Chapter 38 The Mastermind



Zhao Jun was lying there in a daze, and a layer of light coming through from not far away woke her up.

She struggled to open her eyes. The light came through a window in a small room.

Zhao Jun was lying on the ground and could feel his hands and feet were tied.

The back of my neck still aches slightly, and I feel a little cold. It might be because I caught a cold after lying down all night.

She closed her eyes again, thinking.

Who kidnapped her? Did she offend anyone in the palace?

Could it be Feng Quan and his gang? Would they be so brave?

Zhao Jun couldn't help but laugh bitterly to himself. He didn't expect that he would also get the experience package of time travel and being tied up.

"Master, are you okay?" The mirror spoke. Fortunately, it still existed.

"It's nothing serious. Did you see the person last night?" Zhao Jun asked.

"No, I can only see what you see. If you don't see it, then I naturally don't see it either," the mirror replied.

"Then can you save me?" Zhao Jun asked again.

"Well, I can only help you open the world, but you can't come out, haha." The mirror smiled awkwardly.

Well, it’s still this useless character.

"Then help me open the world. I'll contact them and ask them to send something over."

Zhao Jun said this, and this was the only solution at the moment.

"Okay, I'll open it now." The mirror said and opened the world.

After a while...

No movement.

"What's going on?" After waiting for a while, Zhao Jun still heard no movement.

"This, seems to be offline..." Mirror answered with difficulty.

"What about the other one? He's not online?" Zhao Jun asked angrily?

"Um……"

Awkwardness spread in the small space.

Zhao Jun's eyes went dark.

What kind of luck do I have?

Forget it, let’s leave it to fate.

Now all she could hope was that Ying Zheng would realize she was gone sooner rather than later.

Otherwise, I'm afraid you will lose me, your loyal minister.

Zhao Jun suppressed the fear in his heart and thought about other irrelevant things to control his trembling lips.

After a while, the door creaked and someone came in.

Zhao Jun quickly closed his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement.

"The person has been kidnapped. Has the Queen Mother said what to do with him?" A female voice sounded as if asking the person next to her.

"The Queen Mother has just woken up. Let's take her there first." Another female voice answered.

Before she could finish her words, Zhao Jun felt two pairs of arms holding her up. She continued to pretend to be unconscious and was dragged out by them.

Queen Mother?

Zhao Jun thought silently in his heart.

She had never heard of the existence of such a person as the Queen Mother in the palace, and she had never had any contact with the Queen Mother before. How did she offend her?

Mr. Zhao was puzzled.

But there is no other way now. We can only wait and see what the Queen Mother wants to do.

Soon she was dragged into a room and thrown to the ground without any mercy by the two people next to her.

Zhao Jun continued to pretend to be dizzy, and she could faintly smell the fragrance of incense at the tip of her nose, which she had never smelled before.

"Empress Dowager, we have brought the person here." The female voice replied respectfully.

"Ahem, I see. Is she still not awake?"

A hoarse voice sounded, accompanied by coughs and gasps from time to time.

The space was quiet for two seconds, and Zhao Jun frowned uneasily.

Suddenly a stream of cold water splashed on her face.

Zhao Jun was choked by the sudden water and started coughing, and quickly opened his eyes.

You said you didn't make a sound before you splashed water on her. If you had known earlier, she should have opened her eyes in time.

Zhao Jun's eyes were pierced by the sudden bright light, and he struggled to ask the person in front of him.

"You, who are you? Why are you arresting me? Have I offended you in any way?"

The woman lying not far away coughed a few more times, and the maid next to her hurried over to help her.

Zhao Jun looked up and saw the appearance of the Queen Mother.

She didn't look particularly old, probably around forty years old.

But he had a head full of white hair, a sallow complexion, and a haggard appearance, looking as if he had been suffering from a long illness.

"You are Zhao Jun. You have never offended me, but you are that bastard who offended me."

The woman stared at her with fierce eyes and a manic tone.

This person is the queen mother, so could the bastard she is talking about be Ying Zheng?

Is there any mother who would say that about her son?

What's more, she didn't expect that this disaster was actually brought upon her by Ying Zheng.

"Wait, wait, Queen Mother, I think you've misunderstood. Ying Zheng and I have nothing to do with each other. You've really got it wrong. How has he offended you? Go and seek revenge on him."

She quickly explained that her life was still in her hands.

Why did he have to go after her instead of seeking revenge on Ying Zheng?

"Hmph, you, you feel, cough, cough."

The Queen Mother seemed so angry at her words that she couldn't help but cough violently.

"If I could kill that bastard, why would I need to tie you up?"

The woman yelled loudly with a crazy look on her face.

Zhao Jun was frightened by her ferocious face.

It seems that this person has a deep hatred with Ying Zheng, but I am alone now and cannot resist her.

Zhao Jun thought about it secretly and decided to delay her as much as possible to buy some time for himself.

Isn’t it said that villains die because they talk too much? She must have to drag it out a little longer.

"So you just want to kill me to vent your anger. I agree, but can you please tell me what evil things Ying Zheng has done so that I can condemn him!"

Zhao Jun said this with pretended indignation.

The Queen Mother looked mentally unstable, so I just followed her words to comfort her.
