Chapter 31: Li Dai Tao Jiang

"How did you find out?" Lu Dongfeng struggled to grab the dagger on the ground.

But Qiu Xuan pressed down on her shoulders, forcing her hands to remain in a very uncomfortable position.

Lu Dongfeng tried several times but failed and became discouraged.

"Surrender, I surrender. How did you find out?"

"Ji Zhuang told me." Qiu Xuan lied without changing his expression.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Lu Dongfeng subconsciously looked up at Qiu Xuan, who took the opportunity to put the dagger against her throat.

Qiu Xuan smiled and said, "What's impossible? It's been a long time since you last saw him."

At least two days.

Lu Dongfeng pressed his fingers firmly on the ground: "Sure enough...Sure enough, the elder is right, these two people are wild at heart...No, no, why would Ji Zhuang tell you?"

Were the two sorcerers really sent to the emperor on purpose?

Qiu Xuan held down the struggling Lu Dongfeng and asked, "You're going to kill me, why should I tell you?"

"You made your own choice," Lu Dongfeng panted. "You may not be physically strong, but you're quite strong. If you hadn't come to me today, someone else would have died."

As for the others, Qiu Xuan’s mind quickly turned to the people in the Marquis’ Mansion who deserved to die.

The answer is obvious.

"Fei Fei is not an outsider."

Lu Dongfeng was stunned for a moment: "You know so much!"

"Don't worry about it. It's your bad luck if you choose me."

Lu Dongfeng sneered: "Humph, the princess is really taking care of you secretly. She originally wanted to kill the princess and put the blame on you. I think even if I succeed, the princess will find an excuse to let you go."

"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you think the princess can't find out anything?"

Qiuxuan is trying to raise the flag by taking advantage of the situation.

"She's pretty good," Lu Dongfeng began to struggle again, "but don't think she can still overturn Empress Lu's verdict!"

It’s Queen Lu’s business again.

"Did the old lady help to clean up the mess that happened to Empress Lu back then?"

"Finishing?" Lu Dongfeng laughed. "You look down on her. From planning to implementation, it was all done by your mother-in-law."

No wonder the witch prayed for her husband and children.

"Do you think Nangong Shao took you in out of kindness?" Lu Dongfeng said sarcastically.

Qiu Xuan's hand relaxed for a moment. This was exactly the moment she wanted.

Lu Dongfeng rushed forward to pick up the dagger.

But Qiu Xuan was prepared and kicked the basin over. Lu Dongfeng's chin hit the basin and he cried in pain.

"You cheated!" Lu Dongfeng covered his chin and rolled on the ground.

Qiu Xuan pulled out the rope prepared at the side and tied Lu Dongfeng up.

"You planned it a long time ago. Nangong Shao told you!" Lu Dongfeng gritted his teeth in hatred.

"While you're out boiling water, it's enough time for me to go around the pharmacy."

"You! Do you think that if you tie me up, Nangong Shao will let you go?" Lu Dongfeng struggled left and right, but found that he could only show off his power with his mouth.

"You've already fallen into the tiger's mouth. The entire Marquis' Mansion is ours."

"The old lady and you are not of the same mind."

If the old lady had not had other plans, Lu Dongfeng would definitely not have entered the mansion.

Qiu Xuan didn't waste any more words with Lu Dongfeng. This was all she could find out for now.

She had to go find Feifei quickly to discuss a solution.

In the entire marquis's mansion, the only people she could join forces with were the eldest princess's people.

"Where are you going? Come back." Seeing Qiuxuan was about to leave, Lu Dongfeng hurriedly spoke out to stop her.

"They all say someone died in this hospital. Don't leave me here alone!"

"I'll pack some stuff and come back to deal with you."

As Qiu Xuan spoke, he pushed open the door and a shadow fell, completely covering Qiu Xuan.

"Deal with whom?" Jing Beian asked with a smile.

Why is he in the Marquis' Mansion today?

Qiu Xuan took a few steps back, picked up Lu Dongfeng from the ground, and put the dagger to her throat.

"Get out." Qiu Xuan threatened.

Jing Beian smiled softly and rushed over. In a flash, before Qiu Xuan could react, the dagger in his hand was already in Jing Beian's hand.

"If you want to threaten someone, don't use the back of the knife to hold them back." The dagger turned beautifully in Jing Beian's hand.

"Also, it's best not to talk and just take action."

Qiu Xuan looked at Jing Beian's half-wet clothes. He came back in the rain.

What happened that made him so nervous?

Did Lu Dongfeng inform him?

That's not right either.

Qiu Xuan quickly calculated that the time she had to hold Lu Dongfeng captive would definitely only be enough for him to rush to the capital.

"Untie me quickly!" Lu Dongfeng broke free from Qiu Xuan's grip and ran to Jing Beian.

Jing Beian ignored her and asked Qiu Xuan, "You don't seem surprised that she knows me."

"She's also from Liangzhou. It would be strange if you didn't recognize her."

Qiu Xuan took small steps forward, but was forced back to his original position by Jing Beian with a dagger.

"Today we're not playing house," Jing Beian said with a smile, "You know a lot."

"Don't waste your time talking to her." Lu Dongfeng began to try to untie the knot with the edge of the table. "Tie her up and leave her on the farm. Don't delay us from doing our business."

"There's nothing important to do." Jing Beian's face became gloomy again, just like the sky outside the door.

"Zhuang is dead."

"What?" Lu Dongfeng forgot to struggle. "Dead?"

"The fat man who is blind in one eye." Jing Beian added.

Lu Dongfeng's eyes scanned the ground nervously.

Jing Beian looked at Qiu Xuan: "Did you do this?"

Lu Dongfeng suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open: "She did it?"

"How is that possible? I don't have that ability." Qiu Xuan said.

This is true, it was definitely not her who did it.

If all else fails, just throw Jiang Jinhan out. This thought flashed through Qiu Xuan's mind.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Qiu Xuan asked.

Lu Dongfeng moved over and bumped into Qiu Xuan as if to vent his anger: "You're almost dead now, and you still want to know more. Are you afraid that you won't die quickly enough?"

"You have connections with Wu Zhuang, so your purpose is naturally the same as hers."

Wu Zhuang stayed in the palace for more than ten years, and it was obvious what her purpose was.

If you want long-lasting wealth and glory, the only way is to hold the emperor in your hands.

Jing Beian and Lu Dongfeng looked at each other, and Jing Beian whispered, "Look, what did I say? It's better to count her in."

"You're crazy." Lu Dongfeng kicked Jing Beian in anger. "You can't even trust your own people, and you still trust an outsider?"

"Are you still hiding this from Feifei?" Qiu Xuan asked calmly.

"Fei Fei doesn't know I exist." Lu Dongfeng said immediately, "If you don't tell me, I won't remember it. I have to silence her and can't let her tell Fei Fei."

Qiu Xuan's heart sank, but Jing Beian did not respond to Lu Dongfeng's proposal immediately.

"Someone's coming."

Jing Beian pushed Lu Dongfeng under the table.

"Don't let anyone see you first."

"This is outrageous! Why is this courtyard so lively today?"
