Jian Ji stared blankly at him, her light blue eyes slightly dull and rolling over once before lowering her head again. Her nostrils flared slightly as she spoke in a tearful tone: "Does Ninth Brother want me to die?"

  He looked so wronged, as if he were a child about to be sold by someone.

  Di Ji looked at him silently for a moment, then slowly said, "You won't die."

  Jian Ji's nose was red and swollen, he lifted his head to look at him, those beautiful light blue phoenix eyes were filled with a hint of clarity, as if he was very stubborn about his own thoughts, his voice still had a slight tremble.

  "But will be half dead, is it?"

  "This king won't make things difficult for you, but what you've done this time is really excessive. You must personally go to the East Palace and apologize to the Crown Prince's consort, and hand over the antidote as well. Do you understand?"

  Di Jiu said this sentence calmly and quietly, not asking Jian Ji to make a choice, but commanding what Jian Ji should do.

  Jian Ji listened to his words and fell silent for a moment. With a difficult expression, she looked at him and said, "Jiu Gege... how did you know that I must have an antidote?"

  Di Ji also looked at him and calmly said, "Then do you have it?"

  "No."

  "If you want to live, there must be a way." Di Jiu probably understood Jian Ji's character thoroughly, after all, since he got to know him, nine out of ten sentences from Jian Ji's mouth were lies...

  At first, Di Jiu was also quite indignant and disappointed, especially when he first learned that his pitiful life and personality were just being toyed with. It was undoubtedly a humiliation for him as a noble prince to be played around like a top.

  And Jian Ji always pretended to be pitiful and admitted his mistakes after doing something bad, but after admitting his mistakes, he just treated it as a joke and continued his misbehavior.

  After being deceived time and again, Di Jiu saw through this person's true nature. Although he indulged him, he became increasingly calm and would not let himself fall into his trap again.

  Jian Ji heard his words, stared at him for a long time, raised her hand with the handcuffed hands to rub her nose, and said in a low voice: "But Ninth Brother, Chu Ci is indeed guilty..."

  "It's not up to you to decide whether she deserves it or not, only the prince has the final say. What you're doing is completely meaningless." Emperor Jiu said coldly.

  Jian Ji heard this and his beautiful, fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as he said coldly: "Then let Ninth Brother be the Crown Prince."

  "Xiao Ji! Must you speak nonsense? Is this matter just about you venting your anger? Do you know how many people have died in the city because of you? I, the king, protected you. Why did I, knowing that you committed a capital offense, still choose to protect you? Isn't that enough for you? Are you determined to drag me down with you before you're satisfied?"

  Jian Ji originally didn't have any feelings in his heart, no matter what Emperor Jiu or Crown Prince said about the dawn of the common people. He only knew that all these things had nothing to do with him. However, when he heard Emperor Jiu say that if he continued to cause trouble like this, he would really drag Emperor Jiu down...

  Jian Ji was slightly stunned, opened his mouth, and said innocently in a low voice: "Brother Jiu won't have anything happen to him... I'll listen to you..."

  Jian Ji said in a very ordinary tone, "I've promised you, Ninth Brother, can you help me get rid of this? It's choking me to death."
