Chapter 529: Has My Ability Disappeared?
Soon, Zuo Jiali met Shangguan Jinglan.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Dongchu on your behalf!" He knelt on the ground respectfully and spoke sincerely.
"You?" Shangguan Jinglan sneered, "Why do you think I trust you?"
"Your Majesty, I have an irreconcilable hatred with the Bai family. Please give me a chance to avenge my father and brother!"
Zuo Jiali said with gritted teeth.
Shangguan Jinglan didn't say anything. She was naturally very satisfied with Zuo Jiali's attitude. Although Zuo Jiali's ability might not be very good, he was always a very useful chess piece.
She was considering whether to activate this chess piece again.
"Empress, as long as I can get revenge, I will go through fire and water and even die for you." Zuo Jiali continued to express his loyalty.
He knew that the last incident with the jade pendant had caused Shangguan Jinglan to doubt his ability to do things, but he had no way to prove anything for himself in a short period of time.
Therefore, he could only repeatedly emphasize his hatred for the Bai family, so that Shangguan Jinglan would trust him more and more, and then he would have another chance.
"Okay, I'll help you one more time." Shangguan Jinglan finally made a decision. She had been worrying about who to put in charge of Dongchu's operations these days, and now it was just the right time to let Zuo Jiali go.
However, she did not intend to let Zuo Jiali be responsible for the assassination of Yuan Xiaonian.
"During this trip to Dongchu, I want you to find out the relationship between the Bai family and the Dongchu royal family." She ordered in a low voice.
"I understand!" Zuo Jiali was very happy.
"When the time comes, I will give you some manpower, and you will set off with them in secret. If there are other tasks along the way, I will have someone contact you."
Shangguan Jinglan ordered in a cold voice.
In fact, no matter whether the Bai family has any connection with the Dongchu royal family, this time, she wants to kill Yuan Xiaonian, so Li Suining and Bai Yu'an should not be able to come back alive.
"Yes, I understand!" Zuo Jiali said with a grateful look, "Please, Your Majesty, wait for my good news!"
Shangguan Jinglan nodded slowly, "I hope you won't disappoint me again this time."
Soon, Bai Zhi saw Zuo Jiali off.
"In this operation, I'm afraid... no one will come back alive." Bai Zhi said worriedly.
Shangguan Jinglan would never leave anyone alive after assassinating the prince.
"Second Master Zuo, if you have the chance, run away with the Bai family and don't come back," she continued.
Zuo Jiali smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, sister! Take care, sister. I'm leaving first!"
"Go!" Bai Zhi watched him walk away, then shouted worriedly, "Take care!"
Zuo Jiali didn't look back, but waved and strode away.
Bai Zhi sighed softly, and after the people had gone far away, she returned to the main hall, "Empress, Second Young Master Zuo has already gone back."
"Yes." Shangguan Jinglan nodded and slowly said, "Baizhi, how many years have you been with me?"
"Your Majesty, I have been following you for ten years." Bai Zhi answered respectfully.
Shangguan Jinglan nodded again, "Yes, for ten years, you have been the person I trust the most."
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your kindness." Bai Zhi lowered her head, her heart pounding.
"Baizhi, what do you think is the most important thing about this operation?" Shangguan Jinglan asked casually with her eyes closed.
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, I believe that regardless of the success or failure of this operation, there must be no possibility of any leaks."
Shangguan Jinglan looked over and said, "You are quite right. Baizhi, are you willing to go there for me?"
Bai Zhi's expression changed slightly. She had just guessed this possibility, but when she actually heard it, she couldn't help but tremble.
"Baizhi, I trust you. If you are willing to go, I will naturally be happy, but if you don't want to go, I..." Shangguan Jinglan still relies heavily on Baizhi in life.
But as she herself said, one of the people she trusts most is Bai Zhi.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to make this trip for you." Bai Zhi made a decision quickly.
Seeing her like this, Shangguan Jinglan suddenly felt reluctant. Although she had no intention of silencing Bai Zhi, there would be many dangers along the way.
She hesitated and said, "Don't rush to decide. I'll think about whether there is a more suitable candidate."
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this matter anymore. Let me run the trip for you." Bai Zhi said sincerely.
"Okay!" Shangguan Jinglan quickly made up her mind. "I'm very happy that you've been so dedicated to me. No matter what the outcome of this operation is, I'll reward you handsomely upon your return, and I'll also treat your family well."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bai Zhi knelt down to express her gratitude, but she knew in her heart that this trip to Dongchu would probably be dangerous for her, but at least it was better than living in this harem where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
After Baizhi left, Shangguan Jinglan secretly summoned the last person.
The man was dressed in black and wore a black scarf that covered his entire face, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
"I want you to act in secret and monitor everyone on this trip, especially Zuo Jiali and... Bai Zhi."
"I understand."
Shangguan Jinglan continued, "If any of them betrays me... they will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
"And..." Shangguan Jinglan narrowed her eyes and finally said, "Yuan Xiaonian and Fuxing must not come back alive. As for the two from the Bai family... let's kill them all together. However, don't do anything until the very last moment."
"Yes! Queen!"
On the other side, after dark, Li Suining immediately asked Xingxing what might happen on this trip.
However, what she didn't expect was that the answer Xingxing gave her was so vague that she couldn't know anything at all.
"What's going on?" She couldn't help but get anxious. "Why is this happening? Could it be... that my ability has disappeared?"
"No way, sister, don't be anxious, try again." Bai Ruian encouraged gently from the side.
Li Suining tried several more times, but still got nothing.
Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes and tentatively guessed, "Could it be because of Miss Fuxing?"
Bai Yu'an quickly understood what the third brother meant. "You mean that Fuxing has become an uncertain factor, so now Xingxing can't accurately predict things related to her?"
"Sister, take a look at the situation over there with Huo Ling'er." You Zhu suggested on a whim.
"Okay!" Li Suining concentrated again and silently chanted in his heart, "Xingxing, Xingxing, tell me, is Sister Huo Ling'er doing well recently?"
After she finished reading, she slowly opened her eyes and immediately looked up at the sky.
The others looked at her nervously, waiting for her answer.
