Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After all, if Night Cat overheard them discussing things she shouldn't hear with this man who called himself Xiao Ce, she'd be dead meat...

Sure enough, it was just as Yin Pan'er had thought.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said, "It doesn't matter. He's a dying man anyway, so it won't matter to him if he hears it."

Yin Pan'er's eyes flickered slightly as she listened to the man who called himself Xiao Ce say this.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er meaningfully, "What? You have a problem with that?"

Yin Pan'er shook her head, pretending to be stupid, and said, "Of course not, it's because I'm afraid he'll hear things he shouldn't hear."

The man who called himself Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "What? Do you think he can still leave here alive?"

Yin Pan'er's expression turned slightly embarrassed upon hearing this.

The man claiming to be Xiao Ce said, "Pan'er, you have truly disappointed me... Have you forgotten everything I told you before? I am your husband, and it was that imposter who stole you... Do you want to help him now?"

When Yin Pan'er heard the man who called himself Xiao Ce say this, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously glanced at Night Cat.

As expected, Night Owl looked completely surprised.

If a man who calls himself Xiao Ce dares to say something so bluntly, then Night Owl is doomed.

After hearing his words, Yin Pan'er's mind raced.

A moment later, a solution came to mind, and he said, "Your Highness, I have done everything you said. I have never betrayed you! I don't understand what you are talking about?"

Yin Pan'er spoke firmly, and the man who called himself Xiao Ce stared straight at her.

He seemed to be trying to glean something from Yin Pan'er's eyes.

However, Yin Pan'er's gaze remained firm.

He couldn't detect anything amiss in Yin Pan'er's eyes.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce: "You didn't let this person in on purpose?"

Yin Pan'er asked in confusion, "Why did I let him in... Wait! How did he get here?"

Yin Pan'er's acting skills are already superb.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce stared at Yin Pan'er's expression for a long time.

It was confirmed that Yin Pan'er's expression had not changed at all.

"This guy sneaked into your backyard, digging something... We just happened to spot him, so we caught him!"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said.

Yin Pan'er looked at Night Cat with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing here?"

Night Owl was now bound hand and foot, with a piece of cloth stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't answer at all.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "They must have heard that you buried something in the backyard! That's why they came to dig it up..."

Yin Pan'er nodded, realizing that the man who called himself Xiao Ce had just said something to deceive her.

After her explanation, the man who claimed to be Xiao Ce seemed to choose to trust her.

Yin Pan'er realized that the man who called himself Xiao Ce had no idea what they had been talking about earlier.

Yin Pan'er continued her act, saying, "Your Highness, are you aware of this?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce looked at Yin Pan'er, paused for a moment, and then said, "Are you talking about the death of Xu Kong?"

After listening to the man who called himself Xiao Ce, Yin Pan'er asked in confusion, "Void?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said, "It's the mad Taoist you mentioned."

Yin Pan'er suddenly realized: "So his name was Xu Kong... I really didn't know. Yes, it was him... He's dead, did you know?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce nodded and said to Yin Pan'er, "Of course, that's why I came... Just now, I suspected they might be looking for the remains of the Void..."

Yin Pan'er nodded: "At first, I did intend to hide in the back garden. Later, we discovered that someone was watching us when we secretly buried the Void's remains. I guessed that someone was watching us... so I dug them up and moved them when no one knew..."

"Because the Madman's remains are so unusual, I was wondering if you might need..."

Then, Yin Pan'er turned to the man who called himself Xiao Ce and said, "By the way, Your Highness, do you know who it was? Who killed the Mad Taoist? Was it them?"

As Yin Pan'er spoke, she looked at the night cat that was tied up with its legs and feet bound to the side.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce shook his head: "They don't have that capability yet... I don't know the specifics either. Did he give you any information when he came back to you?"

Yin Pan'er's mind raced, trying to figure out how to answer.

I don't know whether I should tell this person the last thing the mad Taoist priest said...

However, after thinking for a moment, Yin Pan'er decided to keep it a secret.

He said one word, but I didn't hear it at all... When I asked him again, he didn't wake up again...

She was still a little tactful when she answered.

It wasn't said directly, but whether or not...

Instead, he gave an ambiguous answer, as if the mad Taoist hadn't said anything.

He would naturally prefer to brush it off, but if he did speak up, she could easily claim she didn't hear him...

Her muddled response was clearly still quite good.

The man who called himself Xiao Ce nodded: "Where is his body now?"

Yin Pan'er replied to the man who called himself Xiao Ce, "In an absolutely safe place. Your Highness, did you come here because he died?"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "You could say that... I came here specifically to see you..."

The man who called himself Xiao Ce looked around, then his gaze fell on the night owl...

The two equally armed men beside him took Night Owl away.

Xiaoyue naturally went out.

Seeing this, Yin Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief for Night Cat.

Because if they really wanted him dead, it wouldn't matter whether he was alive or not.

Clearly, his actions just now were a test of her.

Because this man who calls himself Xiao Ce must not know how the Mad Taoist died or what happened after his death.

Since he didn't know, he had no choice but to test her.

After they all left, the man who called himself Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Have you always had doubts about my identity?"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "Of course not... You've said many things that only we know... I'm certain you are the real Xiao Ce!"

The man who called himself Xiao Ce nodded without saying a word, and then removed the coverings from his body.

He then revealed his true colors.

After witnessing this scene, Yin Pan'er was filled with disbelief...
