You were asked to impersonate the King of Qin, not to become emperor!

Seeing that Chen Xuan was intent on killing, Zhou Xudong quickly said:

"I beg Your Highness to spare my life for the sake of Prince Ning. I am Prince Ning's adopted son, and my father has a very close relationship with Prince Ning."

Zhou Xudong's words pointed out the powerful figure behind him. However, the person he was referring to was the one Chen Xuan disliked most among the royal family.

This man was Emperor Jin's cousin, had made contributions to the founding of the dynasty, and held great prestige within the imperial clan.

Originally, the imperial clan was very supportive of Chen Xuan, but the branch represented by Prince Ning, influenced by Prince Yan, had always doubted his identity and secretly impeached him in front of Emperor Jin.

"So that's why you're so arrogant. Did you have Prince Ning backing you up?" Chen Xuan said with a wry smile.

Zhou Xudong seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope and desperately pleaded, "Please, King Qin, spare my life."

"You have committed a capital offense, insulting the royal family. Prince Ning cannot protect you! Guards, thoroughly investigate all crimes committed by the magistrate's office, and execute Zhou Xudong by making him ride the wooden donkey. Parade him through the streets as a public spectacle!"

Chen Xuan never expected that this trip would be such a narrow escape.

Let's get rid of this adopted son of Prince Ning and see his reaction!

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xudong turned pale.

This criminal law was specifically applied to women who had lost their morals, and he, as the son of the county magistrate, was a highly respected and upright figure in Ling County.

He never imagined that he would be humiliated and tortured to death in this way.

In his anger, he blurted out, "If you insist on going your own way, my godfather will surely seek justice for me. I hope that the King of Qin will reconsider for the sake of the Prince of Ning!"

"Is this a threat to me?" Chen Xuan sneered. How dare a lowly thing threaten him?

"Send the order to have all the people of the city come and watch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xuan slowly left.

All the key figures in the county magistrate's office were thrown into death row.

When Zhou Xudong was paraded naked through the streets, the people of Ling County felt a sense of relief.

Over the years, this father and son, relying on the power of Prince Ning, have done whatever they wanted in Ling County, accumulating countless grievances among the people.

"Guards, have the people of Ling County write a petition accusing the Zhou family of crimes committed in Ling County by relying on the power of Prince Ning. I must report this to my father, the Emperor!"

Now that we have such a good handle in our hands, wouldn't it be a waste not to take the initiative?

"Chen Feng, Chen Zhi, Chen Heng, and Chen Yong have all fallen. Next, it's Prince Ning's turn." Chen Xuan knew that he absolutely couldn't bring down Prince Ning with just this.

However, once this matter is made public, Prince Ning's prestige will inevitably be damaged, and his credibility in filing a complaint with Emperor Jin will be questionable.

"Hehe, it's time to go see Wan'er."

Chen Xuan smiled wickedly and then walked into the secret room.

Seeing Li Muwan dressed in a pitiful outfit, Chen Xuan smiled slightly. "Have you thought it through? Do you want to come with me? Or do you want to continue your insistence? I've already brought your sister to the manor."

Although Li Muwan was unwilling, she was now completely under Chen Xuan's control.

Even her younger sister was brought to the mansion.

Her struggles were futile.

"I do."

Chen Xuan's lips curled into a smile as he said, "From now on, all secret reports written by Father must be handled according to my instructions. Anyone who dares to cheat will bear the consequences!"

Li Muwan nodded slowly.

The hunger of the past few days had worn down her will, and now she had developed a dependence on Chen Xuan.

Even dressed like this, she felt no sense of humiliation whatsoever.

"All the tenderness you've shown me over the years has been a lie. Now, how will you repay me?" Chen Xuan asked Li Muwan, hinting at his intentions.

Chen Xuan firmly believed that only physical binding could ultimately form the final binding.

As the core member of Emperor Jin's secret guards, Chen Xuan naturally dared not be careless in the slightest when it came to Li Muwan.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Muwan frowned.

"After being my white moonlight for so many years, it's not too much to ask you to give me your body, is it?" Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Li Muwan hesitated for a moment, but Chen Xuan didn't care and pressed her down on her waist.

The atmosphere in the secret room instantly became ambiguous.

With Li Muwan dressed like this, there was no way she could escape.

Chen Xuan knew he absolutely could not show weakness, especially towards such a dangerous woman.

Compared to Wang Qingyi and Zhen Mi, Li Muwan suffered a lot.

The former is a normal expression of tenderness.

The latter is a political objective and an extraordinary exercise in the sense of control.

Although they seem to differ by only two words, they are worlds apart in practice.

Poor Deng Mei, waiting outside the secret room, spent the entire day and night listening to these blush-inducing sounds.

However, as his personal bodyguard, she had to ensure the King of Qin's safety at all times.

Although she resisted the sound, the images in her mind were generated automatically and clearly.

"Do not look at what is improper, do not look at what is improper," Deng Mei muttered to herself.

After a long while, Li Muwan lay on the ground, her face pale, as if all her strength had been drained, her voice weak: "When will you give me my freedom?"

"Based on your performance, I will grant you your freedom when I feel safe enough. However, I advise you not to try any tricks, because I can see through any of them!"

Then, Chen Xuan brought out a pen and paper and had Li Muwan write a secret report to the Jin Emperor.

Li Muwan had already exhausted a great deal of energy, and at this moment, she didn't even have the strength to get up. She just held the pen and finished writing the secret report according to Chen Xuan's instructions.

"Tell me, how do I send a message to my father?"

Li Muwan said weakly, "There is a butcher shop in Qing County, Liangzhou, which is the base where I received my secret letter."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly. "Very good. Next, all we need to do is have Li Rou deliver this letter."

Soon, Chen Xuan left the secret room and arrived at Li Rou's private room.

Li Rou had been surprised earlier, but by the time she returned to Chen Xuan's residence, she had gradually recovered.

She could hardly believe that a prince would personally come to save her, a commoner like herself.

Could it be because of...my sister?

"Zhou Xudong, who bullied you, has been executed. You can stay here in peace. As long as you do as I say, you will soon see your sister," Chen Xuan said, looking at Li Rou.

Li Rou was simple-minded, and besides, Chen Xuan was her savior. She didn't think much of it and said, "It is a blessing for the people of Ling County that such a villain as Zhou Xudong has been brought to justice. Thank you, Prince Qin, for doing justice for my daughter."

After saying that, he was about to kneel down, but Chen Xuan stopped him.

"Your Highness, will I really be able to see my sister again?"

"Of course I can. Tomorrow, you will impersonate your sister and deliver this secret letter to the designated location. At the same time, I will have someone train you. You don't need to ask any questions. In short, just focus on your work and you will be able to see your sister." Chen Xuan smiled, appearing completely harmless.

Sure enough, his words quickly won Li Rou's trust.
