Yan Chujing was not angry when he heard this. He just curled his lips noncommittally and skipped the topic: "Then what? What else did he ask you to do for him?"

He had some impressions of the branch of the Xue family who was sent to Qingyun Town. He was a powerful character, and he was also valued by Xue Qin. Since he took action with a purpose, what he did was by no means a trivial matter.

But the answer given by Chen Jingshan was unexpected.

"There's nothing else." He glanced coldly at Yan Chujing, "Today's Mr. Xue family really makes me unhappy. I also admit that I misjudged the Xue family before. But one code is the same, and I won't do anything that doesn't exist.

It's a random fabrication, apart from helping the people as a green forest, Magistrate Xue never asked me to do anything else."

"Are you serious?" Yan Chujing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Is this the whole plan of Magistrate Xue to rob the rich and give to the poor together with a few bandits? In the process, he gained neither fame nor profit, and he also took the risk of violating the court's laws. What was he trying to do?

Both Yan Chujing and Chi Xinian instinctively felt that Chen Jingshan was still hiding something.

But before they could ask, Chen Jingshan said: "Since I promised, I have no intention of lying to you. This is the fact. If you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and rested against the torture rack behind him.

The old injury and the fatigue of a day's running around made him drowsy when he relaxed.

Seeing him like this, Yan Chujing and Chi Xinian couldn't help but look at each other.

"He...doesn't look like he's lying?" After a moment of hesitation, Chi Xinian was the first to break the silence, "Liars tend to tense up in response to everything because they are afraid of being caught. But he looks very...

Relax, it feels like..."

"It's like he put aside all worries after telling the secret in his heart." Yan Chujing took over her words at the right time and continued, "Looking at him like this, he must have revealed the secret in his heart."

When the two of them thought about this, they fell into silence again.

After a while, it was Yan Chujing who took the lead to break the deadlock: "Since the questions that need to be asked have been asked, let's leave that person to the secret guards. It's getting late, and it's time for you and me to go... home."

"Yeah, okay." Chi Xinian nodded and stepped to follow.

When leaving, she looked back several times and looked at the man leaning on the shelf.

He still had his head drooped, as if he had fallen asleep.

…

The setting sun is like blood, and the golden-red sunlight falls on the glazed tiles, reflecting a gorgeous scene.

After Yan Chujing returned to the palace with Chi Xinian, he did not go back to his own Lingyun Palace. Instead, he took advantage of the situation to stay and have dinner in Chi Xinian's Fengqi Palace, and threatened that he would stay in Fengqi Palace today.

Chi Xinian happened to still have some thoughts in her heart. Since he wanted to stay on his own initiative, she followed his wishes and led him to the study after dinner.

"If your majesty has any memorials to review, you can work here." Chi Xinian offered a cup of hot tea, then took a small stool and sat next to Yan Chujing. "If not, I would like to discuss today's matters with you.

Let’s talk.”

"What do you want to say?" Yan Chujing picked up the tea cup and took a sip, his clear eyes falling on her face without looking away for a moment.

This means that you have to concentrate on listening to what she has to say.

"When I left, I looked at Chen Jingshan a few more times. He still looked relaxed and didn't show any flaws." She pursed her lips. "According to my experience, he really didn't lie. But if he
