"Yes... The princess has a secret manor in Kyoto City. Usually, the servants who clean up the slop in the palace will deliver the letters to the manor... The day before yesterday, the princess received the letter from Concubine Yuan and immediately came down from Sifang Mountain..." Qin Huai did not dare to hide anything.
Ye Qianning turned to look at Sang Zhi: "It's good that the person who delivered the message to you was the eunuch from Concubine Yuan's shop."
Sang Zhi's face turned pale at this time. Concubine Yuan actually joined forces with Dong Yi to kill him.
But he still didn't believe that there was really a so-called Penglai map hidden in his eyes. It all seemed too unreal.
"I've told you everything I know. Please don't torture me anymore... just give me a quick death..." Qin Huai knew that he was going to die, but now he only wanted to be free and never wanted to see that horrible scene again.
"If you wanted Sang Zhi's eyes, you could have dug them out after taking him out of the city. Why did you bring him to Sifang Mountain and threaten me?"
"This..." Qin Huai hesitated.
"My Lord, my patience is limited." Ye Qianning looked at him coldly.
"Because... because only if the Eighth Prince voluntarily gives up his eyes can we obtain the perfect map. If the Eighth Prince is unwilling, his emotions will affect the seal. If we forcibly remove his eyes, nothing will be gained, and the Penglai Immortal Mountain Map will also disappear."
It’s true!
Ye Qianning's guess was correct. She had noticed something strange in the cave and was confused and uncertain. When she got the confirmation, she was somewhat happy.
Sang Zhi was also shocked by these words and lowered his eyes slightly.
"Okay." Ye Qianning got the information he wanted and waved slightly.
Yingge drew out her sword and stabbed it into Qin Huai's chest.
Qin Huai was already half dead, and this sword took his life instantly.
"It's dealt with."
"yes."
Yingge retracted his sword, grabbed Qin Huai's body and carried it out of the cave.
Ye Qianning turned around and looked at Sang Zhi: "You heard everything just now. No one can force you as long as you don't want to."
"Yeah." Sang Zhi nodded.
"When we return to the palace, they will definitely coax you into handing over your eyes voluntarily. Remember, you can't trust anyone, not even the emperor. Don't hand over your eyes to anyone." Ye Qianning warned.
Sang Zhi looked up at him and nodded slightly.
"Even if someone spreads false information again in the future, you must ignore it. Don't do stupid things like this again, understand."
Sang Zhi hesitated for a moment.
"Do you know?" Ye Qianning's voice became heavier.
Sang Zhi pursed his lips and whispered, "I understand."
He doesn't trust anyone except her.
"That's right. This is for your own good. As long as you don't give them your eyes, they will have to curry favor with you. Your life in the palace will change drastically in the future, and you must learn to adapt..."
Sang Zhi listened to her nagging quietly, and suddenly asked: "Will you come to the palace to accompany me often?"
"Of course, but you don't spend much time in the palace."
"Why?"
"Master said he's trying to get you back to Loushan to study. But as things stand now, if you ask me you want to go back to Loushan to study, I'll definitely agree. I'll also arrange for secret guards to protect you. No one will bully you in the future." Ye Qianning paused and said, "I won't dare let you copy the Disciple Rules anymore."
Sang Zhi was very happy to hear Lou Shan attending the class one second ago, but when he heard her words the next second, his face became serious and a little anxious: "I am willing to copy for you."
"Uh..." Ye Qianning was stunned for a moment and then chuckled.
Suddenly I remembered that Takaki was like this back then.
