Reborn to overthrow the throne, I became the new emperor's dark moonlight

Chapter 111 The Secret Revealed by Marquis Changning

"You, what do you want to do?"

Marquis Changning leaned back and quickly looked around.

This is a valley, surrounded by the Xinjiang Northern Army, but none of his people.

He was caught by Qiao Xi.

This bitch!

Qiao Xi smiled, "Kill you."

"Princess, there is no grudge between you and me. I just wanted to save you. Don't joke with me."

Marquis Changning was filled with hatred in his heart, but he tried hard to put on a smile on his face.

But soon, the smile on his face could no longer be maintained, because the tip of the knife in Qiao Xi's hand scratched his face.

The pain made him unable to pretend any longer. "You vicious woman, if you dare to kill me, you're not afraid that the emperor will come after you."

"If I hadn't acted in time, I would be the one trapped now."

"Marquis Changning, it was you who wanted to kill me first, but you were not as capable as me, so you fell into my hands."

Qiao Xi spoke lightly, but the knife in his hand was extremely sharp, and he slashed the body of Changning Hou several times.

Marquis Changning was born into wealth and had followed the emperor for all these years without ever having been to the battlefield or suffered any hardship.

The injury he received at Chunfeng Tower was the most painful one in his life in the past few decades. Now Qiao Xi was stabbing him in the sore spot again. He was so painful that he lost his mind and his face was full of anger. "It was you, a bitch, who hurt my son first..."

"Who told you that I was the one who killed Lin Yuanbai?"

Qiao Xi interrupted him, the knife in her hand still moving, "Lin Yuanbai committed adultery in the harem, and it was clearly the emperor who punished him."

"But if you hadn't led the emperor there, how would my son have been discovered?"

Qiao Xi smiled.

Cao Ying actually found it.

"It's really interesting. Lin Yuanbai has harmed countless people, and you, as a father, have not taught him how to raise his children properly and have no intention of reflecting on yourselves.

He served the emperor as a dog for many years, but was executed by the emperor. You didn't dare to seek revenge on the emperor, but came to me instead. But did Cao Ying ask you to come to me?

Don't you suspect that perhaps Lin Yuanbo knew too many of the emperor's secrets, and that's why he was silenced?"

Qiao Xi glared at Marquis Changning sarcastically. People who like to stir up trouble are often easily provoked by others.

She wanted to see how much trust Marquis Changning still had in the emperor after hearing this.

Marquis Changning's eyes flashed with anger, but he said nothing.

Qiao Xi's eyes were ruthless, and he threw the knife to the guard, "Kill him."

"you dare……"

Even so, the guard raised his knife and chopped at him without hesitation. Marquis Changning said hurriedly, "Yes, it was Cao Ying. He told me that Yuan Bo was killed by you. What's wrong with me wanting to avenge my son?

I didn't cause you any actual harm, but you killed my son, ruined my future in the mansion, and even tied me up and brought me here.

I won't bother with you. If you let me go, our past will be written off.

"I was sent by His Majesty to fetch the King of Jiangbei. With so many people accompanying me, some of whom are His Majesty's confidants, if I died, you would be hard pressed to explain."

“You didn’t do nothing, you just didn’t accomplish anything.”

Qiao Xi stepped on the wound on his shoulder and asked, "Who is Hong Ling? Why are you in Chunfeng Tower again?"

Sweat was pouring down Marquis Changning's forehead.

It hurts, and it's also shocking.

It turned out that he had exposed his whereabouts long ago, or perhaps they deliberately allowed him to escape from Chunfeng Tower.

The purpose is to find out the secret of Cha Hongling and Chunfeng Tower.

He hated Qiao Xi and Su Heting for treating him like a fool, but he also felt a little more confident. "Let me go back. When I reunite with the team, I will tell you everything."

Qiao Xi looked at him like a fool, "Since I know it was Cao Ying who told you all this, it's only a matter of time before we find out.

The only choice you can make now is a good death, or a life worse than death, and the life and death of everyone in the Marquis' Mansion."

She winked at the guard, and the guard stabbed Marquis Changning several times.

The guard had followed Su Heting out of the sea of ​​blood and corpses. He knew how to make Marquis Changning feel pain without killing him.

After a moment, Changning Hou lost all his courage. "Hongling is Cao Ying's man. He asked me to go to Chunfeng Tower to find Hongling. He said Hongling could help me kill you."

"What's going on between the Emperor and the Empress?"

