Crazy criticizes the regent for reading my mind and his character collapses

Shaoyao said: "This servant feels that their target seems to be Your Majesty. When the assassins saw the situation exposed just now, their first reaction was to attack His Majesty's stand-in, as if they would rather die than kill Your Majesty."

This made Li Qingmo's eyes become even colder.

The goal of these people was to kill Nan'er, which made him feel more uncomfortable than wanting to kill him.

Who has such hatred for Nan'er?

The remnants of the Blue Bird?

An enemy spy?

"Xia Rui." Li Qingmo said, "Ask the people who are staring at Qingci if there is anything strange over there?"

"Yes."

Nan Xi asked Li Qingmo: "Do you suspect that Qingci and the others are up to something?"

Li Qingmo said bluntly: "It is unlikely. Even if Qingci has the intention to rebel, it is impossible for her to have such strength in such a short period of time. However, we do not rule out that she is colluding with others. It is safer to find out."

"I think they want to kill me, but they don't want to kill you." Nan Xi carefully recalled all the details before going back in time.

[When the post manager was fighting with Li Qingmo, he was obviously restrained in every way. He seemed to be afraid of something and didn't dare to really kill Li Qingmo. 】

Li Qingmo: "?"

Could it be her?

He immediately revised a letter, sealed it with beeswax, and handed it to Xia Rui.

"Send someone to hand it over to Prince Chu immediately."

"Yes."

The assassins in the post house were all caught, so Li Qingmo felt relieved and took Nan Xi and the others into the house to keep warm.

"Paeony and lotus root, protect Nan'er." Li Qingmo was about to go out.

Nan Xi quickly grabbed his hand: "Where are you going?"

She had just experienced the pain of losing Li Qingmo, and she couldn't bear the slightest bit of separation from him.

"I will interrogate those people." Li Qingmo said softly.

Nan Xi stood up and held his hand tighter, "I'll go with you."

[At least I have met those people once, maybe I can find some different details. 】

Li Qingmo knew that she was actually more afraid and worried about herself.

Nodding, he held her hand.

"Ok."

All the assassins and corpses were dumped in the stable south of the post house.

Stinks.

It's cold.

Li Qingmo felt a little regretful at this moment for letting people leave them here.

"Find a bigger room and bring everyone alive." He ordered.

The snow is too heavy and Nan'er cannot be allowed to freeze here.

He held Nan Xi's hand, put it to his lips, and used the hot breath to warm her.

Nan Xi shook his head gently: "I'm not cold."

But there is a kind of coldness that makes Li Qingmo think you are cold.

He took off his fox fur and wrapped it around Nan Xi's body. He also put the hat on her back, covering it tightly, leaving only a small face exposed.

"Be obedient." Li Qingmo's voice was very soft, so soft that no one except Nan Xi could hear it.

His voice was very heavy again, so heavy that it left a deep mark on Nan Xi's heart.

The living assassin was quickly thrown into another room.

Nan Xi followed Li Qingmo.

In such a short period of time, Xia Rui didn't know where he found so many torture instruments. There was also a pot of red-hot charcoal in the middle of the room.

Li Qingmo first had Tang Pozi prepared to warm Nan Xi's hands, and then sat with her on the Grand Master's chair side by side.

"Who says it first? My patience is limited." He glanced at those people lightly.

Of course no one wanted to speak.

Otherwise they wouldn't be hiding poison in their teeth.

But now that the poison has been taken away and their acupuncture points have been sealed, it is now difficult to die.

No one spoke, so Li Qingmo glanced at Xia Rui.

Xia Rui immediately picked up the branding iron from the hot coals, pulled someone over, pulled out his tongue, and stamped it with the branding iron.

The red-hot iron pressing down on the tongue is not an ordinary pain.

The man's tears were streaming down his face and he wanted to struggle, but his acupuncture points were sealed again. I can only endure it so hard.

Li Qingmo played with Nan Xi's hand, and his cold voice sounded a bit lazy.

"Is there anything you want to say now?"

Still no one.

Li Qingmo glanced at Xia Rui: "Continue."

Xia Rui randomly pulled over another person, pulled out his tongue, and burned it on with a branding iron.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt meat, and looking at those two people, it hurt just thinking about it.

This time Li Qingmo didn't ask any questions and said directly: "Continue."

The third person was also pulled over.

Although the others did not feel the pain of the soldering iron, they were frightened just by looking at it.

Not to mention again and again.

This kind of psychological pressure can torture people to the point of collapse.

"I, I said." When the fifth person was pulled over, he said as if he was resigned to his fate, "We are sent by the Prince of Xichu."

Li Qingmo: "Haha, continue."

Xia Rui changed the soldering iron and pressed it directly.

Then he got another glass of chili water and forced it into his mouth.

The wound was already painful enough, but drinking the pepper water made it even more painful.

Li Qingmo: "This is the price of lying."

Nanxiong was puzzled: "How are you sure what he said is false?"

"Chu Tianyi has promised us that he owes us a favor. It is absolutely impossible for him to send someone to assassinate you. What's more, he has no reason to kill you."

Nan Xi looked at him, "You actually already have the answer in your mind, don't you?"

【It must be that person. 】

[She is probably the only person in the world who has the ability to set up such a trap but doesn't want to kill Li Qingmo. 】

Li Qingmo held Nan Xi's hand tightly and then took a deep breath.

He asked those people: "Who did the Princess of Western Chu give you the order to kill? Whoever says it first can leave alive. I will do what I say."

These people are not afraid of death, but they are more afraid of life than death.

So, someone was hired quickly.

"The eldest princess ordered us to kill Nan Xi at all costs."

Li Qingmo's eyes narrowed, "Besides you, did you send anyone else?"

The man nodded: "Yes, but I don't know who exactly, how many people there are, and where the ambush is."

Li Qingmo believed what he said was true.

"Let him go."

This man was really let go.

But he was not happy.

Because the whole world is so vast, there is no place for him.

Before leaving the Twin Cities, he became a corpse.

The person Xia Rui sent to keep an eye on him came back and reported: "Master, that man is dead, and the person who killed him entered Shuanghuayuan in the city."

"brothel?"

"It's a women's bathhouse."

Nan Xi looked at Li Qingmo: "You deliberately let that man go, just to see if there are any enemies in the city?"

Li Qingmo: "The enemy is hidden and we are exposed, we must be on guard."

After a pause, he looked at Hanlian and Shaoyao: "You two go to Shuanghuayuan."

"Yes."

It was late at night soon, and Li Qingmo carried Nan Xi to the bedroom, and went to the carriage to get her the best sky silk quilt.

"It's very late. Let's sleep for a while. I'll call you when Shaoyao and Hanlian come back."

Where can Nan Xi sleep?

He simply moved inside, patted the place next to him, and said, "Come up too."
