The Black Dungeons of the Supreme Court were dark and gloomy, and the smell of blood permeated the air.

At the end of the long corridor, the sound of whip lashes accompanied by screams could be heard from time to time.

Seven survivors were captured from the Divine Pesticide Hall. Five of them were medicine shop assistants, one was the shopkeeper, and the other was the black-clothed woman whose martial arts was not bad and whose identity was unknown. At this moment, all five employees were hanged on the rack for torture. The specially made thin whips soaked in chili sauce whipped their thinnest faces. All of them cried out in pain as they glared at Qin Lie.

Mang Zhong was the culprit behind the punishment, but Jun Jiuchen had yet to appear.

At this moment, he was standing in the darkest place. He seemed to be in a bad state. He leaned against the wall and lowered his head slightly. The sharp outline of his profile was as cold and lonely as ever. It was just that in the darkness, he seemed even more lonely.

"Ah... Spare me, I don't know anything! "

"Ah... "Ah …"

"We have never seen His Highness, ah..."

"Only then did the shopkeeper and Caiwei find out where His Highness was. We didn't even know!"

… ….

Jun Jiuchen got up and left after hearing this.

The shopkeeper and the woman from Caiwei were isolated in another place. The storekeeper's mouth wasn't very tight, but he didn't know much. That woman, Caiwei, was the key. She had used all her strength, but had not uttered a single word.

When Jun Jiuchen arrived at the entrance of the Sky Prison, he saw Eunuch Mei waiting for him, while Xia Xiaoman stood behind him, giving him a meaningful look.

There was no doubt that royal father wanted to see him.

Upon seeing Jun Jiuchen, Eunuch Mei immediately went up to him and respectfully said, "Your servant pays his respects to Your Highness Duke Jing. The Emperor summoned his highness into the palace, and sent a servant to invite him in. The sedan is ready at the door, Your Highness, after you. "

Jun Jiuchen gave a few instructions to Lord Gong, then left with Eunuch Mei. With a complicated expression on his face, Xia Xiaoman hurriedly followed behind.

At the palace.

It was just as Jun Jiuchen had guessed, the Tianwu Emperor was no longer sickly. Those who did not know the truth would not be able to tell that he was terminally ill. Jun Jiuchen clearly knew in his heart that his father's illness was' cured ', but it wasn't a real recovery and wouldn't last for long. Once the medicine was used up, he might not even be able to keep his last breath.

Tianwu Emperor sat there, and he no longer had the fatherly appearance from before. His face was sullen and he was obviously angry.

"Your son greets you, royal father."

Jun Jiuchen saluted and asked, "Has father been well while this son was away?"

"Good, good, good!" The Tianwu Emperor added angrily, "If you don't cause trouble like this, I will be even better!" Tell me, why did you decide such a big matter?! You should be clear of the current situation! What benefits do we get if we end up in such a difficult situation? "

Even though the Tianwu Emperor was as angry at Baili Mingchuan's act of bullying, he had long ordered the border troops to prepare and wait for orders. However, he still didn't want to reveal his identity in the end. He didn't want to start a fight.

Tian Yan, Bai Chu, and Wan Jin were all established not too long ago, and their foundations were not stable. However, Tian Yan was strong, surpassing either Bai Chu or Wan Jin. Because of this, Bai Chu and Wan Jin had formed an alliance three years ago and tied down the Sky Flame on both sides of the east and west. It could be said that the two sides of the three kingdoms were on the same level of strength. The relationship between them was subtle, and the situation was relatively balanced. Both sides wanted to disrupt the balance and become hegemons, but neither side dared to act rashly.

In the heart of the Tianwu Emperor, the most sensible thing to do on this case was to not reveal his identity as the real culprit and make a fool of himself. Chen Bing gave a bluff at the eastern border to give Wan Jin a warning, asking the world to guess the reason. He would secretly chase after Baili Mingchuan to seek revenge.

However, Jun Jiuchen was the first to reveal the truth, using the bounty as a reward. By doing so, he had openly humiliated and provoked the Hundred Miles Royal Family, and had forced Tian Yan to take public measures to avenge himself. Otherwise, if he caused such a ruckus and the amount of chaos lessened, wouldn't that be a joke?

As Jun Jiuchen remained silent, Emperor Tianwu asked again, "Do you think it's because that woman, Xiaoyao, messed up your mind?" I trust you so much, you shouldn't make such a mistake! "

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoman, who was standing at the side, was shocked. One had to know that Prince Jing had been absent from the city for more than half a month. He had basically convinced the emperor that there was nothing between his majesty and Gu Feiyan.

His Highness had been so impulsive, and all his efforts had been for naught.

Xia Xiaoman was about to explain, but Tianwu Emperor slapped the table angrily, "We just made arrangements for the consort selection. On the first day you came back, I told you that the heart of a man who has accomplished great things must not be disturbed by a woman. Don't forget, as the eldest son of the Jun Family, your true mission! Don't forget your promise to the Great Emperor! "

Upon hearing this, Xia Xiaoman suddenly did not dare to make a sound. His heart was filled with shock! He felt as if he had discovered some secret.

He and Mang Zhong understood His Highness the best. All this time, they had been wondering why His Highness had been sent away, why he had come back after so many years, and why he had come back to assist the crown prince, and why he was involved in politics. Since the Emperor had allowed His Highness to return and granted him the same status and rights as the Crown Prince, why didn't he change the position? One must know that His Highness is the eldest son of the family, and the crown prince is his, so he is far more capable! The Crown Prince was still young and couldn't stop mumbling about the Eastern Palace for his brother to come to the Eastern Palace. If the Crown Prince didn't travel to the south and find out that His Highness had entered the palace, he would definitely come to pester him.

However, these doubts were nothing.

What puzzled Xia Xiaoman the most was that His Highness had wholeheartedly helped the crown prince, and had never thought about the throne of the crown prince.

"The real mission? A promise to the Great Emperor? "

Xia Xiaoman recited the words silently in his heart. He thought, "This must be the reason." His Highness and the Emperor, as well as the Great Emperor Uncle, must have some unknown secret!

Xia Xiaocheng didn't dare to say anything and Jun Jiuchen didn't immediately defend himself either. His face was silent, and nothing else was revealed. He knew that his royal father was looking at him, testing him.

He waited for a moment to confirm that his father had not spoken. Then, he kneeled down and said respectfully, "Your son is guilty. Please punish him."

Seeing this, the Tianwu Emperor unconsciously clenched his fist.

What he wanted was not an apology, but an explanation!

He had always treated this son of his as an exception, and many times, father and son did not have to be polite to each other. But his son had always been respectful towards him, even more so than the other princes. This kind of respect was similar to the respect an official would show the king, but it was also more like politeness and estrangement.

He was his own son, the son that he and his royal brother had waited for more than ten years for. They had gone to great lengths to erase the memories of his childhood. However, he still didn't want to get close to them.

The anger and dissatisfaction of the Celestial Emperor were all within his heart. In the end, he still gave way and said angrily, "Get up, I'll give you a chance to explain!"
