Chapter 286: Who Takes Advantage of Whom
"It turns out that the water concubine has not been resurrected at all!" There was a deliberately low voice in the darkness, but Qian Fan still heard that the person was a woman, but she didn't answer, and with a wave of her hand, the entire palace of the water concubine was brightly lit.
"How so? Sometimes people can't look at the surface, you say she's dead, in fact, I can tell you that she's not dead, you say she's alive, but Concubine Shui is indeed dead," Qian Fan looked at the woman in the black nightrobe with a smile, looked at her carefully, and always felt very familiar, but couldn't remember who she was for a while.
"Where did you hide the water concubine?" The Assassin was cautious, looking around and around, only to find that there was only one person here, and he couldn't help but start thinking about how sure he could escape.
"Are you trying to figure out how to escape?" Qian Fan sat leisurely at the table opposite her, and said with a smile: "I told you, don't look at appearances, many times the safer the place is not necessarily safe. ”
"What the hell do you want?" When the female assassin heard Qianfan's words, she wasn't sure how true or false her words were, but she didn't dare to act rashly, so she slowly walked to the opposite of Qianfan and sat down, and asked in a low voice, "You can't wait here for me to chat with me, right?" ”
"If I could, I wouldn't mind chatting with you," Qian Fan looked at the assassin's eyes, feeling even more familiar, and took a sip of tea from the teacup before smiling: "If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Zun asked you to come to the Water Concubine to get the Qilin Tower, right?" ”
"How do you know about the Kirin Tower?" The female assassin narrowed her eyes, looked at her defensively, and said, "It turns out that the Qilin Pagoda is in your hands!" ”
"It's not in my hands, you should know that I am the master of the Lu family, and I still know this little thing very well, so why did you kill Concubine Shui?" Qian Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at the assassin and continued, "You were ordered to come and get the Qilin Tower, but you killed her before the thing arrived, why? ”
Qian Fan paused for a moment, and said with a smile as if he had thought of something: "Unless she recognizes who you are, and you are still someone she knows very well, and even said that she has never suspected a person, except for the lady in the palace who can see Concubine Shui and is more familiar with her, is a person from the Seven Princes' Mansion." ”
After Qian Fan said this, she suddenly turned her head, and the panic that flashed in the assassin's eyes fell into her eyes, but the female assassin quickly stabilized her mood and said indifferently, "I don't understand what you are saying." ”
"You know whether you understand or not, after the abdication of the Emperor Taishang, only Concubine Yun and Concubine Shui were left in the palace, and the others were basically dismissed from the palace, Concubine Yun Niangniang is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, do you think she will harm her son?" Qian Fan turned his head, looked at the assassin opposite with cold eyes, and said coldly: "Qin Ziqing, you are really hiding deep enough!" ”
The room suddenly fell silent, as if the two people who were still fighting each other suddenly disappeared, and it took a long time for the woman in black to breathe.
"No wonder Yuan Zun is so jealous of you and Nalan Minhao, I know that if I meet you, I may soon be recognized for my identity, but I didn't expect you to be able to guess that it was me from the death of Concubine Shui." The woman in black pulled off her towel as she spoke, and that face was indeed Qin Ziqing.
"I've been suspicious of you since Concubine Shui died, but there is no evidence," Qian Fan looked at Qin Ziqing and asked with a little puzzlement: "Qin Ziqing, now it's only ten days before Xiao Qi ascends the throne, and then you will become the queen, don't you know how many women want to sit in that position, why do you bother to work for Yuanzun?" ”
"Yuan Zun is my master, I can't disobey my master's orders," Qin Ziqing seemed to be helpless, and said calmly: "When I was just born, my body was relatively weak, including my father thought that I would not survive, but the master happened to pass by there, took me away, and did not send me back until I was ten years old. ”
"Has Yuan Zun collected a lot of children like you who are not in good health?" When Qian Fan heard Qin Ziqing's words, he couldn't help asking, "What if the child can't survive?" ”
"No one will not survive, only be killed," Qin Ziqing seemed unwilling to recall that past, and said with sadness: "We children are born weak, and after being taken away by the master, we will be well raised until we are four years old, and then there will be the first fight, we were starved for ten days, and then we were told that there was only food for three people, and only those who survived could eat." ”
Qin Ziqing lowered his eyes, and his shoulders trembled as if he couldn't control his emotions at all, "At first, they were still hesitating, but they were too hungry, so those people began to grab food like crazy, fighting for food, and in the end, only three people remained." ”
"You killed a lot of people?" Qian Fan frowned, and finally understood why there were so many people in the world who would be loyal to Yuan Zun, it turned out that he had been cultivating dead soldiers since a very early age, and the children he took away were not of any class, so that those who survived would become the best secret stake when they were sent back.
