When Emperor Jiuchu went out to greet him, he saw that Emperor Yanzhi had already gotten down from the carriage, with people holding a yellow umbrella for him. Emperor Yanzhi stood calmly outside the mansion, looking at the horse-drawn carriage prepared beside him.

  Di Ji walked over and smiled slightly: "How did the prince come here?"

  Di Jin's eyes were fixed on the horse carriage, his tone calm and direct: "I heard that Second Brother's mansion is harboring a fugitive, I've come to take a look."

  Upon hearing this, Emperor Jiu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Is the Crown Prince joking?"

  The emperor's face turned red with anger and he didn't say a word, so Emperor Ji took the initiative to step aside and said, "If the crown prince really has any misunderstandings, then search the mansion thoroughly."

  However, after Emperor Wu entered the mansion, he did not order a search of the Ninth Prince's mansion, but instead chose to sit down in the main hall and drink tea.

  Di Jiu understood the meaning of Di Hong's departure and let the servants come in to pour tea.

  "You don't have to explain anything, I personally came here not to investigate any clues, but to give Second Brother a conclusive evidence." Emperor Chi said lightly and placed the jade pendant on the case table.

  The moment he saw the jade pendant, Emperor Jiu's expression finally changed subtly, because it wasn't just any ordinary jade pendant. When they were young, their father had given each of them a protective jade pendant, with each one engraved with their own name. The jade pendant that Emperor Tong was showing him happened to be his own.

  There was a time when Xiaoji took a liking to the jade pendant, wanting the one around Emperor Jiu's neck. Emperor Jiu gave it to him, thinking that Xiaoji liked it, but unexpectedly, he casually discarded it and let someone else pick it up...

  "It was mine."

  Di Kuai's tone was calm as he spoke: "That makes things easier, this was found in the dungeon, Second Brother, if you don't want to implicate yourself, then hand the person over."

  Di Ji fell silent for a moment, then curled up the corner of his lips and smiled: "Why doesn't the prince think that person could be me?"

  Di Jun's gaze was calm as he looked at him, then said: "You have never been injured by this king's Flowing Light Sword."

  Di Jiu seemed to understand why Di Hong had come to find him with such certainty. He stared at the jade pendant on the case for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes and said softly: "I'll help you find the White Tiger Token, you let him go."

  "It's impossible." Emperor Ji's tone was still cold and calm, almost as if he hadn't even thought about it before rejecting Emperor Jiu.

  "Your Highness, there are still many people in the city who have been poisoned by the white toxin and are struggling to survive. If I remember correctly, the Crown Princess was also poisoned... I am confident that I can find an antidote from him, please spare his life."

  "Second brother, don't forget that this person wanted to destroy the entire Kyoto, and he hurt my woman. Do you think I would let him off?"

  Di Ji's face sank again, and he asked: "How can the prince vent his anger?"

  Di Jin's eyes drooped slightly as he calmly drank a sip of tea, his movements elegant and refined. His expression remained aloof from start to finish, and he spoke in a flat tone: "Second Brother is wrong. Now it's up to you to decide, either hand him over or I'll report the crime of harboring a fugitive to the higher-ups, and Second Brother won't be able to escape either."

  "You'll kill him, won't you?" Di Jiu stared at him and asked.

  "Yes." Emperor Wu's eyes were still cold and deep, as if he was a person without emotions.
