Qingfeng lowered his head and said nothing. Shen Aojun nodded, and seeing the general's sedan chair parked at the door, he sat on it.

Watching the sedan chair going away, Qingfeng always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him fieryly, but when he turned his head, the gaze disappeared, and he didn't know where the source of this gaze came from.

He looked around carefully and didn't see anyone acting suspiciously, so he weighed the hilt of the sword in his hand and entered the palace.

Gongsun Ningxue was nearby, watching the general's wife's sedan chair leave the palace. Could it be that something had happened to the princess?

She was desperate to find an opportunity to sneak in, but she didn't expect to be caught by patrolling officers. Huang Zijun had been patrolling nearby, and unexpectedly he caught the suspicious person.

"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around?" Huang Zijun asked unhappily, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand.

"Sir, I'm just passing by..." Gongsun Ningxue smiled stiffly at him, but Huang Zijun saw something.

"You are a woman, why are you pretending to be a man?" Huang Zijun had seen the princess's tricks of changing clothes, and he could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was a woman. No matter how rough and heavy her voice was, he could still hear some clues.

Gongsun Ningxue was secretly amazed in her heart. No one had ever been able to see through her identity. She didn't expect that the man in front of her could tell that she was a woman at a glance. She was just about to seize the opportunity to run away, but she was still surrounded by them.

"You dare to run away? You must be guilty. Come back to the Ministry of Justice with me!" Huang Zijun said coldly, and ordered someone to take her away. Gongsun Ningxue hurriedly said, "I'm here to find Rong Zhen. Let me see Rong Zhen."

"You are so brave! Do you think you can call the prince by his name?" Huang Zijun turned around with an unhappy look on his face after hearing this. He held the hilt of the sword in his hand and glanced at her fiercely with a sharp gaze.

"This official asked me to go meet King Zhao. I have very important information to tell him." Gongsun Ningxue thought that perhaps only Rong Zhen could save her, but it didn't matter whether she was saved or not. It was not that she wanted to survive alone, but she wanted the prince to let go of the brothers in the sword tomb, who had all fallen into Gongsun Yan's trap.

"You wait."

Huang Zijun walked in first and told Rong Zhen about the suspicious person. Rong Zhen subconsciously concluded that this person must be Gongsun Ningxue and hurriedly said, "Why don't you bring her in!"

Huang Zijun realized that he had almost caused a disaster, and immediately asked people to come to the door, but he didn't expect that Gongsun had disappeared at this moment. He looked at the deputy general beside him with an angry face and said, "I asked you to watch this person, where is that person?"

"It seems that he was transferred by the Ministry of War. They said that Lord Xie is also in charge of this matter."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you Changming?"

The deputy general nodded and was also confused. This person just came out with a badge, and everyone could only hand him over obediently. After all, the Ministry of War still had the power. Huang Zijun clenched his fists tightly and went to the Ministry of War to ask for people. Unexpectedly, Xie Changming had already detained Gongsun Ningxue, and no one could step in.

At this time in the dim dungeon, Gongsun Ningxue was tied up and her eyes were covered with a black cloth. She could not see the road ahead, but she knew that she was going down and must have been led to some secret passage.

I heard a man's footsteps. The man's footsteps were very light. A martial artist could tell at a glance whether this man had practiced martial arts or not. He seemed to be a top-notch master. "Who are you? Why did you bring me here? I said I wanted to see King Zhao."

Gongsun Ningxue repeated it again, but the person did not respond to her. From the noise, it seemed that someone brought a chair for him to sit down on.

Xie Changming looked at the woman in front of him with a lazy and gentle expression, and asked someone to remove the black cloth on her face. Gongsun Ningxue then saw that there were two candles burning in the dim dungeon. Looking at the man in front of her with a flickering expression, she had no idea what he was thinking.

"Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

After Gongsun Ningxue's eyes were refreshed and clear, she finally saw the man's face clearly. He was handsome and extraordinary, and his evil aura revealed a strange and unsettling temperament. Who was this person? "Don't worry about who I am. You must be Gongsun Ningxue." Xie Changming looked at her and narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, the people under him were very reliable. Gongsun Ningxue was captured in less than two days. I didn't expect that the name of this stunning beauty was well-deserved.

"How do you know my identity? Have you been looking for me?" Gongsun Ningxue asked in surprise, shaking her body uneasily, only to find that her hands and feet had been tied up. At this moment, she was like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.

"Don't be so anxious. In fact, you and I are destined to be together." Xie Changming raised his lips and walked lazily to her. Gongsun Ningxue looked at him limping and felt sad. She didn't expect him to be a cripple.

"Gongsun Ningxue, do you know that your death is approaching?"

The man's evil words slowly came out of his mouth, and Gongsun Ningxue looked at him with uneasiness.

"What do you mean?"

She thought about it and realized that she had not done anything against the law, but she was inexplicably involved with the court.

I'm afraid even grandpa couldn't have imagined that the sword tomb would be like this, and that the entire Gongsun family would be executed.

"Your brother sold the information about the Sword Tomb to the imperial court. This is one of the important reasons why your Sword Tomb brought disaster upon itself. If you want to blame someone, blame your useless brother for destroying the Sword Tomb with his own hands."

When Xie Changming said this, he laughed exaggeratedly. Gongsun Ningxue shed tears of despair, and her tears fell like pearls.

"Please don't cry. I have no interest in women's tears. If you want to act weak and pitiful in front of me, I advise you to give it back." After Xie Changming said this, he sat back in the chair. Gongsun Ningxue bit her lips tightly.

"Then why did you come to me?"

"Of course it's for..." Xie Changming deliberately left a suspense. What he wanted was a token that could command all the disciples of the Sword Tomb. This token was in Gongsun Mu's hands, but Gongsun Mu had always protected it very carefully. When leaving it to the next heir, he would seal it in a wooden box. Finding the key to open the wooden box was the most important thing.

Gongsun Yan obviously does not have the qualities of an heir, so he sets his sights on Gongsun Ningxue. Maybe she will be the owner of the sword tomb in the future.

The imperial court has not had a clear attitude until now, and has always been hindered by the power of the Sword Tomb. In addition, based on the late emperor's last words, the emperor and the empress dowager will not do anything to the Sword Tomb.
