No script time travel, the general helped me rise to the top
Chapter 257: Rebellion
Seeing the situation, Xue Qingqing held her forehead and covered her chest and said coquettishly,
"My lord, I don't know how I fell into a coma. Now I am feeling worse and worse. Could you please allow me to rest for an hour or two? I will leave after that."
Prince Zi'an had already made instructions to Shadow, so there was no need to forcibly drive Xue Qingqing away.
Since she insists on staying, she must be useful.
So he replied without thinking, "Okay! I have something else to do, you can leave after you have a good rest!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Xue Qingqing watched the shadow go away, and immediately drove away the maids who came to serve her, saying that she wanted to rest alone and did not want to be disturbed.
After everyone had left and she had locked the door, she could finally search the Prince of Zi'an's study to see if there were any important clues.
She carefully looked at every furnishing in the room and the desk in the cabinet. Although she had some doubts about her coma in the past few days, she did not care about anything else in order to save her life.
When she was checking an antique display shelf, she found a golden vessel in the middle that was out of tune with the other objects. So she deliberately turned the golden vessel around, and unexpectedly, a hole more than one meter high opened up at the bottom of the display shelf.
"Could this be the secret passage?" Xue Qingqing bent down and probed inside. The dim echo indicated that the passage was not short. Xue Qingqing found an oil lamp and walked in with bent down. When she got inside, the height suddenly became suitable.
Holding the oil lamp, Xue Qingqing walked forward with a heavy heart. Any slight movement would make her so scared that she would quickly cover her mouth.
After walking through the winding passage for nearly a quarter of an hour, bright lampshades suddenly appeared on both sides of the passage, as if there was an important place ahead.
Xue Qingqing lifted her skirt and walked forward lightly. At that moment, a heavy voice came from the other side of the wall.
"Aunt Xi, based on my experience with Princess Tao Le over the past few days, she is definitely not the kind of person who will let go easily. Once she has made up her mind, she will find out the truth herself."
"So what if we have found out the truth? We had planned to have Queen Rui An imprisoned there. It was just a show. I didn't expect that this girl would trust her father whom she hadn't seen for many years so much. We really underestimated her."
Through the stained glass window on the stone wall, Xue Qingqing saw a person dressed as a court lady standing opposite Prince Zi'an. Her name was Aunt Xi, and from the way she spoke, it seemed that she was more powerful than Prince Zi'an.
It seems that I have really discovered a big secret this time.
Xue Qingqing put her ear close to them, hoping to hear what they said more carefully.
"It's not that she trusts King Rong that much, but it seems like there is some unknown secret between them?" King Zi'an vaguely sensed this when he saw Yangyang in the black prison last time. This is also what he has always wanted to investigate about Aunt Xi.
But now, in order to conduct a more in-depth investigation, he had to pretend to be on the same side as Aunt Xi, hoping to obtain the evidence he wanted.
Aunt Xi has always been extremely cautious about Prince Zi'an's test. How could she possibly tell a system character that she is a time traveler? This is a big taboo.
So she just responded calmly, "Maybe this is the bond of blood that is thicker than water!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How is Helan Qin doing these days?"
"After setting a fire, they have calmed down a lot!" Prince Zi'an replied, "But we still have people watching them."
"Watch carefully. I don't want anything to go wrong before Tang Yuwei gets that thing! As long as this thing is done, the position of Rong Kingdom will be yours in the future!"
Hearing this, Xue Qingqing suddenly felt her heart beating wildly. This time she heard something even more extraordinary. It turned out that Prince Zi'an wanted to usurp the throne.
Just as he was thinking about it, his nervous fingers scratched the oil lamp heavily, making a 'hissing' sound.
When she looked up again, she found that Prince Zi'an and Aunt Xi were no longer behind the stained glass window. They must have heard her voice and left in a hurry.
Then it rang in his ears, "It seems that Yuwenbo asked you to come here just for this!"
Xue Qingqing screamed in shock, and when she turned around, her mouth was covered by a shadow. Behind the shadow stood Prince Zi'an.
Xue Qingqing took a few quick breaths, her pupils contracted as if she saw the King of Hell.
Without waiting for the shadow to let go of her hand, she fell to her knees with a plop, clasped her hands and said, "My lord, please spare me. I really didn't hear anything. I am..." Her panicked look and wandering eyes showed that even she herself did not believe her explanation, let alone Prince Zi'an.
Shadow immediately drew out his sword and placed it on her slender neck.
Xue Qingqing looked at the shining sword, then slowly raised her head to look at Prince Zi'an, who was looking at her like an ant. Xue Qingqing felt her legs go limp and she collapsed on her calves, "Prince, I..."
"Don't want to die?" Prince Zi'an said jokingly when he saw that she had fallen into despair.
Xue Qingqing raised her head in a daze, "Ah?", and then nodded, "Please have mercy, Your Majesty. I will never dare to do it again!"
"Don't dare? What else do you not dare to do? Seducing the prince, breaking into the maze and eavesdropping." Shadow tightened the blade of the knife and left a shallow scar on Xue Qingqing's neck. Xue Qingqing was so scared that she didn't dare to move.
"Hey!" Prince Zi'an stopped Shadow's next move and signaled him to put the knife away.
Xue Qingqing saw the knife move away, and finally saved her life. The moment she thought about it, she said, "My lord, I wonder what you need me to do. I am willing to do anything!"
"You are good at judging the situation, which is not completely useless!" Prince Zi'an sneered, and saw through Xue Qingqing's tricks, "I'm afraid you have said the same thing to your young master!"
"Young Marquis?" Xue Qingqing paused, then said aggrievedly, "Yuwen Bo, he has wanted to kill me for a long time. In his eyes, I am just an object. If I don't follow his request..."
Xue Qingqing knelt and moved forward a few steps. When she reached the feet of Prince Zi'an, she used her old tricks to cry and complain, "I am also the daughter of the left prime minister. Now I am helpless and helpless. Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty, and give me a way out."
It's not that Prince Zi'an didn't investigate Xue Qingqing. Her reputation was widely spread among the Beijing guards. It was as outrageous as it could be, but that wasn't the most important thing. What was important was that she was willing to do anything to survive.
And the conversation he had just had with Aunt Xi must have made her believe that he was a traitor.
He leaned forward slightly and looked into Xue Qingqing's eyes. "There is indeed a way out..."
