As his eyes gradually became clearer, He Qiniang slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the familiar Li Xuan in front of her, He Qiniang hugged her legs in an instant, lowered her head, and said with sobs: "I'm sorry, I couldn't keep him."
From the side, you can even see the tears flowing from the corners of He Qiniang's eyes.
He Qiniang's actions made Li Xuan confused. Zhao Gong on the side immediately looked at Li Xuan with a strange look on his face.
Li Xuan shook her head angrily, then patted He Qiniang on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to blame yourself. Your mission has been completed. This time, he can't run away."
The sobs on He Qiniang's face gradually stopped, and finally she raised her head and looked at Li Xuan in confusion: "Really?"
"Really." Li Xuan nodded, then turned to ask: "Can you tell me in detail how you met him?"
"Yeah!" He Qiniang nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "I just entered the building from the outside, and was quickly taken to my room, and then sent to this secret room through the secret passage mechanism. When I met him...he wore a Fang Xiang mask on his face, and as soon as we met he asked me directly whether Zhou...Zhou Zhi was still alive."
When it comes to Zhou Zhi, although He Qiniang is a little embarrassed to say it, she still hates it a lot.
This time, Li Xuan's plan can be guaranteed to be implemented, and He Qiniang will be allowed to see the man in Tsing Yi with the poison.
And the most fundamental guarantee for this is that no one outside now knows whether Zhou Zhi is still protecting him.
For people in Tsing Yi, this point is very important. Li Xuan also calculated this point correctly before daring to manipulate He Qiniang's body.
Yuchi Xunyu had already taken Bai Ying's (pseudo) body to receive the reward. Fortunately, Zhao Gong went one step ahead and went to the Ministry of Punishment to make arrangements.
It would be very troublesome if people really found out that it was actually Zhou Zhi who died and not Bai Ying.
After all, if White Eagle falls into the hands of Qianniuwei, the real worry should be Wanxiang Pavilion, but if Zhou Zhi falls into the hands of Qianniuwei, the people in Tsing Yi will be worried.
Even though Zhou Zhi didn't know the true identity of the people in Tsing Yi, he knew how many things the people in Tsing Yi had done through Qinxiangyuan.
Once these things are traced out, then the man in Tsing Yi and the people behind him, all the arrangements during this period may be overturned.
Therefore, when He Qiniang returned to Qinxiangyuan, the people in Tsing Yi didn't even bother to investigate her, and immediately wanted to find out Zhou Zhi's situation.
"What did you say?" Zhao Gong stared at He Qiniang.
He Qiniang said calmly: "I followed what you taught me, saying that Bai Ying was dead and Zhou Zhi was still alive, and was taken to Qianniu Prison half an hour ago. But he didn't believe it."
Under the gazes of Li Xuan and Zhao Gong, He Qiniang stretched out her hand and pressed her neck unnaturally, and then continued: "He strangled my neck as soon as he reached it, but the next moment, his expression changed. He He couldn't breathe, and he suddenly felt groggy, as if he was about to fall into a deep sleep. But soon, he woke up. He made a cut on his thigh, but he did it very quickly, and the blood did not drip to the ground at all. ,"
He Qiniang subconsciously lowered her head and looked at a place not far ahead. Zhao Gong on one side secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Xuan twitched her nose and smelled it, and it seemed that there really was the smell of blood in the air.
He even deliberately grabbed it in mid-air, as if he could really catch some blood.
At this moment, He Qiniang looked at Li Xuan anxiously: "So, can we still catch him now?"
"Of course, he can't run away." Li Xuan looked at the bed under the west wall and glanced at Zhao Gong. Zhao Gong nodded. Then Li Xuan said: "When we were entangled with Ningqin Xiangyuan, The Jinwu Guards from the brigade have already arrived to search the entire Pingkangfang on the grounds of investigating the Tibetan conspiracy."
Of course, Li Xuan would not tell He Qiniang that this kind of search was more of a bluff. Although it was impossible to catch the man in Tsing Yi, he had to rest easily.
Pingkangfang is too big and its background is too complicated.
Even if the Jinwu Guards have an imperial edict, they may not be willing to carry out a comprehensive search, but fortunately, they are just doing this to alert the snake.
The poison administered by Li Xuan has a characteristic, that is, it bursts out violently at the beginning, but is easily suppressed.
But once you suppress it, the harder you suppress it now, the more powerful it will be when it fully explodes in the future.
It is impossible for the man in Tsing Yi to stay in Pingkangfang tonight, because he doesn't know if Li Xuan has other means tonight.
If he is targeted by Li Xuan, then there will be endless means to stack up.
Even though he has already headed towards his home, tonight, all the houses in Chang'an City will be strictly investigated.
Tonight, even if he was allowed to rest, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing.
In the end, he didn't even notice that he was excited and just thought everything was normal. But by tomorrow, it would be too late.
"Now that I've caught him, can I kill him with my own hands?" He Qiniang raised her head and looked at Li Xuan pitifully.
Li Xuan thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not going to lie to you, it's not difficult to catch him. What's difficult is to kill him whenever the court wants. He knows a lot, and the harder it is to kill him, unless you join the secret service now." Guard, otherwise, it will be difficult for him to fall into your hands, but if you join the secret guard, you can use any other means on him except killing him."
That person can die directly in Li Xuan's hands, but he must not let Li Xuan be delivered into He Qiniang's hands and let her kill someone.
Li Xuan is not brainless, how could he do such a thing.
