Chapter 220 The Bitter Flesh Scheme
Tu You was sent to a clinic in the city.
The person keeping watch disguised himself and went inside, only to find Tu You unconscious.
There was nothing unusual.
High fever is very dangerous, so Tu You stayed at the clinic.
After the clinic closed, Tu You, who should have been asleep, opened his eyes.
He sat up, cupped his large hand to his mouth, and whispered, "Princess!"
A dark figure jumped down from the roof beam.
Tu You immediately got out of bed with a beaming smile, "Princess, how was my performance today!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "He acted better than Long Yi."
She handed him a packet of wound medicine, saying, "It's kind of you to be willing to play this victim for me."
Tu You took the wound medicine and knelt on one knee. "Princess, please don't say that. If it weren't for the Crown Prince, I might still be a hoodlum, or perhaps I would have died in some prison. Tu You will be loyal to you for life!"
Qin Jinzhi clicked her tongue. "General Tu, you're not really suited to this kind of sentimental talk."
Tu You scratched his head. "Actually, I'm also a little unaccustomed to it."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "Get up quickly. Your men will apply the wound medicine for you tomorrow. Your injuries will heal in a few days."
After listening, Tu You thought for a moment and said, "Then it's better not to go. If it's too fast, those in the army who have ulterior motives might become suspicious."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and said, "It's nothing. No one will actually lift your clothes to see your injuries. Besides, you were already shirtless when you were executed."
Tu You was finally relieved.
"Today, many soldiers have come to visit. Among them, there must be some with ulterior motives. In the next few days, I will show more dissatisfaction with the princess and the prince. I will definitely lure out the person behind them. However, I am afraid that General Huo will be wronged for some time."
Qin Jinzhi patted his shoulder, "Uncle Huo won't mind. From the moment he returned to Beijing, I knew he would be targeted. But the person behind this is very shrewd. At this critical juncture, they've labeled Uncle Huo a mole to throw me into a panic."
Tu You also said with a serious expression: "Although I disagree with General Huo's ideas, I respect him very much, and I believe he would never betray the Zhenbei Army!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "Uncle Huo would be very pleased to hear this. You should rest well. I will send someone over every day at noon. If you need anything, just have him pass on a message to me."
Tu You replied, "Princess, you should also return to your residence soon."
Qin Jinzhi left the clinic and returned to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion.
She had just visited the Sixth Prince's residence when evidence of Huo Tingshan instructing his men to relay military messages was delivered to her.
What kind of powerful strategist did Xiao Cheng hire?
Otherwise, with his intelligence, he wouldn't have been able to prepare so thoroughly.
Could it be Consort Xian?
The virtuous concubine is quite shrewd; since that's the case, she'll give them a big gift in return.
The letter from Consort Xian has just arrived in Guanzhong.
General Yang Xian then received the report from his subordinates.
"Old Yang, a large number of bandits have suddenly appeared in Guanzhong. They came in a fierce manner and headed straight for our Guanzhong granary and armory. Although many people have been killed, a lot of grain and weapons have been stolen!"
Yang Xian slammed his fist on the table. "Are they all useless! How could an entire army of soldiers allow bandits to steal their grain and weapons!"
"Old Yang, please calm down. Those bandits numbered in the thousands, and they launched a surprise attack at night, catching our soldiers completely off guard!"
Old Yang narrowed his eyes, "Several thousand bandits?"
He focused his gaze on the letter sent by the Consort Xian.
"Pass down the order: these bandits must be wiped out completely!"
"yes!"
Yang first saw Qin Jinzhi's name on the letter.
If it really was someone sent by Qin Jinzhi.
He underestimated the Qin family girl.
Trying to force him to release the person?
Yang sneered, "She's still too green."
"Bring Chen Chi here."
Before long, a badly injured boy was thrown in front of Yang Xian.
All ten of his fingers were broken, and his eyes were so swollen he couldn't open them.
His body was covered in whip marks and branding irons.
Yang Xian sneered, "You tampered with that amulet?"
Chen Chi was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Yang Xian stared at him as if he were dead. "What are you laughing at? Is this an admission? Do you know what the consequences will be for deceiving me?"
Chen Chi stopped laughing after a while. "Yang thief, you will regret not killing me from the beginning. Now that you know there are tricks on that talisman, the princess will come to save me soon."
Yang Xian sneered, "Qin Jinzhi? Guanzhong is not the capital; there is no emperor to back her up and let her act arrogantly."
Chen Chi laughed loudly, "Yang thief, you killed my parents, I will surely kill you in the future!"
Yang Xian stroked his graying beard. "I really wanted to recruit you, but unfortunately, you can only avenge yourself in your next life."
"Guards, drag him away and tear him apart by chariots!"
Yang Xian looked at him and laughed, "I want to see how that girl will save you!"
Chen Chi just laughed loudly, "Yang thief! You will die a horrible death! The princess knows all the evil deeds you have done, and even if I die, the princess will avenge me! Yang thief, you will die a horrible death! Hahahahahaha! The princess will never let you go!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xian not only did not get angry, but instead laughed out loud, "Then I will hang your head on the city gate, and you can watch how that girl avenges you."
Chen Chi was already unconscious when he was dragged to the execution ground.
The rope was put around the neck and limbs.
As the carriage began to travel in five directions, Chen Chi awoke in excruciating pain.
He immediately cried out, "Stop! I am..."
Before he could finish speaking, his head had already been ripped from his body.
His eyes were fixed intently on him.
He truly died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
A soldier arrived at the execution ground and said, "Old Yang said that this man intended to assassinate someone and was wicked. His head is to be hung on the city gate as a warning, and his body is to be fed to the dogs!"
Chen Chi's head was hung above the city gate and swayed in the wind.
His eyes were fixed on the direction of the capital.
On this day, Qin Jinzhi finished her shift, and Li Mama, the empress's attendant, unexpectedly appeared at the entrance of the Thousand Birds Bureau.
Qin Jinzhi hurried forward, "Granny Li, what brings you here? What happened to the Empress Dowager?"
Granny Li bowed and said, "Princess, Feiyan has gone missing!"
Qin Jinzhi frowned. "Feiyan is missing? How is that possible?"
Granny Li hurriedly said, "The Empress sent people to search the entire palace, but there was no trace of Feiyan."
Qin Jinzhi said with a serious expression, "I'll go back to the palace with you, Granny."
In a small courtyard in the capital, the entire courtyard was filled with experts.
Inside the room, Feiyan's hands and feet were bound, and her mouth was also tied with silk.
A woman walked in.
Feiyan immediately looked at her and struggled to make whimpering sounds.
The woman stepped forward and said, "We won't hurt you. Do you know how many years we've been searching for you? The people of Jin are so despicable, actually making you a slave in the palace! We will definitely avenge you!"
After speaking, the woman knelt down on one knee.
"Princess, we've finally found you!"
