Xiahou Qing said faintly, "Many thanks for niangniang's praise, but it was just a little trick I learned from a trick master. How can it be compared to niangniang's methods?"
Everyone was the smartest group of people in the world. Since things had gotten to this point, there was no need to beat around the bush. The moment Zhang shi disappeared in the fire, Cao Hou had already predicted Xiahou Qing's plan. A strange fire and a strange and mysterious curse. When the "Empress Zhou" who had come back from the dead returned from the fire and appeared in front of the people, the shock it would cause would be a thousand times greater than tonight.
And the oath Zhang shi had sworn in front of the officials tonight would instantly turn into invisible arrows that would sweep towards them.
Just think, when the people all knew that the supreme power in the hands of the emperor of Great Yue and Feng Mu was stolen from the country, this heaven-shaking infamy would be enough to crush every saint in the world. At that time, if the king was not the king, how could the empress sit on the empress's throne!
This move locked onto the throat. It could not be said to be inaccurate, nor could it not be said to be poisonous! She had underestimated Xiahou Qing!
Cao Hou grew even more furious in the face of his nonchalant expression. "Xiahou Qing, have you ever thought that if you force me into a corner, the life of the person you've been longing for will be in danger?!"
Xiahou Qing shook his head slightly. "This humble subject is lowly, how could this humble subject dare to force niangniang? This is just a transaction. Niangniang does not wish for Zhang shi to appear again, and I only want to take one person away. As for the dispute from twenty-five years ago, it has nothing to do with me. As long as niangniang is willing to let Xiao Shu go, I swear on my life that as long as niangniang is alive, I will not let Zhang shi's people or her name see the light of day again, and I will not let her existence threaten niangniang in the slightest. This transaction is fair and just. No one will lose out. What does niangniang think? "
Cao Hou's elaborate attire for tonight's banquet was unavoidably mottled in the fire that had just been extinguished, in the pouring rain, and in the confrontation with Xiahou Qing. In the dim orange light, her long armor dug into her palms as she desperately suppressed it, maintaining the self-restraint and dignity that an empress should have. "Xiahou Qing, you are very good!"
"Good, ben gong promises you!"
After Cao Hou finished speaking, she did not wait for Xiahou Qing to respond. "However, ben gong has another condition."
Xiahou Qing's brows furrowed.
"Please speak." He had guessed that Cao Hou would not relent so easily.
Cao's the mouth. "Cao Hou Qing's lips curled up..... the moment the sun, the sun's the's, ben's the sun's, the moment's, the moment the sun's the's the ''s' ''s's the'?"
Jiu Si pressed down hard on Xiahou Qing's shoulder, indicating that he should not do so. There must be a trap.
Cao Hou laughed. "What? Are you worried that ben gong will kill you? Don't worry. You already have the world's most terrifying poison. Wouldn't it be unnecessary to kill you? Why would this consort dirty her own hands and get herself into trouble for no reason? "
Not far away, Xiao Yunyi, who was directing the palace guards to clean up the wreckage, witnessed their unique confrontation from a distance. His eyes flashed as an unfathomable dark light flashed through them. Then, he lowered his head without a word, as if it had nothing to do with him and continued to complete his mission.
Just as Xiahou Qing was hesitating, Cao Hou leisurely turned her back. In the pouring rain, her soft and cold voice was like a huge demon. "Listen carefully. This is ben gong's only chance to back down. You can think about it again. It's not a problem to think about it for three to five days. Ben gong has plenty of time to waste with you. However, I don't know if that little girl from the Ning family can afford to waste time. The water in that water prison is really cold. Xiahou Qing, do you have a choice? "
