Ye Xuan Ke looked at Ye Xuan Qi in horror: "Fourth brother, you...what do you mean by that?"

Even the faces of Qin Xubai and his two brothers changed. Jiang Yanting glanced at Ji Ziche, who had a gloomy face, and said in a cold voice: "Aqi, what did you find out?"

Ye Xuanqi's eyes were sinister: "Ji Hongwen, what did you do at the banquet at Su'an Marquis's Mansion that year? Are you still unwilling to tell me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

"Zhou Feng, chop off one of his fingers."

Ye Xuanqi didn't give him any chance to quibble, and Zhou Feng also acted decisively, this time he really chopped off Ji Hongwen's fingers.

The bloody and horrific scene made everyone silent. Those clan members who had their own thoughts also stopped thinking and secretly vowed not to offend Ye Xuanqi.

Wan Biying and Ji Xuze, mother and son, wished they could shrink into the cracks in the ground so that Ye Xuanqi wouldn't notice their existence.

Ignoring Ji Hongwen's screams, Ye Xuanqi asked coldly: "Still unwilling to speak?"

Old Prince: Your Highness Prince Chen, is it possible that he doesn’t want to speak, but is in so much pain that he can’t speak?

But Ye Xuanqi didn't care about that, and said to Zhou Feng: "Go to the Dali Temple and tell them that I will personally try the traitor who surrendered to the enemy in battle."

Ji Hongwen wants to use amnesia as an excuse to get rid of everything. Does he think that all the royal family members are fools?

Although it was the first time that Ji Hongwen met Prince Ye Xuanqi, the brief contact had already allowed him to see Ye Xuanqi's methods.

Now he is already in excruciating pain without any torture instruments. If he were to go to the Dali Temple, he would really be in hell.

Moreover, he had no doubt that after being interrogated in the Dali Temple, this Yama would really turn him into a human pig.

"I said! I said!"

At this moment, Ji Hongwen no longer cared about the pain of the broken finger, and crawled to Ye Xuanqi's feet like a cartilaginous animal: "I'll tell you everything!"

He no longer hoped to get a way to survive, he just wanted Ye Xuanqi to give him a quick death.

"That day...that night it wasn't me."

The secrets revealed today are one after another, which is shocking enough, but no one expected that Ji Hongwen is still hiding a terrible secret.

Although Ji Ziche still looked calm, his hands in his sleeves were clenched into fists, and his smooth nails were all embedded in the palms.

Ji Ziche laughed at himself secretly. He didn't expect his intuition to be so sharp. He was indeed not Ji Hongwen's son.

The fresh and elegant scent of jasmine wafted into his nose, instantly relieving his rage and calming his mind.

His side profile met Song Yunxi's clear and pure eyes: "Second brother, you have us!"

Jiang Yanting: "Xiao Si is right, we are a family."

Qin Xubai: "You are still you, there is no difference."

Song Wentian smiled gently: "Zi Che, do you understand?"

All the haze in Ji Ziche's heart was swept away, and he suddenly felt clear and bright: "Master, it is my disciple who is narrow-minded."

That’s right, his home is in Saint Cloud Mountain, and his family is around him at the moment, so why bother about the past that has nothing to do with him?

Song Yunxi's expression suddenly turned cold. This scumbag ruined the eldest princess' life and also implicated her second brother. Eternal damnation is the best ending for him.

Ye Xuanke stepped on Ji Hongwen's severed finger and said, "If you don't tell me quickly, do you want me to chop off your other nine fingers?"

This time Ji Hongwen did not shout out, but fell into a coma.

Ye Xuanke said angrily: "Zhou Feng, pour water on him to wake him up!"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

Song Yunxi went straight over and asked Zhou Feng to pinch Ji Hongwen's jaw and feed a pill into his mouth.

The severe abdominal pain woke Ji Hongwen up.

"I said, I said anything!"

I just hope I won't torture him anymore.

No one expected that the princess was not drunk that night, but was given hallucinogenic drugs by Ji Hongwen.

Naturally, the one who consummated the marriage with her was not Ji Hongwen, but Yu Xiunian, the Prince of England, who had also been drugged by him and lost his self-consciousness.

Wave after wave of shocking truths made everyone forget their shock and only feel that the truth was unbelievable.

A flash of inspiration came to Ye Xuanqi's mind: "Prince Yu has been unconscious, is it you who did this?"

Ji Hongwen no longer had any need to hide anything, and readily admitted, "I didn't know the drug would have such strong side effects. When Yu Xiunian woke up the next day, his mind went blank as if he had lost his memory, and his movements became sluggish. He fell into a coma for three days and never woke up."

The Yu family of Duke Yingguo was also a family of military generals. The Duke Yingguo's eldest son Yu Xiunian was also quite talented and had always followed the Duke Yingguo in his battles.

Later, after the Duke of Ying was seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield, he placed all his hopes on Yu Xiunian.

Yu Xiunian fought on the battlefield with General Dingguo's Qin Army and made many military achievements. He soon became a general who could stand on his own.

Twenty-one years ago, there were constant battles on the Jin-An border. Several generals with outstanding military achievements were stationed at the border and dared not withdraw. The only remaining military generals in the court were Duke Ying and his son, who were seriously injured and could no longer go to the battlefield.

At that time, some small countries took advantage of the internal and external troubles in Jin'an and united to take advantage of the situation. Although the Duke of Ying was in poor health, he still requested to go to war to quell the rebellion. However, before the expedition, his old pain recurred and the royal doctors all asserted that he would never be able to fight on the battlefield again.

In times of crisis, Yu Xiunian stepped forward and asked to go into battle in place of his father. Ji Hongwen was among the vanguard team at that time.

Half a month before the expedition, Ji Hongwen held a banquet in his mansion on the pretext of showing his bravery. Yu Xiunian would never suspect that his friend who grew up with him and his brother who would fight side by side in the future would plot against him at this time of national crisis.

It was also because they grew up together that Ji Hongwen also understood Yu Xiunian. He had absolute and sincere trust in his friends and brothers, and he knew his feelings towards the eldest princess.

Yu Xiunian thought he had hidden his admiration for the princess very well, but how could Ji Hongwen, who was always by the princess's side, not see it?

It was only because he had secured the position beside the eldest princess early on under his father's arrangement that no one else had a chance.

He schemed and exploited the eldest princess for the sake of his family, and had to deceive and bully her for the sake of his cousin. But how could he really have no feelings for the eldest princess when they had been together since childhood?

However, that little bit of affection disappeared completely in the face of the huge difference in their status, in the repeated contempt and dissatisfaction of the late emperor towards him, and in the gentle arms of his cousin.

Later, someone came to him. That person knew his entire plan to escape death. He was forced to follow the person's instructions and drugged the eldest princess and Yu Xiunian respectively.

He didn't know why the man did this, but if his plan of escaping by pretending to go to war was leaked out, the entire Ji family would be implicated, and the young Ji Xuze would not be spared.
