"I'm afraid."

Chen Xi said with a smile, "It's just that risks always come with opportunities. No, I risked my life to go out, but I ran into you. If it was too late and everyone ran away, it would be difficult for me.

Already."

Seeing Chen Xi's self-satisfied look, the master was filled with hatred.

Just a little bit, just a little bit away. As long as she leaves this city gate, from now on, the sky is high and birds can fly. What if Yan Yunxi knows what she has done?

After leaving here, with the help of the three princesses, I can start a new life.

Everything Yan Yunxi is doing now will end up being a waste of effort.

The result is that with this small gap, the winner will be the king or the loser, and the outcome is already doomed.

"How about---I give you another chance?"

Chen Xi looked at the unwilling look on his master's face, thought for a while and said, "As long as you explain who the person behind you is, how about I let you go this time?"

"Think about it, you are still young, why would you risk your own life for the sake of others?"

"As long as you confess, I promise that I will never make things difficult for you. This transaction is not a loss, right?"

Chenxi is just giving it a try, what if it really works?

If the master really revealed who the person behind her was, it would save her the effort in the future, and it would be a matter of just one sentence to make a sure profit without losing money.

"Do you really mean what you say, Madam?"

The master was moved for a moment. After all, if people can live, who would want to die?

"Of course it's true."

Oops, the morning light shines in front of my eyes, there is something interesting.

It seems that the heroine's personality charm is not very strong, so she was caught so easily.

"Okay," Master hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Chen Xi's request, "The people behind me are actually three..."

Before the master could finish his words, a cold arrow shot from nowhere pierced the master's heart in one fell swoop.

Without the slightest pause, the master died on the spot, fell to the ground and stopped breathing. His eyes were wide open before he died, as if he was unwilling to close his eyes even if he died.

I will never die with my eyes in peace!!!

"Guard, guard quickly, protect the safety of the princess."

Things happened so suddenly that even Chen Xi didn't expect such a thing to happen.

After a moment of panic, the accompanying soldiers immediately surrounded Chen Xi tightly and protected him, for fear that something would happen to Chen Xi.

"Okay, step back."

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. Chen Xi knew that the person had left and there would be no danger.

Thinking about it, Yan Lingqing doesn't have any advantages now. The power she possesses is hidden in secret in order to hide from others. If something happens to her, the throne will not fall on Yan Lingqing.

When the time comes, the first choice to become the princess will be the second princess.

Yan Lingqing is not the kind of good person who does good deeds without seeking fame or fortune. How could she do useless work and build a ladder to the sky for others? That is not her style.

If the second princess becomes the princess, all Yan Lingqing's advantages will disappear. The second princess is not the original owner and will have no defense against Yan Lingqing.

Only when the original owner firmly takes the position of the concubine can Yan Lingqing achieve the fastest and best development.

For her own sake, Yan Lingqing would naturally not take action against her at this time.

Not only will he not take action against her, but he may have to protect her personal safety before Yan Lingqing has an absolute advantage.

The soldier protecting Chen Xi also noticed that the enemy hidden behind him made no other movements. After waiting for a while to make sure that the opponent would not make any moves, he vacated his position and allowed Chen Xi to step out.

Chen Xi walked up to the master and made sure that the person was completely dead and could not be saved. She was silent for a while before letting someone deal with the matter.

It's rare to have a great opportunity, but it was wasted like this.

She really deserves to be the heroine who ascended the throne in the end. She was really merciless in her actions. She had done so many things for her and created so many benefits for her. At the critical moment, she was really able to abandon her at will.

If it weren't for the heroine's halo to control the scene, her ruthless behavior would not be afraid of chilling the hearts of those who work hard for her.

When Chen Xi led people to arrest the master, he did not hide it at all. His careless demeanor naturally let Huang Shilang know about it.

She walked around the room anxiously, not only worried that the master could not escape in time, but also afraid that after the master escaped, the concubine would conduct a thorough investigation and find out who she was.

It was in this anxious situation that the news that Chen Xi had brought someone back quickly reached Huang Shilang's ears.

Huang Shilang hesitated for a moment, unable to calm down, so he could only go out to find Chen Xi to see if he could get any clues.

"Shilang Huang? It's so late, what can I do?"

Chen Xi heard the announcement that Huang Shilang was coming and let her in.

"I heard that the master who was imprisoned in the prison escaped. The concubine sent people to chase him, but did they catch him?" Huang Shilang asked tentatively.

