Chapter 112 What If It Happens?
The captain was very aware of his situation. He knew that as long as he didn't speak, they would have no way to deal with him.

Before Zhao Chengning lost his temper, Xihe spoke up: "Let me guess who it is? Is it Uncle Shun? Uncle Jing? Or Uncle Su?"

Xihe mentioned several names of royal family members in a row, but the captain did not respond.

"Let me think who else is there? That's right!" The little girl jumped up happily, "It seems... there is also King Anyuan."

Everyone saw the captain's expression change slightly, it was only for a moment but it was captured.

It seems that it is most likely King Anyuan.

Sanping stared at the captain with an unclear expression, already considering whether to resort to some unusual means.

Emperor Jingyuan has wanted to take action against Prince Anyuan for a long time, but there must be a reason for this, and this captain is the best witness.

"Oh, there are too many people. I can't remember them all." Xihe pretended to be distressed and turned to Zhao Chengning and said, "Brother, don't interrogate him. There are only so many princes in the imperial city anyway. Just write them all down and let them sign. Who cares which one it is?"

Zhao Zhinan was so happy that he agreed, "I think it's okay. When we get back, we can investigate. No matter which prince committed the crime, it will be the fault of this bastard. Let him die."

Xihe raised his eyebrows and rushed towards Zhao Zhinan. When the two looked at each other, their evil intentions became clear.

"That's it!"

The two siblings made the decision happily.

Zhao Chengning pursed his lips and tried not to laugh. He even suspected that his sister had been led astray by Zhao Zhinan. How could this trick be so mean?

Letting a coward die is an idea more bandit-like than that of a bandit.

"Okay, let's do it. Go ahead and write it and let him sign it."

Xiao Xiazi took the order and went to the desk nearby. After a while, a confession was written. The captain opened his eyes wide and was about to run, but Zhao Zhinan behind him kicked him quickly. He fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out. Xiao Xiazi seized the opportunity, went up and held the other's hand, and soon a bright red fingerprint was left.

"The eldest prince."

Xiao Xiazi handed over the confession respectfully, and Zhao Chengning glanced at it and nodded.

"Okay, let's stop here today. When we return to Kyoto, I will hand it over to my father for disposal."

Zhao Chengning picked up Xihe and was about to leave. The captain suddenly panicked and rushed over. Zhao Chengning dodged and held Xihe a little further away.

"No! You are forcing me to confess!"

Zhao Chengning's expression did not change, "Oh, who saw it?"

Xihe chuckled, "Anyway, I didn't see it."

Everyone said: "We didn't see it either."

Sanping smiled and bowed, "I am old, dizzy and didn't see anything."

Zhao Chengning nodded with satisfaction. "You are the one who put the fingerprints on it. There is no problem at all. Why are you complaining about it?"

"I……"

The captain looked extremely conflicted, for he knew that once he signed the confession, he would have to die no matter which prince committed the crime.

But he doesn't want to die!
Xihe saw that the time was right and said, "Big brother, I remember there was a saying in the book, isn't it called "redeem sins with merits"? It seems that if you do something good, you won't be punished."

Zhao Chengning tapped his sister's nose and continued, "That makes sense."

The captain's eyes lit up, and he quickly crawled in front of the two of them, his face full of pleading, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! It was King Anyuan... King Anyuan who asked me to do this! I'll tell you everything." Sanping gave Xiao Xiazi a look, and Xiao Xiazi quickly picked up a pen and began to take notes.

The captain spoke for a full quarter of an hour before he explained everything and signed the document formally.

Zhao Chengning took a quick look at it and handed it to Sanping, revealing his first relaxed smile of the day.

Finally it’s solved.

"Okay, everyone is tired today, let's rest early."

The captain confessed everything and fell to the ground like a pile of rotten meat, staring at Zhao Chengning with a pair of piercing eyes. "I have confessed everything. I wonder if Your Highness can let me go?"

Zhao Chengning's expression remained unchanged as he said, "I will keep my promise and not kill anyone."

The captain was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhao Chengning didn't say anything and turned to tease his sister.

He certainly didn't kill him, but whether Emperor Jingyuan would take action or not was not something he, a prince, could control.

"Big brother, you are so dark~" Xihe leaned close to Zhao Chengning's ear and whispered.

Zhao Chengning snorted and laughed, and ordered his men to take the captain away, leaving only his own people behind. "You, too, are not a pushover."

He suddenly remembered that he wanted to let his sister see some sinister things just now, and now he really felt that he was worrying about nothing.

This little ancestor is smarter than anyone else and sees things more clearly than anyone else, but he is just too lazy to speak out.

Just as Xihe was about to leave, she heard the conversation between Su Zhongqian and Liu Yuan behind her.

"You're really not going back?"

"Uncle, I've become a useless person. Why should I go back?"

"There are so many medical experts in the world, there must be one who can cure you."

"Uncle, don't worry. I know my body well. It's unlikely to be cured."

Su Zhongqian wanted to say something, but was afraid of hurting the other person's feelings, so he fell silent, and his already stern face became even colder.

"That... strange uncle, that... genius doctor grandpa said he can cure you, do you want to try it?" Xihe has been worried about Liu Yuan's injury and has not let it go.

"Excuse me Princess, who is this miracle doctor?" Upon hearing that there was a connection, Su Zhongqian asked hurriedly.

"The last time I went out, I met a traveling doctor. He examined the strange uncle's illness and said he could try to cure it." The so-called traveling doctor naturally did not exist. Xihe was just talking nonsense in a serious manner. "Do you want to give it a try?"

Before Liu Yuan could say anything, Su Zhongqian quickly agreed, "Try! Let's try! As long as there is a chance, let's try it. What if it works?"

Even if there is only a one in a thousand chance, Su Zhongqian will try it. He is reluctant to let Liu Yuan live in the south of the Yangtze River.

Liu Yuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, his uncle interrupted him, "Don't worry about it. Just treat the disease. I'll take care of the Imperial City."

Liu Yuan's words of refusal were stuck in his throat. He couldn't be so cruel under Su Zhongqian's expectant gaze. The words went around in his mouth for a few times before he finally swallowed them. "Okay, I'll try."

Su Zhongqian strongly requested to meet the miracle doctor, and Xihe quickly winked at Liu Yuan for help.

Where did this miracle doctor come from? It was Xihe herself, but she didn't dare to say that in front of everyone. In the end, Liu Yuan comforted Su Zhongqian and used the excuse that "the miracle doctor doesn't like to be disturbed" to put an end to the misunderstanding.
