As if she was coaxing a child, Chu Yunge softened her voice and said these words with a face full of smiles.

”Really, really?” He was still unwilling to believe that Chu Yunge was a princess, but the initial disgust was no longer present on her face.

”Of course, I won't lie to you.” Chu Yunge took the initiative to extend her right hand, hooked her pinky and gave her a guarantee.

”Liar, you must have also used this kind of trick to gain General Mu's trust back then.” She pouted her lips and looked at Chu Yunge. Her hands were behind her back, as if she was avoiding him.

”You're wrong. When I lied to General Mu, I didn't say it directly to him.” Instead, he had meticulously prepared and disguised himself before going to find him. He didn't even know I was a girl. I was disguised as a eunuch at that time. But facing me, I don't pretend to be anything at all, and every word I say is the truth. ”

”...” How do I know it's true? ” His mouth was still as stubborn as before, but the voice that came out of it was much gentler than before.

”Haha, little fool, wait for me to enter the Ministry of Justice and enter the prison. When the Emperor summoned me, you already knew whether I was really a Imperial Protector Princess or not. If I'm a fake, I might die after entering the palace. If I were a real princess, don't worry, I wouldn't die. We might even have a chance to meet again. ” Chu Yunge still maintained the posture of reaching out her hand, her slender pinky raising in the air, waggling it playfully towards him, ”So you want to hook your finger if you don't believe me?”

”Fine.”

Under Chu Yunge's repeated orders, the seated extraordinary slowly raised his head and met Chu Yunge's gaze. He then similarly extended out his finger, ”Hold my hand, if you lie to me, even if you die, I won't burn paper money for you …”

”You better hope that I'm still alive. Maybe I'll give you a gold ingot.”

Chu Yunge took the initiative to hook the youth's finger, and forcefully hooked it.

An hour later.

The carriage train shakily passed the busiest district of the Bright Moon City and arrived at the outskirts of the city, which was the Chief Sovereign of Punishment's Mansion.

When they arrived at the entrance of the residence, it seemed that a pigeon had already sent a message. The Minister of Justice of the Board of Justice had already taken the initiative to stand quietly in front of the residence. When he saw the Minister of Revenue riding on his horse, he immediately stepped forward to welcome him. His Majesty has been waiting for the results of this matter for the past few days.

”Sir Huang …” The huge man sitting on the red mane horse immediately got down from the horse. He raised his hands and saluted. He first folded his hands in front of his chest and respectfully bowed to the Minister of Revenue.

After the salutation, he straightened his back and whispered to Mr. Huang who was full of expectation, ”Thank you for waiting here for me, Mr. Huang. I don't dare to do such a thing.” ”I was still thinking that after meeting with His Majesty in the afternoon, Lord Huang would be able to make this official speak up so that the emperor wouldn't blame me.”

”What is it? What happened? ” Upon hearing the Minister of Revenue say such words, the expression of Mr. Huang, who was eagerly waiting for him, stiffened. He looked at him seriously, ”Did you not capture that prisoner?”

As he spoke, he looked away to the line of carriages behind the Minister of Revenue. He wanted to find the prisoner's figure in the line of carriages.

Not to mention the prisoner's shadow, he didn't even see a prisoner van.

At that moment, Lord Huang's face had already changed greatly. His serious expression immediately turned serious as he looked away from the carriage and stared at the man in front of him. He whispered, ”Giant, could it be that you …” He didn't finish what the emperor told him, right? Long Yan was going to get angry, this …

Before Mr. Huang could finish his sentence, Mr. Shang Shu interrupted him and said: ”Aiya, that is not what I meant. What I mean is, this matter didn't go as smoothly as I thought, because the complexity of this case has exceeded my expectations, and the matter is extremely troublesome. I didn't even dare to bring the case up for questioning after catching the culprit, and rushed back to the capital.

”What?” ”You said that there wasn't even a trial?” Mr. Huang shook his beard in surprise.

”That's right. If I could have brought the case for questioning, then I would have settled the matter in Dazhou City a long time ago. Why would I drag things this far and come to you for help?” The giant grabbed Lord Huang's wrist with one hand and said in a low voice, ”For the sake of being an official's colleague for so many years, I hope you can help me out!”

”What's wrong? ”Who is that culprit? How can you be so afraid when you see him?” Not only did Mr. Huang change, he became more curious.

”Origin?” That prisoner claimed to be the Imperial Protector Princess of Great Chu Kingdom, Chu Yunge! She was drinking tea in the back garden of the mansion when I sent the Deathsworn to arrest her. When he saw me, he immediately gave his name. She also said that the accomplice had run away and she was the only one present. ”

”She said she's a Imperial Protector Princess? Doesn't that mean that this old one can claim to be the prince? ” The corner of Mr. Huang's mouth curled as he spoke with utter disdain.
