Agent Abandoned Concubine: Tyrant, beg for favor

Chapter 368 Stealing Secrets
Xu Zheng thought about going to Su Xuyuan's study to find something. After all, the Queen Mother was coming to rescue them. If they didn't come up with some secrets, they might lose their lives if they went back. It's hard to imagine that the Queen Mother would be so ruthless.

The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and the lights in the corridor looked dim. The dozing servant was lying on the side of the road, not knowing that Xu Zheng passed by him, let alone where Xu Zheng was going and what he was going to do.

Xu Zheng came to Su Xuyuan's study along the long corridor, but saw Su Xuyuan standing at the door of the study with a heavy face. Xu Zheng hurriedly found a place to squat down, and then secretly observed Su Xuyuan's movements, only thinking that Su Xuyuan would leave as soon as possible.

He was a little confused in his heart, he wanted to find some secrets, those secrets about the queen mother, and also wanted to find some tactics of how Su Xuyuan would deal with Su Ruoqi tomorrow, if he got it, he could go back to the queen mother and live a stable life, He was a little scared, afraid that the queen mother would do something against him after taking him back.

An Lan had just given birth to a child, and he didn't want anything to happen to An Lan and An Sheng.

Finally, Su Xuyuan pushed open the door. After such a long time, Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately walked to the door of the study, but heard a sound of stones moving. He immediately opened the door and saw Su Xuyuan walked into a secret Xu Zheng looked around, flipped through the documents at hand, and then sneaked into the secret passage to eavesdrop. Su Xuyuan seemed to be talking to another person, but he couldn't hear the content of the conversation.

Xu Zheng, who found nothing, returned to his room. An Lan had just returned from An Sheng's room. Seeing Xu Zheng's sad face, she walked forward and gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"What's wrong? Where did you go just now?" An Lan asked softly.

"No, I can't sleep, so I went for a walk." Xu Zheng knew that An Lan cared about him, so he decided to tell An Lan after the investigation.

"Tell me if you have anything." An Lan touched Xu Zheng's face, then snuggled into his arms. Xu Zheng hugged An Lan, then slowly closed his eyes and sighed.

"It's okay, I just thought about the past." Xu Zheng didn't want An Lan to be involved in such a complicated matter, so he patted An Lan's head, "Let's rest earlier."

An Lan raised her head slightly, and seeing Xu Zheng's frown, she fell into a restless sleep.

On the second day, the queen mother sat in her seat, frowning, waiting for the latest news from the front line. She felt uneasy. It would be a good idea to form an alliance with Su Ruoqi at this time, but after the event...

Su Ruoqi is also a huge threat to her, so a conspiracy is brewing in the queen mother's heart.

"Queen Mother, there is no fierce battle on the front line yet, Su Ruoqi stands still, and so does Su Xuyuan." The messenger ran into the hall and said.

"It's ridiculous, I gave him the army, but he still doesn't move? What is Su Ruoqi thinking!" The queen mother complained, but after thinking about it, Su Ruoqi might have other methods. If Su Ruoqi also betrayed her this time... …

Then let Xu Zheng do it directly.

"Su Ruoqi said that everything will be discussed at night, including attacking the enemy from behind." The messenger said again.

"I want only one victory, and nothing else!" said the queen mother, "you just say so!"

"Yes!" The messenger took the message and left. The queen mother sat on the chair, frowning tightly. As long as Su Xuyuan died... her secret could sleep forever.

If Su Ruoqi died...

No one will ever know this secret.

Yun Xi was also puzzled by the fact that Su Ruoqi stood still. Logically speaking, the fighting should have started by now, but there was no movement outside. She took a sip of tea anxiously, waiting for Su Ruoqi to give him news.

In the end, he only waited until Su Xuyuan came to chat with her.

"You didn't send troops today." Yun Xi didn't pour tea for Su Xuyuan, Su Xuyuan sat down slowly, and then poured tea for himself.

"If Su Ruoqi doesn't send troops, I won't send troops either." Su Xuyuan said, "We all know the details of each other. If we really fight, I'm afraid we will lose both."

"What you said is quite reasonable, but you still don't dare to send troops." Yun Xi deliberately used the aggressive method to see how Su Xuyuan would react.

"You don't have to provoke me." Su Xuyuan said, "If I win, will you marry me?"

Yun Xi smiled, Su Xuyuan was still thinking about marrying her, seeing Yun Xi's smile, Su Xuyuan felt a little displeased, and put the teacup on the table.

"Su Ruoqi is dead, will you marry me?" Su Xuyuan asked again.

"If you win, Su Ruoqi won't die, if you lose, Su Ruoqi won't die either." Yun Xi looked at Su Xuyuan and said seriously.

If Su Xuyuan intends to kill Su Ruoqi, then she will kill Su Xuyuan first and give up this idea.Su Xuyuan looked at Yunxi, then slammed the cup on the ground, then threw all the tea sets on the table on the ground, and squeezed Yunxi's chin hard.

"Don't forget, where are you now, and don't forget who spared your life!" Su Xuyuan's voice was full of anger and disappointment, "I... I'm really not as good as Su Ruoqi?"

Yun Xi looked at Su Xuyuan and didn't reply for a while.

In the end, Su Xuyuan pushed Yun Xi away and left disappointed. Yun Xi looked at Su Xuyuan's back, and then at the broken tea set on the floor.

What made someone who was once so peaceful become so irritable and jealous?

The day passed quickly. In the middle of the night, Xu Zheng went to Su Xuyuan's study again. He must find something.When he came near the study, Xu Zheng found that no one was in the study today. He was overjoyed. After entering the study, he opened the secret passage according to Su Xuyuan's method at that time, and found that it was full of various bamboo slips. Xu Zheng was a little surprised, not knowing where Su Xuyuan came from. So much information.

He flipped through them one by one. This was incredible. He saw a lot of things about the Empress Dowager. Why did only the Empress Dowager stay and even Su Xuyuan's life experience when the murder was silenced? Xu Zheng took a deep breath, Then he hurriedly flipped through the other bamboo slips, wanting to get more news.

Like the cause of his father's death.

Finally found the bamboo slips with the news written on them. Xu Zheng looked around, alert for any noises, and was about to look through them, but when he heard footsteps, Xu Zheng hurriedly put away his things, only to see Su Xuyuan opened the secret passage and walked in, Xu Zheng He found a place to hide, and sneaked out while Su Xuyuan was reading the documents.

Xu Zheng thought about what he had just seen, and finally figured out why the queen mother did this. If Su Xuyuan died, the queen mother's next target might be Su Ruoqi.

You have to get out of here quickly.
