Chapter 1588: The aftermath (3)

Don’t speak in such a weird tone … Xu Qi ‘an said unhappily, ”

“After all, Yongxing is her older brother.”

Huaiqing nodded.

“Thus leaving him alive is the best explanation to Lin ‘an. After crying for a few days, she will come around.”

Xu Qi ‘an felt that he had lost out and said unhappily, ”

“Is this the attitude you have when you’re helping me?”

Huaiqing put down his pen and looked at him expressionlessly.

“Yongxing has already abdicated, so the marriage he gave is no longer valid. After I ascend to the throne, I will naturally help Xu yinluo break off the engagement.

“You don’t need to worry about appeasing Lin ‘an.”

“My second uncle has already agreed. How can I cancel it?” Xu Qi ‘an shook his head.

“If bengong says it’s fine, then it’s fine.” Huaiqing was unexpectedly overbearing, as if he had to break off the engagement.

“Your Highness, you should worry about the matter at hand!”

Xu Qi ‘an cupped his hands and left the Imperial study. He did not go to the harem, but turned around and left the palace, heading for the night watchman’s Yamen.

In the Imperial study, huaiqing bit his lip and snorted coldly.

..

He rode on the little mare and returned to the watchman’s Yamen. Under song tingfeng’s lead, he went to the dungeon.

The jailer opened the iron door leading to the underground. Song tingfeng walked in front. When he passed by the interrogation room, he asked, ”

“Ningyan, every time I see these strange torture devices, I feel like I’ve forgotten something.”

Xu Qi ‘an was not familiar with the dungeon and the torture instruments, so he did not pay attention to song tingfeng’s words.

“You can go to the brothel later, but you have to disguise yourself first.”

we’ll talk about it when we’re free. We don’t have time to go to the brothel now.

As the two of them conversed, they quickly arrived at the prison where the emissaries from the cloud Prefecture were held.

Huaiqing had already ordered the execution of the accompanying guards of the diplomatic mission from Yunzhou, leaving behind the officials of the negotiation team, Ji Yuan, Xu yuanshuang, and Xu yuanhuai.

The three of them were locked together, stripped of their bright and beautiful outer clothes, and put on prison clothes.

The tendons in Xu yuanhuai’s hands and feet were broken again. He was wearing handcuffs and shackles and leaned against the wall weakly.

When they saw Xu Qi ‘an open the cell door and enter, the three of them had different reactions.

Ji Yuan frowned and took a step back.

Xu yuanhuai looked up at him and then turned his head away with a cold face.

“W-what are you doing here …”

Xu yuanshuang’s feelings toward her big brother were much more complicated. She had been instilled with hostility since she was young, and she felt pity for her mother. She respected her big brother as a younger sister, and she also felt helpless about her own master.

She couldn’t even tell what kind of feelings she had for her brother.

why did Xu Pingfeng send you two to the capital? to disgust me or to increase Ji Yuan’s fault tolerance? ”

Xu Qi ‘an glared at them coldly.

Xu yuanshuang lowered her head and whispered, ”

“I think it’s a combination of both.”

Xu Qi ‘an looked at the two of them and smiled.

“It seems that they are regarded as ants that can be abandoned at will. You’re really trash, you don’t even have any value.”

Xu yuanhuai clenched his fists, but the tendons in his hands were broken, so he could not even clench them.

Xu yuanshuang felt wronged and ashamed. She lowered her head.

since you’re already in the capital, don’t think about leaving. This place isn’t suitable for you. Xu Qi ‘an turned to look at song tingfeng, ”

“Move them to the underground of the stargazing tower.”

Song tingfeng nodded.

“Have you interrogated that kid?” Xu Qi ‘an looked at Ji Yuan, who was leaning against the wall.

I’ve asked the astrologer of the Directorate of Celestials about it. The content is confidential, so I haven’t seen it. After song tingfeng finished, he looked at Xu yuanshuang and said, ”

you’re such a pretty little girl. Don’t send her off. Ningyan, take her home and be your concubine.

He didn’t know about Xu Qi ‘an’s background, nor his grudge with Yunzhou.

