The Iceberg Prince was teased by me

Chapter 285 Don't answer irrelevant questions

"Ji Changfeng, your mother Lin Zelan has confessed her crime. Considering that she confessed everything before her death to save your life, I can spare your death, but you can't escape the punishment of life. If you are willing to tell the truth, I will punish you appropriately for the sake of Minister Ji. What do you think? Are you willing to cooperate?"

Emperor Ting looked at him expressionlessly, trying to catch the slightest change in his expression.

Although Ji Changfeng didn't know what crime his mother had confessed to, if he told everything he would be letting his mother down and wasting her life to save him.

He quickly figured out what kind of things there would be, the things that made the emperor pay attention, they must be those warriors. In fact, he had known for a long time that they were not only warriors, but also King Jing's death warriors, because it was impossible to train so many secret guards. So only if they were death warriors, King Jing would go to such great lengths to hide them...

The more he thought about it, the more he understood why his mother was arranged to live in that house after being rescued by King Jing. King Jing must have thought about the day when the matter would be exposed, so using his mother as a shield was the best way for him to escape punishment!

Seeing that he had not answered, Emperor Ting suddenly spoke again: "What? Ji Changfeng, you refuse to answer. Are you planning to die with your mother?"

Ji Changfeng immediately retracted his thoughts, sniffed and said: "Your Majesty, I am not refusing to answer, but I don't know how to answer. After all, when my mother framed my stepmother, I was still young and didn't understand anything, so I really don't know how to explain it. Please forgive me!"

After hearing what he said, the Emperor was so angry that he slammed the dragon table and said, "Ji Changfeng, I am not interested in the past of the sinner Lin. Don't answer irrelevant questions. Tell me where the warriors in the house on Changchang Street went."

Ji Changfeng looked at him in confusion: "Your Majesty, I really didn't know that the people there were warriors, and I really didn't know their relationship with my mother. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Just when the Emperor was about to scold him again, Minister Ji, who had walked to the door from outside, saw his missing son and ran in excitedly without waiting for the eunuch at the door to go in and report, with tears streaming down his face: "Feng'er, Feng'er, is it really you?"

When Ji Changfeng heard this, he was immediately delighted, so he turned to look at his father beside him, tears welling up in his eyes: "Dad, it's me, it's me, it's Prince Chen who brought his son to see the emperor, and his son is very happy to see you again!"

After hearing this, Minister Ji recalled that he had just seen Lin's body when he entered the palace. He heard from those who were responsible for escorting her out of the palace that the emperor wanted to punish her by leaving her body exposed for three days so that the people would know the cause of death and take it as a warning.

He still felt a little sorry for her at that time, but when he heard the eunuch accompanying him say that Lin had secretly escaped with the help of King Jing, the pity in his heart suddenly disappeared, and hatred surged up in his head, so he retracted his gaze and walked away quickly.

But why did the emperor want to see his son now? Seeing that his son had suffered a lot, he immediately looked at Mu Yanchen in confusion. In front of the emperor, he was too embarrassed to ask the doubts in his heart, but to protect his son, he could still fight, "Your Majesty, I see that my son has too many scars on his body. I want to ask you, have you finished asking what you want to ask?"

The Emperor saw the stubble on Minister Ji's chin and sympathized with his hard work in prison these past two days. He also knew that no matter how much he asked, Ji Changfeng would probably not tell the truth, so he had no choice but to fulfill his minister's wish and waved his hand: "Forget it, Minister Ji has suffered, so you should take your son back first!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ji Changfeng was overjoyed, but he still spoke cautiously and politely.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. I will take my son back first!"

After Minister Ji bowed happily to express his gratitude, he immediately stepped forward and bent down to pick up the man, but just as he did so, he heard a "crack" sound from his waist. He held the painful area and looked at the Emperor embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I have sprained my waist. Can you please call someone to help me take my son back to the Ji Mansion?"

When Emperor Ting saw him like this, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart. He was still very kind and had people carry the father and son out and send them all the way back to Ji's house.

After the people left, Emperor Ting looked at his son who had been silent the whole time, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Chen'er, what's wrong? Did Minister Ji give you a cold shoulder just now?"

Mu Yanchen quickly came back to his senses, turned around and bowed, and said politely: "Father, Minister Ji did not give me a cold look. I was just thinking about other things and was distracted. Father, do you have anything else to tell me? I can handle it for you immediately!"

Emperor Ting shook his head and said earnestly: "Chen'er, take Princess Lu to the palace when you have time!"

"Yes, I will remember this. I will take my leave now!" Mu Yanchen bowed respectfully and left.

As soon as Mu Yanchen came out of the imperial study, he quickly walked towards the gate of the palace, just to get back to the palace as soon as possible and tell her that Lin was dead.

As soon as Keren reached the palace gate, she was stopped by Luo Ruxia in the street. She cried to him with red eyes: "Cousin, please save me!"

Mu Yanchen looked at her like this, and he was suspicious in his heart, but he still said calmly: "What happened?"
