Qian Jue tutted his words and glanced at Prince Duan from the side. "Others who escaped always made a comeback. If you escape again, you probably won't even have enough food to eat."
Hearing Qian Jue's words, Prince Duan glared at him.
"You said Concubine Xian and the others didn't know my identity. It turns out you were lying to me."
He actually believed that this person was telling the truth.
"I didn't lie to you," Qian Jue said innocently, "Luo'er and the others told me your identity."
"You're despicable."
Prince Duan gritted his teeth and cursed, "You said you were out for fun, but you ended up getting rid of Feng Qingqing. You guys are really good at this."
It was not until he was imprisoned and learned from the guards that Feng Qingqing had died that he connected all the things together and figured out the purpose of their visit to Li Country.
The reason why several people did not reveal their identities was that they were worried that their identities would be exposed and known to the Queen, and it would not be easy for them to stay in Li Country for long to get rid of Feng Qingqing.
"Thank you so much," Qian Jue raised his hand and pointed at Yu Yiluo, "Actually, these were all Luo'er's ideas."
These words successfully aroused the anger in Prince Duan. Did Qian Jue say this to mock him for not being able to defeat a child?
"By the way, Tianqi has known about your affairs in Li Country for a long time."
Prince Duan stared at Qian Jue with a fierce look in his eyes and sneered, "Since you know, why don't you send a letter to the Queen asking her to hand me over?"
"How can it be fun to hand you over and think you can make a comeback, only to have it vanish in the blink of an eye?"
Yu Yiluo had a childish voice, and the words she said made Prince Duan want to break her neck.
Indeed, he was determined to make a comeback, and if he was simply killed, he might not be as unwilling as he is now.
He thought he could escape and fight back, but in the end everything was calculated by others.
Still a child, so funny.
He calmed down and asked, "Feng Qingqing is not the Queen's child, right?"
"Yes, in fact, if you progress faster and make Feng Qingqing obsessed with you, you might live longer."
"What a pity, you are too proud and you can't lower yourself to please Feng Qingqing."
Yu Yiluo smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Prince Duan, if a person wants to achieve great things, he must not only be ruthless to himself, but also be able to bend and stretch. Now you don't have a second chance to escape."
"You are a monster," Prince Duan looked at Yu Yiluo, "You are so calculating at such a young age."
"You can't scold the child even if you lose."
Qian Jue glanced at Prince Duan with contempt on his face.
"child?"
Prince Duan sneered, "What kind of child is she? I lost, and I learned my lesson from what the little princess said, but do you really think you have everything under your control?"
Tianqi planned to replace the crown prince of Li State with an obedient one, and the same was true for Qiang State.
After all, the environments of the three countries are different and they are not adjacent to each other, making them difficult to control. Therefore, it is understandable that the emperor would choose this method.
However, the fact that these two countries have settled down does not mean that Tianqi can rest easy.
The prince frowned, feeling that there was a hidden meaning in Prince Duan's words.
"What does Prince Duan mean by this?"
"Didn't you leave out everything?"
Prince Duan smiled and sat back on the ground, feeling quite good, he said, "Guess for yourself, I won't tell you."
Yu Yiluo looked at Prince Duan deeply, feeling a little uneasy.
She has been keeping an eye on Prince Duan, so is there something going on that she doesn't know about?
"Your Highness, if you want him to speak, I have plenty of ways."
Qian Jue saw Yu Yiluo's worry and spoke.
He has developed so many poisons, so it is not difficult to get Prince Duan to speak.
"Mr. Qian really believed it?"
Prince Duan laughed heartily and glanced at the few people. "I just said it casually, why are you so serious?"
The prince did not respond, but turned to instruct the guard beside him.
"Put shackles on them and keep a close eye on them."
Looking at the backs of the people leaving, Prince Duan showed a creepy smile at the corner of his lips.
Yuan Can subconsciously moved away from him.
"Not fighting anymore?"
Prince Duan glanced at Yuan Can, who gave him a flattering smile, "How can I be your opponent, Your Highness? I can only tickle you."
Seeing his cowardly look, Prince Duan withdrew his gaze.
"Your Highness," Yuan Can glanced at him and asked cautiously, "Do you know any secrets?"
Prince Duan didn't look at him and lay on the ground with his hands on his head.
"have no idea."
Yuan Can was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Actually, if you knew, Your Majesty, you could tell them in exchange for your life."
"In exchange for survival?" Prince Duan looked at the skylight as if he had heard a joke. "Yuan Can, you are so naive. If you tell them, there will be no way to survive."
…
The few people who came out of the prison looked a little unhappy when they returned to the yard.
Qian Jue questioned the Crown Prince in confusion, "Your Highness, why don't you let me use drugs to force Prince Duan to tell you what he knows?"
The prince poured him a cup of tea and signaled him to calm down.
"Prince Duan is determined not to tell anyone. So what if you used drugs? If you torture him enough, he'll give you a false secret, which will only mislead the investigation."
"What the Crown Prince said is correct. Prince Duan is now completely barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. If he can't bear it anymore, he can commit suicide. He won't say it at all. Otherwise, he wouldn't deliberately be ambiguous to make us unhappy."
Yu Yiluo supported her chin.
What did Prince Duan know?
"Then we should take advantage of the few days here to investigate Prince Duan's movements and see who he has contact with."
Yu Yiluo said, "Don't worry about it. Prince Duan probably found out something accidentally, but this matter has nothing to do with him."
If that matter had something to do with him, he wouldn't have that expression.
The look of someone who has reached a desperate situation but still places their hopes on others.
at the same time.
The queen returned to the palace with the prime minister.
Entering the imperial study, the prime minister wondered why the empress had called her here.
"Prime Minister, please sit down," the Queen raised her hand to signal the Prime Minister to sit down and asked Ling Le to serve tea.
The Prime Minister, who already had a shadow over tea, stood up quickly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. No thanks, I'm not thirsty."
She doesn't want to be tricked again.
The Queen saw her concerns and said with a smile, "Prime Minister, are you afraid that I will plot against you?"
The Prime Minister denied it, "I am indeed not thirsty."
"Never mind," the Queen sighed, "I'm sorry for you."
The Prime Minister pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't say anything, and she felt resentful.
"I understand that you are angry. As long as you don't mention resigning, I promise to give you some compensation."
"Your Majesty," the Prime Minister looked up at the Empress, his face expressionless, "I do not want any compensation. Your scheme against me has truly chilled me."
She paused for a moment, "I just want to ask you a question."
"You ask."
"If the little princess hadn't replaced the medicine, and I had really become a puppet who only knew how to obey orders, would Your Majesty regret it?"
The Queen was silent for a moment, staring at the Prime Minister.
"When I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw your submissive appearance, I actually regretted it."
So when she knew Luo'er had changed the medicine, she was not angry, but happy instead.
