Qu Qingxi looked closely and realized that this was the personal seal of Zhou Wenli that she had replaced.
How did this end up in He Liufeng's hands?
Could it be that after I left, He Liufeng went and retrieved the seal I had replaced?
Seeing that Qu Qingxi was completely stunned when she saw what he had taken out, He Liufeng couldn't help but smile, "What's wrong, are you surprised?"
Qu Qingxi didn't speak, but instead took out the real seal from her sleeve and handed it to He Liufeng, saying, "Take a look at this."
He Liufeng was stunned when he saw the seal in Qu Qingxi's hand. His smile froze. He carefully examined the two seals and quickly noticed the difference between them.
"Where did you get this seal?" He Liufeng looked at Qu Qingxi in disbelief. "Your seal is the real one? How did you get it?"
"I just got back from Zhou Wenli's place." Qu Qingxi blinked.
He Liufeng looked at the seal he had brought back in disbelief. After examining it closely, he realized that the seal was too realistic. In the emergency, he had only glanced at it before taking it away. Now, upon closer inspection, he could see the difference between the two.
"So, you just changed the seal, and I went over and then took the seal you took off?" He Liufeng looked at Qu Qingxi and quickly guessed the truth.
"That should be it." Qu Qingxi nodded. She really hadn't expected that He Liufeng would replace the fake seal she made after she left, resulting in a big misunderstanding between the two of them.
"My husband and I are truly in sync," He Liufeng couldn't help but chuckle.
"So, you sent people to search Zhou Wenli's courtyard?"
"Yes, I specifically asked them to stall for time. On the surface, they were treating their injuries here, but in reality, they were using this time to get the seal and create an opportunity for me to be absent."
"By the way, why would Zhou Wenli break into prison for no reason?" This was the question that Qu Qingxi was most curious about. If it had been the Xu family who broke into prison today, Qu Qingxi could understand it.
It seems highly unusual for Zhou Wenli, a prince of the Zhou Kingdom, to risk his life to save Xu Xingfeng.
"It might not be a prison break; perhaps it's murder to silence them?" He Liufeng said meaningfully, looking at Qu Qingxi.
"Kill him to silence him? Why?" Qu Qingxi asked in surprise. Didn't Zhou Wenli have a partnership with the Xu family? Why would he kill someone instead of rescuing them?
"Perhaps Xu Xingfeng knows something that could be fatal to Zhou Wenli." He Liufeng wasn't really sure either, but he was certain that Zhou Wenli was going to the prison tonight.
He originally thought Zhou Wenli was going to rescue Xu Xingfeng, but when he was observing from the shadows, he discovered that Zhou Wenli was ostensibly rescuing Xu Xingfeng, but actually wanted to take the opportunity to kill him.
"Alright, let's not think about that for now. Now that we have the seal, let's finish the letter quickly." Qu Qingxi wasn't sure if Zhou Wenli would discover that her seal was fake. If he found out that the seal was fake, he might doubt the authenticity of the letter.
"Yes, I've already had the letter written. It's in the second drawer of that table over there." He Liufeng pointed to the table.
Qu Qingxi took the seal and walked over. She found the letter and looked at the two almost identical letters. Following the position of the real letter, Qu Qingxi stamped the fake letter with the seal and then smiled with satisfaction.
Now, as long as I deliver this letter to Zhou Wenli, I will be able to find out the truth about my background.
After preparing the seal, Qu Qingxi took it and prepared to return it to Zhou Wenli.
Although the seal can still be used for many things, it needs to be returned first to avoid any discovery that might prevent her from learning the truth.
“I’ll go with you.” Although Qu Qingxi was very skilled, He Liufeng couldn’t help but worry and was reluctant to let Qu Qingxi go there alone.
He Liufeng knew all too well how cunning Zhou Wenli was. Just now, someone had attracted Zhou Wenli's attention, but now that no one was bothering him, it would be somewhat unsafe if Zhou Wenli discovered that Qu Qingxi was there.
Seeing He Liufeng's worried expression, Qu Qingxi could only nod. There was one more person on either side, so it didn't matter.
They told Ling Mu to stand guard at the door and not let anyone in before the two of them changed their clothes and left.
The candles were still lit in Zhou Wenli's room, but it was unclear whether he had rested. He Liufeng and Qu Qingxi exchanged a glance and headed towards Zhou Wenli's room.
Gently push open the window and look inside, but don't see anyone; Zhou Wenli isn't inside.
He Liufeng flipped it over, and the fake seal was still in its original place, untouched. He Liufeng replaced the seal and flipped it out again.
However, the two of them did not leave.
Zhou Wenli is clearly injured, so why isn't he resting in his room? What is he doing? Is there anything more important than his own health?
As the two were thinking, they suddenly heard a faint sound coming from the courtyard. They concealed themselves, but no one came over.
The two walked over there, and only when they got closer did they realize that this was the same room that Qu Qingxi had found strange before, the room with no windows but only a door.
The two exchanged a glance, and He Liufeng, carrying Qu Qingxi, flew onto the roof. They lifted the roof tiles and looked inside. A candle was lit, and the room was not brightly lit, but it was still clear that the room was empty except for a table and a candle on the table. There was nothing else.
However, there was a hole in the wall near the west side. The hole was about one meter high, and a faint light was coming out of it, which looked a little eerie.
Qu Qingxi stared at the hole inside, and began to speculate.
Could it be that the Miao person is hiding in this cave?
Or is there some other purpose to this cave, or perhaps someone is being held inside?
Qu Qingxi leaned close to He Liufeng's ear and whispered, "Want to go in and take a look?" Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to go in and see what's going on.
"Wait a little longer. Zhou Wenli should be inside now. We'll go in after he comes out." He Liufeng nodded, as he had the same idea.
However, Zhou Wenli is not in the room at the moment, so there are some risks involved in them going in now.
He Liufeng guessed correctly; Zhou Wenli was indeed in this room at that moment.
The two waited for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and sure enough, they saw Zhou Wenli leading people out from inside. Zhou Wenli walked in front, followed by a person carrying a plate.
