Chapter 430 Be Careful of People Around You
"Do you think I will tell you?" The Queen still looked proud.
Nan Jiao was not surprised to hear this. She knew that she would be as tight-lipped as Mu and would not say anything. "I know it was given by someone from Wei."
The queen looked at her without saying a word.
"It seems that I guessed right. You are really too stupid. Wei State is just using you to stir up civil unrest in Qin State. You don't really think that Wei State will help you seize the throne, do you?"
Nan Jiao's face was filled with mockery and contempt.
What a short-sighted and small-minded woman she is. The only thing in her eyes is the position of the emperor. Does she think the throne is so easy to sit on and that she can sit back and relax once she gets it?
It is not easy to manage and govern a country well.
The queen sneered, "You don't need to sow discord here."
Nan Jiao smiled, "It seems to be the Wei Kingdom. I just said that to test it, but it turned out to be the same as I guessed."
Queen: “…”
"Where is the secret passage?" Nan Jiao asked. Zhan Beiheng had already taken people to Yongfu Palace to look for it, but she felt that the secret passage might not be there.
"Do you think I will tell you?" The Queen had a half-smile on her face.
"It doesn't matter if you don't tell us. We will find it eventually. After all, if you can find it, so can we." Nan Jiao said disdainfully. The secret passage was definitely not dug by the Queen.
She just picked up a loophole.
How could she have dug out a secret passage leading out of the capital city when she had only been in the palace for a short time?
The queen smiled and said, "Jiang Nanjiao, I have to say you are very smart. No wonder I lost to you. But it doesn't matter. We will all die in the end anyway."
It's just a matter of dying sooner or later.
"If you want Zhan Qingheng to have an easier time, you'd better explain what you need to say. Otherwise, I can't guarantee whether he can make it to the border in the end, and how much suffering he will suffer on the way."
Nan Jiao said meaningfully.
She is gambling.
The gambling queen will care about Zhan Qingheng.
After all, she was willing to sacrifice everything to seize the throne for him.
"By the way, Zhan Yao will also be exiled to the frontier. Do you think she can bear being demoted to a commoner after living a life of luxury since she was a child?" Nan Jiao continued to provoke her.
Sure enough, the Queen's expression changed, and her eyes looked murderous.
Nan Jiao smiled and said, "The victorious king defeats the bandits. You didn't tell them about your rebellion because you wanted to protect them. I'll give you one day to think about it carefully."
Having said that, she turned and left.
"The secret passage is in the palace where I lived before I became the empress." The queen spoke. She had lost, and she didn't want her children to be bullied or insulted.
In the past, they were princes and princesses of noble status.
She couldn't imagine how they could endure exile, they were so young.
Heng'er's baby is about to be born.
Zhan Yao has not been betrothed yet.
Nan Jiao stopped and turned to look at her, "Who did Wei Guo contact?"
"I have never seen his true face. He gave me the medicine and said it could damage the brain nerves and cause people to have hallucinations and become unconscious." The queen said slowly.
"You don't even know who the other party is, and you dare to cooperate?" Nan Jiao couldn't help rolling her eyes. It seemed that she was blinded by power and status.
Perhaps her elder brother posed a great threat to her, so she took the risk.
"He must have a very high status in Wei State, otherwise why would I have any contact with him?" the queen said coldly.
Nan Jiao said contemptuously: "What's wrong with you associating with him? Now that you have become a prisoner, will he come to save you? He is just using you to cause chaos in Qin."
It's so stupid!
The queen pursed her lips and said nothing.
"The Grand Princess of Miaojiang told you about the Life and Death Pig, right?" Nan Jiao asked after thinking about this.
"Yes." The queen admitted generously.
"What else do you want to recruit? The more you recruit, the better off Zhan Qingheng and Zhan Yao will be. Otherwise, they will suffer a fate worse than death." Nan Jiao threatened.
The queen glared at her angrily, then suddenly smiled. "I have nothing else to say, but I still want to remind you to be careful of the people around you."
At the end, she laughed like crazy.
Nan Jiao narrowed her eyes dangerously.
The people around her?
After leaving the cold palace, Nan Jiao went to look for Zhan Beiheng, but when she arrived at Yongfu Palace, he was not there. After asking the people in the palace, she found out that he had gone to the palace where the queen used to live.
When she arrived, Zhan Beiheng and his men were conducting a thorough search.
After the queen moved out, the palace became empty with no other concubines living there.
Zhan Beiheng saw Nan Jiao coming and strode towards her, "Does she have any tricks?"
"She said the entrance to the secret passage is here, but the secret passage was not dug by her. It should have been dug by someone in the past, and she happened to live here and discovered it." Nan Jiao said slowly.
"Where is the agency?"
"Under the bed in the inner sanctum."
Zhan Beiheng immediately arranged for the guards to move the bed away. After searching for a while, he actually found a switch and quickly opened the ground.
A passage appeared in everyone's sight.
The guards went down immediately.
"Shall we go down and take a look too?" Nan Jiao looked at Zhan Beiheng.
"Let them explore. There shouldn't be any hidden weapons or mechanisms in the secret passage." Zhan Beiheng said, holding her hand.
Nan Jiao nodded.
Then he told him about the Queen's contact with the State of Wei.
"It's Wei State again." Zhan Beiheng frowned. He had never taken Wei State seriously.
One is Wei Guoxiao.
Second, the State of Wei did not dare to cause trouble, although it had once engaged in minor incidents.
"It seems we have to find an opportunity to go to Wei State." Nan Jiao looked thoughtful. She thought of the medicine man and the village on Penglai Island.
Plus the medicine in the Queen's hand.
These all seem to be related, all related to medicine.
She couldn't help but think of someone.
Not only was he great at disguise, he also knew medicine, so they hit it off right away. Perhaps it was because she thought all doctors were kind.
Only then will she open her heart to him and regard him as a trusted elder.
Zhan Beiheng held her hand tightly and said, "Before going to Wei, let's go to Miaojiang first."
Listen to the Queen's words.
He would rather they get rid of the Life and Death Pig first.
"Okay." Nan Jiao knew what he was thinking. As long as Wei State did not take any action for the time being, they could indeed go to Miaojiang. After all, there was still a Grand Duke to be resolved.
Otherwise this woman will definitely cause trouble.
Because the secret passage was quite long, the guards who went down to explore the way did not return until evening.
There is no mechanism in the secret passage.
Very smooth.
It can lead to outside the capital.
Zhan Beiheng immediately gave orders to seal the other end of the secret passage so that people could no longer pass through it freely, but he did not seal it completely.
Just in case you need it in the future.
Just make sure outsiders can't open it.
After arranging everything.
Zhan Beiheng pulled Nan Jiao away. Not long after they walked away, they heard a noisy sound coming from afar, followed by someone shouting that there was a fire.
The two immediately ran in that direction.
By the time they arrived at the cold palace, the fire was already very big, with thick smoke billowing and the fire was burning fiercely.
"It's the palace where she stays." Nan Jiao narrowed her eyes. Did the queen choose to burn herself to death?