In the future. if there was. chance, he could bring her home and let second uncle meet them. At the same time. he could also see who was more powerful between his younger sister and cousin … Xu Qi ‘an walked in front of Ji Yuan and looked down at him.

“You’re ranked ninth among your useless brothers?”

Ji Yuan wasn’t angry at all. He smiled.

“Ji Yuan greets cousin.”

After being locked up in the night watchman’s dungeon, Ji Yuan quickly calmed down. After a simple analysis, he believed that Xu Qi ‘an had some brains. Although he had taken the opportunity to launch a coup and promoted a woman to power, Xu Qi ‘an did not kill him, which meant that he still had some value in his heart.

He might be using him to negotiate with Yunzhou.

“Pa!”

Xu Qi ‘an slapped him in the face.

Ji Yuan was a weak scholar, so how could he withstand it? he was thrown out like a broken sandbag. His ears were ringing, and he didn’t get up for a long time.

“Stop trying to claim kinship. Who’s your cousin?” Xu Qi ‘an’s expression was calm, as if he had just swatted away a fly.

“Di son and Shu son?” He asked again.

Ji Yuan’s ears were ringing and he could not hear clearly. When he saw Xu Qi ‘an raise his hand again, his expression changed drastically. Xu yuanshuang answered for him on account of their relationship as cousins, ”

“Shu son …”

“Oh,” Xu Qi ‘an replied, and laughed awkwardly.

“You’re the son of a cheap concubine, and you’re also a worthless chess piece. How much do you think that person in the hidden Dragon City would be willing to pay to redeem you?

think about it carefully. It all depends on whether you can return to Yunzhou alive.

. A … A vulgar martial artist …’ Ji Yuan supported himself with the wall and got up with difficulty. His cheek was swollen, and he suddenly lowered his head and spat out a bloody tooth.

Xu yuanshuang said in a low voice, ”

“He is Ji Xuan’s younger brother.”

Xu Qi ‘an’s eyes brightened, and she laughed.

“Interesting!”

He slowly walked towards Ji Yuan, who was pressed against the wall in a panic. The slap just now had sapped all of his confidence.

“As expected of a brother. You’re the same as Ji Xuan, both of you lack self-awareness.”

He patted Ji Yuan’s face and walked out of the cell with song tingfeng and his siblings.

With his back against the wall, Ji Yuan clenched his fists, his face full of resentment and humiliation.

In the corridor, Xu Qi ‘an had only taken a few steps when he heard a woman’s clear voice coming from the cell on the left.

“Hey, is that Xu yinluo?”

He turned his head and saw a woman with unkempt hair and a dirty prisoner’s uniform. Her facial features were extremely beautiful.

Xu Qi ‘an was stunned for a moment.

“Who are you?”

“I’m a ‘Zhu from the thief sect, no, godly thief sect. You caught me during the struggle between heaven and man.”

The woman seemed to have suffered a huge blow as she grabbed the bars in excitement.

“Oh, it’s you. What’s the matter?” Xu Qi ‘an was confused.

“When are you going to let me out? I’ve already been locked up for nine months.” Ah Zhu’s tone was excited.

Xu Qian looked at song tingfeng.

“What should we do with this woman?”

Song tingfeng pouted.

“For a famous repeat offender like her, she would either be exiled, her hands cut off, or locked up until her death. Before you sent her in, didn’t you tell me to look after her well, as she will be useful in the future?”

Xu Qian said,’I almost forgot.’

Now that he was in need of manpower, he would arrange a position for her later … Xu Qi ‘an had just walked out of the dungeon when Xu yuanshuang whispered, ”

“Ji Yuan has been in secret contact with noble Consort Chen these few days.”

Imperial concubine Chen … Xu Qian nodded and turned to song tingfeng.

“Tomorrow, bring the Yun state’s diplomatic group out for a walk and give the people of the capital a surprise.”

He left the night watchman’s Yamen and parted ways with song tingfeng, who was escorting Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai to the Directorate of Celestials.

He rode his horse all the way to the Imperial Palace.

It just so happened that there was an unsolved mystery in Consort Fu’s case, and he wanted to ask noble Consort Chen personally.
