The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!

Chapter 1001: Chapter 839: Dying With Eyes Open

Duke Cheng’en fell silent for a moment, “How are we to believe your words?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yechi immediately set down the dagger and pushed the Princely Heir toward Duke Cheng’en, “To show my sincerity, I can first tell you that the Death Exemption Token is placed behind the plaque in Taihe Hall. You should have people in the palace who can verify this, and if you choose not to believe me, you can let someone go and check.”

Duke Cheng’en looked hesitant, “Why would you keep such an important item in the palace?”

Xiao Yechi smiled faintly, “Keeping it outside, it could be stolen or lost. If my father ever needs the Death Exemption Token, he will undoubtedly be brought into the palace for trial. Placing it in Taihe Hall is just right.”

Duke Cheng’en nodded at the Princely Heir.

The Princely Heir immediately covered his neck with his hand and left the study.

Seeing him leave, Xiao Yechi did not show any sign of worry.

Duke Cheng’en asked, “Aren’t you afraid that once my son leaves, he will summon the Hidden Guard to capture you?”

Xiao Yechi laughed, “No, the Jiang Family is almost at odds with the emperor, and also, your legitimate eldest grandson has died. I can’t believe that you don’t want revenge.”

“You must be conspiring something now, and being short of money, how could you refuse the treasure left by our grandfather emperor?”

“And besides, aren’t you still here? I’m confident that, the moment before the Hidden Guard rushes in, I can make you my hostage.”

Duke Cheng’en glared at Xiao Yechi coldly and snorted without saying a word.
