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.
