Xie Yin spoke in a shrill voice. He grabbed King Cheng 's shoulders and shook them hard, trying to make him say that Song Tangning and the others were lying and talking nonsense.
But Prince Cheng remained silent, his lips tightly pursed and his face pale.
"You lied to me...you all lied to me..."
Xie Yin's eyes were red, his lips were trembling, and his face was twisted into a hideous look: "I am the son of my mother, the blood of the Rong family and the Xie family, I am a descendant of the royal family, the prince of the Cheng Palace... Don't even think about lying to me..."
"With someone like you, why would I want to lie to you? Look at yourself from head to toe, how do you resemble your aunt?"
Tang Ning stood outside the prison door and sneered, "You are shameless and heartless. You have learned Xie Tianyu's selfishness and viciousness. I think when he brought you back to Prince Cheng's Mansion, he saw your despicable nature. How can an ungrateful person like you be worthy of being your aunt's son?"
"Song! Tang ! Ning!!"
Xie Yin quickly rushed to the front of the cell and grabbed the cast iron cell door with force. The cell door swung with a loud noise, which was extremely terrifying in the prison at night.
It's a pity that the woman standing outside was not scared by him at all. Instead, she looked at him calmly as he went crazy, with the sarcasm in her eyes not concealed at all.
"Why, are you angry because I said that?"
Tang Ning scoffed , " What did you say last night in Prince Cheng's mansion in order to get your aunt to save you?"
"You said you were deceived by Xie Tianyu, and that you never thought of harming her. You said you didn't know that Prince Cheng wanted to harm my aunt, and you never had the intention to harm her. But what did you say just now?"
"You want to keep your position as the prince of the Cheng Palace, and you want to protect your wealth and glory. You know that Xie Tianyu's words are full of loopholes, but you would rather believe his words."
Tang Ning looked at Xie Yin, who was holding the cell door tightly and looking at her, with full of sarcasm.
"I used to think you were stupid and young , but now I know that you are selfish and vicious. You wanted to step on your aunt to get out of prison and then bite her back. You knew what kind of person your aunt was, but you chose to betray your mother who had loved you for more than ten years without hesitation, and let others slander her innocence."
"Xie Yin, how dare someone like you call her mother?"
The ferocity on Xie Yin's face froze a little bit: "I didn't... I didn't... It was my father who said that my mother had an affair with Gu Helian. He told me that my mother had betrayed us. I just didn't want them to turn against each other..."
He grabbed the cell door with red eyes and a pleading look on his face:
" Tang Ning, Tang Ning, please believe me... I am your cousin, we grew up together, please believe me..."
Tang Ning sneered when he heard this, and looked at Xie Yin with even more disgust: "Just because we grew up together, I understand how hateful you are. I dare not have a cousin like you who wants to kill people."
Seeing that Xie Yin was about to speak, she looked indifferent:
"You don't need to explain to me. I will ask you to explain later. I just hope that when the time comes for the severe punishment, you and Xie Tianyu can still have such a deep and touching father-son relationship."
Xie Yin shook his body and looked at the woman not far away with disbelief.
This was the sister who used to follow him like a tail, the little girl who used to cling to him and call him cousin all the time. But now, although she had the same face, her almond-shaped eyes no longer had the same intimacy as before. When she just looked at him quietly, her eyes were as dark as a cold spring abyss.
"Tang Ning..."
Xie Yin's voice trembled, and without waiting to speak, he met Xiao Yan's indifferent eyes.
Xiao Yan said to Tang Ning, "You don't need to say more to them. With Nanny Jiang here, Xie Yin and Prince Cheng can't blame the Rong family. As for other matters, we will use torture. Once you enter the gate of the Criminal Department, no one can come out stubbornly ."
"Canglang."
Xiao Yan called out, and Cang Lang led his men over.
Prince Cheng 's expression changed drastically: "Xiao Yan, I am a prince of the royal family, you cannot torture me..."
"A treasonous prince?"
Xiao Yan glanced at Prince Cheng with a half-smile: "Your Highness, are you going to tell me that the more than 300 Thunder Crossbows and the weapons and ladders you found in your mansion are all for collection?"
"His Majesty has handed your case of treason over to me for trial, and has only ordered that everything be done as quickly as possible. You should know what this means."
King Cheng's face turned pale in an instant.
Emperor An's words meant that he didn't care about his life or death at all, and only wanted a result. It also meant that in Xiao Yan's eyes, he was just a "prisoner" of treason . No matter what means Xiao Yan used next , as long as he could get out what Emperor An wanted to know, he would not hesitate to use severe punishment.
The prison door was opened by Canglang, and the jailer dragged the two men out.
Xie Yin grabbed the cell door and said anxiously: " Tang Ning, Tang Ning, please forgive me... ugh!"
Canglang kicked him on the hind legs, causing him to hit his head against the prison door. He stepped forward and grabbed Xie Yin's arm and twisted it. While he was kneeling on the ground screaming, the black-armored guards came in and forcibly dragged Xie Yin out.
When Prince Cheng saw someone coming to arrest him, he ignored Xie Yin who was crying outside and said sharply: "Song Tangning, don't you want to know where the child that Rong Yue gave birth to is?!"
"What did you say?" Tang Ning's face changed.
"I say, don't you want to know where Rong Yue's child is?"
Prince Cheng stood in front of the cell and faced the two people outside, trying his best to remain calm: "I know Rong Yue is sentimental. Even if she doesn't care about me and Xie Yin, she should care about her own bloodline. That is also your Rong family's child."
His voice was a little hoarse, "As long as you let me go...let me go..."
Prince Cheng was halfway through his words when he looked at Xiao Yan's cold eyes and suddenly remembered that he would not be able to escape safely after plotting treason, so he quickly changed his words.
"No, you don't have to let me go. As long as you don't kill me, although hiding weapons is a serious crime, I have a royal family member to guarantee that I won't be punished with death. As long as you can spare my life, I will accept exile in the end."
"As long as I can survive, I will tell you the whereabouts of the child and hand him over to you so that he can be reunited with Rong Yue and her son. How do you think?"
Tang Ning's palms felt a little cold: "You said he is still alive?"
"Of course, I kept him in a safe place. He is my blood after all..."
Prince Cheng 's words made Tang Ning look ugly.
She didn't expect that the child was still alive and in Xie Tianyu's hands. Her aunt might not care about Xie Yin, but could she not care about the child?
That was the bloodline she risked her life to give birth to, and also her own flesh and blood that she had never met...
"Song Tangning, Rong Yue treats you like her own daughter. She left Prince Cheng's mansion for you and turned against me. You should not want to see her sad, right?"
"As long as you let me go, I will definitely hand the person over to you."
For a moment, Tang Ning was moved by King Cheng 's words.
She was about to speak when Xiao Yan put his hand on her shoulder.
"Xie Tianyu, do you think people who enter the Criminal Division can still keep secrets?"
Xiao Yan looked at King Chen coldly , and his words made King Chen , who was originally certain that Tang Ning would agree, turn pale instantly.
"Don't mention that the child may not be alive. Even if he is, you are not qualified to use him to negotiate with me. I have plenty of ways to make you speak."
"Send him to the Criminal Department and have him treated properly."
