When the six thousand swords and sabers hesitantly fell, the iron knees knelt down one by one and lowered their proud heads. The corner of the bright yellow phoenix robe completely disappeared from the Meridian Gate. The messed up abacus returned to its original position. Everything finally returned to the right path. Qinxin and the others looked like they were laughing and crying at the same time. Shaoyuan's wound was soaked by the rain and he fainted. Duan Chang Feng hurriedly helped him up and found a place without rain to treat him.
Under the Meridian Gate, Tan Siwei silently raised his head to look at the two incomparably matched figures on the gate tower. He then lowered his head to look at his useless hands that couldn't even truss up a chicken. From Cao Hou's revolt until the dust settled, not only did he fail to protect anyone here, he had completely become a burden to Ning Shu and the others. So even though he was hot-blooded, he was still a useless scholar. How could he take over Xiahou Qing's task of taking care of Shu 'er? Not worthy, not worthy. He laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head. He gave Duan Chang Feng a hand and together they carried Shaoyuan to the corridor.
Separated by a distance of three zhang, Ning Shu stared unblinkingly at Xiahou Qing in front of her. Counting her fingers, it had only been a few days since she last saw this person, but she suddenly felt as if it was a lifetime ago. His figure was deeply reflected in her amber eyes. Looking at his jade-like face and the warmth on his lips, she felt a wave of anger in her heart. She was angry that this person had a heart of stone and didn't show his face in front of her. But looking at his frosty thin lips, she didn't know why she couldn't be angry.
So she curled her lips and said, "After Hui Mo left last night, there was no news of him. So it was you who sent him to sneak into the Celestial Prison and pretend to be my mother?"
"Yes. After I learned that Princess He Xin was locked in the Celestial Prison, I sent people to secretly look for a way. It wasn't until last night that I made a foolproof plan. I ordered Hui Mo to disguise himself in the prison and swap out your mother. Right now, Princess He Xin should have been properly sent back to the Duke's mansion by Tianwen. You will be able to see her when you return."
She asked again, "Then how did you know that the person hiding behind the scenes was Sir Duan?"
"Qian Dongbao."
"Did you purposely let that little fatty go?"
"The first time Qian Dongbao escaped in front of your eyes, he was caught by Jiusi. At that time, Jiusi sprinkled tracking powder on him. The powder is colorless and odorless, so even the sharpest person would not be able to detect it. However, it can be caught by a bird called the Birds of Bliss. It was also because of this that we were able to follow the vine to the melon and find the Zhao Family's old residence. It's just that it's difficult to change a ten-year obsession. It took me a long time to meet him in person and convince him to change his mind. This is also the reason why I couldn't contact you in time. I didn't mean to hide it from you. " His voice was low and deep, neither hurried nor slow. It was rare for him to be gentle and patient, as if he was thinking of a way to coax her not to be angry.
Ning Shu didn't want to accept it. If she was so easily coaxed by him, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? So she continued to put on a straight face and said, "You were the one who caused His Majesty to wake up. How did you do it?"
"The imperial harem is impregnable. If you want to fish in troubled waters, you can only do it with your wits. Empress Cao is indeed powerful in the imperial harem, but her only flaw is that the Sixth Prince, Xiao Yunyi, whom she regards as her biggest bargaining chip, has a biological mother. And this seemingly weak and low-key Yin Zhaoyi is not as desireless as she looks on the outside. As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. How could she refuse such a deal that has many benefits and no harm? In addition, the Thirteenth Princess secretly helped Sir Duan to successfully bring him into the palace. After treating His Majesty, he immediately disappeared without a trace. Only after the incident at the Meridian Gate is over and His Majesty wakes up can we set things right. "
"Treacherous."
Xiahou Qing slightly raised the corner of his mouth. "Didn't Little Shu also use the Fourth Prince openly? She joined forces with several courtiers to lead troops to attack the Dragon City Guards, which greatly restrained them. Because of this, I was able to smoothly carry out my plan on my side. So, we are the same.
Ning Shu silently rolled her eyes and finally asked the last question. "What if I didn't receive the message you sent and was forced to commit suicide in a moment of desperation? What would you have done?"
Xiahou Qing frowned and said unhappily, "Don't even think about it. If I wanted to hurt you, I would have to die first. You are the one who is wasting your time. You still have a lot of time to enjoy and waste. Don't talk about death. "