"It's not much, because there is a boy in it who is older and always protects me, so I survived," Qin Ziqing suddenly laughed and said: "But in the end, I killed him, and the master said that if I don't kill him, then I will die, he took my hand and stabbed the sword into his heart." ”
"You haven't been discovered all these years, hasn't Yuan Zun ever asked you to find out anything?" Qian Fan looked at Qin Ziqing, she was a little surprised by her cooperation, shouldn't she kill herself immediately?
"No, Master, that person is very calm, he will always arrange everyone according to each plan to ensure that everyone will get the maximum use value," Qin Ziqing sat across the table, looked at Qian Fan with dim eyes and said, "You set up such a game just to catch me, do you plan to hand me over to your husband?" ”
"Qin Ziqing, do you love Xiao Qi?" Qian Fan lowered his eyes and looked at his teacup, and suddenly asked such a sentence.
"I never had the luxury of marrying the emperor, but when I actually married him, I felt like a dream," mentioning Luo Langkong, Qin Ziqing's face showed a gentle look, "I have been praying that Master can forget my existence like this, so that I can stay by the emperor's side for a long time, but that is just a luxury." ”
"If your master asks you to kill Xiao Qi, will you do it?" Qian Fan raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ziqing and said, "Have you thought about this question?" ”
"I've thought about it, but I definitely can't do it," Qin Ziqing smiled bitterly and said: "It was only when I fell in love with the emperor that I understood the feelings of that young man who protected me back then, and would rather die than let the other party suffer the slightest injury." ”
"But this time you did it to Concubine Shui, do you think the emperor would still believe you if he knew this?" Qian Fan didn't seem to believe Qin Ziqing's words, and said with a light smile: "Yuan Zun asked you to kill Concubine Shui, you said that the master's order is difficult to disobey, so if he asks you to kill Luo Langkong, can you disobey the master's order?" ”
"The emperor is different from Concubine Shui, Concubine Shui has nothing to do with me, I killed her just to prevent my secret from leaking," Qin Ziqing shook his head, seemingly disagreeing with Qianfan's words.
"But Yuanzun is going to deal with the emperor now, are you willing to help the emperor deal with Yuanzun?" Qian Fan turned his head and looked at Qin Ziqing steadily, as if waiting for her answer.
"I can!" Qin Ziqing immediately nodded in response: "As long as I can make the emperor safe, I can do anything!" ”
"Then you go back, tonight's incident should have never happened," Qian Fan smiled and patted her on the shoulder and said, "I hope we can protect Laurangkong together in the future." ”
"You ......" Qin Ziqing looked at Qian Fan and turned away, it seemed a little incredulous, she really couldn't believe that Qian Fan let her go so easily, but as long as the emperor didn't know that it was her, then why wouldn't she?
So Qin Ziqing put on a scarf and immediately disappeared into the night silently, as if he had never appeared here.
When Qin Ziqing left, Nalan Minhao and Qian Fan walked slowly from the end of the corridor, and not far away was the Shenji Battalion that had been guarding them.
"How's the ink going along that side?" Qian Fan looked at Nalan Minhao and asked, "No one noticed that the person who died was not her, right?" ”
It turned out that as early as when Qin Ziqing went to deal with Concubine Shui, Mo Yan had already left there, and the one who died was just a stand-in, and this stand-in was still Yuanzun's person.
"Of course not, the person has already been sent away, you promised her that she would let her go after Luo Langyu's death, and now it can be regarded as a complete fate, and Qin Ziqing can be regarded as a crooked fight to help you." Nalan Minhao smiled and said, "Why did you let her go?" ”
"Jiang Buyi took Jiang Yige to my brother's place, and sent me news that they had killed more than a dozen assassins recently, all of them for Leng Yu and Shuang'er," Qian Fan frowned and said, "Yuan Zun seems to want to contain our energy, so it's better to keep Qin Ziqing to find out the other hidden stakes, we don't have so much time to find them one by one." ”
"Xiao Qi sometimes stays at her place overnight, what if she is not good for Xiao Qi?" After listening to Qianfan's words, Nalan Minhao nodded in agreement, and then asked, "When Xiao Qi is defenseless, won't he die?" ”
"Then you tell him, people like Qin Ziqing have been trained since childhood, and they are definitely not the best candidates in the world," Qian Fan thought about it before shaking his head and said: "Xiao Qi is the future emperor, so he will naturally accept concubines and reproduce heirs, but Qin Ziqing is narrow-minded, and if he attacks those concubines at that time, Xiao Qi will be unable to prevent it." ”
"You don't even reject Xiao Qiguang's concubine?" Nalan Minhao came up curiously and asked with a smile: "Fan'er, if I have a few concubines, will you do something to them like Qin Ziqing?" ”
"Of course not, how could I do it to those innocent women?" Qian Fan suddenly smiled at Nalan Minhao, that smile was really upside down, but in Nalan Minhao's eyes, it was simply a smile of death, and sure enough, before he could change his words, Qian Fan left a fluttering sentence and turned away.
"I'll just castrate you."