"I caught up with him," Chen Xi looked at Huang Shilang, and then said playfully, "It's a pity that he died and was not brought back."

Chen Xi was a little curious. If Huang Shilang knew that Yan Lingqing had dealt with the master, would he be chilled by Yan Lingqing's cold-blooded attitude, and would he still help Yan Lingqing as always?

"died?"

Huang Shilang lost his voice and asked, "But Madam, you..."

Huang Shilang didn't expect that Chen Xi would kill someone directly. This was simply beyond her expectation.

"It wasn't me," Chen Xi didn't want to take the blame for Yan Lingqing, "she was killed by the person behind her."

"I was about to find out who was the mastermind behind this, but who knew that the other party was not at all concerned about this master. He had people watching him all the time. He realized that the master might expose himself if he stayed, so he killed him."

"This method is also straightforward and neat. If it weren't for the enemy, I would have praised her."

"When it's time to cut it off, it's decisive enough."

Chen Xi also knew how to maintain a certain degree of control, and did not try to persuade Huang Shilang deliberately, but used a hint to let Huang Shilang subconsciously know that Yan Lingqing was an unreliable person.

The death of the master made Chen Xi know that Yan Lingqing actually distrusted every one of his subordinates, especially Huang Shilang, who was the original owner.

She could easily betray the original owner, and naturally she could easily betray Yan Lingqing.

Even for the master, a confidant that Yan Lingqing had attracted, Yan Lingqing was worried about having someone follow him to take precautions, not to mention a person like Huang Shilang who originally had his own master but betrayed his master.

If Huang Shilang betrayed Yan Lingqing all of a sudden, it would only make Yan Lingqing wary. She would get rid of him just in case as a precaution, and it would be impossible for her to use him.

What Chen Xi wanted to do was to let Huang Shilang know from the bottom of his heart that Yan Lingqing was an unreliable person, so that Huang Shilang had a hint of rebellion against Yan Lingqing.

As long as he uses it properly, Huang Shilang can become the trump card in her hand. At the critical moment, he can be used by her to bring down Yan Lingqing.

"I didn't expect that the mastermind behind this is also a cruel person."

Well, as for Master, Huang Shilang has never worked with her before, but he has heard some things about her.

I heard that she had been working for the Third Princess a long time ago. From the time Master Jiang appeared next to Master Jiang, she was already a member of the Third Princess.

Such a loyal person who always cared about the Third Emperor's daughter was killed like this. Huang Shilang couldn't help but feel the sadness of a rabbit dying and a fox dying in his heart.

Even a confidant like the Master, the Third Princess can easily get rid of someone like her who is originally loyal to her master after making sure that the other party is of no use. Is it in the heart of the Third Princess?

Is it optional?

If the concubine hadn't trusted her a lot now, and she still had some use for the third princess, would she also be a chess piece that could be discarded at any time?

"Forget it, things are already like this, it's useless to say more." Just stop when the morning light comes.

"By the way," Chen Xi suddenly remembered something, "If Master can escape from the prison, it means that someone has taken care of her."

"Being able to rescue people without alerting anyone means that one of us must be their insider. I leave it to you to investigate and find out who betrayed me as soon as possible.

"

Chen Xi knew clearly that this matter was done by Huang Shilang, but she still deliberately asked Huang Shilang to investigate the matter in order to let Huang Shilang know that she had not suspected her yet.

Huang Shilang still has some use for her. If it is revealed too early that she already knows that Huang Shilang has betrayed her, then Huang Shilang's move will be useless.

Therefore, Chen Xi doesn't mind giving Huang Shilang a reassurance to reassure her.

"Yes, I understand."

Huang Shilang originally wanted to test whether Chen Xi already knew about his betrayal. After hearing what Chen Xi said, he knew that Chen Xi had not linked this matter to her, and he was finally able to relax.

Already.

"Let me investigate this matter as soon as possible. I must see the results within three days."

Without pressure, there is no motivation. Chen Xi posed a problem for Huang Shilang.

Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, Huang Shilang agreed to the matter without any rebuttal, and then resigned and left.

According to the current time, General Qi should be arriving in Jiangnan soon.

When they arrived in Jiangnan, they could no longer hide the fact that they had asked someone to set off first.

According to Yan Lingqing's thinking, it was decided that it was impossible for her to establish a good reputation, otherwise the possibility of Yan Lingqing ascending to the throne in the future would be very slim.

Once Yan Lingqing knows that she has a good reputation among the people, Chen Xi doesn't know what she will do.
