Under pressure from Ni Yueshan and Jing Yuchen, Kang Xueyi had no choice but to say to Tian Qinan, "Miss Tian, although you are a woman, you have no evidence to prove your innocence. I have no choice but to torture you. This is just routine duty. Please don't blame me!"
Tian Qinan's face was gloomy. She wanted to shout, but someone rushed over and pressed her down. Kang Xueyi turned his eyes away and pretended not to see it. Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan sat aside and watched quietly without saying a word.
The board hit Tian Qinan again and again, and he screamed in pain. Some people gathered outside the Dali Temple and pointed at Tian Qinan who was lying in the hall and screaming.
After ten slaps with the board, the soldiers stopped. Ni Yueshan looked over sharply, "Why did you stop?"
The officers and soldiers were ashamed. How could such a spoiled person withstand constant beatings?
They raised their heads to look at Kang Xueyi. Seeing Jing Yuchen sitting beside him with a serious expression, Kang Xueyi wanted to say something, but in the end he just said honestly: "Fight, keep fighting!"
Then the board fell again, and the originally clean clothes were gradually soaked by the bright red blood.
The person gradually fell into a coma, and outside, a figure came hurriedly.
The man was wearing a brown robe and looked very serious. He had a goatee that was slightly upturned because of his tightly pursed lips. He walked over with a cold face and saluted Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan.
"Meet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess."
Then he bowed slightly to Kang Xueyi.
Kang Xueyi stood up from his seat and said quickly, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, please stand up quickly!"
Tian Yongchang stood up straight, his eyes swept over Tian Qinan, who had been knocked unconscious. She raised her eyes slightly to glance at Tian Yongchang, then stretched out her hand and weakly shouted, "Dad, save me!"
Tian Yongchang suppressed his distress and said to Jing Yuchen and Ni Yueshan, "Crown Prince, Crown Princess, I have searched all of my daughter's residences and couldn't find your friend. I am now searching the other residences of the Tian family. Please wait a moment, Crown Prince and Crown Princess!"
"Please, Your Highness, can you give me a few words alone?" Jing Yuchen's eyes fell on him, without any hesitation about whether Tian Yongchang would play any tricks. He just said calmly: "Okay!"
Jing Yuchen then stood up and looked at Ni Yueshan beside him: "Wait here, don't wander around!"
Ni Yueshan nodded and watched Jing Yuchen and Tian Yongchang walk away together.
In the deserted back hall, Tian Yongchang was originally on edge, with a very serious expression, but now he said, "Your Highness, I know that Qi Nan has always harbored resentment towards you and the Crown Princess. These are her mistakes, and she should bear the consequences!"
"Even if her life was to be taken, I shouldn't plead for her, but now I have lost my legitimate son. If I also lose my legitimate daughter..."
As he spoke, he sighed softly, "Please, Your Highness, understand how a father feels about losing both his daughter and son. Alas, if only Your Highness could spare her life, I wouldn't fight to the death and reveal the Crown Prince's scheme to impersonate the Crown Princess! A thorough investigation would be considered deceiving the emperor, Your Highness. I doubt you would want to do that, do you?"
He was speaking in a nice tone at first, why did he become threatening later?
Jing Yuchen pursed his lips and looked at him with cold eyes. He exuded a majestic aura, which made Tian Yongchang feel pressured, but he did not back down.
"If I give in, my daughter will be gone, so I can't!"
Ni Yueshan and Kang Xueyi were waiting for the two of them in the front hall. When they came out, Kang Xueyi couldn't help but ask, "I wonder how the discussion between the Crown Prince and Lord Tian went?"
Tian Yongchang sighed softly, "Master Kang, please wait a moment!"
As he spoke, he walked towards Tian Qinan who was standing aside. Tian Qinan was in pain all over her body and felt groggy. She didn't notice Tian Yongchang approaching her at this time.
In the end, it was Tian Yongchang who slapped his hand on her body, and she finally reacted.
She bit her lips so hard that they were broken. She looked at Tian Yongchang pitifully and said, "Dad...daughter, it hurts!"
Tian Yongchang whispered to her distressedly, "Tell me, where did you lock the person up? If you tell me, I can save you!"
Tian Qinan looked at Tian Yongchang in confusion: "If you tell me, won't that mean you're admitting your guilt?"
"No, I have a way. You have to believe me!"
Finally, Tian Qinan gave in and told Tian Yongchang the address. Then Tian Yongchang stood up, bowed slightly in the direction of Jing Yuchen, and walked out quickly.
Ni Yueshan looked at Jing Yuchen suspiciously: "Did you reach a deal?"
Jing Yuchen had already sat down again and said calmly, "All we hope for is that Yu Fei is safe and sound, and that the Tian family can no longer stir up trouble!"
"And you back then..." He moved closer to Ni Yueshan with the teacup in hand and whispered, "And the secret of you not being in the capital back then was not revealed."
Ni Yueshan glared: "So you want to let Tian Qinan live? She wants to kill me!"
There was surprise on Ni Yueshan's face. She didn't understand what Tian Yongchang had just said to Jing Yuchen, and why Jing Yuchen actually gave in?
Was it because Xiao Chuer pretended to be her that she was controlled and threatened?