He Qiniang didn't care at all what Li Xuan said. She turned to look at Zhao Gong and couldn't help but ask: "Can I join the secret guard?"
Zhao Gong stared at He Qiniang. After looking up and down, he said, "You have three choices now."
He Qiniang was suddenly stunned, then nodded silently.
Zhao Gong continued to speak and said: "First, you can leave Qinxiangyuan now. When the time comes, when Dalang takes action, you can follow him. If you want to take action, you must have the best chance.
Second, you can join the secret guard. When the time comes, that person may fall into your hands again. I can arrange it, but I can't guarantee it.
Thirdly, you can choose to return to the palace. The Queen has already found out your matter and will surely bring justice to your family soon. You can go back to your hometown and marry an ordinary person, or you can continue to stay in the palace. The Queen will grant you a position as a female official in the palace. "
After Zhao Gong finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked up at Li Xuan, and then saw Li Xuan sitting there with a calm expression.
Zhao Gong felt relieved.
It was at this moment that He Qiniang made a decision: "I want to return to the palace."
After saying that, He Qiniang glanced at Li Xuan pitifully, and then said firmly with tears in her eyes: "There is no one in my family anymore. Because of what happened back then, the clan has already kicked us out of the family tree. My father And my brother... I don't have any relatives now. Only by returning to the palace, only by returning to the palace, can I truly take revenge.
Although Zhou Zhi was the main person who framed my family in what happened back then, I knew that there were people behind him, and the only way to catch them all was to go to the palace. "
Li Xuan gently patted the back of He Qiniang's hand and said softly: "Whatever you choose is fine, but after you enter the palace, I won't be able to help you anymore, and even my uncle can't interfere... Fortunately The Queen of Heaven has mercy. In the beginning, your starting point will not be too low, but after that, you will have to work hard on your own."
"I know." He Qiniang nodded heavily, a trace of ambition flashed in her eyes. The queen's attention was the starting point of her success.
Immediately, He Qiniang looked up at Li Xuan and asked pitifully: "If I'm in trouble, can I come to you?"
"Of course." Li Xuan agreed directly and said warmly: "There is no need to hide things between you and me from others. In fact, you can't hide them. If something happens, you might as well come to me directly, but you have to understand. There are not many places where I can exert my strength in matters in the palace."
He Qiniang suddenly smiled: "It's okay, you just need to let people know that you are our benefactor."
Li Xuan also smiled.
…
After sending He Qiniang out of the secret room, Zhao Gong looked at the entrance of the tunnel and sighed softly: "Another ambitious one."
"If she leaves the palace, her final choice is to find an honest man to marry. She will choose a son in the future to inherit the He family. But the problem is that she is already used to enjoying the glory and wealth." Li Xuan shook her head calmly. Shaking his head, he said calmly: "Allowing her to join the Secret Guard seems to be a right, but she may not be able to bear the pain, and she may not be able to bear the risks. Therefore, in the end, she can only return to the palace and use the Queen I felt guilty for a moment and found a good place in the palace.”
"What about the future? Will I find a way for you to help me?" Zhao Gong's lips sneered.
Li Xuan did not answer Zhao Gong's question, but said softly: "Her family was framed because of their involvement in the Shangguan Yi case. If her family had no relationship with the Shangguan family, this would not have been possible. Now the Shangguan family's The granddaughter is already twelve years old, and her mother, Mrs. Zheng, happens to be beside the Queen of Heaven. When she sees He Qiniang, she will definitely give her some support."
"So your target is Zheng Shanggong." Zhao Gong couldn't help but shook his head in disbelief.
I said it was Shangguan Wan'er, do you believe it?
Li Xuan turned her head, looked at Thirteenth Niang who was sleeping on the ground, and said softly: "The rest is the end of these things tonight."
"The White Eagle of Wanxiang Pavilion who was captured before will be tortured out everything he knows."
"But the key thing is not Bai Ying." Li Xuan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "Now almost everyone knows that we have captured Zhou Zhi, and someone will definitely find a way to get Zhou Zhi out of Qianniu Prison. I need I know the name of the person I entrusted with the relationship at that time, and once Qian Niuwei agrees to hand him over, someone will definitely rob him on the way to hand him over. I am afraid that another group of people will die by then. I need to know The background of those people.”
If it is indeed Zhou Zhi who was arrested, then being a Qianniu Guard would not really be a headache. After all, Zhou Zhi is a court official and should be under the control of Dali Temple by law.
But if it wasn't Zhou Zhi, then Qian Niuwei would inevitably have to do something.
Peiping County Prince Li Jingjia is not someone to be trifled with. It is normal for him to trick a group of people to death.
"It's not difficult." Zhao Gong nodded casually.
Li Xuan continued calmly: "Then there is Qinxiang Garden."
"Those officials, I'm afraid people from Dali Temple are on their way here now, and the censor has already written an impeachment letter." Zhao Gong looked solemn.
The Queen's methods are astonishingly fast.
"So, we need to search the entire Qinxiang Garden as quickly as possible, find out all the things in all the secret rooms, light and dark, and take them away, especially the women in the palace. Dali Temple cannot take them away, and Those who do not belong to the palace and have no interest in Dali Temple..."
"We are already searching, and the confessions are being recorded separately. There are only a few that are really valuable here. When handing over the order, we just need a little time." Zhao Gong sighed lightly. He has been doing this for a long time, and he has various The method is very skillful.
"In the end, it's her." Li Xuan tapped Thirteenth Mother with her foot.
"Don't worry, she will become the person who hates the man in Tsing Yi the most in the world!"
