"How can a normal person go crazy just like that?"
Gu Qing frowned and lowered his voice. "You just said that this matter has alarmed the emperor. Since the emperor has ordered the news to be suppressed, how did you know?"
"Of course it's because..."
Mu Xin paused halfway through his speech, looked around anxiously, and continued only after making sure that no one could hear him.
"When the palace servants reported to the emperor, my eldest brother happened to be there and heard the whole thing. When he came back, he repeatedly warned me not to go out casually during this period of time."
"I heard that Bai Rongrong hasn't woken up yet, and has been mumbling things like 'Help!' and 'Don't look for me.'"
There's a story behind this.
The two looked at each other, and both understood the meaning in each other's eyes. They shook their heads and clicked their tongues at the same time.
"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door!"
Gu Qing narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically, "I don't think there are any ghosts or gods involved. It's just that she has done too many bad things and has a guilty conscience, which is why she is like this now."
She sent people to investigate and found out that Bai Rongrong relied on his status to bully the people on the border. He was also very jealous. Whenever he saw a woman who was more beautiful than himself, he would order people to scratch the woman's face.
There were also several incidents where people died because they seized land and wanted to use it as a horse training ground for their own entertainment.
Her favorite thing to do was to tie people to her horses and drag them behind them until they died.
Gu Qing couldn't help feeling sick when she thought about the things she had done. But when she thought about the current situation, it was just karma.
And there was the so-called General Bai. She didn't believe that as Bai Rongrong's father, he was completely unaware of what his daughter had done.
In her opinion, General Bai was probably turning a blind eye and indulging in it without restraint!
Parents who give birth to children but don’t know how to raise them are even more despicable.
"I'm going to tell you this in secret, so don't tell anyone else."
Mu Xin did not forget to give her instructions before leaving.
Gu Qing looked at her nervous expression, raised a faint smile, gave her a reassuring look, and assured her again and again.
"Don't worry, I will take this secret into my coffin and won't tell anyone!"
Until this moment, neither of them thought about anything else. They just felt that God had eyes and that evil would be punished. Little did they know that the mastermind behind the scenes was Chen Zhizhou.
…
"Master, Bai Rongrong is scared to death!"
Le Feng's voice was flat, without any ripples, as if he was talking about something very normal, without any of the nervousness that Mu Xin had when he was talking.
He was wearing night clothes and had a soft sword at his waist. He looked dusty and it was obvious that he had just returned from a mission.
"Crazy?"
Chen Zhizhou frowned, and a flash of surprise passed through his eyes.
Ever since Gu Qing had a quarrel with him, he had ordered Feng to investigate, and sure enough, he found the problem.
It turned out that Bai Rongrong came to Beijing and deliberately made things difficult for Gu Qing. He also spread rumors about himself in front of her, causing her to misunderstand.
If it were any other case, it would be fine, but when Chen Zhizhou thought about Bai Rongrong causing rift between them, he could not tolerate it at all. So he ordered Lu Feng to sneak into the Bai family mansion at night and scare her.
I really didn't expect that this Bai Rongrong looked tough but was actually weak inside. He went crazy after being slightly frightened!
This really caught Chen Zhizhou off guard.
But if you are crazy, then so be it!
It can be considered as getting rid of harm for the people, but...
Chen Zhizhou's eyes darkened, and he stared at Feng with a solemn expression, his voice low.
"There are no loopholes left, right?"
"Absolutely not!"
Liao Feng answered very confidently.
Chen Zhizhou nodded when he heard this, but did not continue the topic. He changed the subject and said, "Keep an eye on the Duke of Zhao's mansion for the next few days."
I estimated that the time was almost up, and I was afraid that it wouldn't be long before that woman took action.
"yes."
Le Feng agreed, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared without a trace.
…
As Chen Zhizhou expected, that night, Zhao Qi grabbed the woman who was about to drug her, tied her up, and threw her in front of Duke Zhao.
He then ordered his servants to search her house for poison.
At this point, things couldn't be clearer.
Zhao Qi also handed over the evidence collected by Chen Zhizhou.
Duke Zhao was devastated by these series of events and almost fainted.
The wife of Duke Zhao lost control of her emotions and directly ordered her servants to beat the woman to death.
Less than half an incense stick of time had passed when Chen Zhizhou received the news.
"Would you like to join in the fun?"
He raised an eyebrow at Gu Qing.
When Gu Qing heard his words, her face was filled with excitement, but she still had some concerns in her heart, "Isn't this a bad idea?"
"What's wrong with that?"
Chen Zhizhou hooked his lips, put his arm around her shoulders, tilted his head and lowered his eyes to whisper in her ear, "No one will know anyway."
"Besides, you and I have worked so hard on this for so long, can't we just see the final result?"
His voice was a little hoarse, but it seemed to have an alluring charm.
In the end, Gu Qing couldn't resist the temptation of his words. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and was held by Chen Zhizhou. They climbed over the eaves and walls and landed on the eaves of Duke Zhao's mansion.
With the experience from previous times, Gu Qing was not at all panicked this time, but more excited.
…
In the main hall.
Duke Zhao and his wife sat in the first seats, each with a different expression as they looked at the woman who was tied up like a pig.
"Huo, why on earth are you doing this!"
Lady Zhao really couldn't understand it.
She thought to herself that she had been kind to Mrs. Huo. Not only did she completely trust her, she had even considered promoting her to be her concubine. However, she had not expected the reward she would receive would be like this.
It turned out that the reason why her and Qi'er's health was getting worse and worse was not because of the illness during pregnancy, but because of Huo's deliberate poisoning.
"Why? You still ask me why?"
Huo was tied up and unable to move, so she could only move forward with difficulty. There was deep resentment and hatred in her eyes, and she looked at the wife of Duke Zhao as if she were an enemy.
After hearing what Lady Zhao said, he howled to the sky and looked like a madman.
She laughed for a long time, from the initial madness, to a little sadness, and finally a tear unexpectedly slid down the corner of her eye, and gradually her laughter turned into sobbing.
Seeing her venting her emotions unscrupulously, a trace of heartache flashed across Duke Zhao's face. However, after learning what she had done, he could no longer restore his previous emotions. Instead, he felt more fear and resistance.
He really didn't expect that the people around him could be so cruel.
"Huo, please stop acting like that. You just think I stole your position back then, so you're plotting revenge on me!"
A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of Lady Zhao.
