Yinzhen ordered that what happened that night should not be made public.

I heard Ling An say that he found items from the palace on the man.

Deyin also roughly guessed who was the mastermind behind the man.

The robber had been locked up by Yinzhen for two whole days, and his previous fearless look was no longer visible on him.

The dungeon was dark and cold, and soaking in it for a night was unbearable.

Yinzhen was not in a hurry to ask him questions.

Since he didn't want to say anything before, I had to wait for him to come and ask for help.

The man loosened his grip and shouted to the guards that he wanted to see Yinzhen.

The man knelt down at Yinzhen's feet.

"Go ahead," Yinzhen said slowly.

"Master, the owner of the jade pendant is the one who ordered me, go and catch him now..." The man's tone was a little anxious, fearing that Yinzhen would take his life immediately.

"Explain it more clearly."

In response to Yinzhen's questioning, the man immediately kowtowed and said tremblingly: "Someone gave me a large sum of money to take your little prince away, and he will give me another sum after the task is completed. I don't know the identity of that person, but he showed me the jade pendant and said that after the task is completed, I can use the jade pendant to get the other half of the reward."

Yinzhen's eyes turned cold. It turned out that they were coming for him. As for who it was, he already knew.

The jade pendant was supposed to belong to Old Thirteen, but it ended up in someone else's hands.

Letting the Thirteenth Prince take the blame was a move that Yinzhen was very familiar with.

There are so many people in the palace, but only he, the ninth one, can do such a thing.

He had just angered the Emperor in the previous dynasty, and now he was targeting him again.

There was no point in keeping that man. Ling An understood with just one look from Yinzhen.

The guards dragged the man away, and soon a scream was heard from the dungeon.

The Ninth Prince had been resting in the mansion these days, and Yinzhen also found an excuse to visit him and went to the Ninth Prince's mansion.

In the study, Yinzhen still had a smile on his face and said politely, "Fourth brother, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Old Ninth, you and I are brothers, and there are some things I don't want to care about, but you've really gone too far this time!" Yinzhen slammed the table and stood up.

Yinzhen was shocked, but he pretended to be innocent: "Where did you get this from, Fourth Brother? I don't understand."

"You are still pretending!" Yinzhen shouted angrily, "The man you sent that day has confessed everything. You even killed Hongli. You are really ruthless."

Yinzhen's face turned pale instantly, but he still tried to remain calm: "Fourth brother, there must be some misunderstanding here. How could I do such a thing?"

"Hmph, then tell me, how come this jade pendant is on him?" Yinzhen threw the jade pendant on the table and questioned the person in front of him.

"This is obviously the jade pendant of the Thirteenth Brother. Don't wrongly accuse someone like this, Fourth Brother."

"Really? It seems that you think that if you take the jade pendant from the Thirteenth Prince, no one will suspect you?" Yinzhen showed no mercy to the Ninth Prince.

After hearing what Yinzhen said, Yin'er felt flustered, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to admit it.

"Fourth brother, how can you slander me without any evidence? If it was really me who did it, how could I leave such an obvious flaw?"

A cunning look flashed in Yinzhen's eyes. He already knew that Yin'er would not plead guilty easily.

"I didn't come here to argue with you today. I just wanted to remind my ninth brother not to provoke the Emperor again and get punished."

Yinzhen's hidden meaning was clearly heard by Yinlu.

Yin'er's expression became increasingly ugly. He knew that Yinzhen was warning him.

"Goodbye, fourth brother. I will visit you another day." Yinzhen saw Yinzhen out with a forced smile.

After Yinzhen left, Yinlu angrily smashed the teacup on the table.

"How dare you threaten me, you bastard!" he said gritting his teeth.

Yinzhen knew very well that if the emperor knew about this, the consequences would be disastrous, and even his brother Biao might be implicated.

He no longer dared to go to Prince Yong's mansion to cause trouble. Everything had to be planned after this period of time.
