That is yourself.

Sure enough, that's it.

It was directed at her.

Liu family, so it’s Liu Yunshang?

She was really surprised that she was so deliberate in harming her.

What kind of deep hatred could it be to be this serious?

"I have no grudge against Concubine Liu."

"Don't you have any grudge against the princess?"

Seeing that she seemed unable to see through it, Yan Chu couldn't help but remind her.

It's not just because there is a grudge that people will confront each other.

"So, the reason why I was killed was because of the prince."

How could Shen Zhishu not understand? He just lacked a chance to speak.

Yan Chu gave her this opportunity, how could she not make good use of it?

She teased in a light-hearted manner.

"I'm afraid it's because I dote on you too much that I've brought all this trouble upon myself. Do you think it would be better if I stay away from you from now on?"

Yan Chu was speaking seriously.

"The number of women in the prince's backyard is relatively small, but they are no less troublesome than others. The princess is of noble birth and has made great military achievements. She is different from ordinary women. I understand all of this, but this concubine Liu is not an easy person to deal with. Looking at this situation, she is not going to make me lose favor, but to destroy my family, right?"

Is it something you should stay away from? Aren't the women in your backyard more ruthless? The women in other people's backyards who are jealous of each other will kill people directly and destroy the family.

"Your Highness is the head of the family. You can't just ignore the fire in the backyard and see blood, right?"

"So what do you want me to do?"

Yan Chu understood that she was complaining to him.

"I do want you to do justice for me, but both the princess and concubine Liu are your women. Even if I feel aggrieved, what can I do?"

At most, they would just give you a scolding or lock you up for two days.

"The Liu family is involved in a serial murder case, and the Liu government office is partial and perverts the law. Each and every one of these is a serious crime. How can it be resolved by just punishing a concubine Liu?"

But Yan Chu's answer was beyond her expectations.

"I said I would give you an explanation, you should believe me."

He said seriously again.

So, the Liu family's frame-up of his brother won't be resolved just like that?

"But Minister Liu is useful to the prince."

"Why are you still so worried when I avenge you and let you vent your anger? Are you unhappy?"

But Yan Chu didn't consider these at all.

"Of course I am happy, but compared to these personal grudges, I care more about the prince's status."

You are going to be the emperor in the future, so you can't let anything unexpected happen because of yourself.

She is so sensible.

Yan Chu felt relieved and a little touched at the same time.

"I know my limits, you don't have to worry about that."

He hugged Shen Zhishu, wanting to keep her in his heart little by little.

But that night, someone caused a big commotion in the government prison and kidnapped Shen Jie.

Before daybreak, Yan Chu was alarmed.

When he hurried to the prison, he saw a severely damaged prison with jailers who had died tragically and the injured screaming, and they had not yet been completely evacuated.

As for the cell where Shen Jie was imprisoned, it was destroyed beyond recognition. There were five jailers lying inside, all of whom died in tragic ways.

"Your Highness, I have interrogated the jailer from last night. The man came to rescue Shen Jie. I suspect he is Shen Jie's accomplice."

Liu Yu also followed him and walked in quickly.

He rushed here as soon as the incident happened and has already figured out the whole story.

Looking at his expression, he could say with certainty that Shen Jie had escaped from prison.

Yan Chu frowned and said nothing.

"So many jailers have died, murder has occurred and the prison has been broken. This matter is of great importance. I dare not make the decision, so I have sent someone to the palace to report to the emperor, and the emperor will make the decision."

Liu Yu continued.

If the emperor were to judge the case, the King of Qin would not be allowed to show favoritism.

But does he need it?

Yan Chu glanced at him coldly.

"Master Liu is really very courageous."

"I dare not. I have absolutely no intention of going against His Majesty. I am just following the rules."

Liu Yu quickly lowered his head and pretended to be very scared.

Yan Chu had a cold expression.

Under pressure, Liu Yu kept his head down.

"I hope that in a few days, Master Liu can still say these words with confidence."

"I have no regrets. I will always say this no matter when."

Afterwards, Yan Chu stopped talking and walked around the prison. Especially at the place where the fight took place, he stopped and paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about something.

Liu Yu did not make any noise to disturb him.

After that, he left.

As soon as the people left, Minister Liu brought Liu Yunshang to the government office.

"How did the person get robbed? Who did it?"

After hearing the news, Liu Yunshang couldn't stay for a moment and left home immediately.

Yesterday, Yan Chu left her, and she never returned to the palace.

"Apart from the King of Qin, who else would have the ability to kidnap someone from the government prison? The Shen family would like to, but they don't have the ability to do it."

Liu Yu's lips curled slightly, as if he was gloating.

"Him? It couldn't possibly be him. Someone else broke into the prison. I thought you arranged it."

But after hearing what his cousin said, Minister Liu felt disappointed.

"Why would I arrange a jailbreak when the man is about to be convicted? Why do you say it can't possibly be him?"

Liu Yu was somewhat puzzled when he saw his cousin's reaction.

“Because the King of Qin has already known the truth, in just these two days, he will destroy our Liu family forever.

What do you think he did by kidnapping people? "

Minister Liu looked grim and resentful.

After hearing these words, Liu Yu looked incredulous.

"What did you say?"

At this moment, all that was echoing in his mind was the expression of King Qin just now.

Was this what he meant when he said you are so brave?

Knowing clearly that all this was planned by the Liu family, he still brazenly said in front of King Qin that he was Shen Jie's accomplice in the prison break?

Thinking of this, he subconsciously took two steps back, his body softened, and he slid down against the door.

It's over. It's all over now.

"If it wasn't him who broke into the prison, and it wasn't us, then who else could it be? Where is Shen Jie now?"

I didn't care whether Shen Jie lived or died.

But now his life and death concerns his career and even his life.

Liu Yu suddenly became anxious.

So who else would kidnap Shen Jie?

"Calm down first. This may not be a bad thing for us. Shen Jie has been kidnapped and his life or death is unknown. Even if King Qin has evidence against us, as long as Shen Jie does not show up, the case cannot be concluded."

Although Minister Liu was also anxious, given the current situation, Shen Jie's disappearance was still a good thing for them.

"Then what do you mean?"

"Find him somehow, and make him disappear forever."

Yan Chu just returned to the palace.

Shen Zhishu stood guard at the door, watching him approach with anticipation.

If Xiaodie hadn't held her down, she would have probably run over there by now.
