Xia Chujian nudged his forehead with the barrel of the gun and urged, "Hurry up and tell me! I don't have that much time to listen to your twists and turns and waste time!"

"Now I ask, you answer, get to the point!"

"If you say something long-winded, I'll shoot you."

"You have so many parts of your body, and not every part is fatal. - Do you understand what I mean?"

Zorenbot smiled bitterly and nodded: "I understand, I understand, if you ask..."

Xia Chujian nodded and said, "The Third Prince was assassinated, is that true?"

Zorenbot said quickly, "It's true. He was assassinated the night before the Academy of Sciences held a meeting to announce a breakthrough in wormhole technology."

Xia Chujian asked, "Why do you say Pojun is the murderer? What benefits can you gain by framing him?"

Just as Zorenbot was about to hesitate, Xia Chujian's finger on the trigger moved.

Zorenbot saw it out of the corner of his eye and said hurriedly, "Actually, we don't know why, but the Third Prince specifically asked for Pojun's life... saying that it was him who did it..."

Xia Chujian frowned. It was actually the Third Prince who said that Pojun was the murderer...

What is the grudge between Pojun and the third prince?

Xia Chujian didn't think too much about this issue.

She then asked, "Did the Third Prince show you the evidence?"

Zorenbot shook his head slightly. "No, the Third Prince didn't show us any evidence. He just said that as long as you can prove that Pojun is the murderer, you will definitely hand him over."

"And they asked us to execute him on the spot and not bring him back to Beichen Star."

Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "Why would I hand him over as long as you say Pojun is the murderer?"

Obviously the Third Prince had misjudged her...

Zorenbot said awkwardly, "...Because you are the leader of the royal guards, you have never been involved in these matters within the royal family. To avoid suspicion, you will definitely hand over Pojun."

"Before you were the captain of the Second Princess's guards, someone accused someone in the royal guards of assassinating the Second Princess. Without a word, you handed that person over..."

"Pojun was also a member of your inner guard, so..."

So they just think habitually.

Xia Chujian breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became nervous again.

Because she had no impression of that Pojun at all.

Of course, the "Seven Killers" who was the leader of the royal guards before was not her, Xia Chujian.

Is it strange that she doesn’t recognize Pojun?

But in this case, Pojun already knew "Qi Sha" before!

This is so annoying...

Xia Chujian now understood why Pojun sometimes looked at her thoughtfully...

This guy is just watching her performance quietly!

Xia Chujian's face turned red, luckily she had a helmet covering it so no one could see it, but her feelings were indescribable.

However, she was only stunned for a moment, and continued to ask calmly: "Then why is your target Pojun?"

"Is there any problem with Pojun's identity?"

Zorenbot looked at her strangely, until he felt the barrel of Xia Chujian's gun pressed against his forehead, advancing another millimeter. He said in panic: "...The top leaders all know this... Doesn't Major General Qisha know?!"

Xia Chujian was a little angry and embarrassed, but tried not to show it. He just moved the gun barrel, aimed at Zorenbot's left leg, and fired a shot.

"Ah--!" Zorenbot sat up reflexively, covering the wound on his left leg, almost fainting from the pain.

Xia Chujian hit him on the head with the butt of his rifle again and said, "If you don't speak properly, you won't be able to save your right leg."

Zuo Lunbote burst into tears and said quickly: "Everyone says that Pojun is actually the emperor's illegitimate son..."

"Moreover, Pojun grew up by the Emperor's side and only became an inner guard after reaching adulthood."

"He was originally the chief of the imperial guards, but he offended the Imperial Concubine, the second princess's mother, and was demoted. Only then was you promoted to chief of the inner guards..."

Zuo Lunbot emphasized, "You were promoted by the Imperial Concubine and are on the Imperial Concubine's side, so His Majesty the Emperor has appointed you as the Second Princess's Chief of Guards."

Xia Chujian thought, it turns out there is a palace fight going on here...

She asked curiously, "Who is Pojun's biological mother?"

Zorenbot smiled bitterly and said, "That, I really don't know."

"It's rumored that she's a maidservant to the Emperor, but no one knows which one."
