Nie Xinyao's movements were very fast, Qingchen just said goodbye to her, returned to the courtyard with the front foot, and the person who sent the topographic map with the back foot arrived.

Qingchen took the topographical map, sent the man, and returned to the room to take a closer look.

She guessed correctly, Nie Xinyao, as the sixth empress of southern Xinjiang, may eventually become the empress in the future, so naturally she will not allow anything to be beyond her control, so there will definitely be spies in the regent palace, and it is enough to draw such a detailed map.

This topographic map is the former Regent's Palace, whether it is the courtyard where the masters of the Regent's Mansion lived, or where other people lived, or the study, and even the secret room has a certain mark, as well as the sentry settings of the palace guards, as well as the time and route of night patrols.

It's just that if these things were left in the past, they would have been a good thing, but now, the Regent's Mansion has been defeated, and even if there are guards, it is the guards sent there by the Empress in order to put the regent under house arrest.

Qingchen called on the handshake to take Yu together, and after memorizing this picture, he destroyed it, so that others could not notice the clues.

Zhan Yu thought that Qingchen would wait until dark to act, but he didn't expect that Qingchen would disguise herself and take her out in the evening.

The two of them went around the Regent's Palace, observing the movements around the Regent's Palace, to see if there were anyone with the same purpose as them, and to see if there were any "familiar" people who appeared.

Hold Yu didn't know what Qingchen wanted to do, just followed Qingchen and followed her orders.

In just half an hour, the two of them inquired about the situation around the Regent's Palace, and also found the best geographical location, so that they could clearly see the situation near the Regent's Palace, and at the same time, they could also take care of the Regent's Palace.

"We will stay here, if my expectations are correct, Nie Xinrou will not find out the whereabouts of the box, and will definitely send someone to the Regent's Mansion to inquire about the situation, and we will wait here for the rabbit." Qingchen and Zhiyu stayed in this best position, acting separately, monitoring the situation in the middle and outside the mansion respectively.

"It turns out that the girl is thinking like this, and I am still speculating that the Regent's Mansion is no longer valuable, why does the girl have to go to the trouble of coming over. Grip Yu nodded and said clearly.

"No, the Regent's Mansion is still valuable, and its greatest value is not these gold and silver treasures on the surface, nor the military power and power in the hands of the regent in the past, but it can lure out those who hide in the shadows with ulterior motives, Nie Xinrou is one of them. Qingchen explained.

Now, among the princesses, except for Nie Xinyao, only Nie Xinrou has won the favor of the empress, plus Nie Xinrou is cautious and cautious, and there is nothing wrong with it, she can't grasp any handle at all, so she can only find Nie Xinrou's weakness through others, and plot everywhere to save Xiao Yi from Nie Xinrou's hands.

Qingchen and Zhiyu didn't wait too long, maybe someone was too anxious, and they quickly waited for those with ulterior motives.

The sky has just darkened, night falls, and the number of people around the Regent's Mansion is gradually decreasing, in the past, when the Regent's Mansion was full of people, it was naturally lively here, but now, the trees are falling and scattered, and the Regent has lost power, and there are naturally no opportunistic people here, who want to find an opportunity to tie up with the Regent.

Soon, there were no extra people around, only Qingchen and Zhiyu were hidden in the dark, and when no one saw them, they took off the outer clothes they were wearing when they went out, revealing the night clothes they were wearing inside, blending in with the dark night, and if you don't look carefully, you won't find it at all.

Two figures broke in from the weak area in the northwest corner of the Regent's Palace, avoided the guards arranged here by the Empress, and entered the Regent's Mansion with ease.

And all this fell in Qingchen's eyes, a grim smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she secretly said in her heart: It's finally here.

"Girl, those two ......" Zhanyu obviously saw it too, so he pointed in that direction and spoke.

"Look in the direction they are going, it should be the courtyard where the regent lives, let's go over and have a look, maybe we can find something, remember to be careful, don't startle the snake. Qingchen lowered his voice and said so, and then walked towards the courtyard where the regent lived, one after the other.

The two men were obviously also very familiar with the Regent's mansion, and they found the room where the regent lived without much difficulty, only to see that the candles were lit up in the room, and the regent was obviously not resting.

There was not a single servant in the courtyard, which was in stark contrast to the glamour of the Regent's Mansion in the past, and it looked very depressed, perhaps for the Regent, it should have been a time to enjoy honor, but it was so miserable and sad.

"I knew you were coming, why? Now that I'm suspicious of that thing, I still haven't been able to find out something?" the Regent's voice with a hint of sarcasm came clearly into Qingchen's ears.

Sure enough, there's something wrong with the box!

Qingchen thought in his heart, if it weren't for this, the regent would not have said such a thing at this time, according to the regent's words, one of the two people inside must be Nie Xinrou.

