Chapter 289: The worst that can happen is that I will die together with He Yunxiao
Early the next morning, after He Yunxiao sent Sister Du off to work, he hurried to Jinxianyuan to find the antidote girl.
It was related to the situation in Qi Yan and the life of Lady Wuyou, so He Yunxiao didn't dare to delay at all.
After waiting for a while in the living room of Jinxianyuan, the antidote girl appeared as promised.
He Yunxiao looked at the antidote in men's clothing and felt secretly regretful. Judging from the curvature that even loose men's clothes can't cover, Miss Jie Yao's capital is very strong, and she must be a guy who doesn't care about fabrics. But what does such a rare beauty do wearing men's clothes all day long?
However, He Yunxiao also knew that he was not familiar enough with Jie Yao to comment on Jie Yao's clothing.
If it's Sister Du, then she will wear whatever I tell her to wear. Wuyou and Ziwei need to be coaxed. As for Nanzhu, she had to bribe Xing'er in Linxuan Palace, but outside the palace she had to tell the truth.
When the antidote came to the opposite side of him, and as soon as he sat down, He Yunxiao said: "Miss Li, last time we talked about catching the ghosts in the Criminal Department, I have already told the female spy I protect. She said: There are no spies from the Yan Kingdom in the Criminal Department. ”
Meng Qingqian said: "Listening to what you said, you don't want to hide your identity from her anymore? Have you confessed?"
He Yunxiao said with relief: "I confessed. She is willing to pay for her crime and make meritorious service."
Meng Qingqian looked at He Yunxiao calmly.
After the last separation, she specially investigated He Yunxiao's recent behavior. The only thing worth noting was that he redeemed the brothel girl named "Jiang Wuyou" from his home. This woman was once invited by the Ministry of Rites to perform a dance in the palace. She is a very rare dancer.
Meng Qingqian simply followed the clues and checked Jiang Wuyou's life experience. She unexpectedly discovered that the background information of this brothel woman was actually neat and complete. More detailed than ordinary people.
Most of the women in brothels come from rough backgrounds. Among them, it is not easy to check the household registration, let alone someone with a complete background like Jiang Wuyou.
While Meng Qingqian was still ordering people to continue digging into Jiang Wuyou, she also had some guesses in her mind. The time when He Yunxiao "ransomed people" basically coincided with the time when He Yunxiao approached him to talk about "protecting the spy." Therefore, Jiang Wuyou is very likely to be the spy of the Yan Kingdom that He Yunxiao wants to protect.
In addition, Jiang Wuyou is a courtesan and beautiful, so protecting her at all costs is in line with what He Yunxiao, a pervert, would do.
After He Yunxiao said, "There are no spies in the Ministry of Punishment," he found that the antidote opposite him was not the least bit surprised.
"Aren't you surprised?"
Meng Qing smiled slightly and said, "Why am I surprised?"
He Yunxiao was stunned and said: "You asked me to send a message to 'test the Ministry of Justice' before. Not only to test whether there are any secret agents from the Yan Kingdom in the Ministry of Justice, but also to test me and her?"
Meng Qingqian continued to smile and said: "You are not stupid. The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of justice, and I am..."
He Yunxiao:?
Meng Qingqian, who said the wrong thing, blushed for a moment, then immediately calmed down.
"This is where I and my sister are focusing our attention. Every official of the Ministry of Justice has been investigated. It is basically impossible to have a secret agent from Yan State. Anyone who knows a little bit about this matter will know. If the female spy you protect doesn't even know this If it does, it will only prove that her level is too low and worthless.”
He Yunxiao deeply felt that "the emperor's heart is unpredictable." Sister Jiang was right. These high-ranking people were very suspicious. They were always suspicious and defensive.
"Miss Li, why do you call yourself 'this palace'?" He Yunxiao asked casually.
Meng Qingqian smiled lightly.
Sure enough, even if you say the wrong thing, hiding it will make people suspicious. On the contrary, if you say it openly, no one will doubt it.
"The predecessor of Jinxianyuan was the royal palace. Now it is sold to the Li family and managed by Qingmeng. Can't Qingmeng call herself 'my palace'?"
When He Yunxiao heard Antidote's explanation, he didn't think much about it, but went straight to the point without any further ado.
"Miss Li, there's going to be a war."
At this point, Meng Qingqian's interest was finally aroused.
She said: "Did the female spy tell you this news?"
"yes."
Meng Qingqian said quite confidently: "It seems that you have a good relationship with your female spy. She is even willing to tell you this Yan State's national policy."
He Yunxiao said speechlessly: "You don't know it again, do you?"
Meng Qingqian raised the corners of his mouth and looked at He Yunxiao proudly. She would never show such an expression to others. There is no other reason than that others do not deserve it. However, He Yunxiao, who broke her guard, was an exception.
Meng Qingqian always subconsciously had the urge to prove herself in front of He Yunxiao. The origin of this impulse was probably because she had been embarrassed too many times in front of He Yunxiao.
"Not to mention that our country, Qi, has always monitored the main force of the Yan army. As for intelligence, do you think that only the country of Yan has spies, and we, the country of Qi, do not have spies?"
Seeing Meng Qingqian's proud look, He Yunxiao twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Do you also know that Qi State's border defense arrangement was learned by Yan State?"
Meng Qingqian's expression changed slightly, he frowned and stared at He Yunxiao with extremely serious eyes: "Is this true!?"
He Yunxiao was startled by the sudden coercion of Antidote. Subconsciously said: "Yeah."
As soon as He Yunxiao finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the "pressure" that he had just been forced to admit seemed to be the heroine's halo of the antidote girl that "must be obeyed". It happened so suddenly, and I was unprepared, it was still very scary.
Meng Qingqian stared at He Yunxiao, and He Yunxiao also stared at her blankly. After just two breaths, Meng Qingqian's body felt itchy unconsciously, and her cheeks became slightly red and slightly hot.
An irresistible feeling of shame brewed from her heart and filled her whole body.
This was the sequelae of her being completely broken by He Yunxiao after the "Pink Peony Handkerchief" incident.
Meng Qingqian quickly stopped looking at He Yunxiao, turned her head, and unconsciously touched the bell hidden under her clothes on her chest.
The hardness of the bell made her feel a little calmer, and the self-suggestion of grasping He Yunxiao's lifeline also made the shame in her heart recede a lot.
Meng Qingqian repeatedly hinted to herself: Although her face had been completely embarrassed in front of He Yunxiao, the person who did all the bad things was actually just "Li Qingmeng" and had nothing to do with "Meng Qingqian". Moreover, the bell that controls the Soul-Eating Pill and He Yunxiao's life is still in his hands. At worst, he and He Yunxiao will die together. There is nothing to be afraid of.
After Meng Qingqian calmed down, she immediately got down to business. She said: "Qi State's border defense was informed by Yan State. How sure are you of this matter? Are there any details? For example, which paragraph and part of it was obtained?"
He Yunxiao said clearly: "I'm very sure. According to my spy friend, basically, the layout of the northern defense line has been known to Yan State."
Border security is a major national matter, and even if Meng Qingqian does not have military power in his hands, he will not neglect it.
Most of the military power of Qi State is in the hands of Prime Minister Han, so the border security leaks should at least be discussed with him. Family and country matters come first, so put aside internal strife.
