Chapter 196: I Will Come for You All My Life (192)
The cells on the Western Region Assassin's side were extremely quiet.
There was no movement when Xia Lu Ning came over, only the three younger assassins who had taken the antidote had a slight light in their eyes.
"Why, you have nothing to say after being locked up for a day?"
The Western Region Assassin remained indifferent.
The smile on Xia Lu Ning's face suddenly disappeared: "Haha. It seems that I am too kind. I think it should be easy to destroy a small Western Region." After saying that, he left without mercy.
The little assassins became anxious.
Although it sounds a bit unauthentic.
But they were orphans, and now that they have been cured of the poison and have the ability to support themselves, they naturally want to live a normal life.
It's not like I haven't thought about the fact that such betrayal would lead to me being eliminated by the people above me.
I just want to experience what normal life is like.
Even just a few days is fine.
Looking at the disappearing figure, tears suddenly fell from several people's eyes.
As if all hope was dashed.
Looking at their cowardly appearance, Qiao Zhanshu frowned even more, but he was also a little shaken in his heart.
In fact, he really doesn't care how the Donglan people treat them.
He no longer has any feelings for people from the Western Regions.
I just intentionally or unintentionally ignored the fact that there are also good people in the Western Regions who want to live a good life. They are innocent.
It was not until he was captured this time and saw the eagerness of those little assassins that he slowly recalled those people from the Western Regions who had been kind to him.
And, they are all innocent.
But when the prince from Donglan came to ask him just now, he hadn't figured out what to say.
No matter what, we must fight for some benefits for those good people.
If the result is escaping from the wolf's den and falling into the tiger's den, he would rather not take action.
But they don't seem to have any chips to offer.
How to negotiate without bargaining chips?
Xia Luning left the Western Region Assassin's cell and turned to go to the Grand Marshal Shen Bairou.
When the general saw her, he quickly stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed to her respectfully: "King Ning."
"Master Taiwei, do you admit your guilt?"
Shen Bairou immediately knelt down in fear and trepidation: "Please forgive my ignorance. I don't know what the prince is talking about. Please give me some advice!"
Xia Luning's voice was a little more dignified: "You really don't know!"
The threat frightened Shen Bairou so much that she lowered her head even lower: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I really don't know."
"You're still trying to make excuses! How can you explain it in the secret room of your house?! Don't tell me you don't know!?"
Shen Bairou was sweating profusely, and said with trembling legs: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. Do you believe me?" Oh my God, she really didn't know! There was a secret room in her own house?
"Heh~ Commander Shen, I'm a little curious, how did you manage to hold on to the position of Commander for so many years?"
Shen Bairou suddenly felt even more ashamed.
"I want to ask you, how and when were the purchasing agents, housekeepers, and wet nurses recruited into your mansion?"
"Your Highness, the housekeeper is an old man in the mansion. He has been here for 20 years. It was my wife who took care of everything. As for the purchasing and the wet nurse, they were all recruited by the housekeeper."
"What about the wife of the old man? She is a foreign woman who frequently goes in and out of the backyard. Without the nod from you, the mistress, how could she do that?"
Upon hearing this, the general paused.
She didn't pay much attention to the backyard, because the grandma did give him some privileges because Le Yu did give him some privileges out of pity for the wife and husband who mistreat their own children in order to take care of her son.
Now it seems that all my kindness has gone to waste.
"Captain Shen had better tell the truth, otherwise it will be a heinous crime that will lead to the execution of all nine generations of your clan!"
"I dare not lie to you, Your Majesty. Every word I say is true and I will never lie."
Xia Lu Ning asked someone to interrogate the housekeeper again.
Under torture, the butler confessed the truth very easily.
She didn't know that the wet nurse's wife and the purchaser were the same person, she just accepted the bribes and recruited them.
Xia Lu Ning knew that Nai Gong and Cai Mai were the same person because when they were arresting him, they found that the man's appearance had suddenly changed. The officers and soldiers received her orders and were afraid that the fish might have slipped through the net, so they arrested the man based on the principle of rather arresting one by mistake than letting anyone go.
The officers and soldiers who originally had doubts were suddenly certain in their hearts when they saw the man suddenly resist and try to run away. There must be something wrong with that man, otherwise why would he run away?
Later, after asking other servants in the mansion, it turned out that she was the purchasing agent of the mansion.
The officers and soldiers informed her of the situation, and she immediately thought of disguise. Otherwise, how could a person disappear out of thin air and then another person appear out of thin air at the scene?
So she began to interrogate the buyer relentlessly, but he was a stubborn man and she was exhausted for the entire afternoon.
She was not too stubborn as she had just gotten married and was already on guard against Xian, so she would not give them any chance to take advantage of her.
She already had a rough guess about what happened this time.
It's nothing more than that the people of Xixian are still ambitious. They have been lurking in Donglan for many years. They have used the beauty of Western men to control the Western Regions and used the Western Regions as their knife. This time they also want to assassinate the queen mother to disrupt the morale of our army.
She was not afraid. She would just go to war with them again. This time, she would make them question their lives and never have the heart to rebel again!
Seeing that it was getting late, her lovely husband should be awake by now, so she had to go back quickly.
It’s all because of these Siamese people. They made her wedding so miserable!
Looking at King Ning's leaving back, Shen Bairou fell into deep thought.
Following King Ning's question just now, her mood became much heavier.
When she first saw the child, she was a little suspicious because he looked so much like her.
Under what circumstances would two people who look alike appear in this world?
The answer is family.
You know, even her family members don’t look particularly alike.
It just so happens that the child looks really like her.
Even the mother said that the child looked like she was carved from the same mold as she was when she was a child.
The child is very likable. You can see that the person who raised him took good care of him. He is fair and plump.
She liked it immediately!
When she heard that he was separated from his family, she felt so sad and took him back home.
Except when she is busy with official business, she always takes people with her personally.
Such a big change happened in the mansion this time, but she didn't have time to tell him, and she didn't know what happened to the child.
Then he thought of his grandma's family, and his heart sank suddenly.
When she first met Yuanyuan, she became suspicious. She sent someone to investigate and found out that all the master's words were bullshit. But when she thought carefully about the situation back then, she immediately realized that there was something wrong with the midwife as well.
She sent someone to find a midwife, but received no news.
I guess they are on guard.
For Yuanyuan's safety, she pretended not to realize anything and didn't expose them.
The key now is to find the whereabouts of her biological son. After so many years, no one knows where they took him.
He originally planned to find his son first and then punish them, but he didn't expect that they were spies from the enemy country, and the entire Taiwei Mansion was dragged into the water.
Come to think of it, what the Fifth Princess said was true. As the mistress of the dynasty, she was truly a failure.
I just hope my son and Yuanyuan are okay.
Does God also think that their family shouldn’t have a son?
I finally had a son, but now he's lost.
