Chapter 2621: Chapter 2621: Not Willing to Waste Time on Him

Neither of the two parties are ones he can afford to offend.

“Prefect He, tell the Prince Zhan and me about the ‘good deeds’ of Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince.” An Jiuyue tapped the table lightly, commanding him.

“Uh.”

Prefect He choked up, pursed his lips, unsure of what to do.

He raised his hand to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, frightened to death.

How should he speak? After all, that was the Fifteenth Prince, a member of the royal family. If he said something unpleasant here and the people in the capital heard it, wouldn’t they…

He hadn’t done anything particularly bad in his life, why force him like this?

“Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince… haven’t done any ‘good deeds’… uh, no, it’s not like that, Prince Zhan, Prince An Yang, ever since Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince arrived in Ying City, I have only met them a few times. I really don’t know much about them.”

What could he say? He could only feign ignorance.

He wasn’t sure what the two princes were here for. If it was to deal with the old hag Dowager Consort Yu, it would be fine; he could say anything.

But if it wasn’t, saying anything disrespectful about Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince was bound to bring disaster upon himself.

An Jiuyue looked at Prefect He’s terrified appearance and secretly rolled her eyes. It seemed that wanting to investigate anything from the prefect was impossible.

“Someone, come here.”

She snapped her fingers into the air.

The secret guards immediately entered and knelt before An Jiuyue.

“Master, what are your orders?”

“Go investigate everything Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince have done since arriving in Ying City, leave nothing out.” An Jiuyue ordered.

“Yes, Master. I will take my leave.”

The secret guards responded and withdrew, taking people to investigate Dowager Consort Yu and her son.

As for Prefect He, who was left behind, he wasn’t so lucky. An Jiuyue didn’t want to waste time with him, so she left him to Qian Jiyun.

“Jiyun, you deal with him here. I’ll take the treehouse and the others outside for a walk.”

“Alright.”

Qian Jiyun nodded, his sharp gaze swept toward Prefect He.

Prefect He was frightened by just an “alright”, trembling violently. If he could walk, he would have run away by now.

“Official He, I’m not a patient man. Will you speak, or shall I question you?” Qian Jiyun watched his wife walk away with the children, his cold voice curling toward Prefect He.

If it weren’t for this matter refusing to speak, why would he be left behind alone? He definitely would have gone out with An Jiuyue right now.

“Pr… Prince Zhan, I…”

Official He was so frightened that he kneeled on the ground, cautiously raising his head to look at Qian Jiyun.

How could he speak? He didn’t know why the two princes suddenly came to Ying City. If he knew, he would definitely cooperate, fully cooperate with the two princes!

However, he had a faint suspicion that the two princes might have come to punish Dowager Consort Yu and the Fifteenth Prince?

After all, Dowager Consort Yu was only a concubine of the Retired Emperor, and the current Emperor wouldn’t like this brother, the Fifteenth Prince, either. Perhaps he could take advantage of this golden opportunity to get rid of these two troublesome individuals?

“Speak!”

Qian Jiyun didn’t have time to dawdle with him here, shouting fiercely.

Prefect He was immediately frightened, crawling on the ground, responding repeatedly.
