Xiao Zhixing stroked his chin, thinking.
Should she take advantage of this situation and manipulate things to make Zhao Yunqi believe that she is his son?
He's heartless, so it's no wonder she's unjust!
She neither admitted nor denied it, but she wanted him to be certain to some extent that she was his daughter.
The benefits are obvious.
She had become his only bloodline; she wanted to see what he would do after finding out the truth.
She felt no remorse for deceiving the scumbag, and there was indeed a chance she was his child; it wasn't intentional deception.
Or should we carefully plan this out?
Clicking into Li Jun's replay, wow, he and Qi Mengshu consummated their marriage.
The comments here are interesting too.
Another scumbag has emerged!
[We agreed that he would consummate his marriage with the concubine after Ningxiu married into the family. I never imagined that you, Li, would be such a vulgar man!]
[This is just a man's nature, you women should stop nagging. It's just that Qi Mengshu is a master strategist.]
[Exactly! It's perfectly normal for someone to sleep with their concubine, as long as they don't have a child born out of wedlock. That's being fair to the legal wife!]
Don't think about this with modern mindsets. Li Jun is from ancient times, and he's used to having wives and concubines. In his eyes, women are probably all pretty much the same; he can choose whoever he likes.
【Tui!】
【No, didn't you guys notice that Qi Mengshu is acting really strange? What she said to Li Jun last night was cut off from the camera. I'm sure Li Jun was set up.】
Xiao Zhixing carefully reviewed the playback.
Before the camera cut off the view, the lip movements of Qi Mengshu whispering in Li Jun's ear were:
“My lord, I think I know who my sister’s biological father is.”
Then Li Jun followed her into the inner room, and didn't come out of her room until the next day, looking somewhat puzzled.
He seemed slightly angry, but not really angry, and there was a thoughtful look on his face; it was just strange.
Xiao Zhixing sighed inwardly; she wanted to know too.
Why do you two have to talk about such important things in bed at such a crucial time?
Qi Mengshu, you've successfully caught my attention. Should I arrest you and torture you to extract a confession?
Or should we just have Bai Feng search the soul?
Sigh, I'm really no good, good or bad, but she's happy.
Nothing major happened on Lin Rushu's side; the funerals for Lin's father and Song Kang were completed.
Before the emperor's punishment was handed down, the two households kept a low profile. Apart from Lin Yishu and a few male members going to and from school, no one else went out.
This is a wise move. With the pillars of both governments gone, not keeping a low profile would be suicidal.
Meanwhile, news came from Xiao Yuanshan's side that Doctor Yang was escorting him by waterway and that he would be able to return to Shengjing in about ten days.
The other party wrote to her anxiously, asking if the goddess doctor could save the prince.
Xiao Zhixing replied: Sure, we're researching the antidote, so please be patient.
Let's look at Ji Bai and Bai Su again.
The former worked diligently in the military camp and has now taken over most of the logistics work in the new city outside Guixiong Pass, entrusted with an important task by Xiao Bei.
This person is shrewd, gentle, and upright.
He wasn't afraid of getting tired or dirty, and he could share joys and sorrows with everyone. With his handsome face, he quickly gained the trust of the soldiers.
The comments section was full of compliments.
His popularity rivals that of Huo Baijun, especially his massive female fanbase, whose fighting spirit is off the charts, making even the men hesitant to approach him.
Our Bai Su girl has been promoted to second-class maid and has also become Xiao Zhixing's personal doctor.
The other party dutifully played the role of an ancient person without going astray in the slightest.
Embrace the spirit of hard work and perseverance of the working class, prioritizing survival while striving for advancement step by step.
Xiao Zhixing gave her a small thumbs up, hoping she would keep it up and remain well-behaved, otherwise...
Finally, let's watch Xiao Kui's replay.
She would carefully observe the scene of him reading the memorial.
Through those massive amounts of memorials, she gained a deeper understanding of the people and affairs of the Northern Barbarians and also remembered a lot of useful information.
For example, right now.
The four fledglings finally decided to use a sleeping potion to kill the eight thousand people, and planned to use other methods later.
Without Xiao Zhixing's assistance, Xiong Chumo not only has a big appetite, but he's also quite good at studying.
He led a group of people to find a lot of herbs, concocted a sleeping potion, and obtained three more thumbs.
That night, all the northern barbarians who were cooking were drugged and fell into a deep sleep, dying in their sleep.
"Don't make it too bloody, their clothes are still useful."
Xiao Zhixing offered a reminder.
She already knew from Xiao Kui's report that this was a person from the Wubi tribe.
I also learned from Xiao Yan's collection of books that this tribe worships the moon.
The people are generally socially awkward and not good at speaking. The tribe does not like to interact with others and only obeys the Khan's orders.
Therefore, when they impersonate each other, they must follow this pattern to avoid making a mistake that arouses suspicion.
The next day, the group disguised themselves as Ubi people and slowly advanced with their warhorses and supplies.
"General Su's side also killed more than 5,000 people and seized nearly 10,000 warhorses," Bai Feng reported.
In addition, they have seized more than 5,000 warhorses and more than 10,000 good horses. It would be a pity if any of them were injured.
"Send someone to contact those inside the pass and bring the horses back." Everyone agreed.
Only Xiao Yun was disappointed that his plan probably wouldn't work.
A group of men were sent back with the horses, while Xiao Zhixing and the others continued forward. After traveling for less than half a day, they saw fireworks rising in the distance.
"Your Highness, it's several other tribal forces; they've joined up here," the scout reported after sneaking out to investigate.
Xiao Zhixing also saw it through the live broadcast camera: the huge camp was divided into six or seven groups, each with a different flag.
