Chapter 211 After all, everyone in the capital now knows the name of the goddess
He replied with a trembling voice: "My name is Wang Sheng, and I have been working in the Guanque Tower for ten years."
Seeing this, Shangguan Sui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Her eyes fell on his trembling fingers.
[Why is he so nervous? I just asked a question casually? ]
[Am I that scary...?]
A sense of doubt arose in Shangguan Sui's mind.
But she did not show it in public. Instead, she waved to Wang Sheng and chuckled, "Don't be nervous. Get up quickly."
Having said that, he turned around and continued to go upstairs.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Shangguan Sui and Lou Changqing leaving.
Phew, luckily the fifth princess was not very smart and she managed to hide it.
Shangguan Sui walked to the top floor, bowed respectfully in front of the statue of Emperor Gaozu, and lit a stick of incense.
At the moment when he was about to step out of the door of Guanque Tower, Shangguan Sui's steps suddenly paused.
I couldn't help but think of Wang Sheng's strange behavior just now again.
[We have been increasing the number of guards to prevent Shen Qingpei's men from sneaking into the Guanque Tower.]
[But what if the person who did the bad thing was someone inside the Guanque Tower? ! ]
Thinking of this, Shangguan Sui felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
She couldn't help but shudder all over.
[This way, we can do it without anyone noticing, and it will also render our guards completely ineffective...]
[This is very much like Shen Qingpei's style of doing things. Not only is it vicious, but it also hits the nail on the head.]
[For example, the janitor who was sweeping the floor just now… ordinary people would never think of him.]
After hearing this, Lou Changqing's face also became gloomy.
Shangguan Sui turned his head and looked up at Lou Changqing with a very serious expression.
"Uncle, I need you to do me a favor and help me check someone."
Lou Changqing nodded and blurted out, "Is it the Wang Sheng just now?"
Shangguan Sui's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Uncle, you also suspect him! Uncle is really smart!"
Lou Changqing shook his head somewhat embarrassedly.
I only knew this after listening to Suisui's inner voice.
He was actually not good at these things. If it weren't for Sui Sui, he would not be able to understand all these twists and turns.
Shangguan Sui found some breakthroughs and felt much better.
He turned around and went back to the palace.
Suburbs of Beijing.
Qi Huan looked at the somewhat dilapidated courtyard in front of him and couldn't help but curl his lips.
This place is too simple, not even half the size of the previous courtyard.
Qi Huan's heart couldn't help but start beating fast. She looked up at Shen Qingpei who was drinking tea quietly beside her.
The Jinlou has now been raided, Shen Qingpei's power has been greatly weakened, and the courtyard has been replaced with such a small one.
Should we continue with the following matters?
Shen Qingpei glanced at Qi Huan and saw the hesitation in her eyes.
Directly said: "You don't have to worry about other things. As long as you continue to work for me, I will ensure that you will be rich and prosperous for the rest of your life."
Qi Huan nodded without saying anything.
But deep down I no longer believed it.
Originally Shen Qingpei owned many shops and a workshop for making counterfeit money.
Now that the workshop is gone, even he himself is wanted by the government.
He can't even protect himself now, how can he give her glory and wealth?
Shen Qingpei turned the cup in his hand and continued, "I have already bribed the servant of Guanque Tower. These days, when he was cleaning the top floor every day, he would secretly add some kerosene in it."
"Wait until the full moon night in five days, just a small spark will set the top floor of the Guanque Tower on fire immediately."
"All you need to do is stand on the tower opposite the Stork Tower and let the people see you. When they see that the prophecy has come true, they will immediately worship you as a god."
Qi Huan nodded and said in a nonchalant and gentle voice: "I understand."
Shen Qingpei glanced at her.
"Well, then go down and get ready."
Qi Huan nodded, turned around and left the room without hesitation.
Looking at Qi Huan's back, Shen Qingpei's originally warm face suddenly turned cold.
The attendant who had been standing by and had not spoken came forward at this time.
The voice was low and said: "Your Highness, Qi Huan seems to have second thoughts..."
Shen Qingpei sneered, "Of course I saw that too."
He turned around and ordered, "Go keep an eye on Qi Huan and see what she has been doing recently."
She chose Qi Huan at first because she was young and an orphan, so she was easy to control.
But if this puppet doesn't work well, he will change it.
Anyway, Qi Huan always wears a veil when she goes out, so people have no idea what she looks like...
Shen Qingpei's eyes were cold.
If Qi Huan dared to betray him, she would have to die.
The next day, Qi Huan brought the copied Buddhist scriptures into the palace.
She wanted to please the Queen Mother again, but unexpectedly, the Queen Mother refused to see her at all.
After taking the Buddhist scriptures, Aunt Sun immediately drove her away.
Qi Huan was so angry that his face instantly turned red.
But she couldn't say anything and could only swallow her anger.
On the way out of the palace, she kept her right fist clenched.
Her fingertips dug deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
When passing by Yu Garden, she suddenly heard a familiar and pleasant voice coming from not far away.
"I understand. I'll tell mother when I get home."
Qi Huan's eyes lit up instantly and his ears couldn't help but turn red.
This, this is Xiao Ziyuan's voice!
Whatever she wished for came true. Even God was helping her!
Qi Huan wanted to go talk to Xiao Ziyuan, but suddenly saw the young eunuch standing beside him.
He rolled his eyes and immediately ordered in a cold voice: "My hairpin seems to have fallen on the road. Go and find it for me. I'll wait for you here."
Although the young eunuch felt strange, he didn't know what to say.
After all, everyone in the capital now knows the name of the goddess.
I could only obey the order and turn around to look for the pearl hairpin.
When Qi Huan saw the young eunuch leave, he immediately took two steps at a time and trotted forward.
Sure enough, I saw Xiao Ziyuan standing under the peach tree.
He was wearing a moon-white brocade robe today, which made him look even more handsome.
Xiao Ziyuan turned around and talked to the servant beside him.
The sunlight passed through the treetops and fell on his straight nose.
Qi Huan's heart couldn't help but beat wildly.
She pursed her lips, walked slowly towards him, and made eye contact with Xiao Ziyuan.
Immediately, he pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to be here too."
Xiao Ziyuan pursed his thin lips into a line and nodded slightly as a response.
He never likes people who are deceitful.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qi Huan's face couldn't help but look a little ugly.
She is a goddess! A goddess admired and respected by everyone!
Xiao Ziyuan actually dared to treat her like this!
But thinking of his current situation, Qi Huan could only suppress his dissatisfaction.
Shen Qingpei is unreliable now, so she can only find another backer as soon as possible.
Qi Huan pursed his lips and said, "I have something to say to Master Xiao. Can you please dismiss the people around you?"
There was a hint of impatience on Xiao Ziyuan's face.
"Goddess Qi Huan and I have never met before, so I guess there is nothing much to say."
After saying this, Xiao Ziyuan was ready to turn around and leave.
Qi Huan immediately said, "Even if it's something related to Guanque Tower, don't you want to listen?"
