Remnant King's Concubine

Chapter 62

Ji Liangruo gasped and looked at Qin Yunyao.

Qin Yunyao also looked at her, and after being silent for a while, asked Ruixue: "You seem to know a lot..." Even if she saw Mo Yan carrying Dongyue to the dungeon, but the owl was caught in the middle of the night, how would she know?

"Of course!" Ruixue's eyes were bright, "When the late emperor was alive, the queen mother and the emperor were worried that the late emperor would pass the throne to the second prince, so they began to deploy everything, including training spies! I am the most powerful one! It's not because of them It’s because I was originally a spy sent to them by others, but I was accidentally selected for training—”

Qin Yunyao felt a chill on his back: "Who? Who sent you to them?"

"That's not important," she said, "at least not to you. Now there are two points. First, where is the owl delivering the letter? Second, what happened to Dongyue?"

"How do you know about them?" Qin Yunyao asked.

Ruixue was silent for a while, and said: "I have eaten a kind of Gu. After training, I can talk to almost all animals. Therefore, the animals regard me as the same kind and are very close to me. The owl that delivers the letter is not trained by me, but it listens to me the most. Every day when it flies out of the palace, it always arrives at my place first. I have read the letter sent by the queen mother, and then it flies to Dongyue; It just returned to the palace after replying to the letter. Last night, it only came and did not return, so I knew something was wrong."

She smiled and laughed at herself: "The princess and the queen mother must have never thought that there is an inconspicuous person who knows everything between you!" She looked at Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo, "So, I even know What happened on your wedding night?"

Ji Liangruo's face turned pale, and Qin Yunyao's face turned dark.

Mo Yan and Qin Yunwei looked at them curiously, and Qin Yunwei asked boldly, "What happened?"

Qin Yunyao took a deep breath and stared at Ji Liangruo: "You also report this kind of thing?"

"Yes, it's Dongyue..." Ji Liangruo stammered, "Besides, at that time... I, I was a spy, can you not say it?"

Qin Yunyao didn't speak, and after being bored for a long time, he said, "Go to the dungeon! Dongyue and Ying are both there!"

Ruixue followed them and said, "They can't be locked there. A trained spy can still spread the news in a dark place. Needless to say, the bird, it keeps barking, and will soon call The same kind, tell everything."

"Then what should we do?" Ji Liangruo asked.

"Can Dongyue buy it? If you can't buy it, you can only get rid of it!"

"It sounds like you are quite capable, so is there a way for you to hide this from the Queen Mother?" Qin Yunwei looked at her.

She thought about it for a while, then said awkwardly: "It's not impossible, it's just a little troublesome..."

Ji Liangruo's eyes lit up: "You should talk about it."

Ruixue looked at Qin Yunyao: "I know the Thousand Faces Disguise Technique, and I can change her appearance to replace her—"

After entering the dungeon, Rui Xue went to see the owl first, and the owl flew over as soon as it saw her.She asked Qin Yunyao to open the cage, and then calmed down the barking eagle.

Qin Yunyao believed her previous words, and said: "Yunwei, Mo Yan, you accompany her to find Dongyue, and I will accompany Wangfei to meet the assassin!"

After Ji Liangruo and Qin Yunyao left, Ruixue asked Qin Yunwei: "What assassin?"

"I don't know too well." Qin Yunwei said.

Ruixue didn't look like she was shirking, she looked at Mo Yan, Mo Yan turned his head and walked forward blankly, clearly not wanting to say more.

She hooked her lips, stroked the owl standing on her shoulder, and asked as she walked, "Your name is Mo Yan, right?"

"I've only met you a few times, but I have a deep impression—you never like to talk..."

"Never have any expression." She sighed, talking to herself was boring, so she stopped talking.

Walking to Dongyue's cell, Dongyue was leaning against the wall in a daze. Seeing them appear, she was a little puzzled.Seeing Ruixue among them and the owl on Ruixue's shoulder, she got up in shock.

"This is?" She rushed over to catch the eagle.

Ruixue took a step back, letting her hand stretch out in mid-air, unable to touch her.

