Upon hearing this, the Queen's expression froze instantly, as if her soul had been drained away. She blankly followed the palace guards to search the area.
But this investigation uncovered not only letters and property, but also a cursed doll that had been used to curse the old king. The doll was not yet finished and had no effect, but it was enough to show the queen's wolfish ambition.
"It wasn't me, I really didn't put this there!" the queen tried her best to deny it, but no one believed her anymore.
The once-envied Miao matriarch is now a prisoner hated by everyone, confined in the dungeon every day, subjected to insults and torture.
More importantly, all of this was simply because of a few words Si Jin uttered with a smile.
This was the nth time Zheng Sixuan had been impressed by Si Jin's schemes and methods. The young master was ruthless and decisive in his actions, a rare emperor-like figure. He was also fair in rewarding and punishing his subordinates, and was exceptionally good to them.
If it weren't for the fact that he still cared about that person and wanted to sincerely follow this master, he would have been a better person.
That person treated him badly, but he still couldn't let go. He always hoped that if he did a good job for the Central Plains, he could... see him one more time.
People say that Zheng Sixuan is intelligent and quick-witted, but he himself feels that he is completely foolish.
"Young Master." Zheng Sixuan quickly regained his composure, suppressed the bitterness in his heart, put on a bright and cheerful smile, and pointed to the candy stall in front of him: "They sell candy over there, shall we go that way?"
Si Jin pointed to the stall on the other side: "But they sell berries over there."
“But… they’re torturing Boss Huo over there, how can that be worthy of the young master’s eyes?” Zheng Sixuan advised, “The mansion sends fresh berries every day, let’s eat them when we get back.”
"Hmm." Si Jin got into the carriage, but kept her head down, looking preoccupied. This only fueled Zheng Sixuan's curiosity. Could there be some news?
Zheng Sixuan sighed softly and asked cautiously, "Young Master... is something troubling you?"
Si Jin: "I was thinking about the letters that were found in the Queen's palace today. Some of them were in contact with foreign tribes, and it seems that they wanted to conspire to annex Miao territory and the Central Plains. It is clear that although the Queen is the sister of Emperor Ji Mulin of the Central Plains, she is not sincerely cooperating with him."
“Really?” Zheng Sixuan said, taking notes of the information. “This woman has quite the appetite.”
"Never mind, she's already been arrested, young master, don't worry. I'll go buy you some candy."
“Okay.” Si Jin let Zheng Sixuan out of the car, but a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes. She spoke to Xiao Yao with her divine sense: You see, this is the benefit of keeping him around.
From now on, Ji Mulin will only know what the Queen wants him to know. Ji Mulin is naturally suspicious, and now his alliance with the Queen has completely collapsed.
The young Gu master smiled faintly, his icy eyes reflecting the silver ornament on his forehead, creating a strangely beautiful effect.
Xiao Yao took out her camera, resisting the urge to explode, and secretly snapped a photo, purely to admire the face, hehehe...
But the next second, the photo was forcibly deleted by a black cat using the main system, along with a warning message.
Come back soon, I have a surprise for you.
Xiaoyao: [QAQ]
… …
Zheng Sixuan respected Si Jin; to be precise, he respected all literary giants and powerful figures in the world, and Si Jin was one of them.
So over the years, apart from gathering information and passing on messages, he never had any bad intentions. After buying candy for Si Jin and sending him back to his room, he secretly sent a letter to Ji Mulin.
The content is: The Queen is unfaithful.
On the bed, watching the carrier pigeon fly away, Si Jin finally fell asleep contentedly. The Queen was now completely finished.
Half a month later, Si Jin figured that the Queen was almost in despair, so he kindly went to the prison to check on her (and mend her knife).
When the cell was opened, the queen was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, her body was covered in festering wounds, and she was leaning lifelessly against a clump of straw, showing no trace of her former arrogance.
She sent a letter to her cousin Ji Mulin asking for help, but there has been no news of him for days. She had always thought that Ji Mulin, now the emperor of the Central Plains, was her strongest support.
But now that she's fallen on hard times, even her powerful backer doesn't want her anymore.
"Long time no see." Si Jin disgustedly kicked at the straw and looked down at the Queen.
The woman trembled in shock and immediately became wary: "What...what are you doing?"
"Don't get excited." Si Jin said calmly, her smile gentle and warm. "I'm here to tell you a secret."
