However, Chu Yihan’s lips curled up slightly upon hearing that. He felt better.

Chu Yihan intended to escort her back to the Marquis’s Manor. In the carriage, Su Yingxue still clung to Chu Yihan’s arm, visibly worried. “Lord Liang told me, Your Highness, you’re not allowed to meddle in Ministry of Justice matters. You struck the Seventh Prince this time. If the emperor uses the late emperor’s decree to hold you accountable…”

Su Yingxue’s beautiful eyes were filled with worry. She didn’t look for Chu Yihan because she didn’t want the emperor to have something on him.

Given their strained relationship and confrontations, she was deeply concerned.

Chu Yihan pinched her soft cheek. “Father’s decree forbids me from presiding over cases or intervening with the Ministry of Justice. However, 1 didn’t handle the case or interact with Ministry of Justice personnel. 1 struck Chu Chengye. He can’t use that decree.”

Su Yingxue pursed her lips and thought for a moment. That was indeed the case.

Chu Chengye planned to prevent Chu Yihan from overseeing or participating in the case.

Yet, Chu Yihan had merely provided a witness. Technically, he had only observed the case. Furthermore, Chu Chengye wasn’t a Ministry of Justice official. Chu Yihan had struck him, citing it as a teaching from the imperial uncle to a junior, which was completely justified!

Su Yingxue couldn’t help but find it amusing. Chu Chengye’s plan to prevent Chu Yihan from intervening backfired. He was instead beaten by Chu Yihan.

At that moment, he lay unconscious in the Ministry of Justice’s prison, possibly shedding tears of regret!

“But, Your Highness, why did you mistakenly kill Ministry of Justice officials?” Su Yingxue blurted out.

Chu Yihan’s aura immediately softened, inexplicably pressuring Su Yingxue.

Pursing her lips, Su Yingxue continued, “Your Highness, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to.”

Seeing Chu Yihan’s eyes redden, she felt she had touched upon a forbidden subject.

The bloodshot veins in Chu Yihan’s eyes seemed to encroach upon his eyeballs like vines, slowly corroding them.

“Because that year, the Ministry of Justice mishandled a case, resulting in an innocent’s death.”

“Innocent?” Su Yingxue sensed this innocent might be closely related to Chu Yihan.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yihan opened up about this matter.

“I was six years old then. I went out of the palace to play with my brother, accompanied by two trusted guards. It was joyous until he disappeared. Despite searching, 1 couldn’t find him. Upon returning, Father ordered the Ministry of Justice to find my brother. Instead, those two guards were sentenced for losing a prince due to inadequate guarding and publicly beheaded.”

As Chu Yihan recounted, Su Yingxue felt his heart’s helplessness and grief.

She hadn’t anticipated Chu Yihan had a missing twin brother from his childhood. His elder brother remained unfound, and those who cared for him were unjustly killed.

“So you…” Su Yingxue’s heart ached, contorting her expression.

“I didn’t kill him. I attacked, but he died later.” Chu Yihan’s lips curved mockingly.

Su Yingxue grasped the situation. “You were framed like this when you were only six?”

Chu Yihan dismissed it. “Framing isn’t restricted by age. Even when my brother disappeared, he was only six.”

A hint of apology lingered in his cold tone..fre(e)webno(v)el