Marquis Changning was in so much pain that he was confused. When Qiao Xi suddenly changed the subject, he was stunned for a moment.

It was this hesitation that caused pain in my leg again.

He then realized how ruthless Qiao Xi was and dared not hide it anymore. "I heard that the Queen has another love."

"Who is that person?"

Qiao Xi asked.

Lin Yuanbo was once the chief commander of the secret factory. I don’t know how many shameful things he did for the emperor. He must know a lot of the emperor’s secrets.

Qiao Xi was betting that Lin Yuanbo would reveal something to Marquis Changning.

Marquis Changning shook his head, "I don't know, Yuan Bo didn't say."

Fearing he would be tortured again, he hurriedly said, "However, Yuan Bo said that the man looked somewhat similar to the emperor, so the emperor suspected that the prince was not his child."

This is actually the case.

Qiao Xi felt a chill in her heart.

"The Emperor has been searching for the whereabouts of the Ghost Army all these years just to deal with that person?"

Marquis Changning nodded weakly, "Yes, Yuan Bo left the capital many times to search for the ghost army for the emperor, but he didn't get much because the late emperor didn't leave any clues for the emperor."

"Did Lin Yuanbai leave any evidence of helping the emperor frame the crown prince?"

Marquis Changning suddenly looked up.

Qiao Xi actually even knew this.

And she is still looking for evidence, so she...

She wanted to overturn the prince's verdict, she wanted to go against the emperor, she betrayed the emperor!

Marquis Changning finally figured out the key.

But when he looked at the big knife in the guard's hand stained with his blood, he did not dare to make a deal with Qiao Xi again.

"I'm telling you, but please don't kill me. If I'm alive, I can find out more information for you."

Qiao Xi said calmly, "Speak."

Marquis Changning took her as a yes and hurriedly said, "The puppet placed in the Crown Prince's bedroom was made by an embroiderer in the palace. The embroiderer was once punished by the Crown Prince and had a grudge against him. His Majesty ordered her to be silenced, but Yuan Bo kept her alive."

They, father and son, served the emperor and were worried that they would be abandoned one day, so they left him with something to hold over them.

This is also the reason why the emperor did not kill all the people in Changning Marquis' Mansion when Yuan Bo committed the crime.

Yuan Bo has done too much, and the emperor is afraid that Yuan Bo has a trick up his sleeve. When forced into a corner, the Changning Marquisate makes a desperate bet.

"Where is the embroiderer?"

Marquis Changning shook his head, "Yuan Bo didn't tell me, but if the emperor takes action against the Marquis's Mansion, Xiu Niang will tell the world the truth about the prince's witchcraft curse.

I am Yuan Bo's father. I understand his ways better than you do. As long as I am alive, I will be able to help you find her."

Qiao Xi frowned.

Lin Yuanbo probably knew that the Marquis of Changning was not a man who could handle things, so not telling him the whereabouts of the embroiderer was actually a guarantee for the Marquis's mansion.

She skipped over this matter and asked, "Where is the evidence that the emperor murdered the Qiao family? Is there any?"

Marquis Changning was extremely surprised. "Qiao... The Qiao family was also harmed by the emperor?"

He really didn't know about this.

When the Qiao family encountered trouble, Lin Yuanbo was still a child and was not valued by the emperor.

The emperor valued Marquis Changning, but he only used him as a pawn to do some dirty things for the emperor that the emperor was not convenient to do.

The emperor would naturally not entrust such a major matter as murdering a loyal minister to the brainless Marquis of Changning.

Qiao Xi actually understood it in her heart.

But something happened to the Qiao family, and even Ji Chuan couldn't provide many clues, so she didn't want to miss anyone who might know about this.

The surprise on Marquis Changning's face disappointed her.

I wondered who the emperor would ask to do this.

She quickly went through the emperor's confidants in her mind, but none of them matched her expectations.

Since I can't figure it out, I can only go to the capital and investigate carefully.

Now, she had to go and see how Changsheng and his brothers were fighting with Su Heting.

"killed."

She instructed before turning around.

Marquis Changning was shocked, "You, you lied to me."

Qiao Xi didn't even turn around, "The assassins from the Dark Factory will agree to any conditions to trick the other party into telling the truth.

But there's no need to fulfill it, because the living don't have to keep their promises to the dead. This is what Lin Yuanbo taught me. Didn't he teach you?"

Marquis Changning was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood, "You..."

The rest of the words were completely choked in his stomach as his head fell to the ground.
