The look in the Ninth Prince's eyes was so direct that Madam Min could no longer pretend. Especially the threat in the Ninth Prince's words forced Madam Min to speak out.
When the Ninth Prince said that he would destroy Liancheng within three days, it was definitely not just talk. With the Ninth Prince's current ability, he could definitely do it. Madam Min didn't dare to take the risk at all.
The snake has a weak spot, and if it is hit, it will die. The Ninth Prince was not surprised at Madam Min's transformation at all. He sneered and his eyes met with Madam Min's. They were obviously the closest people in the world, but at this moment, there was only deep murderous intent and indifference in her.
“Empress Shengmin, you are still as timid and cowardly as ever.” The Ninth Prince spoke each word clearly, his sharp eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Feng Qingchen had no doubt that if Madam Min continued to provoke him, the Ninth Prince would definitely commit murder.
Madam Min was angry and annoyed, but as things had come to this point, she could only accept it. She glared at the Ninth Prince coldly and asked someone to untie the ropes on his body.
After landing safely, Madam Min took the handkerchief handed to her by her subordinates, wiped the dirt off her face, and no longer pretended to be a little white flower. She walked towards the main seat with great grace.
The man pretending to be the ghost king immediately stood up and gave his seat to Madam Min. Madam Min paused for a moment, and someone immediately came forward to wipe the chair and put a new cushion on it. Madam Min then sat down gracefully.
"So pretentious." Feng Qingchen couldn't help but roll his eyes.
She admitted that she had always disliked Madam Min. Thinking of the harm that Madam Min had brought to the Ninth Prince, this dislike instantly escalated into disgust.
Of course, as one of the background factors, Madam Min would not take Feng Qingchen's reaction seriously. In Madam Min's view, Feng Qingchen was just a dying person, a person who was about to die, what did she care about.
Madam Min sat on the chair, looking at the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen and the other two with an arrogant expression. She did not look weak and aggrieved at all as she did that day, which made Feng Qingchen suspect that she had recognized the wrong person.
Feng Qingchen believed that she was no match for Madam Min, so she shut up and stood beside the Ninth Prince. However, Madam Min had no intention of letting her go, and the first sentence she said was directed at her.
"Miss Feng, do you want to know what secret I told you that day?" Feng Qingchen didn't take the old matter seriously, but the Ninth Prince couldn't help but tremble. Before Madam Min could speak, the Ninth Prince said, "Release Wenqing, and I will let Liancheng live."
"What? My son, are you scared?" Madam Min glanced at him with a fierce look: "You don't even dare to recognize the name your mother gave you, and you care so much about this woman?"
Min Huiren looked at the Ninth Uncle, but pointed at Feng Qingchen: "You are protecting her like this, aren't you afraid that mother will be sad?"
"Shut up." The Ninth Prince said coldly, which made Madam Min laugh wildly.
"What do you mean?" Feng Qingchen turned his head to look at the Ninth Uncle.
The conversation between the mother and son became increasingly strange.
"Tsk tsk tsk... Miss Fengli, I really sympathize with you. If your father knew that you were with the descendants of the Lan family, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave."
Madam Min looked at Feng Qingchen as if he were an idiot. If Feng Qingchen had a weaker mental tolerance, this group of people would have questioned him loudly and insisted on getting to the bottom of things.
But Feng Qingchen's ability to endure was first-rate. Although he was confused in his heart, he did not show too much on his face. After asking a question, he stopped talking, which made Madam Min feel very bored.
At this time, the Ninth Prince just stood there without saying a word. He knew that Madam Min did not have the courage to expose his identity.
If anyone dares to reveal his identity, he will destroy Liancheng.
After talking for a long time, Feng Qingchen still didn't ask any more questions, nor did he provoke the Ninth Prince's anger, which made Madam Min very dissatisfied. She really didn't dare to do too much. If she angered the Ninth Prince, and he really destroyed Liancheng without caring about anything, she would be in a lot of trouble.
"Nine..." Madam Min opened her mouth. The Ninth Emperor thought that she would call out the word "Nine Ministers", but Madam Min paused: "If you don't have the Emperor's Sword, then hand Feng Qingchen over to me. I will give you Su Wenqing and her everything. What do you think?"
Madam Min once again put forward a condition. As long as the Ninth Prince agreed, everything could be resolved peacefully today. Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince said, "Dream on."
"Do you really want to break up with mother?" Madam Min was very dissatisfied with the Ninth Prince's arrogance: "I have given you enough opportunities."
"Mother? Are you worthy?" Seeing that Madam Min did not dare to reveal his identity, the Ninth Prince knew what Madam Min was afraid of. He took a step forward and took the initiative to say, "Release Wenqing. I will forgive all the past, and from now on, you and I will not interfere with each other."
"Su Wenqing? You don't care about the other one?" Madam Min raised her eyebrows and looked at Feng Qingchen meaningfully. The Ninth Prince's face darkened and he took another step forward, standing in front of Feng Qingchen.
"If you like the other one, I'll leave it to you. Release Su Wenqing and I'll let Liancheng go." Upon learning that Qin Baoer also fell into Madam Min's hands, the Ninth Prince guessed that something would happen to Su Wenqing and it must be Bu Jingyun's doing.
The Ninth Prince's attitude towards Qin Bao'er had changed from indifference to disgust. Unlike Su Wenqing, the Ninth Prince believed that all this was Qin Bao'er's fault. If it weren't for Qin Bao'er, how could Bu Jingyun betray him?
"Is this your sincerity? You want me to let him go just because of such a small benefit? How can this be justified? I worked so hard to capture him." Madam Min suddenly softened her attitude and acted as if she was willing to negotiate, which made Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince feel that something was wrong.
"Be careful, there might be fraud." Feng Qingchen couldn't help but remind her. She had suffered several losses at the hands of Madam Min.
"Yeah." The Ninth Prince was both happy and ashamed of his complete reliance on Feng Qingchen.
"What do you want?" The Ninth Prince asked generously. If there are conditions to be proposed, then it will be easy to deal with.
"Kyushu map." Madam Min said simply: "Don't tell me you don't know what that is. I gave you two."
Hiding on the cliff, watching the development of the situation with cold eyes, the ghost king's eyes lit up, Kyushu map, Emperor's sword. It seems that the son of the former Ming princess is not simple. The ghost king's eyes lit up, ready to make a move...
"So what if you know?" This time, the Ninth Prince did not deny it, and it was useless to deny it.
"Give me all the maps in your hand. I know you have quite a few of them." Madam Min threatened the Ninth Prince again.
Madam Min didn't care whether she could trick the Ninth Prince into revealing his true intentions. She only wanted the Ghost King hiding in the dark to know that the Ninth Prince had the map of Kyushu and even the Emperor's Sword.
Killing with a borrowed knife. She had been picking this knife for a long time, waiting for this moment to come into play.
"If you can't collect all nine maps, it's useless for you to get them." The Ninth Prince had a calm face. When Madam Min didn't notice, the distance between him and Madam Min was shortened.
Feng Qingchen and Xuan Shaoqi, who had been in the background without saying a word, had already stood in the right position, ready to wait for the Ninth Emperor's uncle to rush out to save people, and to block the attacks from both sides for the Ninth Emperor's uncle...
