Chapter 329 You were reborn too?
He Ting scrutinized Ling Ruofeng's expression, as if trying to determine the truthfulness of what he said.
Just when Ling Ruofeng thought that he didn't believe him.
He Ting suddenly raised his hand.
"Take him away."
The Imperial Guards took the man back to prison.
This time, however, the three of them were locked up separately.
Ling Ruofeng was locked up alone in the cell, while Ling Xuerou and Lin Shujing were locked up in the backyard.
When the grasshopper returned to Yun Zhao's hands, it told her what had just happened.
Yun Zhao put them back into the small bamboo basket and returned them to their hiding place.
"My father once said that the King of Yue was not a person who could shoulder heavy responsibilities."
The Censor-in-Chief is someone close to His Majesty; he shouldn't have the ability to extend his influence into the Censor-in-Chief's inner circle.
"Is it possible that He Ting is a member of the Qi family, and that the Qi family naturally wants the prince to ascend the throne?"
He wouldn't be of one mind with the King of Yue, so He Ting had been testing Ling Ruofeng? He separated the three members of his family and imprisoned them separately.
Could it be that they're thinking of doing something underhanded? For example,
Did they interrogate Ling Ruofeng's wife and daughter separately, or use them to threaten him?
Lu Li couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenario.
When a censor colludes with the emperor's relatives, such a despicable person might not even spare the children.
Ling Xuerou was reborn, so she knows far more than her father.
She knew about Wei Junyan's situation, and if the King of Yue wanted to abandon them, she would never risk her life for him.
"Uncle Lu, is there any way to get into the government office tonight?"
Yun Zhao asked.
"I observed their defensive rotations today; they actually didn't bring many players with them."
Presumably because they dared not use the government officials, it was the Imperial Guards who pursued Yuan Shuchang.
It's also the Imperial Guards themselves changing shifts; they should have a chance to get in at night, but those in the prison cells probably won't be able to.
While waiting for the grasshoppers to return, Lu Xun was also recording their shift change time and number of personnel.
"Then we'll wait until tonight to go in."
Night falls.
The government office was quiet.
Lu Xun led Yun Zhao over the wall and into the government office, arriving near the side rooms in the backyard.
Three of the side rooms had their lights on.
The two chose a secluded spot, crouched down, held their breath, and listened quietly to the sounds inside.
"What has Lord He decided?"
Ling Xuerou's voice came from inside the room.
"What you're saying is utterly absurd."
He Ting was somewhat skeptical.
"Lord He, if I hadn't truly had a precognitive dream, how would the Prince of Yue have known about the plague? And how would the Prince of Yue have known the secrets of the Qi family?"
Ling Xuerou spoke with complete confidence, showing no fear of falling into the hands of others.
He Ting remained silent for a while, then asked, "What else do you know?"
"Lord He, you don't really think I would reveal such a life-saving method so readily, do you?"
What are your conditions?
“Let our family return to the capital and have our titles restored.”
"impossible."
He Ting refused without even thinking.
"What if I told you that I know a shocking secret, a secret that could almost overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
He Ting looked at the child in front of him. He looked only six or seven years old, but the curiosity and arrogance in his expression were completely out of place with his appearance.
"I can escort you back to the capital. If you have evidence to implicate the Prince of Yue..."
I can guarantee that your family will not be implicated in the case of the King of Yue. Anything more...
It all depends on what promises your so-called secret can get your master to make to you.
Ultimately, He Ting was just doing someone else's bidding.
"Okay, it's a deal."
"Get some rest. We'll set off tomorrow."
After saying that, He Ting left the room.
The imperial guards outside the gate immediately came to greet them.
"grown ups."
"Stay put, we'll leave first thing tomorrow morning."
He Ting gave the order.
"What about Yuan Shuchang?"
"Let them continue the pursuit. What they seized today is enough to explain to their superiors."
He was even more curious about what Ling Xuerou knew.
Unfortunately, Yun Zhao won't give him that chance.
Late at night is when defenses are at their weakest.
Yun Zhao took out a small porcelain bottle, poured the powder inside onto a handkerchief, and handed it to Lu Xun.
During the shift change, the Land Cruiser climbed through a window and entered the building.
Ling Xuerou was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Lu Xun stepped forward and directly covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief!
Suddenly her mouth and nose were covered, and Ling Xuerou woke up with a start.
Before she could even struggle, the powder she inhaled instantly knocked her unconscious.
Lu Xun stuffed the man into a sack, then carried the sack out the window.
When she woke up again, everything was pitch black, and her hands and feet were bound, making it impossible for her to move.
Without sight, hearing seems to become exceptionally clear.
She could clearly hear breathing.
She asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"
"haven't seen you for a long time."
As soon as the sound came out, she tensed up immediately.
"Yun Zhao?"
How did she end up here?
"It's me."
The other person's voice was too calm, and Ling Xuerou immediately sensed that something was wrong.
"Why...why did you arrest me?"
"What did you mean when you told He Ting today that you know a secret that could overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Yun Zhao walked up to her, with Hua Hua beside her.
The warm breath sprayed onto Ling Xuerou's face, carrying a faint smell of blood.
Hua Hua ate fruit irrigated with spiritual spring water for over a year, and not only became smarter than other wild beasts, but also developed a less strong fishy smell from eating raw food.
Ling Xuerou was so frightened that she quickly backed away.
"Did you tell the Prince of Yue about Wei Jingchen's identity?"
Yun Zhao asked directly.
"You, you..."
She choked for a moment, her whole body tensing up.
"Were you also reborn?"
Ling Xuerou asked in a trembling voice.
"You need me to answer such a simple question? You don't have much time left. Tell me, what secret do you know?"
Yun Zhao's words sent chills down her spine.
Yun Zhao has also been reborn!
Why?
Isn't she the most special one?
She always thought she was the only one who had been reborn!
"Why did you choose exile even after being reborn?"
She didn't understand.
What's so good about exile?
It was because Yun Zhao chose to go home that she never doubted that Yun Zhao was a reincarnated person!
"Ling Xuerou, don't waste my time. I fed you poison while you were unconscious. You only have one hour left."
"Are you crazy?! Why should I believe you?"
Ling Xuerou was startled.
But then I thought about it again.
Yun Zhao was Pei Jishi's prized student, and was an expert in medicine and poisons.
Could it be that they really poisoned her?
"You may not believe me, but an hour from now, it won't be me whose intestines are ruptured and my stomach is torn apart."
Yun Zhao said leisurely.
"Take off the blindfold, take out the antidote, and I'll..."
You have no chance to negotiate.
Yun Zhao interrupted her directly.
“If you wanted to kill me, you would have done so back in Yangshan Prefecture. Why wait until today? I won’t believe you.”
Ling Xuerou steadied herself, as if to comfort herself.
"Do you know why I didn't kill you before? I was just waiting for you to make a mistake and find Wei Junyan."
Yun Zhao's words startled her.
Did she find out that Wei Junyan was actually Wei Jingchen?
Impossible! How could Wei Jingchen tell her this secret?
"Could it be that he was reborn as well?"
Ling Xuerou's heart skipped a beat, and she asked incredulously.
