Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Although Su Wanwan couldn't speak, she responded with her eyes.

Li Yunsheng had no time to watch the two of them exchanging glances.

"Mr. Thirteen, will you speak for yourself, or should I have this person beside me do it?"

"Humph!"

Mr. Thirteen snorted coldly.

Even if you kill me, I won't say a word.

No need to waste your time; my spies are spread throughout the capital.

Even Su Wanwan only knew part of the story.

Li Yunsheng nodded. He had expected this outcome, but fortunately, he wasn't unprepared.

"It's up to you now."

Wei Xiang drew his short knife and cut off a large piece of tablecloth with one stroke.

"Open your mouth."

"Humph--"

Mr. Thirteen turned his head away, not even glancing at Wei Xiang.

boom!

The scabbard of the short sword struck his abdomen, and a sharp pain churned his intestines, causing them to twist together.

"Oh!"

Mr. Thirteen's body reflexively bent into a shrimp-like shape.

Wei Xiang shoved the tablecloth into his mouth as a reminder.

"It will hurt a little, just bear with it."

"Well……"

Mr. Thirteen's voice suddenly rose, and fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

"Well--!"

His body suddenly stiffened, but he couldn't muster any strength in his hands and feet.

Su Wanwan turned pale with fright, wanting to scream but unable to.

She backed away step by step, looking at Wei Xiang as if she were a devil.

thump.

She retreated to the soft couch and suddenly fell onto it.

Li Yunsheng's throat bobbed, and he also felt a churning in his stomach.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a bloody scene.

Although at the hunting grounds, they also saw the Imperial Guards being smashed beyond recognition by assassins with spiked clubs.

That was still some distance away, but this is right in front of us.

Only Ling Zuo remained expressionless, after all, he was used to seeing these things.

In just a short while, only bone remained below Mr. Thirteen's left knee.

Beside it, scattered pieces of flesh and blood stained the lotus flower carved from warm jade red.

Dislocating muscles and bones only restricts mobility and does not reduce pain.

At this moment, Mr. Thirteen had already fainted from the pain.

Wei Xiang wiped the dagger against his chest, then stood aside.

Ling Zuo picked up a basin of water and splashed it directly onto Mr. Thirteen's face.

The cold water jolted him awake instantly.

Li Yunsheng stepped forward and kicked the tablecloth out of Mr. Thirteen's mouth.

"how?"

Pooh!

Li Yunsheng reacted quickly and stepped on his mouth.

"It seems you truly would rather die than submit."

He crushed the hypnosis card in his palm and stared into Mr. Thirteen's eyes.

However, with a single thought, Mr. Thirteen's eyes immediately changed from hatred to a somewhat empty look.

"Untie his hands and feet."

Wei Xiang had naturally noticed the changes in Mr. Thirteen.

She glanced at Li Yunsheng out of the corner of her eye, but asked nothing, and quickly freed Mr. Thirteen.

But Mr. Thirteen lay motionless on the ground.

"Liu Quan, pen and ink."

"Yes."

There are writing brushes and ink in this room. Liu Quan has come here many times before and is very familiar with this place.

While Liu Quan was getting up to get the pen and ink, Li Yunsheng leaned down and asked.

"Who in Wei State is in charge of you spies?"

Mr. Thirteen said in a calm tone.

"Grand Historian, Wenren Xu."

Wenren Xu!

Upon hearing this name, Li Yunsheng immediately showed a look of reminiscence.

He had indeed seen this name in the records of the officials of Wei.

However, the Grand Astrologer was merely someone who observed celestial phenomena and had no real power.

So when he saw the name, he didn't pay any attention to it.

Unexpectedly, this person was quite well hidden.

"He was in charge of all the spies in Wei Kingdom?"

"Yes."

At this moment, Liu Quan brought over a low table, on which were placed writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.

"Prime Minister, it's ready."

Li Yunsheng nodded and gave the order.

"Write down everything you know about the intelligence from all the spies in Weiguo."

"Yes."

Mr. Thirteen got up from the ground expressionlessly, seemingly feeling no pain at all.

His kneeling posture beside the low table was particularly eerie, with his left kneecap slamming into the ground, sending chills down one's spine.

Mr. Thirteen picked up a pen as if no one else was around and began writing down the list of Wei Guo's spies.

Everyone in the room, except for Mr. Thirteen, was staring at Li Yunsheng.

However, their expressions were all different.

Su Wanwan was terrified to the extreme, and even felt the urge to urinate.

In her view, the sorcery that can control other people's minds is more terrifying than shaving someone's bones with a knife.

Chapter 44 Double Agent

Wei Xiang approached with a look of surprise, glancing at Li Yunsheng's face from left to right.

Then he turned his head and looked at Mr. Thirteen.

Seeing that he was unmoved, she then kicked the leg that was just bone.

However, Mr. Thirteen seemed to be completely detached from the pain, and his writing flowed effortlessly without any impact.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the complete list of all the personnel Wei Guo had placed in Great Chu was compiled.

At this moment, there was a large patch of blood where Mr. Thirteen was kneeling.

His face was as pale as paper; he was already at his last gasp.

pat.

The calligraphy brush in his hand fell onto the low table, and he barely managed to stay upright by bracing himself against the table with both hands.

Li Yunsheng took the list and glanced at it briefly.

Hey!

The spies of the State of Wei were indeed ubiquitous, even having people in the imperial court.

Although he did not hold an important position, he still received a salary from the imperial court.

Li Yunsheng picked up his pen and added one name to the list—Su Wanwan.

After a moment's thought, he crossed out the official's name.

Then, he handed the list to Ling Zuo.

"The rest is up to you. Arrest everyone on the list."

Ling Zuo took the list, glanced at it, and immediately saw Su Wanwan's name.

"Prime Minister Li, she—"