"This is to deliver a letter for you and the Queen Mother." Ruixue stretched out her hand to tease the owl, and looked at her nonchalantly.

Dongyue's face was shocked: "How do you know?"

"Don't forget that I was also sent by the Queen Mother."

"You..." Dongyue looked at Qin Yunwei and Mo Yan beside her, "You also betrayed the Queen Mother?"

Ruixue's thick eyelashes fluttered: "I have never been loyal to her, how could I betray her?"

She and Dongyue left after a few words of quarreling. When they reached the stairs, she looked at the other side of the dungeon: "Is the assassin locked up there? Can you go and have a look?"

"Let's go out and wait," Mo Yan said.

"Then it's better to wait here! If people see you when you go out, what should you do?" Ruixue opened her mouth to the owl, moved her tongue against the roof of the owl a few times, and made a clucking sound.The owl answered her a few times, and then spread its wings and flew out of the dungeon.

"Where did it go?" Mo Yan asked anxiously.

"Go back to the Empress Dowager, I should be back at night." She smiled, and then looked at him, "I wonder if the assassin was sent by the palace! If so, maybe I will know him."

Mo Yan frowned upon hearing this: "The Queen Mother still trains killers?"

"Otherwise?" she asked back.

Qin Yunwei's face turned pale: "We are all a family, why would she do this?"

"Because there can only be one person in charge of the country."

Mo Yan thought for a while and said, "Follow me!" Then he took her to find Qin Yunyao.

There was no one in Guan Assassin's cell, and the guards said they were taken to the torture room for interrogation, and the three of them continued to walk down, and saw Qin Yunyao and Ji Liangruo in the deepest torture room.

The assassin was chained to the stake, and his body was covered with scars from the whipping. His head was drooping to his chest, and half of his body was dripping with water. It was obvious that he had been splashed with water after being unconscious.

But it seemed that the splashing of water did not wake him up.

Qin Yunyao saw them coming and asked, "Why are you here? Where's the owl?"

"Let it go back to the queen mother." Ruixue glanced at the assassin and asked naively, "Are you trying to extract a confession?"

"He didn't want to tell, so he had to force a confession." Qin Yunyao said flatly.In fact, when he and Liang Ruo arrived at the cell, the assassin had already been pushed here.When he rushed over, the assassin had just been knocked out, and he probably would have to wait a while before waking up.

He didn't expect this group of guards to be so ruthless in interrogating people, and he didn't know whether to praise or scold.Seeing that the assassin hadn't moved, he asked the guard who took the lead in torture: "Did he explain anything?"

"I didn't say anything." This was the second time he asked this question, and the guard was a little scared.

"Pour some more water," he said.

The guard immediately picked up a bucket of water and poured it over, and the water splashed on the man with a bang, splashing everywhere.

Qin Yunyao raised his hand in front of Ji Liangruo at that moment, and only put it down after the mist dispersed.

The water trickled down the assassin's body to the ground, Qin Yunyao grabbed Ji Liangruo's hand, and slowly wiped off the splashed drops of water on her fingers.

The assassin moved, and slowly raised his head to see the person in front of him clearly. His hands moved excitedly, making the chain rattle and bleeding from his already broken wrist.

Ruixue's lips trembled, her eyes showed anxiety, and then she slowly covered it up.Mo Yan looked at her, doubts and precautions flashed in his eyes.

Qin Yunyao asked the assassin: "Tell me, what's your name?"

The assassin looked at his handshake with Ji Liangruo, slowly moved his eyes to his face, and said word by word: "Li, Qing, Quan!"

plum……

Ji Liangruo's hands trembled, Qin Yunyao held her tightly, and said with a smile, "I never thought it would be Li Qingquan, who was so famous all over the world!"

"Don't dare to be..." Li Qingquan said, his whole body was covered with wounds, but he was still full of anger, "Mrs. Zun looks like an old friend of Li... I don't know what to call Mrs. Zun?"

Qin Yunyao looked up at Ji Liangruo, squeezed her hand, and let her make her own decision.She looked at Li Qingquan, hesitated for a while before saying: "My concubine's boudoir name is Ji Liangruo."
