After saying that, he turned around and sat cross-legged on the cold, hard board with his back to her.

Qin Ye couldn't see the expression on his face, nor was he sure what he meant by that. He stood there for a while and then left.

Walking out of the prison, the light outside was bright and the air was fresh.

"Send Princess Li to Zhaoyang Palace to stay temporarily. Serving her well, do not neglect her." She ordered a secret guard to escort her, in fact, she was also ordering someone to keep an eye on Qin Jiaojiao.

After leaving.

There was a drizzle in the sky.

I raised my head, facing the wind, the drizzle fell on my face, it was so cold that it felt stinging. A few yellow leaves fell from the branches and floated down lightly in the wind.

Before we knew it, winter was here.

Looking at the sky covered with dark clouds and the gloomy weather, and thinking of what King Li said, I felt inexplicably depressed and slightly uneasy in my heart, as if something was about to happen.

He pressed his chest and went to the imperial study immediately.

Zong Zhengchen is very busy.

The emperor fell, Prince Li was arrested, the government, the country, Prince Li's followers, all kinds of things were crowded together and all fell on Zong Zhengchen's shoulders. He was so busy that he was like a spinning top and hadn't slept for two days and nights.

Qin Ye walked into the imperial study, "Has Wu Nu been caught?"

Behind the desk.

Zong Zhengchen shook his head and rubbed his extremely tired temples, his fatigue unconcealed between his brows.

Qin Ye hadn't slept for two days, but he had no time to rest now.

"I feel a little uneasy."

She said, "Zi Ye just kept crying, and I took him and his mother to the prison. King Li said something, 'An end is another beginning.' I think there is another deeper meaning behind what he said."

If a normal person is imprisoned, he or she may become anxious, try every possible way to escape, and will do whatever it takes to turn the situation around.

But Li Wang was very quiet.

He stayed in the cell, didn't make any noise, didn't shout, didn't cause any trouble, and didn't contact outsiders.

He did nothing and looked so nonchalant, as if he was not the one being held captive.

It was precisely because of this that she was worried that King Li had a backup plan, which was why she was so fearless.

Zong Zhengchen frowned and said in a deep voice:

"You mean, Wu Nu might be the key to King Li's comeback?"

Qin Ye nodded, "Maybe?"

Wu Nu is the chieftain of the Miao tribe and is good at witchcraft. She helps Prince Li control the emperor. She is Prince Li's biggest helper and is not a worry-free woman.

She would not be at ease until she caught Wu Nu.

"The people below are investigating. All the palace gates have been sealed. She can't escape even if she has wings."

Qin Ye pondered for a moment and said:

"Why don't you open the palace gates? Send some people to pretend to be civilians and go to the city gates to make a scene, saying they are protesting the lockdown and the impact and harm of the lockdown. After a few hours of noise, you can pretend to be under pressure and open the city gates to let the civilians pass."

"Once the city gates are opened, and the people are causing trouble, it is the right time to guard against any omissions. Wu Nu is very likely to take the opportunity to escape from the city."

Upon hearing this, Zong Zhengchen thought it was feasible and immediately gave the order.

Soon, there was a commotion at the city gate.

The people wanted to leave the city, but the soldiers would not let them go. The two sides quarreled and then started a fight. Two people were accidentally injured, which aroused public anger.

After King Chen learned of this, he had no choice but to open the city gates and allow the people to enter and exit.

That night, at three o'clock in the morning, when people are most likely to feel sleepy and most relaxed, Wu Nu was caught hiding in a carriage carrying brocade cloth and preparing to sneak out of the city.

Escorted into the palace.

I still couldn't sleep that night.

"Master, we've caught the person." Han Feng and Han Ying held the person.

Qin Ye expected this, "Wu Nu, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Wu Nu was not stupid, so he naturally understood something:

"You deliberately opened the city gate and let my guard down, just to lure me out?"
