Chapter 386: Handsome Supervisor fiercely woos 09

Jin Chen now feels helpless.

I doubt I'm really the Mandate of Heaven Emperor Star.

"Why, aren't there still two princes?"

He wanted to keep asking, but unfortunately, with the current favorability, Xuan Che had no intention of telling him the reason at all.

"Your Highness, just do as I say; I would never bring harm to you."

Xuan Che changed the subject, as if that solemn person just now wasn't him.

Jin Chen was at a loss, Jin Chen felt lost.

Not wanting to be emperor, but it seems I'm the only choice, and it's my wife's demand—what to do?

Then of course I can only grit my teeth and go ahead.

He let out a long, long, long, long sigh.

【Host, open up a bit; once you become emperor, no one will stop you from being with Little Pitiful One!】0731 tried to advise.

Jin Chen snorted; it was clear it didn't regard the civil and military officials.

"Your Highness, you've been weary from travel these past days; you must be tired, so rest well today."

After showing Jin Chen around the palace, Xuan Che seemed to have other matters and was ready to take his leave.

Jin Chen was unhappy, muttering in a voice he could hear.

"It was better when I was Xiao Qi; now I'm busy every day."

Hearing that, Xuan Che clung to Jin Chen's neck in a flattering way, cooing, "I'll come keep you company after I'm busy."

"You'd better be."

Jin Chen pinched his delicate chin, placed a kiss on his crimson lips, and stood tall despite Xuan Che's surprised gaze.

"Stamp it, lest the busy Supervisor Sir forget to come."

The warm sensation on the lips was quite remarkable; Xuan Che understood even more what this gesture meant, meaning Jin Chen truly didn't care about his own status.

His phoenix eyes slightly reddened; he felt there would never be a day as happy as today.

【Detected Villain Heartthrob Value +10, total 15!】

【Detected Villain Blackening Value -5, total 85!】

After they hugged a while longer, Xuan Che, having received a signal from the dark guards outside the window, had to leave first.

As soon as he left, Jin Chen felt the huge palace was lifeless, lacking even something to pass the time.

Spicy Comment: 【Host, you don't look like a future emperor at all.】

【What do I look like then?】

Jin Chen instinctively felt it had nothing good to say, and sure enough, the next second.

【Like a resentful woman in the deep palace waiting for the emperor's favor.】

Good, he decisively threw that certain system into the little black room.

——

Another side.

After Xuan Che reached the East Splendid Gate, the smile at the corners of his eyes was deliberately withdrawn, and he returned to a blank expression.

Amid the sounds of worship, he entered the Eastern Depot prison.

Here are detained court criminals who refuse to admit guilt, as well as various people who threaten the realm.

Once arrested by the Eastern Depot, one cannot live nor die; even if the truth is eventually spoken, one inevitably suffers.

Thus, everyone in the capital regards it as a hell on earth.

And Xuan Che is the absolute ruler of this hell.

Upon entering, the temperature in the air dropped considerably.

Wails and screams came from every cell; all the depot guards had grown accustomed to it, even thinking those who don't shout are abnormal.

"Greetings, Supervisor Sir."

Upon seeing Xuan Che, the depot guards immediately knelt and paid respects.

Xuan Che walked into the interrogation hall, coldly saying, "Everyone rise, has Jin Hua Xuan not come yet?"

"Reporting to the Supervisor, the Eldest Prince is waiting in the side chamber," Yan An said.

"Let him in; I really want to see what excuse he still has."

"Here."

Yan An gestured with his eyes to his subordinates; immediately someone went to fetch Jin Hua Xuan.

This was the first time Xuan Che had met him alone since his rebirth.

In his previous life, Jin Hua Xuan's arrogant and smug foolish smile still seemed imprinted in Xuan Che's mind.

Until his own death, that fool thought he had willingly bowed down, and losing meant apologizing with death.

Such a foolish person, Xuan Che had also seen another.

Now still indulging all day in cultivating the Dao to become an immortal is the Emperor Qian Yong.

Now it seems this father and son are cut from the same cloth of foolish arrogance.

"Xuan Che! Why did you have someone bring me here?! Do you know who I am?! I am the future Son of Heaven of Jin State!"

Jin Hua Xuan was furious, even lashing out without regard for his image.

It seemed that way, allowing him to find a trace of security from power in this terrifying, oppressive environment.

His little trick was seen by Xuan Che, who remained unimpressed, took a sip of tea, and then spoke with absolute explosiveness.

"Don't say you're not yet the Son of Heaven; even if you were, this seat would still not regard you, for example… your father emperor."

Xuan Che raised his eyes; his deep phoenix eyes seemed to hold infinite killing intent and indifference, as if looking at ants.

Such a gaze and words made Jin Hua Xuan feel a chill run through their body.

"You must have come today by the emperor's order, to apologize."

Xuan Che gently skimmed the foam off the tea with the porcelain lid, lowered their eyes, and said, "Then let this seat see how sincere the Crown Prince is, before deciding."

The candles in the Interrogation Hall were all lit, torture devices lined the walls, each having seen blood, each having tormented prisoners, exuding a fierce aura.

Although braziers surrounded them, Jin Hua Xuan felt only icy cold.

They still didn't suspect that if their approach dissatisfied Xuan Che, they might not make it out of the Eastern Depot Main Gate today.

Had I known Xuan Che was truly this ruthless, I wouldn't have acted on the road; a mere Jin Chen could be killed with any excuse in the palace.

No matter how unwilling they felt, Jin Hua Xuan had to obediently kneel and kowtow.

"It was my oversight; I shouldn't have nearly injured Supervisor Sir, and from now on I will be more careful, avoiding any conflict with Supervisor Sir."

"Overlooked?"

Xuan Che questioned, "You mean you still want to act against Jin Chen in the future?"

"No need to trouble Supervisor Sir; you won't interfere in the Crown Prince's succession struggle, will you?" Jin Hua Xuan's tone was sarcastic.

"Very well..."

A cold smile flickered at the corner of their eyes as they looked at Jin Hua Xuan as if at a corpse.

"If so, this seat believes the Crown Prince's action was unintentional, but this remaining assassin has not yet been interrogated."

Xuan Che casually tossed aside the teacup, gesturing for Yan An to bring forward the sole bandit assassin captured alive during their earlier encounter.

"How about the Crown Prince joins this seat in the interrogation?"

They didn't bother asking whether Jin Hua Xuan consented, having someone bring over a chair to sit.

As the assassin was dragged up and hung, their body was already covered in wounds, though these were merely from the fight on that mountain road.

Xuan Che rose slowly, their pale, slender fingertips gliding over the torture devices mounted on the wall, finally settling on one and selecting it.

It was an iron object shaped like a comb.

"The Crown Prince may not have seen such an object before; it is called an iron-tooth comb."

As they spoke, they walked toward the assassin whose consciousness was still hazy.