"Uncle Wang, you are trapped here now, it's useless to keep the secret of that box, it's better for us to cooperate, you tell me what's wrong with that box, I'll help you get out of here, how about it?" Nie Xinrou's voice changed from the gentleness of the past, and it seemed that the regent couldn't turn up any storms, so he got straight to the point.

"You are really not an ordinary person, and you are usually gentle and submissive, all of which are pretended. The regent looked at the woman in black in front of him and said, "That's right, who is good at stubble in this royal family? ”

"Your Highness is not here to listen to your nonsense, about that box, do you say it or not?" Nie Xinrou didn't speak, but the Baolian beside her spoke, and a sword was placed on the regent's neck, threatening.

"Why? This is your attitude of begging? Let me tell you, that box was obtained with great pain, and it took a lot of effort to crack the secret on it, and no one in the whole of southern Xinjiang knows what it represents except me, and if you are willing, you can kill me." "The Lord Regent is not afraid.

"Pauline, step aside. Nie Xinrou drank away from the servant girl beside her, and then said to the regent, "Uncle Wang, I have no intention of hurting you, and I don't want your life, I just want to know why you are so nervous about that box." It's better for us to cooperate, I get what I want, and what Uncle Wang wants, I will definitely go all out. ”

"Huh. Nie Xinrou, do you think I'll believe you? After telling you the secret of the box, will you keep me?" said the regent, "I can see it, in terms of means and scheming, none of them are as good as you, you are a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, usually it looks harmless, but in fact it is the most dangerous." I'm sure that if I reveal my secrets today, the next moment, your handmaiden's sword will not hesitate to cut through my neck. ”

"Uncle Wang, do you think you have any other choice? That box was snatched away by Yu Tianqi, right? Now that the mother emperor has ordered the whole country to want Yu Tianqi, even if he has the ability, he won't be able to hide for long, and when I find the box, I will naturally ask someone to crack the secret, and at that time, you will have no use value at all." Nie Xinrou said, "So, you might as well choose to cooperate with me, and I will let you live." ”

"The box was snatched away by Yu Tianqi?" the regent asked in surprise, then glanced at Nie Xinrou, and seemed to remember something in his mind, and then said, "Hahaha, Nie Xinrou, I originally thought that the box was in your hands, but I didn't expect you to get that kind of thing, in that case, what else do you threaten me? I won't say it today, and you can't help me." ”

"Uncle Wang, Yu Tianqi is good at raising Gu, but Uncle Wang hasn't tasted the taste of Gu worms drilling on his body, I have a treasure here, Uncle Wang, you will definitely like it." Nie Xinrou saw that the regent was soft and hard, and she was angry in her heart, and then gave Baolian a look.

Pauline quickly understood, walked behind the regent, swung her sword out, and cut the regent's clothes into pieces, revealing the skin behind her back.

"What do you want to do?" asked the Regent.

"The worms in my hands like fresh blood the most, and they must be freshly cut wounds, since Uncle Wang refuses to cooperate, then I will let my worms come to play with Uncle Wang. Nie Xinrou smiled evilly, and then instructed Baolian, "What are you doing in a daze, do it!"

Pauline nodded, and swung the long sword in her hand again, and then the tip of the sword slashed through the back of the regent, and in an instant, blood flowed everywhere, and there were many more wounds on the regent's back.

Nie Xinrou waved her palm, and the thing in her hand fell into Bao Lian's hand, Bao Lian took out a few milky white insects from the Gu box and put them on the wound on the regent's back that had just been cut, and soon, the insect was red with blood, squirming, and burrowed into the wound.

"Ahh

"The three princesses are so cruel that they would use torture to extract confessions in such a way, and the regent is her own uncle. Zhan Yu watched this scene, and couldn't help but be shocked, biting his lip, his chest heaving, and complaining.

Qingchen didn't speak, she didn't expect that when she came to the Regent's Mansion today, she would see such a scene. Sure enough, as the regent said, Nie Xinrou is a poisonous snake hidden in the shadows, her methods and scheming are unmatched, even Nie Xinyao can't compare with it, but it's a pity that her heart is not right, otherwise...... It is not impossible for this southern Xinjiang to be handed over to Nie Xinrou.

"Uncle Wang can think clearly, what is the secret of that box, do you say it or not! If you still refuse to say it, then don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings!" Nie Xinrou exuded a kind of anger all over her body, as if as long as the regent refused again, she would not hesitate to strike again.

The bug was still burrowing in the skin behind the Regent's back, sucking fresh blood, and every time it moved, it was a piercing pain, and the Regent could clearly feel some kind of mollusk squirming behind him, but Pauline's sword was on her neck, making her unable to move.

Thinking of Nie Xinrou's words, as well as the killing intent emanating from Nie Xinrou's body, the regent had no doubt that Nie Xinrou would do what he said, and after a burst of pain, he nodded forcibly, indicating that he agreed to cooperate.
