Feng Zhiyao, who was standing behind them, glanced at him and said with a smile, "Tan Daren, what can you do if you don't believe me?"
Tan Jizhi was silent. Indeed, it had fallen into the hands of the Prince Ding Mansion. What could he do if he didn't believe it? If he believed it, he might have a way out. If he didn't believe it, he would die. Normally, Tan Jizhi wouldn't mind taking this gamble. But now, he didn't dare to gamble because he didn't have time. Once something happened, not to mention telling Mo Xiuyao the whereabouts of the blue sky flower, even if he personally brought the blue sky flower to Mo Xiuyao, it would be difficult to escape. Thinking of this, Tan Jizhi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry. Wangfei should know that even if you know the whereabouts of the blue sky flower, it can't be obtained overnight. But I still have things to do. I really can't stay here for long. Presumably … His Majesty's envoy has already arrived in Ruyang? "Tan Jizhi was very confident in his previous arrangements. As long as Mo Xiuyao hadn't openly said that he wanted to rebel against Chu, he still had to be wary of the envoy of the imperial court.
"Tan Jizhi … Lin Yuan, are you reminding I of your other identity?" Mo Xiuyao narrowed his eyes and asked. Even if he didn't like Mo Jingqi, it didn't mean that he would let go of a remnant of the previous dynasty. After all, it wasn't only Emperor Taizu who destroyed the previous dynasty. The ancestors of the Prince Ding Mansion also took most of the credit. So they were natural enemies. Tan Jizhi smiled helplessly. He had to wonder how many chances he had to walk out of Ruyang alive. After thinking for a moment, Tan Jizhi said, "Prince, whether it's Tan Jizhi or Lin Yuan, at least we don't have a conflict of interest right now, right? Killing Tan Jizhi won't do any good to the northwest and the Prince Ding Mansion's current situation. Also … Prince understands His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely make a big fuss about this and destroy the reputation of the Prince Ding Mansion. "Mo Xiuyao sneered disdainfully." Do you think I care about this? "
Tan Jizhi was indifferent. He really couldn't tell that Mo Xiuyao cared about the reputation of the Ding King's Palace. This was also the thing he couldn't figure out the most. As long as one wasn't a fool or a naturally fatuous ruler, anyone would know the importance of winning the hearts of the people. Even someone like Mo Jingqi, who clearly didn't care about the lives of the common people, was still very concerned about public opinion. But for the past half a year, no matter what Mo Jingqi said, the Northwest had not responded. It was as if they had tacitly agreed to all of Mo Jingqi's claims. Such a situation made Tan Jizhi faintly uneasy. With this kind of reaction, if Mo Xiuyao wasn't so dispirited that he was ready to give up, then he was ready to stir up chaos in the world. They would have to fight sooner or later anyway. Rather than trying to defend themselves now and making others think that they were hypocrites in the future, it would be better to not say anything from the beginning.
Tan Jizhi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Falling into the hands of the Prince this time, this one has lost. Wang Fei has also been to the Imperial Mausoleum. The treasures inside can be considered this one's apology for offending Wang Fei. Adding on the whereabouts of the Bi Luo Flower in exchange for this one's life. What does the Prince think? "Mo Xiuyao's expression was indifferent. It was clear that he wasn't interested in this at all. The Imperial Mausoleum was in the Northwest. If Mo Xiuyao was happy, he could send people to dig it up at any time. There really wasn't any need for Tan Jizhi to give it as a gift. Tan Jizhi hadn't expected to pass so easily. After thinking, he continued, "This one will also give you one hundred thousand taels of gold, as well as all of the secret bases in the Northwest and Jing. This … can this be considered sincere?" Ye Li looked at him with interest and said with a small smile, "Official Tan is really willing to pay." Tan Jizhi smiled helplessly and said, "No matter what, nothing is more important than one's life. Without one's life, what use is there in keeping anything else? Princess Consort, I don't think I have neglected you in the past few days. My previous rudeness can be considered as human nature. Is the price this one has paid not enough? "
Ye Li nodded in agreement with his words. If he had only captured him to threaten the Mohist army, then this kind of price and compensation was not small. After all, he hadn't really succeeded in taking her away to threaten Mo Xiuyao. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. But for some reason, Ye Li felt that there was a secret on him that was even more important than his identity. Lowering her eyes to think, Ye Li asked, "Official Tan, how do you know about the poison in the Prince's body and the cure?" Tan Jizhi calmly met her eyes and said with a smile, "This one has studied the Prince's case in the Imperial Hospital. And Wang Fei should know that father's medical skills … are not as good as those so-called divine doctors. This one has seen and heard since childhood, so naturally I have some experience. " Ye Li calmly stared at him for a long time. So long that Tan Jizhi thought that he had made a mistake that he shouldn't have. Then he heard Ye Li change the topic and ask, "Official Tan, how do you know Su Zuidie?"
