As Jiang Xiancao spoke, she played with the knife in her hand. Several times, the tip of the knife in her hand almost scratched Jiang Huaizhong's most vulnerable part.
Jiang Huaizhong was so frightened by her actions that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly said, "I know all this because I have spies planted in the Queen's palace!"
Jiang Xiancao laughed after hearing this. "Oh, you're quite capable. You even planted your people in the Queen's Palace? With such skills, how did you end up like this?"
Jiang Huaizhong's face turned ugly because of her ridicule, and he cursed in his heart, it's all because I didn't kill you, the unfilial daughter, earlier. But he wouldn't dare to say this even if he had a hundred courage, otherwise the knife in Jiang Xiancao's hand would really fall.
"One of the Queen's personal maids is named Bilian. She belongs to me. But this matter is extremely secretive, even the Queen and Tianming Pavilion are unaware of it."
Jiang Huaizhong was afraid that Jiang Xiancao would not believe him, so he told Jiang Xiancao how he sent Bilian into the palace to become the queen's personal maid, and how he had secretly passed messages to him over the years.
"Because Bi Cha was mute, the Queen trusted her and didn't shy away from discussing important matters with her. Furthermore, she was close to Qing Luan, the Queen's most trusted court lady. She actually saw the formation hidden in the Queen's palace and learned the key to unlocking it."
After hearing this, Jiang Xiancao immediately said:
"Write this key down, and I'll keep it as your lifeblood to ensure you don't die later."
Jiang Huaizhong shook his head:
"I don't believe what you say. What if I tell you and you still attack me? I want to see King Zhan."
"Prince Zhan is too busy to see you." Jiang Xiancao said coldly.
Jiang Huaizhong insisted, "I must see King Zhan. As soon as he comes, I will tell you how to break the formation! If he doesn't come, it will be useless even if you kill me."
He knew that Jiang Xiancao hated him, and he was afraid that Jiang Xiancao would use coercion and inducement to get information out of him and then turn around and kill him.
He would lose not only the secret but also his life, and he couldn't let this unfilial girl get away with it.
As for Jiang Xiancao holding a knife and wanting to make him a eunuch, he was of course afraid and absolutely unwilling to suffer such a great humiliation. But he also knew very well that even if he told everything he knew now, Jiang Xiancao could still use this inhumane punishment on him.
Because she hated him so much!
"I want to see King Zhan. I won't say a word before King Zhan comes! If you torture me now, I won't say a word!" Jiang Huaizhong said firmly.
Jiang Xiancao looked at him expressionlessly for a moment, then raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "Okay, I'll go and invite His Royal Highness Prince Zhan for you."
After saying that, she turned and left the torture room.
Shu Linyue was standing outside. Seeing her come out, she whispered, "He refuses to tell me. What are you going to do?"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Shu Linyue knew very well that Jiang Xiancao would never go to the palace to invite King Zhan over. King Zhan had to stay in the palace at this time and could not leave at all.
So, things are at a dead end?
Jiang Xiancao said softly, "Mom, I have a way to make him speak."
In the torture room, Jiang Huaizhong was waiting for King Zhan's arrival.
Suddenly, a strange figure appeared in front of him.
The man was tall but skinny like an old tree. He lifted up his cloak, revealing the face of Mr. Xuan, the head of Tianming Pavilion.
Jiang Huaizhong was extremely shocked. "You, why are you here?"
Mr. Xuan ignored his words. He stretched out his skinny but powerful hand and grabbed Jiang Huaizhong's throat.
"You betrayed Tianming Pavilion to Jiang Xiancao and broke your promise. I am here to take your life."
