo Youzhi, he had to send Ye Youyue out.

"I have packed everything. Your Highness, please take care of yourself while I am away."

Ye Youyue was also very reluctant to leave. After all, things were different from before and she was eager to leave the East Palace.

Now that Xiao Yan and I have developed feelings for each other, I naturally don't want to leave.

"What can I do? But you should be extra careful when you go out and don't trust anyone easily."

"After you are cured, return immediately. Write to me before you come back and I will send someone to pick you up!"

Ye Youyue could only nod reluctantly.

"Your Highness, can you tell me who this person is and why you have to go so far to treat him?"

Xiao Yan has nothing to hide from Ye Youyue now.

"This person is the mother of Guo Youzhi, the current emperor."

Ye Youyue frowned immediately when she heard that.

"Is it him? He is not the Prime Minister's..."

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Yes, this person is from Hu Zhenghe's faction."

Ye Youyue suddenly lost interest.

"If she is this man's mother, I really don't want to go. She has done all kinds of bad things with Hu Zhenghe!"

Xiao Yan looked at Ye Youyue who looked reluctant, and quickly comforted her: "This person is of great use to me, I want to take him in as my own."

"His mother is my stepping stone. If this is accomplished, the collapse of Hu Zhenghe's camp is just around the corner!"

Hearing that the matter was of great importance, Ye Youyue could no longer refuse.

"I will go, but Your Highness should be careful about this person. I heard Concubine Hu talk about this person a lot when I was with her."

"Even if His Highness rescued his mother, he might not appreciate it."

"This man is deeply connected with Hu Zhenghe, and almost everyone will suffer if they are harmed. How could he be used by Your Highness?"

Xiao Yan laughed when he heard this.

"Even you can see it, how can I not see it? If there is no , they can't be in cahoots with each other."

"As I said just now, his mother is just a stepping stone. As for how to proceed later, we still need to plan carefully!"

"Anyway, I'm determined to get Guo Youzhi!"

Seeing Xiao Yan so determined, Ye Youyue couldn't refute and could only nod.

"I don't know when you'll be back!"

"Let me take good care of you!"

Ye Youyue was also looking at Xiao Yan affectionately at this time.

"Please have mercy, Your Highness!"

When he woke up the next day, the person beside him had quietly left, and Xiao Yan could only shake his head helplessly.

Silijian.

Xiao Ding was flipping through the memorials at will, something no one else knew.

Even Xiao Yan didn't know that the memorials he was reading had all been read by Xiao Ding.

Even some important things were known to Xiao Ding first.

"What kind of crap is this ? I really don't understand what Hu Zhenghe wants me to look at here."

Xiao Ding complained while flipping through the memorials.

The eunuch writing on the side said quickly: "Second Prince, don't dare to do this. You have to understand the good intentions of the Prime Minister."

"This is to familiarize you with state affairs in advance, so that you won't be disgusted by these things in the future!"

Xiao Ding disagreed and said, "It would be strange if you could find anything by reading this. You can't be familiar with state affairs. Only those who hold power can be said to be familiar with state affairs!"

The eunuch who was writing the book glanced around and said, "Your Highness, with the Prime Minister here, is it still a long time before you take charge of the power?"

"I just hope that Your Highness will not forget me when the time comes!"

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, and this eunuch who wrote the poem risked everything he had.

If Xiao Ding really ascends to the throne, then his status will naturally rise with him.

If Xiao Ding fails, then he will also disappear into thin air.

However, Hu Zhenghe still has the most power in the court and has the greatest chance of winning.

"You are such a nice-looking dog slave, but considering your loyalty, I don't mind giving you a hand when the time comes."

"But you have to think clearly . Once you get on my boat, it will be too late to get off!"

The eunuch smiled and said, "It's too late for me to regret now. I am your most loyal dog."

"I will never hesitate whoever you ask me to bite!"

Xiao Ding laughed wildly when he heard this.

"Hahaha, good, what a good dog!"

But just as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside.
