Hand over the tiger tally?
A cold smile appeared on Ruan Qingchen's handsome face. He looked at Li Wen and asked in a low voice, "Lord Li, are you so sure that the Tiger Tally is with me?"
Li Wen frowned, not believing Ruan Qingchen's words.
The Empress handed the Tiger Tally to Ruan Qingchen in front of everyone.
After Ruan Qingchen rebelled, Jun Zilin captured Ruan Qingchen but did not retrieve the Tiger Tally.
"Since it's not with you, I naturally have ways to find it."
After saying that, Li Wen's eyes grew even colder, and he sneered repeatedly, "Nan Yuan, who's by your side, escaped, didn't she?"
A look of shock flashed across Ruan Qingchen's eyes, which Li Wen caught. He laughed heartily, now he finally knew where the Tiger Tally was.
Once he obtains the Tiger Tally, he will control the lifeline of the imperial city, and at that time, Chu Qingxuan will be completely suppressed by him.
Ruan Qingchen watched Li Wen laugh wildly, a slight smile playing on her lips, her eyes holding a strange hint of amusement.
He said to Li Wen, "Lord Li, I hope you can get what you want."
Li Wen snorted coldly and waved his hand, saying, "Ruan Qingchen, you won't be arrogant for long."
Ruan Qingchen smiled gently, her composure best described as serene.
"We'll talk about it once you're in that position."
"Hmph, you just wait!"
After leaving the secret room, Li Wen realized that he had not obtained anything from Ruan Qingchen, except to confirm that Ruan Qingchen was indeed Luo Yuchen.
But none of this was of any use.
The important thing is to find the tiger tally.
Li Wen narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. No matter what, he was determined to get that position.
That way, I won't be trampled underfoot and bossed around by a woman.
Li Wen was secretly searching for Nan Yuan, while Chu Qingxuan was also searching for Nan Yuan, albeit openly.
In Chu Qingxuan's eyes, Nan Yuan was a traitor, and she ordered his arrest.
This month has passed, and Chu Qingxuan's men captured Nan Yuan, but he was intercepted halfway. After Chu Qingxuan found out, she punished those people severely.
When Nan Yuan woke up, she found herself in a dark dungeon. She opened her eyes groggily and saw that she was surrounded by torture instruments, which made her shudder.
"You're finally awake."
Nan Yuan frowned; the person's voice sounded familiar.
Nan Yuan opened her eyes and saw Li Wen standing in front of her, his eyes filled with greed.
Nan Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled sarcastically and said, "I never expected to fall into your hands."
If I remember correctly, he wasn't captured by Li Wen's men.
"Where is the Tiger Tally?" Li Wen asked directly.
"The tiger tally is indeed with me, but I promised you, sir, that I would not hand it over to anyone!"
Nan Yuan grinned, revealing a weak smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Wen looked at Nan Yuan and said, "Your master is barely able to protect himself now, yet you still want to leave the Tiger Tally to him?"
"What did you do to our master!" Nan Yuan's eyes were bloodshot as she stared intently at Li Wen, as if trying to see right through him.
Li Wen reached out and grabbed Nan Yuan's chin, mocking, "What a loyal dog."
"You want to kill Ruan Qingchen, don't you?"
"Exchange it for the tiger tally."
Nan Yuan lowered his head and made sobbing sounds; he was crying.
Seeing this, Li Wen continued, "Nan Yuan, think carefully, is the tiger tally more important, or is your master's life more important?"
"It's worth it to exchange the tiger tally for your master's life."
Li Wen stared at the back of Nan Yuan's head and smiled slightly.
It's really great to have the feeling of controlling other people's lives and deaths.
