Chapter 90: Why not go with the flow? Zi Yi, who gave up on herself
Fengluan Palace.
At this time, Empress Dowager Xiao had already put on a cloak and walked to the front of the hall.
behind him.
A man covered in a black robe.
The voice was hoarse: "Queen Mother, do you want to kill the people from the Qingyuan Sword Sect?"
"killed?"
Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xiao turned around and glanced at him.
He frowned and said unhappily, "Can you use your brain for everything? You just kill people every day. Tell me, what good is there in killing her?"
"But."
The black-robed man said, "If Zi Yi reveals the eldest prince's affairs, will it affect our actions? After all, the Qingyuan Sword Sect and the Empress are now tied together."
Empress Dowager Xiao raised her eyes slightly.
Looking towards Tianluan Palace from afar, he said, "Do you really think that the Empress doesn't know anything?"
"During this period of time, not only has the Empress been monitoring me, but many Jinyiwei have also appeared on the side of the eldest prince. Even on the Black Ice Platform, Jinyiwei Commander Shangguan Yun has personally gone to monitor." Empress Dowager Xiao said this, her eyes slightly condensed: "Yu Xi is far from being as simple as she looks on the surface. If you underestimate her, you will suffer a great loss."
"Then are we just going to leave it like this?" The man in black robe didn't quite understand what Empress Dowager Xiao was worried about.
Empress Dowager Xiao retracted her gaze and said calmly, "I will take care of these matters. Just do your own thing. I will let you kill those who should be killed, and you cannot touch even a hair of those who should not be killed. Do you understand?"
"My subordinates know."
The man in black robe responded respectfully.
Then he asked, "As for the eldest prince, do you still want Zi Yi to continue to contact him?"
Empress Dowager Xiao said slowly: "Since Zi Yi has accidentally come into contact with both the King of Zhenbei and the Empress, why don't we go with the flow and continue the show."

Outside the palace.
Zi Yi glared at Zhao Qiuyu, who once again put the sword on his neck, and said coldly: "What I said is true. If you don't believe it, there is nothing I can do."
She really had no idea what Empress Dowager Xiao was planning.
As she said, she was only responsible for communicating some less important intelligence.
For example, the eldest prince.
As well as intelligence acquisition and communication in various prefectures and fiefdoms of vassal kings in the Dawu Dynasty.
"You know what the consequences of lying to me are." Seeing Zi Yi's appearance, Zhao Qiuyu believed it a little bit and put away the long sword as thin as a cicada's wing again.
He said slowly, "Now, tell me what you know."
Zi Yi curled her lips upon hearing this and said reluctantly, "I don't know much. Most of the time, I am responsible for contacting the eldest prince, providing him with some information and manpower, and then secretly encouraging him to wait for the right time to rebel."
"Be specific."
Hearing the word "rebellion", Zhao Qiuyu's eyes turned cold.
She certainly knew some of the eldest prince's movements, but when this news really came out of Zi Yi's mouth, she still couldn't stop the anger in her heart.
Feeling the coldness in Zhao Qiuyu's eyes.
Zi Yi's pretty face changed, fearing that this crazy woman would draw her sword and chop her in the next second, so she confessed everything she knew: "The eldest prince is not the offspring of Empress Dowager Xiao, but the son of the late emperor and a palace maid, and was later adopted by Empress Dowager Xiao. Only the late emperor and Empress Dowager Xiao knew about this.
In addition, officials who secretly served the eldest prince included Huang Yan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Shang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Pei Kan, the junior minister of the Dali Temple, Li Xiang, the censor, and Ling Tong, the deputy commander of the imperial guards.
The eldest prince also has three hundred armored warriors, each of whom is a fifth-grade warrior, wearing heavy armor and practicing a set of military formation and combined attack techniques, which can hold off two thousand ordinary armored warriors."
As Zhao Qiuyu's eyes became increasingly cold.
Zi Yi swallowed his saliva and continued, "There are many warriors with high cultivation under the command of the Queen Mother. As far as I know, there are no less than twenty warriors in the Vajra Realm alone, no less than ten in the Zhixuan Realm, and I have also met two or three warriors in the Celestial Realm."
"so much?"
When Zhao Qiuyu heard this, her pretty face changed slightly.
This kind of strength is almost on par with the Qingyuan Sword Sect, not to mention the three hundred heavy armors.
Such amazing power. Once it erupts in the palace, who can stop it?
"Damn it."
The more Zhao Qiuyu thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Now she understood why the senior sister was so wary of Empress Dowager Xiao.
and this.
This is just the part that Zi Yi knows. No one knows whether there are any hidden tricks in the dark.
Zhao Qiuyu thought about it and took a deep breath.
He looked at Zi Yi again and said, "I heard that you went to the Northern Territory some time ago?"
Zi Yi's eyes flickered slightly when he heard that.
He nodded and said, "I did go there, but I was ordered by the Queen Mother to test that person's attitude. It's not a secret."
"How is the result?"
"That person asked me to tell the Queen Mother that there are some things he is unwilling to get involved in, and does not want to get involved, but there are some things that the Queen Mother cannot do. That's all I have to say." Zi Yi has now given up on himself, and he answers whatever Zhao Qiuyu asks.
People have to bow their heads under the roof.
What can I do if I can’t win?
The most infuriating thing is that the Poison King Valley is no match for the Qingyuan Sword Sect, and I am threatened by it. There is nothing I can do about it.
"Who saved you that night?"
"The Junior Official of the Dali Temple, Pei Kan."
After hearing that the person who saved Zi Yi that night was indeed Dali Temple Shaoqing Pei Kan, Zhao Qiuyu's eyes narrowed and continued to ask: "If it was really him, why did he save you, and what is his identity?"
Zi Yi fell silent after hearing this.
After Zhao Qiuyu got a little impatient waiting, he had no intention of speaking.
Betraying Empress Dowager Xiao was no big deal.
Even if the Queen Mother knew about it, Zi Yi dared to say that she would not kill him to silence him.
After all, the Poison King Valley still has some face.
But if the one in the North was sold.
The Poison King Valley cannot protect her, and besides, her life is in that person's hands.
"I can't tell you his identity yet." Under Zhao Qiuyu's cold gaze, Zi Yi said calmly, "If you tell me, I will die."
"But I can tell you one other thing."
Zi Yi continued, "The Queen Mother wants me to go to Chongli Mansion today and kill Ning He."
"what?"
When Zhao Qiuyu heard this, he completely lost his composure.
She still knew how important Ning He was. Once Ning He died in Chongli Mansion.
Not only King Jin no longer had any obstacles.
Within a month, we will be able to reach Chang'an.
The one in the North will also be furious, and then no one will be able to escape, even the eldest sister will be implicated.
Zhao Qiuyu asked anxiously, "Is this true?"
"I don't know whether the Queen Mother really wants to kill Ning He, but since she has mentioned it, she must have this plan in her mind." Zi Yi did not lie but told the truth.
'Shuh! '
Zhao Qiuyu heard this but had no time to ask what Pei Kan's identity was.
His figure flashed and then disappeared from the spot.
Go to Tianluan Palace to report the matter to the empress.