As expected, it was this whore! Even though he had known the reason for his identity being exposed, but when Ye Li mentioned it, Tan Jizhi still wanted to skin Su Zuidie alive. He had calculated everything and hid by Mo Jingqi's side for ten years without revealing any flaws. He had secretly thought that he was flawless, but he hadn't thought that he would fall into the hands of this whore. Tan Jizhi couldn't help but feel regret. He shouldn't have underestimated Mo Xiuyao and Han Mingyue. If he wanted to kill that whore, there should have been a way to avoid the two of them. But he had been too careful and had instead caused a huge problem today.
"This …" Even though he had already torn Su Zuidie to pieces in his heart, Tan Jizhi's face didn't reveal any flaws. He looked at Mo Xiuyao with a faint smile and said, "Miss Su was the number one beauty in Da Chu State. I'm not the only one who had a relationship with her. Even the world famous Young Master Ming Yue also fell for Miss Su's pomegranate skirt. Young and frivolous … I've let Wang Fei see a joke. "In the cell, everyone's expression became a little strange. Everyone present was a trusted aide of the Prince Ding Mansion and naturally understood Su Zuidie's identity. Tan Jizhi's words were blatantly telling Mo Xiuyao that his former fiancée had made him a cuckold more than once.
Mo Xiuyao's expression was the same as usual. His handsome chin slightly raised as he looked at Tan Jizhi and asked, "You want I to immediately kill Su Zuidie, right?"
Tan Jizhi's heart trembled as he secretly reminded himself that going too far was as bad as not going far enough. He smiled and said, "If it wasn't for her, the Prince probably wouldn't know my identity right now, right? Who knew that a moment of carelessness in my early years would cause me to fall into such a situation. Naturally, I don't want Su Zuidie to live anymore. "
"What?" Mo Xiuyao smiled indifferently and no longer paid attention to Tan Jizhi. Tan Jizhi secretly sighed in relief. He understood that his life and death was now in Ye Li's hands. But what Ye Li cared about the most was Mo Xiuyao's life.
"Young Master Tan, how will you make this Consort believe that the whereabouts of the Falling Jade Flower you provided is true?" Ye Li asked softly.
Tan Jizhi smiled proudly and said, "Because in this world, no one knows the true whereabouts of the Falling Jade Flower except for me." Ye Li raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then this Consort can't believe you. After all, you're not willing to stay until this Consort obtains the Falling Jade Flower. Isn't this making things difficult for me? So … Lord Tan can leave, but Miss Shu must stay. "Everyone's gaze fell on Shu Manlin who was in the other cell. Shu Manlin didn't say anything because she knew that she couldn't be of any help. But she didn't expect that in the end, she would be dragged into this. She couldn't help but stand up and pounce on the bars of the cell. She angrily glared at Ye Li and said, "Ye Li, you're impudent! I'm the Southern Border's Holy Maiden, how dare you imprison me! "
