This was the first time Xie Tingzhou had ever seen Ye Zhen so out of control.
In the past, her eyes always appeared calm and undisturbed.
He asked, "Do you recognize this handwriting?"
Ye Zhen nodded, and crystal tears fell.
“She is my master, Yin Jiuniang. She was a close friend of General Ye. Years ago, she was trapped in the swamp while trying to save General Ye. I always thought she had sacrificed herself…”
I never expected my master to still be alive.
Overwhelmed with excitement and joy, Ye Zhen suddenly had many thoughts.
If Master was the spy providing intelligence to Dayuan, why did the credit fall on Xie Yunzhou in the previous life?
She was disgraced and imprisoned in a dilapidated house, but her master did not appear. Given the master's affection for her, there is only one possibility.
My master has been murdered!
Ye Zhen couldn't be sure whether Xie Yunzhou was the one who harmed her.
In her previous life, Xie Yunzhou was able to take her place and receive the reward, so naturally she had to imitate her master's handwriting.
Could Xie Yunzhou alone obtain the letters stored in the Wude Division?
Ye Zhen was unsure; she thought of the benefactor behind Xie Yunzhou in her previous life.
If that's the case, even if Xie Yunzhou dies, Master will still be in danger.
Thinking of this possibility, Ye Zhen panicked even more.
She unconsciously grabbed Xie Tingzhou's wrist, "Please tell me, brother."
Ye Zhen's palms had thin calluses, and she gripped them very hard, causing Xie Tingzhou to frown slightly in pain.
Despite their small, slender hands, they possess astonishing strength.
Xie Tingzhou removed her hand.
Ye Zhen then realized what he had done.
He quickly withdrew his hand, saying, "Sorry!"
She was too hasty and lost her sense of proportion.
But Xie Tingzhou shook his head.
"I have no further information, except that she is on her way to Beijing."
Marquis Zhongyong once mentioned that Shui Wuhen entered the enemy country as a spy for General Ye's sake.
That makes sense.
But since the scout was Ye Zhen's master, Xie Yunzhou had nothing to do with it.
Furthermore, he couldn't find any connection between the mountain assassin and Xie Yunzhou.
"Regarding Xie Yunzhou, what you said earlier, is it true?"
He lowered his gaze to examine Ye Zhen closely, wanting to know if she had lied to him.
Ye Zhen understood that he was asking about Xie Yunzhou's involvement in the investigation, which she had previously revealed through Granny Feng.
She was indeed referring to events from her past life, so she nodded emphatically, "That's exactly what Granny Feng said."
And she believed that if she hadn't been reborn, things would have continued in the same way as in her previous life.
Xie Tingzhou's eyelids drooped slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
Ye Zhen then thought of something else.
My master's name is Jiu Niang. She is also acquainted with She Gu. Could the nine blinks that She Gu makes represent my master?
Did Shegu know that her master was still alive?
How did she find out? Or did her master also contact Shegu?
If that's true, then Shegu must also have a letter from her master.
Given Shegu's loyalty to Ye Wantang, she will surely inform Ye Yetang about this matter.
No wonder!
Ye Zhen has figured some things out.
No wonder the Ye family didn't lay a hand on her in the previous years, but now they're targeting her.
Ye Wantang knew perfectly well that she was an imposter, and feeling guilty, she was afraid that Ye Zhen would discover something.
Furthermore, if Master wrote to Shegu, he must have mentioned Ye Zhen, otherwise Shegu would not have hinted at Ye Zhen and Yin Jiuniang's affairs.
Ye Wantang knew that someone was protecting Ye Zhen and could become Ye Zhen's ally, so she was afraid and wanted to get rid of Ye Zhen.
If this speculation is true, then it is also possible that Ye Wantang was the one who killed her master in her previous life and helped Xie Yunzhou claim credit for someone else's work.
"Brother promised me earlier that he would visit Shegu. Would you like to come with me tonight?"
Once Shegu recovered, she was able to use the excuse of visiting Wang Shi to enter the General's Mansion again to ask Shegu about her master.
Although Xie Tingzhou didn't ask, seeing that Ye Zhen was still thinking about She Gu at this time, he guessed that She Gu must know something.
He also had something he wanted to investigate, so he stood up and said, "Let's go."
But Ye Zhen's high hopes ultimately turned into disappointment.
After knocking Shegu unconscious, Xie Tingzhou took her pulse.
The conclusion is that Shegu was indeed poisoned, and the poison was indeed brought back by Ye Jinghong from Canglang Kingdom.
However, the antidote requires the fire and earth from the Canglang Kingdom as a catalyst.
Once the soil leaves the unique terrain of Canglang, it loses its medicinal properties. To detoxify, one must take people to Canglang.
It was a harmful poison, and the antidote was so troublesome. When Ye Jinghong learned of this, he petitioned the emperor to destroy the poison.
The emperor did indeed issue the order.
Little did anyone know why Ye Wantang still had it, and now she was using it on Ye Jinghong's confidant.
"Is there really no other way?"
Ye Zhen was unwilling to accept this.
"none."
Then we can only wake up Shegu to ask, but that would expose Ye Zhen.
Her presence here in the dead of night would surely give Shegu away her martial arts skills.
Once Shegu reveals Ye Zhen's martial arts skills to Ye Wantang, Ye Zhen will lose the initiative.
If they want to take revenge and reclaim their identity in the future, it won't be so easy.
But since Master is still alive, he hasn't contacted Ye Zhen. He must be afraid of implicating her, which means that Master's current situation is not very good.
She reached out to wake Shegu, but Xie Tingzhou stopped her.
"Have you thought it through?"
Ye Zhen nodded.
Revenge is important, but Master's safety is even more important.
Xie Tingzhou pulled her out of Shegu's room, and the two of them were dressed in black when they went out.
He tied the mask around his face and looked at Ye Zhen.
But the usually quick-witted person, worried about his loved ones, was not as sharp as usual. Ye Zhen looked at Xie Tingzhou in confusion.
She didn't understand what Xie Tingzhou was going to do for a moment.
Seeing her like this, Xie Tingzhou, as if possessed, reached out and tied Ye Zhen's face mask.
"Wait here."
